Prologue

The sun was bright, rays of warmth descended upon the raven haired girl as she bathed in the warmth, her eyes closed.

"Kagome!" A woman was waving her hand in the distance. The girl in question stood up and ran after her.

"Kagome! Come here!" She was but every step she took her mother seemed to drift further away.

"Why are you running away? Say Hello to your mommy!"

"You're the one who's running away! Mom, please!" A quick picture of her mother crying what seemed like ink:

"Take care of your father for me" Then reverted back to normal. Kagome turned around to see her parents holding Sota; she felt an unusual feeling in the pit of her stomach seeing her family all together. Sota urged her to hurry: Come! He'd squeal. Kagome slowed her pace, almost at ease, at peace with herself.

Every step was a step towards a normal life, a happier life. Her mother would tell her everything about boys her age, how stupid and mean they could be, her father would encourage her to what's best, and her brother would grow like a weed and annoy her at every chance. They would fight, they would laugh, and they would love. They would be normal.

A breadth away, within reaching distance of it, she could smell the sweetness, about to be embraced.

"You'll never have it" A voice whispered fervently.

"That's what you think girly" Ink clack eyes laughed mockingly "That's what you think!" She woke suddenly, eyes opening abruptly. 'Every day, why can't I ever have a nice dream?' She thought as she headed downstairs. Voices raised slightly, some slurred. Men were barking at some joke. But one voice sang out to her.

"When will she get it? She got no choice in the s'tuation" The drunk man laughed as every other bulky man in the room stunk the air with apprehension and fear, she could smell it. Everyone in the room was staring at the girl the man was talking so freely about.

Pale blue eyes pierced the speaker in a sharp manner.

"Who are you?" She questioned calmly. As The Idiot turned around to find the object of his speech behind him was right behind him. He paled. He was dead quiet.

" I said: who are you?" her voice gave nothing away. His eyes widened.

"H-h-hi-Hitaki Kugaru" He answered uncertainly. She gave him an analytical look and smiled at his baffles. Smiling wasn't good.

"And who am I Kugaru?" Her voice raised a little more, as men started nudging each other.

"Kagome Higurashi…" He paused, but seeing as she was waiting for him to finish he added "heir of-" He couldn't get to finish what he said, he was already lifted by his throat by this, compared to him, frail little girl. She stood nonplussed.

"At least you know that, and now the only question is, should I cut off your fingers before I kill you or get it over with right away?" She leaned in toward the blue man" What do you think?" She added in a whisper, her eyes...

"Kagome?" a small voice cut through the choking. Kagome immediately let go of the man who fell unceremoniously, she was perfectly back to normal. She walked towards the boy ignoring the unconscious man behind her, she picked him up gently.

"What are you doing out of bed? I thought I tucked you in, it's way past your bed time" She whispered sternly, the little boy's eyes watered.

"I'm scared wifout you" She sighed. She went for the door and before leaving she gave a sharp glance around the room, as if daring anyone to say anything, they didn't. She couldn't resist adding:

"He was extremely lucky…this time" And with that she left the room.

"What am I going to do with you?" She asked softly. "You're almost four years old now, you should be sleeping by yourself" She said more for herself than she did for him. They were going up the stairs and across the absurdly long hallway when a big man came behind her, shadow threatingly covering both of them.

"Miss Kagome" The man's deep voice made Sota hide his head away in his sister's shoulder. She sighed again, turned around sharply to look at the man, giving him a look that clearly said: ' it better be good'.

"Yes? What is it?" Her voice like knives.

"I'm sorry for bothering-"

"You better be" She interrupted, waited for him to continue, sighed impatiently: "Continue" She snapped irritated.

"Your father wants to see you" She tensed, becoming slightly rigid.

"For what?" She asked

"He didn't say but he wants Sota" looking at the boy in disdain "present" The girl instinctively adjusted her arms around him, and tucked him to avoid seeing the gaze of the man. She sighed again with annoyance but this time it was to hide the small flip flops her stomach always did when her father was even mentioned.

"Alright, you are dismissed" She said as if to an obedient pupil.

The house creaked under her feet as she walked towards her father's "work room", screams becoming clearer with every agonizingly slow step she took towards her destination.

"Kagome? What's that noise?" asked the little trembling boy. "Did I do something wrong? I don't disturb Daddy no more, I prwomise" Kagome rubbed his back reassuringly.

"I know, it is okay, don't say anything, remember? I'll talk for you now"

"Okay" His Eyes big and watery. She adjusted her arms round him and made sure his head was in her shoulders eyes looking at her neck before knocking. The screaming resided to panting and moans of pain.

"Who is it?" A gruff voice with a tint of annoyance at being interrupted, or by something else, responded.

"Father" Was all she said. There was a quiet "put in the basement, and get someone to clean p this mess right away". The door opened suddenly as two men who smiled in her direction dragged a bloody man out, leaving a trail of behind in their wake.

"Did you need anything father?" Her voice was carefully monotone to the utmost degree. "We were heading off to bed" she said unflinchingly, the man sitting behind the desk raised his eyebrows, and looked at the clock; it read 6:47 p.m. She gently put Sota down.

"I had an early start and a late finish" She continued with indifference. "I-"

I am not interested in the least about the unaffecting activities of the day" He said with an indifference that surpassed hers. The itch to scream 'Go fuck yourself you old shit' was quickly repressed; she restrained herself with ease, and practice. He looked at her with those same pale blue eyes she had inherited and smiled. Not once blinking and gaze unfaltering, never leaving his daughter.

"Come here Sota" malicious intent was written all over his voice. Sota hesitated but when his father's eyes grew wide with anger, he looked at Kagome then slowly made his way to his father's unforgiving embrace, he held the boy. Tightly.

"So" His eyes never wandering from Kagome's equally leveled one as he stroked his son's hair. "Have you been keeping up with your training?"

"Yes"

"Liar" He pulled on the boy's hair as the small child gave a small yelp of pain and surprise."Don't test my patience tonight, I have none" Sota's eyes were wide, he was deadly quiet, but he stared at the fingers on his father's desk, he was like a dear in the headlights.

"Fine then, no I haven't" She said curtly. The blunt truth seemed to aggravate him further.

"Get out of my sight, you disgust me, you're dirtying me with your selfishness" He seethed. The boy ran towards Kagome, getting hold of her pant leg with an iron grip and hiding behind her.

"My patience is running thin on this matter my little one" Naraku whispered softly." You are dismissed" he turned his back to them and then as she went to open the door he added, almost delighted:

"Oh and there's a riot tomorrow, we suspect they had a dealing in your mother's…" He trailed off "Your presence is mandatory" Then her eyes, they…changed.
