Chapter 2 The Dream and Wish
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha. As for you Kikyo lovers, I'm neutral but I had to have an evil stepsister and she fit so, there she was. Okay on to the story!
Kagome had been working non- stop all day. While she worked Sango was helping her make her dress. Kikyo had said if she didn't finish she wouldn't be going to the ball, no matter what. But since Kagome couldn't do two things at once she couldn't make her dress which is what Kikyo was counting on. Of course she didn't know that Sango was helping.“How it's going?” asked Kagome. Sango smiled. “It's finished Kagome! Not to bad since the dress used to be a work dress huh?” She said.
Kagome nodded. Sango said. “You're going to look so beautiful!” Kagome smiled. “You really think so?” She asked hopefully. Sango nodded and said, smiling. “Of course! I bet the Prince will even choose you over Kikyo. That's why you're up here, Kikyo's afraid you'll steal her spotlight. That you'll finally show her up.”
Kagome smiled softly and hugged Sango. “Thanks Sango.” She whispered. She sat on the bed glancing at Sango. “I wonder what the Prince is like. I mean no one's ever seen him before. People don't even know his name.” said Kagome, softly.
Sango looked thoughtful. Just then Shippo ran in. “Kikyo is calling you Kagome!” He panted collapsing in Sango's lap causing both girls to giggle. “Alright, I should go see what the Queen wants.” Kagome said, sighing. Sango gasped and said in fake horror. “Don't ever joke about that Kagome!!” Kagome just burst out laughing on her down.
Meanwhile in the Prince's bedchambers, in the castle. “What in the hell is he thinking?!” shouted the Prince angrily. The teenage boy next to him sighed. “I'm sure Sesshoumaru has your best interest at heart Inu yasha.” said the boy, slowly not believing his words himself. The Prince whirled around golden eyes flashing.
“I can't believe you just said that Miroku! Him?! Care about me?! When dogs fly!” shouted Inu yasha. Miroku just snorted trying to hold in his laughter. He just sighed. “Prince Inu yasha, at least you can choose your Princess. That's more than your father had.” He said, calmly.
Inu yasha ran a clawed hand through his silver hand. “I know.” He said, sighing. Miroku shook his head. “Why do you think your father left you as heir and not Sesshoumaru. Because you were born out of love while Sesshoumaru was not.” said Miroku looking at Inu yasha.
Inu yasha nodded. “The moment I'm crowned King. Sesshoumaru or Naraku will try to kill me.” He finished annoyed. Miroku looked thoughtful. “Sesshoumaru wouldn't do something like that thanks to your father and Naraku is being hunted down as we speak by the royal guards. So don't worry. Just relax and enjoy the ball.” Said Miroku, grinning.
Inu yasha suddenly perked up. “Do you think she will be there?” He asked. Miroku looked surprised for a second. “That mysterious Lady Kagome?” He asked. Inu yasha just nodded. Miroku held his chin in thought. “It did say `all ladies' so that means she should be there.” He said, thoughtfully.
Inu yasha grinned. “Good, because if I have to be mated. It should be to someone as stunning as her.” He said grinning. Miroku looked curious. “Is she really that beautiful?” asked Miroku. Inu yasha just nodded. Miroku grinned. “Well, if she has captured your heart this fast I can't wait to meet her.” He said dodging a pillow, chuckling.
Back at the cottage Kagome was getting ready for the ball. Kagome looked at herself in the mirror smiling. She was wearing a dark blue ball gown with a v-shaped neck line and long sleeves. She had her hair up in a bun with a few pieces falling out.
She turned to Shippo. “Well? How do I look?” She asked while Shippo grinned. “Gorgeous!!” He shouted. Kagome smiled and shouted while going down the stairs. “Bye! See you when I get back!!” “Bye Kagome! Have fun!” Shippo shouted back.
When she got back to the main foyer, Sango and Kikyo were there. Sango was smiling brightly while Kikyo was glaring. “You look beautiful!” Sango said smiling. “Yes indeed” said Kikyo coldly. When she walked past Kikyo, she didn't see her cut part of the back in half with a knife.
Sango gasped as Kagome looked at the damage. “Kikyo!! Why did you do that?!” shouted Kagome with tears in her eyes. Kikyo just dropped the knife and said coolly. “Let us go, Sango.” Sango followed her out while looking at Kagome sadly over her shoulder.
Tears ran down her cheeks as she ran down into the garden. She sat down under a tree and stayed there for a long time until she heard someone coming. She looked up and asked “Shippo?” “No child” said an old woman. Kagome's eyes widened.
“Who are you?” She asked. The old woman smiled and said. “I am Kaede. Your godmother, it took me awhile but I finally found ye.” Kagome stared in shock and asked. “Godmother?” Kaede just nodded. “I saw the scene with that young girl.” Kaede stated softly.
Kagome just looked at the ground. “Do ye still wish to go to the ball?” asked Kaede. Kagome nodded. Kaede handed her a pink jewel. “This is the Shikon Jewel. You may wish on it but be warned the wish ends at the stroke of midnight. Also you will become the Jewel's guardian. Understand?” She asked, firmly. Kagome nodded and looked at the jewel in her hands. “Please Shikon Jewel help me.” She whispered.
A flash of pink light lit up the area. When it ended there was Kagome wearing a light blue sleeveless ball gown. Her hair was half up and half down. She saw that she was also wearing light blue glass slippers.
Also a carriage was waiting for her. She looked at Kaede with tears in her eyes. “Thank you so much Godmother!” said Kagome hugging Kaede. “Ye are welcome child. Now go along.” Kaede said chuckling. Kagome nodded sitting down in the carriage. The Shikon Jewel glowing brightly around her neck. “I'm on the way.” She thought smiling.
