"Take care... of them"
Those were the last words Hikaru Inoue heard from his mother, she had given birth to a daughter and was dying of blood loss, not soon after... his sister died as well. Those two deaths, were too much for his father.
Hikaru and his younger brother Kotaru got send to the mountains to live with their grandparents, they always hoped their father would return one day to take them home.. that never happened.
Hikaru was always a curious little child, he would play high up in the mountains that was surrounded by trees, beautiful animals and the waterfall at the lake. He had his own treehouse, you would think he would play with his younger brother but he couldn't... Kotaru was very ill as a child and always had to stay inside.
This caused Hikaru to cause all sorts of trouble, pranks, just anything to get the attention of his grandparents, but he never got it.. they were too busy with Kotaru.
"IT'S NOT FAIR!!"
One day Hikaru went deep into the forest, his grandparents forbid it, but he wouldn't listen. There he found a cave, going inside he ended up in a big city, it was a portal between the human world and that of the vampire's
"Who are you?"
A boy with beautiful white long hair asked him. They became friends, they always meet each other at the gates of the portal and play in each other's worlds. They fall in love... until the boy didn't show up anymore.
Hikaru's first heartbreak
Four years later, on his eighteenth birthday he went into the forest, he was at his old treehouse. He heard a voice of a small girl.
"Brother..."
"Find me..."
The voice sounded so close and with instincts Hikaru ran after the voice
"Wait! Where are you?!"
After running for half an hour he fell down on his knees panting. The wind blew in his raven hair.
"Who are you?"
I slowly sit up staring at the figures in front of me who were crying tears of joy. I sit there silently still a little dizzy from my soul returning back to my body.
Inuyasha grips me tightly. " Kagome! Thank God! I thought I was going to lose you for good!"
I stare at the man confused. He's hugging me because?
Miroku stands up and starts to walk off. " Let's get back to the village." Everyone agrees and starts to walk away except for me.
Inuyasha glances back. " Are you coming Kagome?!"
I stare at him confused. " Who is Kagome? and who are you people?"
Everyone looks at each other nervously then walk back, I start to climb up on the porch.
" Your Kagome, that's your name." said Miroku. Inuyasha grips onto my arms staring into my eyes. " Kagome, don't you remember anything? d-do you know who I am?"
I stare at him nervously...." No, I-I don't....please let me go....." I squirm out of his grip and quickly stand up trying to find a place to run.
Inuyasha stood there in shock. " Kagome's....afraid of me....she can't remember me....."
