Long ago live a small village deep in the valleys  called Shirakaw-go. The year is 647 as the village was just beginning to thrive. The village was Filled with only a hand full of people and only some working in the rice patties ever day to get by. Only a few of the farmers hunted and raise little live stock. The ladies of the village worked at home cleaning and cooking for the hard working men. Life was peaceful each day being the same as the next. The date is December 18, 647 2:00 am as young couple lay at home were a beautiful maiden is found on the porch of the house of this young couple.  The maiden was greatly injured as cuts covered her body from head to toe. Blood soaked into the young couples floor as they scrambled to cloths and water shocked by the discovery they had made. the womens eyes glows a bright yellow  as two ears protruded from atop her head. Six long lushes tails layed lifeless on the ground as only half of her body managed to reach the porch.
     The young man looking as if only in his twenties  lifted the maiden pulling her the rest of the way onto the porch laying her flat on her back. Her tails layed limp to her side. The young man looked the women over noticing she was baring a child as her lower stomach protrude little. Water covered her clothing at the waist .
      The Man relised she was in labor and called for his wife," Sakura Hurry this women is giving birth. We must help her."
        A young maiden rushed out of the small home with towels and a bowl of water in arms. The young girl looked very young as if she may be in her early twenties. Her black hair long  silk and  smooth. Her eyes scan the maiden over seeing what her husband was speaking of. She raise her free hand to her mouth with ah as her eyes ran across her the ears and tail attached to the women.
    " Hiruama what is she," Sakura asked her husband.
     Hiruama  replied," I honestly dont know but, we must help her. This child needs it."
    The young couple began to work. Hiruama began propping the maidens head as Sakura moved to her lower half of the women. The women Began to slowly to wake as she spoke repeatedly.
    "Save my baby, save my baby, save ....my..... ba...by...." as her eyes closes again.
     "Hey we will save your baby mam," told the women,"  just stay awake."
    He shook the women lightly hoping to get a response but nothing happened. He looked to his wife with as a grim shadow fell across his face. His wife new instantly she was gone from this world. She Turn a pale color as she suddenly relised the baby can be save as she began to work. almost a hour has pasted as the soft crying or a baby is heard in the village. A soft ran had begun to fall in over the time that had pass as they  manage to save the child.
    Hiruama gave his wife a sweat smile as he studied the young new born child. His wife returned the smile as she turned to carry the child inside.  Hiruama turned back to the corpse of the childs mother finding it gone blood and all. Resting in its placed layed one of the maidens long white tails.  He reached for the tail as the sun began to pierce the clouds letting the light to cover the tail. Hiruama Gave a smile as he looked at the sky. His mind ran with ideas of where she might have gone  but knew she made a choice to leave the child with them.
    Over the years the child grew Along with a tail  and horn like ears atop her head. Hiruama and Sakura raised the child letting the village grow to love her as well.  When the girl reached the age of 7 Hiruama had passed away from a boulder landing on him as he was in hunting one day. That day was a long day of raining as the child and Sakura cried for there loss. That day Sakura learned how lucky she was and for Hiruama loved dusx more then ever. That night as they rested in bed Dusx crawled into Sakuras bed like she did when she was younger as she cried hoping to find her father. Sakura pulled her closely  as  she spoke as calmly as she  could.
   " Daddy is  in a better place now baby. You know baby He loved you with all his heart," she told Dusx as they began to cry till they fell asleep.
   The next morning Sakura rose to find Dusx still asleep. She crawled from her bed not disturbing her as she began to cook for Dusx Earlier then normal. Only a few minutes  later does Dusx walk into the room rubbing her young eyes as she was still half asleep. She looked across the table noticing a third plate was made as she new deep down why but said nothing. Sakura turned as she wiped away her tears hoping Dusx didn't see them as she placed food on dusx's plate.
   Over the next few years Dusx grew soon taking a place at the temple as a priestess in training. Sakura grew as well as her hair turned white over the years. The villagers helped her with obtaining goods and things to live since her loss.  Every night Dusx Would come in to find her mother asleep at the table  as she would cover her and kiss her cheek good night.
    The years passed as Sakura grew into a old women.  Dusx sat at her side as she layed on her bed to sick to move and to tired to eat. Dusx a beautiful maiden now red to her mother to comfort her as she loved her mother. Sakura knowing her time was do so she  let Dusx enjoy her time with her child. Only hour later Dusx thinking her mother had fallen asleep discovers she passed away. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she fell to the side of the bed yelling for her mother to come back.
