Prologue: How she came to be

A young woman gently rubbed her flat stomach. She was so happy, the love she felt for her American had brought about a new life. She was going to tell him tonight when she went to see him. Her cheeks flushed as she thought of her American.

It had been his blue eyes that had first caught her attention. It had been like he was staring straight into her soul. So she had shyly sat next to him in the bar and introduced herself. She slowly began to know the quiet rough American and had fallen madly in love with him. Just two weeks after meeting him, they had ended up in his bed.

The first time was three months ago and she had been a virgin, and now she was pregnant. She was so happy. Her American would be happy too and they would be married, she was sure of it. Her Logan would make an honest woman out of her.

….

Nothing was ever how you plan it out. The American, Logan, had told her to kill her child. Told her the child she carried was an abomination and should never be allowed to grow up. She had burst out in tears and run away. She might shame her family but there was no way that she would be able to kill the innocent growing inside her. It was then that she had realized that to save her child's life she would have to leave the man she loved, as heartless as he was, and raise the child on her own. Let him think that she had done away with the 'abomination'.

Gathering up her courage, she wiped away her tears and went to confront her first and only love.

"If I must kill our child, then you must leave Japan and never come back." Those were the last words she had said to him before she lost herself in the crowd. He would leave and never return. She knew he would, he had nothing here anymore.

….

As time seemed to do, it passed quickly. Soon the young woman could no longer hide the fact that she was pregnant from her family. Being unmarried and pregnant was a grave in her parents eyes. They disowned her and threw her in the streets to care for herself and her unborn child.

Until one day, when the young woman visited a shrine on the top of a grand staircase. She had gone to pray to the massive tree that dwelled there. She prayed for her unborn child to be born healthy and that somehow she would be able to support it on her own. The caretaker and his son overheard her prayer to the Tree Of Ages and decided to intervene.

The son was unable to have children of his own, and it had become a worry for him and his father. The shrine was missing the loving touch of a woman and the father greived for the grandchildren he would never receive. The young man approached the woman and a love story beyond the imagination began.

Within a week's time the two were married and four months after they were wed a beautiful baby girl with sparkling blue eyes was born into their happily family.

"We shall name her Kagome, after the woman who saved the world and protected the very tree that brought us together." The young mother looked down at her little girl. "One day you'll be just like the woman your named after, Kagome the Shikon Miko. You'll be strong and brave, with a heart that can heal even the bitterest of enemies."

If only she had truly known.

AN: This idea has been pestering me for a while now. I wanted to try my hand at an xmen Inuyasha crossover. What do you guys think? I have a bunch of ideas for this one and know the beginning is a bit iffy but hang in there and I will have the next chapter or two out soon (They will be a lot longer than this one of course). But let me know what you think so far!
