*Kagome are you ready for bed?

"Yes Daddy!" Said a six year old Kagome as she plopped into her bed.

It was a cool Autumn night as the Father and daughter watched the leaves blow gently in the cool breeze. Rio wrapped his arms around his daughter and kissed her gently on the forehead.

"You should go to sleep honey, you need your rest"

Kagome pouted and quickly shook her head which had two adorable pigtails in them. "No Daddy, I wanna wait on Mommy to come!"

A surge of pain went through Rio's eyes. "Mommy wouodnt want you to wait up all night honey and besides, mommy can always visit you in your dreams"

Kagomes eyes glimmered with fascination. "How Daddy! I wanna see mommy! I miss her so much!"

"I know you do honey, its not a certain time though, she comes and visit you in your dreams when she is able to"

"Ohhh... So that means I should get to sleep! I might miss her when she visits me!" Kagome quickly got under the covers and attempted to go to sleep.

Rio chuckled lightly. "Baby you won't miss her, she will always be there"*

Kagome gasped silently as she immediately sat up from her vivid memory. She calmed her racing heart and looked around her surroundings. *where am I?*

She was in a plush king bed that had silk gold sheets and a blood red satin comforter. The room was circular and large, two large paintings we hung on each side if the room. The walls were pearl white with gold lining and the ceiling had artwork of angels which remembled that of Michael Angelo.

*Is this heaven?* thought Kagome as she admired her gorgeous room.

She looked down and saw that she was wearing a loose white kimono but, she could feel that her body was still filthy from the abuse she had sustained. Just then her door opened and a nice looking man entered her room. He had to be in his early twenties and was about six foot even. He had sandy Brown hair which looked very neat and had mysterious hazel eyes that held comfort and sincerity to them.

"Oh, your awake now" Said the man as he placed some towels onto her bed.

"Where am I? Who are you? How did I get here?"

The man smiled. "I am Lee your care giver until your health returns, you are at the Royal Palace in the Takahashi kingdom, and you were abducted by an evil man and the King saved all of you" Lee exhaled with a wide smile.

Kagome looked confused. "Your joking right?"

"Afraid not my lady. It took two days to return to the royal palace and this is your first night here. During those two days you were in and out of conciousness."

"I see" *There has to be some kind of mistake, I don't want to ne here, I don't need to be here! He might have saved us but, that does not excuse what he did to my clan three years ago!* Thought Kagome as she tried to keep calm and maintain her rage and hatred.

He laughed politely. "And I was just about to come and bathe you"

Kagome blushed a bright red. "Yeah I think I can handle that"

Lee blushed also and mentally cursed himself for saying that. "Well, we have some very nice and soothing hot springs in one of the less used gardens, you are free to use it if you wish"

Kagome smiled brightly. "That sounds wonderful! That's exactly what I need!" Kagome quickly got out of the comfortable bed and it hit her. "My kimono!" She looked frantically around the room.

"Oh, I'm sorry" Lee bent down for a moment and searched under the bed and retrieved her once radiant kimono. "Usually I would throw away old torn clothing but, this kimono is very valuable, I could tell by the fabric so I saved it for you"

Kagome exhaled deeply and gave Lee a big hug. "Thank you so much!" While hugging him she smelled her own body odor and immediately released him. "Sorry, I usually don't smell this bad" laughed Kagome as she scratched the back of her head.

"It's fine my lady, I can escort you to the garden if you like"

"That would be nice" Said Kagome with a sweet smile. "I'll just be a minute"

Lee nodded politely and exited the room.

Kagome quickly grabbed her kimono off her bed and went within her secret compartment. She removed the Shikon no Tama and examined it carefully. It had been at least a good month since she had last purified the jewel and it was starting to become a dark purple color. She closed her eyes and squeezed the jewel tightly in her hand. A bright burst of radiant hues of white and pink appeared and the once dark purple jewel was now a shimmery pink. She placed the jewel back inside of her kimono and hid it back under the bed.


Dear Kaede,

I have successfully rescued the women that were being held captive by Jimo, I also have met your little pride and joy Kagome. Well, not officially at least, she sustained some injuries and was out of it for a while. I intend to let her write to you as well once her strength bas returned.

Sincerely,

Inuyasha Takahashi


Sesshomaru sat in his private quarters as he awaited for his wife to return from the bathing quarters. He had been looking over the castle while Inuyasha went out on the mission to save the women.

*I have to admit, Inuyasha is doing quite well ruling as a king, maybe I should start expecting more from him, he has continued to prevail despite being a half-breed However, the council and the people still hold little to no respect to and for him. He shall have to settle that on his own time*

"My lord did you hear me?" Said a soft voice.

Sesshomaru turned to see his beautiful wife. She was Wearing a loose peach colored kimono that was cut into a deep V neck. It was quite flattering and it kept Sesshomarus attention. Her long hair was in a neat high bun and she smelled like fresh flowers.

He smiled sweetly at her and motioned for her to sit on his lap and she did. "My Lord, is everything okay? You seemed to be in deep thought"

"Everything is fine Rin" he held her close and stared into her big brown eyes. Rin blushed and quickly took her eyes from his golden orbs. His eyes were so soft and caring now, whenever he was around anyone else his wall immediately went up and all everyone could see was the mean, cold, and uncaring Sesshomaru. However, everything changed when he was with Rin.

Sesshomaru noticed this. "Do you fear me?" He asked in a soft tone almost airy.

Rin shook her head. "No my lord! You just... make me very nervous at times" she turned a pretty shade of pink. "I am still shy of you, even though we know each other so well"

Sesshomaru smiled at her, something that she absolutely loved. "I love you" Rin was so precious to him, she was everything that he wanted, needed, and dreamed of. He loved how innocent and sweet she was, he could admit that she was the only woman that he truly ever loved.

"I love you too"Said Rin as his eyes melted into her very soul.

He kissed her passionately then, it was demanding yet loving and gentle. Sesshomaru continued to kiss Rin as he slowly trailed his claws up her legs, then her thigh, then her inner thighs.

"Sesshomaru" moaned Rin as he began to place delicate kisses on her collarbone and chest.

Clears throat "huumphh!"

Rin and Sesshomaru stopped dead in their tracks as they saw Inuyasha standing by the door with his arms crossed over his chest looking very casual. He tried to hold the toothy grin on his face but, it failed miserably.

Rin turner red as a tomato and quickly hopped off of Sesshomaru. "Please forgive me" she squeaked as she nearly ran out of the room.

Sesshomaru groaned as his once soft loving face turned cold and uncaring. "Invading ones personal space and life is truly unhealthy little brother"

Inuyasha smirked. "Who knew sweet lil ole Rin had a bad girl side to her"

Sesshomaru frowned and looked highly irritated. "I believe she is my wife and that is perfectly acceptable in the privacy of our own room now, what do you want?"

Inuyasha came farther into the room. "I wanna know when this Queen stuff will start, I wanna get it over with already."

Sesshomaru smirked. "Since you are so eager, we shall start tomorrow morning. You shall meet a new woman for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and one more at midnight. You decide which ones stay and which ones leave"

Inuyasha groaned. "Fine, the sooner the better"


Nolan and Naraku walked alongside each other as they made their way to the kings quarters to inform him of the 100 year that of law that needed 'renewing'

*All of the Higurashi are not to be harmed by law of Inu'Tashio Takahashi but, they are not to be trusted to the full extent. Visit the clans every 100 year's to make sure everything is in order and no deception is being formed.

Signed into law by, Rohn Gohn

Reigning King, Inu'Tashio Takahashi*

"Don't seem too eager otherwise he'll know something is up" Said Nolan as the two walked down the dimly lit hallway.

Naraku nodded his head. "Once we get his approval we can raid the remaining Higurashi clans and find the Shikon no Tama. We shall be beyond powerful with it in our possession"

Just as they were about to turn the corner and enter the Kings private wing of the castle Miroku came around the corner as well.

The two men looked surprised. "Miroku, fancy meeting you here" Said Nolan with a charming smirk.

Miroku returned the smirk. "Same to you, I assume you are looking for the King?"

"Yes, we have come to bring some important business to his attention" Said Naraku.

Miroku looked at them rather oddly. "What might that be?"

The two men got silent then. *Dammit Naraku you always have to run your mouth!* Thought Nolan."I was going through some laws and I noticed that one has not been enforced properly. The law that states that the Takahashi kingdom should visit the Higurashi clans every 100 year's" confessed Nolan.

Miroku nodded his head. "Yes, that is correct but, that might have to be postponed. Inuyasha must get ready to begin the difficult task of finding his Queen. He cannot afford to leave the castle now"

"That is correct and I am fully aware of that however, I and Naraku can easily complete the long overdue task, this cannot go unlooked otherwise the council and the people would think the royal castle are not handling their duties and responsibilities. Nolan chuckled lightly. "We wouldn't want that now would we?"

Miroku looked skeptical. "What ever happens, happens. At the end of the day he will still be king and the people will listen and obey." Miroku eyeballed him. "You wouldn't have a problem with that right?"

Nolan eyes flashed with anger. *How dare he speak to me like that* "No, I do not but, I shall still inform the King."

Miroku stopped smiling then and looked serious. "Gonna have to do that another time, he's not in his chambers."

"Well, we shall take our leave then" Said Naraku. "Good night my Lord"

Miroku said nothing in return as he and Nolan still held each others intense glares.

*It's been three years and you still seem as sneaky as ever, their up to something and I'm gonna find out* Thought Miroku.


"It's right along that cobble stone pathway behind those bushes, you can't miss it" Said Lee as he handed Kagome a large white towl and a simple pale yellow kimono.

She bowed politely. "I appreciate all of you help" she then proceeded out of the sliding doors that led to the garden.

She gasped as she took in the stunning sight. The night was dark but, the entire garden sparkled with bright green fireflies. She noticed the perfectly aligned rose bushes and the large cherry blossom trees that lined the cobble stone pathway. It was beautiful to say the least, whomever the Gardner was spent a lot of time and effort making it flawless.

Kagome slowly walked along the pathway which led to the hot spring. *I'm actually in my arch nemesis home, gotta admit its gorgeous here* She made a left turn and soon found herself being closed in by bushes and trees like Lee said. *The memories will always stay with me from that horrid day, the day he killed everyone in the clan, women and children included.* Kagome felt hot tears burn like acid on her cheeks. *He shall feel my wrath, he shall feel my pain, my suffering, I shall never forgive him.*

Just then Kagome saw a thick amount of steam in the air and she went a little farther and discovered the hot spring. However, it was already accompanied by someone else.

Kagome looked at the woman while she quickly wiped away her vengeful tears. "I'm sorry, I was unaware that it was already accompanied" she promptly turned around and prepared to leave.

"No!" Said the woman as she rose half way out of the water. "Please, come join me"

Kagome gave a small smile. "Okay" She slowly began to undress and she could feel the woman's eyes roam curiously over her body. Kagome slowly stepped into the water and sighed in relaxation.

"Your one of the women who was being held captive? Right?"

Kagome gave a small uncomfortable nod

The woman was quite the looker, she had to be in her early twenties with dark brown hair that was down to her middle back. Her skin was slightly tanned and her eyes were chestnut Brown. Kagome couldn't help but notice how nice her body was too, she was perfectly toned and Kagome assumed that she had to work out to get those kinds of results.

The woman gasped. "Forgive me for being so rude!" She extended her hand towards Kagome. "I'm Sango Hioshi"

Kagome shook hers. "I'm Kagome-" She paused. *Should I tell her my last name? What if they find out and try to kill me?* "Kagome Satou"

"It's nice to meet you" Said Sango with a bright smile.

Kagome grabbed her wash cloth and began scrubbing her filthy skin. "So, do you reside here?"

"Yes, I am actually from the Taija demon fighting village on the very edge of the kingdom. But, I soon married the love of my life, Miroku and now we reside in the castle."

*That explains her body, she had stay in shape in order to fight demons* "Miroku" Said Kagome as she began to wash her face.

"Yes, he and Inuyasha along with the other knights rescued you all"

"I was unconscious when they freed us, I actually can't remember a thing!" Kagome giggled. "Who is this Inuyasha?"

Sango gently touched Kagomes tangled hair and began to apply a sweet smelling shampoo into it. "He is the King but, you can call him Inuyasha in private he won't mind"

Kagome continued to wash her body as she allowed Sango to was her hair. "What kind of man is he?" Asked Kagome with little emotion.

Sango appeared to be in thought. "Well" Kagome looked at the girl as she searched for the right words. "Well, he's rude, mean, and uncaring"

Kagome didn't looked surprised. "Oh, I was expecting that"

Sango wanted to know the meaning for such a reply but, she didn't push her. "However, he's reliable, nice to certain people, strong, caring, and a loyal friend. The longer you know him the more he begins to trust you and you will see his true feelings and personality."

The two women stayed in the springs for another thirty minutes and Kagome was happy that she was finally clean. As the women began to depart from the spring Sango could truly see the young lady that was under the dirt and filth. She was amazingly gorgeous. Her skin wae that similar to creamy white and her body had filled out completely, along with having the perfect curves to match. Her hair was long and thick and stopped just at the middle of her back as it began to curl slightly from the water. Her face was soft yet drew in attention unintentionally, her lips were full, her eyes were like two giant barrels of melted chocolate. This girl was the the definition of true beauty. As they dried off Sango got a very good look at her face and one person instantly came to mind.

*Kikyo*

They resembled one another to a tee but, Sango had to admit Kagome looked better than her and had a better personality.

"You by any chance wouldnt happen to be related to Kikyo, would you?"

Kagomes eyebrow went up. "You mean the queen Kikyo?" She laughed. "Of course not silly"

Sango shot her the same look. "You are aware that she is no longer the queen, right?"

Kagome looked surprised. "No, I wasn't aware of that"

Sango began to slip on her purple kimono. "That's why you along with the other women are here for"

Kagome looked confused. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"Your basically competing for the kings heart, he has to find a new queen to rule by his side"

A flash of shock and anger overtook Kagome. "Whoa! There's some kind of misunderstanding, I don't want to be here, nor do I want to compete for his heart!"

Sango looked offended. "Well, there's not much you can do about it, I didn't know you held so much dislike for the king"

Kagome remained silent for a moment. Of course she dislike the king, Hell she loathed the king! He had taken everyone and everything away from her in a single night. She had painfully lost her mother then she horrifically lost her father and clan at his hands. She wanted nothing to do with him, she didn't even want to see his face.

"It's late" Kagome began as she avoided Sango's last inquiry. "I just need some time to think is all"

Sango smiled. "He's not as bad as everyone makes him out to be, he has a heart just like everyone else." Sango picked up her belongings and as did Kagome. "I'll walk you back to your room"

"Thanks" Said Kagome with a sweet smile. She actually liked Sango and believed that this was the beginning of a bright friendship.

The women made their way back to the castle and casually chatted along the way.


The room was pitch black and the heat was intolerable. Jimo rested his head on his shoulder as he sat on the cool stone floor while he was bound to the wall securely by iron shackles on his now red and irritated wrists.

*Damn, I really did it this time. I can't lie, cheat, or steal my way outta this.*

Just then the heavy wooden door opened and the knight with the Brown eyes entered the room. With a small bucket in hand he allowed Jimo to greedily drink from it.

"Where is the food at around here?" Asked Jimo as he gulped down the remaining water. The knight said nothing in return. "As crappy as this might seem, I'm glad you are standing guard over me, your captain could have killed me back at my estate but, you stopped him."

The knight looked somewhat offended. "Please, do not look at me as a savior, I am only guarding you because I have orders to, I am only giving you water because in three days you will be going to face judgment and the Royal council from your treacherous deeds and the king will kill you then. Think of me bringing you water as a parting gift, not as in feeling pity or wanting to help you."

The knight stood up and proceeded to the door.

"Wait!" Cried Jimo as he struggled to turn his body to the direction of the door.

The knight stopped but, did not face him.

"What's your name?"

The knight stood still for a moment as he mentally had a debate with himself. He then took off his head armor and turned around to face Jimo.

Jimo took in all of his features and came to the conclusion that he looked oddly fimilar, he didn't know why but, it seemed as though he had known someone that held very similar features.

"My name is Rio" and with that he promptly exited the room.


Kagome and Sango had a nice time chatting with one another and soon found out that they had a lot in common. They walked for a few more minutes and found themselves outside of Kagomes bedroom.

"Well, this is me" Said Kagome casually as she opened her bedroom door and invited Sango in.

"Wow" Said Sango as she stared at the elegant room. "Inuyasha really outdid himself"

"What makes you say that?" Said Kagome as she plopped down on her king sized bed.

"For starters you have your own room and a stunning one at that, the other women are five to a room and there not as flashy as this one"

Kagome looked uninterested. "They probably just got my room mixed up, nothing to get over excited about"

Sango grinned. "I highly doubt that, the rest of the women are ALL in the south wing of the castle, you are in the North end of the castle."

"What about it"

"Inuyasha's chambers is only about 5 minutes away from here, your both in the same wing, not even the council members live in this wing, I and Miroku don't either."

Kagome eyeballed Sango. "What are you getting at?"

"He put you in this wing for a reason, Inuyasha is childish but, he does things purposely. He put you in this wing to visit you whenever he wanted to" Said Sango while giggling sweetly.

Kagome blushed a light shade of pink. "I think your imagining things Sango"

Sango smiled. "I think you will be singing a different tune about Inuyasha real soon, just watch!"

Kagome said nothing in return but, simply gave a small smile.

*If only you knew the horrid deed he participated in, the nightmares he caused, the pain I've felt, If only you knew Sango*


And there it is! The knight was indeed drum roll... Rio! Lol. In chapter two after the Knights killed everyone (tear) he was the only one still alive. (Except for Kagome) Inuyasha was going to kill him but, Miroku intervened and saved his life. As a result he was forced to serve in the royal army as one of the most skilled and elite knights in the entire kingdom. I added that PG13 moment with Rin and Sesshomaru, I think they are a perfect couple and I love his cold demeanor and Rins bubbly one! They are also my second favorite couple and I thought the story could use a little ounce of humor lol. And as you can see the scheming continues with Nolan and Naraku. Yup, and I have something very fitting in mind for Jimo muhaww haha! Lol. (Evil laugh) and do you guys think Inuyasha Purposely put Kagome in his private wing of the castle? We shall find out his true intentions in the next chapter!:) Please R&R I love your opinions! Adios!:-)
