Prologue

" 'There was something about terrific sex that always made a man think he could conquer the world. But true, soul-shattering lovemaking? It made a man know he could. Which is exactly how Luke felt the next morning'. Oh really Princess?" the raven haired boy laughed at his employers, and his friends, choice in reading.

"Yes, really Miroku. Now shut your mouth!" the Princess laughed with the man called Miroku. They had been friends for as long either of them could remember.

"Pardon my curiosity Princess Kagome, but, well, have you and Prince Kouga, done anything resembling the novel?" Miroku had a bit of a blush as he asked the question.

"Miroku!" Princess Kagome's mouth opened in shock at her friend asking such a thing. "Now that is a bit out of line, wouldn't you think?"

"Of course miss. I'm sorry." he bowed his head slightly, apologizing to those higher up.

"Don't worry about it." Kagome looked around to make sure no one was listening, "He tried to. But personally I think he is revoltive and if I ever have to sleep with him I will vomit non-stop until I am dead."

"Why? He is the fairest Prince of all time. Why since the warring era, there had never been another as gorgeous as he apparently."

"Feh. Are you serious Miroku? Just thinking about him makes me want to gag." Kagome rolled her eyes.

"KAGOME! GET DOWN HERE!" a voice boomed through the semi-quiet conversation.

"Coming father." Kagome called timidly.

"MIROKU! BACK TO WORK!"

"Yes sir!" Miroku called, slightly louder, but still as afraid. The king could get very angry, especially in regards to Kagome.

Kagome ran out of her chamber and down the long hallway. She narrowly resisted the urge to slid down the banister; instead, she walked like a lady, slow and gracefully down the long, grand staircase. The torches were lit, but there was still hardly enough light to see where she was going. Her father didn't believe in electricity, he was very much stuck in the thirteen hundreds. Her father also believed if she was going to be the heir to the throne, she should act more like it. Kagome made her way passed the dinning room and into the common room.

"Yes Father?" she bowed to her father at the door enterance before he waved her forward.

"Kagome. You were playing with the pigs weren't you?" he rubbed his temple, the universal signal that his head ached.

"No Father. I haven't played with the pigs . . . " Kagome looked down and mummbled under her breath, "Lately."

"Kagome!" he growled.

"Really, I haven't in like three days." she smiled light-heartedly, but her father ignored her.

"Kagome," he tried to be calm. "You are the Princess. You are first in line for the throne, regardless of what the old ways allow. You are the first born, though I personally believe your dear brother should be first in line. I can't choose of course."

"Fine! Let Prince Souta be first in line! I don't want to be!"

"Kagome! Don't you dare take that tone with me! I will exile you so help me!"

"Father! News flash! It's two thousand and four! There might still be Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses but You don't need to act so old fashioned!" Kagome put her hands on her hips in a look of defiance.

"Kagome!" her father's hand rose to slap her across the face and she braced herself. His hand however stopped in mid air. "Go to your room!" Kagome complied and turned around, running back to her room.

"Why can't she be more like you, Souta?" Kagome looked to her brother as he walked up to talk to their father. How she hated him. How she hated her whole family.

"Miroku?" Kagome called once she reached the top of the staircase.

"I'm making up your fathers chambers Kagome." he called from down the hall.

Kagome skipped to her fathers room to find Miroku fluffing his pillows.

"Lady Kaede is here to work on your training." Miroku announced.

"How do you know? The guards didn't come for me." Kagome tilted her head in curiostity.

"I saw her outside, arriving at the main gate." Miroku stated.

"Damnit!"

"Princess" Miroku faked a gasp and Kagome rolled her eyes.

"I'll see you at dinner then Miroku." Kagome trotted out of the room.

Another boring day, with boring people, in the boring life.

"' . . . Which is exactly how luke felt the next morning.'? What kind of junk are you reading? That is a chick book!"

"Shut up Sango! It's not like I like it or anything. I'm reading it for the action." a boy sat opposite the unkempt girl. He wasn't quite normal either, his hair was long and silver, almost white. He had furry, triangular shaped dog years, sitting softly atop his head. And if one looked closely, one could see the boy had extremely long finger nails, to the point of resembling claws. He was no normal boy indeed.

"Don't tell me to shut up Yash! I'll whip you!" Sango stood up and challenged the boy.

"Oh yeah. You think so? Lets go bitch!" 'Yash', as he was called, stood up and circled Sango. As the boy flexed his claws the girl backed away.

"Kirara!" she called. Suddenly a vicious looking cat jumped down from the shelf, and grew to be quadruple its normal size.

"Ahh you're cheating!" Yash complained.

"Haha. You didn't say I couldn't use Kirara." Sango stuck her tongue out and Inuyasha sulked back to the chair he was sitting in before.

"Whatever." he picked up his book and read.

"You usually don't mind playing with Kirara. Are you feeling okay?" Sango sat down next to the boy and tried to get him to look up to her.

"I'm sick of it Sango." he put the book down and looked up at the girl. "We live in this crappy trailer, feh, it can't even be called a trailer, its a shack, its a fricken piece of shit! Five people shouldn't live in a one room piss hole! I just want money, so that we can finally have a life that is worth having. You don't even deserve this. You could be as rich and powerful as the king himself, if it weren't for me. Because of what I am I brought you down to this level. I'm sorry Sango."

"Stop talking foolish. You have nothing to be sorry for. Money won't make you happy Inuyasha. So what if we lived in a palace like the King and Queen, or like the people in your fantasy novels. Yash, we have love, the love a family. Do you really think the Princess is happy? Up there in the castle, having to marry someone she probably doesn't love. Just because she has a fancy house, and fancy cars and clothes, doesn't mean she is happy Inuyasha." Sango had her hand on Inuyasha's shoulders, and she doned her usual 'speech' composure (since Inuyasha went into a depression phase at least once a month).

"What do you know Sango? You live the same shitty life I do." he grumbled.

"Our life isn't perfect, but I'm happy living with you." she smiled cheerfully and he felt slightly guilty. He did like Shippou, Sango, Rin, and even his half-brother Sesshomaru; but, he didn't like the life-style in which they were living. If only he could get the king to give him some of his money. Just then an idea came to him and he grinned devilishly.

"Sango! I have an idea."

"Uh oh."

"It's a good one. I'm going to kidnap the Princess! Then the King will have to give me money for her! It will be perfect."

"Bad, bad idea Inuyasha!" Sango warned.

"Feh, what do you know? Human." he stuck his tongue out. For some reason he believed being a Hanyou made him more superior at . . . everything.

"No! I won't be any part of it!"

"Who asked you to be? Look, its perfect, Sess and Rin are gone for a few days to see whoever I don't really care, Shippou wont tell anyone, and of course you won't either."

"Oh yes I will." Sango put her hands on her hips and looked to Inuyasha sternly.

"No you won't Sango." he pouted his lips and gave her a genuine 'puppy-dog' gaze.

"Oh," she frowned and stomped her feet. "You suck!" Inuyasha smiled and hugged the girl.

"I know! But you love me!" he raised and dropped his eyebrows quickly, making him look even more evil. "So, here is what we are going to do . . . "

"Princess, you aren't trying." Lady Kaede chastized. Lady Kaede was elderly. She was slightly hunched over, and it made the already short woman remarkably shorter. She had been training Kagome since she was born, and she had trained her mother before that. Kaede had been quite close to the Higarashi line for as long as they had reigned.

"Yes I am Ma'am." she released another arrow, hitting the practice dummy where a set of family jewels would lie on a real man.

"Nice shot, but you are aiming for his chest." Lady Kaede gave her a knowing look.

"Opps." she said in a chipper tone. "Do I have to keep practicing? It's not like Father ever lets me leave the house anyway."

"Yes, you must keep practicing, or I don't get paid." Another shot arrow straight through the left shoulder. "Closer."

"Lady Kaede. Tell me about my mother." Kagome asked, preparing another arrow.

"Your mother? She was the fairest Queen ever to reign. She had long ebony locks, much like your own, she had a slender figure a bright smile which graced the presence of anyone within the town. She was generous and friendly. Everything that you are growing up to be."

"I'll never be like my mother." Kagome half-heartedly shot the next arrow, which ended up straight in the dummies chest.

"I think you will be." Lade Kaede smiled and Kagome tried to return the gesture, "call it a day dear. Go play."

"Thanks Lady Kaede." she hugged the elderly lady and ran back into the castle.


Kagome sat in her room, dinner was uneventful as always. It mainly consisted of more idle chatter of how she should be more like her brother. She had been thinking about her mother a lot lately. She had died give birth to Souta when Kagome was just two. Her father hated her, that was obvious by the way he always chastized her and said that she should be more like her brother. Well sorry dad that I don't have a dick! She thought bitterly as she looked out her window. She often sat on the window seat, holding her stuffed wolf (a gift from Lady Kaede) looking out the window; waiting for someone to take her away from this place.
§¤*~

"KAGOME! GET UP! ITS TIME!" her father's stern voice broke any chance of her getting extra sleep before the long day ahead of her.

She was to spend the day with the most arogant, ugly, self-absorbed, disgusting, perverted, nasty Prince ever! Her fiance, Prince Kouga.

"Kouga will be here in five minutes Princess." Miroku said from outside the door.

"I'm up." Kagome yawned into her pillow, "I'm up." she repeated.

Finally getting out of bed, she dressed for the day. Her father wanted her to wear a nice dress. Mini-skirts count right? She smiled as she slipped on the black skirt and the lilac tank-top. It was going to be ninty degrees today with fourty percent humidity, no way was she wearing a full length dress with long sleeves.

"Princess. Your father is growing impacient." Miroku said through the door.

Kagome threw her hair up in a stylish, but messy, bun and made sure she looked cute. She put on her mothers necklace, one of the only items she had of her mothers, and sprayed herself with Berry Blossom perfume. She opened the door and Miroku looked her up and down.

"If you weren't a Princess I'd throw you on that bed and ravage you." Miroku said lecherously.

"Hentai!" Kagome hit him on the arm. True, her best friend had always been a pervert and she was used to it so she didn't think so much of it. "Guess I'm off to greet Prince Kouga eh?"

"Seems that way." Miroku smiled and led her to the court yard.
