Have you ever loved something so much that it took your breath away every time you saw it? Made you so speechless that you could only utter noises and never form words? Or made your eyes moist and glossy so much so it was as if you were looking through the bottoms of two empty glasses?
Well I myself am not a hopeless romantic but all the things on this earth, more so on this island, makes me stare in awe at the beauty that surrounds me. The beauty that had been created by the mighty gods that reside in the sky. The beauty the ancestors before us have created with their own hands. There's nothing I love more than my parents kingdom.
There are three other kingdoms on this island, excluding my families Northern kingdom, the kingdom of the South (ruled by Lord Kouga and Lady Ayame), the kingdom of the East (ruled by Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagura) and kingdom of the West (ruled by Lord Inutaisho and Lady Izayoi).
Together these four kingdoms work together in order to rule this island, an island filled with magic and adventure. Now I know what you're thinking, magic doesn't exist right? Wrong, magic plays a huge role in our daily routines on this island we known as Yokai island. Yokai island is pretty much self explanatory. Yokai, of every size, shape and form, reside here in peace and tranquility….aside from the arguments or squabbling some people seem to get into here and there. Anyway let's get back to the magic, when a baby is born on this island it lacks demon features of any kind. That baby is completely and utterly human. The baby will grow up completely human until they hit a certain age in which a demon god/spirit will come to "claim the child". Some like to think of it more as a possession than a claim but hey to each his own right. When that child is "claimed" then that demon god/spirit, no one really knows for sure, invokes its demon power into that child to make it that type of demon. For example if a wolf god/spirit comes to "claim" a child it becomes a wolf demon. After a child becomes a demon it must leave their family to train under a demon tribe of its kind for one year to get the hang of being that specific yokai. The child would then be able to choose to stay with its own kind of yokai, return home or go to live somewhere else.
My parents, Lord Agito and Lady Asako, have three children my older twin sister Kikyo, myself and my younger brother Souta. We live together with our grandpa, fat cat buyo and hundreds of servants in this wonderful palace I call home. I am second in line for my parents throne and just like anyone who has been cornered and trapped into a intervention due to their addiction i'm here to announce to all of you that I, at the age of 17, have still not been claimed by any yokai god/spirit. And I am desperate at this point to be "claimed" by any god/spirit so much so that i'm more than willing to lower my standards to that of a pig demon. My name is Kagome Higurashi and this my story.
