Hello hello~ What am I supposed to say here anyways...

Summary: A SI/OC somehow makes her way into Kaguya's body, memories somewhat intact. Somewhat. Either way, she was screwed form the start, with the entire world plotting against her and the story-line riding on her being the antagonist. Oh she didn't like this at all. not. one. bit.

Warning: Its rated T for a reason, meaning swearing and probably violence. Its war, what do you expect, really. Also I should really stop making new stories.


When Kaguya was born, the emperor and empress immediately shut out the outside, not letting a single word escape to the outside. Their first child's assassination was bad enough, and they would not allow their second child, their first daughter, to suffer the same fate. She would be kept from the public until she reaches the age of four, at least.

Age 1

Kaguya is a pretty quiet child, but also a happy one. She toddles around and explores the area of the compound she is allowed in, occasionally falling but getting up almost immediately. The empress is exasperated by her behavior, and the emperor amused, but they fear that she would leave the boundaries of her little safe-zone, and escape into the public's vision. The little child only giggles, and they amuse her, hiding their fears from the strangely observative eyes of their child.

Age 3

Kaguya is declared a hell-spawn by her mother, lovingly, of course. She is rambunctious and nothing like a princess, running around barefoot and shedding her multi-layered kimono as she runs. The servants screech as they see the young princess toddle by in a thin white kimono, the equivalent of underwear. The little girl only laughs and tumbles off of the wooden platform into the garden, and scrambles to the trees. Her mother and father find her up in the tree upon one of the highest branches, sitting there with a bird. She is severely scolded afterwards, but gets to keep her new companion.

Age 5

It is at the age of five, that her mother finally declares Kaguya public-worthy. The little princess huffs, telling her mother that she has always been public ready, and that the public has just not been ready for her. The queen laughs, and ruffles her hair, knowing that the little girl is only joking. They both break into little giggles, not looking royalty but a rather silly family. Its these times that Kaguya gets a distant look in her eyes, but she is always quick to shake it off. Her mother does not ask.

Age 10

She is at the age of ten, and her mother is as strict as ever when it comes to manners. Kaguya, is also the same as ever and declares that she will wear a hakama, dress as a boy, and go to town. Her mother disagrees, but she does it anyway, putting up her white, long hair into a ponytail and stealing one of her personal bodyguard's clothes, sneaking over the castle walls. No one could ever figure out how she managed to climb over those gargantuan walls, and were more pre-occupied with finding her. In the end, they find her laughing and talking to the locals in a tea shop, eating much too many dangos. She is once again scolded and forced to sit in a seiza for hours, but the next day her father offers to go to the town with her, both in disguise. This becomes something of a tradition afterwards.

Age 13

Kaguya is of age, and suitors flood in, asking for her hand. She cannot hide her disgust as men crawl to her, all wishing for her hand in marriage. Finally there are five princes form nearby countries whom all ask for her hand, each declaring not-so-subtly that if she does not marry them, they will declare war. Her mother is about to excuse them from the area, seeing how her daughter is disturbed to the point where she cannot hide her emotions, when Kaguya smiles. 'I know' she says, and all her mother can feel is the dread that comes with Kaguya's insane ideas. She declares she will marry that who can bring her the items she wants. Her mother dreads, because Kaguya has never been the smartest nor the most cunning. Her next words are said as if they are recited. She tells the first bring her the stone begging bowl of the Buddha from Nepal, the second to bring a jeweled branch from the mythical island of Horai, the third to bring her the legendary robe of the fire-rat of China, the fourth a colored jewel from a dragon's neck, and the fifth to bring her a cowry shell born of swallows. She seemed rather smugly happy as the princes looked at each other in confusion as to where or what each of these things were.

Age 15

War has been declared, and the emperor has been called to battle. He leads his troops from behind and in-front, battling against many who had declared them their enemy. Kaguya feels guilty, and is certain this war was caused by her unwillingness to marry, but her mother laughs it off. Her mother, kind and strong, assures her that they would never make her marry a man she does not wish to marry. She is laughing, but kaguya can see the haunted shadows in her eyes, as their country slowly and steadily looses land. It is then that the distant look returns to Kaguya's eyes, and give away to a look of determination. Kaguya leaves the castle that day, armed with a sword and male clothing, and marches off before anyone can notice.

Age 20

Its been five years since Kaguya's disappearance but rumors have been heard of a white haired swordsman with a lovely face, who's sharp dark eyes seems to know all. They say he cuts but never kills, and had visited each of the countries emperors in search of peace. He slowly becomes the common folk's hero. Kaguya's home country whispers of a princess turned hero, running in the wind and never killing but always fighting, just for their home. Its just a story, a rumor, but it never ceases to give them a spark of courage and hope.

Age 25

The emperor passes away on his missing daughter's birthday, and a white haired swordsman arrives in the very same week. The castle servants witness a reunion of daughter-turned-son and mother, both crumbling into each others arms with weeps and sobs. The mother peels off her daughter's armor, brushes her hair, and dresses her into a formal kimono. Her mother still refuses to force her to marry, but the near desperation in the Empresses eyes is obvious. There is no heir to the throne. A woman cannot lead permanently. They need an Emperor, they need peace. But before that, there is a need for a conclusion. Both mother and daughter kneel at the burial site, and people whisper as the daughter bows before the cold black stone, and whisper her tales to un-hearing ears.

Age 26

The silver haired girl, now woman, makes a decision and she takes up her armor and male outfit once more. Her mother is desperate, needing the support of a family in this dire time, and running a war has never been her job. Kaguya merely assures her mother that she will be back soon, and the determined light in her eyes assures her. But her mother is worried, and crumples as Kaguya turn and leaves, dashing into the winds once more. All they hear is that the silver haired swordsman has returned once more, but is this time, headed to the taboo lands.

Age 28

Kaguya returns, just in time to meet her mother on her deathbed. The pressure and grief had been too much, and she had passed away with a small smile when Kaguya finally returns. The only remaining member of the royal family weeps and grieves, but puts it all away to lead the war. The entire nation is startled when they see their princess, in male clothes made of female-oriented cloth and sword at her hip, marches into the battlefront with the remaining soldiers. The warriors are nervous, and while having heard the rumors of the princess-now-empress being the silver haired swordsman, doubts as it had never been confirmed. The two protruding horns on her head does nothing to calm them.

But when the battle begins and their Empress stands tall, before an entire wave of enemies and extends her hand, they all fell into awe. Bone, ashen bone protrude itself out of their empress's palms and she wields them like blades, tossing them at their enemy's commander. The man burst into ashes and many expressions turn horrified, as the empress merely kneels and touches the ground.

A whisper of 'stand back' is heard and the warriors all scramble backwards, away from their empress in hear of being caught in whatever she has planned. Something along the lines of 'seedling fern' is heard and bones appear from the ground, impaling all that approached their lands, and it is an overwhelming victory, with only ashes to remain of the other side.

This begins the legend of the rabbit goddess, as well as the whispers of a oni. Kaguya hears of both, but still stands tall and upon her throne, like she had been expecting it all.

And perhaps she had.


Alright so I had this idea stuck in my head for a WHILE. And by a while i mean several months. Aand well basically I needed to get it out. DESPERATELY. So have a story that is probably also going to remain unfinished for a while, yaaaay.

I really need to write more...
