Royalty Sucks!

One morning in the kingdom of Tokyo, an elegant hime by the name of Kagome, she had raven black hair and large grey blue eyes. She was enjoying her breakfast, when her mother the queen, came down and announced to her:
"Kagome, dear, as you know, your mother, I, am getting old. I will need some one to take care of you when I am no longer capable of that." Queen Reiko {I don't know what Kagome's mother's name is but I happen to like the name Reiko} said to her daughter. ~Uh-oh....~ thought Kagome. ~I know what she is hinting at....~
"And as you see, you are now of marrying age...." She continues. Kagome interrupts her "Mother, can we not get into this situation again? I know what you want to say but I don't want to get married yet."
"But Kagome, dear, I know that you do not want to get married yet, but, I need to know that you'll be in good hands when I can no longer take good care of you. And I already sent notices out for a ball tomorrow...." Reiko said as matter of factedly.
"Nani~~?! How could you do this to me?!?! I'm your blood daughter!!" Kagome shouts.
"Excuse you, young lady. Is this the way to talk to your mother? There is a ball tomorrow and you are to attend and look your very best. You are dismissed." With that she leaves to attend the political affairs and leaves a speechless hime with her jaws dropped in a very unladylike manner. Then looked at her breakfast and decided it didn't look as appetizing as before and retreated to her room.

******************************************

Meanwhile at another side of Japan, in the kingdom of Fujimori, a really bad tempered koutaishi was arguing with the king of Fujimori.
"I told you oyaji! I don't plan on getting married yet or anytime soon!" Prince Inuyasha yelled at his father. Inuyasha had golden eyes and snow white hair with two little kawaii dog ears on top.
"Is that anyway to address to your chichue?!? And I already replied to the invitations and it would look bad for the Fujimori Kingdom, as one of the largest kingdoms, not to show up. And it is not that far way!!! It is the closet kingdom to ours and you might actually like the princess. And why can't you be like your brother? He accepted this rather well." King Inutaisho pointed out.
"Don't compare me to Sesshoumaru all the time!! You know I f***ing hate that!" Inuyasha shouted.
"See that proves that your brother is much more intelligent than you showing that he understands what has to be done has to me done. Not a immature bastard like you!" the king yelled.
That did it.
"Keh! I'll go the stupid ball and show you that I'm just as good as Sesshoumaru!!" Inuyasha shouted in return.
~Heh heh. I always knew that trick would do it against Inuyasha. He's such a glutton.~ the king thought and secretly smiled to himself.

That night, the Kagome was thinking to herself what she would do. She didn't want to get married so soon. ~Maybe I could run away, but koutaigou would have guards at the beginning of the ball until I show up........Mochiro! I could show up FIRST THEN LEAVE when !!!! Yes!!! I should start preparing.~ So Kagome goes to her closet and picks out her cheapest clothes and a lot of money and some of her jewelry for just in case. ~hey~ she frowns at her clothes, ~even my cheapest clothes look so luxurious. I would surely be standing out..........Maybe I could ask some of the servants or just borrow them until I can return.....~
Just then she heard a knock on the door. ~Shimatta! I better hide these stuff quick!~ she looked around and saw that under her bed has some clothes and shoved her pack there then sat on her desk and pretended to write in her diary. "Come in."
Then a thin maid, with a high ponytail, stepped in her room with a large laundry basket. "Hime-sama, do you have any dirty gowns that you would like me to take?"
"No Sango. Um..........would you happen to have any of your old clothes still?" Kagome asked ~Please say yes.....~ and waited for the girl to reply.
"Of course I do hime-sama. But what would you want to do with do with the peasants' clothing?" Sango asked curiously. ~why would a hime who has the best of everything want so raggedy clothes?~
"Oh...eto....ano ne..... I wanted to know what the peasants of Tokyo wore. I'm just curious. Yeah that's it." Kagome stuttered.
"Oh it would be my honor to show you hime-sama." Sango replied smiling. ~it's nice to have a princess that wants to understand peasant life.~{now that's not how we know it heh heh}
"ARIGATO SANGO-CHAN!!!" Kagome was so happy. Another step of her plan completed. Two hours later, when Sango was finished with her chores, she took her clothes (and cleaned them before she presented them) and explained each piece and how to use them to the fasinated hime.
~Wow! I never thought that peasants' clothing was that complicated. But it's a good thing that I asked so I would know how they fit together.~ "Um....Sango-chan can I borrow these?" Kagome asked.
"Sure hime-sama! It would be my pleasure!" Sango beamed.
"Arigato. Ano...Can you not call me hime-sama? Just call me Kagome or Kagome-chan. Onegai?" Kagome asks.
"Oh, but hime-sama that's against the rules, the queen will punish me for being disrespectful!" Sango explained.
"Don't worry. As long as I allow it then koutaigou will understand." Kagome assured her.
"Ok then. Arigato him...Kagome-chan." Sango complied. ~she is so nice too~
"I'll tell koutaigou to promote to a higher class servant. You will be taking care of things less triing. I cant stand to see my new friend doing the laundry everyday." Kagome said. ~I really wanted to make her my personal maid, but if I run away tomorrow that will get her in trouble for not watching me properly.~
"ARIGATO Kagome-chan! Then I'll go and get my stuff ready for it!" Sango was so happy.
"Ok then you can go rest. Oyasumi nasai." Kagome yawns.
"Hai!" Sango said cheerily and started to her room.
After Sango left, Kagome took Sangos clothes and put them in her pack. ~Let's see.... I got clothes, money, jewelry.... Is there anything else I need? ................My bow and arrows!!!!!~ she went to look for them and found then she shoved everything under her bed and planned for the next day.

In the other kingdom....................
~CH'KUSO!!! I fell for it AGAIN!!!!! How can I be soooooo stupid?!?!~ Inuyasha realized that what his dad said was a trick. ~Shit I cant go back on my word or else they will never make me forget it. And I will look bad....kuso!~
Inuyasha was sitting on his windowsill, thinking how he could sneak away from the ball. ~Damn! Oyaji's going to have body guards all around too. Hmmmm.....but they'll go away after I'm successfully escorted.....hm........That's it!!! I'll leave after they leave me alone!!!!~
So the prince goes to his closet and takes his training clothes(which were close enough to peasants' clothing), his sword, and a large amount of money so he could last for a while. He snuck out to the carriage that was going to take them there and hid the pack under it.
~Heh. Oyaji I'll show you!~ thought Inuyasha smugly and went to sleep happily for the coming night and ball.
