Misty's greeting's: Okay hi, people, I am MistyWind, the soon to be ruler of the world! Mwhaha ha ha…. Oh no! (Dodges random objects thrown by fans.) Whoa, that ways close! Okay, so I'll stick to writing. Sorry I haven't been up dating lately…

I went to a school dance! Wheeee! Well I finally got one dance with my prince charming! Mwhaha ha ha! (Prince charming looks around and gets a feeling someone is talking about him, "must be that crazy girl at school….") And I further embarrassed by giving him a flower on Valentines Day…. Although there is a rumor he is going to ask me out! But it's just a rumor…(that's makes me sad!) Okay enough about me, on with the show! I mean story…. Whatever…

Glass Slippers

Chapter two:

The Wheel, Deal, and Killing Shippo

Kakoki rolled her eyes and watched her stepdaughter scrub the kitchen floor, as the rain pounded against the window. In a minute or two the girl would be almost done. She smiled and stopped to admire her work. Proudly she stood up and faced Kakoki, who was standing the doorway.

"Finished!" Kagome said.

Kakoki stared at her stepdaughter. Her ebony hair was shining in the sunlight, and her green eyes shown brightly. She was almost back to the way she used to look. That made Kakoki burn with anger.

Kagome had always had been prettier then her own daughter, and herself. She couldn't stand that! For ten years Kakoki worked to wear Kagome down to nothing, but for ten years the young girl forted her efforts. She even was starting to get her figure back, instead of her pencil-like shape, where you can see every bone in her petite body.

"May I go to town, mother?" Kagome asked sweetly, her voice sounded like an angel. Kakoki touched her own vocal cords. Compared to Kagome, she sounded like a banshee.

Kakoki walked though kitchen, tracking mud, dirt, and other substances that could be found on her boots. Kagome watched, in dismay, as her stepmother tarnished all her hard work. "Kagome look at this messy! You call this finished! No! Hell no! What in heaven's name were you thinking?"

"I-" Kagome began to protest.

"Obviously you weren't thinking! And for doing such a horrible job you going to skip all meals today!" Feeling pleased with herself, Kakoki turned to leave. But she turned to look over at her for a second. "Oh and I hope you know you won't be attending the ball."

"The message said it was mandatory for all young women!" Kagome sputtered, although it made sense to her that Kakoki wouldn't let her go.

"You'd bring down your sister. Please tell me that you have enough brains to realize this. It would be an awful sight to see a peasant, such as your self, next to a beauty, such as your step sister!" And with no remorse for her stepdaughter's feelings, Kakoki tracked mud into the kitchen and the entrance hall, called for daughter, and together, they left the kitchen and headed into the rainstorm.

Kagome sighed and fought her tears, which were welling up in the corners of her green eyes. "How could be so naïve as to think she would let me go?" The messenger guy said that even Sang was look forward to this. But even worse was that an odd empty feeling swelled up inside her, that she couldn't explain. Like her heart was telling her what she was missing. But what could that be?

A small drop of water plopped on to the ground, followed by a few more. Kagome wiped her face. "I want to go to the ball."

"Kagome…" Sango was standing in the kitchen behind her, soaking wet. Small drops of water on the window led to Kagome's theory that she came through the window. "I-I saw the whole thing." Sango's eyes drooped to the grounded as several droplets of water trickled off her hair, face, and soaking-wet jeans as T-shirt. "They treat you awful here! Kagome that's why you have to go to the ball, he'll see you and-"

"Who will see me?" Kagome questioned in a soft voice.

Sango gave a small sorrowful smile, like she was remembering something for a long ago. And Kagome's heart swelled once more as if was trying together her to remember too. "Sorry Kagome, I forgot."

"About what?" Kagome raised an eyebrow curiously. "Tell me!"

"I-its nothing of great importance."

"It must have some importance. Tell me!" she commanded again.

"No!"

"Come on, you know you want to!" Kagome teased. But only added to Sango's sorrowful eyes.

"I really want to Kagome, but I can't, not right now. Please try to understand!" Kagome's best friend tucked a strand of her dusky brown hair behind her ear. And she gave Kagome a look that, Kagome had never seen before, but somehow, some where, she had seen it.

The look was of dispirited heartbreak, sorrow, and it seemed her heart was bleeding. Kagome pushed herself to remember when she had seen that before.

The image of a hospital flashed into her mind. Sango was standing beside her, she was, she was…. Crying? Why?

A surged of pain rippled through her body, and she did the only thing to stop the pain in her mind.

She screamed.

Miroku strolled quickly and quietly into the king's throne room. "Sir, I like to state a proposal…" He said as confident as he could, despite the fact he was shaking in his boots.

The king turned to him and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, then state it, Miroku."

"Um, it's an education law-er- it uh…states that all children must go to school to school until they reach the age of eighteen, or-um- they will be –er- relocated to a more suitable home," Miroku managed to say, still shaking like leaf.

"Hmmm," Inuyasha's father said while rubbing his beard with a large hand covers in many gold rings, "they have something like that in America. Lets do it!"

Miroku smiled, "good."

"Aright, you proposed your idea, now leave it to me to work out the kinks." The king said.

"Yes your Highness." The boy said bowing as he exited the chamber room.

Sango was currently washing her best friend's kitchen. Kagome was taking care of the entrance hall. Damn! Kakoki could mess a place up! Sango thought to herself. Poor Kagome having to put up with the hellish woman and her demon-spawned daughter 24-7!

Ri ree ri reee ring! Sango looked down to where her pocket was ringing to the song "Simple and Clean" (in case you didn't know, that's the theme song to Kingdom Hearts, my favorite video. Bear with me people!) "Oh Miroku's calling!" She pulled out her pink cell phone and flipped it open. "Hey Miroku, how did the propose work out? Did the King like it?"

"Hey baby-"

"Call me baby again and I'll make you eat your cell phone." Sango said with daggers dripping venom from every word that came from her mouth.

"Okay, okay, sorry! God I can't believe I forgot you. How could I not remember a such a strong hottie!" Miroku said, digging himself a deeper grave once Sango got a hold of him.

"Miroku do want me to kill you!" Sango hissed as she tried hard to keep voice down so that Kagome wouldn't hear her.

"Sorry Sango it's my nature!" Miroku pleaded into the phone. "Um, wanna know what the king said," the boy hoping to change the subject.

"Please!" Sango said change in emotions from angry to excitement as quick as a rapid river.

Miroku rolled his eyes, to him women, like Sango could be so complex! "He said he liked it, and that he is working out the kinks in it, or something to that effect."

"Good job Miroku! This means when Kakoki refuses to send Kagome to school-" Sango smirked.

Miroku grinned just as evilly as Sango as they plotted their cunning plan to save Kagome. "And because there isn't a more suitable home-"

"Mr. Miroku?" piped a small voice. Miroku peered down to see a small boy with a little red tail poking out the back of his trousers.

"Sorry, babe I have to go!" Miroku said

"MIROKU YOU ARE SO DEAD." Sango screamed so loud that it rattled the gold chandelier in the entrance hall.

"Sango who are talking to so loudly too?" Kagome peeked her head into the kitchen.

"Um- no one Kagome," Sango said shyly, clicking the phone closed and sliding it into the back pocket of her jeans.

"Oh…are you feeling alright?" Kagome asked innocently, raising an eyebrow.

"Who are you one the phone with Miroku?" Shippo asked, his blue-green eyes sparked with curiosity.

"Just my sweet girlfriend Sango." Miroku said smiling in a dazed state, as he dreamed of the thought of Sango dating him.

"She didn't seem very found of you," Shippo commented. "She yelled at you on the phone."

"Oh…Well…She playing hard to get." Miroku said snapping out of his dream-like state.

"Why?" The kitsune questioned.

"Girls do that when they like a boy." Miroku answered profoundly.

"Ooh, like when mommy use to get mad at daddy and throw hairdryers at him." The little boy said amazed.

"Um…. Yeah, it's like that." Miroku said. "Anyway why did you need me Shippo?"

"I forgot…" Shippo sniffed. "I am I in trouble?"

"As long as it wasn't Inuyasha who sent you your fine." Miroku said.

"Uh-oh…"

"Shippo, tell me your kidding, it wasn't-was it?"

"I'm sorry." The kitsune began to cry.

Thwap thwap thwap

"Shippo I suggest you run." Miroku said calmly.

"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Shippo cried harder.

And then he came.

"SHIPPO!" Inuyasha came bounding in.

"Hiya Inu. How's it going?" Miroku said.

"Hi, where is Shippo?" the prince said smiling.

"I-I-I'm r-right here." Shippo stepped slowly out of his hiding place from behind Miroku.

"Oh, hi!" said Inuyasha still smiling "step closer so I can strangle you!" And with he step closer to Shippo and wrapped to strong hands around tightly against Shippo's small throat.

"Waaaaaaaaah I am sorry I forgot to tell Miroku." Shippo cried loudly as Inuyasha throttled him.

"Tell me what?" Asked Miroku as he saved Shippo from the hanyou's grip of doom.

"That my dad invited Naraku to stay at the castle."

"Oh and your killing are best servant because of that why?"

"I told him to tell you four hours ago, and I know he didn't tell you because you would of came up to talk to me about it."

"Why didn't you tell me yourself?"

"I didn't feel like it."

Miroku smiled and punch his friend in the arm.

"So how your girlfriend doing, Miroku!" Inuyasha asked, changing the subject.

"She is going to throw a hair dryer at him!" Shippo said innocently.

"That's sounds about right." Inuyasha laughed as Miroku now tried to strangle Shippo, which resulted in the kitsune biting him on the hand. (He wouldn't bit the prince because that would be treason.)

Kakoki and Kikyo were sitting in the most famous restaurant in Salvin, as a dark cloaked figure sat down at the table. His red eyes stared at Kikyo, closely. "Are to all ready to commence are perilous plot for the crown?"

"As ready as I'll ever be sweetie." Kikyo said with a smile on her face. "Naraku, honey, this will work out perfectly. I promise."
