Chapter 1: Sinful

Theme: # 26 Frozen moment at the veryfirst sight

---

She never really could feel at the home in these kind of crowds. It was too extravagant, too fake in a way that got on her nerves, but she knew that she should get used to it, especially now that she was getting married. Her fiancee was after all, a very renowned businessman and this was the crowd that he frequented, if only to meet new people or in this case possible business partners.

Still to be truthful she never expected him to be this successful. Having known him since highschool, she had to admit that he changed quite a bit, but at the same time he had stayed very much the same. Yes, Hojo had grown into a very fine and respectable young men. At the tender age of twenty five, he was a successful businessmen, an all around good man and all she could ever wished for in a future husband. She smiled softly, her indigo eyes shining in warmth as she gazed at him as he spoke with some business partners. She was really lucky. It amazed her that even after all the times that she had ditched him, he still pursued her and she was glad he did.

"Kagome." His gently voice washed over her, bringing her out of her thoughts.

Instinctively she smiled and moved toward the handsome brunette. Dressed in a simple strapless mint colored gown, she suddenly felt rather plain looking as she came to stand next to him. He looked stunning in his tuxedo and his boyish look, only added to the charm, but a quick glance assured her that he found her the most beautiful creature in the room as he gently grasped his hand in hers. "This is my fiancee, Kagome Higurashi," he told the older gentlemen and she smiled at them. The older men quickly congratulated him and even complimented her on her dress and such, but she quickly grew bored and tuned out the conversation in favor of perusing the crowd. However it seemed that unfortunately there wasn't anything interesting to watch. All there was to see was overly dramatic women laughing, drinking and flirting with the men.

Rolling her eyes, she was about to give up and return her attention to Hojo, when she felt it. Like tiny prickles of ember, it danced along her skin, causing her to shiver. The familiar feeling was something that she hadn't felt in a long time. She almost thought that she would never feel it again, but apparently she was wrong as she felt the feeling increase. Indigo eyes widened and Kagome was certain that she knew what it was.

"Youki."

It was youki, she couldn't be mistaken. Not with the way her powers tried to latch unto it, like a parched men searching for water. Unable to resist the pull, she found herself excusing herself and moving toward where she knew that the energy was coming from. Even though it was faint, she could still detect it and she quickly followed it, afraid to lose it. Something in her tightened, remembering how her trip to feudal era seemed suddenly real again and for once she could say with certainty that it truly happened. Her friends all of them had been real.

She hesitated as she found herself leaving the main hall and following an empty and dark hallway, but the need to find someone that could relate to her and proof that everything had been real was enough to make her go onwards. She couldn't walk away, not now...

Allowing her powers to flare, she took the time to test the youki. She had to admit that it was strong, but it was also cleverly hidden. Kagome was almost certain that if she had been occupied, she would have missed it.

However as she continued on her way, she couldn't help but ask herself if this was a good idea. The youkai could always attack her, but the need and curiosity to see a creature that she had thought extinct was just too strong to ignore and without any thought to her actions or the consequences of such actions, she continued on her way.

Whatever else she might have been thinking was pushed away though as she came to stand in front of a door. Indigo eyes narrowed slightly as Kagome braced herself. This was it. Whoever she had been searching for was behind that door. She could feel the concentration of youki as it gathered in that room. Hand resting on the handle of the door, she paused trying to gather whatever strength and courage she might need and possibly device a plan.

Her thoughts were cut short though as she heard something clatter to the floor in the room, quickly followed by a feminine moan and a painful groan or at least that's what she thought. Quickly coming to the conclusion that the youkai was attacking someone in there, Kagome quickly threw open the door, not thinking for one moment that she could be wrong.

What met her though made her freeze in her steps.

The room was encased in darkness, the shadows seeming to blanket the whole space. The only little light that came from the window was enough though to illuminate the two other occupants of the room. The woman a pretty brunette had her eyes closed and was holding unto the shoulders of the male in front of her.

Nevertheless it was the male that made Kagome's breath catch in her throat as her gaze landed on him. He seemed to hold up the woman pretty easily against the wall. Kagome did not pay attention to that though, instead she allowed herself to carefully study his features. His face which was turned in her direction was stunning. High cheekbones, a strong elegant jaw, thin, but kissable lips. Beautiful, but still manly in a way that she could not quite explain. Long dark lashes fluttered against his cheeks as he held his eyes closed and allowed his lips to part slightly and release a groan. Kagome instantly felt her cheeks heat up as she followed the line of his body to the clothed hips, which seemed to thrust continuously and relentlessly against the woman. The scene of her white creamy legs and thighs wrapped around his waist was enough to make Kagome gasp softly as her mind processed what was going on.

Still she couldn't help but feel something tighten in her as she watched the scene, but all of the sudden she felt her breath catch in her throat as his eyes snapped open without warning and met her indigo ones. For a brief moment, everything seemed to freeze around her and she found herself completely trapped in that gaze. His eyes, a deep onyx as dark as midnight as dangerous as sin held her captive.

However whatever trance that she was in was broken, as she felt his youki sizzle along her skin. It was then that she realized that he seemed to be manipulating the very darkness and shadows in the room. Almost instinctively her powers flared trying to find off what it recognized as an intruder...and perhaps even an enemy.

Surprise flitted in those deep onyx eyes of his, but it was quickly replaced by something else that made Kagome shudder and take a step back.

Unable to stand his intense stare, she did the only thing that she could at the moment...

She ran.
