Summary: Kagome Higurashi is the cousin of Sarah Williams and together the two will have to outwit the Goblin King and his faithful followers. Torn between different versions of the Labyrinth the two girls will have to figure out the dangers of the Labyrinth itself and will Jareth fall for both girls? Stay tuned and find out.

A/N: Right so no one knows that much about Kagome's father other than that he died in a car crash and he proposed to mama Higurashi under the sacred tree. Although I'm like 99.9% sure that Kagome's father was Asian I'm going to go by my rules since it is fanfiction and make Kagome be half American. Her father was the brother of Sarah's mother Linda and instead of taking on his last name Kagome's father took on her mothers last name. Kagome is coming to America to visit with her family for the Summer. I am not sure how this will turn out with the whole relationship issue thing...like maybe Kagome and Jareth? Sarah and Jareth? Kagome and Inuyasha? Sarah and Inuyasha? You people tell me in the reviews and pretty soon here I will be adding up a poll for who Kagome and Sarah should end up with. Please review, follow, and favorite if you liked this first chapter.

Prologue - Summer in America

~xXoOoXx~

One Week Before Sarah Wishes Toby Away

Clutching at the white fabric of her shirt Kagome Higurashi looked out the window of the plane that she was in to see many people waving at their loved ones. Fishing through the sea of people until she spotted her mother and grandfather waving at her a small smile formed on Kagomes face. Sota, her brother was on the plane in the seat right next to her reading a book and though it did comfort her to have her brother to be going with her to America to visit their cousin Sarah, Kagome honestly missed her friends already. Clicking her seatbelt on Kagome held in her breath as the plane rose into the sky, streaking away from Japan.

Her three friends and Hojo, her best friend Sango, Miroku someone she greatly respected when he wasn't being lecherous, Shippo and Kirara to adorable demons close to her heart, Kaede the elder priestess had become like a grandmother to Kagome, Myoga the flee demon who could always give her a laugh, Koga and his wolf tribe demons always on the go, and of course...Inuyasha the half-demon that she had come to care about maybe even love Kagome would miss them like crazy but it was only one Summer away. Three months that was it and Kagome could return to Japan and be with her friends and family once more.

Not that Kagome wasn't looking forward to seeing her cousin Sarah but Kagome and Sarah barely knew each other let alone knowing what to expect for the Summer and last she heard Sarah had been in a tantrum lately. Either out at a park or at home playing pretend in customs and toys but when messed with Sarah usually shrieked at everyone. Not that Kagome completely blamed Sarah. For the last year Sarah's mom, Kagome's aunt Linda had walked out on both her daughter and husband and her brothers family just to persue her acting career and to be with a young man named Jeremy.

As for fantasy and adventure that Sarah longed for so much Kagome also understood that for Kagome had lived through that these last few months after meeting Inuyasha. From falling in love with a half dog demon-to battling other demons and evil humans and dead people almost considered zombies in her opinion to try to put a jewel of great power back together. To think that Kagome had been your everyday average Joe until her fifteenth birthday.

Sota had just fallen asleep after only ten minutes since the plane had taken off leaving Kagome to chuckle tucking his book into his bag and looking back out to the window she was amazed by the view. The sky was a clear with no overcast and the color of cornflower blue with pure white snow clouds that the plane flew through.

It was hard to believe that only yesterday Sango and the others had convinced Inuyasha that they would be fine for the next three months to look for the jewel shards on their own and for Inuyasha not to go looking for Kagome while she was away. She had hugged Sango and Shippo while Miroku had gently patted her head, not wanting to let them go they practically had to pry her off.

Inuyasha had only huffed and told her to hurry back.

That wasn't the part that hurt her.

Before she left Inuyasha and walked Kagome to the well and before she fully slid down the well she saw Kikyo come out from behind some trees with Inuyasha quickly embracing her. Kikyos chocolate orbs had locked onto Kagomes cobalt ones and the priestess had smirked at Kagome in satisfaction making Kagomes heart ache in pain.

Maybe Inuyasha would just replace her in the group with Kikyo.

Wanting to put these painful thoughts away Kagome took some aspirins and gulped them down with her bottle of water. A flight attendent was coming around with pillows Kagome took one gratefully and laid on the side letting the sky over take her thoughts. Going blank blissful sleep finally took Kagome in her sweet embrace and at last Kagome clocked out.

A few hours later she had awaken to hearing the speaker say they would be arriving soon. Sota had already been awake with lunch ordered. Though he was five years younger then her he was very, very mature at his age. With a tray of heavenly tasting beef stew, some Italian bread, and a couple of orange sodas Kagome took her time eating the delicious food. They ate in silence though because Sota knew that something had happened with Inuyasha and his sister deciding he would let things be he would keep silent until they reached their cousin and step-uncle.

Although the food filled her belly she still had an empty feeling coursing throughout her entire being. Pushing and prauding around to be feeling something. Anything really. Anger, joy, sadness, love...but no she was an empty, hollow shell.

Sota had tried to get her to have desert but it had ended up being strawberry cheesecake and even though it was silly anything red was taboo to her. The last thing she needed right now was sugar anyway. Her brother tried to tempt her once more but she just shook her head and turned to look out the window. Thoughts of Inuyasha's golden eyes and the way they had pierced into her heart when he had seen Kagome one last time as she slid down the well and had heard the words Inuyasha had spoken to Kikyo.

Even now she couldn't believe Inuyasha could say anything that cruel.

She gazed at her feet no particular reason at all just to maybe look. She was wearing blue-gray tennis shoes, jeans, and a white T-shirt. Her hair was in side swept braid and her eyes were a mess. Puffy and red tinted she had done a lot of crying before boarding the plane. It shouldn't have hurt this much, should it?

She put her head back against the pillow and decided to sleep some more if only to have Inuyasha out of her thoughts. The sounds of people chatting was all but forgotten and a blissful darkness once again took her over and Kagome had a beautiful dream of a golden haired man.

There was the prologue I really hope you liked it. Yes Kagome also has her brother going with her and since I want Kagome to also go into the Labyrinth I was thinking of having her wish her brother away as well. I know, I know the prologue was short but I promise to make the chapters longer I just feel that this was the right place to stop for the prologue. In the first chapter Kagome will be landing and will be seeing her uncle Jack (don't know Sarah's fathers name), her aunt Karen, and cousins Toby and Sarah. I don't see Sarah and Kagome getting on at first with one another but the further the story the further they will get along.
