PROLOGUE: 1749
Westover, Virginia, Autumn 1749
The wind howled and the gallows rope danced grotesquely as if an invisible woman already hung in its leathal grasp. Twenty One - year- old Kikyou Hashumi imagined she could already see the poor soul dangling from the end of the rope, neck broken, eyes bulging.She knew that soon the victim would not be imaginary.Because she would be her."Murderer!" Someone in the huge croud yelled.Arms and legs shackled, her jaw defiantly set, Kikyou looked away from the gallos and took in the splendor of Canterville Chase in autumn one last time. God, it was beautiful: the lush green fields, the majestic white brick mansion. Her home. Thier home. If only-"It's, time." The two executioners roughly grabbed Kikyou's arms, forcing her up the steps of the wooden platform erected for her hanging. Thunder rolled ominously. Lady Kagura Canterville stood atop the platform, immaculately dressed for the occasion, "Well, well, Kikyou." She said jocularly, eyeing Kikyou's beautiful set face. It irritated Kagura that the young actoress was so tall and beautiful when her herself was so short and some said sour-faced.Reminding herself that good-looking Kikyou was about to be drop dead beautiful Kikyou cheered her Ladyship immensely.Kagura checked her gold pocket watch. "Right on time for your final entrance," she told Kikyou happily."I do appreciate punctuality in an execution, don't you?Kikyou glared at her silently."Oh, well, I suppose you wouldn't, seeing as it's your execution."Lady Kagura brushed a speck of dust from her sleeve. "Did I mention that I saw you in Romeo and Juliet last summer in Williamsberg? You played a maid, didn't you? You overact terribly. You weren't very good."Kagura leaned closer to her. "I told you, Kikyou. I always win. You should have listened to me."A streak of lightning briefly lit the foreboding sky, followed seconds later by a peal of thunder. Kagura looked at the executioners. She wanted the proceedings over before the impeding downpour ruined her new dress.With a smile at Kikyou, She climbed down from the platform to stand with the other members of the Council. Landed gentra all. the powerful commettee of men who made the laws by which all Viringia Colony must abide.Lady kagura nodded at the two executioners and they nodded back. One of them took a roll of parchment from his pocket, ready to pronouce Hashumi's death sentence. "On this day, October twenty-fourth, in the colony of Virginia, town of Westover, one Kikyou Hashumi, having been found guilty of the heinous crime of the murder of her husband Naraku Hashumi, shall face her sentence, to wit: death by hanging. God rest her soul."
"Don't kill her!" screamed a young man in the crowd.Kagura gazed sought out the owner of the voice,Keade, a young housemaid."Ah, Keade, isn't it? We are touched at her concern. But in Westover, justice must prevail. Kikyou was hoisted up onto the stool underneath the rope as the crowd roared. The executioners climbed onto stools of their own, better to slip the noose around her exposed neck.Fear overcame Kikyou, her knees buckled. Death was coming; it was real. This time it wasn't a role."Kikyou Hashumi," the taller of the two executioners said, "Have you any last words?"This is your last performance, Kikyou, she told herself. Make it your finest. Damn for leaving Japan.She willed herself to stand proud as the executioners stepped down to the platform. Her eyes slid over to Lady Kagura. Kikyou filled her actoress lungs with air."As kami as my witness," Kikyou thundered, "revenge on the house of Canterville! Revenge! REVENGE!" A moment of horror, a gasp for breath that did not come, terrifying pain, then nothing. The crowd heard Kikyou's neck break. But they did not roar in approval, for the skies opened as if the heavens themselves were weeping for kikyou hashumi. while her final shouted words carried on the wind: "REVENGE!"
