"Mistress Higurashi, your highness" the servant said as he bowed then left.

"What is your whish my queen?" said a woman dressed in a tunic over a full sleeved shirt. Her leggings where soft but thick enough to protect her skin. She had a sword on one side of her and in her boot she wore a concealed dagger.

"No need to be so formal my friend. I called you here for a favor.

"Anything your highness."

"Thank you. What I have to ask of you is dangerous and risky." Said the queen. When she looked at the other woman she saw her roll her eyes which caused her to laugh.

"I'll take that as an 'I don't care'. But this is very serious. I believe my husband's brother is planing on killing him and myself. My husband will not listen to me. My stepson unfortunately does not care. I fear for my son. Please flee from here with this." She said while taking what looked like a pocket watch out of her pocket. She placed it in an envelope with a letter then handed it to her friend.

"Flee with your daughter and when my son turns 16 please return and give it to him. Do not argue. You've just gotten over giving birth to a beautiful baby girl and I do not wish to put either of you two in danger. Now go. Travel as far from here as you can." And with that she handed her friend the envelope and left.

"Yes your majesty." Said the woman. She stood and went to her room where she packed for herself and her child. She then took her child and went to the stables. They rode out of the castle gates and when they finally got out of town she turned the horse so she could see the castle.

"Say goodbye to your home Kagome. You won't see it again for 15 years."
