***Kagome's POV***

Everyone thinks of a princess as a perfect young lady but not this one. You see I'm blind and have a scar on my left cheek created by a demon who attacked me whenI was 6. I remember that I had waist length raven black hair, forest green eyes that turned a dull white/gray as a result of blindness. I was a fair beauty almost like a blooming wild flower in that was then I can't really tell anymore but with me being almost 16 my parents are going to try and find me a suiter wichis highly unlikely because nobody wants a blind beauty.

***Bankotsu's POV***

"AAAAHHH keep away from me you wenchs!" I shouted on the top of my lungs.

I rounded a corner and hid behind one of the curtains as the mob of love sick worshipers ran after me. I waited untill they all left to come out and go yell at my parents for doing this to me. This wasn't the first time they tried to get me to marry but just because they think I'm handsome they want me to marry them but I'm trapped into this whole circle all I want is that when I marry it would be out of love. My dad wasnever the one to listen and to believe in the emotion love wich is the exact opposite of my mom who always thought that love was something that wasmeant to keep everyone together and I thought so as well. When I went up to my father he stuck a note in front of my face looking it over I realized I was going to have to go to a royal ball to celebrate the Princess of the South 16 birthday and that then she was to be betrithed to the prince she deemed worthy with only a month to decide. In other words I have to go to the south and see my old friend and that I will be stuck there untill she choe a worthy husband and mate so this may be a long month.

***Kagome POV***

I hated this all sorts of princes were coming just to try and have me find them worthy for a mateand I highly doubt that will be easy beause when they realize I am blind but no matter I willstill be turning 16 and is not any different but atleast my parents understand all I want is for someone to love me for me and not because of my looks and wealth. I mean it has always been that way always with the wealth and power when all i wish is for my own voice to be trully heard and known but its never that easy. I geuss the only upin this whole betrothal business is that I can be myself but I doubt my mother would approve so I have to be a perfect princess in my own way of course I'll act proper and stuff but I will speak my mind when necessary. I was walking down to the great hall where I would welcome all the geusts with my lion cub Shia in the lead so I won't hit anything but you never know. I finally came to the grande entrance where i will greet everyone and show them around to the places where they can go for the duration of there stay and most of them will be only staying the week because most of them will be on the bad list meaning the shall leave.

After at least a good 20 minutes the guests have finally arrived.I used my senses to see if every demon was accounted for so that way i wouldn't leave someone behind.

"Alright everyone if you would please follow Shia the lion cub she will first show you to the garden, the dining hall, the ball room, and then finally to the West Wing where you will be staying Each door has a name taped to it so if your last name matches that is where you will be staying and at 8:45 Please head to the dining hall for dinner. Thank You." I instructed

After I was sure that everyone had left I cleared my throughout and started to sing.

***Bankotsu POV***

A Female had instructed us to follow a mere lion cub but instead cloaked my aura and scent and hid behind a large vase with some flowers sticking out of it. I heard her clear her throughout and heard her sing.

"I never been the same, never will. This loneliness is killing me. You will always be, my first love my only love. Years passed and it still hurts to think about our life together and how happy and perfect it was. I pray for you every night and for me. I need to find peace in this life without you or your love. To make peace with loneliness.

I look at my reflection in the mirror of time and I'm slowly dying with sadness and regrets. Nobody loves me, nobody wants me, I'm a shadow, a ghost, I go unnoticed and ignored. The world goes on without me like I never existed, why is loneliness so cruel.

I will love you forever and after death. I will give half my life for your embrace. My body craves your arms around me, to hug me, comfort me and dry my tears. I need your embraced now and forever." She recited with a voice even angels could envy (A/N I do not own this poem this poem was written by Sean Seepersad)

I felt a lone tear make its way down my cheek for only one person I know could possibly sing as beautiful as that.

"Why has the cheerfully left where is the happy cheerful pain that i would always play around with in the fields on beautiful spring and summer days. Where has the girl that I knew gone. Where is the sunlight that was always shone in the darkest times when you were around you were the only one that could make us smile. Oh where has that girl gone?" I thought sadly.

I stepped out of my hiding place and let me scent and aura be known.

" Hello, Kagome its been a while has it not?" I questioned.

Please Review for me i am awfully new at this. Thank You!
