A/N: Hello! This is my first S&K fan fiction so I don't really know how it will go… hopefully it will be okay… Anyway, please know that I accept constructional criticism, or just things that you people think that I should change to make the story better! One more thing before the story starts… this story is completely AU!
Summary: She is forced to live with two of the richest men in all of Japan. During her stay...secrets are revealed and truths are uncovered. S&K&IN... AU
Memory of You
Prologue
I, Kagome, am an orphan that lived in Sister Maria's Shelter in London, England. Abandoned by my parents since birth, I never knew my birthday or birthplace or last name. All I knew was that I was about 16 years old and is at least half-Japanese.
I was really nothing special; the best word that described me was average" average height, average grades, average weight, average bust… Crossing out the fact that I had blue-gray eyes for my Asian face, I was basically unnoticeable (Though a friend of mine, Emily, insisted that a little bit of makeup and I would look magnificent). I liked it that way. I was content.
I really had hoped that things could've stayed the way they were. I liked living in London; I had friends and family that I cherished. But everything's changed now. It's been seven years since I last lived in England, and I am now what you would call "noticeable". Oh, don't get me wrong, I was still average everything even though it had been seven years…sigh... Iknow,my breasts hasn't grownbit since I turned 17...the only difference was that I now carried the Higurashi last name. Yes, Higurashi as in the Higurashi Shikon Enterprise in Kyoto. Quite a change aye? Instead of Kagome, the orphan, I was now Kagome Higurashi, (bastard) child ofFujikomo Higurashi, Japanese millionaire.
How did I end up like that? It was just that father, realized that after 17 years, the women he raped (it was a European woman, which then would explain the blue-gray eyes of mine) actually gave birth to his child. And so as a Higurashi, he just couldn't spoil the family name by letting one of his children, though illegitimate, live in an orphanage. Thus, in order to protect the family name, he brought me "home", where he already had one son (Souta, younger than me) and a daughter (Kikyou, the older one), both legitimate, fighting over inheritance.
The "home" that my father brought me to was… very …deliberate. At first, my father wasn't really aware of me (though he did sent me to Todai) and my "mother" loathed me. However, my half siblings were quite kind to me, and hence I settled down as comfortable as I can.
I also found something that I really enjoyed doing, business. It was surprisingly entertaining when Kikyou (who looks very much like me, but much more beautiful) showed me around the company and taught me how to manage an enterprise from her experiences. She said that I can be her right hand woman when she becomes president. I could always loose my self in work and forget about the fact that I was stuck living a living a life where no one really loved me. Yet no matter how much I liked my work I thought that I wasn't very proficient.
Apparently, my father didn't agree with me, because after a while, he started to think it was best to have me take over the company (yes, ME) instead of Kikyou or Souta. Though I personally think that Souta wasn't really the type of person who could manage an enterprise and not have it bankrupt within 6 months, Kikyou was a whole different story. She was intelligent, confidant, poised, beautiful, legitimate, and the eldest. So you could just imagine how enraged she was when my father (I called him "father" normally now, after he showed some appreciation in me) told her about the idea. It wasn't even a decision yet at that time!
My father, seeing how selfish she was, decided that Kikyou must not manage the company, and therefore changed his Well permanently, meaning he could not change the successor again unless something happens to me. Pretty risky….
That's when my life changed a whole 360 degrees, nowadays, everyone in the family (including my grandparents, cousins and etc.) despise me. Everyone except father whom is trying to ignore all this. Even though he did rape my real mom, I still think that father is overall a fairly admirable man.
Next week, I am off to Tokyo for a meeting with the Nagashima co. about the joint shopping mall we want to build together in Hokkaido. I heard that the GM there is a very apathetic man, I sure hope that we can get along!

Author's Notes: So… How was it? I tried to make it short so we can get to the real story, but you have to know about Kagome's background in this story or else some of the things that will happen in the following chapters (if you guys want me to continue it) won't make sense. By the way, Kagome wasn't too OOC I hope!
The journal idea came from the fan fiction "Family Disaster", so the author gets full credit! And if you people think that it might be a good enough story to continue, than the next chapter should be up in a week (hopefully), I'm already half-way on that one. Ja ne!
