Porcelain Angel



By Hereiko Nakashima





Sessoumaru glared down at Inu Yasha as slapped him across the cheek. Kagome gave out a faint gasp as Inu Yasha rolled to the ground.



"You.."



She put a hand on his arm and looked up at Sessoumaru fearfully. He stared down at her with cold benidicton as he snapped, "Disgusting. That should teach you to run out on us."



Inu Yasha winced as he touched the bright red mark on his face. He had forgotten what day it was.. He knew Sessoumaru was angry.. Very angry.



He briefly remembered a moment in his childhood the last time Sessoumaru had gotten this angry. He closed his golden eyes as he replayed that day's events.





*Flashback*





Eight-year-old Inu Yasha is running around in the castle while his servants chase after him. He laughed as he sent a vase down, one at a time.



Suddenly he knocks down a portrait of a woman, sending it crashing into little pieces.



"You!"



Inu Yasha turns around and sees Sessoumaru. Inu Yasha laughs and runs over to hug him, trampling all over the portrait.



Suddenly, Sesoumaru grabs Inu Yasha and sends him flying across the room, crashing into the servant.



"Get away from me"





*end of flashback*





Inu Yasha closed his eyes as he rested his head against Kagome's shoulder. He never did forgive me, he thought to himself sadly.



Since that day, communication between the two stopped. Where there had once been sibling love, was replaced by loathing and hatred. I'm sorry..





~*~





Kagome's blue eyes grew wide with fear as she realized who that person was. Tha-that's the first born prince of the empire.. ! the empress's son!, she thought franticly as fear threaded through her senses.



Disheveled now, her hair stream around her, like a black cape. Dirt smeared her frightened face as her hair fell past her face. She looked like a peasant, a child, still unknowing of the world.



Her frightened blue eyes darted to the boy as she thought, What could he have possibly done to anger him? Who is he.?



Inu Yasha glared at Sessoumaru as he picked himself up. His eyes met Sessoumaru's defiantly as he muttered,"Forgive me Elder Brother I-"



"Silence."



Inu Yasha bowed down his head as glared down at the ground in defeat.



Sessoumaru's cold golden eyes traveled over to Kagome as a cold smile quirked on his lips.



"I see. So this was the reason, eh?"



Kagome looked over at Inu Yasha, puzzled as she whispered, "What is he talking about?"





Inu Yasha shoved her aside as he stepped out infront of her protectively. "Leave her out of this, Elder Brother. She is but a friend I met today."



Sessoumaru threw back his braid as he snapped, "Who ever she is, she is still coming with me."





He laughed maliciously at Inu Yasha's horrified expression.



"No, not that way. I am not father. Beside, if she is a friend of yours, then we all must meet her, and by that I mean all of us, especially father."



He smiled as he stepped onto his carridge.



"I will see you two later."



Kagome looked around herself nervously as she mentally sweatdropped. A heavily armed palace guard on each side and a sword pressed against my throat.. Hm. I'm guessing that this is not the right time to slip.





~*~





"Hey! Not so rough! Watch the leg," Kagome yelled as she was carted into the carridge.



Inu Yasha rolled his eyes as he settled next to a hysterical Kagome. "They won't listen to you, you know. They only take orders from Sessoumaru. And when they do, it is usually for their own personal benefit. Believe me, I would know."



Kagome lowered her eyes as she muttered, "I know that."



Inu Yasha put his hands behind his back as he said, "So why did you do that?"



Kagome glared up at him as she said between clenched teeth, "Well, come to think of it, this is your fault. Come to think of it, I don't even know your name."



Inu Yasha turned around looked out the window. "Look, this is a family thing. I know you have a lot of questions for me now, but look. I'll answer them all later. Hey are you even listening?"



Kagome looked over to Inu Yasha as she said, "Hey, we've stopped." (Inu Yasha proceeds to fall down anime style).



The door flap was flung open as the guard stuck his head in and shouted, "Out you go.."



Inu Yasha jumped down and held out his hand to help Kagome. She stepped down nervously as she timidly scanned her surroundings.



All around her golden roofed palaces surrounded her as she could see elegantly garbed courtesans walking around and whispering. For a while she had no idea what they were whispering about, but after she looked down at herself, she saw the reason.



Duh, I'm wearing guy clothes, she thought to herself. Oh boy, I'm the friend of an apparently escaped convict and I'm lucky enough to go to the Imperial Palace in this getup. Oh boy, this just keeps on getting better and better. Man, I'm just glad my mother isn't here.



"Hey how did we-"





She looked around for the boy but he was nowhere to be found.



"Um. where did he go?"



"Excuse me."



She whipped around and saw a richly garbed young woman with several servants standing behind her.



Good God, there must be tens and hundreds of them, she thought to herself nervously. Man, am I in some kind of trouble or something?



"Y-yes?" she stuttered nervously.



The woman bowed as she said, her head lowered respectfully, "Please come with us."





~*~







Kagome nervously looked in to the mirror.



The person who stared back at her was not a total stranger. Her hand gently touched her face nervously, almost as if she was afraid to break it.





Now dressed in and ivory white robes lined with pink stitchings, and both a pink skirt and tunic, she looked more like a princess, then the tomboy that she was.





Her face cleaned and powdered as pale as the moon, her eyes as dark almonds now shone with an unknown light.





Is this really me? , she thought to herself. As she reached her hand out and touched the mirror, as if not really believing it was really there.



The person staring back at me. is she really me?



She turned around when she heard a rough voice behind her.



"Miss Kagome, the emperor is ready to receive you in his court."





Ack! Another cliffhanger! And this time it really was accidental. Anyways, please r/r!



PS I know this is getting really old, but I would really like it if some one r/r Angel Reborn. I haven't been getting many reviews for that. ^^;;



PPS If you want me to r/r any of your fics, just tell me, and I will. ^^
