A/N: I got this idea while listening to the song Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy, if you've never heard this song, please do, it's a really beautiful song.
Chapter 1
"Father, I don't love him," cried the dark haired princess with tears running down her wet cheeks.
"You will learn to love him," her father shot back with nervousness in his tone.
Kagome took a step back, her mouth falling open. Her father's words had shocked her, he had never talked to her the way he just had before. As if it was an easy thing to do to learn to love someone you simply didn't love in the first place. How could he be so cruel?
Fear, that's how. Ever since the wolf demon tribe had moved in on their territory and threatened their land, her father seemed helpless for any other escape.
Kagome calmed her voice before blinking her eyes a bit and softly saying, "Perhaps there's another way, maybe to offer them some territory that we're not using…"
"NO!" her father snapped causing her to jump a little in surprise. Her father, who had always been a peaceful, kind ruler, softened his look.
He had been under a lot of stress lately, but that wasn't no excuse to talk to his only daughter in such a crude way.
He swallowed hard then said, "It isn't only the wolf tribe we're worried about," he admitted.
Kagome frowned, confused. She put her hand on her father's arm, "What do you mean father?"
He looked away as if ashamed to tell her, "There are other demons, snooping around, seeking and taking what they want, other kingdoms have already been slaughtered…" he turned to his daughter and took her delicate hands in his strong ones, "The wolf tribe has offered to protect us from certain attacks if…"
Kagome smiled sadly and finished his sentence, "If I agree to marry their leader?"
A/N: ok, this is just the first one so it's short, what do you think so far? I have a question about this one, do you think I should make it like feudal era Japan or like an old time fairy tale palace kind of thing? I really wanted to make this like a fairy tale, but not set in feudal era Japan, what do you readers think? Please review.
