Chapter One: On the Ship

*annoying conscience that we all wish we could kill*

"Duh do I need explain?"

'Thinking'

~change in POV~

~Kagome~

I find myself on this boat named "The Wolf" by my master's command to become a maid for his dear sister who just can't stand the thought of physical labor. I'm here on deck due to the fact the Captain is quite smitten with me. I have not the slightest idea why I am nothing but a commoner. No that 'tis not honest. 'Thou lord doesn't forgive those who lie to him. He only forgives honest puritan youths not deceitful venomous servants. Now I must punish ye.' Tears swelled in my eyes remembering my master's punishment.

"Tisk tisk young fair maiden thou mustn't cry." I murmured to myself.

I giggled lightly. The line reminded me so of the Captain's flattering ways. No one ever commented me after father died. Mother and my dearest young brother Souta were taken away as slaves as was I. Souta was to be bought by Grandfather but he died before he bought him. Then he and mother were sold to a rich merchant in England. I was sold to someone in France. Close but so very far away. I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Doushite? Matanai iinarini. Matanai iinarini. Doushite? Beshi yakusokunotoori." I murmured.

I whipped the tears from my cheek I wouldn't hurt myself like this any more. I made a promise to mother, grandfather, father, Souta and myself. I must do this. I will not cry for them or myself mainly them though. I regained my composure.

"Iinarini," I said softly.

"Iinarini? Doushite?" Said a deep velvety and emotionless voice.

I turned around to see the most beautiful man I had ever seen. He had long beautiful silver looking hair which seemed almost too perfect. He had these golden eyes that seemed to peer into your soul. He stood at an intimidating height around six and a half feet or so. He wore crimson hakama pants with black sakuras going down his left leg. His kimono was black with crimson sakuras on the right side and his haori was crimson also with black sakuras on both sides. He was simply stunning and I envied his incredible beauty. That's just the bad person I am that's why I deserve punishment. Envy is a sin.

"I apologize for my hesitation ye startled me is all I didn't expect ye to speak Japanese." I said kindly as I bowed trying to be respectful and hide the blush that graced my cheeks.

"Doushite? Why do ye bow to those thou haven't known for a moment?" He replied.

"I was taught to be respectful young lady and that I shall be whether joyfully or regretfully." I stated proudly.

"Oname wa?" He asked as he offered me his hand.

"Kagome, Higurashi Kagome. And your name is?" I said as I took the offering hand.

"I am Taisho Sesshomaru." He said as he kissed her hand.

"You mean your name is Taisho Sesshomaru. Thy name is not who ye are unless you are... Do you know Taisho Inu Yasha?" I asked quickly.

"I see ye has had the inconvenience of meeting my idiotic half brother." He said quickly.

"Yes thy brother is the reason I am being sent to America." I said solemnly.

"What witchery have thou cast upon me?" He said so casually as if he had been talking about the weather. The nerve of this beautiful Sesshomaru.

"How dare ye accuse me of witch craft? I could never I am a pure blooded miko. Why the mere thought of-" I began.

"I didn't mean that to literal terms. I was merely pondering why I have spoken more to you than everyone in my family except my mother. What have ye done to me? How have thy done such to me?" He explained lightly.

He looked into my eyes. I suddenly fell into a trance. Looking into those orbs of pure molten ice. I could feel his gaze burning holes into my soul. Yet still I looked into those eyes that graced his already enticing face. I couldn't look away. He held me still with his gaze the world could be falling to pieces or the ship could be sinking but if he continued to look at me with those beautiful eyes I would surely drown. For a moment I saw a royal blue crescent moon adorn his forehead and two magenta strips appear on each cheek. Suddenly I was pulled from my trance by a sour old croak.

"Sesshomarukou, what are you doing consulting with commoners. Why I assure you your father will hear of this and he wouldn't be pleased not a bit. His rage would be most dreadful. I honestly can't believe you talking to commoners why not even Lord Inu Yasha would stoop so low. How-" This little, ugly, greenish looking, man croaked. He oddly reminded me of a toad.

"Jakken do you value your life?" Sesshomaru asked nonchalantly as a smile graced his gorgeous features. I gasped when he was smiling there were not many words to describe him one of those words were flawless. It was a sadistic sort of smile that terrified the toad man but amazed. I began to ponder what a happy smile would look like on his face.

"Yes Sesshomarukou, I didn't mean anything I said. Forgive me for I am a lowly speck of dirt in this world-" The toad graveled.

"Jakken did you have anything of importance to tell me?" Sesshomaru asked harshly obviously annoyed with the toad.

"Yes Sesshomarukou, your lunch has been prepared." Jakken said.

"Very well have another seat prepared." He said and with that the little toad left, "Thy will join me for lunch won't ye?"

"I c-couldn't I m-m-mean y-you're a p-p-prince and m-me I am j-j-just a common s-slave g-g-girl." I stuttered while finding something interesting to look at on the floor.

I knew he was rich but I didn't expect him to be a prince. Inu Yasha isn't a prince just some rich lord. I didn't expect him to be royalty. He purposely distracted me from his name too just incase I did know what he was. I felt his fingers hook under my chin and lift up my head until I was staring into those things he called eyes. His skin was so soft satin had no right to be put in the same category.

"Are ye stating that because I am a prince I am unworthy of having someone treat me as if I were common as if I was not a prince but a real person?" He said.

"No you should be treated like a real person you have every right to be." I said.

"Good. Let us take our leave," He said gently grabbing my hand and lead the way to his first class dining room.

We walked across the deck up the stairs to the first class deck. I concentrated on looking at the floor. Still I noticed the stares the obviously angered women gave me and the lustful glances men gave me all behind Sesshomaru's back of course.

"Iie kizokuishiki. Soukanoinu." I said softly.

"Kimariwarui, kusakusa, zarazara, jiinto, sogaikan." He listed stoically. Stating every emotion I felt with each offending look.

"Hai," I replied, "I should be use to it. Maybe you should spend your lunch with one of those women you'd have a better time."

"Gommen ne Kagome," He said gently.

I was shocked to hear him apologizing to me no one apologized to me after father died yet now royalty was apologizing to the likes of me. We stopped in front of a door in an isolated hall. He turned to look me in the eyes. I looked into his eyes they told me the story that his mouth never could. He knew what I was felt because he felt the same thing. I was here instead of those rich women because he was asking for more than they could give him. 'He's so sad and he just wants me for comfort for someone who will understand.'
