It all began, as everyone's life began, with birth and growing up. My parents died early, so I took care of my sister, Kaede, on my own. When my powers were discovered as those of a miko, I trained, because I could secure a life in which we would at least want for nothing and I could even protect them from youkai. Yes, it sounded so simple back then, but it got tough, a lot harder than I had imagined. I watched other young women getting dressed, looking for men, but as Miko I had to concentrate on my task. I hadn't got a baby, didn't "only" have to protect a village, no, I had to guard the Shikon no Tama and keep it clean. It was a difficult task and if my strength hadn't been so strong, it was far too difficult for a miko alone, but I was strong.

Then Inuyasha came into my life and everything changed. At first we were enemies and he was a selfish aggressive hanyou, but he learned and we became friends.He helped me bear the burden of protecting the village and the Shikon no Tama. It no longer weighed on my shoulders alone. He soon gave me the lipstick, his mother's lipstick. I was so touched that I couldn't put the chain of spells on him that I had made for him. It seemed mean and sneaky to me, and I would deal with his temper just as I did before. He really accompanied me everywhere, helped me with every youkai, no matter how small he was - if he thought I was in danger - because he was also lazy and conceited. Well, it still is the latter. We found each other slowly, very slowly, because we were both used to loneliness. He even more than I, because I was at least surrounded by villagers who valued me and had a little sister who loved me, Kaede. He, however, he was probably completely alone most of the time, was hated by everyone and therefore he probably distanced himself from the world. I even invited him to play with me and the kids, but he declined.I understood, even if he looked wistfully after us - yes, I noticed it, even if he didn't know. His pride didn't let it play along and he wanted to keep it, after all, as a Hanyou, he didn't have much more than that. His demonic half would probably not have played anyway, because this was probably not up for such harmless jokes.

A few years went by and our company was always enough for us, but then everything changed. My powers had weakened through our relationship, probably because of the curse that Tsubaki once put on me, because I actually felt stronger than before - or I just didn't want to believe her words from then. She had said that I shouldn't fall in love, that would be my downfall, but I didn't want to admit that. Yes, maybe it was actually my fault what followed, I don't know. In any case, Kaede lost her eyesight on her right side due to my inattentiveness.I was distracted to see Inuyasha struggle, the deep pain in his eyes. Basically he was just as sorry as I was always having to fight, always being on guard so that it wouldn't be the last day on earth. After this fight was over and I had taken care of my little sister, our conversation began, that was the beginning of the end. I suggested to him to become human with the jewel so that he could stop fighting - yes it was me. But he didn't just make his decision, he asked what would happen to me because he loved me as I loved him. I told him: I would become a simple woman, because then I could hand over my job to another Miko and be happy with him. I knew it would work then, but I couldn't just hand over the Shikon no Tama to someone, especially not Tsubaki. We kissed that evening, it didn't need any words, because we loved each other and that was our proof of that, our oath.The next time I tried to bring him the Shikon no Tama, everything went wrong ...

Inuyasha came to me during the night, wanting it to be tomorrow morning instead of tomorrow afternoon. At least I thought it was him, but I was fooled, like the next day. I went to the meeting point in the morning and he attacked and injured me. He stole my Shikon no Tama and said it was all made up. There would be nothing between them and he would only have taken advantage of me. He said it indirectly, but directly enough to break my heart. How could he do that ?! I dragged myself to the village, he said he wanted to show those who were under my protection with the help of the jewel what suffering is. I was angry, infinitely angry, but I couldn't hate him then, I didn't want to. Then I saw Inuyasha, the real one, even if I didn't know. He was in the village! He held the Shikon no Tama in his hand and buildings burned by his deed! We exchanged a look, but we were both hurt by what someone else had done in our place - but we didn't know that.I banned him because I couldn't kill him at that point and he would be there forever anyway. Nobody but me could break the seal and the wound "he" inflicted on me would be my death. She sucked my life out, but it was nothing compared to the pain he was causing me inside. I took the jewel and gave it to Kaede, my younger sister. I was so sorry to leave, that I failed everyone here by falling for a hanyou. Then I died, I no longer had the strength, neither in my body nor in my mind, to deal with the wounds inside me and with that I also fell victim to my physical injury. I took the Shikon no Tama with me to banish it from the world forever, but something happened that I hadn't expected ...
