I do not own Inuyasha, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets or any other characters from books, movies, manga, or anime. I do claim the characters in my dream and any other of my own characters.
Author's note: This is based on a dream I had. I think it will be a one shot or else it might be three chapters, but if it's more than that realize that I'm continuing this story with my own imagination, not my dream (or I had another dream which continued this one.).
Secretly a Princess
Chapter 1
A Slave Girl
Kagome was an orphan. She was taken in as a servant by a middle aged woman who owned a large three-story mansion and already had more than two dozen servants. She was treated like dirt, having to do the dirtiest chores. She was dressed in dirty gardener type clothes. All of her possessions, special or not, had been thrown away. She didn't have anything at all. She was seventeen, didn't go to school, and didn't have anything she owned except for a pair of dirty overalls, a dirty white T-shirt, and some muddy boots that were at least two sizes too small. She usually didn't wear her boots, she walked barefoot. She got one bathing session per week that was only thirty minutes long. She slept on the hardwood floor in the living room. She had chores to do that took from the start of her day to about midnight at the very least. She was constantly aching, but after the first couple of months she had lived there, she had learned to get used to it. She wasn't paid for what she did. All in all, she was a slave.
The only kind soul was the African-American man who was treated as bad or worse, if that was possible, by the "masteress". The "masteress" was a racist; that was why he was treated badly. His punishment was being whipped if he didn't complete a chore or did it poorly. He had scars across his back from his unfair punishments. Kagome was usually the one who treated his wounds after his punishment. She had sympathy for the poor man, and he also had sympathy for her. Even he received easier and, even if by only one or two, fewer chores than she did.
It was a usual day for Kagome, chores from day to night. When she finally completed them, she came to the living room. She collapsed under the Christmas tree that the "masteress" insisted on having there at all times. It wasn't decorated, it just stood there motionless until it started to yellow, which in that case it was replaced by a different tree. She didn't fall asleep just yet. Vaguely, she thought she saw the shape of her father in the darkness. Oh how she missed him. After that her eyes drooped shut and she drifted into an uncomfortable sleep.
Author's note: I hoped you like this one! Things get better, and more awesome! Inuyasha and the rest of the gang (via Sango and Miroku) come in later! Please R&R!!!
