Chapter One: Hate

Sesshoumaru Taisho...A God. He was beautiful and talented. He was my idol...The only thing was. I Hated Him!

"Miss Higurashi." His cold voice broke my train of thought. I look up at his golden eyes, and take a sip of my water.

"Yes, Mr. Taisho?" I say in a innocent voice. He glares at me, and points at the other people in the room.

"What are those people doing?" I look at everyone...there strectching, and practicing. Obviously he is wondering, why I am just standind by the water cooler.

"Um...I Give Up!" I smile at him. I can see he is getting mad. I Laugh and walk over to my best friend...Sango. I start to strech.

"You know Kagome, you shouldn't make him hate you. He could kick you out of his class." I look at her and smile. He could, but I know he won't...I'm one of the best dancers here. Of course he has never seen me dance. I took the summer class, and that's how I met him. But he wasn't my teacher so he never actually saw me dance.

"Okay Sango, I'll try." I give her my famous puppy dog promise face. She pushes me and streches more. I do the spilts and touch my head to my knee. I'm so glad I was in gymnastics as a kid.

"Good Morning Class." Everyone looks at Sesshoumaru. I roll my eyes..there are about fifteen girls in here that are all gah-gah over that ice prick. There are 34 students in this class. 17 girls, 17 boys.

"Today you will get your first dance assignment, partner up with the opposite gender." I watch as everyone scurries to find someone to partner with. I see Inuyasha and walk over to him.

"Hey Yasha! Let's Party!" He waves at me, and smiles.

"Sorry Kags, I'm with Kikyo." I laugh and walk away. Hm. Who am I partnering with? There is one kid in the corner, by himself. I walk over to him.

"Hey, Want to be my partner?" He looks up at me. He has Spiked black hair, with blonde tips, and sweeping bangs that go up to his eyebrows.

"Sure." He stands up next to me, and leans against the wall.

"Okay, I have a list of 17 diffrent dances in this hat. Each pair will pick one. Then in two weeks...you will perform them in front of the class." Everyone nods and waits for fluffy to come around. I love his pointed ears! In fact, a lot of the demons here have pointed ears. It's cute. I look at my partner...He has racoon ears. I wonder what sort of power, they have.

Sesshoumaru comes to us, and I grab and piece of paper. I read it aloud.

"Snow Fairies Lullaby." Everyone looks over at me like i'm a freak. The girls are gasping, the boys are starring.

"What!?" Everyone turns away and starts to talk quietly again. Sesshoumaru smirks and walks away. My partner looks at me and straightens himself.

"Snow Fairies Lullaby...Is one of the hardest dances anyone could do." I gape at him. Sesshoumaru so planned this! I laugh and smile at him.

"Then we'll just have to practice hard!" He smiles and nods.

"Oh, My name is Kagome Higirashi!" I give a peace sign to him and laugh.

"My name is Jesse Hikaru."

"Well nice to meet you!" I shake his hand as the bell rings. I quickly write down my address and number.

"Come to my house at 3:00pm today, we'll start to practice. He nods, then grabs his stuff and leaves. I walk over to my duffle bag and start packing all of my stuff into it.

"Hey Kagome! Want to get some lunch with us. Were going downtown." I shake my head no.

"I have to pick up Souta from school." She nods and walks away with Miroku. Inuyasha and Kikyo follow after them. I pull out my MP3 and turn on my music. I love the dance studio when everyone leaves. That's when I practice. I scroll through my songs, and choose Fer Sure By:The Medic Droid. I do a handstand to stretch my muscles. I walk on my hands around the dance studio. I get back up and start to roll my hips.

"Were not falling in love where just falling apart!" I sing along with the chorus, and jump around the room. I walk to the corner of the room, and breathe. Time to try some gymnastics. I run towards the center and do a front hand spring, round-up back tuck. I stick it perfectly and smile. I still got it. A couple songs later, and I am tired! I look at my cell phone and read the time. It reads 1:46pm. Oh SHIT! I'm late. I pack everything into my duffle bag and run out the door. Sorry Souta don't be mad!

I arrive at his school 15 minutes later, and he is glarring at me.

"Sorry! I was dancing." We start to walk, he glares at me the whole way...I scratch the back of my neck and keep saying sorry.

"Kagome, I would understand if this was the first time, but this is the 32nd time." I laugh nervousily...He has a point.

"I'm sorry, i'll make it up to you. Let's get some ice cream!" Suddenly he perks up and smiles.

"Yeah! Okay!" We stop at the ice cream stand and get two huge cones! I just love Chocolate Mint! Yummy!

"Okay, Your Forgiven." I smile as we head home.

When we arrive my mom swarms us and sucks the life out of our bodies.

"Where where you! I was so scared. What took You so long?!" She kept going and going...none stop questions.

"Mom! Were sorry." She inhales, and takes a deep breathe.

"So why were you late?"

"The tooth fairy came and kidnapped us, so we had to fight off a army of giant teeth! Than when we finally escaped we went out for ice cream...and then came home." I smile as she glares at me.

"Kagome." She says in her 'tell me the truth' voice.

"I was...dancing." She huffs.

"Souta go inside and get cleaned up for lunch." Souta nods and skips inside. Something tells me this isn't going to be good.

"Kagome dear, I know you like dancing...but" Oh man...hear it goes...the punishment. What is it this time, no cell phone, television...

"But, you are going to quit dancing." My eyes widden. Quit dancing! That's like asking Hitler to stop hating Jews! Like telling Santa to stop giving little children presents. Like telling Cupid to quit helping people find love. IT CAN'T BE DONE!

"Mom...That isn't fair! Dancing is my life." She shushes me. Her eyes have a stern look in them.

"Not another word. No more dance school. You are too destracted. Your grades are average, and you need to become more responsible."

"No."

"What was that?"

"I won't quit dancing! It's my passion! My World! MY LIFE!" I've decided...I am 19 years old, i will not give up something I love. No matter what.

"As long as you live under my roof, you will obey my rules!" Her face is red. She is pissed.

"Go to your room! When your Dad get's home, we'll settle this!" I storm off, this isn't fair. Why should I have to quit something I love! Dad will understand my passion for dancing. He just has to! Why does mom have to act like this! If I have a passion for something, why can't I do it! It's like clipping off a birds wings and telling them not to fly.

I lay on my bed, and look up at my ceiling...The wallpaper is peeling. This house is so old. The wall paper has been there for about 50 years. Mom says it's going to be replaced...but that hasn't happened. That stupid peeling corner...it annoys me. I stand up on my bed and reach for it.

"Got it!" I start to peel it, but Souta opens my door.

"Kagome, dad's home." I sigh and let go of it. I'll do it later. I jump off my bed and walk downstairs.

I find everyone in the dining room. Dad is sitting at the end of the table, mom is bringing food to the table. Souta is playing with the cat.

"Hi dad!" I walk up to him, and give him a great big kiss on his cheek. He smiles at me.

"What do you want?" My mom looks at me.

"Daddy, Mom says I have to quit dancing, but dancing is my passion...my world..my escape! Tell her. Tell her that I need to keep dancing!" He looks from me to my mom.

"Honey, why does she have to quit?" My mom puts the last dish on the table then sits down.

"Her grades are failing, she has become irrisponsible. She needs to start focusing. She is a freshman in colledge, on a scholarship. She can't afford to mess up." Dad looks at the food and starts to eat.

"Well Dad! Tell her I can't hold myself back." He wipes his mouth with a napkin and looks at me.

"Kagome, Your mom...is right. If she wants you to quit, you have to. School comes first" I stand up knocking my bowl of soup over.

"That's not fair! I won't give up something I love!" He stands up.

"ENOUGH!" I gulp. My dad never raises his voice unless he's really mad.

"Dad, please understand...I can't give up something that I have such a passion for." He glares at me.

"Kagome...No more dancing." He sits back down. My mom sits at the other end. Souta is still playing with the cat. Why doesn't anyone understand how I feel. I run upstairs. I slam my door shut, and punch the wall.

"This isn't fair!" I grab a pillow and scream into it. I fall onto my bed. Once again, I find myself starring at the ceiling, and once again...I stare at the peeling wall paper.

"Might as well do something." I stand on my bed and grab the edge of the wall paper. I give one good tug...and it falls to the ground. I feel so much better! I look up at the ceiling and find a small door. Like one leading to a attic. I reach for the rusty handle and pull. It opens and a ladder falls down. Looks like this thing hasn't been used in years. Well...ther's no harm in just taking a look.

I climb up the old rope ladder and find myself in a brightly lite room. There are boxes in one corner, and a piano in the other one. Lot's of old pictures. I pull up the ladder and close the door. No use in letting them know where I am. I walk over to the piano and press a key. It makes a quiet sound. Still works.

I wonder who knew about this place. It must be old. I don't think mom knows about this. A picture on the wall catches my eye. I walk over to it...and blow the dust off. It has a beautifully designed frame and is about the size of a dictonary. What are these words? I rub them and read it.

"Not Even The Gods, Could Stop Her Passion." I smile, even she was kept from something she loved.

I study the picture of the girl. Oh My God! She looks like me! She has on a pink and white kimono with cherry blossoms on it. There is a name at the bottom, Kagome. She even has the same Name!? No way!

Whoosh

"Ah!" A spider drops down from the ceiling. It surprises me...I accidently drop the picture. Crap!

"Oh man. This is probley antique." I start picking up the glass pieces...I pick up her picture...and notice a book...or maybe a diary. The cover is old and worn...A dark brown color. There is a inscripten on the front cover. It reads...

Kagome Higurashi: Lady of the North

What!? My Grandma...No Way!

I hear a voice.

"Honey, I'm going to go check on Kagome." Oh crap! My mom is coming. I grab the diary and push open the latch...the ladder falls down and i climb down. I hear footsteps and quickly stuff the ladder back up. I grab the wall paper from the ground and lick it. Hopefully it'll stay! I push it on the ceiling and quickly get down.

Knock Knock.

I hide the diary under my pillow and sit against my wall.

"Come in." My mom walks in and sits at the end of my bed.

"Kagome...We only want what's best for you. You knwo that right?"

"Then let me dance!" She looks at me with sympathique eyes.

"Kagome..."

"Please mom! It means the world to me!"

"Kagome...I'll make you a deal.If you try to bring up your grades. I will let you dance" I smile!

"Thank you mom!" I hug her. She smiles and walks out of my room. All I need to do is study. I remeber the diary and grab it. Maybe I will understand my grandma better...If i read about her. I flip open to the first page.

June 15

The war with the demons is getting worse. They are much stronger, and heal faster than us Miko's.

They have been growing in numbers each day. Our army cannot hold on much longer. We might loose

this war. I still do not understand why the North and West must have constant battle. I hate to see so

much death...so much blood. There leader...Is all powerful. His name is Sesshoumaru Taisho. He is

fearless. But he is also cold. It has been said, no one has ever seen him smile before. How can a

person live without joy? I must figure him out.

Sesshoumaru! Why is he in the diary...maybe it's not him...maybe it's his grandfather. I must ask him. This is important! But for now..I need to practice the dance with Jesse.

Jesse and I search the web for step-by-step direction on the dance.

"Click that one" he points to a youtube video.

"Good idea...If we see someone do it. We can learn it better!" He nods as we watch the video. The dance is trully hard...lots of flips, and lifts...but the hardest thing we'll have to work on is the chemistry. We have to know each other. We have to, understand each other's feelings.

"Okay! Let's start!" We walk downstairs to my finished basement.

"Whoa! Nice basement. I like the hard wood floors and huge sound system!" I laugh and smile.

"We'll practice here." I stand on the hard wood dance floor.

"Which part?" He asks.

"Um...Let's try the lifts. Your taller than me...so in this basement. It may be hard." He laughs and takes his postion to the side of me. I turn on some music and we start.

Jesse starts by grabbing me by the waist. I trail my hand up his leg. Face incehs apart. He turns me outwards, and brings me back.

"Ready?" I nod as he twirls me again and lifts me up over his head. I stretch my hand forwards as in reaching for something and bring the other one towards my chest. My left leg stays straight but my righ tone curls towards my head. I look towards the ceiling. Jesse does the splits and holds me still. That was amazing!

He puts me down.

"Jesse! That was amazing! Unbelievable. Spectacular. Who knew you could dance." I pat him on the back. He just blushes...aw. How sweet!

We walk back upstairs. Jesse has to leave...it's already 5pm!

"See you at dance class!" He smiles and waves.

"Yeah! See ya!" I walk back inside. My mom is washing dishes. I am still curious to know about my grandma.

"Mom."

"Yes dear." She is drying a plate.

"Who was Kagome Higurashi: Lady Of The North?" The plate drops and breaks.

"Where did you hear that name?" She starts to pick up little pieces.

"I found it in a book. At the library." I lie.

"Honey...When your 20, you'll know."

"Why!? Why 20! Ever since I was little...everyone told me you'll know when your 20." She puts all the pieces in to a paper towel..then throws it away.

"Honey..Please just wait. Your birthday is in one week. Just wait." I bow my head. There is something there not telling me. The diary might have some imformation. I run upstairs and grab the diary from underneath my pillow. I read the second entry...

June 25

The war has settled a bit. The demons are frantic. There genral has gone missing.

I am walking in the forest of souls. It is quiet. I enjoy this time by myself. It gives

me time to think. I come upon a hot spring... it is most beautiful...

I wish I could be there...I want to see this.

A bright pink light covers me. I close my eyes. When I open them..i'm in the place my grandma decribed. I look in the clearing. My grandma walks through...Just as she said. I can hear her thoughts.

Why is there a man against the tree. Is he asleep? No! He is hurt.

My grandma runs over to the man...His eyes are closed. He has straight silver hair..that goes down to his lower back. A crescent moon adorns his forhead, along with two crimson strips on the side of his face. He is...Sesshoumaru.

I know who it is. The genral of the demon army. I must not help him...I could end the war right now...But I cannot. He may be demon, but I am not a killer.

Grandma starts healing his wounds. He is still knocked out. I wonder if he can sense my grandmas pressence.

I am almost done...His wounds will be fine, when he wakes up. I brush myself off

and start to gather my stuff. I know he will hate me. He is known to hate humans.

But maybe, just maybe...he will thank me. I leave a note on his chest. It reads...

'I am Sorry for helping you, But it is in my nature. Demon or man. You are still a living soul'

I smile. Even though my grandma was in a war witht he enemy, and could've finished him off right there and then. She didn't She helped him. My grandma was a true miko. She has a heart of gold. The same pink light engulfs me..I am back in my room.

"Whoa! How long have I been gone." I read the clock... time hasn't changed...It's like I never left.

"Sweet!" I laugh and close my eyes...It's time for bed. But still I can't help but question..

What Was My grandmas Connection to Sesshoumaru?
