Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to check out this story! Disclaimer: I don't own the original tales of Snow White, Robin Hood, and Inuyasha. However, most of the plot is my own. This is basically a mashup of all those stories. I hope you enjoy!
After their mother died, Kagome's elder sister Kikyo tried to kill her. All because Kagome was deemed the fairest of them all. After Kikyo's huntsman Koga allows Kagome to escape, she ventures into the deadly Inuyasha's Forest. There, she encounters the Merry Men, famed outlaws who defied her cruel mother and sister's laws. The Merry Men are led by the infamous half-demon Inuyasha, but even they fear him despite his somewhat good intentions. However, Kagome seems to uncover more than his frightening beast…
A really messed up retelling of Snow White and Robin Hood.

Thwack! The arrow hit the target on the tree with a resounding thud. Kagome wiped her brow with an exhausted sigh. It was only a mere centimeter from the red bulls-eye. Thwack! Another thud came from the target beside her. Kagome saw her elder sister Kikyo walk over to the tree to examine her target.
Kikyo's arrow had pierced her previous one; both were in the center of the target. Kagome sighed, wishing she were as good as her sister. Kikyo pulled out all her arrows with a satisfied smirk. "Come on, Kagome," she said. "You ought to have hit the center already."
Kagome glowered at her. Unfortunately, it was true since all of her arrows were literally clustered around the red circle, not quite hitting it. As Kikyo readied to release another arrow, Kagome threw down her bow and quiver and stalked off to change.
She winded down the castle halls, greeting her only friends: empty suits of armor. When she reached her room –an extravagant room of gold and marble – she quickly changed out of her archery attire and into a beautiful green ball gown that hugged her figure extremely well. It had a modest neckline but showed plenty of back. Such was the clothing of the princesses of Nottingham.
Kagome hurried to her dying mother's bedside. It wasn't like she wanted to. After all, she despised the female sheriff. However, her mother had forced Kikyo and Kagome to pay their respects every day since she'd realized she might be alive much longer.
Kagome tentatively knocked on the door. "Mo- sheriff?" she quickly corrected. There was no answer. Kagome swiftly opened the door and stifled a gasp. There on the massive bed laid her mother with her arms crossed over her chest. Her white sheets and white nightgown were stained with red.
Kagome elicited a frightened scream and fainted.
Kikyo wandered through the gardens in a frilly pink gown, stopping every few seconds to watch the ants parade through the grass. She meandered by the fountain, listening to its peaceful running water. Trickle, trickle.
Kikyo.
She stiffened and looked around. "Who calls me?"
Kikyo. Over in the fountain. Curious, Kikyo leaned over the fountain's edge, resting her fingers on its rim. She blinked in confusion. The water shimmered beneath the sun, and it was clear as day. There was nothing.
Look harder. Kikyo fluttered her eyelashes quickly, and there it was. Amazed, she reached down and closed her fingers around the cool metal. A mirror.
