Kagome sighed contently as she felt the rain fall on her face in the moonless night. It was a perfect rainstorm. The air was warm, and the water was cool. The lightining made beautiful light shows, and the thunder made a breath-taking melody. It was a perfect rainstorm. Kagome spinned slowly in the rain, her bare feet getting muddy from the forest floor. She would be in so much trouble if her family saw her like this. It wasn't how a Sayomi should acted.

A Sayomi girl, as her mother would, should be a perfect picture of elegance, and beauty. Like her older sister. Kagome loved her sister yes, but she hated being compared to her. Her perfect sister. A girl who wouldn't be out in a storm, with mud between her toes. Kagome looked down at her feet and giggled. She really was dirty. Good thing she was wearing a poor girls kimono. It was plain white, with no designs what so ever. It wasn't long like the ones she had, it was 5 inches abover her ankle, showing alot of her legs. It came two inches below her elbow. Yes, her mother would be very angery, probably would make her take extra lessons. Her step father would give her a beating. Her uncle, would make her go without eating super or lunch for a week. Her beloved sister, would look at her with her cold unwavering eyes. But they weren't going find out, were they?

Kagome smiled like a fool as she skipped and jumped in the puddles of rain water. The air smelled so good and clean. Crisp and fresh. Kagome sat under a tree, on its roots for some time to rest. She had been out all day, saying she was going to pick flowers. Of course they would be worried because of the rain. But, none of them would go find her, and would be too embarrased to send someone else. In worked in her favor, but sometimes it hurt that they had too much pride.

Kagome hummed slightly, a song she heard an old village would sing. It was about Tsukiyomi, a demon who fell inlove with a human. It was a beautiful song, and always made her cry. She told her sister of it once. She glared at her and said she should becareful not to sing such a song. Demons and humans together was unheard of. Forbidden. Kagome always thought it was romanic. Her sister told her she was foolish. But she wasn't here to laugh at her was she?

Kagome continued to hum when she heard something above her. looking up, she was a figure in the branches. Blinking slightly from the water hitting her face, she tried to make it out.

"What the hell you looking at?" said a voice from the tree. Kagome this time blinked in confusion. She never heard someone speak like that, other then her uncle. She didn't know how to respond. At first she was angery, but she didn't want to get the boy mad. She resonded to him as if he was her uncle. With politness.

"Who are you?" She asked, completely forgetting the boys rudeness. He grunted from up the tree, but didn't say anything. Kagome smiled. Was he a boy from a village?

"What are you doing up there?" She question curiously. He was silent for a moment.

"You ask too many questions" He grumbled. Kagome smiled slightly. He was kind of funny. She stood up and looked higher. He moved back at her movement, and move into the light of the clouded stars. He had dark eyes, the color of amthyest. Dark skin with dark raven hair. Everything about him seemed dark, and hidden. The 13 year old girl still smiled innocently up at the boy.

"You haven't answered my questions yet" Kagome said, going on her tippy toes on the large twisting roots. The boy shifted on his perch and looked down at ther. She could see him much better now. He was very handsome. He large eyes stared at her with confusion, his perfect shaped lips turned into a frown. Kagome held back the blush that was slowly raising. She hoped it was too dark for him to see.

"Why should I answer you?" He said stubornly. Kagome cocked her head.

"Why not?" He backed up again. He looked to the side and pouted.

"Because I don't want to.." Kagome giggled and lept down from the roots.

"You answered one question" Kagome stated, and he growled.

"Whats your name?" Kagome asked him another question, oblivous to his irratation. He didn't answer.

"Then I'll give you a name" Kagome said, really to her self. The boy just looked at her as she pondered.

"Tamaki?..no.....Sora? nah....Ryuu?....nope....Kogai? Nuh uh...." The girl ranted on about possible names, the boy in the tree growing more innoyed by each name. She must be very bored...

"Kyo?...maybe....Kuro?....Suits him....Narushi..nope" Kagome pondered somemore, She thought of the boys pretty eyes, dark and hidden....lonely? Was he lonely?

"What about....Kodoku" The boys eyes widen at the name.

"Would you shuddup!!" The boy yelled from the tree. Kagome turned and glared heatedly at him.

"Well then give me your name!" Kagome damanded, feeling put off at the boys crudeness.

"NO!" He yelled and then leaned back on the tree. Kagome pouted and tried to reproduse one of her uncles famous glares.

Although the boy thought it looked quite cute on her. He shook his head at the thought, remembered he hated her.

Kagome was seething. She was just trying to be nice! She glared somemore befor turning on her muddy feet.

"Then I'll give you one. Gesu no baka!" She yelled and ran from the tree. The boy was left there confused and insulted.

'Stupid girl....She's lucky I don't decide to cut off her head...' He pouted some more and leaned back on his tree. He had fun watching the poor girl dance in the rain, and was nervous when she sat under him. He had leaned forward to try and get a better look at the girls face, he swore she had blue eyes, but when he looked again, they were brighter. But he broke a branch trying. She was lucky, that she entertained the 200 year old prince.

Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chest and huffed out air. Village girls were too willful, and had no restect. He let a small smile slip on his face. Too bad there weren't girls like her in court.

Kagome walked a quick paces to her secret hut in the forest, far from the city of Heian-Kyo. She walked in a stripped off her muddly white kimono, and struggled into her 6 layered kimono. She learned how to put it on by herself, after a beating she got when she came back with her new kimono in ruins. She was 7 then. 6 years ago, she was yet to master it.

Kagome combed her long raven wet hair, and placed the simple blue comb she had behind her ear. She washed her face, not bothering to redue her make-up. They wont get mad if the rain had washed it off.

'That boy was so mean! No wonder he's alone....' Kagome imediantly felt horrible. It wasn't his fult. She was innoying. Her sister told her that every day. She shouldn't blame him. She really wished he told her his name. Maybe the name she picked out for him was too rude and informal....The first one she gave him. Not the insult she slapped him with befor she ran away like a little coward.

Kagome went to the stream near by the hut and washed her feet in the cold water. She was sure she would get sick this time. Her little advetures made her more amune to sickness then everyone else. But walking in the rain in the begining of spring was never a good idea. Kagome shivered as she brang her frozn clean feet out from the water and slipped on her white tabi socks and her zori sandles fallowed after. Standing up, Kagome walked slowly and graceful back to the city. She would be scowled, and sent to her room. But that would be all. She would be able to be alone again, by herself. It worked out for her. But she sometimes wish she had someone to talk to at times. But, she could trust no one in the court. Her mother had told her that.

But Kagome also learn, she couldn't trust her own family. Well, every one of them but her brother Miroku. But he spent so much time with the courtier woman, and court matters, that he rarely had time for her. Miroku was just as secretive and as much as a lier as the rest of the Sayomi people. But always, was he honest with her. Sometimes too honest. Kagome giggled at the thought of her favorite sibbling. Soon, her mother would let her go to court with them, and she could be with her brother every day, laughing and singing with him.

Kagome reached the open cities gates, the samurai guards looked at her and smiled, letting her through. She was a regular, she never had to show papers.

"Good evening Sayomi-sama. Your out later then usual." Said one of the samurai's. Akitoki Hojou. He was her favorite one out of the two. She smiled happily at him, not noticing the blush that raised on his cheaks.

"Evening, Hojou-kun. I'm sorry, I ran in with a village boy, and talked with him for awhile" She admited sheelishly. He gave her a slight disaproving look.

"Be careful around commoners Sayomi-sama." He warned. Kagome gave him another smile.

"Hai! I have to go now Hojou-kin. Bye!" She turned to the other guard and bowed to him and left them. She didn't like being scowled at. She had enough from her family. She didn't want to be by a friend. Kagome ran down the empty streets, slowing down when she came by someone. She kept her Sayomi smile on when she did. She couldn't look like a child when around the rich. Even if she really was, just a child.

Kagome entered the tall black gates of her Clan's district. The Sayomi's, her real fathers manor, was in the middle. Her step fathers manor, to the south. After her fathers death, her mother remarried a third time to a man from the Hayakami clan. He was rich, but had no real political power. Unlike her father. He was a Shogun. She barely remembered him. He died when she was 6. Her mother married him after her brother's and sister's father died. Kikyou and Miroku was the children of Mazuka Tamaka

They called her mother the Black Widow, after her 2 dead husbans, and she heard some made a bet on when her step father would die.

She lived in the Sayomi manor, with her uncle and her siblings. Her mother lived in the Hayakami manor. Kagome walked pass the slightly small gates of her mothers home. She could see the candles lite, and heard her mother's beautiful icy laugh. She smiled and ran the rest of the way to her home.

Kagome was about to enter the gate, when she saw her sister out in the front, sitting on the wooden deck. She didn't want to talk to Kikyou now, so she went around the large manor, and to the gardens door. She was glad she left the door open. Kagome didn't think she could claim the walls with her kimono. Kagome took of her zori sandles, placed them neatly on the shinny deck and walked inside. She could hear no one, so she headed right to her room to get ready to sleep. Maybe Miroku would come befor he went to gamble with the rest of the men.

Kagome slowly pulled off the layers of her kimono, leaving her in only in her sleeping yukata. Kagome went to her mirror, and combed out the knots she got from her run. She really wished she could cut off her hair. It was too long. Nearly past her knees! Kagome huffed, trying to combed through her thick wavy hair.

"Let me help you sister" Kagome looked in her mirror to see the 15 year old Kikyou standing at her door way, her arms elegantly crossed over her chest. Kagome nodded and held out her comb. Kikyou walked forward and gently took the comb from her. Kikyo sat behind her, easily and gently brushing through the tankled and knots. Kagome sighed quietly in content. She loved it when Kikyou combed her hair. It was their favorite past time together, always befor bed, when they could talk or not talk. Insult or complament. Be them selves around eachother. When they weren't Sayomi girls, but just plain sisters. Rivals and friends. Emenies and eachothers only ally.

"You have a twig in your hair" Kagome blushed. Kikyou raised an eyebrow through the mirror, holding up the offending piece of wood. Kagome looked down. She was caught. Kagome glanced at her sisters through her lashes. Her eyebrow still raised, but she continued to comb through her hair. Hopefully, she would drop it.

"No more adventures in the woods Kagome" No such luck. "It's not proper. It would be dishonorable if someone were to catch you in that state. How would I get a husban, kin to you?" She felt like Kikyou was her mother. They both were able to make her feel like dirt.

"Sorry" Kagome muttered. Kikyou just continued to work her hair. Soon, Kikyou grabed a good section of her own hair, and threw it over Kagomes sholder, handing her a comb. Kagome glided the brush threw her hair. She would never tell Kikyou, but she was very jealous of her hair. It was straight, and thinner. Much like everyone else hair. She had no split ends like her. Kagome had many, from never takening care if it, and from her'adventures'.

Kagome looked in the mirror. People said that they looked alike, Kagome didn't agree. Kikyou, was far more beautiful. They both had black hair. But her hair had a honey sheen to it, and was longer to her ankles. They both had pale skin, but Kikyou had the proper coutiers color. Completely white, with no color what so ever. Kagome always had a rosacea on her cheaks from her activity and sun, though, she never tanned. What was the most different, were their eyes. Kikyou had the natural honey color of a Japanese woman, but inhanced to a earthy beauty. Kagome, on the other hand had one blue-grey eye, and the other dark blue. When her mother had human company, and they would bring their human children. They would laugh at her and call her a youkai. Only youkai had her unusual color.

Kagome glanced up as her sister stood. Kagome let go of Kikyous hair. She slipped off all of her clothing, leaving her naked, and slipped into her bed. Kagome turned away and went to her bed. Miroku wouldnt be coming tonight, it was too late, she guess, it was around the time of the ox (1:00 am to 2:59am). Kagome sighed and let her mind wonder. It was after midnight, it was her birthdat now. Miroku should have came, bring her secretly some sake, and drink it with her. It was suppose to be her first time, with her brother. Kagome felt some anger to him, but then thought, maybe he came earlier, and she missed him. Kagome pouted. It was her fault. Kagome shook her head, and thought of the boy she met today. At least she wasn't completely alone on her birthday.

Kagome was nearly asleep, when she heard Kikyou shift in her bed.

"Happy birthday, Kagome" Kagome felt somthing being placed behind her. As she listened, Kagome waited for Kikyou to go to sleep. After 15 minutes, Kagome turned, to see a small box, placed on her white sheets. Kagome opened it gentle, and inside, was a beautiful jeweled comb. It had black teeth, with dark blue cherry blossems with black pearls in the metal flower. Kikyou did care. Kagome smiled and went out of bed, to her jewelry box. She placed it right by her long black pearl necklace. It would go nicly with it. Kagome quietly slipped back into her bankets, with a smile. Kikyou could easily make her feel like the lowest of low, but also, make Kagome feel like she could fly.

Kagome went to sleep, with a smile on her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inuyasha walked back into his brother's castle, but stayed in the gardens. He yawned boredly and leaned on the a tree. He could feel his demonic powers comiong back. It was nearly morning. Inuyasha crossed his arms and closed his eyes. He thought of the girl he met in the forest under the tree. She was strange. She called him Kodoku....Solitude. If fit him perfectly. He was alone and unwanted in his home and country....

Inuyasha thought of the dancing girl some more. Did she often went around nameing people? He thought of a name for her. A few insults first came to mind. But then, he really thought about it. But one stuck with him.

'Amaya....' It ment Night Rain. It really was nameing the weather and time that he met her, but worked with her personality in away. Rain and the night time didn't mean depressing things. In his mind. He rather enjoyed the rain.

Inuyasha then stopped thinking about the strange village girl he had met, and just thought of random things. For about 15 minutes, he had peace, befor Jaken, his brothers lacky ran up to him.

"Inuyasha! Inuyasha!!" He refused on calling him with the proper hornorfic, but it never bothered him. Inuyasha opened one eye and looked down at the green youkai.

"What?" Inuyasha asked, not really interested. Jaken heaved befor looking at Inuyasha, unshed tears in his big, bug like eyes.

"Sesshomaru-dono!! He's gone!! He's gone!!" He wailed. Inuyasha moved forward, grabing Jaken by the collar.

"What the fuck you mean gone?!" He damanded, shaking the Kappa like Youkia. Jaken sobbed more.

"His armor and sword was found drifting up from the Jinzu river....His blood on it! He was killed in battle!" Inuyasha dropped Jaken his eyes widden in disbelief.

"Oh my great lord!!" Jaken cried and cried. Inuyasha, shed no tears for his brother. They were neaver close. But Inuyasha never wished for his death. What now? What happen to the country? They were in a middle of a war!! Who killed him? The Wei soilders? Or assasins? What of his wife, Meiseung? Who would be Emporer now? They wont let him. Not a Hanyou. Would they? Which one of the Courtiers would be next? Inuyasha shook his head and stomped away, leaving the broken kappa behind.

He brust into his room and grabed one of his screens, throwing it the ground. Inuyasha punched a wall, causing a whole through the stone and wood. Inuyasha collasped on his futon bed. How could the bastard leave him with this mess. He didn't know what to do. He had no loyalty to anyone in the court. Not from the demons, or the humans. Why the fuck did he have to die! The weak bastard!

Inuyasha placed his hands over his eyes. He didn't want to become Emporer, but he didn't want a civil war...By rights, he should be nexted, but the counsle wont have it. It was all a mess, and Inuyasha was the one who had to clean up. Alone.

'Kodoku... am I?'
