Prologue:

Silence. That’s all there is in the dark. The moon red as blood hung high on the sky gracing the land of the North its radiance and mystique once in millennia, accenting its beauty the stars brilliant as diamonds decorated the night sky. “Beauty in Darkness”, the lone figure thought as he stood atop his palace silently watching the world below.

His dark ebony hair gently moved with the wind without being disheveled while his piercing blue eyes watched the trees sway and leaves fall. He is a picture of beauty and serenity as he watched over his land that slowly turned into slumber.

Tonight was the night his family has waited for. The fulfillment of a prophecy.

He stretched his aura far and wide to keep outsiders and unwanted elements away from his home and away from his mate that is currently giving birth to his first born.

The wind around Sugimi suddenly felt still despite its gentle caress earlier. The moon glowed even brighter and the trees stood still as if an on coming storm is coming and then he felt it.

Power undiluted and pure so unlike any others he’d felt before.

He ran toward it as if drawn to it like a moth to fire. As he got nearer, the power gently caressed his skin as if soothing and assuring him. Sugimi slowly pushed the door open with his clawed hand.

His mate, Hitomi was on the bed cradling a bundle on her arms. “Anata…” she called to him gesturing him to come and see. When he got closer to his mate he slowly took the bundle off of his mate’s arms and into his strong one’s. He peered at the bundle on his arms and what he saw amazed him.

His pup, his beautiful daughter had her markings which are usually give when coming of age by their sires. Two blue stripe marks her cheeks and similar lines on her wrist and feet. On her forehead a silver crescent moon with a star under it adorned her face which proves that she is his heir, the mark of nobility of the demon clan that ruled the north. But on the middle of the crescent moon a lone gold tear drop appeared, the mark of a powerful priestess. Hitomi’s mark, his mate.

“She’s beautiful…my love. Thank you.” He told his mate.

Hitomi looked lovingly at the seen before her thankful to all the kamis of the many gifts she was given. “Anata…name her.” She told her mate.

Sugimi kissed his pup on her forehead where her mark lay. “Kagome…my beautiful pup shall be always loved and protected” he told his pup as he placed a silver bracelet on her left wrist.

Out of nowhere the wind inside the room moved as if a storm is coming. He placed himself protectively over his mate and pup. The winds became fiercer and stronger, in the middle of the room a hole appeared. “Anata!” Hitomi clutched tightly on her mate’s arm as she felt the wind tug on them. The wind became wild. Hitomi felt Kagome’s power rise.

Sugimi felt it, as the wind blew fiercer Kagome’s power started rising. He tried to tighten his clutch on his mate and child but as he did kagome’s power tried to purify him. Hitomi pushed his mate away to protect him from their child’s power. But as she did so. Kagome was pulled towards the hole. When the both of them tried to reach for her the hole closed and the winds died down.

“Kagomeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” Sugimi’s mate screamed for their child. He closed his arms and calmed his mate.

“Anata…forgive me. Because I----“he placed a kiss on his mates lips to silence he and told her. “The bracelet I placed on her is made from my fang. It will protect her from any harm. Let us wait. Someday I know, Kagome will return to us.”
