Disclaimer-I don't own Inuyasha
-------------------------------------------
"One girl from every family must come to the castle to be a servant for the King and his family." Called a knight. "There are no exceptions. Anyone who refuses to give us this requirement will be killed along with their family."
You could hear moans and sighs and you could see people crying all around the village. Kagome happened to live in this village with her mother, and little baby brother who was only 1 year old. "Mother I will go. I don't want you to try and stop me, you need to be here for Sota since he is not able to live on his own. If you leave surely he will die."
"Kagome..."
"Mom I have to go. Don't stop me please it will only make it harder." She said trying to hold back the many tears that were welling up in her golden brown eyes. "I love you mom and this is why I am doing this. I will be okay I promise." Before her mom could say anything more Kagome ran out of the hut to join the rest of the girls that were going to the castle as well. Why did it have to be this village? There are barely any girls or women and the family that does have a girl or women also have a new born baby. She thought while her eyes were slowly turning away from the village. Kagome took one look at the knight and then saw here mom crying through the shine in his armor. "Mom don't cry." She said turning around to face her. She saw the sadness and fear in her mom's eyes and began to cry herself.
"Just be careful. I know you are trying to do what's best for our family."
"I love you mom." She said trying to dry her tears that were falling freely without her control
"I love you too Kagome, and so does Sota."
Kagome looked down at the boy in her arms. Sota was a small child since birth and was born with many problems. One on the reason's I'm leaving is so you can try to grow up Sota. You may not grow up to know who I am or even that you have an older sister, but you will grow and prosper and one day become a wonderful man. That Sota I promise you. She then blew a kiss to her baby brother which made her mom cry more.
"He is lucky to have you for a sister Kagome." Her mother said and then went back into her hut. She couldn't watch any longer it was too heartbreaking. I love you Kagome She thought once more then peeked her head out of her hut and gave her daughter one more wave goodbye.
"Okay that's everyone." Said one of the knights.
"All right then we will be heading for the palace now. Make sure there are ropes on them so they don't try anything." He commanded, to the knight who just spoke.
"Yes sir." He said then began tying ropes around the girls wrists and connecting them to one of the horses leads. "They are all secure sir."
"All right let's head out then." With that they began mounting their horses and heading off towards the palace with the girls they took from the village walking silently behind them. Kagome turned around and watched her beloved village slowly fade into the distance.
-------------------------------------
About an hour after they left the village they finally arrived at the palace doors. The knight said something to the guards and the doors soon opened to reveal a huge hallway covered with gold picture frames with pictures of some of the knights and past Kings in them. There was beautiful marble floors and everything in the castle shined. All of the village girls could not believe their eyes.
"I present to you King Inutaishou, and Queen Izayoi." Everyone in the room bowed, and the King and Queen walked down the gold stair way and made their way over to the head knight.
"I see you have brought us the new servants." The King said in his big manly voice.
"Yes sir. They came right from the Makutori village as you requested."
"Okay please show them to their bed quarters and tell them of their duties as servants of the palace." He said then turned and left the hallway with the Queen at his side.
-------------------------------------
The knight showed the girls where their rooms were and then got them plain, dull, brown colored dressed and told them that those were their work clothes and that they will be washed once a weak.
"Okay now I will read off your name then your duty." Everything fell silent at that statement. Everyone of the girls got nervous and frightened at what there job might be. "Ayumi cook, Yuka kitchen cleaner." It went on like that for several minutes and Kagome silently waited for her name to be called. "Sango laundry..." Kagome looked across the room to see her best friend Sango. I never knew she was here.Kagome thought as she looked at the sadness in her friends eyes. She doesn't want to be here either. " And last Kagome you will be the Prince's personal servant. Now that you all have your jobs go get to them." He then told them where everything was located at from the kitchen to the King's and Queen's room.
Everyone scattered out of the room to go start on their new job. Prince's servant. Great now I get to be around a stuck up Prince all day. It's that just wonderful. I would rather have anyone else's job but mine.She thought as she made her way up to the Prince's room.
---------------------------------------
After what seemed like forever Kagome finally made it up to his room and quietly knocked on the door. "Come in." A voice called from inside. She opened the door to reveal and even prettier room then the hallway down stairs. "Who are you?" Said a young man who she took to be the Prince.
"Oh...Sorry I am Kagome. I am the Prince's new personal servant." She said bowing.
"So you are one of the new servants? Well welcome to the palace. Are you enjoying your stay so far?"
Kagome was surprised at his question. She thought the Prince would be a stuck up pain in the butt. "Um...Yeah I guess so. If you don't mind me asking what is your name?"
"Oh how rude of me my name is Miroku. I am one of the Prince's best friends."
"And where is the Prince?"
"He should be back..." Just then the door opened. "Oh there he is. Inuyasha this is your new personal servant."
"Great. Well Miroku are we going?"
"Oh yes, but aren't you even going to say anything to her?" He said gesturing to Kagome.
"Fine. I am Prince Inuyasha and you are?"
"Um..Oh I am... My name is Kagome...Kagome Higurashi."
"Well Miss Higurashi I am going to my fighting lesson's with Miroku so I guess if you want you can come." Inuyasha said a little annoyed.
"Okay thank you." She said now knowing she was right. Stuck up just like a thought.
Father always gives me horrible ugly, girls that are always falling all over me but why isn't she. She is acting like she doesn't care like I am a Prince or that she is in the palace. This girl is very interesting. She is worth getting to know. Inuyasha thought as he looked at the girl.
"All right then let's go."
-------------------------------
Kagome followed them down hallways and through doors until they finally wound up outside in a court yard. She saw Inuyasha and Miroku each get a sword out of a barrel near by and stood ready in a fighting stance. Kagome backed away so that she wouldn't get hurt.
"Lady Kagome why don't you have a seat in the grass a little aways from us so that we don't harm you." Miroku said with a kind tone. Kagome just nodded and made her way to a spot in the grass and began watching them as they fought. Why can't that Miroku guy be the Prince he is so nice, kind and caring. She thought as her eyes followed them as they continued to fight.
---------------------------------------
"Well I think that is enough training for today." Miroku said as he put his sword back into the barrel.
"Yeah I'm getting tired and it is getting late."
All three of them made their way back inside. "May I get you anything." Kagome said trying to break the silence.
"I'm fine Lady Kagome." Miroku said with a smile.
"Yeah me too." Inuyasha said glaring at how Miroku was treating the servant. "You can leave. First thing tomorrow though I want my breakfast brought to my room." He commanded.
"Yes Sir." Then Kagome went back down stairs to her quarters which weren't as pretty as the rest of the palace. Her quarter was gray and colorless. The walls were made out of stone just like the floor and the only furniture that was in there was her bed. I miss my home already. She thought as she drifted off to sleep.
----------------------------------------------
"Miroku why are you treating that servant so nice? You never treated the other ones the least bit nice so why her?"
"Because she seems like a sweet girl. She's also not like the other ones. Can't you tell?"
"Yeah I have to admit there is something different about her."
"Yup so why don't you try to actually get to know this one?"
"Why would I want to get to know a servant?"
"Never mind you of all people wouldn't understand." Miroku left the Prince's room so that Inuyasha could think of what he should do.
"Maybe he is right." Was the last thing he said then he got ready for bed and soon fell asleep but the only thing on his mind was the servant girl named Kagome.
