Kagome was quite an ordinary teenage girl of 16, she lead a normal life. She had friends and loved her family, she had even attempted to date a guy named Hojo, but unfortunately he moved. Kagome lived with her mother, grandfather and little brother Souta. Kagome had never known her father, but her mother often told her that he was an amazing man, and that he would have been so proud of her. Now it just happened to be Kagomes 16th birthday when her mother decided to tell her the truth.
Souta was sitting on the front steps waiting for his sister to come home from school, He held a large, obviously homemade, made with a lot of love card in his hand. It was not long after that Kagome came down the sidewalk, she smiled when she saw Souta and brushed a stray strand of raven black hair out of her large, shining brown eyes. Souta rushed up to her, he wrapped his arms around her in an attempt at a bear hug. Kagome laughed and hugged him back,
"Happy birthday!" Souta exclaimed excitedly, handing her the card. She took it, read it, then hugged him again
"Thanks Souta, this was very thoughtful of you. Now lets go inside, I bet mom made a cake."
"Yeah, its chocolate!" Souta exclaimed and rushed into the house as fast as he could.
Kagome followed close behind."Mom, I'm home!" Kagome called, peering into the kitchen.
"Out, out, your not allowed to see it yet!"
Kagomes mom gave her a shove. In a matter of minutes Kagomes mother returned from the kitchen, wiping flour onto the lime green apron she wore.
"Happy birthday sweetie, did you have a good day at school?"
"Yeah, it was ok, a couple girls were really snobbish to me today, kikyo and her friends."
A look came across Kagomes moms face, like she was thinking over something difficult.
"Mom, are you ok? Is there something you needed to tell me?"
Kagomes mom snapped back into reality "No sweetie, it can wait till later. Right now I think its time for you to open your presents, then we can have some cake." She smiled and pushed Kagome into the living room, where Kagomes grandfather and Souta were already seated, holding packages wrapped in bright paper.
Kagome sat on her bed, under her blanket with a new book in her hand that she got from her grandfather. It was about demons and Kagomes found it fascinating. Kagome had also received 2 new outfits, a sun dress and a pair of sandals from her mom. And Souta had given her a beautiful necklace. After opening all of her gifts, and having two pieces of chocolate cake with a glass of milk, Kagome had thanked her family, and headed off to bed. A nock on her door brought Kagomes gaze away from her book,
"Come in" she called.
Her mother peeked her head in, then fully opened the door and walked in.
"Kagome sweetheart, there is something I need to talk to you about"
"Its alright mom, we've already talked all about it at school." Kagome interrupted, not wanting to have to have 'The talk' with her mother.
Her mother laughed "I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say, I wanted to tell you about your father."
"But mom, you've already told me everything about him."
"Not everything, now where do I begin?" She paused "Your father and I meeting was accidental, I was a little older than you and had gotten lost. I had wandered off from my home and found myself in a strange place. And then I met him, his name was Kane, and he was amazing, he had a great personality and was great to look at; You have his eyes Kagome. "Anyways, he courted me, much to the dismay of his family. They did not approve of one such as me…"
"Why, whats so bad about you? Who are they to judge against love?" Kagome interrupted again,
"Can I tell my story now?"
"Yes, please go on."
"Thank you, now where was I? Oh yes, his family disapproved because they were different, but I'll explain that more later. But we were in love and were not about to let them split up, so we eloped, and moved here."
She took in a deep breath and continued,
"A year later we had you, we were so happy, our first child. Word was sent to his parents, when they learned of your birth, and that you were healthy, the finally accepted me, partially at least. They sent lots of gifts, letters and phone calls were exchanged, asking about you mostly. How you were, for photos, and eventually a visit. "We went there because his parents couldn't stand it to be near anyone like me. They absolutely adored you! They doted on you like grandparents should, and were sad when we had to take you away. They loved you so much that we made a deal with them, when you were old enough we would tell you everything-Though now its up to me alone- and now I think your quite old enough to know, after all Kagome, you are almost an adult. But first I'll finish my story, four years later, Souta was born-I'll tell him this story too when he's old enough-And once again we went to visit your fathers parents. They loved you more than the last time, because that time you could walk and talk and weren't so fragile. They loved Souta too, and were very very pleased that I had given birth to two healthy children. We made another deal with them, that we would visit them often, and that when you were old enough and they sent for you, we would send you to them. "
Unfortunately, your father, bless his soul, died the next year, and after that we never visited them again…but now…"
Kagomes mom pulled something out from behind her that she had been holding the entire time, a large, fancy envelope.
"They've sent for you Kagome."
"But I don't even know them, why would they want me?"
"Kagome, your father…your grandparents, are royalty."
"Royalty? But how come I've never heard of such a royal family?"
"Because where they live and rule is hidden, sweetheart, they, your fathers parents, are youkai; Demons."
