Summary: Kagome, a princess living in the medieval times, with her every
wish at her command. Life would be perfect- or though she thought. It seems
life is not a fairy tale with a perfect family-though she has covered the
rich part- but her father left her mother when she was only 1 and she
doesn't even know who he is, the only thing she has to go by is only a few
paintings of him and that's all. Well that's not her only problem. She has
never been out of the castle walls before and is longing to do so and the
worst part of it all is her mother wants her to marry a rich old king, but
they haven't decided who, for now that is. Kagome doesn't know how long it
will be before her mother brings in another suitor. So she decides to leave
it all behind and find her father with only two pieces of information- 1:
Her Father lives way far away with a large group of followers; and 2: Her
Father's name-
Robin Hood
Disclaimer: You know what! Why do we even have these?? I mean come on! What chance am I ever going to own Inuyahsa! Because, I don't, or Robin Hood things.
Under the Hood Chapter One: The Plan
'The scenery is so beautiful during the sunset.... To bad I've never been out there to enjoy it' Kagome thought as she was preparing for dinner. Tonight was just another one of her mother's tried attempts for Kagome to find a suitor. She had hoped that her Mother would have realized that by the 3rd time she had one of these 'balls' it wasn't going to help her find a husband that she liked. "I wonder how many of these have I been to..." she couldn't decide she had stopped counting after the 11th one. All of the men were snobs who only cared for themselves, except for one man that she met on about her 7th ball. She had thought that he was the one, which was until she found out that he was only in it for the money. She couldn't stand men like that. And to make things worse every man wanted to be her suitor, one because she was the most beautiful thing you would ever see, and two, because she was the richest thing you would ever see. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did you have a nice time at the ball dear?" asked one of Kagome's ladies in waiting. "It was fine." she lied. It had been the worst one yet. Even her mother agreed, which was ever so surprising. They were half way though the dinner and her suitor was already drunk with out a care in the world. Kagome had put up with it until he had pulled the hand stitched very expensive table cloth to wipe his mouth, which was covered in tomato sauce, spilled her wine and all of her food in addition to other things into her lap staining her favorite dress.
Life was depressing at the castle. All she did was work on her reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. The only thing she looked forward to was her archery lessons. But this was no lesson at all because she had surpassed her instructor-and might I add the best one in her kingdom-in no time flat. He even said that he couldn't teach her any more. So she was basically on her own for the time being. And as she practiced she noticed that every day she kept getting stronger and when ever she hit her target (which was every time) she would either shred it to pieces or shred it and along with three other trees. This was how she spent her days. Bored to death.
Until one day when her tutor had to cancel her classes because of an illness so she found her self up in the very top of the castle where nobody ever goes rummaging though chests of family momentums.
"Hmm... what's this?" she whispered. It looked like three large paintings wrapped in cloth. She wanted to what they were so she hurried down the steps to find her mother.
"Well let's have a look then" Kagome's mother said when she told her what she had found. Her mother carefully unwrapped the paintings and when she looked at them she gasped. "I thought that these were destroyed!" she exclaimed. Kagome looked at her mother peculiarly. "Who is that man?" "That is your Father" "Daddy?! Is he still alive?" "Yes I have recently received word that he is alive and well" "What was Dad like Mom?" "Well a lot like you very adventurous an amazing archer. I loved him very much and he loved me, but there was only one problem-he wasn't a prince and he had a 2,500 dollar reward on his head. "$2,500 reward? What did he do?" "Well he was sort of a missionary guy. Him, his best friend, along with some other men stole from the rich and then gave it all to the poor. And from what I hear he still is up to it"
So the she went on about how they fell in love and how her parents absolutely, positively, and on no account, would let her marry him. She told Kagome how he still lived about 1,000 miles south, the same place as were they met. Sherwood Forest. The most beautiful sight you ever saw. Lots trees and flowers-you name it. But he was hard to find. Only the best of the best could navigate through the thick foliage. Later that night Kagome was thinking about her father. 'I never knew him' she thought. 'I wonder what he was like in person.' Just then as her thoughts were trailing around in her head she heard a loud noise. "Hmm...sounds like fire works" just as she thought fire works were spitting their great colors and sparks into the sky. "Oh I forgot tonight is the village's spring festival" How she wished she could go out and celebrate too, but no. It's the same with every festival. She's not to leave the castle. Ever. She had once snuck out and made it, but when she came back the night, boy did she get punished. "What if I were to go and then never come back..." she liked the sound of that even though it was kind of scary. Tonight would be the perfect night too! All the guards on her floor had been excused from their duty to join the festivities. So she gathered some of her clothes until she realized that she couldn't wear any of here outfits because all she owned was dresses. "Oh drat! That's right, 'ladies are forbidden to travel alone'" she laughed as she recited the law as her tutor would. "Hmm... I wonder... maybe... Oh yes they do have men's clothes up in the weaponry. She silently tiptoed up to the weaponry and luckily no one was there. "They are probably all at the festivities" she said whit a mocking tone. She looked around for the cabinet full of travel attire. "Ah... there it is" She pulled the doors open and coughed at the dust that came out. There she rummaged around to find the perfect clothes.
Years and years ago this part of the Japan, which her kingdom now stood on, was taken over by England. So they only had few Japanese warrior clothes since the English ones wear more protective. There only a handful of people who were 100% Japanese.
The one thing that she had to find was a hat to cover her mid back length raven hair. There it was just what she needed a forest green, kind of pointed hat and a plain traveling out fit.(a/n think Robin Hoodish outfit) As she was leaving something caught her eye. "O look, it's grand" she picked up a handsome bow. She plucked the string as she looked about for arrows and when she found some of the strongest ones she had ever seen, she took a good sized quiver and filled it as many as she could fit with out ruining them, and went back to her quarters.
"I suppose that I should write mother a letter saying that I'm leaving" So she sat down and began to write:
Dear Mother,
I really don't know how to say this but I'm fed up! I'm always stuck in the castle doing the same things over and over again. I want to be free, so I'm going to leave home and go out for an adventure. I don't know where I'm going or when I will be back, but don't worry I'll be fine. Trust me on this, I have all the needed accessories that I need to survive. Please do not send search parties out for me because I refuse to come home. I am 17, perfectly old enough to take care of my self. I love you and don't worry.
With all due respect,
Lady Kagome
"That seems alright. I just want to reread it to make sure...Oh no; I really don't know where I'm going to go! Well I could go and see... no if mother does sent out people to find that will be the first place that she would send them to. Hmm...That's it! I will find my father!
So how did you like it? Ohh and don't worry I will put the rest of the characters in there and it will get exciting, hopefully. I just have to build up the story and send me any ideas that you have I would greatly appreciate it! Ja ne! ~Drat
