ch.1

there was a time when two families were against eachother because of a family fued. it has been going on from generation to generation. the takahashis and the higurashis. they used to be friends a long time ago but stopped when they found out the takahashis jewels, money and possessions were stolen. the prince of the lands blamed the higurashis for their extreme wealth and good behaviors. he was jealous. the takahashis and the higurashis were no longer friends. now here to tell the story of how it all came to an end...

a man was in his room laying in his bed. he got up early in the morning to look outside his balcony that was in the front of his house. his house was four stories tall, had 8 bedrooms and 61/2 baths. they had a ballroom in the entrance. the kitchen was only for maids, servants, and cooks. they had a safe of their worldly possessions hidden underground in the backyard.

the man saw men wearing the takahashi uniform walking past his house.

"DAMN THOSE IGNORANT TAKAHASHIS! THEY THINK THEY'RE ALL THAT COMIN INTO MY HOUSE!"

"umm... to be fair honey, they were servants going in front of our house and only getting food from the market thats beside our garden"

"UH.. WELL... THEY STILL HAVE NO RIGHT SHOWING THEIR FACES HERE!!"

the woman sighed and walked out of the room.

the man was lord kenji higurashi. he was a human who was selfish and greedy when it came to the takahashis but loved his family like he should. his wife's maiden name was jun akane and was a princess of a far away land. now, she was formerly known as lady jun higurashi. lady higurashi was a nice, kind, and gentle human being and always wanted her family to be happy.

they also had one daughter. named kagome higurashi. she was about 17 years old and about 5''6. a beautiful young lady and was just as peaceful and gentle as her mother but always stayed obedient to her father. she was an expert at painting, writing, singing, and was a very well behaved citizen. she walked and bowed whenever she was supposed to, and she sat, drank, ate, and spoke perfectly. she learned all of this by non-stop lessons ordered by her father.

she was walking towards the kitchen and sat down for some breakfast.

the maid ran in for the girl's order. she asked "good morning miss higurashi!"

she miled and answered back. "good morning hana. may i ask what is for breakfast today?"

the maid bowed and said "of course you may my lady. today our servants have gone out to fetch some fruit for your side dish. your main dish today can either be hashbrowns or toast."

"if i were to say toast, would it be a bother to make it wheat toast?"

the maid replied "oh no not at all my lady!"

kagome smiled "then, today i would like to have toast."

hana bowed once again. "it shall be done my lady."

"thank you hana" and she stood up and went over to her fathers chambers.

she knocked lightly on the door.

the lord answered "who is there?"

kagome answered. "father, it is me, kagome."

he walked over to the door and opened it to see his daughter bowing to him. "what is it daughter?"

"i have come to inform you that hana is fixing breakfast at this time."

the lord mumbled."good. i shall be down to join you momentarily." and closed the door.

kagome waled back downstairs to the dining room. it was beautiful! the table was incredibly long, long enough to fit a family reunion! and it was in a room two stories tall and had a golden light chandelier on the ceiling.

kagome sat on the side of the end where her father usually sat. right after she sat, her mother and father gracefully entered the room. her mother sat the opposite side of her and her father at the head of the table.

her father started a conversation. "so kagome, i have some news for you."

kagome looked at her father with a straight back. "yes father?"

"i have come to an arrangement to have you be in an arranged marraige with prince koga. we are going to have an engagement party to celebrate your betrothel."

kagome just sat there. still straight back. "father, i wouldnt be upset with this decision, only if i have gotten to meet him before such a decision is made."

her father looked at her." well, i guess that would be fair. you can meet at the ceremony tomorrow. now, i would like you to continue your practices on your behaviors to look disciplined and worthy for the party. hana will take you to the market for some threads for you to look nice in. i want you to look your best tomorrow night."

kagome looked at the servants who brought out their food and replied to her father "yes father, of course i will."

"very good then. we have a lot to talk about. for now, lets eat." and they ate slowly yet perfectly.

the takahashis were not as wealthy but they certainly were not poor. they had a four story house with 7 bedrooms and 51/2 baths. they had no valuables to guard but had their money also in a safe but behind a painting. the kitchen was for everyone and everyone made their own food. the entrance was also a ballroom and the same size too. but the servants bought the food and cleaned the house.

lord takahashi came down and saw a mess in the middle of the kitchen. "ugh, who's mess is this?"

sesshoumaru came down hearing his father yell "sorry dad."

"its fine. but where are our servants?"

lady takahashi walked in "didnt i tell you dear? they all went out to get some food for our breakfast this morning. im sorry i forget to tell you." she had a sweet voice and always had a smile on her face.

the lord smiled at her and hugged her from the side "oh i cant be mad at you." and gave her a small kiss on the cheek and left the room

she giggled and followed him from behind.

lord taisho takahashi was a rich man but not the most powerful man. but dont get me wrong he was indeed powerful. he was a nice man but of course, when the name higurashi was mentioned, he would throw a fighting fit. his wife, lady izayoi hisako, now lady izayoi takahashi, was a beautifil yet confused woman. she wants nothing better than her family to live in peace. but doesnt know if she should take her husband's side against the higurashis or find a way to end this ridiculous fued.

they did have two sons. sesshoumaru was 23, the oldest and was the most strongest and fastest in the family. but he was the type to defend his family title at any cost. he despised the higurashis. he was very tall, about 6"2 and very handsome. he had long white hair, (well, you pretty much know what he looks like.) and was the rightful heir to his families possessions.

and their second son, inuyasha takahashi. he was 19 about 5"9 and was the youngest in the family. he was an adventurer. he climbs mountains and hikes and sneaks out in the middle of the night to midnight parties and blowouts. he wasnt all the way crazy though. he did really respect his parents and had self control when needed it. he was the type of guy who thinks he needs to get out once in awhile.

he was fast asleep in his bed when his brother walked in his room and opened his curtains all the way for the darkness in the room would flicker away.

"hey dude! i had a rough night! i can skip breakfast you know!" inuyasha yelled cranky. sesshoumaru ignored this and walked over to his bed side and sat on it.

"yea yea whatever. hey i came to tell you that father wants us to go to the market today to help the servants on exactly what we want."

inuyasha moaned lazily."dude, c'mon. cant it wait till later?"

"im afraid it cant. father wants us to go now. and besides, you know the servants only work during the mornings. so get up and get moving!" and sesshoumaru ripped off the blankets from inuyashas bed.

inuyasha got up slowly and said "you really like torturing me dont you?"

"yea sure. now lets go." and sesshoumaru walked towards the door. he opened it and walked out. but just before he closed it he said "ill be waiting downstairs. if you dont get up by noon, dad is gonna throw a fit again." and closed the door.

inuyasha sighed, got up and got dressed. he walked towards the main hallway and left the room with his brother.

"man, why cant you do this sesshoumaru? your always up. and you know what i like. why cant you just leave me in bed?"

sesshoumaru laughed. "and miss you whining like a little girl? not a chance."

inuyasha simply replied "hmph" and walked faster towards the servants.
