-Chapter 1. The Lie-
Once upon a time in Feudal Japan there was a poor miller who had two children, a beautiful daughter named Kagome and a very ill son, Sota. The miller was loosing money from the king's taxes and he needed the money for his son's medicine or else he would surely die. Unfortunately the king had died from an unknown illness and Prince Sesshomaru, the king's eldest son took over and raised the taxes even more. Soon the family was going to be left on the streets. So the miller had to do the most dangerous thing anyone could ever do. Complain to the king.
"Father! Please don't do this! I'll take two more jobs! I'll work night shifts if I must. Please don't complain to the king. You'll be killed!!" Kagome begged her father. If anyone ever thought to complain the king would automatically kill the person.
"Kagome! You know as well as I know that women aren't allowed to work over time. It is a man's job to protect and take care of his family, not the woman's especially the daughter." The miller said that and left the small hut. Kagome knew her father meant for the best especially for her younger brother, but she could not lose her father. Not now, for she was going to have to leave and be married to a man very soon. If her father died she could not forgive herself and would probably kill herself for it. She sat on her chair watching her brother sleep and occaisionaly cough over the remaining hours.
Meanwhile at the castle, the miller pleaded to King Sesshomaru and explained his son was very ill. But the king was not moved at all by his story. He was like a statue on his throne.
"Do you know how many times I, King Sesshomaru have heard these stories?" Sesshomaru spoke and the miller was still.
"Answer your king!" A green-toad creature said. 'Why does this miller story not move the king at all?' the toad wondered.
"I don't know." The miller replied he knew he wasn't going to get anywhere with the King.
"Many. Now go if that is all you have to say to me." The king said and the guards were just about to grab him.
"WAIT! My daughter, she can spin straw into gold. Please believe me!" The miller lied through his teeth.
The king said to the miller, "That is an art which pleases me well, if your daughter is as clever as you say, bring her here tomorrow, and I will put her to the test."
"Thank you. Thank you." The miller left the room and went to his hut to tell his family"
"King Sesshomaru I sensed the miller lying through his teeth." The toad demon said thinking 'Why is my king's sense failing him so?'
"I know Jaken. The day after tomorrow is the new moon and my brother would be coming back from knight camp. He would suffer so much to see a woman being killed right in front of his face. And he would be unable to help her in any way."
"Inuyasha's demonic powers sleep on the new moon?"
"Yes. And that's why it's perfect." With that Sesshomaru left the throne room and into his chambers to retire for the night.
Back at the miller's house, the miller had told Kagome of the news.
"WHAT?!" Kagome was shocked that her own father would lie to the king of all people to lie to.
"Kagome dear, the only thing you have to do is spin straw into gold and the problem is solved."
"No it's not! I can't spin straw into gold father! No one can!"
"She's right father. This is reality! No one can do that!" Sota butted in.
"If you believe anything can happen."
"Father, you really need to stop reading Sota bedtime stories." Kagome said and she walked back to her room and fell into a troublesome sleep.
