Okay for starters my story isn't exactly like Beauty and the beast, you see it has sort of a difference in a sense, even though it does follow the traditional story with the rose and every thing, it also follows the story of Rin and Sesshomaru.

Under The Oak
Intro
There is no question about it, this is a true tale, it may be an old tale, but a true one it is.
This is the story of my ancestors, and not some grandmother or a cousin twice removed, no, this story is far older than any thing you could imagine (1000 years old to be precise).
I know what your thinking, holly mother of... right? I was just really lucky I guess, lucky that the castle still stood, lucky that the scrolls where still in one piece, lucky that I could even read them!
It all started when my therapist said I should try and find out about my family, you know trace my roots.
So the first step was to Google my name (you can Google any thing these days), the first thing that popped up when I typed Taiyoukai was an old castle, it was on a message board, the people who were taking care of it were trying to find at least one member of the family, since Taiyoukai isn't a very common name I thought, what the hell.
I posted a reply telling them who I was, they were thrilled.
When they messaged me with the address and an invitation to stay for the week end, I was on the road the very next day.
After four hours of driving I finally made it to the Taiyoukai castle.
The Tamagi's were very kind to me (the care takers), they gave me a tour of the castle and showed me the many portraits of my ancestors (unfortunately I look like most of the Males or the family) and that is also how I found out the age of the castle (over 1500 years old).
Old Mr.Tamagi claims that the original lord protects the castle, quote 'The great Lord Inutaisho protects this castle and his children for he built it so his children could watched over properly and be protected, while you're here my dear nothing shall happen to you' , glad to hear.
After the grand tour Mrs. Tamagi showed me to the room I would be staying in, I was floored to find out I was staying in the master bedroom.
It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, for a room at least.
When I was settled in I decided to snoop around a little, as I scurried about I tripped on some thing, when I looked down I realized that it was a floor board, that damned rolling suit case must have knocked it out of place I thought bitterly.
When I looked in the hole there was a box, I quickly snatched it up and jumped on the bed.
When I open the box to my surprise, 'scrolls...' I had muttered.
I decided to open the first one up, just for a quick peek, then I would entrust it to the Tamagi's for safe keeping.
I delicately open the scroll, to my surprise it was a story!
The story started like this, 'The first time she met him she was only a girl of eight, starving and alone he came and saved...he came and saved me from the evil of the forest, little did I know at the time that I would be thrown in the center of this man's life...
Yes the intro is done!
