Where My Heart Belongs by gen'ei honsho

Updated: Story and Character Introduction

AN: This is my first fanfiction. I have decided that I am going to revise the story -- I'm not happy with the way I wrote some things but I also for got to add some things I forgot the first time I uploaded the story. I have had a couple of readers express that they hate it when people who don't speak Japanese throw in Japanese words and\\or phrases into the mix. As a result, I am totally going to Americanize my story. I want to apologize in advance for any out of character behavior with which any of my readers may have a problem. This is an alternate universe story and I am only giving my interpretation of the Sesshomaru-Kagome relationship. There will be deaths of major characters, so, please, I ask that you do not get offended.

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or anything associated with the manga or anime show.

Story's and Character's Background

Story Background

This story is set in an alternate universe where demons and humans co-exist in as much harmony is expected between the two races. It will be laced with comedy, tragedy, angst, drama, romance and hopefully lots of fluffy stuff. Kagome's family has worked for the Taisho family all her life. Her father dies from a heart attack when she is 7 years old. 9 months later, when she turns 8, the rest of her family dies in a automobile accident on their way back home from the hospital -- her mother was there to give birth to her little brother. The Taisho family takes Kagome in as their ward.

Character Background

Main Characters

Sesshomaru Taisho-- 21 years old Inu Yokai. He is the son of Taisho Inu and an unnamed Inu Demoness who died giving birth to Sesshomaru. Vice President and heir of his father's company Western Lands Technologies. Just something I made up. Finishing up his Masters Degree in Business. I know -- it's impossible to do this for some people. "We are talking about this Sesshomaru." Always there to be Kagome's rock in the storm; he is the preverbal knight in shining armor in this story.

Kagome Higurashi-- 18 years old human. High school student/damsel in denial of her distress. "Bring it on Bitches." All of her family had passed away by the time she was 8 years old. She truly feels blessed to have an extended family who loves her -- especially Sesshomaru.

Supporting Characters

Inu Taisho -- Handsome, stately, Inu Yokai in his late 40's. President and CEO/COO of Western Lands Technologies. Current Lord of the Western Lands. Hey! Back away from the keyboard! Bad Inu! Kennel up! Inu pokes out his lower lip, pouting, "Awwww! Party pooper." Big supporter of Sesshomaru and Kagome becoming mates.

Izayoi Taisho -- Human in her early 40's. She became Sesshomaru's mother when he was 1 year old. She is the MRS/MOM of the Taisho family. Current Lady of the Western Lands. Had to give her props. She, also, is a big supporter of Sesshomaru and Kagome being mates. Izayoi releases a heavy sigh as she fantasizes, 'All those adorable grand pups I will have.' Hey! Stay out of the background info page. Get back to the story! "Sorry."

Inuyasha Taisho -- 18 years old - half human/half Inu Yokai. High school student. Kagome's male best friend. Most handsome and strongest son of . . . Would you leave my story alone? Give . . . me . . . that "As if you stupid wench," he says as he raises his claw, "Iron reaver soul stealer!" A female voice chimes in " SIT BOY!" THUD! BOOM! "GAAAHH!" Thanks, Kagome "No problem." For the most part he is comic relief. He is in a relationship with Kikyo. Her main function is being a story prop. I think I can make do with a puppet on a wooden stick.

Rin Taisho -- 16 years old - half human/half Inu Yokai. High school student. Very loyal to Kagome like a sister. I'll let you say something, Rin. "Thanks," she says waving at everyone "Hi." "HEEYY! NO FAIR!" "Inuyasha," "Oh, shit!" "SIT BOY!" "GAAAHH!"

Miroku Kazana -- 18 year old human. High school student. Inuyasha's male best friend and partner in comic relief. He is currently dating San . . . HEY! GET YOUR HAND OFF MY ASS! WHACK!! Thanks, Sango. "My pleasure," she says dragging him off by his ear. Now, where was I. Oh yeah. He is currently dating Sango, but, has a reputation of being somewhat of a pervert. What can I say? He just loves women.

Sango Taijiya -- 18 year old human. High school student. Kagome's female best friend. She is there for Kagome whenever she can. She is dating with Miroku. "When I'm not beating him for being such a PERVERT!" "But Sango, my love," he whimpers "my hand has a mind of its own."

Kagura Onigumo -- 20 year old Yokai. Sister to Naraku. She is obsessed with Sesshomaru. She somehow turns up wherever he is and acts like they are a couple. She hates Kagome with a passion and will do anything to keep her apart from Sesshomaru. What a beyatch. "I am not," Kagura says trying to defend herself but is cut off by everyone "YES, YOU ARE, KA-UGLY!"

Naraku Onigumo -- 21 year old half demon. Knows Sesshomaru through business connections. He becomes obsessed with Kagome duh. "Yes," an evil sounding voice cues in trying to sound seductive "I am obsessed with the woman." "This Sesshomaru will not tolerate you insolence half-breed, Kagome is MINE!," eyes bleeding red. "I'm talking about the authoress of this story," he says giving me a lecherous leer. EW! GROSS! "I don't think so, demon cesspool. If Sesshomaru is claiming Kagome as his, then this lovely lady is going to be my woman." Koga, You're not even in this story, idiot.
