OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Day One

Well, today was very interesting for me. I have new clothes and I can take a bath whenever I please. Being a lady has it perks; food, clothes, bed, and Shippo is safe. I don't particularly care for the rules and restricted freedom but it worth it. I haven't seen Lord Sesshoumaru in a while and that gives me comfort since I don't believe that I will be able to control what I say about him.

I did see him early today through after Sango said that I was allowed from liberty in the gardens. The gardens are really immaculate and vast. I could swim in the sunlight until the moon rises and I could drown its moonlight. All the flowers could open a trade and be successful forever and a day. They are really lucky to reside here.

I then saw a shadow blocking my sun when I lay down for a while. I opened my eyes, unfortunately, revealed white hair. My hair stood on ends and I leapt to my feet and bowed down before Lord Sesshoumaru. To my dismay, I heard laughter. It was ugly or hoarse but a wondrous sound to hear.

“Jumpy are we, Lady Kagome.”

“Forgive me, Lord Sesshoumaru, I did not hear your presence,” I remembered Sango's lessons about etiquette and I didn't raise my head. The grass was very interesting to study; it was so green and healthy. Just like everything else in the palace.

“Look at me, Lady Kagome,” he commands.

I raised my head slowly, taking in his tall form. Finally I reached his eyes and they weren't gold but silver. Relief flooded my body at that moment.

“Hello, Reason.”

“Reason?”

“Well, you are Lord Sesshoumaru's reasonable side, so it is a fitting name.”

“I suppose but you should get to know both sides of me not just this one,” he sits down on the grass with one arm on his propped up knee, “join me.”

I also sit down on the grass but ready to leave as soon as the eyes turn back gold.

“Aware are we?”

“Yes, you are unpredictable.”

“True, but I suppose that you have questions for this Sesshoumaru.”

“Why can I see your changes but others cannot like Sango?”

“Well, that answer is for another time. Another question if you please.”

“Why are your eyes the only thing that changed?”

“We agreed on something.”

“Something that concerned me?”

“Yes.”

“What was…”

“That is for another time,” Sesshoumaru interrupted me before I even finished the question.

I was quiet for a while, directing my attention to the flight of a bluebird. It was flying gracefully across the skies without limits or anything.

“I wish I could fly,” I mused aloud. I didn't mean to say anything to him but it slipped.

“It is against your nature.”

I looked at his silver eyes and wondered why he bothered to say anything at all. However, it's true.

“You mean it is forbidden.” I corrected.

“Yes.”

I sighed softly and I looked again to the sky but the bluebird is gone.

“I must leave you now, Lady Kagome,” and he rose to his feet.

“Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru,” I began to stand with my arms on the ground to push me up but he had a hand stretched out towards me. I stared in shock with this gesture but don't question it since he must be leaving because his other side is returning.

I am on my feet with my hand still within his. His larger hands are comforting but scary at the same time; he could crush my bones with one squeeze. All too soon though, his hand left mine and he returned to the palace and to his duties.

White hair reflecting the warm sun; sways in the gentle breeze. The tall, regal demon walks with his mind on the top of the world. Nothing could probably defeat him; except a battle of wits with me.

I returned to my room not to long after Lord Sesshoumaru had disappeared. I found some parchment and a quill on a desk in my room. I decided to keep a small journal of m writing so should anything happen to me there will be recollections of my time spent here. Perhaps these writings will one day pass to my children, if I have any, and how I went from rags to riches or back to rags again. No, I will not let my children be born to a world where they will suffer; either they will be provided for or not born at all.

As I write, I notice that my physical wounds have completely healed but mentally there are other problems. I took a quick sleep earlier today and my dream was filled with horror. Hands surrounded my entire body; touching, feeling, hurting. I couldn't move my arms or mouth. I couldn't cry or tear my eyes from the direction that the hands are coming from. There is an endless amount of hands and fingers that swarm towards me; stretching to touch my swollen flesh.

The torment seemed to last for hours which in reality it is only a few minutes but in that dream everything was dragged out and made ten times worst. Then in the darkness I heard a voice:

“Submit to me.”

The voice made me what to bury myself in a dark hole; isolated from the world and the hurt. Everything would disappear in this hole and I would be alright. It reminded me of the time that I spent with in the dungeon. Lord Sesshoumaru didn't seem to say anything about that, his reasonable side that is. Maybe it isn't even sorry that he commanded my pain.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Kagome closes her journal writings just in time for there is a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Sango, milady.”

“Enter.”

“Lady Kagome, Lord Sesshoumaru has cancelled your lessons until tomorrow morning. You have liberty for the rest of the day.”

“Thank you, Sango, you may sit in the chair.”

Sango sits in the chair by the window. At first Kagome isn't sure what she wants to do with her freedom. She turns her attention to Sango who is staring wishfully out of the window.

“Where is your family, Sango.”

“My family is gone except for a brother,” Sango looks Kagome in the eyes when she answers since it is her place to. A servant doesn't ignore a higher ranks gaze; it is not proper. Her eyes are so distant and broken like her whole world was taken was underneath her very feet.

“I am sorry, I am also without family. Where is your brother?”

“That is a long story, milady.”

“That is fine; I have the whole day to self.”

“Where do I start?”

“The beginning would be a great place.”

Sango gathers her nerves and revisits the place that has haunted her thoughts since that unfaithful day years ago.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

I was born in a village of demon slayers on the outskirts of town. We were employed by Taiyoukai Inutaisho to protect Edo from rogue demons that reside in the outside forests. Our village has been for centuries and had yet to falter. The men were usually the slayers that left the village, leaving a squad behind to protect the women. Now the women were powerless; the females were also skilled in the arts of slaying like myself.

My mother died in childbirth with my brother Kohaku. The village women raised us throughout the years when my father was away. There are no orphans in the Slayers' Village since every child will one contribute to the village with his or her skills. I had the natural skills of a warrior while my brother took a little longer to understand techniques. My weapon is a large boomerang made from a demon's bone. Kohaku favored a scythe with a short handle that a long chain at the end. Now he would throw the scythe at the enemy and the blade returns with a pull of the chain.

One day a hoard of demons attacked the village; the view looked like a dark cloud has swallowed the sky whole. My people prepared for battle; every man, woman, and child that was able grabbed a weapon of some sort. We are a village of warriors and no one backs down from a fight unless everyone can be carried away to safety.

The demons did not back down either and killed my father and everyone else in the village. By the time that Lord Inutaisho and his men arrived, all but myself and my brother were left. We did not cry or show any type of weakness; we buried the dead and went about our lives. Lord Inutaisho wouldn't have anyplace for a boy and a woman in his arm so we traveled the lands, searching for any rumors that would lead to the person responsible for our village's massacre.

For three years we searched until we found him; Naraku. This demon is a half breed with a baboon pelt covering his skin. We wanted to kill him then and there but he disarmed us and injured us horribly. I barely survived and he took Kohaku as his prize. There was not a moment that I regretted his decision. I would have preferred the demon to take me instead of my little brother. He is all that I have left in the world and now I had nothing.

I walked by to Edo and Lord Inutaisho offered me a position as a servant. The position was below me greatly but who would take in woman with no skills besides fighting? I needed to belong somewhere until I had the strength and means to find my brother. I gave Lord Inutaisho all the information that I had on Naraku and he began a search for the half-breed. For what I have learned Naraku has destroyed countless Slayer Villages around the Edo area for no apparent reason. No village has tried to rebuild since I and my brother are the only survivors out of ten villages. Two survivor out of thousands of slayers and I am not even sure that my brother is still alive.

That was three years ago and I'm twenty-two and alone in this palace. I tried to fit in but the other servants see me as useless since I haven't been able to understand the duties of a maid. But I did learn that I was good at memorizing things, so I was given the job of reminding everyone their duties for everyday and every special event. This is also why I was given the duty of becoming your handmaid, Lady Kagome.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Sesshoumaru stared at the report on his desk that his father left for him while his mother and father went somewhere. They believed that it was time for him to rule Edo without their presence and guidance for they will not be there the day after he is crowned; it is forbidden.

The report read with elegant handwriting:

 

The Status Report of Edo

Land: 500,000 acres not including the destroyed Slayers' Villages

Constructed Homes: 5,983

Population: 15,349

 

However it was not these three lines it was the following:

 

Homeless: 56 (not including the one in the dungeons)

Unmarked Graves: 587 (including the one under the Sakura tree)

 

These reports were taken after our lovely conversation with Kagome. I had a scout sent out to confirm her statements and she did not lie. I hope that these reports bring you to reason, Sesshoumaru. This female is more aware of the people than you and I combined, Sesshoumaru, you could learn for her. Your mother and I will be in Lino (A/N: A wealthy village about a day away with demon speed) until the night of coronation. We shall be expecting wonderful about the progress of Edo and Lady Kagome. I expect for her to be treated fairly like a Lady for I shall postpone your crowning if I hear otherwise; I have my ways, Sesshoumaru.

Do not tempt me.

Sincerely,

Lord Inutaisho

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Sango finished her tale and left the room to resume her duties. Her eyes seemed colder with the reminder of what all that she had lost. She was right; she is alone. Another knock on the door and it opens.

“Hello, Kagome. My name is Kikyo, Inuyasha's intended.”

“It is a pleasure to meet you.”

“I have come to invite you to join me the gardens tomorrow afternoon.”

“I would be delighted.”

“I will send a servant for you.”

“That will be fine.”

“Until then, Kagome,” Kikyo leaves and Kagome cannot believe the similarities between herself and Kikyou. They both have the same facial features and long black hair. The differences are that Kagome's eyes are green and vibrant while Kikyou's are brown and serious.

Shippo returned from what he was doing and leapt onto Kagome's desk where she was still sitting. The sun had set and long shadows appeared from their hiding places to stretch across the land. Kagome strokes Shippo's fur as always and thinks of Sesshoumaru.

`Why am I thinking of him?'

`Because he is interesting.'

`He is arrogant.'

`He has a sweet side.'

`That has to be forced out.'

`He cares for my well being.'

`He put me in the dungeon in the first place.'

….

`And for all I know he could be waiting for me to slip up and throw me back in there again!'

`Well, I'll be damned.'

“Yeah, I'll be damned before I let him but me back in there.”

Shippo meows with a question in his voice and his head cocked to the side with his green eyes wide open.

“Sorry, Shippo, nothing.”

Shippo heads lies back down and begins purring.

`Like a cat.'

`But I'll be damned before he gets the best of me. Shippo will be taken care of; he cannot separate us again.'

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“I need you, Kagome,” a figure moans while masturbating to the image of Kagome slipping into a sleeping kimono.

“Today you looked so perfect in that blue kimono. I wanted to rip it from your body and pleasure you until you screamed my name into the heavens. Oh, Kagome!”

The figure pumps his hand faster and faster until a liquid substance coats his hands and his member.

“That was for you, my Kagome,” and the figure disappears in the dense forests of Edo.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
