A young woman walked down the dirt road of her village. Her hand tightens around the little hand that she has a grip on. She bounced lightly as the bundle on her back begun to cry. She adjusted her grocery bag on her shoulder and sighed heavily as the child begun to cry louder. She halted as noises rung from the center of the village. She changed her path and headed towards the racket. When she arrived, people were gathered around in a form of a circle. She hushed the child that held her hand and made her way to the gathering. She stood on her toes, trying to see what everyone was gathered around. Through the heads, she could see two figures covered in a large cloth that covered their body. She landed on her feet and tried to make out what everyone was screaming about. She could only make out bits and pieces with all the yelling. Great priestesses being sold...Lord of the Western Lands coming... She shook her head in confusion and stopped when everyone quieted. Everyone slowly bowed and she was able to see the scene completely. It was true, the Lord of the Western Lands did appear; behind him was his two sons. In front of the two clothed figures, stood the Headmaster. She turned back to the three demons, to find the one with dog ears staring at her. She looked around and noticed everyone still bowing, she was the only one standing. She stiffen and quickly bowed with everyone else. Tilting her head up, she noticed the Headmaster walking towards the three. She glanced back at the dog-eared demon and noticed an uneasy expression on his face.
"As promised, here are our two most powerful and finest women in our village in exchange for your protection," the Headmaster stated and kneeled down in front of the three. The Lord walked around him and towards the two cloth women. He circled them once and stood in front them. His claw reached through the cloth and raised one of the women's head. He examined her face and ran his thumb along her cheek.
"You're right," the Lord stated and removed his claw from her face. "They are indeed beautiful and I can smell their determination and fortitude. You ladies are to come with me at once." He turned around and walked pass the Headmaster and his sons. The two women did as they were told and followed after the silver-haired demon. The two sons exchanged glances and followed behind the clothed-figures.
Everyone slowly stood up as the five exited the village. The young woman stood up, the infant on her back weeping loudly. She wandered what that was all about.

The clothed women were led to a room in the high floors and told to change into the clothing on their bed. Near the door of the room were two blood-red couches on opposite sides. Upon a small step lied two white king size beds on opposite ends. A fairly large window with white lance curtains rested between the two beds. One of the cloth women walked to the bed and removed her oversize handkerchief. She sat it next to the clothing they were supposed to wear. It was a pure-black kimono with white and red flowers designs around every curve. A medium red bow was attached to the back.
"I'm starting to disagree with this deal," her firm, calm voice announced as she removed her priestess clothing, replacing them with the kimono. "Could not the Shikon Jewel protect us? Ever since our last village was destroyed, the Headmaster felt like he needed more protection. I didn't think he would go this far to get help."
The other women walked to her bed and changed as well. "The Lord of the Western lands is the highest protection available. I could see why he wanted to trade off his best protectors of the village for the protection of this lord."
A soft knock filled the quiet room and the two women turned to the door. Without an answer, a female walked into the room and bowed. "The Lord wishes to see you." The two priestess stared at each other and followed. They took in their surroundings, familiar the place just in case they got lost. Soon they entered the dining hall where the three silvered-haired demons laid. The lord sat at the end of the far table, his two sons sitting on his right.
"I'm sure you know who I am, but let me introduce you to my sons. The one on my right is Sesshomaru and the one on my left is my youngest son Inuyasha. I'm going away for a while and you two are to do whatever they tell you. Now, I introduced ourselves so you tell us your names."
"My name is Kikyo."
"My name is Rei."
