Chapter One

Kikyou sighed contentedly. Life was perfect, untouchable, like a gentle breeze swaying a small tree. She lazily opened her chocolate eyes framed by long, curly black eyelashes. The sight before Kikyou's eyes was of a neat, orderly room. One word came to mind: white. Organized, ebony dressers and bed stands, with white curtains, sheets and carpet were in the room.

Inhaling Kikyou smelled the fresh scent of her cleaning products. Gracefully standing up from her bed she calmly walked towards the glass doors that led to her balcony. The sun, bathing her balcony in a soft yellow soothed her eyes. Turning her gaze outside the glass she saw her fathers escalade coming towards their house.

She smiled thinking of yesterday and of how happy and proud her father would be. Quickly glancing at her black khakis and white t-shirt she ran towards her bedroom door and exited her room. Softly shutting her door, she then walked down the hall and the flight of stairs to the living room to greet her father.

As Mr. Higurashi entered his home Kikyou put on a great smile. Rushing to greet his lovely daughter, Mr. Higurashi dropped his suitcase.

"Kikyou! How are you? How have you been while I was gone." He said excitedly.

"Father! I am well and have missed you greatly! And I placed first at the tournament!"

"Why that's wonder full! Kikyou I have something to tell the family at dinner, but first I must clean myself. That flight was torture."

"Yes Father." Kikyou said warmly with a soft smile. She watched as her father picked up his suitcase and walked toward the master bedroom. He is such a wonderful father, but he works so much it is rare to find him at home.

With a sigh she retraced back to her room to take a short nap.
