Princess Serena was sitting on the balcony staring at Earth. Her knee length, midnight hair was shining as the stars' light decended upon it. Her blue/ violet eyes glittered with longing; longing for freedom. She saw a shooting star and said,

"How I long to visit Earth." Serena sighed a single pale blue tear rolled down her pale, snowy cheek. Unknown to Serena, Queen Serenity walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around Serena's shoulders. This act caused the young princess to jump.

"The moon is a wonderful kingdom, Serena. Why do you wish to leave?" the older woman asked her daughter.

"I know it is a wonderful kingdom, and I am extremely happy here, it's just...the jewel. I wish to live a normal life as a girl on Earth. I realize that I have a great responsibility here in the moon kingdom. Mother, I just want to get away from it all." the beautiful Serena sobbed into her mother's, the queen's, arms.

"You are just 15 years old. Perhaps, you still have a chance at being normal. For now, daughter, you will have to wait." Serenity responded.

"But that isn't fair! Even though Kikyo lives here in this kingdom, she is normal! Kikyo isn't the princess, she isn't the guardian of the jewel! Kikyo gets to be happy and free!" Serena yelled out.

"No, she isn't princess. And you are right about her not being the guardian. But, have you ever wondered what she wants? Kikyo has always been jealous of your looks, your status, and what you have." Serenity soothed.

At those words, Serenity had Serena's full attention. Serena looked up at the woman's beauty. She had long ebony hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her lips were a beautiful pink. The woman had evenly tan skin. She was very lovely indeed.

"She has no right to be jealous of what I look like! We are twins for Kami's sake!" Serena screamed.

"Kagome Serena Higurashi! Do not speak like that. You are twins indeed, but by different fathers. She always says that she wishes she were you. Kikyo wants your eyes, hair, skin, figure. She wants your life." he mother told her in a softer voice.

"But she always acts as though she hates me." Serena stated.

"You know, you took the love of her life away from her. I will leave you to thing about that." With that said, Serenity walked back in. "Don't forget to get ready for the ball either." she called as an after thought.

'I stole the love of her life, heh. As if. I thought we were in love. We were the perfect, happy, beautiful couple. Until he betrayed me.' Serena thought.

~Flashback (1 year ago)~

Serena lay on her back in the grass. 'InuYasha' was hovering over her (standing) with his foot on her small, flat stomach. Her small form was shuttering in fear.

"You actually thought I could love you? You are a pathetic human bitch." 'InuYasha' sneered as he pressed his foot down harder.

"I-InuYasha-----y-you are hurting me." Serena stated weakly.

"Shut up you stupid, weak wench." he growled.

"Why would you...?" she sobbed.

"Stop your damn crying. I only pretended to love you because I wanted the jewel. I want to be full demon."

"But, I love you as you are." she said to him with a smile on her face.

"But I don't love you. I used you. You are cute, but I never loved you. Before I kill you, I may even take you as my toy for a bit. Hell, I coulda just fucked you long ago and taken the jewel. I don't know what kept me around." 'InuYasha' chuckled evily.

"Well, if you were to kill me right now, I would die happy because I would die with you at my side. I will always love you." Serena smiled.

"You are a fool." he said as he dug his long claws into her lower, left side of her stomach. He pulled out a light pink/light purple jewel. When 'InuYasha' touched it, it turned a dark and impure purple.

"Finally, the Shikon No Tama. Kukuku..." he laughed (sound familiar?)

"DROP IT!" a strong voice yelled. All Kagome saw were two silver and red blurs. Then, one turned purple, blue, and black.

"No way half-breed!" the purple one yelled.

"I said drop it now! How dare you do this to her. You pretended to be me!" the red blur retorted. He then attacked the guy in purple. The jewel was dropped out of his hands and the red figure picked it up. Serena got up just as the figure with black hair dashed off. She could only thing about how the person who almost killed her was 'InuYasha'. She picked up her bow and arrows and fired one at the red and silver figure. The boy was pinned to the sacred tree.

"K-Kagome..." was the last word out of his mouth as he was put into an eternal sleep, dropping the jewel. 'Did he just call me Kagome? The only person I let call me by my real name is In---' she couldn't finish thinking before she blacked out.

~End flashback~

She looked to the tree that he was pinned to and sighed.

"Maybe---, maybe it wasn't InuYasha that..." she started to thing but couldn't finish because she heard what sounded like a bomb.

"King Akio! Queen Serenity! Princess Kagome! Prince Souta! Our kingdom is under attack!" she heard Ayumi, a maid, scream. Serena's eyes widened as she ran back into her room. She threw on a white, bodice corset dress. She put on a ice blue, velvet hooded cloak. It had silver and light pink stitching. Serena pulled her hair into an elegant bun and slid her diamond tiara into it. She slid on her white sandal heels and ran out of the palace. She stopped by the fountain in the garden.

"Go back inside and get your brother and Kikyo. Save as many as you can!" Her father, Akio, yelled while fighting with the rest.

"But--"

"Follow your father's orders!" Serenity commanded. Serena nodded sharply and ran inside. As she approached the top level of the palace, the whole place was set ablaze.

"Sesshomaru! Help me find everyone!" Serena yelled hoping he would hear. He dashed to her side and they went on finding people. Sango, Ayame, Souta, Kohaku, Miroku, Shippo, Rin, Kouga, Hakudoshi, Izayoi, and InuTashio were all found and taken out of the building.

"Kikyo!" Kagome yelled as she ran back in. "Mommy, daddy! Kikyo! Where are you?" Serena screamed. She heard Kikyo coughing and ran to her room.

"Kikyo? Answer me!" she yelled.

"In here!" she heard Kikyo scream. Serena ran up to a room where the fire had caused boards to fall in front of the door. The window was completely blocked off. "Kagome, save yourself. I can't be saved. Take this and don't forget me." Kikyo whispered as she tossed a white tote bag with a moon on it to her.

"I will not leave you, Kikyo! I promise, I will get to you!" Serena screamed as she kicked and punched at the boards.

"No. You can't. Just go!" Kikyo yelled.

"Kagome! Come on. We have to go." Sesshomaru shouted as he took Kagome's hand in his and dragged her.

"No. I won't leave without Kikyo and my parents." she said.

"They all died. Kagome, your family is dead." he said quietly.

"No! I won't believe it!"

"Well you have to!" he replied as he continued to drag her until they were outside. All survivers watched as the Moon Kingdom crumbled to moon dust. Sesshomaru and Kouga had to restrain Serena as she cried, kicked, and screamed. Her family had just burned to death. Her kingdom was no more. 'I have to get InuYasha and save him.' she thought.

'You will live on Earth and instead of Kagome Serena Higurashi, be known as Kagome Sada Higurashi. Sada, meaning pure one/beauty. I love you my daughter.' He mother said in her head.

Kagome broke free from their hold and ran to the sacred tree. She looked up at InuYasha's sleeping form. 'It could not have been him. He is so beautiful and peaceful.' she thought as she pulled the arrow out of him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kagome.

"Bitch." he said to himself.

"What?" she asked.

"Y-you pinned me to a tree!" he yelled.

"I thought...I did not know." she said.

"I loved you and you betrayed me. You told me that you loved me as me. You said it didn't matter if I was half demon, but you pinned me to a tree for it!" he yelled with pure anger.

"I do love you. I didn't pin you to a tree for being a half demon." she sobbed as she stumbled up to him and wrapped her arms around him.

"K-kagome?" he asked while pulling her into a loving embrace.

"I am sorry. He made himself look like you and...I did not know." she cried harder. "The kingdom is moon dust and my family was burned alive except Souta. We are going to Earth."

"W-what?" he stuttered.

"It's all gone. We were under attack."

"It will all be okay Kags." he soothed her.

Just then, Kagome's side, where the jewel is in her body, lit up. They were all transported to Earth. Everyone of their memories were locked away in the back of their minds and their ages were frozen. Over the years that they waited to arrive at Earth, they never aged.
