Kagome, her mother, brother and stepfather lived in a very rich castle. Her
real father had died when she was a little girl. Kagome was only 12 years
now, her brother was older than she was and was moving out and fulfilling
his dream of becoming an artist. Kagome often envied her brother, Souta.
She wanted to move out and away from her stepfather too. Souta was all that
kagome had left. He couldn't leave. She loved him. Souta was the only one
that would stick up for her when she needed him. He protected her from her
stepfathers' wrath.
Her stepfather, Hiretsukan, wanted to marry kagome off as soon as possible. He always told her the words she hated the most, 'beautiful girls should be seen not heard.' She absolutely hated her stepfather. Her true and beloved father, Yosaotoko, was a kind and gentle man who always told her that he loved her and truly respected her. Hiretsukan was a Youkai who looked exactly like a human, except for his claws and fangs. He had dark hair like kagome's but it was not a pretty as hers, her brother often said when their stepfather was not around.
Kagome's mother, Yosaon'a, never fended for kagome while Hiretsukan hurt her daughter or ordered her around like a servant. The only thing that Hiretsukan liked about kagome was her beauty, the beautiful she was the more men that would come and seek a marriage off kagome. This made kagome hate him even more.
Kagome helped Souta pack everything he needed while he was gone. She wanted to think he was only going on a trip and was coming back but she knew he would never return. He was going to far away lands to go to a school for young men sculptures out of all Art Souta liked to sculpt and paint the most. The day of his departure he had given kagome a sculpture that could just barely fit in her palm, it was a sculpture of the castle, with kagome standing on the steps up to the grand opening doors, wearing her favorite pink kimono.
Kagome cried and clutched his hand, never wanting to let go. He smiled at her and then whispered, "kagome let free my hand, you know I will always love and never forget you." Kagome stared at him and cried harder. those were the exact words father said before he died. "D-don't go! Who w-will protect me from Hiretsukan?" sobbed kagome.
Exactly 4 years later kagome awoke from her dream of reliving the day Souta left. She got out of bed and put on a baby blue kimono with white lilies and yellow daisies. She slipped out of her chambers and into the corridor, out another door and into the parlor. She sat on the floor close to the warm fireplace. She watched the flames bounce up and down changing colors from red to blue to orange and back to red again, when someone entered the room.
Kagome stiffened her shoulders trying hard not to look at her stepfather as he stood behind her. "What?" she sighed, still not looking at him. "Don't talk to me with your back turned." He sneered. "Fine then I wont talk to you." Said kagome grinning to herself. Hiretsukan slapped her. She turned to face him with a bloody check from where his claws grazed her cheek. "Now then, you'll think twice before speaking to me correct?" he said. "H-hai." Said kagome holding her sore cheek.
"I have found another rich man interested in you, girl." Said Hiretsukan smirking at her. So far kagome had had 12 men come and try to set up a betrothal with kagome and she had purposely played tricks on them and driven them all off. Kagome tried to keep in her sly mischievous grin. "He shall come tonight." He said. "Whatever." Said kagome. "You shall be betrothed and I will be richer than I already am!" he said. Then he left.
"What a somatsu." Said kagome. (It means jerk in Japanese) kagome made her way into the dinning area and seated her self in her normal spot, her mother sat at far end of the table Hiretsukan sat at the other far end and kagome sat in the middle all alone and far away from all. A maid brought kagome some porridge and cinnamon toasted bread. She began to eat very slowly thinking of ways to drive this 'rich man' that she had no Idea about. This man would be the thirteenth man that she would drive away, she thought, 13, bad luck.
The day went by quickly and before kagome new it she was sitting in the great room, (A/n the room that the great front doors open up to.) waiting to meet another cold rich jerk.
The man entered, Hiretsukan welcomed the man, "Welcome, Prince Inuyasha, to my Great castle." He said. "And this is my Lovely daughter, Kagome." He said in fake delightful tone. Since when did he call kagome his daughter? Thought kagome angrily. She stepped forward and curtsied, smiling. Even though she didn't want to. The man was a hanyou with silver hair and golden eyes. He was also a prince as Hiretsukan said. The man called inuyasha smirked at the sight of kagome. Kagome relised her kimono was extremely tight, showing off her curves. Kagome blushed and turn her face away. This is gonna be a tough one, thought kagome.
They ate dinner and her stepfather told Inuyasha of kagome, she was the most beautiful girl in the valley and was obedient and clever and was in perfect health. Inuyasha told Hiretsukan how much he was willing to pay for kagome, as Hiretsukan's eyes bounce at the mention of it.
