A/N: I know I've stopped with A Mirrors Reflection but I thought up a new story and I figured because AMR doesn't seem to be going well, I might as well start a new fic to see how this one goes so those of you waiting for AMR to continue, It may be awhile. Thanks for understanding!
Also, Heads up, I do NOT care what you review my story, I know my spelling and capitalizations as well as my punctuations aren't right so if you find that annoying and you don't like it, Go jump off a cliff :) because I simply don't care ^_^
Character introductions: (Suggestion) You don't have to read them, but it introduces you to who and what is going on. So if you decide not to read them, and later on in the story you come across something that doesn't make any sense then don't blame me because I've warned you :P.

Chapter 1: Realization
A summer's night breeze, gustling across her ebony black tresses, sighing to herself that the days job is now done and it's time for her to retire at her oh so loving home. She snuck a quick peek at her demon hunters watch and looked on the map to see any signs of physical movement, sighing again with a relieved look on her beautiful sculptured face, her blue eyes darted upwards to the beautiful view of the starry night sky. She wondered how many stars their were whilst continuing her walk home from her long day's work of killing demons. '20 down today, But tomorrow is another...' She stopped her thoughts as she heard a low beep, Kagome's big blue eyes widend and she took another peek at her watch. With one look, She knew it'd make the count 21. She stopped dead in her tracks and put her hands in her back pant pocket reaching for the deadly pocket knife she had just killed 20 with, 'Now 21' she thought bitterly. She hated this job. She hated her father for making her mother pregnant with her first, She would rather be at home studying for tomorrows test. Big blue pools widening even further, She had a test tomorrow! And she forgot all about it! 'The oh so complicated life of Kagome Higurashi...' She thought bitterly as the beeping got louder. She noticed on the map the little navigator had shown the dot indicating a Yokai nearby had stopped. Her breath hitched in her throat and her heart beat increased. Yeah this may be a job she hated with a passion, but when a Yokai comes close to her, her blood rises and she starts freaking out, although killing a demon is very wrong, she finds it to be really exallerating. She looked over her shoulder when she heard a 'Crack'. But she came face to face with nothing but the summer nights breeze. She sighed for probably the 15th time today. 'You gotta relax Kag, It's been a stressful day and you just need to go home and get some shut eye...' With that last thought, she turned back on her heel to focus on getting back home. That is until a rag covered hand was over her mouth and she felt nothing but the air being sucked out of her lungs.

A beautiful brunette girl had walked into the university gates the next morning with a happy smile on her face, Searching the croud for her raven haired best friend, she sighed when she couldn't find her, she turned around and came face to face with Ayame Aka, the girl she called a 'close friend' but not close enough.
"Good morning Ayame" The brunette greeted happily but then her face faulted.
"Have you seen Kagome anywhere?" She asked almost pleading. The red head looked at her curiously before greeting her friend with a shrug and a pleasant smile.
"Good morning Sango! And nope, I haven't seen her, Sorry." Sango only nodded her head and slagged her shoulders before pulling out her cellphone to start typing a message to the missing raven haired girl. Satisfied with her long message, she pressed the send button and happily put her phone back in her pocket while retreating to her class trying to catch up to the red head bubbly girl with a lonely feeling.
'Today's going to be a long day'

A soft knock on a wooden door signaled the man in an office chair looking out his big window viewing the city to turn his whole body around, including his chair and shout ever so lightly,
"Come in" The man ushered, propping his elbows on the desk and lacing his fingers together. A little green toad man hobbled in and the man in the chair looked very annoyed at the sudden interuption.
"What is it Jaken?" He asked quite irritated. The green toad formally known as Jaken took a step forward and bowed his head to the man infront of him.
"Me lord, I have word about the mission." He croaked out. The man raised a delecate brow at Jaken before him.
"Go on..." He pushed.
"The mission was a success me lord." He croaked out again this time looking up at the man before him. He seemed to have relaxed and let out a sigh. "What do you want me to do with her me lord?" He asked the man before him. The man in the office chair thought for a second then answered the annoying green toad.
"Tell me where you have put her Jaken"
Jaken hesitated a moment before answering,
"She is right out front of your office me lord, we did not know where to put her so we came for your approval first." Jaken seemed to back he's foot steps near the door. He seemed to be afraid of the man before him. Maybe just afraid of his wrath. The man seated in the chair swirled his chair around to face the giant window again, watching the little people he despised so much walk past his building with happy go lucky smiles on their faces.
"Take her to the dungeon and lock her up. I shall visit her soon enough. That is all Jaken, you may leave."
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru..." And with that last croak, he vanished from the room with a 'Click' sound from the door signaling the man named Sesshomaru that the little annoying green toad had finally left his pressence.
He continued to watch the passerbys walk by as if they owned the place, "Filthy vermin" he spat venimesly before rising to his feet and proceeding to the door that led outside his office.

Feeling a light buzz from her back pocket, rousing her from her sleep, she opened her eyes then closed them again. The room was dark and her head felt dizzy, she woke up feeling like she'd had a massive hang over just the night before. Blinking several times trying to adjust her eyes to the seeping dark room, she took in her surroundings and gasped silently, she was locked up. Still feeling alittle woozy, she tried to stand but ended up falling back down by an unknown weight. She wriggled her hands and realized she couldn't move her wrists. She turned her head and narrowed her blue pools at the object stopping her. She seemed to be tied around a pole. She sighed and tried to wriggle free for another 5 minutes. Realizing she wasn't going anywhere, she ought to try another approach.
"Hello? Is anybody there?" She asked the silent room. All she got was the laughing winds. Starting to get irritated, she almost yelled.
"Hello!? Can anybody hear me!?" A faint banging noise was heard from the otherside of the caged door and a guard seemed to have popped his head in.
"Keep down girl or you'll be dead before midnight" The guard hissed at her as he retreated back to his original position. Kagome sighed. How did she get in here? She went back to the previous nights events and scrolled through them with her brain. She remembers walking home from her hunting day and then someone grabbed her with a ragged hand and... Realization hit her like a tone of bricks. "Someone ragged me?" She whispered to herself before looking up at the door and noticing she had a visitor. She narrowed her eyes to get a better veiw of the man who stood idly in the shadows.
"Yes" Is all the man spoke. His voice was like a beat to the perfect Rythym, though he sounded cold and brutal. Kagome took in a shakey breath and watched the figure emerge from the shadows. The little light seeping through her window shined on his perfect face, revealing beautiful purple stripes on his well looked after face, long silver hair swaying with the winds lushes and... A cresent moon on his forhead? Her blue pools widened in surprise, shock and fear, her face draining from its natural creamy colour to become a pure white.
"Sesshomaru.." She breathed. Then she blacked out
X-X-X
Sango was getting worried, not only has the raven haired not replied to her text, but she hasn't even shown up at school at all! She knows Kagome too well, especially if a school test was on today, the brainy raven haired woman would not miss it in a life time. She started to panic and rose from her seat where she sat for lunch and looked nervously around the room for any signs of Aka. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw her red headed friend talking with other people who she didn't care for right now. She began her march up to Ayame avoiding the whistles and taunts she got off males around her. Just when she was about to reach out for her, A boy dressed in purple with a boyish grin plastered on his handsome face stumbled infront of her, preventing her from reaching her destination. With a roll of the eyes and a flick of the hair, crossing her arms over her chest while eyeing his crazy wondering hands, she managed to hiss out a "What do you want Houshi?"
With a fake pained expression, Miroku looked up to meet Sango's intent yet burning gaze and flinched. Maybe now was not the time to ask her to bare his children, instead he chose the safe side for once and took a step forward, watching her step back, he put a hand on her shoulder to calm her nervs.
"Sango? What's wrong?" He asked, worry clearly written all over his face and the tone of his voice ached for an explanation. She sighed and thought about it. 'Maybe Houshi might know something about it...' She looked at him nervously before staring at him straight in the eyes. Brown pools melted with jet black ones. With a deep breath she let her voice guide her thoughts. "Kagome is missing, She hasn't answered my messages back and she hasn't showed up at school at all today! She never misses a test. Do you know anything about this Houshi?" She eyed him suspicously. When she saw him shake his head, she sighed again and was about to walk away when Miroku's voice stopped her.
"Maybe the Demongedan..." He whispered. Sango's eyes widened with fear, If the Demongedan really did capture Kagome...
"What about my brothers gang?" A man piped into the conversation. Sango stepped a few feet back away from him, she knew him... He was the hanyou everyone talked about, but what he said brought her courage to step forward again and pipe up. "Inu..Yasha is it?" She asked, not sure if it's her place to ask questions or to just run away there and then. The affirmentioned hanyou responded with a mummbled grunt sounding almost like a "Yeah, who wants to know?" but Sango shrugged it off and ignored his question, instead stepping straight to the point.
"Do you know if the Demongedan have a prisoner? Or even a captive? I think they might have captured my best friend.." Her voice trailed off as she watched Inuyasha's facial expression change from a scowl to a look of surprise and fear.
"Your best friend? Do you mean Higurashi? Isn't she a Hunter? She'd kill him if he tried to capture her." He snorted, Losing the expressions and replacing them with a look that no one knew about. Sango eyed him before thinking about what he said then shook her head, "Inuyasha, we're talking about Sesshomaru here, he could kill Kagome! He's the leader of the fricken gang! Not even Atomi could take him down, Sesshomaru is a strong demon and I know for a fact that Kagome..." Her voice suddenly died as fear strickened her face and all the colour drained out of her skin, Inuyasha saw this and was about to ask the brunette what about Kagome until she took a step back and bolted out the lunchroom door. Inuyasha and Miroku gave each other glances before bolting after the strange brunette.
'She can't handle Sesshomaru! She's fucking afraid of him!' Was the brunettes last thought as she bolted to the direction of the biggest building in the city. Not noticing two bodyguards hot on her trail.
X-X-X
Waking up to a pitch black room yet again, Kagome tried to look at her surroundings but all she saw was black. She started to panic, she wriggled her wrists again and figured she was still tied up on the pole. Sesshomaru had freaked her out, he is her nightmare and to see him in person, The leader of Demongedan, made her lose conciousness. Her father had told her one day that she would have to face Sesshomaru, but today was too early! She had only started practicing being a hunter when she turned 18 which was 6 months ago! If her father all his life couldn't even bring Sesshomaru down after 30 odd years of successfull training, What makes anyone think an 18 year old little girl who had only trained for 6 months had a chance? She scoffed at her father's words.
"You are the next heir to take the mark of the hunter's Kagome, You're the oldest sibling of the Higurashi heratidge, you must comply with reason as to why I'm doing this, Demons are bad creatures but the gang leader is the one you must worry about most, 30 years of my life training and I still have yet to scratch Sesshomaru's perfect face. One day, you will rule the hunter's guild and be their queen. You will protect the land from demons. I sense it"
'Ha, The only thing I sense is my stomach wanting to be fed.' She inwardly scoffed. She heard a door creak open then close with a loud 'Bang'. She heard a light flicker on and saw some light seap through but her world was still pitch black, those bastards blind folded her.
"You must be hungry, after fainting on me like that, I'd figured you skipped dinner last night?" A calm yet icey cold voice rang through her head, giving her spine chilling frills. She trembled but voiced her thoughts.
"You don't scare me Sesshomaru." She spat out. She felt a clawed hand run across her cheek then a stinging pain across it afew seconds after, she repositioned her face and held her tears in, trying to ignore the stinging sensation on her left cheek. She then felt a sharp stinging pain run through her leg making her scream out in pain.
"I believe this belongs to you" He said calmly, leaving the now dripping blood red pocket knife ramned into her leg. She couldn't hold those tears in anymore and let them run free.
"I'll be back to check if your dead later, for now, think of those... Gifts as a welcoming present to my humble home." Sesshomaru chuckled darkly and led himself out of the jail-like enclosure and closed the door after. He smelled he had a visitor, Or 3 to be exact.
All Kagome could do was sob her heart out.
"Daddy..." Is all she mannaged to say.
Chapter 1 finished! I hope you all liked it, Can anyone guess who the 3 visitors are?
Please R&R. looking for at least 5 reviews before I do another chapter thanks! :)
