"I have to WHAT?!" Screamed Kagome. Kagome's mother, Queen Annabelle sighed. "Kagome, we went over this. You are next in line for the thrown, originally it was going to be Kikyo. But she refused. You have to choose a prince to marry. Remember? You told me a month ago that you would. You have all summer to find the right one. Now get dressed. The princes will be arriving soon." The Queen turned and walked out of the room, stopping in the doorway. "Something nice please."She turned and walked out of Kagome's room. Kagome rolled her eyes. She walked over to her bathroom to take a shower.

Sango was skipping through the castle. Kagome was getting married in the fall. And she had all summer to choose between a lot of cute princes! Kagome had promised her that she could pick from anyone she wanted after Kagome was sure about who she was going to marry. Sango ran into her littler sister Rin. "Hey Rin! Aren't you excited?" Rin rolled her eyes. "No.. I'm only 7 why would I be excited? None of them are gonna be my age! The only person who will play with me is Kagome. And she is gonna be getting married..." Rin pouted. "Stupid Mommy. Why does Kagome have to get married? Not fair." Sango sighed and picked up Rin she carried her out to the garden. She set her down on a bench. "Look, I'm mad too. I don' t want Kagome to leave. She is my sister too you know. Its because she is 17½ and I'm now gonna be 16 in 2 days!" Rin glared at Sango. "Oh right. Sorry. So Kikyo turned down the thrown. But Kikyo is the oldest. I mean none of us are 19 besides her. Why Kikyo turned it down, I have no idea." Sango kept talking and Rin finally shouted "SHUT UP! You talk to much!" Rin stood up and ran to Kagome's room. Sango was dumbstruck. "I do not talk a lot." she mumbled. Sango stood up and ran to her room, to get ready for the princes.

Kikyo sat on her bed staring out the window. Today was the day the princes were coming. "Whoopee doo." Kikyo felt bad for Kagome. It was because of her that Kagome now had to get married. Kikyo opened her book and tried to get the thoughts out of her head. When that didnt work she closed her book and threw it against the wall. Why had I turned down the thrown? Kikyo sighed and stood up. She walked over to her vanity. She grabbed her brush and started to brush her hair. "Might as well look nice I guess."

Kagome stepped out of the shower and dried off. She wrapped the towel around herself. And went to get dressed. She put on her robe and threw her towel in the hamper. Kagome walked over to her closet. "Something nice. My regular clothes are fine! Nothing wrong with skinny jeans and band t-shirts! Kagome sighed and picked out a dark purple dress.

"Fine.. If mom wants me to dress in a dress. Then I'll do one of my choice!" Kagome slipped her robe off and put the dress on. It didn't look half bad. But she still would rather be wearing her tennies or boots.

The dress fitted her body shape perfectly. It wasn't a puffy dress, it was a slender one. Kagome walked over to her Jewelry drawer and opened it. She opened a black box. Her father had given it to her before he had died. She opened it revealing a diamond surrounded by other diamonds. She put it on and sighed. She missed her father right now. Kagome put a high ponytail in her hair and slipped on her black flip-flops. She took one last look before walking out to meet up with her mother and sisters. This was it. Her last summer of being free.

When she stepped out in the hall she ran into Rin, who looked like she had been crying. She knelt down and gently lifted Rin's chin up with 2 fingers. "Rin? Whats wrong?" Rin sniffed and hugged Kagome. Kagome picked her up and placed her on her hip. "You can tell me anything. Whats wrong?"

Rin rubbed her eyes and managed to say. "You are getting married. You-You wont have time for me anymore." Kagome felt horrible instantly. "Rin. You're my little sister. I love you. And that will never change. I promise." Rin looked up at her sister, "You promise?" Kagome nodded. "Come on lets go before Mommy comes to get us." Kagome walked down the hall with Rin on her hip.

Sango and Kikyo had gotten dressed and were waiting in the living room for the princes to arrive. "Am I the only one to be excited for the princes coming?" Sango asked while looking out the window. "You and mom are the only ones who are excited." Kikyo said, her voice said end of discussion. Sango sighed.

Queen Annabelle, Rin and Kagome walked in. "The princes will be here soon." The Queen proudly announced. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"Ma'am, the princes have arrived." A maid warned them. Kagome took out a piece of spearmint gum and put it in her mouth. The family walked outside to welcome the princes.

None of them knew what they were up for this summer.
