Sorry, I'm too lazy to update…heh-heh-heh. I don't have much to say right now…ok, on with the story!

Happily Never After

Chp. 7, Two Special Guests

By Winter.Petal

"Uggh…" muttered Kagome as Kikyo shifted in her seat again in the carriage.

"Oooh! I'm sooooooo excited! I can't wait to get to the palace!" exclaimed Kikyo. "I'm going to meet THE Prince Hojo!"

Kagome sighed, "Miroku, how much longer?"

"Um…about 10 minutes!"

"You said that 10 minutes ago!"

"Did not!"

"Yes you did! I remember very clearly. I have great memory!"

"Really?" asked Miroku, "Then tell me some facts about your life when you were small."

"Um…", Kagome paused for awhile. "When I was 13, there was this fisherman's son, and he wouldn't stop following me. He asked me to go to some party in town with him."

"Ooh, lala", smiled Miroku.

"Shut up"

"I'm soooooo excited! I'm going to the palace!"

"Ugggh!"

"13 is too old. You have to say something you remember from when you were seven.", said Miroku bringing back the other subject.

"Um…", thought Kagome.

Flashback

"Daddy! Can we PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE go to the beach? Please, please, please?", begged two little girls.

The man laughed. "Oh, why not? But not today, we can go after my trip!"

"Aww!"

End Flashback

"I bet you couldn't even remember anything before you were the age of 13!", laughed Miroku.

Flashback

DING DONG!

"Daddy is back! Daddy is back!" yelled two girls.

But at the door, wasn't their daddy. It was a man with a moustache and brown curly hair. He wore a black top and black pants.

The smaller girl, Mari, walked up to Amaya and tugged at her dress. "Where's daddy?" she asked.

The man in black coughed. "Your…", he then turned to Amaya, "Are you Mrs. Higurashi?"

Amaya looked like she was about to cry. She was very good at acting, especially when it came to looking not happy in any way. "No…no….no…", she whispered.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Higurashi, but your husband, Mr. Higurashi is dead.", the man gulped, any one could see he didn't like it when the wife crumples like paper and starts sobbing.

"When's daddy coming back, Kagome?", asked Mari.

"Daddy…", whispered Kagome, she spoke a little louder, "Daddy is…Daddy is not coming back soon."

"So when is he coming back?"

"Never", whispered Kagome as Amaya began fake crying. Everyone in the house knew that Amaya hated Kagome and Mari's father, and his children. Once she married the guy, she began to throw out all his books. She'd take all his money and spend it on dresses for Kikyo, and suits for Kioko and jewelry for herself. Oh, and brooms for Kagome to sweep the house.

End Flashback

"Kagome? Are you ok?"

"Oh, sorry about that, I was just daydreaming,", replied Kagome.

"Oooooooooh! I'm soooooooo excited! I'm going to the palace!", squealed Kikyo.

"So, you gonna tell me something that you remember from when you were young?", asked Miroku.

"Oh…nothing that I need to share with you.", said Kagome trying to smile.

"I bet it's probably because you don't remember…whatever!", shrugged Miroku, "We're at the palace now!"

"Oooooh! Goodie! We're finally here!"

"FINALLY! Stupid carriages…"

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"My…daughter is going to be a little princess," cried Amaya with happy tears., "She's going to be the future QUEEN!"

"Mom, what kind of cheese is this?" asked Kioko as he pointed to some cheese on his plate.

"You just ruined the moment Kioko," glared Amaya.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"Darling Hojo, my son. Your princess just arrived!", smiled the Queen.

"She is here? Quickly! I must be there when she comes out of the carriage!", exclaimed Prince Hojo as he walked sophistically out of his room.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Kagome sat in the boring old smelly carriage as she waited to finally leave this dreaded vehicle. While Kikyo really wanted to leave the carriage just so she could meet the 'wonderful' Prince Hojo.

"Todaaaaay", yelled a man outside that Kikyo and Kagome couldn't see, "iz zee day…" Kagome rolled her eyes, "in vich…vee shall meet our footur qeen." (a/n: translation: Today is the day in which we shall meet our future queen.) Suddenly there was loud clapping, shouting and screaming.

"Oooooooh! I'm soooooo excited! I can't wait! That's the people cheering for ME! They think I'm fabulous, which I really am but whatever, and they think I'm beautiful! And I really am! Ooooooh!", Kikyo happily said.

"Kill me now", muttered Kagome as she glared at Kikyo, "Nice to know that you're ignoring me and saying that you'll be automatically princess when Prince Hojo sees you. I thought you weren't really the person that he likes. I thought he liked some other girl…Kikyo was her name?"

"Oh…I forgot…you're here.", Kikyo said dumbly, "Well, first of all, I'm prettier. Number two, it's not Prince Hojo, it's Prince Honey Babe. DUH! I just made that up, anyway. Number three, I went to the ball, and you didn't. Number four, I can't think of anything else. Number five, I'm going to stop right now since five is my lucky number."

Kagome rolled her eyes again. At least she doesn't say 'like' all the time anymore, thought Kagome.

"In dis! Carrwage, right over tere. Is your footur qeen. It is said that see has black har that is a bit wavy at the end. AND! She has beauuuuuutiful." (a/n: translation: In this! Carriage, right over there. Is your future queen. It is said that she has black hair that is a bit wavy at the end. AND! She is beautiful)

"Oops", whispered Miroku.

Kagome tilted her head, "What?"

"I forgot to tell them that there's you and Kikyo in the carriage."

"Oh…", answered Kagome, "Shoot."

"Yeah…", replied a nervous Miroku

"…..", was all that Kikyo did to respond to that statement.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"Here iz…zee Prince!"

"Hello, my people! Are you ready to meet your future queen?", said Hojo into the microphone.

"YEAH!", screamed the crowd.

"Are you excited?"

"YEAH!"

"Do you want to eat hotdogs?" Hojo paused…"Sorry, never mind that last part. Do you…wait that's it!" the crowd sweat-dropped, "And…she is here! In that carriage!" exclaimed Hojo as he pointed to a carriage.

Inside the carriage, no on could hear the words that came out of Kagome's mouth, "Uh-oh..."

Your all probably thinking why would a person that just had her toes cut off be so happy? I started thinking that after awhile…but I don't want to change it…too lazy. Maybe she ate too much sugar before she left…I dunno…I also don't really know what should happen in the next chapter…yet…I'll try to update next week
