The sun's bright rays shown through the magnificent gold paneled windows as Kagome walked down the long elegant hallway to her mother's room. She wore a long silk emerald green kimono with a big gold bow in the back. Her hair was in her usual high bun, which showed her beautiful face features. She took long graceful strides as she walked to the main staircase. As she passed many of the servants bowed in respect and Kagome flashed them a sweet smile. She slowly walked up the stairs and reached her mother's room. She inhaled deeply and knocked gently on the big Mahogany door. She opened the great door and the scent of sweet smell of lilies came straight at her. She slowly entered the room and tried not to make any noise to disturb her sleeping mother. Kagome came and knelt by her mother's Queen sized bed, which had silver lining and soft plush green sheets. Her room was dim and the long green and silver drapes covered the windows. Kagome looked down upon her mother and smiled sweetly at her. Then her mother began to stir and awoke.

"Hi honey" The great Queen opened her eyes slowly and flashed Kagome a sweet smile.

"Hi mother, How do you feel?" Kagome asked with a hint of sorrow in her voice.

"I feel fine" She quickly glanced around the room "where is your brother?"

"He's…. mother Sota is just having a hard time is all. He will be up to see you soon" Said Kagome as she fought back the urge to cry.

The Queen grew quiet for a moment. "Tell him to come see me more and enough of this sorrow. When my children come to visit me I would like to see them happy. Yes these are my last days but I do not wish to spend them in despair." Said The Queen with a faint smile.

"Forgive me Mother" She smiled a faint smile back.

The Great Queen Naiomi was a great ruler. She was such a high-spirited person and always had a great personality. She cheered the sick, the elderly, and the young. She was the person that kept their kingdom together as a whole.

Along with her many strengthens she held great beauty. She had a very soft and flawless face and was the type of woman that any and every man had to stop and say hello. About two years ago the queen fell ill with a mysterious disease that was unknown to even the best medical aids. Soon she became bed ridden and became very weak. She needed care throughout most of the day. The disease wasn't airborne but her mother wanted a separate room just to be sure.

"How is the relationship going?"

Kagome frowned slightly. "Its fine mother…"

"As long as you're happy I'm happy. That's the most important thing. He seems like such a good man, I can tell he loves you very much."

"Naraku is… yes he is good to me mother." She said lowly.

"You do love him? Don't you honey?"

"Yes mother. I love him with all of my being." Kagome said with a strained smile.


"Father?"

"Yes Souta"

"I dislike Naraku…"

The two of them grew silent and they continued to walk in the north rose garden that Queen Naiomi had planted nearly 10 years ago. The breeze was nice and it was a bright and sunny day and it seemed to calm the already rising tension in the air.

"Son… Kagome wants to be with Naraku. He also treats her well. He is an exceptional man of high standards." Said the King in a very calm voice.

Souta's deep blue eyes flashed with irritation and frustration. "Why am I the only one who can tell that something is off with him? Father I…"

"Enough Souta" The King said sternly.

Souta the youngest of King Kaiyo's and Queen Naiomi's children and was closer to his mother. He felt as though she listened to his issues more and she also spent more time with him. His father was a very busy man and hardly has time to spend with his children. Souta's only 16 years old but is ranked number 2 in the kingdom for the best fighters. He looks much older than a sixteen year old. He has his father's defined handsome face with his mother's soft personality. He also took his father's deep dark blue eyes and took his father's height of 6"1.

King Kaiyo has to be one of the best kings in the entire nation. He always puts his people first and that's why the Higurashi kingdom is so close. Everyone is like a family. He's an exceptional man and made a lot of friends over the years that he has reigned as king. Kaiyo has those beautiful deep blue eyes that will just cause you to stare. He has a very handsome face, which Souta took. But a lot of people know him by his deep voice. It's calming yet just hearing it anyone would just have to respect him.

"Mother would believe me…" he said under his breath

"Souta I know it might be a little hard to accept that Kagome is leaving but it's going to happen. She loves him and she is of age to marry. There's nothing wrong with this marriage in my eyes." The king said firmly.

Souta stared annoyingly at a rose bush. Then walked a little farther ahead of his father.

"Father…"

"Yes?"

"Mom… she's… she's not gonna make it is she?" Souta's bangs covered his face and he felt an unexpected tear come down his cheek.

King Kaiyo stopped in his tracks and looked at his emotionally hurt son. His eyes got very low and he inhaled deeply.

"Souta…" he honestly couldn't find any words to say. Yes it's true that his wife, his childhood sweetheart was indeed dying from an unknown disease. Kaiyo has never spoken let alone showed any feelings regarding the condition of his wife. Many people thought it was strange but Kaiyo was just the type that did not like to show emotions.

"So you're going to remarry huh?" Souta said with a bit of spite in his voice. It was uncommon for a king to rule without a queen and a lot of people didn't approve of that tactic.

"Souta…" Kaiyo went over to his son and gave him a big hug. This was the first time they had embraced like this in many years. "I love you mother with all of my heart. When I was your age I tried my best just to impress her" He chuckled loudly. "I told her all kinds of lies just to hold a conversation with her. I've been in love with her since I was about six years old. I would NEVER remarry. Your mother will always and forever be my one and only. No other woman can take her place."

A few stray tears went down Souta's cheeks. "Thank you Father"


"That's good honey, love is a very special thing, It's one thing that will never work out if you try to force it."

"Thank you mother"

"Have you noticed the trees?" The Queen shifted slightly in her bed to make better eye contact with Kagome.

"Yes I've noticed mother." Said Kagome with a genuine smile.

"Yes, it's almost time for the ceremony as well"

Kagome smiled. "Mother I wish I had your strong spirit and courage." A single tear fell from Kagome's cheek.

"Honey my spirit will always be with you. Especially in your times of need." The Queen closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Kagome kissed her mother's forehead lightly and stood up quietly and exited the room making sure to close the door quietly. She proceeded to walk down the stairs then she saw her brother at the end of the stairs who appeared to be waiting for her.

"She's asleep?" Said Souta with concern in his voice.

"Yes, She misses you a lot I know it's hard for you but, it's hard for her too"

"I know that" Said Sota lowly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"I understand" Kagome gave him a warm hug "Mom is dying but, let's try to think about the good times, think positive and with hope Sota."

"Positive huh…" Souta said with a faint smile.

Just then the King entered the hall and both the prince and princess bowed in respect.

"Children, I have a favor to request of you."

"Yes father?" They said in unison.

"I want both of you to attend the Takashi spring ball in place of me and your mother."

"The Takahashi Ball… weird I've never met the Takahashi royal family before." Said Kagome

"They're our most trusted allies I believe" Said Souta with curiosity.

"I and your mother have met them countless times and yes Souta you are correct. Now I want you to be on your best behavior, There will be a lot of people there so you will have to represent this Kingdom well."

"We'll do our best father." They said in unison.

"But why can't you attend?" asked Souta

"Your mother isn't doing so well. I want to spend as much time with her as I possibly can." The King gazed slightly down at the ground.

Souta and Kagome grew silent. But nodded in response.

"I want you two to get prepared. Get your best attire and wear the royal colors with pride. You will leave tomorrow and you will have to spend the night with the royal family. It will be too dangerous to travel through the night."

"This is gonna be so cool! My first ball!" Souta said excitedly

"Souta the balls are about business and territory matters, It's not all fun." Said Kagome confidently.

"Well you can handle the affairs, you're the eldest. I'm gonna go talk to the ladies!" Souta said with a wink.

King Kaiyo chuckled. "My Souta you sure are growing up on an old man. Oh I almost forgot, Hojo will be accompanying you on the trip."

Kagome grew slightly irritated. "Why does he always have to come? We already have about 10 guards accompanying us already!"

Hojo was ranked number 1 in the kingdom. He's also good friends with King Kaiyo. Hojo's family is the head of security at the Higurashi Kingdom and that granted him privileges to be around the royal family more. He's tall around 6'2 with sandy brown hair and light green eyes. His face was quite attractive and many of the young ladies found him attractive and wanted his attention. But he had his eyes set on one particular girl, Kagome Higurashi.

"Good, at least I can have someone to talk to and I can get some tips on my fighting techniques from him!" Souta said happily

Souta looked up to Hojo like a big brother. They had known each other since Sota was a toddler and Hojo had helped Souta become the good fighter that he is today. Souta's number one goal right now is to surpass Hojo and get ranked number 1 in the kingdom.

"Well you to should be getting ready. Oh and just a little heads up about the Takahashi royal family. DO NOT get on their children's bad side.
