Kagome was smiling brightly the next morning when she woke up. "MOM! WHAT'S FOR BREAKFAST!"
It was silent when the door opened. "I'm not sure what your mother is having, but if we leave now, we may make it in time for lunch." She shot up out of bed and stared in shock and surprise at a smiling Conrad.
"...Not...n-not a dream...?"
"No, not a dream, now, get dressed. We dried your female school uniform."
He placed the skirt, top, undershirt, socks and shoes on the end of her bed before turning to leave.
"Hey…Wait! Where is my board?"
"Your...oh, the last I checked, Gunter was in the front trying to figure out what it was. He is intent on showing his...beautiful Majesty that he too can master the...contraption, as he calls it." Kagome watched him leave and shut the door before jumping out of the bed and stripping down before throwing her clothes on and running out of her room.
"Gunter!" She called.
He was sitting on the front steps staring in confusion at the wheels. "Your Majesty...I was just...uh..."
She sighed in relief upon seeing it in one piece. "I'll teach you when we have a flat surface that won't shred my wheels." He nodded and handed the skateboard back to her. She cherished her skateboard as if her life depended on it. Her Bh Ball Engine Block Board was her favorite among three others. "So...which way are we heading?" Kagome asked as she started walking towards the dirt road.
"We are heading left. Here is your horse." Kagome turned to see a beautiful black mare. Next to it was two others that were already mounted on by Conrad and Gunter. On the black one was her bag.
"Thanks, I'd much rather walk though, so I'll take her reigns and follow behind you two." They stared at her before nodding and snapping the reigns of their horses enough for a light trot.
-x-x-x-
They had been walking for what seemed like hours. Actually, that's because they had been walking for hours. Kagome was smiling as she took in the beautiful world she had almost drowned to get to. She looked up and waved at the flying skeleton. "Hi there!" It did a clacking thing with its boney jaws before waving back. "So...how much further?"
"It's just up ahead, right past the village." Gunter answered. She glanced behind her at the soldiers who had caught up with them on their way to the castle.
"Your Majesty...!" Kagome turned in time to see a little girl with light purple/pink hair in two thick pig tails running towards her with a bowl of water. Kagome smiled and despite the protest of both Gunter and Conrad...she drank it.
"Thank you; you are a sweet little girl. Your mom and dad must be very proud. I know I would be." The girl blushed at that and smiled before running back to her mother.
"Please your Majesty, you must be weary of what is given to you. In future reference, do not eat or drink anything that is not prepared or checked by our royal chefs."
Kagome rolled her eyes and continued walking. "Please, forgive me for saying this Gunter, but I will never suspect a child of poisoning me."
Gunter sighed.
Conrad smiled. "You should be more cautious, but...at least you don't have a constant suspicion of humans." Conrad said.
She said nothing before climbing onto her horse that had stopped moving with her. "You guy's race?" She asked the guards who looked at each other. She took her bag from the side of her horse and placed her skateboard inside safely so that it couldn't fall out, before placing it around her own shoulders, so not to hurt the horse. "First one to the entrance of the castle...wins. Ready...Set...GO!" She snapped the reigns and the others followed close behind.
"Your Majesty, where did you learn to ride? You are incredible." Kagome glanced at Gunter in surprise before smiling.
"I learned yesterday, watching Conrad ride up to that Adelbert guy on his horse. This is however the first time I've ridden a horse by myself. Actually, the only thing I'd like to know is...HOW DO I STOP!" She cried out as they came upon the entrance.
"PULL THE REIGNS YOUR MAJESTY!" She did and the horse came to a slow stop. They opened the gates and she turned to face the soldiers, Conrad and Gunter.
"Hehe, I win. That was fun." She turned back and started in at a slow trot, completely ignoring the speech Gunter was giving. She looked down and climbed off her horse. She took the offered flowers from the little girl next to her and smiled. "Thank you." She pulled one out and placed it behind the little girl's ear before walking next to her horse with a smile as she looked around at the many shops and villagers.
More bouquets were tossed to her, she caught them with ease. She swatted a bee away from her horse which she had noticed was starting to get irritated.
"Your Majesty, we are getting close to the exit, you should mount now."
She nodded and did as told. "Hey, who is that?"
The two looked ahead and frowned.
"That is Stoffel von Spitzweig. He was the former Regent or the former Maoh of Demon Kingdom." Conrad answered.
"I see."
"Steer clear of him, Your Majesty. He will try to corrupt you with his false words and lies."
"This guy is that bad, huh? You want me to run him over with my horse?" She asked in a serious tone.
The others stared, not sure if she was joking or actually serious.
Suddenly they all stared in shock as she pricked her horse with something they couldn't see. It took off in fear and those in front of her jumped out of the way. They couldn't speak. All they could do was watch as she made a quick beeline towards the castle.
-x-x-x-
"Whoa~ girl! Calm down...I'm sorry..." She consoled the horse as it slowed and walked the rest of the way in. She hopped off and pat the horse gently on the nose. "All better, right?" The horse shook its head in a way that made her hair fly about. "No...I guess that was a bit mean. Alright, you want a carrot?" Again, it shook its head. "How about an Apple?" The black horse seemed to pause and think it over before nodding, Kagome laughed, unaware of the blue eyes watching her or the green eyes glaring at her.
"YOUR MAJESTY!"
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"I'm fine...though, she's a bit sore with me; but other then that, yeah, I'm fine."
"That was a dangerous stunt you just pulled."
"Oh stop it. I knew that Stoffel guy would jump out of the way. Who's stupid enough to stand in the way of a horse on charge?"
"Actually, he is. It was his advisor that pulled him out of the way." Gunter retaliated.
"...Oh...uh, sorry?" Conrad chuckled and glanced behind her causing Kagome to turn as well. "Oh, hello there."
Another glared at her. "This...is our king?"
"HEY! IT'S QUEEN...check the chest, I'm a girl!" Conrad smiled at the flabbergasted look on both his and Gunter's faces.
"How indecent, are you really our...queen?"
Kagome turned to see...'What grandma did I walk across the street...to be blessed with this teenage god...?' Kagome took a small step forward, "Who are you?" She asked softly, taking them all by surprise.
"Well, at least you're not loud anymore. I am Lord Wolfram von Bielefelt. You can call me Lord Bielefelt."
'Scratch that, what grandma did I kick to deserve this bratty teenage god?' Kagome scoffed, "I think 'conceited' is a better name for you."
He stared at her with his mouth opened slightly as if to say something, but she just ignored him as she turned to Gunter and asked where she could take a warm bath.
-x-x-x-
"How dare she!" Conrad listened to Wolfram as he stormed into the dinning room.
'Causing trouble already...hm...' He smiled before walking off towards the baths where Kagome was.
-x-x-x-
"This...is nice." She sighed as the warm water covered her entire frame.
"Oh, your majesty!" She turned to see a woman with beautiful blonde hair and pretty green eyes walking towards her in just a towel.
"Hi, are you one of the Lady's here. I've met a few of the Lords already." Kagome said.
"Ah, yes. I am Lady Cecilie von Spitzweig, but please, call me Celi, Cel-i."
Kagome nodded as the woman asked to join. "Sure, I'd enjoy the company. So far all I've met are men. It's nice to have a female to talk to."
"I'm sure you will meet many more, your Majesty."
"Oh, Kagome, please. I hope that I do. Uh, not that it's any of my business...but is Lord Wolfram...your son?"
"My, yes he is! How could you tell? Was it our personalities, the same charming and charismatic disposition?"
"Uh...yeah...charming..." She smiled, 'Actually, it was the hair and eyes, but I don't want to ruin baby boy's image...'
"Isn't my Wolfie just precious!"
'Not exactly the word I'd go for...' Kagome sighed, "He doesn't seem to be all that thrilled with my being here...if I was to be honest, I'd say he abhors the very thought of it."
"...hm, just give him some time to come around. I am positive that you and he will become great friends."
"I wonder." She murmured softly to herself.
-x-x-x-
Gunter was standing outside the bath waiting when both Lady Cecilie and Kagome came out in towels.
"We will be there soon. Tell everyone that we are just getting dressed."
Gunter stared in surprise at the two, not able to speak, he ran away holding a bloody nose as he made his way to the dinning room. Conrad had gone back to talk with the other two who were curious about what Kagome had done that was considered...'A dangerous stunt'.
"Come Kagome, I have a beautiful dress that would look great on you for your welcome dinner."
"Welcome dinner?"
"Well, your first dinner in the castle is a more appropriate title."
-x-x-x-
Gunter walked in and the first thing he did was get a tissue. "Lady Spitzweig has taken Kagome, and they are getting dressed. She will show her here."
"...you left her...with mother?" Wolfram asked.
"I...I couldn't do anything. They were dressed in just towels and I...I was...I had very naughty thoughts."
They stared at him and were going to say something when Lady Cecilie walked in.
"Where is her Majesty?" Conrad asked causing her to look behind her and frown.
"She was behind me just a moment ago..." She walked out and smiled. "Kagome dear, come on...you look beautiful."
"Celi...I won't even wear dresses for my mother...why am I doing this for you?"
"Well, not that I gave you a choice...It was this or the red tights and corset dress." The guys stared at Cecilie in shock.
"MOTHER!" Wolfram said in shock and alarm.
"Oh hush! I didn't force her into anything too risqué."
Kagome sighed, "It isn't risquéat all..." she walked in wearing an exquisite silk ombre dress that had a strapless sweetheart neckline and a ruffle drape down the center of the gown. The ombre shifted from ivory to deep cobalt; the dress was absolutely stunning on her. "No...I just hate dresses..." Kagome sighed as all of the eyes were officially on her, "And this is why I don't wear dresses."
"..."
"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, I have two things I wish to say; first and foremost, allow me to compliment you, you look stunning."
Kagome frowned, "No need to lie, Conrad; my body is fit for pants and shirts, not dresses."
"Lord Weller may be a lot of things, but a liar is not one of them!"
Kagome raised a brow at a now blushing Wolfram. "Right..."
Conrad smiled softly, "As I was saying, let me introduce you to my elder brother, Lord Gwendal von Voltaire, and you have met my younger brother, Lord Wolfram von Bielefelt. This is our mother, Lady Cecilie von Spitzweig."
"Yes, I have met and become well acquainted with Celi. It's nice to meet you all."
"It is truly nice to have you here. I have wanted to retire for some time now." Cecile smiled wistfully.
"Retire?"
"Yes, I was the ex Maoh of Demon Kingdom."
"...So...shouldn't your oldest son be the next Maoh?"
"It is not our choice. It is decided by the first King."
"Who is dead?"
"Yes."
"He's still giving orders?"
"Yes."
"If being Maoh means that when you die you still have to work...I'm not sure I want to do it."
"Don't worry! I'm sure my sons would be only too happy to help you out until you're ready."
"WHAT! I would never lower myself to serving a human like her."
"She houses the soul of our late great king and is the daughter of earths Maoh, Wolfram."
"...wha...still, she is only half demon. Her mother is still human. Probably just a cheap, easy, trek who got pregnant on a one night—"
~BANG~
They stared at Kagome with wide eyes. Her hand was bleeding from her grip on the knife she had just stabbed into the table. "...talk about me, and badmouth my boyish and indecent behavior...but my mother has never done anything to deserve the names you have given her. You don't even know her." Wolfram went to say something when she suddenly turned to and brought her hand up to slap him. He closed his eyes and waited for the sting...it never came. He opened his eyes and they widened at the sight of her hand in a scolding manner, blood dripped to the floor. She pointed her pointer finger at him so that it was just in front of his nose and eyes. "It's impolite to talk about people you have never met. Don't do it again..." With that, she turned and left. Her hand now wrapped in a white cloth like napkin she had grabbed before departing.
"...impressive...though...I won't lie. I had secretly been hoping for her to propose to him."
"What's impressive?" Gwendal asked his mother, looking at the stalk-still and shocked form of his youngest brother.
"Well, the scent that was coming off Kagome, I'm sure you smelt it when we entered; it's lavender, and although in small doses it can be quite calming, in larger doses, it can intensify any feeling or sensation."
"So if someone was merely...upset with someone else, it would turn to pure hatred?"
"Yes, and it's impressive that she managed to pull her thoughts together before hitting Wolfie."
"..."
