NOTE: I am simply writing this story because I like the show Inuyasha a lot and because I admire Rumiko Takahashi a lot. In no way do I have any rights to Inuyasha, its characters, etc..I just like to write stories based on the characters:...

Chapter 1 MHYK

A heart necklace is dangling down from Kagome's neck. Someone very special had given it to her. She can't quite remember his face...If you love someone, then shouldn't you be able to recall what their voice sounds like or what they look like when they are happy, sad, or disappointed? What about all of those memories of the two of you sharing fruit gummy sharks by the monkey bars or sharing an umbrella while walking home from a rainy day at school! She's about to turn 18. She's matured quite beautifully. However beautiful and content she may appear to be on the outside, her soul is tormented and she cries for hours every other night. All she can remember is that her name is Higurashi Kagome and that she is supposed to be in love with someone.

Kagome is having another dream. This time, she is able to recall the touch of his fingers intertwined with hers. His touch is so warm and his embrace sweeter.

What's his name: "Kagome...Kagome...I'm..." MEEOOWWWW Buyo had just pounced onto Kagome's stomach...it seems that he's hungry...AGAIN! Kagome shoos Buyo off and gets up to get a glass of water.

Kagome: "How am I supposed to remember him when that stupid cat keeps on interrupting me!" She wipes her mouth with her pajama sleeve and proceeds to walk sleepily back to her bed. Kagome is now in bed and his holding her heart necklace close to her heart.

Kagome: Whoever you are, I'm so sorry..my heart tells me that I should find you..but where am I supposed to look? for my upcoming 18th birthday, I'm going to have to let you go..it's been too long...my memory isn't coming back to me...you never came back to me..maybe it's not meant to be...hojo asked me to marry him you know.. ,again He's such a nice guy..and I can't wait for you forever...I don't even remember your name! I just.. (( yawnnn))..I just wish ..( Yawn)) there was some way you could find me...SNORE!

Kagomne drifted off to sleep with her necklace in her hand. If it weren't for an accident a couple years back, then she would've remember who he was by now. She doesn't even remember what had happened in the accident. How she had lost bits of her memory, she didn't know. The butler told her that she must've hit her head while playing in the costume closet. All she remembered was that she was supposed to do something...something...what was that something supposed to be?

8 years ago:

Kagome: "Let me out! Please kikyo...please let me out...(( sniff))) please...sniff...kikyo..."

All of the incessant door banging did not stop Kikyo from purposely locking up Kagome in the closet. Kikyo was trying her best to prevent Kagome from meeting up with the king's son, Kagome's best friend. Kikyo had always been jealous of Kagome's relationship with the king's son. In fact, VERY jealous. Kikyo had once made a vow to her deceased mother to marry the richest guy in the world. The king's son was next in line to the throne and in fact, the person that Kikyo "would" marry.

No matter how hard Kagome banged the door, Kikyo would not open. A couple of days ago, Kikyo had been snooping into Kagome's room and went through all of the notes that the prince had recently sent to Kagome. The most recent asked Kagome to meet him behind the courthouse, in the garden, by the rose bushes at 7:00 pm. Kikyo was outraged! How dare Kagome try to steal her man!

Kagome and the prince had been friends ever since they were 2 years old. Kagome met him through her parents. Her parents were very close friends with the king and queen. Kagome and the prince used to play together all day by the lake and always came back with smiles plastered on their faces. Kagome's mother had died a long time ago. Her father never remarried. However, he did adopt a close friend's daughter. It was a favor. Her name was Kikyo and deep inside, he was quite protective of her because she had reminded him so much of his little Kagome.

Kikyo's mother had died a long time ago. Kikyo's father left them when she was just a baby. He refused to be connected to such a poor woman ( he was a duke ) and in order to protect his reputation, he left them the moment he found out Kikyo's mother was pregnant. As her mother still loved the duke, she sat staring by the window all day as if expecting the duke to return any day. Her mother would cry every night and refused to eat anything. She grew so thin that her ribs started sticking out and her face was so pale you could hardly believe that she was once considered pretty. Because of the duke trying to protect his reputation at all costs, he hired his many concubines to spread rumors about her mother being a prostitute and that Kikyo was an illegitimate-born child. Kikyo was tormented at school. Children are so cruel and their torment crueler. They threw things at her. Things ranging from plastic cans to bricks. Their mothers told them not to associate with her and thus Kikyo grew up without friends and without proper care. However, this did not stop her from holding her head up and picking fights with the kids that dared to call her the whore's child.

When Kikyo was adopted by a strange man out of the blue one day, she was suddenly introduced to an entirely different lifestyle. Maids and butlers were at her feet and she could order ice cream at 6 o' clock in the morning if she wanted to. Everything was quite grand except for a girl by the name of Kagome. Kagome's smile had always irritated kikyo. It was too bright, too trusting, too...everything. It was really annoying ow Kagome never cared if kikyo always called her names or hugged her and treated her as if she were really her sister. Kikyo did not trust Kagome..in fact, she saw her as her competition. Whatever Kagome did, kikyo would do better, and whatever Kagome got, Kikyo would take away.

It was just another day except that kikyo was keeping Kagome from meeting up with the prince. She had planned to trap Kagome in there...and meet up with the prince herself to confess her love for him and make him fall in love with her. She would do whatever it took to be at the top of the chain and avenge her mother's death. She would make all of this town suffer the way that her mother did..and to do that, she would have to be queen first.

Back to the closet scene:

Kikyo: "Keep quiet! You don't want me to give Buyo away now do you!"

Kagome: "NO! please...KIKYO...I'll be quiet..I'll be quiet..please sister..don't..I love buyo...((sniff))) I'll be quiet..I promise..."

Kagome is trying so hard to hold in her tears, however.. HICCUP! .

Kikyo: "Finally I can begin my plan... HICCUPP WHAT? shut up in there!

Kagome: "I can't..I.. HICCUP...I..HICCUP ...

Kikyo: GRRR...so ANNOYING!GRRR She proceeds to opening the door.

Kagome upon hearing the door open, runs off happily to the door. " Kikyo..I'm so glad.. BAM!

Kikyo had accidently opened the door at the same time Kagome was standing by the door and had knocked Kagome into unconsciousness.

Kikyo: it's your fault! I...well..at least you're quiet now...gotta go!

Kikyo runs off anyway to begin the plan. Her evil snickering could be heard throughout the corriders of the fancy mansion.

Kagome is left unconscious and blood is dripping out of her head. It had been nearly an hour before a butler had found Kagome and rushed her off to the hospital.

Kikyo is now dressed in a sleek blue dress and rushing off to meet the prince. He is seen picking off roses and making it into a crown.

Kikyo: I'm so glad to see you! Prince Inuyasha!

Inuyasha is confused. Kikyo rushes up to him and before he could ask her where Kagome was, she grabs him by the shoulder and kisses him.
