A/N Hello all you beautiful people. I thank you so very much for giving my first story a chance. As you know, this story is about the mafia, it was the result of my dad buying so many mafia movies. I had to fine some kind of inspiration. Well anyways I'll shut up now, its not like anyone reads authors notes so lets get on with the show… I mean story!!!

Disclaimer : This will be my first and last disclaimer for this story. I do not own Inuyasha or any of the other characters, I repeat I do not own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does, not me (unfortunately). If I owned Inuyasha do u think that I would be righting this story… I don't think sooo… (sigh). Anyway on with the story!

A FORCED PATH

MR. HIGURASHI MADE A LIFE LONG DEAL WITH THE MAFIA. NOW, FOUR YEARS LATER HIS DAUGHTER, KAGOME, IS PAYING THE PRICE FOR HIS BAD DECISION. (I,K)(M,S)

Chapter 1.THE DEAL

(Mr. Higurashi is sitting with Mr. Takahashi, leader of the youkai mafia, going over a business transaction.)

"Mr. Higurashi you do realize by September 1 2008, that the payment will be due, there are no exceptions?"

"Yes I know." He said in a defeated sigh.

"Good, and if u do not have all of the money we will be forced to take your daughter as payment."

"Yes I know."

"To make the deal final all you have to do is sign here."

As he handed the papers to Mr. .Higurashi, he looked at them and hesitated for a moment, but took them. As he signed the papers he knew that he was getting a little over his head, but he had no choice. He wanted his daughter to have a good education and this was the only way. With the family shrine doing as bad as it was there was no way he could pay for a collage intuhision. This was his only resort, to borrow money from the inu youkai mafia.

When he gave the papers back all he could think about was the mistake that he made, but it was to late to go back now, the deal was done.

"Thank you for doing business with youkai enterprise Mr. Higurashi you made the right choice in doing business with us. Lets just hope we didn't make a mistake doing business with you."

"Yes, lets hope not."

(The two shake hands as Mr. Higurashi lowers his head at walks towards the door.

.

(as Mr. Higurashi leaves the room another man enters.)

"Sesshomaru do you honestly think that he can get all the money in time, he probably can't even pay his own bills." said the man that just entered the room.

"Inuyasha, this is what we do, we make deals to people that need money and if they don't pay up they face the consequences. Its simple dear brother we've been doing this for years. Do not tell me you feel sorry for that retched human?"

"OF COURSE NOT!!!" Yelled the aggravated hanyou. "I just think that if we keep taking these sorry bunch of losers were not going to make the money the we used to"

(Sesshomaru got up from the chair he was sitting in and went to the door )

"Inuyasha, just trust my judgment. Do not question my decisions. I do not need a half breed like you telling me how to do my job, if it wasn't for me you would still be on the streets, homeless. Goodbye Inuyasha I will see you at the meeting."

(Sesshomaru left the room leaving a very p*ssed Inuyasha to himself.)

~~~

Mr. Higurashi didn't know how to tell his wife that he made a deal with the mafia but he had no choice. She would Eventually find out and it would be better if he told her now.

As he entered the house, he saw his wife working on dinner. He finally mustered up the courage to tell her, but he could barely keep eye contact with her. He was to ashamed of the decision he had made. He grabbed her hand and began to tell her what he had done. When he was finally finished all he saw was the tears falling off her cheeks. She tried to say something, but instead she just ran out of the room. Mr. Higurashi was left alone in the kitchen, with a head full of guilt.

(Alone in her bedroom.)

Mrs. Higurashi could not believe that her husband would make a deal like that, but she new that they could not tell there daughter. They would have to keep it a secret. Knowing Kagome, she would probably not take this lightly. All they had to do was get all the payments by the due date, and they would not have to worry about losing there daughter.

I really hope you like the start of the story because I have so many ideas for this. I really like reviews and comments but I would really appreciate that you don't flame. I don't mind opinions, but when people have some nasty comments I would like for you to keep them to yourself.

WELL THIS IS
