SOMEONE TO CALL MY OWN by AnimeCrazyGirl

Chapter 1 -
FIRST
England, 1818 /p>
From across
the candlelit room, Kagome watched her best friend Sango
walk into another man�s arms, the third one tonight. An accounted beauty Sango had a long string of suitors. She was an heiress from
one of the wealthiest families in all of England. Kagome and Sango had been best friends ever since they were five years
old. Kagome came to live with Sango when her parents
died in a carriage accident when she was ten. Sango�s
parents agreed to take the poor Kagome in as a companion to their daughter.
Her parents had left her a small allowance, but without any other
relatives, Kagome had nowhere to go. Sango�s parents
were generous and good people and they took poor little Kagome Higurashi as their adopted daughter. They were inseparable,
Sango He was scheduled to arrive in a few weeks to meet his
fianc� for the first time. It had been a match made by their parents when Sango was born. Ten years her senior, Inuyasha had been away at school, and then he went to war
in the Continent and now after his father�s death a few months ago, he had
settled in his estate in Scotland. He now needed to be
married in order to secure the earldom with an heir.
Sango�s plan was to have as much fun while she still could. As
much as she did not like the idea of marrying a complete stranger, she still
was a dutiful daughter and she would rather marry this
earl knowing how rich he already is, than try her luck in the marriage mart and
be married for her money. She was assured by her parents that he was handsome,
an excellent swordsman, and a fair and honorable man.
~~
Inuyasha Fleming, Earl of Covenaught,
was about to marry a girl he had never met.
Even though he
was fully aware of his duty, he did not like the idea of marrying and bedding a
total stranger. He had decided to make her acquaintance before the announcement
of their engagement; he planned to arrive in London several weeks before
he was expected, to meet his fianc�. His best friend Sesshomaru,
Earl of Carlisle would accompany him. Sesshomaru was weary of the country and needed some
entertainment. They had been friends since they were children, they went
to Cambridge together, but while Inuyasha went to war
in the continent, Sesshomaru�s father had died and
having to assume his title he stayed behind to see to his estates. Another
reason for Sesshomaru�s visit to London is to start his search
for a suitable bride, it was about time he took care of this particular
business. Unlike Inuyasha, Sesshomaru
was not promised to marry at the age of 10 to someone unknown to him. Inuyasha�s plan was simple, arrive in London and seek information
about his bride to be. He always liked knowing the territory before the
attack. It was just a good policy.
~~
Kagome sat in
her room preparing for bed, her usual ritual was to stare out her window
pondering her day, and writing in her journal before going to bed. Her entry
tonight read:
Dear Friend
Today was
exhausting I had no idea that shopping for a trousseau was so much work, even
if its not your own. Sango seems to be looking
forward to this marriage, I will be very lonely once she�s gone for then I may
have to find a husband myself. I don�t think marriage is for me, but eventually
I�m going to have to leave this house. I miss my family. Tomorrow Sango wants to go to the theater, I don�t like the theater,
everyone is there only to see and be seen, I don�t want to see anyone in
particular, and I certainly don�t want to be on display. I know why people
stare at me. I think I will take a ride in the park in the morning, I
think it would do me good to get away from the hustle and bustle of wedding
preparations.
Kagome closed
her diary, snuffed the candle and went to bed. Her last thought before falling
asleep was how good it would be to have some peace and quiet. �Sango will be married soon and I will be left behind,
again.� She thought.
~~
At the same
time across town Inuyasha and Sesshomaru
arrived at the London townhouse they will
have for the rest of the Season and while the servants were busy settling them
in, they were in the library for a much needed glass of port.
�Well man,
what are your plans for your last few weeks as a free man?� Sess
said.
�First I need
to make a few visits to my tailor and boot maker, not having been in London for years I�m afraid
I�m a bit out of fashion. I would not want to offend my future wife.� Inuyasha said sarcastically. He didn�t give a damn about
fashion or so called polite society.
�What about
your hair?� Sesshomaru said. �It is very
unfashionable.�
�What about
it? It�s the only thing I would never change about my appearance for a woman.� Inuyasha�s hair was one of his most striking features, not
only was very long for a man, but what made it singularly beautiful was the white
almost silver color of it. Women found this to be absolutely savage looking and
along with the golden color of his eyes framed by slashing black eyebrows he
was considered to have an unusual handsomeness that women found
beautiful. He never cut it and it was half way down his back, he would
never cut it since his father wore it the same way for most of his life.
�Well, since
we�re going to have to adjust to town hours I would like to go to bed early.
Since I�m positive I will not get a chance again until we return to the
country. �We have a very busy day tomorrow.� Inuyasha
said yawning.
�You go� said Sesshomaru. �I think I�m in need of entertainment. I think
I�ll visit the stews for a while, I�ll see you in the morning.�
~~
Kagome rose at
dawn, dressed and had a groom bring around her favorite horse; he would be
accompanying her on an early morning ride. It wasn�t the fashionable hour
to go riding in the park but Kagome had no problem with it, she rather enjoyed
the solitude as much as it was with her groom along. Riding gave her the
opportunity of some exercise and time to think. Unbeknownst to her she was
being watched.
~~
On his way
back to the house Sesshomaru had decided to cut
across the park, at this early hour hackneys where nowhere to be found. Making
his way across the cobblestone walk, he went past very few people. Some were on
horseback, others were workers heading to the docks,
and the odd drunk asleep on the grass. All of the sudden a woman appeared in
the trail in front of him. She was sedately riding her horse. An apparition in
a deep wine colored riding habit was heading straight toward him. From
what he could see, she was lovely. Strike that -she was beautiful. She was
wearing a very fashionable little hat that matched her habit, great big eyes as
she got closer he could tell their color was a deepest blue he�d ever seen,
almost black. She had a cute upturned nose and hair the color of midnight. There was a faint blush on her cheeks
probably from the slight morning chill, to Sesshomaru
she was the most beautiful girl he�d ever seen. As she came near he tipped his
hat and their eyes met. She acknowledged his greeting with a slight nod. Sesshomaru didn�t know how long he stood there frozen
looking after the retreating vision. After a moment he started back towards the
townhouse, promising himself he would find out who the girl was.
