Nocturne in B flat minor – The Evilness of Dreams

Chapter 1: 1st Movement

“I miss them,” a small raven haired girl sobbed into her worn hands. “I want to see them again.”

“Then maybe you shouldn’t have let them escape,” a man said, walking into her room. “Live with your choice, my little Kagome.”

“Yes, Naraku,” Kagome said, her sapphire eyes peering up at him. “Must you keep me here?”

Naraku knelt down to her and tilted her chin up and stared at her with her eerie red eyes.

“If I let you out of this room, you’d try to run away again,” he whispered. “And I can’t have that. You don’t know how things are outside. It’s a terrible world you let your brothers run into.”

Naraku laughed and walked out of her room.

Kagome got up from her floor and lay down on her bed. Had she done a bad thing? Even though she missed them terribly, perhaps her brothers were better off.

Kagome Higurashi was fifteen years old. When she was ten, her parents were killed in a terrible car crash, leaving her, her twin brother Katsuo, and her baby brother of 2, Sota, as orphans. Their only living relative was their mother’s brother, Naraku Kumonosu. Unfortunately, Naraku was a violent gang leader. He was known throughout Shibuya as a man who had killed fifty men. The police couldn’t find the evidence to put him away, however. Whenever things didn’t go his way, he became extremely violent with the children and would beat them. The twins made sure to protect Sota from Naraku’s wrath. The day after Sota turned 7, Naraku left their house. Kagome and Katsuo decided to run away. They were able to hide for one day with an elementary teacher who lived down the street. Naraku eventually found out where they had gone and had the place surrounded and threatened the lives of the teacher’s family. There was a secret back door in the house so Kagome helped her brothers get out before offering herself to Naraku while they escaped. Kagome was able to distract Naraku and his lackeys just long enough for the boys to escape. Unfortunately, Kagome suffered the wrath of Naraku. He beat her near death and then locked her in her room, which had now become her prison cell. That was six months ago.

As Kagome lay down on her bed, she heard the door open. She sat up expecting to see Naraku but instead it was Naraku’s right hand man, Hiten Mitsushiga. He was only eighteen but Naraku trusted him with everything, even Kagome, who he’d had feelings for since he first entered the gang.

“Hi, Kagome,” Hiten said, sitting down next to her on her bed. “How are you doing?”

“I’m fine,” Kagome said, shifting away from him a bit. “What are you doing here? Did Naraku send you to punish me again?”

“No,” Hiten said, taking a lock of her long hair between his fingers. “I just came to see you.”

Hiten kissed the lock of her hair, making Kagome try to move farther away from him.

“Don’t be afraid,” Hiten laughed. “Don’t you know how beautiful you are? Everyone in the gang is always talking about you. But Naraku only trusts me with you alone.”

“Please don’t touch my hair like that, Mr. Hiten,” Kagome said, pulling her hair from his grip. “It’s not very proper.”

Hiten let out a loud laugh before pushing Kagome down on her bed by her shoulders.

“What do you know about proper, Naraku’s slave-girl?” Hiten growled. “Do you know why he keeps you here instead of just killing you or abandoning you somewhere? Because I want you. When you turn 16, I’m allowed to do whatever I want with you.”

Kagome gasped in horror. Naraku had never said anything about that. Hiten buried his face in the crock of her neck.

“I know Naraku told me to wait for your birthday,” Hiten breathed. “But I just can’t hold myself back.”

Hiten wound his hand under Kagome’s shirt. Kagome cried out in terror. She couldn’t believe what was happening to her. She struggled so much that Hiten lost his grip in her, allowing her to run out of the unlocked door. Kagome ran through the halls of the large house, hoping not to run into Naraku or any of his lackeys. Unfortunately, her luck ran out. Just before she’d reached the front door, she ran into a hard chest. She looked up, praying that it wasn’t Naraku or worse, Hiten who had caught her. The first things she saw were golden eyes framed by silver hair. I almost made it…

It was his first day. He combed his long silver hair, almost thinking about cutting it. He pushed the thought aside and pulled on his shoes. He had been invited to join the most infamous gang in the city; the Hitogoroshi. Naraku himself had come to him as soon as he was let out of prison. He had been in jail for murdering a man. Though it was in self defense, Naraku thought that he was perfect for the gang. The man walked out to his car and drove to Naraku’s house which doubled as he headquarters. Naraku was waiting outside for him.

“Nice to see you again, Sesshoumaru,” Naraku said, shaking Sesshoumaru’s hand. “I’m glad you decided to join. I have a very special job for you.”

“Thanks,” Sesshoumaru said. “I’ll do whatever.”

As soon as Sesshoumaru walked into the house, he felt someone run into him. He looked down at the small raven haired girl who barely reached his chest. She looked up at him with her sapphire eyes full of fear.

“Why hello, Kagome,” Naraku smirked, coming in behind Sesshoumaru. “Good thing you’re here. I was just bringing Sesshoumaru to meet you.”

Hiten came running in a few seconds later.

“Hello to you too, Hiten,” Naraku said, dropping his smirk now. “I suppose now I know who to ask about her being out of her room.”

“I’m sorry, sir,” Hiten said, bowing. “It was a mistake.”

Naraku knelt down to Kagome.

“Tell me what happened, my little Kagome,” Naraku said gently.

“Hiten came to my room after you left,” Kagome said, tears still streaming down her cheeks. “He tried to force himself on me. He said that I was beautiful and then told a lie about how you promised him me when I turn 16 next month.”

“Oh my little Kagome,” Naraku said, caressing her cheek and wiping away a few tears. “That was no lie. I did promise Hiten that, my dear.”

“You’re lying,” Kagome whispered, backing away from him. “You wouldn’t do that.”

“It’s good that both of you are here,” Naraku said, changing the subject. “Let me introduce you to Sesshoumaru Taisho. He is new to Hitogoroshi. Sesshoumaru, this is Hiten, my right hand man, and Kagome, my niece. I have given Sesshoumaru the job of watching over Kagome for now.”
