Her father has decided to marry her off to Naraku Hashimoto in hopes of a company merge, and now someone is trying to steal the Jewel she protects? Welcome to Kagome Higurashi's life.
In Control
By Lyllithe
Prologue
A man sat in a hazy smoke-filled room, leisurely enjoying a single malt and taking drags from a Montecristo no. 2. A light knock sounded as someone rapped on oak double doors.
"Come in."
A young woman in a white business skirt-suit and blazer entered the room and walked over to the desk where the man was seated. She placed a dark blue folder on the table before him.
"Sir, it's done."
"Have you confirmed with Ishikawa himself?"
"Yes. All preparations are in place. His men are ready to be mobilized at any time."
The man paused for a moment, exhaling thick smoke rings. He smirked. "Excellent work, Matsumoto. Tell Ishikawa to initiate the plan by the end of the week. Meanwhile, I want you to contact Juuroumaru and Kageroumaru."
"What orders should I give them?"
"Let them know it's time to start collecting information from our source at the agency. We need the target to think they're dealing with a serious threat. There can be no mistakes during the initial phase."
"Understood, sir." The woman left the room, closing the door with a little click.
Opening the folder, the man began sifting through its contents. Finally, his gaze rested on a printout of a girl's profile. "Ah, yes," he crooned, "I have finally found you." Red eyes focused on the girl. Kagome Higurashi, age 17, Shoto, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo Prefecture. Chuckling to himself, Naraku took the cigar from his lips and pressed the end onto the photograph, igniting it.
The Shikon no Tama will be mine.
Author's Note: Feedback would be greatly appreciated! I'm not a hundred percent set on what direction this story is going to go, but if you have comments on the prologue I'd love to hear them. Also, I realize the prologue was extremely short – chapters from now on will be longer. Thanks for reading! :)
