Chapter 1 ~ Once upon a Time

 

Disclaimer. I don't own Inu-Yasha and friends. I don't know if I took anyone's idea and if I did, I'm very sorry. Thank You. Enjoy!

 

 

Once upon a time there was a small child named Kagome. Her mother had died when she was still a baby. Her father had wanted the best and thus remarried a beautiful woman by the name of Kasumi. She had two lovely daughters named Kikyo and Sango.

 

In a tragic twist of fate, both her father and Kasumi perished in an accident. Leaving Kikyo to be in charge since she was eldest. Kagome was moved to the attic and had to work day and night, by Kikyo's orders. While Sango was kind and helpful to her like a sister should be, Kikyo was cold and cruel.

 

Also because Kagome was almost identical to Kikyo, She made sure to let noone see Kagome. Kikyo was poise and graceful but Kagome had a charm that drew people to her. This made Kikyo jealous, like the way her helper Shippo had showed up. In this world demons were common.

 

Kagome had spotted Shippo in his fox form in a trap while gathering apples. She had freed him and he had stayed with her ever since. And that is where our story begins . . . . .

 

 

A voice shouted up the stairs startling the still semi sleeping Kagome awake. She sat up slowly; raven black hair falling in waves behind her. Her chocolate hazel eyes looked around the room for her fox demon companion, but he wasn't there. The sound of little running feet caught her ears.

 

Shippo flew through the door and sat down panting. “Shippo? What's all that yelling about?” Asked Kagome, curiously. Shippo sighed and said. “You were so tired; I wanted to let you sleep. So, I tried to do the morning chores by myself. The only one I did wrong was making the breakfast. Also. . . I . . . er . . . spilt it on Kikyo and she started yelling for you.”

 

He was looking at her nervously. Kagome giggled and ruffled his hair affectionately. “It's ok Shippo! Thanks for trying to help.” She said, smiling. Shippo then perked up. “Oh Yeah!” He shouted. Kagome cast him him a curious glance. “Sango said that they were going to the market place and we get to come!” He finished, excitingly.

 

Kagome smiled, brightly. She then heard a loud “Kagome!” and sighed. “Come on Shippo. Time to get to work or we're not going anywhere.” She said, standing. Shippo sighed and nodded. When Kagome entered Kikyo's room, Kikyo was already dressed and fuming.

 

She turned to her and glared coldly. “Kagome, clean this mess up. And for future references do not and I repeat do not let that brat near the stove. Now I've placed a list of chores for you to do on the kitchen table.

 

Have them finished by noon and be presentable then you can go into town with Sango and I. Is that clear?” She finished just as cold. Kagome nodded and started to clean up. When she sat down at the table and looked at the long list of chores. She sighed sadly, just as Sango came into the kitchen. She looked at her in worry. “Kagome? You okay?” She asked.

 

Kagome just nodded as Sango gave her the look “Spill now or else”. “I don't think I'm going into town with you and Kikyo.” Said Kagome, sadly. “Why not?” Asked Sango. Kagome just showed her the list. Sango smiled and said cheerfully. “I'll help and between you, me and Shippo.

 

This can all be done by the time the carriage arrives. Even Kirara can even help.” Kagome smiled. “You're right Sango! What am I doing just sitting here?! There's allot of work to do!” She said determinedly. Sango grinned and stood as Kagome did.

 

Later that afternoon Kagome was smiling while Kikyo was fuming angrily. Sango and Shippo were wearing identical grins. Kagome wasn't watching where she was going and ended up bumping into someone.

 

“Oh! I'm so sorry!” She said hurriedly. The person was wearing a cloak so the only thing she could see was a set of golden eyes. Shock filled golden eyes at that. She heard a loud “Kagome!” and said as she ran off. “I've got to go. Sorry again!” The person just whispered. “Kagome” Kagome ran up to Sango as she waved. “Kagome! Look!” She shouted.

 

Kagome looked to where she was pointing. “Royal ball … . . .. The Prince will choose his Princess. All ladies must attend.” She thought. She looked at Sango excitedly and said. “All ladies! Which means I get to go too!” Sango nodded. “Come on, we need to get some supplies. Tomorrow night is the ball. We don't have much time.” Sango finished just as excited.

 

Kagome then paused. “What about Kikyo? Surely she will do something to make it so I can't go.” She said, worriedly. “She can't this time. All ladies, Kagome. It's out of her hands.” Said Sango, grinning. Kagome just nodded and smiled brightly. Her heart became lighter and lighter as she walked down the street arm in arm with Sango.
