Trophy Wife
A.N. Hello everyone~! My name is Ntxais and I want to first thank you all for taking an interest in this story. To everyone who doesn't know I've adopted this story from Nella Hyuga, so if it doesn't meet any of you expectations I'd like to apologize, but I can already see in which direction I want to take this story. I hope you stick with me until the end. Enjoy, and tell me what you think in the comments section below!
Chapter One
Her begging brown eyes, so much like my own were so hard to ignore, but her pout was my undoing.
Those had been my thoughts the night Kikyo had come to me asking for what I thought at the time to be a simple favor, but now as I stood in front of his castle in her gown, with my, no her belongings I wondered for the twelfth time on this journey, why was I doing this again?
Tilting my traveling hat back so that I could take in the entirety of the castle, I moaned in distress, wishing more than anything to be once more in the safety of my own quarters back at home.
"Is everything all right Madam?" a rather silky voice asked from behind me, quite successfully startling me and inch into the air. I quickly spun around and came face to face with the powerful muscle of a horses forearm. Allowing my inquisitive gave to travel upward I stared in surprise at the man who sat up upon the horses back.
His royal highness, crown prince Sesshomaru looked at me through his impatient gold eyes.
Taking a deep breath to calm my rattled nerves I opened my mouth to speak. "Of course your highness, I was simply in a daze, nothing to worry over." Hoping that he would accept my explanation for truth I curtsied slightly, in the manner that was expected of me, or rather in a manner that was expected of princess Kikyo.
Personally I had never been formally introduced to the tall prince, because both he and I ran in different circles, but everyone knew who he was, if only because of his shock of hereditary silver hair that he kept long.
"And you are?" His tone left nothing to the imagination, and I knew that if I did not answer in a satisfactory manner he would not hesitate to send me to the darkest cell in the dungeon.
"Yes, excuse me for being as rude as to not introducing myself. I am first Princess Kikyo of Mirai. I should be expected." I stated confidently with my back straight and my head held up proudly.
I watched the passed through his recognition passed through his eyes. "Yes, of course, Inuyasha's bride to be, please go in. No need to worry over your belongings, I'm quite certain the servants will be able to manage them without you. Father and Mother are no doubt awaiting your arrival in the throne room." During his instruction his tone remained calm, but still his eyes held an edge in them, as well as a mocking gleam.
Ignoring my unreasonable suspicions of hostility I made my way into the palace hoping beyond hope that someone would be willing to show me to the throne room. Luckily just as I passed through the door way a servant came forward explaining that he had been ordered to await my arrival and to show me to the throne chamber.
As we reached the door I paused nervously. Through the arch as clear as air sat the king and queen of Kako, Kikyo's future in-laws, as well as her betroth Prince Inuyasha. Breathing deeply she took her first steps into the chamber hoping that her secret would remain safe until Kikyo was able to arrive and take her rightful place beside her fiancé.
A.N. Special thanks to Nella Hyuga for giving me this brilliant idea! With out you I probably wouldn't have come up with this specific plot!
