The town house was quite… boring.

It was nice, don't get her wrong, but Kagome was too in the capital, and her expression soured as her butler went to work to fix tea and a few scones for her before she went off to bed.

Her footfalls sounded as she made her way over to the closest drawing room.

The burns on her body—visible and hidden—tingles as she let her mind wander once she was able to get off of her feet.

The mauve bauble, the bane of her existence, of Kikyou and Midoriko's existence, tried to belie its cruelty – giving off a gently pure light. The smooth surface allowed it to easily roll around her palms.

Her blue eyes trained on the Shikon no Tama, the world around her falling away from her consciousness—however, she could still feel the eyes of the survivors on her person.

Awaiting for her to make a decision.

The light intensified from the inside, however, only she noticed it – a scream was forced out of her person. The survivors were sent on edge immediately.

"Kagome!"

"Lady Kagome!"

What was happening?

Her very soul thrummed with agony, much worse than having it forcibly taken from her. The teenager couldn't prevent this by simply having too large of a soul – no, her very powers were being drained, drawing them from her soul.

Her pupils contracted as her world faded to black.

"Mistress, the white tea and scones are done."

The black-haired woman blinked up at her bowing butler, "Oh, thank you Bryan."

"You're quite welcome, my lady."

Kagome smiled at the man, it was comforting to have a level-headed man for a butler.

"If I may, mistress."

She tiled her head, "You may."

She watched as Bryan left the room for a moment, before returning with a child's blush toy, "This is a new toy by the Funtom Company."

"Oh~" Kagome held her hands out for it, reveling in the soft texture of the toy's self, "Thank you, Bryan."

The butler bowed, "You're welcome, my lady."

The young woman hummed as she held the toy in one hand, the other feeding herself.


I'm trying to not make this boring, but they are snipets and as they go on, more will be revealed~
