Chapter Two

.:A Shattered Window:.

It hit Kagome like a bullet. She paled as the words replayed in her head. Kagome had heard terrible things about the ruler of Wasashi and his son. The rumors she had heard from the town's people had always been horrible. They said that he's snobbish and self-centered, and had no respect for anyone. She also knew Wasashi was one of the most powerful lands around, so she had no trouble figuring out why her father chose this kingdom.

Her mother started to sob louder, which made Kagome almost feel sorry for her. 'No,' she thought. 'There's no way this is real. It's just a nightmare. Yea, it's just a nightmare. I'll wake up sooner or later.' But she knew it wasn't an illusion. She knew that it was real.

"They'll be here by nightfall and stay for 5 days. After that time passes, you will return to their kingdom where you will live out the rest of your days." The king no longer looked sad, but for some reason, he looked happy. Almost triumphant.

'What!? He's happy? He's happy that he has succeeded in ruining my future?' Kagome became furious as angry tears began to run down her cheek.

The princes shook with hatred. She never thought it could be possible. For one to hate one's own parents, but now she knew that it was possible. For that is what she felt.

The girl trembled and said quietly, "I h-hate you daddy." With that she burst out of the throne room, tears flying everywhere.

Her vision was blurry from the tears that were now streaming down her face. The raven-haired princess burst into her room while Sango was busy scrubbing her floors.

Kagome threw herself on her bed and cried into her pillows. Sango hated to see her friend like this. Kagome was always happy, and Sango had never really seen her firend this upset. Sango rubbed her back comfortingly. "Come on Kaggy, {a/n-Kaggy? -.-} let's pick out a dress for you to wear tonight."

Kagome looked out her window at the sundial in the garden. It read 17 hundred hours. {I think that's how you say it. Anyway, it's 5pm.}

"His majesty said they would arrive around 19 hundred hours, so that doesn't give us much time to get you ready," Sango said trying to cheer her friend up, but failing miserably.

Kagome got out of the bath tub and dried herself off. She looked at Sango who was deep in thought. "What is it Sango?" she asked.

"Oh, umm, it's nothing," she said quickly.

"Come on Sango, you know you can tell me anything."

"It's just, your father asked me to wear something nice tonight. But, I don't have that many nice dresses. I didn't want to tell you because it sounds like I am spoiled." She sighed. "Oh, the drawbacks of being a maid."

Kagome smiled at her friend's comment. "Sango, you can borrow one of my dresses. You know I have way too many."

Sango looked at her friend with thankful eyes. "You mean it Kagome?"

"Of course! You've done so much for me. Why shouldn't I? How about we help each other get ready?"

And so the two girls went to work making everything perfect. Kagome wore a beautiful green ball gown with her hair pulled into a tight bun with a few strand hanging down.

Sango stared at her friend in awe. "Kagome, you look wonderful. You're going to blow that prince away!" she laughed.

Kagome looked at her friend's attire. Sango had put on a light pink dress with her long hair flowing down her back.

"Yea well, you're going to blow the prince's servent away, Sangy," she laughed.

Sango looked at her and twitched a little. "Sangy?"

"Hey, if you can call my Kaggy, I should be able to call you Sangy."

Sango rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.

Everyone waited in the throne room for the arrival of the king and prince. Kagome began to get nervous as the time drew nearer to when they would walk through the castle gates. Time went by, and still no king. Nearly half an hour after their due arrival time, Kagome stood up.

"Well, I guess they aren't coming. Oh well, that's alright. I guess I'll just go back to-"

But she stopped as the room erupted with the sound of glass breaking. The princess looked up in horror as she saw someone burst through the stained glass window, pieces of it falling everywhere. The figure flew through the mess and she saw a streak of black and silver.

"No," she whispered. "It can't be."

Oooo, my first cliffy! Wheee! Ahem, sorry about that. Anyway, I hoped you guys liked it. I shall update as soon as possible! Again, sorry for the delay. I'll make up for it. I promise!
