When you first click on a story and that that yellow box thing comes up saying the whole summary for the story, what I'm talking about is the thing right underneath it ok? Just check that to make sure there are more chapters, but the computers not showing it. Or it could just be my computer that's having problems with it and I sound like a lunatic. Sorry if that's the case. And because my stupid computer is still not showing me all my reviews, thanks to whoever reviewed, and the pairings for Kouga are still

Ayame- 3

One more thing before I let you go on,

 

READ THIS!!!!!!!!! READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I am very sorry to say that this chapter and any others I write this weekend may be my last this month. I am sooooo sorry but I may have to go somewhere where I can't get a hold of a computer that I can write on. I'll try to find another one so I can write at less one but you may not be hearing from me for about a month. Again, I am so sorry. But I promise as soon as I can I will write. So I didn't give my fic up or anything ok?

 

 

Any way, this chapter is finally the one where the Inuyasha crews aren't kids anymore! Expect for Sesshourmaru and Kikyo, they're still adults, and they didn't get old or anything ok? Hope you like this chapter, and keep reviewing even if I have no idea what you're saying!

 

Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha, or Snow White. Inuyasha belongs to the lady whose name I can't spell, and Snow White belongs to Walt Disney. Who turned out to be afraid of mice by the way.

***Queen Kikyo's Castle, Four Years After King Nobunaga's Death***

(Kagome and Kagura's 16, Inuyasha and Miroku's 18, Sango's 17)

 

“Kagome!”

I sighed and got up out of bed when I hear the voice and the pounding on the door. Time to see what the Bitch wanted so early. I yawned and tossed my blanket over my shoulders for modesty's sake. I don't know why I bothered. It's not like the clothing I have to wear covers anything, but wherever Kikyo was, her freak lover Naraku was sure to follow. Now that I was old enough to understand these things, I knew Naraku wanted me. The only reason he hadn't raped me yet, (what, you think I'm going to sleep with that thing voluntarily?) was because Kikyo kept him on a tight leash. No sex with anyone else but her unless she was included. And thank Kami she did not want to have a threesome with me. The pounding on the door increased and I hurried to open it. I raised an eyebrow at the long flimsy kimono she was wearing, and leaned against the door, crossing my arms.

“Didn't get enough of your beauty sleep Kikyo? By the looks of it you've gotten even less than usual.” I taunted. She slapped me. I was expecting it, but it was so most fun to annoy the Bitch that it was worth it.

“Shut up you damn flea,”

`Whoa new one Kikyo, damn flea, that hurts so much.'

“Get dressed, we have guests coming and I need you to clean three male rooms, and one female room for them, wash the floors, draw water, and then clean all the dirt from the steps before and after they arrive. You will wait on Lady Kagura when she comes. If there are any mistakes or imperfections after you're done-“

“You'll throw me in the moat again to rot, only for a month this time, I've heard the speech before Kikyo.”

“No food for you today for daring to address me without proper form and interrupting me maggot.” She turned and would have made a good exit if she hadn't tripped over the yards of material of kimono was made out of. I rolled my eyes behind her as Naraku rushed to help her up, sending a dark look my way.

`Oh yeah loser, I really made her trip over that thing she calls a kimono. All my fault, I used my special miko powers to do it. Get a life moron.'

“Hope you had a nice trip Kikyo.” I said cheerfully and closed the door.

Yeah the insult was old but Kikyo couldn't understand anything more complex than that.

“No breakfast tomorrow either, bitch!” she screamed behind the closed door. I smirked. Yep, annoying her is worth it.

I took my shift off, tucked it neatly under the mattress, bound my chest, and put on my uniform. It hadn't changed much over the years, expect when my breasts started to grow the shirt became a little tighter around them. When I saw Naraku start staring at my chest instead of my legs, and Kikyo never let me get a bigger uniform, I started binding my breast so tight it hurt when I moved wrong. But my shirt returned to the way it had been while my chest was almost flat, and I figured a little pain sometimes was better than having that bastard stare at me. I slipped my sandals on and when to get water for the cook before starting any of my other chores. When Kikyo found out that many of the servants were loyal to me and helped me with my chores she fired most of the young ones, kept most of the old ones who were of no use to her, or me and replaced them with servants who Kikyo paid to be cruel to me. The cook was old and weak, but nice to me so I got her water in the morning so she wouldn't get hurt doing it herself. I went down to the well, got some water, and made my way to the kitchen. The old cook looked up from boiling tea when she saw me, and smiled.

“Hello Kagome, here early then usually aren't you?”

I poured the water into the huge bucket she would use later, picked up a carrot she had been cutting, sat on the counter, and started to eat. Kikyo's servants never came in the kitchen this early, so I could relax and eat something for a little bit.

“Hey Mayu, Kikyo has guests coming and wants me to clean.” I rolled my eyes and nibbled on the carrot. I didn't want to eat to fast because this may be the only thing I eat all day. She saw the way I was eating it and sent a disapproving look at me.

“Kagome, did you get in trouble again?”

I shrugged, took another bite and started swinging my legs.

“Depends what you call trouble. See I thought I was telling the truth, but for some reason Kikyo was insulted by it.” I said innocently. Mayu snorted.

“I suppose you told her she was ugly then?”

I never could get past Mayu.

“Yeah, if you want to call it that.”

She sighed. “How long is she not allowing you meals this time?”

“Till tomorrow at lunch.”

“Kagome!” she threw a dishrag at me, “You have to stop making fun of Kikyo! Your skin and bones as it is!”

“I can't help it! It's just so tempting it's worth the risk of no dinner.” I paused, hearing people coming down the stairs. I shoved the rest of the carrot in my mouth, jumped off the counter, and gave Mayu a kiss on the cheek as I raced by.

“Gotta go, don't want Kikyo's servants finding me here. Bye Mayu.”

“I'll see you later honey.”

I raced out the door to the back and ran to the wings were the nobles slept in while they stay here. I took my cleaning supplies out of the little closet I kept them in at the end of the hall and headed toward the room where Kagura stayed in when she was here. I hoped Kagura would get here soon; I haven't seen her in awhile and missed having someone to talk to. Kikyo loved having her over, because she thought seeing her reminded me of my old life, and what I have now. The only thing that hurts is that Kagura has to pretend that she hates me to go here.

 

*** Flashback***

I rubbed the rag harder against the railing I was cleaning. Kikyo had ordered me to clean it till see could see herself in the wood. Personally, I don't see why she would want to look at herself in wood because we have perfectly good mirrors hanging around the palace and I doubt anyone wants to look at her face, even her herself. Yeah she's pretty, but she has coldness to her face that could chop ice.

“Kagome! Get over here.”

I sighed, wiping my hands against the short skirt I wore.

`Wonder what the she wants now. Better go if I want any dinner this week.'

I wandered into the great hall where Kikyo's voice had ringed out. I was about to give her some smart remark to annoy her, again, when I saw Kagura standing there.

`Yes! Kagura's here! She must be here to help me! Thank you so much Kami! I owe you one for sending her here! Damn you're great!'

I stood there; waiting for Kagura to slap Kikyo hard in the face, maybe even slice her with her wind as we've been dreaming of doing all summer after seeing me in the state I was in. I couldn't wait to get on Kagura's feather too, it's so soft and fluffy, and an absolute dream to ride on. But then she did the thing I'd least expected.

She laughed.

She turned to Kikyo still laughing and said,

“Thank you so much! This so only what the little brat deserved, I am so glad someone finally put her in her place, on the floor with her betters above her!”

Kikyo blinked

“But aren't you her friend?”

Kagura snorted

“Please, as if I'd be friends with her. Father made me at least act like a friend towards her so I could get close to her and her father. He went on and on about how much it could help us in the long run until I finally agreed just to shut him up. I am so glad I don't anymore! Now if you please Queen Kikyo, would you permit me to still visit your castle? I don't want to get into trouble with my father. And I would if he thought I wasn't friendly with Kagome.”

A cold cruel smile came across Kikyo's lips.

“Of course my dear, you are welcome to come when you like. I shall even make Kagome wait on you when you're here, won't that be fun?” She snapped her fingers

“Kagome! Bring Lady Kagura to a room! Make sure she is at ease and has all she desires!”

I obeyed, which I did without complaining, still in utter shock. The only thing I could do was walk Kagura to her room and try to get it through my head.

`She never liked me? She just used me? Oh Kami, how could I have been such a fool'

Then anger it hit me.

`Fine, I'll just make her life living hell whenever she's here, I don't care what they do to me!'

We meet it to the room and I showed her in, and as coldly as I could, bowed and said,

“Do you require anything else tonight Lady Kagura?”

She looked hurt, then pushed me in and closed the door, sinking to her knees.

“Please, please, please forgive me Kagome! I didn't mean it! I just needed a reason to come here and still be you're friend! I'm sorry.” She clutched what little she could of my skirt and started sobbing.

Once again, I stood there in shock until I slid my knees down to the floor and hugged her, letting her cry on my shoulder and muttering that I forgave her over and over until she calmed down. Then I said quietly,

“Thanks Kagura, it's nice to know my life hasn't totally changed.”

She wiped her eyes and sat up.

“You are telling me everything. Now.”

So I told her everything that happened from when she had let, to where we were now. Somehow we had managed to sit on the window seat together like we had done when I was still a princess. Some things never change.

“So that bitch is making you clean for her?”

“Yeah, it's not that bad-“

“Not that bad? Do you hear yourself talk Kags? You're being forced to work in your own castle under Kikyo, you're barely wearing clothing, and your hands are getting hard and cracked.”

I shrugged.

“It could be worse. And besides, if I'm going to rule someday I should know more about my people. And my people don't sit around like nobles do. They work. That's what I'm doing in a way.”

“Kagome, how do you even know you're going to rule now? Kikyo pretty much stole your throne from you by making you little more than a servant!”

I gave her a look,

“Do you really think I'm going to let Kikyo rule over my people? A snowball in hell has a better chance of not melting, then my people have of prospering under Kikyo's reign. Don't worry I will get the throne back and fix any mistakes Kikyo screwed up on while she was queen. It's what dad would have wanted.” I added quietly. Kagura handed me a bar of chocolate, which was supposed to be comforting. It's a thing Kagura and me do, if one person is upset the other gives them chocolate. I ate it like I hadn't eaten in two days. Which I hadn't. Kagura stared at me in amazement.

“You really weren't kidding when you said you hadn't eaten much did you?”

I shrugged, licking chocolate off my fingers.

`Maybe I should tell my dad about this, maybe he can help you.”

“Don't! If you let your father know, and he does something it can ruin our alliance with each other. We need you guys as allies, and your father can't take me away legally anyway, and if he did, it could cause a huge war. Just don't bother. I'll be fine, I promise. As long as we still have our friendship, I'll be fine, but you can't tell anyone!”

Kagura nodded slowly, not liking it, but seeing the logic it in.

I sighed,
“Good, now if you excuse me I have to go to bed. I guess we have to act like we hate each other now?”

She nodded regretfully.

“It's better than nothing. Oh yeah, don't let Rin find out either if she asks about me, tell her, I don't know; tell her Kikyo sent me away somewhere. Night Kagura, see you in the morning.”

“Good night Kagome. And again, I'm so sorry-“

“Whatever, I'm just glad you got Kikyo to let you come here still.” I said interrupting her before she could start up again about how sorry she was.

“See ya.”

And I closed the door before she could say anything else.

 

*** End of Flashback***

 

`And I thought life was hard back then. It's worse now that I'm older and stronger and can do more work. Not to mention Kaede was kicked out when I was 14, along with all the other servants loyal to me. Oh well, I know Kaede is out there somewhere, I would have felt it if she died. I bet she's gathering all the people loyal to me and creating an army for me right this every moment. I better get back to work, or Kikyo will make sure I don't live to see my 18th birthday. Stupid Bitch.'

I shook my head to clear it and went back to cleaning the windows in one of the nobleman's rooms. Whoever it was that was getting this room and the other two must be a prince or something. The room had dark wood floors, with dark red carpets over them. The walls were also red and some had murals of battles and old epics covering them. The bed matched the floor with a black canopy, and red curtains that would shield the bed from the cold in the winter, stretching across the wooden posts. The down cover was black, with a picture of a snarling dragon on it, but the pillows and sheets were silk red. A fireplace was in the front of the room, with a couple of chairs, a couch and a huge table in front of it. The mantle had statues of tigers, lions and others from the cat family on it and all kind of candles. The picture above it was an ancient king hunting. The room was a total guy retreat while they were here, and for being a slut and bitch, Kikyo had pretty good taste to put this room together. Or she had one heck of an interior designer. I can't see Kikyo putting her nail job at risk to even draw this out on paper so I was guessing she had a designer. I wiped the windows dry, smoothed the covers on the bed once more, and left a little caramel candy on the pillow. I don't care what Kikyo said, guests hate the chocolate mint candies she wants to put on the pillows instead. I have to throw out, and reuse all of the chocolate mint junk because guests never eat them. But they all eat the caramel and demand more for the next night. I gathered all of my cleaning stuff and started on Kagura's room, which was in the hall next to the three rooms I had prepared. She had a nice room to. It had purple walls with a dark purple rug covering the floor. The bed only had four posts and it had light, silky, purple and green curtains hanging from the sides and on the top of the posts. It was more for style than warmth, but it looked really pretty. She had a huge balcony outside, giving a great view of the forest, and of a perfect sunset and sunrise when evening and morning came. And at the other end of the room there's a big window and a window seat that we just sat on and talked, or just sit there in silence while I made some more arrows and she just stared out the window. Sometimes I can't believe how good of friends we've remained all this time. Sometimes I just expected her to throw me out of her room and start treating me like a normal servant. But she doesn't and I stop thinking like that. And then I think about Rin. Sometimes I wish I could just see her again, even if only for a minute. She was such a happy, cheerful, funny kid. Rin was the type of person that could make anyone laugh at anytime. When we were kids she got us out of a lot of trouble just by making the person who had caught us laugh so hard they forgot what we did or why we were there. I asked Kagura about her once but she couldn't tell me anything. She went by Rin's place once, but there were very few people there and it looked like her home hadn't been cleaned in weeks. She had asked a servant where Rin and her parents were but he just shook his head sadly and said that we had no idea what had become of them. Rin and her mother and father had been in a room together when the servants heard screams and things being broken inside. They tried to go inside but the door had been blocked and wouldn't open no matter what they did. When they finally did get it open, they didn't even do it. They had been sleeping by the wall, when the door slowly opened and the servants finally rushed inside. Rin's father was dead, her mother half dead and insane, and Rin gone. They were trying to keep the castle best they could run smoothly by themselves until Rin's mother came out of her depression or, in some hope, when Rin came home. But it had been so long and with no money coming to the servants, many left for other homes they could serve in. A few servants had stayed but they couldn't try to run the castle by themselves forever. They would have to leave also, letting it fall apart as they did. But they would try as long as they could. Kagura made regular trips back and forth to Rin's home but nothing had changed. Rin's mother was still insane and Rin was still gone. I slowly stretched after finishing Kagura's room and decided that as soon as I was Queen I would hire people to take care of Rin's mom, her house and send people out to find Rin. If she was still alive that is. I shook myself; I couldn't think like that. Of course she was alive! This was Rin I was thinking about! If she could sweet talk Kaede and make her laugh even after we used her herbs to paint the walls and our bodies, she could talk anyone out if killing her! I rotated my neck, trying to get rid of some of the tension on it as I put my cleaning things back in the little closet. I just have to trust Rin to keep herself alive until I can find her. I can do that much for anyway right now. Okay, time to stop think about Rin, now what did I have to do next? Oh yeah, clean the steps out in the courtyard. Lovely.

 

 

***King Sesshourmarus's Carriage***

I growled, slouching even lower in my seat, my arms crossed tightly across my chest.

“Why am I coming with you again?”

Sesshourmaru looked at me with that cold superior look to his face that I hate.

“Because I need a mate to bear me heirs so there's no way you can rule, and it's time for the Western Lands to get a Queen. I can hardly trust you and Lord Miroku alone at the castle I have to bring you with me to find a suitable female.”

I sneered,

“Well don't rush around trying to get a bitch on my account brother dearest, I have no desire to rule.”

He sighed and didn't bother to respond to that. I looked over to Miroku who had barely talked during the last few days of the trip. He hadn't even been groping or asking the women we've been meeting to bear his child.

“And what's wrong with you?”

I asked, tired of seeing him like that. He shrugged, not bothering to look up from the window he was staring out of.

“I got a letter a few days ago.”

I growled,

“Of what exactly?”

“Lady Sango's father had written to me about the disappearance of his daughter. He wanted me to lent him a few of my troops to help search for her.”

“So that's why you're moping around? Over another girl? That's sad Miroku. Do you realize how many beautiful wenches we've meet so far? And have you even looked at one of them? No, so snap out of it and go back to your old self. She'll be found. And once she finds out how much you've pinned away and worried about her, she'll start to think you actually love her! Can't have that now can we?” I asked. Miruko had been in love with her for so frigging long; even I don't remember how long it's been. But she has no idea how he feels. But no matter what I try to do to get him to tell her he never does. He was close to saying it one time when we were 15, but he sneaked up behind her, so Sango bashed him over the head because she thought he was going to grope her and he said something that sounded like,

“Sango I-I-I, lo-oove your boobs.”

He meant to say `I love you' but it came out wrong and she hit him again. He gets to see her a lot when she's in his area killing demons. And he always gets hit at least once.

He looked alarmed when I said `love' and turned right back into his usual self, going on and on about women. When I couldn't take it any longer I interrupted him to ask Fluffy where he where going this time. He grimaced,

“Queen Kikyo's castle for a break and then back on the road.”

Miroku's eyes lighted up when he heard that.

“Isn't that where Kagome lives?”

My ears twitched at the sound of her name and in memory of what she had done to them. Sesshourmaru shrugged slightly,

“I suppose, bit I haven't heard much news about her lately. Kikyo may have sent her away somewhere.

I growled when he said that.

`That bitch better not have sent my Kagome away!'

…

`Did I just think that? Oh Kami I did not just think that! She isn't mine!'

`But she should be.'

`No she shouldn't! She's an annoying little brat.'

`But that annoying little brat loved your ears, and rubbed them real good to.'

`So? I just let her touch them to make her feel better. I didn't like it that much.'

`Did to, you loved it, and now you want her.'

`I do not! And, wait a minute am I arguing with myself?'

`If you want to call it that. I'm really just the little voice inside your head that tells you what you really want and what's right and wrong.'

`Oh Kami, I am crazy.'

`Maybe. But you still want Kagome to be your bitch.'

“I do not want Kagome to be my bitch!”

Sesshourmaru and Miruko looked at me funny and I realized I had spoken out loud.

“Heh heh, some dream huh?”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

I rubbed harder at a stubborn dirt stain on the stairs. Kikyo at last minute commanded me to put lemon in the water so the steps would look better so I had to wipe the steps all over again, while getting lemon water in the cuts I had all over my hand and making it sting and bleed. I think their supposed to heal better this way through. The lemon kills the germs in the cut, making it less likely to catch infection. I think. Or was that some other plant? I couldn't remember anymore, but I know Kaede had taught me about that. It's stupid, I forgot all the things she taught me that come in handy and remember all the things that I don't need to know. I'll have to sneak back in her hut and read through all her scrolls and papers on healing again some night. It's still around and Kikyo never bothered with having it cleaned out or anything. Thank Kami she's such a lazy bitch. I finally got rid of the dirt and stretched my back and arms out. I cracked my neck and gathered up the bucket and rag, as I walked down the stairs to dump the water out. I dumped the water out over the dirt so the lemon wouldn't hurt the grass and paused to look at the woods. It was so peaceful, there was nothing I would have loved then to grab my bow and arrows, and a good book, and hide out there all day. But that was a something only nobles had time for and I had to get a clean bucket to fill the pitchers in the guest's room with water. I walked towards the kitchen, grabbed a clean bucket and put the old one by the sink to be rinsed out later, patted the old cooks hand quietly when I went by, careful not to let Kikyo's servants see it and walked over to the well. If I finished things to quickly Kikyo made sure to get me something else to do so I learned to take my time and not give her that chance. I tied the rope around the handle and lowered the bucket into the well. I got it filled, got two pitchers filled with water, came back and filled the bucket, and filled the last two pitches of water. Done. Now to hide the rest of the day from Kikyo. I walked down to the kitchen, put the bucket back and tried to quietly walk back out before one of Kikyo's servants saw me. But one of the maid's lovely new son who was there with her cried out as soon as he saw me and wanted to be picked up. So Kikyo's darling servant found me and told me the Bitch wanted to see me in the dining room. But I had to hold and cuddle the boy before I could leave because he wouldn't stop screaming to see me. Normally I love kids, and have a gift with them, but this was the first time I wish I didn't. So I walked as slow as I could to the dining room, making Kikyo wait 15 minutes before I showed up.

“So nice of you to grant us with your presence harlot.”

“Looks like someone's been reading, or did one of your many lovers call you that during sex?”

She hit me, hard enough to leave a bruise and make my mouth bleed. I wiped the blood away and got up from the ground, not saying a word.

“Shut up bitch. When the guests come here you are to avoid them at all times, you can not even go to them if you're life is in danger. You will not confront them. If you do and I find out, which I will, you will be killed. Now go, and only serve Lady Kagura. Also, replace all the candles on the top floors. Leave.”

She swept past me, not evening looking behind her to see if I was doing anything.

…

Did Kikyo just order me to avoid the guests? I don't have to wait on them?

“YES!!!!”

I looked around to see if anyone heard my outburst and left to replace the candles on the top floor.

 

 

Naraku slowly trailed his hand up and down Kikyo's arm and nibbled on her neck as she sat on her bed with him.

She raised a finger toward the painting of angels on her wall and let a bolt of energy left her finger and hit one of the buttons.

“Kanna!”

A small girl with white hair, a while kimono, flowers around her head, and a small mirror in her heads appeared as the wall with the painting swung open. She stepped out and walked towards Kikyo.

“Mistress?” she asked, waiting to she what Kikyo asked of her.

“Am I once again the most beautiful in the land?”

The mirror's surface in Kanna's hands, started to swirl and move around, like water rippling on a lake, until a picture appeared. It was a woman wearing a Youkai slayer suit, carrying a huge boomerang behind her. She was hopelessly lost in the forest, and then the image changed to the slayer being outnumbered by angry and hungry demons. Just as Kikyo had planned it. She laughed evilly,

“Good, now that Sango is out of the way, I can be the most beautiful again, and break her little tribe up, so I can take over her village.”

She shuddered as Naraku started to trail his hand toward her breast.

“Do you know how sexy you sound when you're getting ready to destroy someone's life?”

Kikyo moaned as his hand reached her breast.

“Mmm do you think? How about you show me how turned on you are pet.”

As the couple got deeper into their fucking, the little white girl was forgotten, so she slipped quietly back into the wall and back into darkness.

AN: Yay I'm done! It only took me 4 hours to. Now I have to read over it and check for mistakes. Joy. So I hoped you guys liked that chapter, and I hope your glad I didn't give Kikyo and the red-eyed freak a lemon. You know how gross that would be? God I don't even want to think about it. Oh yeah, and if any of you have ideas about the other 2 guys rooms tell me will ya? I have no idea yet how I'm going to do those. Thanks to everyone who reviewed last week and who will review this week. And please tell me who you think Kouga should get paired up with Ayame, or Kagura. And then you can tell me who Kagura should get paired up with, if not Kouga, because I'm running out of people to use. Ayame's easy, just get her married to some unmentioned wolf but Kagura's not. Anyway, thanks for reading. Review and I'll see you later!
