Summary: What if Kaname was never engaged to Yuuki and had someone else he desired. He meets Kagome in the Feudal Era when he is just a kid and meets her again after her journey. And what's more is that there is more to her than meets the eye. The Higurashi's are her adoptive family. Her 'mother' was good friends with Kagome's parents who were vampires? How does this change everything?

Chapter Eleven

A red and blue eyed man peered down to his prisoner in a weak and defenceless state. "Rumours are a good thing. People succumb to them every time," he said.

Fierce blue eyes glare at his captor. "Why don't you just kill me and take my powers? We both know that is all you truly want: power. All the possible power you can obtain.

The multicoloured eyed man stared at the pureblood vampire amused. To have a pureblood tied under his grasp. He enjoyed torturing the fool who had made one too many bad decisions in life. "Do you not yearn for the same thing? You are a pureblood after all. The search for the ultimate power. To have control- to rule over everything. Or perhaps you being this weak for five years is beginning to get to you. You know, five years is only a minor amount for the eternity we have to live."

"Rido!" The man now know as Rido turned to the captive pureblood. "That doesn't answer my question!"

"I thought someone as smart as you could have figured it out. Right now leaving you alive is more of an asset. After all, your precious daughter is still out there. Once she knows poor daddy is alive, she will fall right into my trap. Two pure-bloods is better than one. Isn't that right Keisuke?"

"Rido!" He pulled against the chains that seem to zap him inflicting some harm. He screamed in pain. In fact, burn marks were left on his skin before rapidly healing. "Don't you dare touch her!"

"You don't have much of a choice now do you? You're a bit... preoccupied." Rido laughed at Keisuke's feeble attempts to release himself. It was nothing new. "Though you shouldn't fret." Rido approached the helpless pureblood. He drew his face near his own. "You're still on my list. Of course along with Yuuki Kuran, Shizuka Hio, and your own daughter. Things are already being set into place."

Rido stands straight again as he heads for the door stopping at the frame to look back at the horrified expression on the prisoner's face.

"This should teach you to never stand in my way again."

Rido turned back around and left Keisuke's sight.
