Hey guys, this is my first fic that I'm actually going to post, and I'm just kind of winging it. I got this idea when I watched The dark knight, and I'm an absolute batman freak. SOOOOO my character is a slight ode to Heath ledgers Joker. Now my only thing is I didn't know whether to make this a sesshy story or a bankotsu story, buuut after much debate I picked sesshy cause I mean who are we kidding, he's awesome! So this will be a sessh/OC! Anyways please review and enjoy! btw if you are curious to see how my character dresses think old Persian empire royalty (like look up prince of Persia) or bollywood or something along those lines. Oh and also, the prologue is long but I wanted yall to see a glimpse of her past before we start on the real story.

I don't own Inuyasha but I do own all these OCs so yah!

Prologue

Quiet chatter is drifting through the air as everyone waits patiently with fake perfect smiles. I'm on the outside of the shrine far down the aisle watching my mother and step father quietly whisper to each other in the front row, she looking frantic and he looking angry. I look to Isao next, he is standing with the priest in the front face flushed and hands twitching nervously.

I roll my eyes my bitter smirk hidden from view by the light baby pink veil covering half my face. My mother told me it made my green eyes pop, and considering that is my best feature, it was probably a smart idea to enhance them. I ran my hand across my slightly exposed leg to feel the sharp edge of my lucky dagger strapped tightly to my leg. I glanced down and shifted the sheer material to close the slit of my skirt a little more to hide the handle of the dagger.

Most of my tan limbs could be seen, my long torso was exposed as well as my shoulders and arms. The tops small sheer sleeves hung loosely off my shoulders while the thick tight material that covered my breast had golden beading and stopped far above my belly button and showed just a peep of cleavage. It buttoned in the back and fit me like a second skin. The skirt hung low on my waist and floated out everywhere when the breeze hit it. The silk underneath kept it from being completely see though the slits going on both legs up to mid thigh while the skirt itself was long enough to where it touched the ground. The materials were dyed a baby pink, but in the sun it shined like gold. I was completely barefoot. It was clear that I was not fully Japanese.

I didn't wear traditional kimonos like the other girls. With a sheer veil always covering my face, it never really went with the pretty silk fabrics of kimonos. No, my mother imported my clothes from the main land. My clothing was beautiful, even more so than kimonos and I was privileged to wear them. But despite that fact , I always looked like an outcast, too much skin showed and that wasn't proper for a young lady like myself to wear.

My step father always told my mother it would give people, specifically men, the wrong idea. Really the only person who would get the wrong idea was him, I hate that man with a burning passion. Ugh, Ryuunosuke, that was his name. I felt nauseas just thinking of it. He is just a terrible human being, always smiling sweetly in front of others but absolutely cruel behind closed doors. Honestly, I am pretty sure he is the devil in disguised and yet somehow that sick man has everyone fooled that he is the perfect gentleman, it makes my blood boil. I hiss lightly at just the thought of him.

I turn back to Isao and our eyes lock. He smiles softly and slowly looks back to the priest who is blabbing on and on about vows and what not. My heart flutters just gazing at him. I love the man, he was everything my step father was not. He was beautiful and kind with these blue eyes that were just to die for.

I bit my tongue harshly, and turned back around and headed out of the shrine. 'Don't do this to yourself you idiot, don't say things like that or you will get too attached.' my mind kept screaming at me. I shut my eyes tightly and shook my head, no, I can't have any of those thoughts, they are forbidden.

I felt a hand wrap around my arm softly and I glanced to the side to see my mother smiling sweetly at me. "Are you ready Mari? It's almost time for the wedding to begin?" I mumbled an incoherent yes which earned me a eye roll.

"And where in the world is Kumiko? She's running 10 minutes late, we wouldn't want to start without her!" I played with a piece of my long curly light brown hair.

"I'm sure she is just having trouble putting her kimono on, did you see how many layers were on that thing?"

" Mari quit doing that with your hair, you don't want to make it any messier than it already is! And didn't I tell you to put something respectable on and pin up your hair? You look like a common harlot!" I held back a groan as my step father walked to my mothers side and threw the hair down letting it dangle just above my hip as I crossed my arms and glared at him.

" Yeah yeah father." I spat the word out like it was venom. Before he could respond a ball of white engulfed me.

"Mari, oh Mari isn't this wonderful? The day is finally here oh gosh I don't know if I'm ready, are you ready for this? I don't even know.." My little sister continued to rant for like 5 minutes until I finally put my hand over her mouth.

"Kumiko shut up for a second and let me look at you!" She smiled brightly and stepped away from me and turned slowly. She wore a white kimono with little white flowers sprinkled around the fabric. Her milky white skin looked almost silver and her dark obsidian eyes twinkled lightly. Her black hair was put up into some ornate bun with a thin silver pin in her hair. It was her wedding gift from Isao.

Oh did I forget to mention that this was not my wedding but my 13 year old sisters who is marrying the man I have the mega hots for? Yeah it sucks I know but neither of us get to have a say in it. It was arranged by my step father, who just happened to own a small kingdom making him a king or lord or whatever which also makes me and my sister princesses, well sorta, I wasn't his real daughter therefore I'm not really anything.

But what really sucks is that my sister and Isao are completely and utterly in love with each other and he is going to be taking over our kingdom as soon as he and my sister tie the knot. And I'm gonna be stuck living in that castle with them. Great fun I know.

I smile sadly at her. 'She's still just a kid.' Maybe I was thinking that because I was 25 years old and still not married (granted I only looked like a slightly over developed 17 year old), another thing my step father liked to rub in my face. But I was hardly ever allowed to leave our grounds this being one of the only times. The only men I ever see are the old butlers, guards, my step dad and of course Isao.

'Ok Stop. Now. She's your sister, be happy for her.' I took a deep breath and smiled at her, "You look gorgeous, Isao will be lucky to have you."

"Of course she does! My blood runs through her veins, any man would be lucky to have her." I glared at her father, and bent down to hug her.

"Then maybe they should just cut out the middle man and marry you instead since you're so great." I rolled my eyes at my step fathers roar and blocked out his response.

I looked back to my dearest sister. She was 1 years old when I was her age, how can she get this big so quickly. I closed my eyes and held her tighter as I could feel her trembling. 'She's too young for this.'

"Mari, I'm afraid." She whispered suddenly in my ear. "I'm afraid of what will become of us, of me and you."

"Why do you say that?" She pulled away slightly and gave me this look. She knew I liked Isao. I shook my head.

"It's not meant to be, I mean we aren't even compatible."

"Please if you don't want me to marry him I won't. I'll understand." I sighed and shook my head as I watched myself destroy the last shred of him ever being with me slip away. Oh well.

"No. You love him and I want you to marry him."

" But I don't want this to ruin.."

I cut her off before she can say anymore. "Hey your my sister. No man will ever come between us, do you understand me? I'll just find me some other unsuspecting male victim, after all I am a heartbreaker." I squinted my eyes and tilted my head. "Promised to all but given to none. Oh yeah, that's me." She rolled her eyes and nodded with a smile. "Now then get your pasty behind in that shrine so I can go home and crack open that sake mom hides in that ugly flower vase." She smiled brighter and ran past our confused parents toward the shrine doors.

~3 hours later~

We were all back from the wedding eating a grand feast that my step father had set up for all the guest. The bride and groom were sitting at one end of the table while my parents were sitting on the other end. Everyone happily chatted about how beautiful and moving the wedding was. Honestly, it was probably the most boring thing I ever sat through, but I sat through it with a smile. Hell I even sat through Isao's crowning and the stepmonsters de-throwning. (even though I was silently cheering that he was no longer in charge) I mean thats gotta mean something right? Right? Maybe some awesome sister points? No? Well it was worth the shot.

Ok so maybe I'm being bitter again, or maybe I'm just drunk. Yeah I think I'm drunk, I can't even get this bottle open. I grab my dagger and stab into the cork. "HAZAAH!" I rip the dagger out of the now loose cork. I wiggle the cork a bit and watch it shoot off and hit Isao upside the head. He let a loud girlish screech and everyone gasped and looked at me. I glance around with a sheepish smile and see my step fathers face become red. "Oh Um Whoops!" His face gets redder. I look to Isao to see him clutch the side of his head slightly groaning. "Oh well sorry about that. Blame the bottle."

"Mari" I look back to my step father.

"Woah calm down you old fart, you look like you're about to have a stroke or maybe your just constipated. What have I told you about eating all that cheese. I mean you try to warn a guy..."

"Mari! Leave this room immediately." I look at my step father with half lidded drunken eyes.

"No, how about you leave this room."

"Excuse me." I don't think his face has ever been redder. Now I have my chance for revenge, all those years of torment he put me through, a little public humiliation will do him good.

" I said you leave this room."

"This is my house.."

"Yeah I really don't care."

"...and you WILL do as I say!" My eyes narrowed dangerously, and I stood slowly placing both my hands on the table and hunched my shoulders a little as I looked him in the eye.

"First of all this isn't your home, hell is. And I think satan misses you so maybe you should go back. Second of all, you have no authority over me, you are not my father."

"IM STILL YOUR KING!"

"But thats the thing. You arent anymore, you just gave that power over to him." I pointed over to Isao who looked about as shell shocked as all the other guest. "You are nothing to me anymore, and I do not in any way have to obey you, you filthy excuse for a human."

He roared and slammed his fist against the table. " You halfbreed! HOW DARE YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF ABOVE ME! You are a disgusting good for nothing little bastard. Your own father didn't even care enough about you to stay with you. No he left you here, because you are a disgrace! An unnatural creature! Your father should have dragged you into the netherworld to rot in hell with him, it would have done us all a huge favor!"

I stared wide eyed at him. Never in all my years had he ever said something like that in front of other people to me. I looked to my mother who just stared across the table blankly. All those years I told her about the abuse, not once did she believe me. But now she had seen it right before her eyes yet she didn't do or say anything to defend me. I shook my head in disbelief. I looked at my sister. She did nothing. I looked all around but everyone just looked away from me.

Lastly I looked at Isao. He stared into my eyes but slowly turned his from me and looked down at the table. My heart shattered. Not even him, the one who I thought was so kind, not even he came to my rescue. I clenched my jaw slightly sobering up quickly and laughed a humorless laugh. I pulled out my dagger and began twirling it in my hand.

"Well then, I see how you all feel. If you don't mind I think I'll get to bed early." With one last twirl I slammed the dagger deep into the wooden table allowing it to almost crack the table in half with all the force I used. I didn't grab it when I went up to my room. Little did I know that that was probably the biggest mistake I made that night. I was only vaguely aware of my step fathers cold glare and him ripping the dagger out of the table.

I wasn't getting much sleep tonight. I could still hear my step father screaming to my mother about my disobedience, and how I needed to learn a lesson far down the hall. Her voice was barely audible as she whispered for him to calm down. I could hear them drifting away down the hall and finally hear their voices completely fade out.

I sighed calmly and squeezed my eyes shut. 'Just breath, take a deep breath, now let it out.' I had been repeating that all night but still I couldn't help but feel the deep betrayal creep into my heart when I remembered my own mother not coming to my defense. Then I thought of Kumiko, she did nothing as well. Finally my thoughts drifted to Isao, he hurt me worst of all. Gosh how am I suppose to face anyone tomorrow?

I knew I couldn't though. I knew that that was the last straw and I was done getting abused by someone much weaker than me. I sat up straight in bed with a new found determination. I had to leave, and I was going to tonight. I shot up and grabbed a large bag from on one of the chest in my room, and began stuffing all of my clothes in it.

It took me about an hour to finish and I quickly opened the door to my room. I knew if I were to get caught out of the house at night there would be dire consequences. And if I was caught off the palace grounds, well I can honestly say i'de be screwed. Since Kumiko and Isao were off in the far west wing of the palace, I knew the guards would be conjugating over there to make sure no one would interrupt the love birds.

I quickly exited the building and slowly scurried down the walk towards the gate. I quietly threw my bag over and began to climb the stone wall.

"So did you hear about what happened at dinner tonight between Mari and Ryuunosuke?" CRAP! I looked over my shoulder half way up the wall to see the shadows of two guards walking straight towards me. by the sound of their voices they were new. I hurried on my way up.

"Yes, I'm shocked that girl isn't dead yet with a mouth like that." They started to turn the corner and I made it to the ledge.

"Oh and what a mouth it must be. I heard that they have to hide half her face because she is so beautiful, that men can only handle half her beauty." I scoffed silently and threw myself over the ledge. I landed silently on my feet.

"Yeah I heard she gave this old man a heart attack because she was such a sight to behold." I could hear them walk past where I once was and I quickly grabbed my bag and took a step only to step on a branch. I froze wide eyed and held my breath.

"Did you hear that?" Both guards stopped and stayed silent for a couple seconds. I waited quietly and crossed my fingers.

"It must have been a rabbit." I could hear them chuckle and walk away. I let out my breath and darted off into the woods trying to avoid the village down the road. Once I got far enough I began to walk and calm my breath. A small smile appeared on my face, "Booyah."

I had been walking for about an hour and fatigue had finally started hitting me. I decided now would be a good time to find a safe place and sleep. I walked for another mile or two before I came across what looked to be a cave. It was hidden well with vines hiding the entrance. I went inside and placed my bag against the wall and saw a suitable boulder to sleep on. It was in the middle of the room and was flat like a bed. I smiled at my luck and quickly laid on it closing my eyes and fell fast asleep.

I heard a snap. Someone was here. I shot up from my boulder and looked around. It was still dark out and I cautiously made my way to stand.

"Oh there's no need for that." My head snapped to the voice that came across the cave. I knew that voice.

"Ryuunosuke?"

"Good job!" He slowly came out of the shadows with a nasty grin on his face. "Now can you guess what I'm going to do next?"

My hand immediately went to where my dagger should be strapped to my thigh, but there was no dagger. My heart jumped in fear and thudded in my chest quickly and painfully.

"Looking for this?" I glanced up to see him holding my precious dagger in his hand. "You see, you should have just listened earlier instead of HUMILIATING me in front of all my guest. What you didn't realize was that I may 'just human' but I have friends in high places. Friends who can do amazing things, heal people, see the future, curse objects. Im sure you can guess how surprised I was to not find you in your room. You're a naughty girl, you deserve to be punished for all the trouble you made me go through to find you."

"Go to hell" I spat.

"Well that was where I was considering sending you, but I have a much better idea." He began to advance on my twirling the dagger. "You will never learn if I just kill you. No, you need to be taught how to obey, how to do as your told, to learn your place." He was standing in front of where I was still seated. I was so scared I couldn't move, couldn't act. I was completely helpless.

"You will learn." He crushed his lips against my still veiled ones. I shoved him away now angry but before I could stand he stabbed the dagger through my heart. I stared up at him wide eyed as he laughed cruelly. "You will learn your place one way another. Whoever pulls this from your chest will have complete control over you, I'm sure you realize that person will be me. Should have just given yourself to me from the start, then we wouldn't be in this mess. But before I do that, I think you need to sleep for a while. Nighty night beautiful." He chuckled as he took in my body as it slowly lowered itself onto the boulder.

My eyes began to close and the last thing I uttered was, ".. You… you smell.. like poop."

The last thing I heard was his screech of rage and felt the small smirk spread on my face before I felt nothing at all.

And thus the curse of the dagger was created.

So no Sesshy in this but this is way before kagome or anyone or even inuyasha was born btw. The first chapter will be in the normal feudal era with our favorite guy ol' Sesshsessh! So my Character isn't fully Japanese! More will be uncovered in later chapters!

I do apologize if it seems a bit rushed in this prologue, but I was kinda rushing so I could get to the first chapter. Anyways please review and tell me if you would be interested for me to continue!
