Chapter 1:

The sounds of an arrow being nocked, bow string pulled taut, the twang the string made as the arrow was released, and hitting its target rang through the shooting range behind the Higurashi castle. A young girl around the age of ten stood panting as sweat beaded on her forehead. Her straight black hair was displaced as the wind blew through the clearing.Still holding the bow, she relaxed her pose, her eyes twinkled with happiness and she smiled triumphantly at the figure watching her.

“Again! We have been here all morning and yet, you still cannot hit the bullseye. This is not your first lesson. I expect more from you,” said the tall, imposing man. He was dressed in a rich silk haori and hakama and would have looked quite handsome if not for the scowl upon his face.

And just like that, her smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared and she looked at the target. Her face fell even furtheras she saw that her lord father was correct. The arrow had not hit the bullseye as she had first thought and she gave a small formal bow while saying, “Yes, my lord.”

“Kuro-tono!” a panting servant yelled, pointing towards the castle, “Your Lady…Kokoro-sama is in labor!”

A mixture of joy and male panic flashed through Kuro's eyes as he turned towards the castle. Kuro thanked the man as he rushed past the servant, his daughter in tow.
