(RedDestiny92: Do you ever write something, get kind of proud of it then leave it and come back and wonder why anyone else liked it? I do this all the time which is part of why some things just don't get finished. Well this isn't a rewrite or anything just using a couple I have before.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, you know that, moving on :D

Warnings: AU, language, adult themes, OOC, OC, dark themes...etc.

Notes: Same as always really need Sessh with two arms,...I'll add something if I need to. Also I was on another site for these stories but I long since stopped using it. I felt bad about clogging up the site so I deleted my stories there...not sure where I was even going with some of those. So this idea may have been used before I don't even remember.)

Prologue

"You shouldn't slouch ma'am."

Kagome shifted on her bed not in the least interested in what Toran had to say she was laying in her simple studio on her knees hunched over a book. The woman stood in a neat white suite with her hair pulled into a ponytail next to Kagome in the plain room dressed in sweatpants and an oversized shirt she appeared to be the heiress.

"Does it matter...?"

She huffed.

"Of course it matters."

She raised an eyebrow.

"But it's only us here."

She sighed and put her hands on her hips.

"Your mother sent me here to prepare you for your meeting."

"I can get ready on my own."

"But would you go?"

"You and I both know the answer to that."

"Ma'am please."

She sighed.

"Fine fine."

Kagome rolled over on the oversized pillow that was behind her, no she wouldn't she really couldn't be bothered wasn't like they were dying for an heir to what was left of their family. Things were fine just like this. She moved to get out of the bed and yawned as she walked past the bed and into the kitchen to make some coffee. While she could be a little laid back and impossible as her mother would say she kept her apartment clean and dressed in only the best. She often did plenty for the family but kept it to herself.

She absently lit a cigarette her mother never could be proud of anything she did she learned to accept that would never change so no point in trying more than she had to. Toran watched her she had always been a pretty girl. She struggled with weight for a few years, before she went through a rather thin stage right when she was taken from her family.

She frowned taking a puff for the longest she only lived with mama Kyoko and grandpa Heero with her brother Souta. Then when she was ten, and he was seven they were picked up and told they hadn't been with their real family, given up without a fight they were kept in a different room for hours and things changed. She glanced down at her nails she kept them trimmed but they always grew out to the same claws she ripped through the door with. There was a single purple mark ending in a small swirl on her right cheek and another straight claw mark across the other. Completing her change for her more human form.

She always covered them with make up.

It wasn't a muturity spell that kept them hidden, her mother still hadn't bothered, in the fifteen years they'd been with them, to tell them what it was for. She insisted it was a story for after she was married and took the proper role as the heiress to the family. At the moment for her luck her 'dear' mother was the face of the family.

She still handled paperwork, went to the meetings, and had the traditional sparring matches with the other members of the little circle. Though there were always things she could get out of, she didn't understand it one bit, why they had to go but she wished they could have stayed.

Though when she thought that she felt bitter, they gave them away without a fight, knew it was coming her supposed mother didn't shed a tear, grandpa just went back to reading the paper. She wondered if it was all an act if they were just prepared for it, or never cared and only acted as they were paid to, to watch them.

It didn't matter she had years to get used to it as she told herself.

"Your mother wants you to wear a dress."

She glanced at her.

"What for?"

"Marriage meeting."

She smiled slightly and Toran sighed.

"Shorts and tennis shoes?"

"Right I think I have those cut offs I made in the back of the closet."

She took another drag and put the cigarette out before running to get ready, Toran smiled slightly a human saw a purposely disobedient child. A demon saw the future head of the family choosing for themselves, her mother was particular but she couldn't control her forever. That was weakness.

"Oh...she's expecting a date so if you pick heels might want to save yourself and bring flats too." especially if she'd be on her feet all day.

Wasn't really an issue for her but she wasn't much for heels always preferring to avoid the heels though she practiced moving in them. After one too many small parties in the traditional demon lady yukata ended with her flat on her face she at least tried. Tugging a long sleeveless shirt on with a black waist length jacket she was ready. Toran had made some toast for her it wasn't much not for her more demonic appetite. That was one benefit and Kagome did love to eat, it would do she walked out tugging her hair into a high pony tail as Toran rushed out lock the door behind her. With her siblings she had been her guard for the entire time she had rejoined the Higurashi clan they were as much friends as anything else.

As much as they respected her father they respected her, she was a lot more like her father than she thought. He was mostly hands off with different deals, yes for the view caught in front of the humans there was a lot of paperwork and while what they thought was pretend to keep up with tradition in Tokyo...real fights were included. He had other duties to keep an eye on, even after she took her role he had been part of the demon world much longer no matter how strong she got he wouldn't throw her to wolves...so to speak.

They sprinted down the steps Kagome was sure it would be another fruitless meeting, she had been named the choosiest...read most stuck up...demon princess that the modern times had to offer. Still she would reject every option she did understand that at one point she'd have to have children but she was at the age that most demons stopped aging. She was still young to humans no need for the demon elders to resort to spells to convince them they had always been youthful. By all means she was still young and there was no need to rush.

That was something her father agreed on, of course not her mother.

Not that it mattered what she thought.

…...

Their destination was a large silver building, it was mostly an event center so it was fitted with what was needed for parties and speeches. Mostly it was empty, nice enough and neutral territory. It was where they would move to their actual destination and end the 'party'.

"Ah Sesshomaru! How is my old friend?"

Kouga stood with his hair free in a neat gray suit and wide grin he was handsome alright, more tolerable than some but he was often considered an air head at least to demons. He could be almost as friendly to humans as he was with certain demons. Though it was nothing to look down on he held himself high there was no reason to threaten anyone less than him, but he had proved many times he wasn't the one to be fucked with. That almost made him likeable, however he didn't care what anyone thought of him. He paused as the plump dark haired man got between them, this was Jaken's form that is it was a spell to make him appear as such he adjusted his glasses.

"Careful who you freely approach wolf my lord doesn't wish to be bothered."

Sesshomaru didn't even acknowledge that they were talking about him he went without his mokomoko normally when he was with the humans. He didn't understand their desire to touch it but he didn't want anyone getting close and Jaken was really only useful for blocking one person at a time. He preferred to do business with demons but these modern times could even eat one like him alive if he didn't learn to adapt and that just didn't sit well with him.

Brushing non-existent lint off his red suit jacket he shifted while his brother had given up on his hair, something most dogs were known for he had chosen to keep his silvery locks in a thick braid kept over his shoulder. At least no one mixed them up from behind...it happened many times before. His brother was roaming around in a blue suit ears hidden with a hat, probably flirting with little whore.

He came on request from their mother but he had no interest in getting married he even cheated on Kikyo when it suited him. Sesshomaru glanced down he never thought when his parents announced that they'd be getting a divorce he'd accept a freshly changed woman as his mother. Inutaisho insisted on doing a blood ceremony with her, it didn't always work even with purebloods but it was harmless enough to try. She took to his blood though, she was still only a half demon but he didn't have to worry about her dropping dead easily as humans normally would...compared to demons anyways.

The woman grew on him, she was so different from Inukimi, sure it was easy for her to pick up the ways of their people she was just as proud as if she'd been born into the family. That was just for show, she kept the softness to her, everytime he was around them she showed again and again why his father preferred her to his mother. He sighed he was getting soft he knew it their sister Rin's birth may have had something to do with that even. She loved their father but she was closest it seemed to him, when he was younger he might have minded, now he didn't, he spoiled her rotten too.

Sighing as he looked up sensing another arrival.

They turned as Naraku came he had straigthened his hair some of his fans said he looked like the dark version of Sesshomaru. Something he hated he was always dressed all in black same smirk in place behind him in a pink suit his assistant Kagura she blushed seeing Sesshomaru she always favored him. Though money driven she kept to Naraku's side, she was sure that he could pay just as well but he didn't make an offer, she could at least stare at him.

Just as they stopped in front of him Ginta and Hakkaku ran in behind him they were good friends but he often left them behind not like he needed personal attendants. He often told them to just enjoy themselves when they traveled with them, they were too loyal for their own good sometimes. It was good to have someone at your side sometimes at least for meetings like this an extra assistant could prove useful.

"I'm surprised you're both here." Naraku said ignoring the wolves.

"Don't see why." Inuyasha said as he arrived with Miroku and Sango from beyond the hall that led to the bathrooms.

Kagura gave her a dirty look seeing they wore the same skirt...she was petty like that.

Their father picked them to be with him he did have more love for his sons than some would show he wanted to make sure there was always an extra line to them.

"And you're here too halfbreed."

He grit his teeth.

"You're one to talk."

"I've been working a lot longer than you have I have the strength you're missing mutt."

Kouga smirked as Sesshomaru absently raised an arm to stop him from moving.

"Don't waste time Inuyasha." he said lowly.

In just a moment more cars arrived Kouga sighed as the pale pink limo arrived, only one of them would be caught owning one. Ayame jumped out though she didn't often wear pink she had several accessories as she called them that always had to be the color. She was in a rather bright yellow dress with her hair up in curls she didn't wait for the door to be opened she went right at Kouga. He wouldn't take her hand but she was sure if she just kept pestering him he'd break eventually. It wasn't that he didn't like her so much as he wanted to keep his freedom as long as possible. Truth be told they were lucky they didn't have any kids he still met for sex after all.

He knew it was his fault for leading her on but that didn't make it stop, how he felt or what needs he let her take care of.

Another limo arrived a normal black one though a bit smaller than the others to her credit she wasn't a complete good for nothing whore. Kikyo had her own money but she was no princess, he was surprised she was there but as far as he knew Inukimi invited her he didn't know why she pestered she wasn't his mother..he glanced at Sesshomaru thinking she wanted him to take her. Ayame frowned seeing the beauty in a long purple dress. Something right out of a catalog not the dress but her, she'd say it was unfair to label her as such but really she did throw herself at Inuyasha to get closer to the money that came with him she called it strategy others called it how it was.

She moved to stand between Naraku and Inuyasha, he examined the backless dress she wore he had a few nights with her. He thought Inuyasha was an idiot for bothering with her at all, at least on a long term basis if she wanted to be used then by all means. He wasn't alone in thinking that, where Inuyasha thought he was in charge he gave in to her requests much easier than he was willing to see. Her sister Kaede joined her.

Tsubaki was next in a 'dress' that was mostly ribbons covering only where it mattered it was so tight it left little to the imagination, behind her Sara they were without assistants, Sara tugged at her plain black dress feeling underdressed even the ruffled silk of a mess that Ayame put on was flashier than her's was.

The marriage meeting was not just for Kagome obviously, it was an informal meeting...though from the dress code it wasn't obvious. There were even a few less well known demons there with small bits of land they were in charge of. As for the main group women with money or status meeting the heirs of demon families. Inutaisho was of course different having a say in two estates he had two heirs so Inuyasha had to be there whether he wanted to be or not.

The last was Kaguya with her mostly silent assistant Kanna both in red, Kanna didn't care for the flash but Kaguya intended to stand up her gown stood out. This was not the final meeting place but it was where it started they weren't completely over dressed demons did love to stand out. As a few others showed up the simple chatting picked up. Some demons claiming less breeding than they did speaking loudly.

They were to leave through the portal at midnight for now the windows were open humans could only see from the outside trying to get pictures. Sesshomaru frowned...groupies, ugh.

It was nearly an hour later when they saw a plain white bug appear, Toran always felt out of place but Kagome insisted on going without all the show. She didn't care if she stood out one bit, most of them kept to meetings she had managed to avoid they knew her mother who would keep anyone from seeing her small fights aside from humans she wanted to fill the world with gossip about her daughter to make leaders a little more curious. While they weren't pushed to get married at first it had definitely worked more demons wanted to meet her now she put her foot down.

Toran got out first seeing that Kagome had dozed off.

"So it's finally time to meet the hidden Higurashi daughter." Kagura said.

"How do you know that's her?" Inuyasha asked.

"And what is she like to show up like that...does she have no class?" Kikyo muttered, as if she was one to talk.

"I've never met Toran personally but as she got older she became the main guard for her, I'm told the lady never goes to meetings."

"Sounds like my kind of girl all this formality is boring." Kouga said.

"You would think that way pup." Naraku said, earning a bird from the other.

She tugged at her arm.

"Ma'am...come on they are watching us already."

Kagome huffed.

"I'm awake I was hoping you'd give up and drive off."

She huffed.

"Ma'am!"

"I'm coming I'm coming."

Sango's mouth fell as she stepped out. They had met before, aside from gossip her mother kept her mostly out of the tabloids she considered this her 'entering society' day most knew she had black hair that was all she allowed to come out and she paid good money to keep it that way. She grinned as she saw them there wasn't too much of a crowd to hide them she waved at Sango, though she'd introduced herself as Tomoyo they were friendly at least she thought. She sighed as the pictures came she knew her mother would have a shit fit when she saw the news and how she showed up. Not caring one bit she held her head high and walked with Toran behind her.

Time to be presented...she guessed.
