Epilogue: Once Upon a time
When girls are young, they have dreams of being a beautiful princess, locked up in a dreadful tower; just waiting for their knight in shining armor to arrive and save them. He would slay the dragon, climb the castle steps and search to find her, and make her his. Every little girl has some fantasy, their own little fairy tale they wish were real, a world they can escape to when times look their worst.
Kagome packed the last box into the cab which was waiting for her at the beginning of the shrine steps. Turning around she began the climb up the steps and headed towards the old well house.
Sliding the doors open, she walked in, dust rising from where her feet made contact with the ancient wood, leaving faint prints of her passing evident there.
“Oh InuYasha.” Kagome said softly, “I wish I could get back to you, really I do.”
Silent tears began to fall from her eyes as she took one last leap into the well.
“I’m so stupid, I can’t get through and he’s not coming for me.” Kagome muttered, climbing out of the well and closing the door behind her, making one final round of her house to make sure she had everything.
Exiting the house, the sacred tree caught her eye. Heading towards it she stopped, memories flooding her.
Her prince never came back for her. Her knight had been not one in shining armor, that of which would protect him from any form which threatened him, but one who was garbed in a red fire rat haori. He’d saved her on many occasions yet the one she’d wish he could, he had no control or means to do so. Kagome would, or so she thought, be forever trapped in her tower.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” Her mother questioned, watching her daughter head toward her and the rest of their family. “Running from your problems never helps you know.”
“I know, and besides, it’ll be closer to the school mom.” Kagome said, hugging her mother tightly, then turned to her grandfather and younger brother, hugging them in turn.
A horn beeped from the bottom of the steps as a irritated cab driver waited for the young woman to get in so they could depart.
Then a voice called from the bottom of the stairs, “Are you coming Kagome?”
“Just a second.” Kagome responded, giving the grounds, the well house, tree and her family one last look before she left. “Well this is it.”
“Oh I almost forgot!” Her mother exclaimed as she ran into the house and came back a moment later, an envelope in her hands. “I got these developed for you a while ago and forgot to give them to you, silly me.”
“Thanks mom.” Kagome said taking the envelope as the cab horned honked again. “I got to go now, I’ll be back to visit soon.”
“All right dear.” Her mother said, waving good by.
“You be careful now Kagome.” her grandfather warned, “And if any demons show up, you let me know.”
“Alright grandpa.” Kagome said, making her way down the stairs as Sota called.
“See you later sis!” came the young boys call.
Waving her final good bye, she got in the cab and turned to the woman next to her.
“So, you’re the exchange student I’m suppose to work with then?” Kagome questioned.
“Yep.” The woman said, her deep violet eyes locking with Kagome’s chocolate ones, “Name’s Ally Smith and I just moved here from America.”
“Kagome Higurashi.” Kagome introduced herself, then settled comfortably in her seat as the cab headed toward her new apartment.
Opening the envelope, she realized what was inside.
In the envelope was a large stack of pictures, the front ones were of the culture festival she had worked so hard to prepare and help with.
‘I had to sing, cook and play the lead part in that stupid play.’ Kagome thought, thumbing through the photos until she came across one of her and InuYasha, she had still been in costume at the time.
‘my knight in armor.’ Kagome thought sadly as the cab pulled up in front of the apartments. Placing the pictures back in the envelope she paid the man and then took her boxes towards the door, with a little help from Ally.
They made their way to their room, having to take the elevator to the seventh floor.
Going into the room which would serve as her bedroom for the next four years, Kagome began to finish unpacking the rest of her things. Having started moving in a few days ago, she had gotten most of her unpacking done already.
“There.” She said triumphantly, placing the last item on the night stand next to her bed; a beat up pink alarm clock.
Waling over to the door, closing it, she then took a seat on her bed, thumbing through the rest of her photos.
Smiling when she got to the pictures taken at InuYasha’s party, her expression softened further when she came across the photo Miroku had taken shortly after the party.
She had crossed the country side, hunted demons, gone on the wildest treasure hung imaginable, yet in the end, would there be a happy ever after? The princes had been saved, she was safe, the demon had been slain, the jewel completed, yet where was her knight. 500 years in the past.
“I failed him.” Kagome said quietly, “I failed in stopping the well from sealing, who knows what happened after I left, he could have died or turned demon for all I know.”
“I just don’t get it.” Kagome said sadly to the empty room, taking the photo and placing it lovingly by her alarm clock, “I thought that they were suppose to live happily ever after.”
Smiling slightly Kagome said, “He was my knight, he saved me time and time again, it wasn’t suppose to end like this. Why can’t my fairy tale end like it’s suppose to?”
“Kagome!” the young woman called from the other side of the door, pulling her from her thoughts.
“Yes.’ she replied, standing and walking over toward the door and opened it.
“I can’t read this.” Ally said, handing her a menu for take out she was apparently trying to order from and the cordless phone on her other hand.
Sighing Kagome took the phone and menu, she proceeded to order their meal.
‘This may keep my mind on things though, college will help too I imagine,’ she thought, knowing it was going to be hard to for the young woman she was rooming with to handle school if she couldn’t even read Japanese. ‘it’ll get me by.’
“Hello I’d like to make an order please.” she said as a man answered the phone at the restaurant.
Ally looked on as the young miko walked into the other room, calling up the restaurant and ordering their food, her eyes soft as she whispered, answering the question Kagome had simply asked herself, to her empty room, “It will Kagome, you’ll see.”
Then she turned and looked out Kagome’s bedroom window from her spot from the hall and whispered, “It’s not over yet, you shouldn’t close the book before it’s finished should you. If the princess doesn’t have her prince then the stories not over yet.”
Closing the door, she headed into the room in which Kagome had gone.
She was right, her fairy tale wasn’t over, oh no, on the contrary, it was only beginning. Kagome’s knight would come to save her, it was her fairy tale, well; her Feudal Fairy tale anyway.
