This is just a random story I wrote (with the help of my friend Emmy20211).

It's basically just Cinderella mixed up a bit and put into Inuyasha format (The people who are normally demons are demons in this story)

Please review and tell me what you think!


Chapter 1:

Inuyasha sighed as he looked out at the people at the ball. It was incredibly boring but according to his father, he had to find a bride tonight, after all his father and mother had practically demanded and ordered it...

"Now Inuyasha," said InuTaisho, the king, with a groan, "you are eighteen tomorrow night which means you must find a bride,"

"But why father?" argued Inuyasha, "Sesshoumaru already has a wife, isn't that enough?"

"No, both of my sons must be wed, after all your brother owns the West Region, this region is yours,"

"But why do I have to have a wife?"

"You cannot become the king without one!"

"But why do I need to become king?"

"INUYASHA! You are royal! You must become king!"

"But what about you?"

"I won't live forever Inuyasha; you are to become king at once to avoid all the annoying rules and regulations to follow after I die,"

"But can't we change the rules?"

"I shall not change the rules that have kept this family ruling for so many years!"

"Calm down honey," said Izayoi, the queen, "he will find a wife at the ball tomorrow night... won't you Inuyasha?"

"Whatever," growled Inuyasha.

Inuyasha sighed as he walked through the crowds of girls. All of them were desperate... way too desperate for Inuyasha's liking.

"This sucks," sighed Inuyasha as he finally got through all the girls and onto the balcony, "I hate balls,"

"So do I," came a voice from nearby, "they're horrible,"

Inuyasha spun around and came face to face with a beautiful girl who wasn't wearing a mask.

"Who are you?" asked Inuyasha.

"I thought you weren't allowed to state your name at a masked ball,"

"And I thought you had to wear a mask,"

The girl smiled and frowned as she looked at the crowd. "It's a pity," she sighed, "I have to go back in there,"

"Need any help getting through the crowd?" asked Inuyasha, smiling at the girls horrified expression.

"Oh no your highness," she stammered, "I'm afraid I have to go in there alone!"

"Then be careful,"

The girl nodded with a smile and rushed back into the crowd. Inuyasha felt his face go hot and he spun around to feel the wind.

"I should've demanded her name," he sighed, "I'll probably never meet her again now..."

"Shouldn't you be finding a bride?" came a cold voice from behind him.

Inuyasha spun around and came face to face with a girl identical to the one before, and she wasn't wearing a mask either.

"I guess I should," replied Inuyasha, shivering at the girl's voice, "I do need to find a bride after all,"

"Would you mind if I could dance with you?"

"Well... ah, no, sure,"

The girl smiled politely as Inuyasha led her back into the ballroom.

'This is gonna be one horrifically long night,' sighed Inuyasha inside his head.

oOo

As Inuyasha thought, the night stretched out very long. He had danced with the cold mysterious girl for a long time. He finally had to excuse himself to get some air; it was obvious that she was just as desperate as all the other girls.

"Shouldn't you be dancing?" asked someone, "it is your ball after all,"

"It's you," said Inuyasha as he looked into the beautiful girl's face, "I didn't think I'd see you again,"

"I thought the exact same thing,"

"Would you care for a dance?"

"Who? Me?"

"Yes, you,"

"Sure, I'd love to but..."

"But what?"

"Shouldn't you be finding a bride?"

"I am,"

"Oh... well... uh,"

"Don't say anything! Just let me have the pleasure of this dance!"

"Alright,"

Inuyasha smiled as he led the girl onto the dance floor. The next song had just started so he started to dance. The girl wasn't very good but she let him lead and in no time everyone was turning to stare. His face had broken out in a smile and he was having more fun than he'd ever had in his life!

oOo

"I think he's found her Izayoi," said InuTaisho, "he looks so happy,"

"He does doesn't he?" sighed Izayoi, "just like us,"

InuTaisho smiled as he grabbed his wife's hand, "yes, just like us,"

"Hopefully it'll all work out well,"

"It will, it always does,"

Izayoi and InuTaisho smiled at each other before looking back to their happy and excited son who was dancing with the beautiful girl.


P.S. This is a chapter story, not a oneshot!!!!!
