Why Ask for the Moon

Why Ask for the Moon?

Well, hello my readers, yes, here I come with another story. This one is based off my favorite movie starring my favorite actress, Bette Davis in Now Voyager. It's a tear jerker and a beautiful romance story. If you haven't seen it, rent it, download it, do whatever you need to see this movie. Okay and this story is taking place in the forties. There will be none of that world war two mess that most stories taking place at this time have. On with the story!

Warning: This is in the forties for those of you who didn't read the note above

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters or Now Voyager

Prologue:

It's funny how life works for some people. Some ended up wealthy, famous, beautiful, and intelligent. Others, it would seem as though the Gods were punishing you for past crimes. You end up rich, fat, ugly, and scared. The "spinster aunt" if you will. Just like me. My name is Kagome Higurashi and I am heir to the Higurashi fortune, also the 26 year old spinster aunt.

From a young age, I was taught that I was never to marry so that my fortune would not be taken. My mother told me to wear glasses to block my eyes from men. "The eyes are the windows to the soul" She would tell me. I was never to look a man in the eye. I am to be the perfect daughter, never the perfect wife.

In my opinion, it is a technique my mother used. She feeds me suchthere is no word describe the deceit. She tells me things to frighten me. To frighten me into never marrying because I am to be loving, caring, quiet, and studious. To always care for my beloved mother. She used to tell me "Say what you mean and make sure it means something" a method to keep me from speaking too much. My brothers, I have three older brothers who say that my voice is like nails on a chalkboard and that is why mother doesn't want me to talk. They also say that my face looks as though it were mutilated by the same nails.

With three older brothers, you would think that they would get the inheritance. Not a chance. My eldest brother, Naraku he is a selfish evil thing. He thinks for himself and that is it. It's a wonder he has a wife as sweet as Kikyou. He would waste the whole inheritance on his business, wife, gambling, and liquor. The second eldest brother, Miroku. What a sweetheart. He's in love. In love with this woman Sango, I met her once before, she's is a tad bit mean to him, often hitting my brother a bit too hard for his perverted mind. The fortune would never go to him because in a week, he would spend it all on Sango, buying her beautiful accessories that she wouldn't need.

Then there is Souta. Oh, dear loveable Souta. Darling Souta, what could I say about him? He's a tad irresponsible. He enjoys games and his friends. I'm sure mother doesn't even know what the money would go to; just the fact that he gets a bit carried away in winning and nothing good could come of it. So, who else is left with the fortune? I am.

It was strategy; she analyzed and chose the weakest link. I figured this out years ago, but I also realized it was true. Why fight the inevitable, these teaching engraved into my brain, things that I recite on a daily basis before doing anything. Almost as if my mother were trying to break so I would be too crazy to leave her. Of course, there was a time when I would have. I would have left her in a heartbeat if asked to. That was when I was in love. Of course, I was nineteen foolish, and naïve.

But, that experience proved my mother right. Never shall I disobey her again. Love is a ridiculous emotion that only fools believe in. Love is only in the novels of romance that I fancy from time to time never in the reality of our world

OoOoOoOoOo

Okay, so what did everyone think? If you didn't read the top, please do and take my advice. See the movie. I love it. It's still my favorite no matter what. Anyway, tell me what you think about it while I work on the first chapter. Bye bye!
