The Legend of the Dragon Ruby: Prologue

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own InuYasha or any of the characters, I do, however own Kaida, Hoshiko, the 4 dragon Mikos, Gin and Rya. *sigh* InuYasha's ears are so kawaii!!!

Long ago in Japan, before the jewel of four souls was even created, there was a more powerful gem called the Dragon Ruby. It is unknown how it was created; the only thing known was that the holder would have unlimited powers and a control over all dragons. The guardian of this great gem was the legendary rainbow dragon miko, Hoshiko. When she died, guarding the dragon ruby, she asked to be burned with it, like the priestess Kikyo did in later times, but Hoshiko had a slightly different request. The jewel was burned into the center of her heart.

Hoshiko was the great, great, great, great grandmother of Midoriko. Over a millennia past and the dragon ruby was forgotten over time, only the oldest of demons and the hidden dragons were left with memories of the precious jewel that had disappeared. The dragons were waiting for the one who was to be their savoir for they were nearly exterminated once Hoshiko died.

The only way for the jewel to be brought back into this world was for the four dragon mikos of the land (North, South, East and West) to have a baby; North with South, East with West, then when the children grew up, boy and girl, for them to have a child, which would be the rainbow dragon miko. This was a nearly impossible task as the dragon miko of the North was a tiger demon with the power to transform in to any cat, the dragon miko of the South was a fairy with immense power, the dragon miko of the East was a human and the dragon miko of the West was a wolf demon able to transform into any relative of the dog/wolf family. To add to the unlikely hood of this occurring, the four tribes were in a war for land and such, so there was almost no possible way for this event to happen. (A/N: I know that mikos are female, but please just go with it. It makes the story work! Ok… read on)

Love can be found in the most unlikely of places and one day while going out, the four dragon mikos met and became fast friends, not realising they were all dragon mikos and were fulfilling part 1 of the prophecy. They ran away together going to the middle of the lands, hiding in the neutral center kingdom. They didn't care who or what the others were and the east and west as well as the north and south fell in love and each had a child, a boy and girl, fulfilling part 2 of the prophecy. They (the parents/original 4 dragon mikos) were found and killed 15 years later protecting their children (who escaped and lived). Not long after the two children, Gin (female) and Rya (male), got together and had a child (13 years before InuYasha was freed by Kagome). Sadly they were found, just like their parents not even a year later and Gin brought their baby, Kaida, to her friend's house for her to care for her, leaving her daughter with only a locked necklace telling her of the legend, her past and her powers. Gin ran, but was caught and taken to be murdered with her husband (Rya).

14 years later…

Damn… I was kicked out of yet another village. I'm Kaida the rainbow dragon miko. That's right, I figured out how to open my locked a few years ago; I accidentally sparked my powers and when holding my locket and it popped open. I must admit that I was quite surprised. I learned how to use my powers by training with a kind elderly lady named Kaede for a couple years. I left when I was twelve and had mastered everything she could teach me and more. I've been travelling since I was 5 and was kicked out of Kumiko's house (she's the lady I was staying with) because I accidentally used some power and it scared her. I'm unique and can do quite a lot for a fourteen-year-old, but that's for you to see later…
