A/N Okay, let me explain myself before a million people jump down my throat...

A) I've been extremely bogged down with school. I've decided to take an extra class this year, which gives me even more homework and studing to worry about.

B) Money is extremely tight, so I've been helping out around the house a lot lately.

C) I wasn't able to even look at any of my writings in about... Oh... Four months...

D) My grandfather has been diagnosed with skin cancer.

E) All of my friends birthdays fall around this time of year, so I was busy with that.

F) I was in the middle of a writer's block.

...Yeah...

I've decided tochange the plot too.

That's the reason why You've got a brand new prologue.

I wrote this about.. Oh... Let's say, five months ago. I didn't put this up because was being evil, and blah, blah, blah.

A note to all of those that will tell me to update I'M A WHAT! : Please, do not tell me to. If I've got barey enough time to just upload this, do you think I can edit that whole story?

Disclaimer/Claimer: I do not own Inuyasha (owned by Rumiko Takashi) or the song "Goodnight" (owned by Evanescence). But, if you dare to steal my story line or idea, I will hypnotize William's evil mutant female bunnies in heat to come after you. Then, I will send the evil mutant female bunnies in heat's original leader after you, who is the Boogie Man, and he will stuff you into a discoball, making sure to grind your bones so much that they turn to a powder. So, be warned... And, don't think I'm joking. Because I'm not.

Goodnight

Prologue

Goodnight, sleep tight
No more tears
Goodnight morning, I'll be here
And when we say goodnight,
Dry your eyes
Because we said goodnight,
And now goodbye
We said goodnight
And now goodbye

Music echoed through the room. The light, harmonious sound brought peace to anyone who cared to listen to it. The room itself was extremely large, it was a ballroom.

Decorated with rich cream and golden hues, the room itself had an aura of calmness, and an elegance ambiance. Many people danced inside of the large room. What one would and should find odd about this was the fact that some were youkai, others hanyou, but there were even humans thrown into the mix. All three races were celebrating together, such a thing was unheard of.

Amoung the many, two seemed to stand out the most, one a girl of human heritage, the other a boy, he was a hanyou, both glowed in young love.

The girl had long raven hair, crystal blue eyes, and a smile to stop the world. With a perfect figure, her name was Kagome Higurashi and she was only seventeen years old. The boy also had long hair, even though it was silver and put into a low ponytail, he had golden eyes with a certain spark to them, and was also smiling. He only smiled around the girl, Kagome. His name was Inuyasha Magika and was eighteen.

The both danced to the euphonic music being played, seemly truly happy.

"No worries?" Inuyasha whispered in her ear, causing her to jump in surprise.

A smile graced her face, and she nodded, "No worries"

"Good."

Everything was supposed to finally work out for them, it was all supposed to fall into place.

It was

But, boys were still after Kagome's hand in marriage.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. Those boys were a bunch of idiots, not only was Kagome's and his marriage arranged when they were barely able to say the alphabet, but it was only a couple of weeks away.

"Speaking of the bastards..."

A boy with short, dirty blonde hair stood at the corner of the room. Hojo, who was stared longingly at Kagome, was his name. Inuyasha didn't like it. He bared his fangs at the boy, effectively scaring him away.

"Pathetic."

Having enough of dancing Inuyasha pulled Kagome out towards the balcony.

Kagome stood at the edge of the balcony, the railing as her support. Inuyasha stood behind her with each hand on either side of her.

Kagome had her eyes closed, enjoying the breeze, pretending to fly.

"Hey, Kagome?" Inuyasha asked her softly, snapping her out of the daydream.

He pointed to a star in the dark sky, "See that one?"

"I can't tell which one you're pointing at."

"Right next to the moon, up to the right, it's the brightest one," he described it for her.

"Yeah, I see it," she smiled. "It's really pretty."

"Remember a few years back, when you told me about how stars are connected to souls?"

She nodded her head, a smile on her face.

"I picked that one out for us," he told her.

The smile on her face grew wider, "You picked out the most beautiful one in the sky, you know."

"Believe me, there's a reason for that..."

She laughed, "I bet so."

He smiled. "You can only see it for a couple of months a year too, and it's very difficult to keep track of too."

"So, it's a rare beauty," Kagome commented.

"Exactly."

Kagome slipped out of her ballroom dress, and put on a much more simple one, she quickly pulled off her jewelry and took off her makeup with a rag. Quickly standing up, she walked through her bedroom door and out into the hallway.

Inuyasha stood there, "Ready?"

"Yeah," she said nodding and smiling all at once.

He quickly grabbed her hand and ran through the hallway towards the back door of the home. Now outside, Inuyasha crouched down, "Come on."

Kagome crawled onto his back and put her arms around his neck, after that Inuyasha leapt into the air, running faster than anything Kagome had ever seen. They headed into the forest.

After five minutes of nothing but running, they had come to a lake. No one was around for miles. Kagome slid off of Inuyasha, and looked around at her surroundings.

It was truly beautiful, there were trees all around giving the place a mystic glow, colorful flowers were tucked in between all of the other plants, the moon's glow gave the area an enchanting feeling.

Inuyasha walked up to the lake's shore, sitting down, he patted the ground next to him, motioning for Kagome to sit down also.

Kagome lightly dipped her toes into the shallow water in front of her while she sat down.

"This place is beautiful..." she told him breathlessly.

"Isn't it?" he asked her back.

She played with the sand beneath her fingertips, "...What will happen after we get... Married?"

Silence fell upon the couple.

He thought about it for a moment, "I don't know."

Both stared at the dark sky, silence overcame the two once again.

Kagome wrinkled her nose in annoyance, "When we get married, are we going to have it the traditional way?"

"What do you mean?" Inuyasha asked.

She shook her head, "I don't like the usual vows."

Inuyasha looked at her, "Why?"

"I never understood why that they always say, 'until death do us part,' I always found that, well, odd..." Kagome trailed off.

"I'm sure that we can take that out if you want," he told her.

She smiled wistfully, "Do you think 'death will do us part?'"

Inuyasha looked at her in the eyes, "Nothing will do us part... Not even hell or heaven... Much less death..."

Kagome smiled at him, she laughed, "Promise?"

He nodded his head and smiled at her, "I promise."

One Month Later

Inuyasha Magika's Body Found
Two days ago, Inuyasha Magika's body was found. It appeared that he had hung himself. Police say that it was his last resort to get away with the murder of his fiancé, Kagome Higurashi; Magika was the only suspect of the murder. Trial was set for November 28, but will not happen, it is unsure when there will be a trial to determine the murderer.

Lord Magika laid the newspaper down. He shook his head as tears threatened to spill.

It never should have ended this way.

A/NBack to semi-happiness

Something to Notice: the newspaper article.

I decided to go in another direction than what I was originally planning, so my outline of the story was changed that way too. Because I'm still in the middle of re-writing the plot out (I never even finished writing it out to begin with actually), this will force me to take more time to update. Sorry! If I have made any spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, or anything of the sort, please tell me. I want to be able to write in proper English!

A side note to that, some of my spelling and grammatical "mistakes" might have been intended... Hoo knows, perhaps it's a clue about the story...
