He stared at her. How was he supposed to choose? It didn't matter in the beginning, but then he met her. She seemed untouchable in the presence of her sister. She was the younger daughter of the king and queen of the Northern Lands. He was the eldest son of the Western Lands.
The Girl within the Shadows
Chapter 1
She gazed with longing eyes. She had never been outside of the castle walls. Her parents put a veil to cover her face. Her twin sister was adorned with jewelry. She had been shoved out of their lives. Her father loved her she knew it. He was the reason why she was still here. Her name was Kagome Higurashi.
Her cruel mother was planning a ball to welcome the western lord. Yawn. If she knew her mother right, she would probably be picking an awful dress. Her mother had changed so much. She just prayed that her father would do the honors. The ball was to be for a marriage arrangement. The eldest son was to pick one of the two sisters to be his bride.
'I wish that I could take this veil off and just leave this awful place. I don't want to be here. The only way is if someone takes me away.' She thought of this sadly. She knew why they had placed it on her. Her mother wanted a better chance for Kikyo. Kikyo was cold and showed absolutely no emotion. Her hair was straight and black. Her eyes showed no emotion and were cold and brown. Kagome's hair was wavy. Her eyes flickered with fire and were brown. Though they were twins, they could have never been so far apart.
'I hope that he will pick me OMG! I'm gonna be late!' She ran down to the room where her dress was waiting for her. To her surprise, the dress was beautiful and elegant. The dress had two layers. The top layer was a thin material and was translucent. It was a dark blue with a fair amount of glitter. The layer beneath it was a baby blue. It was plain but brought out the look of the dress. It had long sleeves that had too, like the rest of the dress, had two layers. It was rimmed on the end and fit her body perfectly. 'Thank you Father I don't know what I would do without you.'
She quickly dressed and ran to the ballroom. In her rush and frustration, she tripped just to be caught by someone before she hit the floor. "Oomph! OMG! I'm sorry I'm so clumsy. Forgive me. Are you lost?" She looked up only to gasp at the sight she saw.
