See the "Romance" genre up there? Good. So tell me who you want the pairings to be QUICK because I already have the next 3 chapters written out and I kinda need to know who should end up with who really soon. XP
And also, I'll openly admit that I'm not a very good romantic scene writer. Any suggestions and hints would be greatly appreciated.
Prologue
Once upon a time, in a land where demons would exist if you believe in them, there lived a well-to-do family named Higurashi. This family was blessed with a set of twin sisters and an infant son. Both parents were loving. Kagome and her twin sister, Kikyou were at one time both very sweet girls. They were both adorable, kind, and caring, especially to their baby brother, Souta. However, all this changed when their uncle (their mother's brother) moved in with them. This uncle, they vaguely remembered, was a pale young man who fidgeted quite a bit. Their mother sighed a lot when he was with them. She seemed to be overly concerned about her sickly-appearing younger brother who couldn't seem to hold a job after losing his first job. Despite her a foreboding feeling that something terrible would come to pass due to her younger brother's stay with them, she waved it off as just a feeling – but it was something she should not have ignored.
One day, after leaving work early, only a few months after her daughters had begun middle school, Mrs. Higurashi returned home with her infant son she had picked up from the local daycare. Strangely, she noted, her husband's car was already parked on the driveway even though he usually got off work later than she did on a normal day. Walking up to the house, she became extremely overcautious of just how quiet their home was. Usually, she could hear her daughters playing outside in the garden or the television blaring inside. It was too quiet. Approaching the house, she silently opened the front door and cautiously placed her infant son in his crib in the master bedroom. Odd, she had thought, her brother was not in his usual spot in front of the television, nor was there any sign of her husband. Stepping quietly as possible, with her heart beating louder and faster than ever, she climbed the stairs and approached her daughters' closed bedroom door.
Inside, she could hear a faint crying and a rhythmic grunting. Her eyes grew wide as she pieced together what this meant. She could only stand there, outside of her daughters' room, horrified, until she heard a slap, then a howling cry from Kikyou as Kagome began crying louder too. Snapping back into reality, she tore herself from her spot and ran silently downstairs and through the hallways to her bedroom, grabbing her infant son who had only begun to fall asleep again, and ran outside. Frantically searching her purse for her cell phone, she called the police.
Minutes later, sirens were roaring outside of the once peaceful Higurashi home, men in uniforms were everywhere, ambulances and police cars were lined up on both sides of their street. Mrs. Higurashi could only sit in the back of an open ambulance, crying, trembling, and hugging tight onto her baby boy. Two stretchers emerged from the chaos within the house, and were loaded into two separate ambulances, which were then sped away. Tears could only continue to flow from the mother's eyes as the next scene unfolded before her. Yet another stretcher emerged from the house, this time it was covered with a white sheet. Mrs. Higurashi's eyes widened. Malevolent laughter filled the air. Her younger brother with bloodshot eyes was led away from the house at gunpoint with his hands handcuffed behind his back.
Minutes later, she was being questioned. Then, a few minutes later, they were all gone. She silently rode in the back of a police car with tears streaming down her face and her son in her lap. Through it all, she never blamed anyone.
Days later, Ms. Higurashi and her children moved into her father's home next to a shrine. The daughters were quiet as well and their mother. The only sounds frequently heard on the shrine grounds were the shrieks of laughter from the infant son and the breathless sighs from the mother.
A month later, just as the two daughters began finding their place amongst their friends again, after all the whispering had died down, Kikyou collapsed in a hallway during school. Ms. Higurashi rushed to the hospital with her other daughter, Kagome, in the back of her car. Kagome was soundless and impassive while her mother could barely hold back tears as they waited hours in the hospital. When the doctors emerged from the emergency room, only more grief was beheld. Kikyou was diagnosed with near-to-last stage of leukemia and only had a few months to live at the most. At this news, Ms. Higurashi fell crying into her father's arms, who had only just arrived, as Kagome sat silently with her younger brother sleeping peacefully in her lap.
Years passed. Time faded, memories faded, and unanswered questions faded. Having her beloved sister torn away from her, an innocent baby brother to take care of, and a broken-hearted mother, Kagome's heart hardened, pushing away everyone outside of her family away from her. She blamed the death of her sister on her father and uncle, though she knew there was never any evidence to. Kagome went through the rest of middle school, high school, and college as a headstrong girl with a rock solid determination to put all lawbreakers either behind bars or six feet under, leading her to the one job she saw fit – the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.
Now, a few years after transferring to the GSF (Governmental Secret Forces), Kagome Higurashi has become a top-ranked agent in her department and earned herself the name of "The Vixen," the dark beauty who entices men into submission until she gets what she wants. And for Kagome, she always get what she wants. And this… this is where our story truly begins…
