Disclaimer: I don't own the anime series, Inuyasha. Rumiko Takahashi does as well those people who bought the rights for it. I am merely borrowing its characters for this fic. But I do own Kaname.

Summary: When the two orphaned heiresses of a famous family are almost kidnapped, their only living relative, their grandmother, hires a private bodyguard for each of them. One is arrogant and bossy while the other is aloof and cold. Forced to live under one roof, will they ever learn to tolerate one other? Hostility sprouts but will love also be born?

Rated "A" Bodyguard

Chapter 1: Twin Heiresses

---Eight Years Later---

…

"Hey Kagome!" A teenager, about sixteen, with long dark blue hair and golden-brown eyes called out as she ran towards her twin sister. Her hair was straight but the tips were wavy. She was wearing a white sundress and a pair of flat-heeled white sandals.

"What is it, Kaname?" Kagome answered. She had long, slightly wavy black hair and mesmerizing brown eyes. She was wearing a blue sundress with matching high-heeled blue sandals.

"I heard grandmother has hired…private bodyguards for…us…" Kaname explained slowly once she had reached Kagome's side.

"What!?" Kagome exclaimed in disbelief. "You're joking…right?"

Kaname narrowed her eyes and hissed, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Kagome studied her twin sister for a moment before shrugging and shaking her head in defeat. No, Kaname never joked about things like this. If nothing else, shewas the serious one of the two.

"Alright. I'm sorry. So...who told you?"

Kaname shrugged. "Heard it from one of the maidservants. Said she heard grandmother talking on the phone with someone. Supposedly, it was because we were almost kidnapped two weeks ago."

Kagome sighed in frustration. After that incident two weeks ago, they were forced to stay at home most of the time and when they were allowed to go out, they had to have at least five bodyguards with them wherever they went.

'Honestly, grandma worries too much.' Kagome groaned to herself in dismay.

"We're meeting them tomorrow." Kaname informed her.

"What!? So soon!? What are we going to do?" Kagome wailed in panic.

Kaname sighed in exasperation and calmly regarded her distressed sister. Mentally shaking her head, she absentmindedly ran a hand through her dark hair.

"Calm down Kagome," She said quietly, her voice soothing.

Kagome just stared at her, still worried.

A weary sigh escaped Kaname's lips as she pulled her sister in a gentle embrace. Murmuring soothing words, she reassured Kagome that everything would be fine. That she would be there for her.

After a few minutes, Kagome finally calmed down. Smiling weakly, she thanked her younger sibling for comforting her.

"Don't worry…we'll be fine…" Kaname reassured her, smiling encouragingly. 'I think' She added to herself, not daring to say it aloud and worry her sister again.

Kagome sighed. "Okay."

"We better confront grandmother about this matter," Kaname said calmly.

Kagome grinned and linked arms with her sister. "Forward, march!"

Kaname laughed at her antics but she didn't pull away her arm. Together, they walked towards the house they considered home—the white mansion where they had grown up.

---Inside the Higurashi Mansion---

An old woman stared down at the beautiful courtyard from her study room's window. Her eyes sparkl ed in amusement when she saw her two granddaughters walking towards the house, arms linked together.

'So…they finally found out…'

She smiled to herself. 'This should be…interesting…I wonder what their reactions would be when they find out who I had hired to be their bodyguards…'

A low chuckle escaped her lips. They would be shocked.

Author's notes:

Okay, their grandmother will be introduced on the next chapter. The bodyguards shall also be introduced on the next chapter although they'll meet the twins on the third chapter.
