Chapter One
The Plans
(6 years have passed and we are now in present time)
She had camped out by a mountain stream, and was now cleaning her face free of the tears
that had flowed down it the night before. As she splashed the water on her face, she couldn't help
but look down at the cool, clear water and see the girl staring back up at her. The person she
saw, she didn't recognize. The person she saw had dark circles that ringed her eyes and her face
was slightly hollowed. Her veins were clearly visible through her papery skin.
Her eyes seemed dull and void of emotion, the fire that was once in them extinguished.
The hair that spilled over her dainty shoulders no longer held its former luster, no longer felt or
looked like the finest silk, no longer held a blue tint to it when the sun shone on it. No. The hair
she saw was dull and colored almost gray, and had no volume. It was stringy and hung limply
around her face like straw. She angrily splashed at the person, causing the image to waver and
ripple. She walked away disgusted at her own reflection.
` How could I let myself get this way?' she asked herself. ` How could I let myself sink so
far into misery that I started to neglect myself?' she thought as she gathered up what little belongs
she carried into her bag. Kagome had long since given up on her oversized yellow monster she
used to carry and instead, settled for a cloth bag she slung over her shoulder. Once everything
was in place, she picked up her bow and quiver of arrows and faded away into the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru!" came the gravely, high pitched voice of his
servant, Jaken. Sesshomaru was in his personal study when he heard him calling his name. He
rolled his eyes in annoyance as the lowly little toad demon scampered into his office and bowed so
low that he fell over. Sesshomaru didn't know why he kept Jaken around because he really
couldn't stand him, but he got the job done, even if it was in the most annoying way possible.
"Please forgive this lowly servant but you have visitors that request your presence at
once," said Jaken as he once again bowed low.
"Who is it?" said Sesshomaru, barely containing his impatience in his question.
"It is Lord Kaname of the Eastern Lands and his daughter, Amari m-m-milord," he
stuttered as he cast a wary glance at his lord, looking for some sign that he had heard him.
He rubbed his temples because he could already feel a headache pooling behind his eyes,
ready to spill forth. "Escort them in here and have the servants prepare their rooms."he said as he
waved his hand in dismissal. "Oh and Jaken?"
Jaken turned around expecting a blow, but didn't receive one. "Make sure to have Amari's
room set up as far from mine as possible. Is that understood?"
"Y-yes milord of c-c-course," he said as he ran out of the room as fast as his stumpy little
legs could carry him. Jaken was not afraid to admit that his lord was very intimidating and down
right cruel sometimes, but he was grateful that he still had his head and his job.
He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and let loose a long, feral growl that echoed
down the hall, sending a shiver down that servants' that heard it spines. He was not at all pleased
with the Lord and his daughter's arrival. In fact, he was outraged at it. He could not stand the
two of them but would rather have his other arm sliced off compared to spending a minute with
Amari. Amari was an over stimulated, over eager, whore that had been trying to get in his bed for
the last fifty years. He had met her when he was two hundred and two years old at annual
Summer's Eve Festival that was held on the first day of summer every year. It lasted one month,
which in his opinion, was one month too long for any festival, but this one was special. The
purpose of this festival was for celebrating youth, music, and most importantly, mating season.
While at the festival, people were expected to come, meet the love of their lives, mate, and
leave, something that Sesshomaru thought was the biggest load of bullshit he had ever heard.
Sesshomaru didn't believe in emotions and therefor, thought the whole festival was a waste of his
time, but Amari thought the exact opposite. He knew that others thought him as desirable and
many wanted to mate him for the money and title that was offeredif they obtained the postion of
Lady of theWestern Lands. Amari was one of the many eager demonesses that threw themselves
at his feet, vainly hoping he would take one of them. Amari, though the same as the rest, took
extra steps in trying to seduce him. On several occasions, he had to knock her unconscious to get
away. She even went as far as to slipping a love potion into his sake once. Needless to say that he
expected that she was planning something on a grander scale, and he was prepared.
~*~*~*~*~*~
She had stopped at a near by village in search of a bath house, and instead was offered a
job. When she had come out the owner of the bath house, an old woman named Kimi, led her to
a room in the back of the building. She slid the shoji screen aside to reveal a young man with
long, dark brown hair and light green eyes that observed her with a hidden delight.
"Miko-sama," he drawled looking her up and down,"what brings you to my bath house?"
he said as his eyes lazily made their way back to her face.
"I am traveling and there were no hot springs near by," replied Kagome, squirming under
his intense gaze,
"Well since you're so pretty, I won't charge you, but I still need some form of payment.
My lord is looking for a woman that is well educated, musically talented, exceptionally beautiful,
and skilled with weapons. One look at you says you're what I'm lookin' for," he said his voice
slightly dropping and his breathing quickening.
Kagome didn't like the new light that was shining in his eyes; it looked dangerous, like the
predator's gleam in a lion's eyes before it strikes. No, she didn't like the light at all, but was
slightly interested in the job he was offering.
"What would a woman of those standards be implored to do?" she replied cooly, not
breaking eye contact.
He looked partially taken aback by her words and tone of voice, but answered her none
the less."Lord Kaname of the Eastern Lands is looking for some one to become his new geisha
because the one he had before didn't....... preform up to his standards." He pinned her with a stern
look. "I have heard of you in whispers, Kagome," he said his gaze suddenly hardening. "The great
miko that defeated Naraku and whose powers are thought to surpass even the late Midoriko's.
The miko who travels with a hanyou, kitsune, monk, and a tajiya. I've heard that you are not
from this country, that you come from far away where women are educated in many areas," he
watched as her eyes widened when he stated all of this and was pleased. His plan was working
perfectly.
To say she was shocked was an understatement. `How does he know so much about me
and my past from mere whispers?' she asked herself. `If he knows this much then what else does
he know?' She slowly set a mask of indifference on as she spoke.
"You speak of me as if you know me, but I don't believe we've met, ne?"
"Hai we have not, but I would like to know you better, if you allow it," he said as a smirk
graced his lips.
She ignored his last comment as she asked her question,"You speak of Lord Kaname
needing a geisha, but you never said what for and when."
His smirk became more bold as he spoke. "Ah. This is where you come in. You see, I
need some sort of payment from you for your bath, and by the looks of it, you have not enough
money," eyes glinting,"so as payment you can take the job."
She stared in disbelief at him, her mouth slightly agape. `I've just been conned into a job. I
don't know the first thing about being a geisha!' thought Kagome angrily. `I am so stupid! Stupid,
stupid, stupid! I would think after all the scams I've come across so far, I'd at least recognize one
that's' right under my nose.'
Now if Kagome was a normal girl, she'd just try to weasel her way out of it. But Kagome
being the honorable person she was couldn't because it wasn't right. `Damn my honor,' she
thought,'damn it to hell and back.'
~*~*~*~*~*~
She walked down the down the hall, her tail swishing in anticipation and impatience. She
was extremely irritated at the fact that she had not yet seen her Sesshy, and took it out on the
poor servants that crossed her path. Amari had decided that if Sesshomaru wouldn't come to her,
then she would come to him. In her haste she had gotten hopelessly lost in the huge house and all
the servants who could give her some sense of direction had disappeared. She let out a growl of
frustration as she passed yet another door , but stopped when she spotted a huge set of double
doors.
The doors were carved in intricate design depicting a great battle where a monstrous two tailed
inu youkai in its true form that stood on an over looking cliff, the full moon illuminating its
beautiful form. Being a cat demon, Amari was instantly curious as to whose room it was, though
she already had a good hunch.
She carefully pushed the doors open, treating them as if they made of fine China, and
revealed a grand room. In the middle was a large futon like bed decorated in luxurious silks in red,
black , and silver tones. On the covers and some of the pillows were silver crescent moons. The
furniture was a dark mahogany with a cherry wood finish. There was a shoji screen on the opposite
wall that was slightly open and sunlight softly filtered through it. Amari guessed it led to
Sesshomaru's personal gardens, since it was his room.
`My, my what a gorgeous room,' thought Amari as she lazily lay down on his bed, relishing
in the silk's texture on her skin,'ans such a wonderful bed.' She purred in delight as she rolled
around a few times. After her she was done with her childish act, Amari stood up from the bed and
looked around. She noticed that from underneath a door on the fat left of the room steam was
slowly drifting from underneath it.
`Ooh a bathroom, I haven't had a bath since I left two weeks ago. Surely Sesshy wouldn't
mind if I use his bathroom, besides, he's gonna have to learn to share with me anyway once we
become mates,' she thought as she let out a purr of contentment. She quickly scurried to the
bathroom and went inside.
What she saw made her drop her jaw and gape in a most unladylike fashion. On the other
side of the door was a paradise. A natural hot springs surrounded by lush green grass and every
flower in existence that let off a medley of enticing aromas surrounded it . A small series of
waterfalls gently fed the spring which was uncommon, but beautiful nonetheless.
Amari let out a squeal as she quickly disrobed and eagerly slid into the warm water, hissing
as it made contact with her skin. She wiggled for a bit trying to find the right position ans stilled
when she reached it. She leaned her head back against a moss covered rock and let the water do
its magic.
`I could get used to this,' she thought as sleep overtook her.
~*~*~*~*~*
"So Sesshomaru-sama, how do you like my daughter? You have to admit, she's only
gotten prettier since you've last seen her," said Lord Kaname as he leaned forward on his elbows,
looking at Sesshomaru expectantly.
Sesshomaru knew that Kaname was had been behind his daughter one hundred percent
when she said she wanted him as a mate, and he had been nagging him about it ever since. His
daughter wasn't ugly, but she wasn't extraordinary either. He thought of her as rather plain, but
she thought that he thought otherwise.
"Hn. She does seem to have changed, but the only thing that hasn't," he gave Kaname a
glare that could kill,"is how I feel about her."he said, the annoyance clear in his tone.
Lord Kaname was outraged. This insolent whelp of a lord had been denying his daughter
her birthright for as long as he could talk. He had been disobeying his father's wishes without a
care by refusing his daughter. He had had enough of it. "Sesshomaru!," he roared,"this has gone
on long enough! You and I both know that Amari is your intended, yet you continue to deny her
her rightful place. You and my daughter were promised to each other but-"
Sesshomaru lost all self control that he had. "I promised you nothing! Our betrothal was
based on a feud between the demons on my father's land and your land, nothing more. My father
made that promise before this Sesshomaru was born, so therefor I am not held to that promise!" he
snarled his fangs bigger than before.
"It was your father's wish for you two to be married, so you will follow through out of
respect for your-" but Lord Kaname was cut off once more by Sesshomaru's vicious growl
"My father is no longer alive, so there for the promise is nullified. And the last time I
checked, you were not of the Taisho Clan, and as far as I know you are not even an inu youkai, so
why are my father's wishes of any concern to you, Kaname?" growled Sesshomaru glaring daggers
at Lord Kaname.
Lord Kaname was shocked. He had never heard of Sesshomaru losing his temper, ever.
But here was on the verge of transforming. His plan was going to be harder than anticipated. He
didn't calculate Seshomaru's temper into his scheme, so he would have to improvise.
By the time Lord Kaname looked up, Sesshomaru was gone.
~*~*~*~*~*~
He stormed down the hall to his room, already thinking of the nice soak he was going to
partake in once he got to his private hot springs.
He came to the springs with only his hakama on when he almost fainted, if he didn't play
the stoic demon. In his hot springs, his personal hot springs, was Amari, naked as the day she was
born.
