Chapter 1:

Kagura has a lot of unwanted baggage. From past experiences with men, and arrange marriages, she has been well known as the 'Untouchable Princess.' And so... she was not surprised at all to find another invitation. The invitation was from a prince, from some place, and for Kagura decide whether or not to waste her time. She stared at the card and sniggered. She was never the type to swoon to any type of man, but this time, she was conflicted whether she should or not. The letter has been sent from the notorious prince, Okita Sougo.

To be fair, they were both considered quite troublesome when it came down to settling down. Okita has been considered the naughtiest prince throughout the country. Kagura has not only been considered the 'Untouchable Princess,' but also a snake for leading men on. Though Kagura would never admit up to her sins, Sougo has considered his sins a trophy.

Kagura stared at herself in the mirror, she smirked as she applied the dark red lipstick on her lips. She stands up as if she was ready to burn the country to the floor. Not that she would ever do that. Though she acted like she ruled the whole world.

"Hime-sama!" one of her servants yell, as they rush over the Vermillion haired princess.

"What is it Pachi boy?" Kagura asks in an annoyed tone, ready to head off to a nearby town and buy some more books. "The King and Prince Kamui have finally arrived after their long journey. They wish to see you." Shinpachi says in an exasperated tone. As the straight man, he had been having trouble keeping his composed attitude due to the troubles circulating around the family. More like, the problem of Kagura always ending up lonely, and her wishing to not seek help. Which ends up causing everyone trouble somehow.

"Tell them I have to run errands and will see them during supper. I do not have time to meet & greet men who have left me off and on throughout my life," Kagura said in a cold tone and started walking away. Shinpachi sighed, as the poor servant went back to see the King and Prince. Kagura was furious, 'How could they think I'd be happy to see them when all they have done was leaving me?!' she thought.

When she arrived at the carriages, she caught a glimpse of her brother and her Dad through a window. She made eye contact with them before turning her head and left without another troublesome staring contest. She balled her hands into a fist and clenched hard. She tried suppressing her anger but ended up failing to do so as she punched a hole on the seat.

"Ahh, Kagura-sama, is everything alright back there?" the driver asks, as Kagura huffed in response. "Everythings, great." Obviously, Kagura's obnoxious side decided to show up the same time someone asked a "stupid" question, as she likes to say. Once she finally reached the town, she felt relieved. She felt more comfortable amongst townspeople rather than being cooped up in the castle surrounded by fake smiles. During one her father and brother's expeditions, she made a decision to finally get out of the castle, and to this day, she still believed it was one of the greatest decisions she ever made in her whole life.

"Kagura-sama, we have arrived," the driver said and opened the door for her. She stepped out on her own, not forgetting to grab her parasol with her along with her small purse. "Thank you, pick me up at the usual time," Kagura said, and the driver merely nodded, and left. Sighing, she stepped her way inside the bookstore.

The smell of ink and paper hit Kagura's nose, and she smiled. She always thought books were boring growing up, but as she grew older, she started to fond novels. She roamed around the store before finally picking up three books. Kagura wasn't particularly happy with her purchases, but she was still glad to be able to find a couple books that caught her interest. Checking her pocket watch, she noticed that she had enough time left to get something to eat before heading back home. Leaving the bookstore, she quickly looks around to find a specific cafe she usually goes to during Saturday afternoons. After seconds of looking, she finally caught the glimpse of it.

Looking up the sky, she was glad today had been a great weather to go out. Though she knows she'll have to head back home and face her brother and father. In the end, she'll still feel like it will be a shit day even if she went out or not. Feeling slightly gloomy, she walked over to the cafe, noticing some stares come her way. Kagura didn't mind though, she had always been the center of attention throughout her life, and many people are probably wondering why a princess like her would be in town. Entering the cafe, she felt happy as she was greeted with smiles.

"Ah! Welcome back Hime-sama! The usual for today?" the worker asked happily.

"Yes," Kagura replied with a smile and followed the waitress to her usual spot in the cafe. She sat down, placing her books & purse on the table, and rested her parasol against the table. During her wait for her food to come, she silently read a book, feeling slightly mellow. A sudden breeze rushed by, causing a mass of petals to fly by. Kagura looked at the petals in awe, and at the same, the waitress placed her food on the table. "Thank you."

With that said, Kagura began eating her sponge cake and watched as a flower petal falls into her teacup. She giggled at the sight, and took a sip of her tea, feeling more relaxed already. After she finished dining, she grabbed the tiny folder that stated her check and placed her money inside. Standing up, she was ready to leave just when she noticed a rowdy group nearby. Minding her own business, she suddenly felt a hand grab her wrist. She turns around to meet a pair of crimson eyes. Kagura took a good look at him, he looked well built, sported a light browning hair color, and wore a fancy attire.

"Excuse me?" Kagura asks in confusion, as she was then dragged away in a corner. "Stop pulling on me," Kagura muttered, yanking her arm away, but his grip wouldn't budge.

"You're perfect," the man says, getting a good look at her. Kagura scrunched up her brows, and said "What?"

Again, Kagura was pulled, this time, in front of a rowdy group of people. 'Oh no, what is he going to do?' Kagura thought in her head, as she already felt a something bad was going to happen. "Attention everyone, I have an announcement," his voice was deep and rich. She felt his grip tighten around her wrist, and silently yelped. All the men turned around to his attention and looked at him intently. "This is my fiance, and I will be marrying her, and just her. I will take my leave now."

"Huh?!" the group exclaimed in unison, along with Kagura, who doesn't know what the hell was going on. She was then pulled again by the man who just claimed he was her fiance. Once they were outside, Kagura was finally able to set her hand free. As if in perfect timing, a carriage stops in front of them.

"Who the hell are you?" Kagura exclaimed, flustered at what just happened. She was trying her best to hold back punching the daylights out of the man.

"You'll find out soon... And for a royal, you have quite a foul mouth there Kagura-hime-sama," he smirked and entered the carriage without another word said. Kagura was stunned, she watched as the carriage goes away, and all she could think was how ridiculous everything was. 'Have I gone insane? Is that what I get for commiting so many sins?!' Kagura thought in her head and tried to calm herself. 'This must be a dream, this must be a dream, this must be...' she kept reminder herself in her head.

She felt as if she was gonna go insane, luckily her carriage came into view. Quickly rushing inside ignoring her driver, she tried breathing in and out to release some unwanted stress building up in her body. Kagura felt embarrassed, and harassed, not only that, she was furious. Never in her life has she felt that humiliated. She considered herself a classy royal who minds her own damn business. But today, she felt a different type of anger, an anger for revenge.

By dinnertime, Kagura was already dressed for dinner with her 'family.' It had been two years since her last supper with her brother & father. Though it should be something she should be happy about, she was not. Instead, she felt as if she wanted to hurl every time she saw their faces. She grew accustomed to tuning out whatever her father or her brother had to say to her. She claims that it's rude to tell someone what to do when they don't even know a single thing about them. In her dismay, she knew she was being rude, but she was fed up.

Kagura found her brother already sitting on one of the chairs, and she quickly made eye contact with him as she takes a seat.

"Well, if it isn't my dear little sister... How's this shitty castle treating you?" Kamui asks with the same smiling expression.

"Like hell," Kagura respond back in a deadpanned tone. Finally, the king came into view, and he both looked at the two siblings before taking a seat himself.

"It has been long since I last saw you Kagura, why didn't you see us when we asked you to? Are you forgetting that I am the king and-"

"Kamui, can you pass me the salt?" Kagura interrupted her father, already starting to eat her food. Kamui handed her the salt shaker, and she gladly grabbed it out of his hands, shaking some salt onto her food. Kagura looked at her father who had a shocked expression on his face. Shrugging, she continued eating her food.

"Kagura, how could you treat your father so coldly?!" Umibozu cried out, tears running down his face. "Does my own daughter not even love me back?!"

"Be quiet you old man," Kagura said acrimoniously to her father, flaring at him. "Stop whining like a baby, I thought you were the respectable king?"

That stopped Umibozu from crying and caused the whole table to turn silent. "Wait... did you actually think I'm a respectable king Kagura?" Umibozu was beaming with happiness as he rushed to give her daughter a hug. Before he could even get close to her, Kagura already stuck her foot out, hitting her father in the face. "Kagura I just want you to love me back."

"Get away from! Are you seriously a king!?" Kagura screech, as Kamui looked at the two as entertainment. "Kamui! Don't just sit there and watch! Get Papi away from me!"

"You called me Papi! Ahh, I'm so happy." The sappiness continued on until supper ended, and Kagura was only able to eat half her food ration. Sighing in annoyance, she sat in one of the chambers of the castle. She silently groaned in annoyance as her brother entered the room.

"Little sister."

"Big brother, what brings you this late at night, aren't you soon to depart to a long journey again?" Kagura said with a dark chuckle.

"I wish, but it seems that I'd be having to stay for three more days before I take my leave," Kamui replied back and sat in front of Kagura.

"What about Papi? Does he wish to finally stay and do his duties as a king? Or will he travel again, leaving all the work to me?" Kagura asks in a stern tone. Already half fed up with her conversation with her brother. Kamui's face darkened, as he too was being rather irritated at his sisters' sudden attitude.

"Your attitude of yours will be your worse enemy in the future," Kamui warned, and Kagura scoff.

"Like it hasn't already?" Kagura laughed darkly. "Look at us Kamui? You think this kingdom will last any longer?! The kingdom needs a king! Not a princess. The council doesn't even see me as a ruler in the near future, you think we'll be able to keep power for long?"

"Quiet! If they wish to overthrow us, let them do as they pleased! The country is dying already anyways... the kingdoms are losing their powers, soon an emperor will have to come and rule us all," Kagura scoffed. Kagura just sat there, feeling furious than before.

"Do you not understand what will happen if that happens?!" Kagura exclaimed in anger.

"I do! But there is nothing left for us to do... Just let it happen Kagura, you and I, even the King is unable to stop any of this mess from happening," Kamui got up from his seat, ready to leave his sister alone until Kagura stopped him.

"Then you're just gonna watch as the country falls into inflation and famine?" Kamui turned his head to Kagura, glaring at her.

"Stop thinking of those trivial matters, father and I have already given up on this kingdom already. Soon, you too will be joining us on a journey as nomads," finally, Kamui left without another word said, as Kagura stood in fury. She knew it wasn't going to last long, she had been helping out the good for nothing substitute king Sakata Gintoki since she was at a young age. Now that she's heard it from her family, she couldn't help but feel like utter crap.

Hearing the words finally hit her hard, she finally understood what it truly meant to give up. The words 'give up,' was never in her vocabulary, but now she's considering having second thoughts. If she tried to rule the kingdom, it would be impossible to do so. A girl like her would never receive the proper respect a man would receive. She looked down on the floor, she was shivering in anger. It was time for her to rest, and wake up for whatever fate has to give her.

Kagura woke up early. She felt restless, and thoughts of the events that took place yesterday kept her up at night. She looked at her reflection in front of her mirror. She had bags under her eyes, and her skin was paler. From all the stress she was having, it was harming her health. Kagura worried that the servants would notice, and she wishes for them to leave her alone.

Removing her nightgown, she walked over to her closet, briefly looking around to find something simple to wear. In the end, she decided to wear a plain dress. Looking outside her window, it was still quite dark, and Kagura decided to pass the time to go to the library and continue reading her newly bought books.

Opening the large door, Kagura enters the room, the smell of old paper and ink hits her face. Though it sounded unpleasant, Kagura enjoyed the smell of the library. She takes a seat on the large window sill, looking outside. A book in her hand, she read until she fell into slumber. During her rest, a familiar guest arrived at the castle.

"Welcome, Prince Okita Sougo."

A/N: I contemplated over and over again on this chapter. I was even planning on changing the course of direction that was going to happen but decided against it. I really wanted to extend this chapter, but then I felt like it will kill everything I was anticipating to do. I also believe that if I continued to extend the chapter, it'll just be a handful, and I don't want that to happen. :,) Honestly, I'm supposed to be doing my summer homework, but ended up creating this. It has not been edited, so feel free to tell me sentences that need to be fixed. Constructive criticism and reviews are also welcomed :). I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter, it is quite rather short, but I enjoyed making the paragraphs more detailed since I am more used creating dialogue. If you liked it so far, please add in favorites, or follow! It'll keep me motivated to keep writing this story. Till' next time~ Ciao.
