A Virgin until the End

The Prologue

Every paper upon the local news stands – in some wording or another – read: The world must be repopulated. They were not lying nor fabricating a story like most of the time. Billions of people have just died, and the government had to create mass crematoriums. The world had just undergone a massive attack by an unknown assailant.

The only suspect the people have was the government. There were too few government casualties, and that fact alone led to the overall suspicion. A basic premise had been discussed in the UN a few years earlier that any and all "undesirables" were to have their choice between death by injection or sterilization. Needless to say, the majority of people were outraged at the idea, and the topic was supposedly dropped. Many years later, world-scale genocide was set into motion. Approximately 5.5 billion men, women, and children died in the onslaught of 5 hours. It was Darwin's idea of survival of the fittest. Those people who died would have been categorized as "undesirable."

Now, the populations had dropped considerably. About one billion people were still alive, and the world was desperate to put the tragedy behind them and start anew. The first order of business was to lower the age of consent to 14 in every country; which was closely followed by a law instating a maximum of a 5 year age difference between partners of 14-20 year olds. Abortions were only allowed for the mother's health and cases of incest. Birth control was labeled an illegal drug, and anyone caught in possession of birth control would be jailed for a minimum of 9 months with good behavior. Many of other laws were enacted in the span of 2 years after the genocide.

On the little island of Japan, only about 50 million people survived that day out of over 125 million. One 18 year old girl named Kagome and most of her family was part of that 50 million. Unfortunately, her father had died within those 5 infamous hours. Kagome had promised her father when she was a little child that she would not get married – let alone have sex – until he approved the boy. Every girl in her school was soon pregnant and many of them were leaving to become house wives. For those two years, as countless laws were put into place so that mere teens were promoted to conceive child after child, Kagome held onto the promise she made to her father.

Kagome was completely revolted when a letter came from the state officials telling her mother that either she was to get remarried or Kagome was to be forced into an arranged marriage. Kagome could not bare the look upon her mother's face after she had finished reading the letter. She knew what she had to do. She would sacrifice herself for her mother's sanity.
