Chapter 1: Princess Kagome
Long ago the Queen gave birth to a healthy baby girl. The Queen brought her daughter out onto the balcony where the sun shone with much happiness. The Queen was quite worried, for there was a famine that spread across the land. The baby girl had soft, lustful, ivory hair and her brown eyes twinkled with much love. The Queen was very happy. A nurse came into the Queens room. The nurses name was Anne. "My Lady," said Anne "Are you alright?" The Queen turned around and smiled. "Anne," she said. "I think I'm going to call my daughter Princess Kagome." The Queen raised her daughter up high above her head. "My darling daughter," said the Queen in a hushed voice. "You will be our Angel of Hope through this famine. Though I can a only pray, that things will get better." Anne smiled. It was nice seeing the Queen happy, but because of the famine, she wondered whether or not the young princess would be able to grow up in an environment, that will make sure the princess grows up safely.

15 years later, Princess Kagome is living a normal life a princess should have. Her mother; the Queen, was getting even more concerned for her daughter's life in the kingdom. The Queen looked out of her balcony and saw her young daughter on the band stand near the private gardens. Princess Kagome looked up at the sky as she daydreamed about her future. Kagome fiddled with the pendant she got on her 14th birthday from a guest who mysteriously didn't show up at her party. She called that guest Lord Mysterious. It isn't exactly a suitable name, but she had no idea what else to call him.
Out of boredom, Kagome decided to take a walk through the private gardens. It was one of the places she loved to go when she was alone. She loved how it was so green and full of life. She also loved the fact that the flowers were always in bloom every time she came around. Her particular favorite was the Rosa Dumalis, which was also called the Glaucous Dog Rose. "Ah" sighed Kagome. "If only I can stay happy in a kingdom without problems, and if only…" Kagome sat down on a bench and looked around. "If only I can find out who is the mysterious person who gave me this pendant." Kagome held the pendant between her fingers, the small pendant was in a shape of an angel's wing. It was silver and it had diamonds around the tips of the pendant. The pendant glistened and twinkled, reflecting the warm light of the sun. Kagome sat there taking in the gorgeous scenery all around her. She daydreamed about the mysterious person, but as a princess, she couldn't forget the situation that has fallen over the land. "I wonder," she thought "how long until this famine will finally come to an end?" With one last sigh, Princess Kagome stood up and walked back through the private gardens and toward the palace.
As Kagome was walking past the board room, she heard voices. It was the voice of her mother and her mother's advisor Hojo. They seemed to be talking about her. As a princess, Kagome knew that it was rude to listen into her mother's conversation, but as Kagome, the need to know what's going on overpowered the need to ignore and walk away. So, Princess Kagome stood near the doors and tried to listen as much as possible. "My Queen," said Hojo. "Are you sure it is a wise decision? I mean, how will the princess take to it?"
"There there now Hojo," replied the Queen. "I'm sure my daughter would take to it just fine, seeing as she treasures her duties."
"Please forgive me my Queen, but do you think your daughter will be able to handle the duties of a Queen, don't you think it's too soon I mean." Said Hojo
"Me, become Queen?" whispered Kagome. She was startled to hear what they were saying. Interested and curious, Kagome listened to more of their conversation.
"Too soon Hojo?" asked the Queen, "Princess Kagome is an eligible woman. Of course she will be able to handle this arranged marriage."
"Arranged marriage?!" exclaimed Kagome in a hushed voice. "But, but how?" Kagome had heard enough. She quietly and steadily tiptoed to her bedroom without anyone suspecting a thing.
Princess Kagome sat on her queen sized bed. She sighed. "There goes my dreams on finding the right guy." She said. "If only I knew who this guy is." There was a knock on the door.
"Your Highness, are you alright in there? May I come in?" asked the voice. Kagome recognized the voice at once.
"Anne!" Laughed Kagome, "Of course you can come in!" Anne had been her nurse for as long as she can remember. To her, Anne was more like an elder sister than a nurse. Anne walked in with a smile on her face. She liked it when Princess Kagome was happy and cheerful.
"Anne," said Kagome "May I ask you a question?"
"Yes, your highness, you may." Replied Anne.
"I heard I'm getting married" said Kagome
"I see. So you heard about it then."
"Yes, but Anne,"
"Yes, your highness?"
"Who is it though?"
"Pardon?" asked Anne
"I mean," began Kagome, "Who is the guy I'm going to marry?"
"Ah, you know him your highness; he's somewhat rather charming…" Anne laughed sheepishly.
"Anne, who is it?" asked Kagome suspiciously.
"It's Prince Kouga your highness" Replied Anne, "The one who gave you a gown for your 14th birthday."
"WHAT?!?!" Exclaimed Kagome. She stood up from her bed and paced up and down her room furiously."That Jerk!" She cried, "There's no way I'm going to marry him!"
"But, your highness," said Anne "it's already been arranged. The preparations will be starting early next week."
"Ugh!" cried Kagome, she jumped on her bed, her face landing in the middle of her pillow.
"Please your highness, you'll mess up your gown and your hair." Said Anne calmly.
"It doesn't matter!" yelled Kagome, she sat upright and sighed. "I'm sorry Anne, it's just that, it's just that." She sighed, "I don't love this guy."
"Well then, what are you going to do?" asked Anne.
"I don't know." Replied Kagome
"Well then," said Anne "I better get back to my duties." Kagome looked at Anne in a confused manner. "I'll be leaving you alone to think to yourself" said Anne slyly.
She winked and at once Kagome's face lit up, she laughed. "Thanks Anne." Cried Kagome. Anne closed the door and Kagome was left in peace.
