[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
AN: Hello my lovely readers. I was going to wait a couple days to write again, but I was in a really good mood today. Yay for me. Ok so here’s the new story called, ‘Donkey Skin...Sort of Prologue' it’s going to be kinda long, but not to bad. Maybe three or four parts, five at the least. Review afterwards, and I hope you like this one.
Oh yeah, this is probably one of the few fic’s where I have Inuyasha and Kagome ‘falling in love at first sight’ (GAG) because I can’t think of a way for them to meet. Any of you have any ideas TELL ME PLEASE.

Disclaimer- I don’t own Inuyasha or ‘Donkey Skin’ what kind of name is that anyway? ‘Donkey Skin’ sounds like a really bad rash or something.

Prologue

Once upon a time there lived a king named Hojo. He was one of the happiest kings in Japan, or so he considered himself. His palace was filled with treasures from around the world, his gardens the best in the east, in his stables he had the fastest Arab racing horses, milk white with big brown eyes. He was one of the richest kings ever thanks to a donkey with very large ears. While many people wondered why the king would consider this donkey one of his greatest treasures, they could not have known that every night buckets and rivers of gold poured out of his ears, which where picked up in the morning and brought to the palace treasury by it’s caretakers. But best of all he had a kind, wise, woman as his wife and queen who he was very much in love with named Mayu. Mayu was also one of the most beautiful queens that had ever been seen, with the longest, blackest hair in Japan, pale white skin, and eyes that could rival sapphires for their beauty. All his subjects loved him and his queen, for his fairness and kindness towards his people was lengendry. All in all King Hojo of the East was one of the luckiest men in Japan.
Until one day his beloved wife got sick.
She got sicker and sicker until finally the court doctors said there was nothing they could do for her. As soon as Hojo heard the news, he rushed to his wife’s beside, not wanting to waste the last few hours she had on earth with him. When she only had minutes to live she reached up and gently touched Hojo’s cheek.
“My beloved, you must promise me something before I leave you here.”
“Anything my darling, just say the word and I promise it.”
“You must promise to marry again.”
“What?” He drew back from her in shock. “No! Never will I marry again!” She reached for him and clutched his hand to her.
“My love, I don’t want to think of you marrying someone again either. But you must for the good of our people. I left no heirs behind, you need a child to rule the East after you meet me in heaven. Promise me you will, and she will be more beautiful than me.”
Hojo hung his head in defeat.
“I promise.” he whispered weakly.
Mayu drew his head down to hers and kissed him gently. When she let him go she smiled faintly, turned her head slightly on the pillow and died.


...


I woke up gasping, my body sweating. I had the dream again, the one where I was five years old, and in the same room as Queen Mayu when she died.
“Had the dream again?” my fairy godsister Sango asked.
I nodded and she pushed my hair back.
“Don’t worry, we’ll figure out something.” she told me and went back to her room to sleep.
I hadn’t had the dream in a few years, I’m the adopted daughter of King Hojo of the East, and I was hiding in a dark corner, the night she died. I loved my adopted mother with all my heart, since she had been the only woman figure I had at the time. All my family dead, Hojo decided to take me in because my father was his best friend. Mayu was the only mother I remembered having, so I wanted to be there when she died, even if she didn’t know I was there.
After a few years of mourning, my father told his counselors to find him another wife, one more beautiful than Mayu. But of course no other woman could match the beauty of his late wife and he had to give up the search for a few years, thinking some little girl would grow up and be more lovely than Mayu in that time.
And one little girl did.
One problem, that little girl was me.
