"There is no greater motivation than that of revenge; to see past one's own hatred and one's own desire is to forfeit the need for revenge. You won't find many people willing to do that in this day and age."

Kagome stared at the officer in front of her, watching from the corner of her eyes as the EMS zipped up the body bags which contained the bodies of her mother, brother and grandfather. A massacre, a family massacre; with only one survivor. Maybe there weren't a lot killed, but the fact that they were killed at all...blood was heavy in the air, painting the walls of her home. She was fourteen years old, and her family had been stolen away from her.

"Kagome?"

Looking up, her eyes met the father of her fiancé. Who was her fiancé? How did she become his intended? It brought a small smile to her face as she thought of him, but small and barely noticeable as the events weighed down her heart. "Kiriyama-San," her eyes lingered for a few moments before tears finally began spilling forth from her eyes. "They're dead...Mr. Kiriyama, they're all dead!"

The older man's arms wrapped around her form and he pulled her in for a hug; holding her in secure and warm arms as she cried her heart out. "Let's take our leave, Kagome. No more tears."

When I was little, my mother said I had a gift. I could heal wounds; I could make the hurt stop, and make the pain go away. I could stop the bleed. I guess, some people were afraid that I could do more than just stop the bleed. Like maybe, I could cause it. I wonder, perhaps that was why so many people died around me. Perhaps that was why so many people turned vicious and impure, and tried to kill me. I was a hazard to one's health. I had the gift of god, and that scared people. Why was I so special; why was I the one god chose to shine his light down upon? I couldn't answer those questions if I wanted to. The fact of the matter was, I was the Light of the World, God's precious daughter, and I wanted to be safe and cared for, without the fear of someone turning their back on me and betraying me. That was when I met him.

In all his innocence, in all his genius, in all of his purity...

'No more tears...'

"Kazuo~"

Kagome waited on the couch inside than mansion she would be staying in now. She heard the soft tatter of footsteps coming from the stairs, and watched with blurry eyes as a boy a few months older than herself, came walking down at his father's call.

"K-Kazuo..."

His eyes teetered to her frail form and then took turn and graced his father with a look before making his way to Kagome's side. He kneeled down before her, and quietly, always so quiet, he took her hands in his and checked her over with careful precision. She was the only one who he showed such consideration and attention towards.

"Kazuo, if you haven't figured it out yet, Kagome will be staying with us from now on. Please treat her well and see to it she adapts to her surroundings and the changes nicely. I trust that you will take care of her and keep her safe, no matter what."

Kazuo stood and turned his lifeless eyes to his father, "I will make sure nothing happens to her while I am around. Nothing will cause her harm."

"Including you?"

Kazuo seemed confused by his fathers' words, but all the same, he nodded, "I will not hurt her, and I will make sure no one else does either."

"Good, you will show her around, and then tomorrow, she will start at your school."

It was rare for schools to accept transfers in the middle of a school year, but his father could do anything he wanted. Kazuo knew that well enough, so he said nothing in retaliation to his father's comment. Pulling Kagome up by the hands he still held, he guided her up the stairs to his own room. He would let no harm come to her. She was his, and only his. She'd said so herself. She'd said so, right after the bad thing happened.

Right after the bad thing happened...
