Northern Kingdom
"Congratulations, It's a boy!" Called a happy nurse. The queen was relieved to say the least. It had been eighteen years since she had to give away her baby girl, but now the Kingdom has an heir!
"Alert my husband at once!" She yelled cheerfully.
"Yes My Lady." The nurse then scrambled off in search of the Lord of The Northern Lands.
The room quickly emptied out leaving only the queen, her baby boy, and the older nurse.
"His name will be Souta." She declared. The nurse looked at her worrie painted in her eyes.
"My lady, May I ask you a question?" The nurse looked up at her.
"Of course." Souta cooed happily as the queen nursed him.
"Why was Kagome sent away...?" The nurse wasn't sure if she should be asking such a personal question, but poor baby Kagome, sent away the first moment of her life.
The queen sighed.
"Let me tell you a story..." The nurse nodded and sat on the rocking chair in the corner of the room.
"Before my husband was in power, before his father, his father's father, there was a ruler. He was the first of the Higurashi's to come into power." The queen stroked Souta's hair.
"Lord Higurashi the first was a terribly unkind man. He would slaughter innocent demons just because he did not like there kind. Then one day, he held his sword to the neck of a beautiful women. She had long flowing gold hair that pooled around her, and bright green eyes. She was a goddess." The nurse took the sleeping baby from the queen. After she put him in the crib, the story contuined.
"The lady did not once beg for mercy like the others, and this angered Lord Higurashi. Instead, she sang him a poem,
Sing me a song, oh little lady
The north it will fall
Oh little lady
With my death it comes
Oh little lady
One of your own
Oh little lady
The kingdom will fall.
By the Hand of a lady
First that is born
Oh little lady
"Lord Higurashi slaughtered her just as the last note left her mouth. Little did he know that the song was a warning. The warning said, If you should killed me, then one of your own will bring down the Northern Kingdom. This will be the first lady of the house, that is born." The nurse understood now.
"Thank you ma'am." The queen smiled just as a cheerful laugh was heard. In through the giant wood doors a man burst in. The queen smiled at her husband.
"The gods smile down upon this room!" He boasted. When the queen had first told him that there first child had died, he was devestated. He barley spoke for weeks. Eventually he started being him old self and eighteen years later, there baby boy was born.
The King hugged his wife happily, but she couldn't help but feel guility. What if she condemed them all?

The sun was hanging high in the sky. Kagome was laying outside on a grass hill next to her best friend Sango. Kagome still couldn't believe that just yesterday she sang in front of Sesshoumaru! It was amazing, but still nerve wrecking.
"Kagome! I still can't believe that every maid has the day off!" Kagome smiled at her friend. That was another thing. Soon after, Sesshoumaru declared that today all servants could do whatever. Kagome couldn't help but think she had something to do with it.
"Sango, Let's go pick flowers!" Kagome stood up and started running down the hill. She missed the mid day air. It was riviting!
"Hey! Wait up!" Sango chased after her. The sound of theire laughter echoed throughout the valley and into the ears of a prowling demon.
It was watching them from the shadows. The demon licked it's lips hungrily. It hadn't tasted human flesh in a long time. Now it was waiting.
The girls were picking flowers in the wild field. No one else was around them, it was peaceful.
"Sango!" A voice called from the distance. Sango use her hand to block the sun, then squinted at the voice. It was Ami, one of the other maids.
"Come here Sango! Come look at this!" Sango started raceing towards Ami but then stopped and faced Kagome.
"Go ahead Sango, I'll be fine!" Her friend reassured her. With that invite, she ran off.

Sesshoumaru didn't have a clue as to what was wrong with him. He gave every maid the day off and now he was bored. He had already kicked the crap out of Inuyasha in the dojo, but now, there was nothing.
And so he went outside. The smell of flowers overtook his nose and he sneezed. How un prince like, to sneeze in public. His hair was flowing gracefully behind him.
He felt at ease. Until he saw that maid. Not the one with the beautiful voice. But the one who is friends with her.
He could of swore they were together an hour ago. But now she was gone. He was tempted to ask, but that would provoke curiousity, and he didn't want that.
And so Sesshoumaru walked. He was trying to pick up her scent, but the smell of flowers was stuffing up his senses.
He must of walked all the way to the Western border before he picked up her scent. Why was she so far out here? Especially as a human women, with no form of protection.
If she was in trouble, no one would know it.
I won't go find her, I already made a fool of myself last night. He told himself. Which was true. No prince had ever cleaned with a maid. Ever. Sesshoumaru turned to leave until her heard an ear piercing scream.
It's her! He concluded and sprinted towards the sound. When he burst through the bushes his eyes met with another demons.
This demon was huge, shaped like a panther. fangs as long as broom sticks. Eyes blood shot. Sesshoumaru noticed that it's ribs were showing. It was starving, but why go after a human? There was plently of prey.
"Why are you in my lands demon." Sesshoumaru spat out. He could see that maid cowering on the ground behind the beast, basket of flowers sprawled all over the ground.
"Like you hadn't already guessed!" The demon retaliated.
"You are crossing boundries. You reside in the Northern Land, not the Western!" Oh he was pissed. Not only had he threatened one of his residents, but tried to hunt on his land. HIS!
"The Northern Kingdom, HAHA. What a joke. They banished us. All of us. Demons everywhere." A flash of sorrow ran over the demon's features. But Sesshoumaru was more concerned with the reason why.
"Why." He asked. It wasn't like him, to be so curious. But something about the way he spoke of it. It intrigued him.
"Because, we are filth, is what the guards yelled at us. At first it was a joke to all the Youkai, but then they cut off our food supply. Killing all of the lesser demons. When that didn't work, they resorted to black magic. We were all baffeled. How could mere humans controll that kind of power." The demons looked troubled.
"What kind of black magic?" The demon was not threatning anymore. He was just lost.
"Like nothing I had ever seen before. It was a huge mist of black smoke that would tumble towards a demon. Once you were inside of it, you were dead. There was no struggle, there was nothing. The smoke vanished and nothing was left. Nothing." Sesshoumaru was disgusted. Is this how the Northern Land was trying to provoke war. He had to tell his father at once.
"Leave, and you will live." It was not a choice for the demon, it sprung towards the forest and never glanced back.
"Thank you." Came a small voice. Sesshoumaru had almost forgotten about the maid that was laying on the ground. He walked over to her.
"Tell me maid, what is your name?" He finally asked.
"Kagome." She replied. she was overwhelmed with happiness. He had asked her name. That was a step in the right direction, right?
"Well Kagome, I think it's time we go back." Kagome smiled and something struck Sesshoumaru. He couldn't help but admire her smile. It was wonderful! So he smiled back.
And she almost died right then and there.
