Summary: Kagome on the morning after her engagement discovers a dark secret that Sesshoumaru is hiding.

It had been a night like no other. She had been introduced to the Emperor and his wife at an

Imperial Ball. Later, Sesshoumaru had taken her up to Special Observatory of Tokyo Tower

for a private showing where he had asked her to be his wife. The lovemaking which followed was the best she had ever known.

Sesshoumaru had departed early fo r his office. She lay back and basked in the glow of the last night's events. Nothing could destroy her mood.

As she lay there on the bed, she begin to hear a whimpering sound coming through the vents.

It sounded almost like the cry of scared and wounded child. Where could it be coming from?

She put a robe and slippers and tried to follow the sound, it appeared to be coming from a level below the main floor of the house. As she followed the sound, she found a door open.

Walking through door she found herself going down a flight of stairs. She had to be very

careful as the stairs were unlit. At the bottom of the stairs was another door. The whimpering

appeared to be coming from beyond the door.

She carefully turned the knob. It was unlocked. She cautiously pushed the door open.

She found herself in a halfway. At the end of the hallway a door was open, but no light was

coming from that room.

The sound was much louder. It was almost like the mournful sound of a beaten puppy.

She walked down and slowly pushed the door open.

As she pushed the door open, a smell from the room almost made her faint. When she finally

came to her senses, she began to realize what she was smelling.

It was smell of rotting flesh. There was odor of urine and feces.

When she entered at first it was too dark to see. Gradually, her eyes adjusted to the dark.

In a corner of the room she could see two golden eyes staring at her.

Was it an animal? It really did not look quite human. It appeared to be cowering in fear from her.

As she stepped forward, she stepped into a pile of a muddy substance. She knew that it was

not mud. The piles appeared to scattered throughout the room.

The figure appeared to wearing a robe. She was sure of the color. The robe appeared to covered

in blood and dried flesh. Around his neck was what appeared to a choke chain. It appeared to

have silver hair topped with what appeared to cat ears. The face appeared to be almost human

except for the eyes which were golden.

As she around the room she saw the bones of various small animals and half-eaten carcasses. .

strewn about the room.

Kagome slowly approached the beast cowering in the corner. "Don't worry, I will not hurt

you. The beast seemed to understand her.

It began to cry "Please help me. I have been alone in the dark for so long."

Just then behind Kagome came a flash of fire. "Back you, do not talk to her. She is the Lord's

intended."

Kagome turned to see a small green toad holding a staff which appeared to be similar to one

in the National Museum. "Get out,"he yelled." You have no business here."

Kagome run out the door as her legs would carry her. She was out of breath and trembling by

the time that she reached her room.

She wondered what this meant. What was creature in the room? Why was it there.?

When Sesshoumaru finally came home, he was greeted with many questions. His face slowly

turned grim. He had not intended for this secret to be revealed to her.

Finally, Sesshoumaru faced her. "That creature is my half-brother, Inuyasha." By the terms of

my father's trust , all that I own can only be mine so long I allow my brother to live with me

and I take care of him."

Kagome was shocked. How could the man she loved treat his own flesh and blood in such an

abysmal manner. She decided to take a direct approach.

"You must release your brother." she implored.

He snapped " If I release him, he will leave. This is reason that I chained him in first place. When the Trustees arrive, we clean him up and drug him so that he appears to be well and happy.. I will not lose my fortune because he is not willing to stay with me."

"Maybe if you made his life here bearable so he would want to stay." she pouted.

Sesshoimaru stiffened at this proposal.

"He is lucky that I do not simply kill him. He is worthless and my father should never have forced him upon me in this manner.This is my revenge against my father. I am carrying out the words of the trust, but I am making Inuyasha miserable in the process."

Kagome angrily replied to Sesshoumaru "Either you release Inuyasha or we are finished."

She was sure that this threat would bring him around. Had they not become engaged just

last night. Was not his mother's ring still on her finger?

Sesshoumaru watched as the guards escorting the angry young woman off the grounds of his palace.

" I will report you to the NSPCA. I will tell the press about you." she screamed.

He idly stared at the ring in his hand. She had resisted giving it back, but he was not going to

let her keep his mother's ring.

Jaken spoke up "Do you think she will give us any trouble.?"

"My lawyers and press people are already on it. They will bury her if she does not agree to settle for being quiet."

"And if she does not."

Sesshoumaru gazed at his claws which were glowing green."Then I will have to bury her personally."

He had really loved that woman. But he had billions of reasons not comply with her wishes.

He would get over her. After all , there had to be millions of girls who would fall in love with

his father's money.
