¤ Chapter One ¤

"Mom! Dad! Come back soon please." She bowed in memory to the retreating ebony black carriage and waved fitfully with her faithful servant by her side, but she remembered how she had wanted to run off after that carriage and bring her parents back home to stay, to stay alive…

Kagome Higurashi , the only child of the grand Duke of Avenshire, hadn't slept for days upon days. Ever since her parents had died three weeks before, she hadn't been able to sleep without heavy dosage of drugs from her doctor. When Kagome's parents died they left her with a heavy fortune that she wasn't allowed to receive until she was married, it would be given as a dowry. Without any parents Kagome had no where to go. Her parents were only children and her grandparents had long been deceased. The only living relative left was Kagome's younger orphaned cousin, Rin, who was under the care of her god mother Duchess Bordello after her parents had died when she was only three years old. So without any one person to take her in… Kagome was left without anyone in the world. That was until she met him…

Kagome sat sadly at the grave of her parents. The mounds were recently recovered with dirt and the empty coffins underneath. The wind blew, but she didn't feel anything, with her head bowed and silent. Her mother, brutally murdered, and her fathers body couldn't even be found, but then again most of everything had been burned to a crisp by some thief overrun with avarice. Kagome vowed that she would become the perfect woman like her mother, and be brave like her father was, and get revenge for their death.

There were many people polite and blessed the graves with their silent prayers. Kagome looked around, not one face was familiar, except for the servants. She had no other relatives except a younger cousin. Who would take her in? She was more depressed to know that she wouldn't even be able to remember her parents in love, she would probably be sold off to some brothel for the nobles. She sighed and blessed her parents tombstones once more before she moved into the house along with the family doctor (Juno) who was quite fond of her. Most of the men at the house followed another man in a velvet robe into the grand ballroom where there were a bunch of chairs and sofas laid out. Kagome took her seat on an independent chair while most of the other men sat on the sofas. Except for one who choose to remain standing by the doorway, watching with silent eyes.

Kagome hadn't noticed this man before now. He was tall, and very cruel looking. He had white long hair that flowed with an almost metal look to it with dark amber eyes and strange markings of some tribe on his face. The markings of a demon tribe she realized with a shock. She didn't know why her father and mother knew this man, especially of a demon nature. Usually demon's and other supernatural creatures had more status in the world that she lived in, so why did he come to her parent's funeral?

"Good day Gentlemen and Lady." The man in the robe addressed the crowd of men, "I am here to state the future of the wealth of the Higurashi property and wealth. As the lawyer and trusted employee of both the Higurashi nobles I am induced to state the following…the lands of the Higurashi grounds are hereby left to the highest bidder among the gentlemen presented here today, but we shall get to that in a moment gents. The wealth that will be acquired from these properties will instate the future for the Ms. Previous Higurashi as her dowry. Though Ms. Higurashi you will also be acquitted with a guardian out of these gentlemen here today as well, and he who wishes to have you attend in his life will be made to promise that you shall be married by the age of twenty." There were many murmurs among the men. Kagome was furious that she had no decision in what her future would hold for he, and that this man didn't think she would be able to be married by the age of twenty, but then again most women didn't have the allowance to say much in the older days.

"The house will be sold with the servants and all remaining furniture. Gentlemen, who will start the bidding?" Kagome glared daggers at the men who dared raise their hands for the bidding of her property, the only thing she would have left besides her memories.

The bidding jumped from many of the men. Most of them were white haired and balding. Doubtful that they really needed so much land just for themselves. The bid would jump from the red haired man who was younger, to the older balding black haired man, to a new demon lord in whom Kagome did recognize as her father's stallion supplier.

"Sold to the demon with red hair in the back!" Twenty minutes later the gavel slid down on the desk and the gentlemen murmured with whispers once again, "Now gentlemen, which of you are willing to take care of the young lady." Kagome's head was brought up sharp and quickly.

"Why does she not go live with her relatives?" A fat and bloat of a man stood in another corner where he picked at his teeth. Kagome winced and stood up to speak for herself.

"Thee only living relatives I had have just been brutally murdered and are in those dirt graves outside!" She glared at him while Doctor Juno patted her shoulder quietly and had her calm down. The demon in the back (the one with the white hair) then spoke up for the first time since he appeared.

"I will take the guardianship." Kagome's eyes must have popped out of her head entirely.

"And what would be your reasons milord?" The robed man asked the demon lord.

"I can repay a debt that needs giving." He stated and then the robed man asked, "and your name sir?"

"Prince Sesshourmaru of Tenseiga." And a gasp from everyone else.

Kagome now sat in a slick black carriage drawn by four chestnut colored geldings that pranced along quietly. She leaned her head outside the window to look at the scenery flying by. There were trees, and endless and boundless amount of trees. But these weren't trees like back home, these trees grew with meaning of their lives. They were at least sixty feet tall and the darkest green she had ever seen. When the carriage came out of the dark forest they were surrounded by fields and more fields of endless grass and mountains. Soon enough she could see the approaching castle, although relatively small for a castle, it was still dark and menacing in many ways.

She peered through the window and saw as they approached. The stone walls were covered in vines, and each walled corner was set with the piercing gaze of three gargoyles. The entrance was grand, covered by a velvet red carpet that was under a stone canopy of the walkway to the door. A young boy took the reins of their horses while some servants took the suitcases off the back of the carriage.
