Light Of The Sohmas'

Cure 1: The Main House

Kagome furrowed her eyebrows as she looked at the huge place, 'So this is the main house eh? Not so shabby.' She nodded as she walked in after her father. Kagome, last week became fourteen. This means that she get to spend time with her dad.

She was a bit of a tomboy wearing a long overall and shorts sleeve, blue Adidas shirt. Her hair was braided and placed on her right shoulder. She wore a navy blue hat with a cursive black K on the top.

As she walked in, her eyes widen at the place. Lots and lots of Japanese-modeled houses, was the first thing she noticed. "Kagome, come on now, gaping is very rude." She shut her mouth and angrily glared at her father playfully.

He ruffled her braided hair playfully, "Ah, is my little girl embarrassed?" He asked as they continued to where ever he was taking them.

Her father is a tall man. He had the same hair as her, and he even kept it long. It was as long as her that reached towards past his waist. He kept it loosely hanging down his back. His eyes were cobalt blue while hers is sapphire-like eyes.

"Yeah right, the only thing that's embarrassing is last year where you-"She cut herself off remembering the moment. It was gross, disgusting, and most of all humiliating, "Never mind." She said quickly. Her father burst out laughing, it seems he remembered.

"Say dad, the Sohma's live here right?" He gave her a "Mhmm." "Then, why are we here?" She asked curiously AND suspiciously.

Her father seems to tense when he heard Kagome ask. "Well . . ." He turned around and smiled at her, "It's something your going to be pissed about." He said slowly.

Her eyes furrowed, "Uh-huh, and why?" He's acting more suspicious. When her father started to laugh a little, she notice something behind him. It was a window with a boy in there. As she tilted to look, she saw the boy staring at her.

The boy wore a kimono, which almost show his whole upper body. His hair was placed in front of him and his eyes are violet. 'Interesting color.' She thought. Suddenly, she smiled and the boy just stepped back and left the window sight.

"Uh, what are you looking at?" Kagome looked up at her father as he tried to see where her eyes are concentrated on.

"Nothing." She said.

"Hey! Utsuri!" Kagome and her father turned around to see a man with a grey kimono. Kagome's lips twitch. There's something about that man that's making her feel uncomfortable. He had short black hair and dark coal black eyes.

As he reached us, her mouth dropped open when her father and him embraced each other, "Oh Utsuri, how long has it been?" The man asked dramatically.

"Oh, Shigure, how I missed you."

"Oh Utsuri, even if we haven't seen each other in so long, our friendship will never break."

"Our bond is like the endless sea." Said her father.

They tapped each others hand and Kagome mouth gaped open when they had stars in their eyes, "Utsuri."

"Shigure." That's it! 'This is getting too intense for me.'

"What are you people? Gay?" She asked stepping away from them. That's when that man finally saw her. When he turned to her, a smiled plastered on his face. As he grasped her hand, he asked, "What a beautiful girl, what is your name?"

She took her hand out of the way and ran behind her dad, "Sick hentai," she muttered.

Utusri, her father chuckled at this. Shirgure had tears in his eyes. "Utsuri, mind introducing?"

Her father smiled at the man, "Shigure," she looked up as her father stepped away. "This is my daughter, Kagome Higurashi." Her eyes furrowed when the man known as Shirgure tensed up and his face became more serious.

"Kagome-chan . . ." She heard him whispered as he stared at her. She stared at him and tilted her head a bit, "Uh . . .Hello?" she took out her hand to be polite.

He seems to be out of his stupor as he grinned. Taking her hand, he kissed the back of it. Her lips then twitched when his lips were planted on the back of her hand. As he took it away, he looked in her eyes, "So we finally meet."

She blinked curiously, yet suspicious. Her father isn't telling her something. 'Weirdo . . .' She trailed off in her mind.

Her father and that Shigure guy soon led her to an area. They stopped at a shoji door. Kagome took off her sandals and followed her dad in. As he sat down, so did she. She looked around curiously and then the shoji opened again. She was surprised to see that boy earlier at the window. He seated himself in front of Kagome and her father.

"Akito-san." She looked up at her father then back to the boy. The boy looks sick was what she noticed, "This is my daughter, Kagome."

His eyes darted to her and their eyes locked. Kagome then furrowed her eyebrows. That presence, she finally noticed! It was dark around him. Kagome instinctively stood up and backed away, and started panting. "D-dad, why di-did you bring me here?" She asked never taking her eyes off Akito.

Her father's shoulders dropped, "So, I guess you sense it now, Kagome, this the head of the Sohma's, he . . ." Her father seems to gulp and tense, "He is your fiance."

Suddenly, anger started to boil up inside of. This was unexpected so she snapped, "What do you mean fiance?! Dad, if your thinking I'll marry this guy, you got another thing coming! I will not, and repeat, will not agree to this!"

Akito feels it now. Her energy was flaring out of control. "Please Kagome, its fate."

"Fate my butt! Tell me why haven't you discussed it with mom and me! Mom probably doesn't agree with this either!" Her father suddenly stood up and walked in front of her. She gasps as he slapped her.

Her eyes widen as she placed her hand on her left cheek, "D-dad?" She asked in disbelief.

"Kagome, your mother couldn't do anything, even I can't."

"Then who decided?" She asked quietly.

"Your ancestors." She turned to look at Akito, "They decided this when you weren't even born, when your grandfather wasn't even born." He said calmly, "I had no say in this either."

Kagome closed her eyes and forced back her energy. "Tell me, what does the Sohma's got to do with the Higurashis'?" She finally asks.

That's when Akito turned to glare at her. She didn't hold back hers, "They cause the curse."

"What curse?" She growled out.

"The curse of the zodiac animals, and I am the one with the core of the curse. I suffer a short life span. Your ancestor placed this curse upon us in the feudal time. The only way to cure this curse is for us to be wed."

Kagome's eyebrow twitched as he continued, "You are the people who place the curse upon us, and now it's time for YOU to end it." Her eyes lit up and his as well as they did a staring contest.

"And who says I'll follow my ancestor's decision?" She asked with equal tone.

Akito stood up suddenly and walked towards her. He towered over her. She was too defiant to back down, "If you don't follow, then we will make you."

"Like you or any of the Sohmas' could do anything." She said.

"Kagome." She closed her eyes and looked to her father, "You must follow to save the Sohma. We had caused this, we must end it."

She bit the bottom of her lips and turned away from Akito, "Whatever." She replied coldly as she walked pass her father giving him an icy glare. "Remember this Akiko-"

"Akito." Akito said annoyance evidence in his voice.

"Whatever! Just remember this, you and I are enemies." She said closing the shoji door, "And Dad, hurry up, seeing this place sickens me."

After her footsteps were gone, Usturi turned to Akito, "Her powers can heal you, and as the right time comes, her powers can destroy the curse."

Akito nodded and looked away. 'Just remember this . . .' He remembered her saying, 'You and I . . ..' He couldn't help but feel a blush on his face, 'Are enemies . . .'

'She's,' he paused in his mind, 'Beautiful . . .' He remembered her smiling at him from where he was at the window.
