Her clothes no longer fit her. She held the familiar red and white kimono close to her body so it would not fall. It was dark and gloomy, rain clouds hovered above the foregin city. The streets were abandoned, leaving her lost and cold. She sighed. How did she even end up here? One minute she was fighting some sort of witch who happened to knock her out, and the next she wakes up in an alley way, her clothes to big for her.

She sighed and ran her fingers through her tangled raven hair. She knew for a fact that she wasn't in feudal japan. Perhaps she wasn't even in Japan at all anymore. Glancing at the window filled with toys, she finally caught of glimpse of herself in its reflection. She blinked. Was that little girl really her? She let out a shriek. That explained why her clothing didn't fit anymore.

Kagome looked at her small hands. "I wonder if I have my powers still..." she muttered. She shook her head. She'd find out later. She needed to find food and shelter. It looked as if it would start raining soon and she was in no postion to get sick.

Kagome continued to roam the streets until the sun began to peek over the horizon. By this time, she was starving. Kagome bit the nail of her thumb. What was she going to do? She didn't have any money for food and she had no where to stay. She didn't know where she was. She let out a sigh and leaned back against a wall. She needed some new clothes, her kimono was much to big for her. Not to mention the funny looks she was getting from passbyers.

"Damn that witch." Kagome thought. "If Inuyasha hadn't been so reckless and charged into battle the way he did, I wouldn't be in this mess! When I get back I'll make sure he pays for this. Well... If I get back." She shook her head. "First things first, I have to find a way of getting money.

Kagome spent that morning asking around if anyone was in need of assistance. However, luck was not on her side. She had been literally tossed out of several shops and buisnesses. The others who were kind, politely rejected her offer. No one needed a former a twelve, former sixteen, year old assisting them.

She began asking the people out on the streets if they needed assitance. At this point, Kagome was desperate. She even began to beg for a job of sorts.

"Excuse me sir," she tugged on the sleeve of a tall man dressed in a black. The man stopped and turned to Kagome. Her chocolate brown eyes clashed with his crimson red ones.

The man examined the small girl that had stopped him. Dirt covered her face and clothes, which seemed to be her size at all. They were much too large on her. He smiled down at her. "What can I do for you mi'lady?"

"I'll do anything! Please just give me some work to do!" She begged, cligging onto his arm.

The man stood there, staring at her. What should he do? Surely the young master didn't need another maid. But perhaps Mey-rin could use someone to talk to other than Finny and Bardroy. He decided he'd take full responibilties. She may not be skilled in the ways of the others, but that mattered not.

"How about serving Earl Phantomive as one of his servants?" He kneeled down so he was eye to eye with her.

"Yes! Anything!" she cried out.

"Very good. Now let's go, my master is awaiting my arrival." With that said the man stood up and offered her a hand. Kagome slid her hand into his and fell in step with him. "What is your name?"

"Ah. Kagome Higurashi."

"Are you perhaps from Japan? Why are you here in England?" he questioned glancing down at her.

Kagome panicked slightly. "What should I tell him? I can't exactly tell him that I traveled from feudal japan and somehow ended up here in England because of a witch." "I was smuggled here." she lied.

"And you managed to escape your captors?" Kagome nodded. "You may call me Sebastian."

After a 30 minute walk, Sebastian and Kagome arrived at the Phantomhive manor. Kagome gaped at the size of the mansion. She had never seen a house so big. She wondered if Sebastian tended to the house all on his own. Surely not. Someone with a house this large must have a lot of servants.

"Come along now. We don't have long. You must be presentable when meeting Lord Phantomhive." Sebastian said from atop the stairs.

"Oh. Right!" Kagome ran up the stairs to catch up with the handsome butler, careful not to trip over her kimono. Inside, Kagome marveled at the beauty of the mansion. It was well cleaned and yet she did not see another servant walking the halls.

"This will be your room while you stay." He opened the room and stepped inside. It was a plain room with a twin sized bed, a dresser, and a wardrobe.

"Well... It beats sleeping on the cold hard ground." Kagome muttered to herself as she stepped inside.

"I will have Mey-rin fetch you some suitable clothing later this evening after dinner prepartions have been made." He opened the closet and fished through. "Hmm nothing seems to be your size. Very well, I will have to make you some clothing. I shall return within the hour. Do make yourself at home. After dinner, I shall introduce you to the Earl Phantomhive."

"Y-yes. Thank you Sebastian. I appreciate everything you've done for me thus far."

"Not a problem mi'lady. Now if you'll excuse me."

Kagome smiled and fell back onto the bed. "England huh..." She rolled over on her side. "I wonder who this Phantomhive character is."
