Background info

There were two great empires, the top greatest empires in Japan. The Higurashi Empire and, the Takahashi Empire. Naraku was the head of the Higurashi Empire. Sesshomaru was the head of the Takahashi Empire. Naraku was a cold-hearted half demon who only lived of off the power of other people. He bought up other companies and combined them with his own. Sesshomaru on the other hand was cold-hearted also, but instead of combining, he only seeked more power for his company. He wanted a company worthy enough to challenge him. Moreover, when he found it, he would destroy it. In addition, when he did, it would increase his reputation. The Higurashi Empire wanted to consume the Takahashi Empire and the Takahashi Empire wanted to destroy the Higurashi Empire. For that reason, the two empires hated each other.

(Descriptions of the Assassins in each empire)

The Higurashi Empire:

Narakuis a man about the age of 25 in human years. He has long black locks of hair that reached all the way down his back. He has black eyes that were sometimes red. He's a hanyou. He is greedy and wanted only power. He has a lot of family that is bound to him by force. He bribed and manipulated people for his own selfish needs. The only reason that he was head of the Higurashi Empire was because the young girl Kagome needed to be 18 in order to take control of it. He was Kagome's father's most trusted advisor before they died (of some unknown reason) so it was only natural that he became head of the Empire until Kagome was of age. When he went to kill people, he sent a clone of himself in a bamboo pelt skin. He would rather people do his dirty work than himself. Only on special occasions, he would get close and personal with a murder. He was also infatuated with the priestess Kikyo, but no one new. It would be against the unwritten rule that said no personal relationships with the enemy. The Higurashi heir Kagome reminded him of Kikyo.

In truth, the heir for the Higurashi Empire was a young girl, Kagome Higurashi. The company was hers but she couldn't be the head of it until she was of age. She is 16 years old and the most deadly assassin of them all. She was the best and top assassin in her empire. She has been an assassin since she was 12 and now she's the best at the game. Her hair is so black that it looked blue and it reached down past her waist; it is usually kept loose. Her eyes were a light brown and her skin tone is nice and tanned. She looked like an innocent and sweet teenager with a nice figure when you first look at her. However, when you really look at her, you see a girl who has been through hell and back, a girl with a lot of problems on her hand. Her right hand woman was also her best friend, Sango. Everywhere that she went, heads turned. She had men licking her toes, just because of that.

Sango was in the game because she wanted revenge. She wanted revenge on the family that killed her family, the Takahashi'. She only had one piece of her family left and that was her younger brother Kohaku. But Kohaku had lost his memory when his parents died and it's been on and off ever since. Sango has long dark brown hair that appears to be black sometimes. She has brown eyes with pink eye shadow. Her hair was usually in a high ponytail but when it wasn't, it flows down her back to the middle of it. She was a bit more developed than Kagome. She is 17 years old and her skin slightly tanned. Her weapon of choice was the big boomerang, the Hiraikotsu and occasionally a sword and chain.

Her little brother, Kohaku is 13 years old. They share some similar features. His hair is dark brown and he holds it up in a high ponytail. His eyes were as brown as Sango's and his skin has a slight tan to it like hers. He is a cute little boy, but he didn't know much about his life. Only what his sister told him. And no matter how many times his memory went away, her picture was always in his mind. He assassinated along with his sister. His best friend, before he lost his memories was Souta. His weapon of choice is a chain. (If you have seen Kohaku in the show then you know what I'm talking about)

Kagome also had a little brother, Souta. Like his sister, he has black hair with a bluish tint to it and he also has brown eyes just like her. He keeps his hair slicked down with a messy bang in the front of his face like his sisters. He didn't know much about what his sister really did. He was only 12 so they didn't tell him a lot. His best friend is Kohaku. Even though Kohaku had lost his memory, he still considered him as a friend.

When Kagome was about 15, she took in a young kitsune who didn't have any family, Shippo. Shippo is a little fox demon with bright orange hair that is held in a thick ponytail with a light blue bow. He has a bushy tail that matches his hair color. He could play little tricks on people. His parents were killed by a group of assassins called the Thunder Brothers (TB). Kagome found him one day in the rain after he had barely escaped the TB's grasp. He has been with her ever since; she is like a mother to him. Shippo was only 6 years old in human years.

Kagura is one of Naraku's relatives, bound to him by force. She would've killed him any chance that she got. She is demon and to be specific, a wind sorceress. The wind is always in her favor. She always has her black hair up in one that was held up by two feathers attached with a strong string and she has a bang in the front of her hair. When she had it this way, it looked short but when her hair is down, it the end of it falls to the middle of her back. Her eyes are red and she wears a kimono that has red and white stripes. But on one of the sleeves, it is dark blue with light blue flowers imprinted on it, and under that, she had another kimono that is jade green. It has a yellow sash around it. She has elf-like ears, she wears a fuchsia eye shadow and she has earring that looks like three jade green pearls hanging of off each other. She also wore a blood red lipstick and she has a big spider on her back that represents her family birthmark. She is 22 years old in human years.

Ayame is a female wolf demon. She has reddish-brown hair that she keeps in two pigtails. She has messy bangs in the front of her hair with a purple flower on the left side of it. She wears a necklace that is the same color as her eyes. She has a lot of mystery behind her. No one knew much of her past so she wasn't told a lot, just the basics. She wears white female wolf armor and has a wolf tail that's the same color as her hair. She has a hot temper, so when she gets mad, she is not the greatest person to be around. She is 18 years old in human years. She is also holding onto a promise that was told to her when she was younger.

The Takahashi Empire:

Sesshomaru is head of the Takahashi Empire. He is Inu No Taisho Takahashi's eldest son. He is 24 in human years. The only reason he is head of the company was that his father died before Inuyasha become of age to be head. Most of his father's fortunes and companies were left in Inuyasha's care. The only companies that he had left Sesshomaru were the companies that help people. And for that same reason, he despised Inuyasha and to add to that, Inuyasha is a half-breed. His father (a full blood demon), had mated with Inuyasha's mother, Izayoi (a human), shortly after his mother had died. Sesshomaru is a full (pure) blood demon. He has long silky, white hair that is so shiny it gave off a bluish-silver tint. He has piercing golden honey-colored eyes with the family birthmark on his forehead, a dark-colored crest moon. His skin is the color of ivory and he also has two purple stripes on each side of his cheek and red eye shadow above his eyes (It wasn't really eye shadow but it looked like it). He has neat bangs in the front of his face. His hair reaches to his ankles; most of the time he has a serene and serious look on his face. He doesn't like to show emotion. He also has a detachable white fluffy tail. If he smiles at you it, most likely means that he is going to kill you or that, he is thinking about how stupid you were. He is hardly ever caught off guard. He has two purple stripes on each of his wrists and each sides of his chest. He has a servant tad named Jaken, who was scared to defy him (then again, who wouldn't be?). He didn't like humans but had to work with a couple of them. The only human that he could tolerate was his adopted daughter, Rin, who was 6 years old and a girl Shimara that was given to him when she was born. He was told to train her and keep her safe until she was legally of age to do so herself. He doesn't want his half brother to take control of the company but knew that it couldn't be avoided.

Inuyasha is the heir to his fathers company. His father died shortly after he was born and his mother died soon after his father so he couldn't remember how they looked. The only image he had of his father and mother were their self-portraits. Inuyasha is a half demon (a hanyou), as a result of a human (his mother Izayoi) and a demon (His father Inu No Taisho Takahashi) mating. Inuyasha has long white hair and golden-honey eyes like his brother. They both got there hair and eye color from their father. It was probably the only way you could tell that they were related. Since he was a hanyou, he has puppy-like ears on the top of his head. He wears a Robe of the Fire Rat, which he got from his mother who had got it from his father. It allows him to resist fire and it also works on those that he lends it to. It is resistible to acid and keeps him warm when others may be cold. He is 17 years old in human years and he would become heir when he is 18 in human years. Inuyasha would come across as an arrogant, rude and obnoxious person (which he was most of the time) but he is a sweet person at heart but he never lets anyone get close enough to find out. He used to be in love with a girl named Kikyo, who lives in his empire. Other than that he could have girls crawling at his feet if he wanted to but he chose to stay obsessed over Kikyo. He is type-muscular. Although he didn't act like it, he is the top assassin in his empire.

Rin is a 6-year-old little girl who doesn't know much about the world. She first met Sesshomaru when he was wounded after a big battle. She wanted to help him but he refused her help. Later on, he found her almost beaten to death by these thugs. He recognized that it was the young girl who tried to help him, so he healed her and always protected her from then on. Rin has black messy hair that stopped to about the middle of her back, with brown eyes. She has the top half of her hair up in one and the back out. She also has a messy bang in the front of her hair. She wears an orange and white hakama. She is kind-hearted and very playful. She really didn't like Sesshomaru's servant, Jaken, because he would always call her a filthy human.

Jaken's age was unknown. He is an ugly kappa demon. He didn't like humans and especially the ones that his 'Lord Sesshomaru' associated with, mainly Rin. He is some type of green. Even with his age unknown, you could tell that he was not young. He took orders from Sesshomaru and from him alone. Most of the time he was left watching Rin, which he didn't like to do but if he wanted to live, he would do it. He never really liked Sesshomaru's half brother, Inuyasha. He wasn't really liked. The only reason Sesshomaru put up with him was because some unknown force willed him to do it.

Kikyo is a 25 year old woman who seemed very cold and heartless. She resembled Kagome enough that you would think that they are sisters. But Kikyo's hair was longer and straighter than Kagome's and instead of giving off a bluish tint; it gave of a purplish tint. Her brown eyes didn't have as much life as Kagome's. They were dull. Her skin is pale and her expression is lifeless. Kikyo also wears more conservative clothes rather than Kagome who exposed a lot of flesh. They had obvious differences. The only way you could confuse them is if they were far away. She is obsessed but in-love with the half demon Inuyasha. But she wished that he was human.

Miroku is an 18-year-old monk (priest). He is a 'lecherous monk' as everyone called him. He has a wind tunnel in his hand that was there because of a curse that was put on his family. Eventually the wind tunnel would grow big enough that it would suck him in. He keeps spelled beads around his hand to keep it in control. He knew that the head of the Higurashi Empire was the cause of it, so he needed him dead in order to get the curse taken away. Miroku has dark purple eyes. He has black hair pulled back into a small low ponytail. He wears purple and black priest clothes. He is Inuyasha's best friend and right hand man. He is extremely perverted. Anytime he met a beautiful woman, he would ask her to bear his child because he wanted a heir to continue his work in destroying Naraku. He is good at finding evil spirits and doing exorcisms so Sesshomaru kept him around. He has a way with people, especially women. He isn't very muscular, he is slimmer than most boys were but don't let his looks fool you.

Kouga is the prince of the wolf demons. He is arrogant and he really doesn't like Inuyasha but if time came, they would put aside their differences and come together. He is well built and has baby blue eyes and bluish black hair pulled up into a high ponytail with a semi-messy bang in the front of his hair. He is really fast; if he moved fast enough, he would create world wings but no one knew why. When it came to woman he just didn't take no for an answer. He thought that he could have anyone that he wanted which most of the time he did. Still, he is one of the best assassins on the team. He is 19 years of age.

Kanna is a lifeless 10-year-old female demon who others saw as weird. She has straight white hair up to her shoulders and a neat bang. Her skin color was whiter than her hair and she wears only white. On top of that, she has dull and lifeless black eyes. She was a follower. She never disobeyed her true master. She seemed as faithful as ever. Sesshomaru found her when she was a baby and raised her to be like him. Therefore, that's probably why she showed no emotion. She was of great value to Sesshomaru because she could steal people's souls and trap it into the mirror that she had when he found her.

The last important person at the Takahashi Empire was a 12-year-old girl named Shimara. Shimara is a human who was 'born to kill'. No one was sure if she was human or not but she looked like one so that's how they labeled her. From she is old enough to walk, and she was taught how to fight and defend her self. She is a child prodigy so she was already out of school. She is a master swordsman. She excelled in all weapon fighting. She has excellent stealth and speed. She was unnaturally strong for a 'human' as everyone labeled her. Since she was still young, she was very playful and kind but when she had to do her job (killing people) you wouldn't see the innocent 12 year old you play with all of the time. You would see a viscous cold-blooded murderer. She was the most ruthless of everyone on the team. Even Sesshomaru shared more compassion when killing someone. She has big brown eyes that could fool anyone into thinking she was a sweet girl. She has long brown hair all the way down her back. Her tan skin made her skin look light brown. She wears her glasses in public even though she doesn't need them. She has 20/20 vision. She wears a pair of jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt most of the time. She did most of the things that girls her age did. She was probably the only human that Sesshomaru thought was worthy of his presence. When she went out and did her job, she concealed her look and smell. She is very different person behind closed doors. Sesshomaru sent her out most of the time to kill people or check things out. She is his most valuable assassin in the empire. She was given into Sesshomaru's care when she was born. She was the only other human that he cared for, next to Rin. Despite her murderous nature, she loved bright colors, but when on the job it was only black (unless she was going undercover).

In Naraku's office at the Higurashi Empire's main building.

"Kagome, I need you in my office right now," Naraku said on the intercom in the humongous building.

A few minutes later, Kagome entered the large office that was soon to be hers in two years.

"What do you want Naraku?" Kagome asked as soon as she entered the office.

"You get ruder every time I see you."

"Maybe because every time you see me you push orders my way."

"Well that's only because you're good at what you do."

"Anyway, Naraku cut to the chase. You're wasting my time."

"O.k. So pushy. Well the Takahashi Empire is becoming a nuisance. Like you, the rightful heir to the empire is not of age to take over and needs to be eliminated before the two year period comes and he takes over."

"But why? The one who is in charge of it now is his brother so he would just keep control of the company if the person you want me to kill is dead. So there will be no point in the assassination."

"Yes there will."

"Really. Explain it to me then."

"When he is assassinated then that will leave their defenses wide open. They won't expect someone to actually attack him. They wouldn't think anyone was stupid or smart enough to do it."

"And how would this help us."

"It will give us the upper hand. Once one is down the other should be easy to get to. I'll take care of him myself. And once they are both gone the company would be left all by itself and then I'll just buy it and we'll be the ultimate empire. No one would be able to take us down. We will be invincible."

"Whatever, so what's the plan."

"Well he has never seen you before so this is him (Naraku showed Kagome a picture of Inuyasha) He doesn't even know that you are an assassin so I want you to introduce yourself to him as the royalty that you are and just get to know him. Make him fall for you and when he has his guard down, kill him. But the most important thing is that under no circumstances can you get emotionally attached. Think of him as any other person that you have done this to."

"Why the extra warning?"

"He's been known to get ladies under his so-called spell without lifting a finger.

"Well so have I but for the males. Anyways tell me more about him."

"He's a half demon. He comes of most of the time as rude. He doesn't like to let anyone in. He has a very big and strong barrier around his heart. And that is what I need you to break in order for this to work. Don't be fooled by his stupidity. He is the top assassin in his empire."

"O.k. Just tell me where he will be and I'll accidentally bump into him."

"He has arrangements at the restaurant "For Riches" for tomorrow at twelve noon. I have pre-arranged a table for you and Sango close to his so that it would be no problem in seeing him. And you can handle it from there. Moreover, before I forget He will be bringing his best friend Miroku. I already gave Sango the information on him. She has to eliminate him, and that should be easy because he is known as a ladies man. So it should be easy to get close to the both of them. In addition, his ex-girlfriend is three years older than him. Her name was Kikyo. She resembles you a little so watch out."

"That's it?"

"Yes. Have a nice day. You officially start tomorrow. Make sure to wear something sexy. It'll drive him crazy."

"O.k." In addition, with the end of that conversation, she left to go find her best friend Sango to plan.

In Sesshomaru's office at the Takahashi Empire's main building

"Jaken can you find my brother and tell him to come in my office. Make sure you tell him that it's important," said in a harsh tone to the kappa demon.

"Yes Lord Sesshomaru," Jaken replied as he scurried of to find Inuyasha.

Minutes later, a fussing hanyou came into the office,

"What do you want form my life Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha rudely asked.

"Just your time. I'm not in the mood for arguing right now," Sesshomaru replied coolly.

"O.k. Speak."

"Well like you the true heir to the Higurashi Empire is too young to take control of it. SO we need her dead before she becomes of age."

"If she dies then the person that is in charge would just gain control."

"Yes but without a liable heir the company would easily be up for grabs. And we can just send Shimara to kill her little brother. I will kill the person in charge right now and we will be the strongest empire in Japan. And plus; if we don't we might loose everything that we have and I don't think that you want that to happen."

"So how is this going to be done?"

"You're going to meet her and get her to like you. When she drops her guard, kill her. But make sure that you don't develop any feelings toward her."

"Why are you so worried about me developing feelings?"

"She's been known for having guys fall at her feet and I just don't want you to be one of them."

"I won't. Back to the point. I need some background info on her."

"Now you're talking sensible."

Sesshomaru handed Inuyasha a picture of Kagome. Inuyasha looked at it and frowned.

"She reminds me of Kikyo."

"But there are so much obvious differences Inuyasha."

"Your right" Inuyasha didn't like the fact that she looked anything like Kikyo but he had to deal with it.

"She is a nice person once you meet her, but don't be fooled by it because she has a fiery temper once you get her started. She is the top assassin her empire. From what we can see, she doesn't like a person who smothers her, that's why her and her boyfriend Hojo broke up, and she also turned down Kouga so you might just have trouble getting her. She likes nice people who don't think too much of themselves and that will be your biggest problem."

"And why is that?"

"Because you think too much of yourself."

"Like you don't."

"Anyways. Her best friend Sango is a problem too so Miroku is going to take her out. I have reserved a table for you and Miroku at the restaurant "For Riches". You have a perfect view of where Kagome and Sango will be sitting. Somehow make yourself known to her and from there I'll leave the rest to you. Don't screw up. She doesn't know who you are behind closed doors so you have an advantage. Plus she has never seen you before."

"O.k." After the conversation, he left to find Miroku.

Preview of next chap: Kagome and Sango discuss what they have to do. Inuyasha and Miroku discuss what they have to do. They all meet up at "For Riches". Someone's plotting for all of their deaths.
