Kaname, Kagome, Inu-Yasha and all related characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I do not own them of course, this simply a fanfiction.

February 15, 2010- An update that I'm just slowly going through and editing the chapters for some

Okay, this story is based from the PlayStation2 video game of Inu-Yasha: Secret of the Cursed Mask (Juso no Kamen). I'm going from the girl's version of the story (I played both the girl and the guy...and I personally liked the girl's version better.) and yes, Kururugi is keeping the name Rumiko Takahashi gave her in the beginning, Kaname Kururugi. Also, when you got to choose which character that Kaname got to be become close friends with, I picked Kagome. Sorry...

Introduction-

Kaname's School-

"Kaname!" Tomo-chan (mentioned from the opening clip of the game), shouted, waving her hand in front of Kaname's face.

"Huh?!" Kaname jumped from the sudden movement in her face and her chair at her desk fell over. "Ouch..." the girl whispered and looked toward Tomo-chan.

"What is with you? This is the third day you've been day dreaming after the bell has rang!"

"Sorry, Tomo-chan..." Kaname replied back as they left their homeroom class and headed out.

"Hey Kururugi!" A male voiced shouted from behind the two girls.

"Huh? Oh hello Kenshin!" Kaname stated and they both stopped. "I was wondering, why you always seem to be sleeping or something during class." Kenshin, a male from their class, was the "voice and clown" of the class most of the time.

Kaname gave a sweatdrop for a minute and before she was cut off by Tomo-chan, "Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing..." she added in as she gave a small laugh.

"Well?" Kenshin asked again.

"It is just, I've been a bit depressed because I haven't seen a close friend for months now and we met around when my shrine was having our festival," Kaname replied and walked off, leaving the two staring at her back.

Streets in Tokyo-

"Gosh, that was close..." she told herself while walking home. Normally, she'd take the bus; just that she didn't want that today. The sun was shining brightly and she smiled when she noticed two birds from an old tree, flying off at the sudden sound of a car. Kaname felt a bit sorry for being cold towards her friends, though she wasn't quiet in the mood to hear them ask her all weird questions.

In fact actually, ever since I went to past, I've become more positive around people, since Kagome filled that emptiness of friendship that my other friends would always nag me about, she thought to herself. As she continued to walk, she snapped out of her thoughts and noticed that the street was empty and it had suddenly become darker.

"What?" she asked and the wind started to pick up. Nearby trees and trash that had bit behind alley ways began to blow on the street and when she looked toward the area where the skyline was becoming darker, the color seemed purple. As the wind began to continue to pick up, Kaname placed herself behind a car to stop the force of the wind.

As seconds continued to force on, a figure outline was coming from the purple gas area. Suddenly, she flashed back a second...

That color! N-Naraku had that color when he'd use his strange powers and such! That couldn't be! When reality hit her again, the area was clear. The streets had paper scattered all over them but the sun continued to shine brightly as if nothing ever happened.

Kururugi Shrine-

Kaname had run straight home after what had happened around an hour earlier. Thoughts kept rushing through her mind if what she had seen was real or not. Even if the area got suddenly dark and had a purple tone to it, it doesn't mean that a demon or anything strange was happening, right? Her parents weren't home yet (which was much of a thanks to the girl) and she grabbed her cell phone. She had left it at home today and she flicked through the contacts.

"Higurashi...Higurashi..." she kept telling herself, trying to find anything in the menu that would relate to Kagome's number or such, but she had no luck. Opening her closet, she immediately grabbed a pencil and paper that were placed on a shelf. Writing a note to her parents, she stated that there was a celebration this evening at Tomo-chan's house and sorry for not remembering it earlier.

Getting an empty bag, she placed a separate pair of clothes and other needs for sleeping and such into the bag. She was planning on going over to Tomo-chan's...but not before checking out the area or even in hopes of trying to clear out her head first. Kaname walked out of her house, she head down the steps of her shrine, not leaving the note near the entrance to the house, she turned for a instance, seeming to a feel of a demonic aura and turned toward the trees.

"Huh, what am I doing?! I'm going to be late!" She shouted to herself, ignoring the aura, seeming she wanted to find out more about what happened earlier that day. Meanwhile, a set of eyes were watching her from the trees.

"Naraku...this is the Shikigami master? She is nothing but a mere mortal, still...she has a strange power that around her..." a male voice stated from the trees, seeming to be talking to a wasp.

"Don't delay! Get that girl's powers now, before she meets up with the hanyou, Inu-Yasha..." a voice seemed to be out of no where, with a cold tone, as anyone would probably guess it as Naraku.

A/N: Setting of this storyline in Inu-Yasha takes place several months after the video game. I will explain more of this in detail in a later chapter.
