Prologue
Waters splashed into the air as a young maid enjoyed her afternoon under the sun. She
kicked her feet into the cool waters and sighed. It was such a warm summer day, who could resist
the temptation of cool, clean water? She unclothed the little girl she was carrying and placed her
in some shallow water and then for herself, she dived into the deeper end for a dip. So immersed
in her activity, she failed to notice when her two year old charge crawled away.
The little girl placed one hand before the other and crawled into the dark foliage a few
yards away. As minutes passed, the irritation of the gold chain around her little neck, sticking to
her skin, ticked her off. She grabbed the sapphire fox charm and tugged. It wouldn't budge, so
she decided to ignore it for the time being.
After taking many twists and turns, her blue eyes lit up at the sight of a flower patch. She
happily crawled into the patch, and grabbed a fistful of daisies. She giggled in happiness as she
grabbed handfuls after handfuls. "Kagome, what did you do with your clothes?" scolded a middle
aged woman, as she picked up the little girl.
The little girl blinked at the stranger and smiled. "Come on, dinner's ready. Can you say,
'Mommy'?" cooed the elderly woman. The little girl giggled in response and stuffed her thumb
into her mouth. "Let's go Kagome." smiled the woman, hugging the little girl. "Your father's
tummy is probably begging for food."

The young maid searched in distress for her young charge after noticing her absence.
Though a tad bit late. "Milord and milady are going to be angry if I can't find princess Kikyou."
murmured the maid. "Why couldn't I have inherited my demon powers now?" moaned the maid,
when she spotted her charge. At least, she thought it was her charge.
"Lady Kikyou!" gasped the maid. "How did you get those clothes?" as she looked down
at the clothes she was carrying. "Their peasant's clothes too. We better get you changed before
you see your mother for the first time." The little girl looked up at her with dull brown eyes and
began to cry.
*Pause for Explanation*
Kagome: Princess and of royal blood. (The one with blue eyes and charm). She was originally
named Kikyou by her real parents. But now that a peasant has mistaken her for her daughter, she
is renamed Kagome.
Kikyou: Daughter of the peasant. (The one with brown eyes). She was originally named Kagome
by her real parents, but now that she is mistaken for a princess, she is named Kikyou.
So, basically, they switched places. Kagome is taking Kikyou's status as a peasnat and Kikyou is
taking Kagome's status as princess....confusing, isn't it? If there is any questions, you can contact
me at sakura_youko@hotmail.com or AIM me. My screen name is Densetsuno Youko. I'll be on,
on Saturday 20 from 12:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. ^_^)

"Where's my child?" asked the excited kitsune youkai. The maid presented the crying
little girl to her lady. "My little Kikyou!" cried the lady in happiness.
"Be careful, your going to squeeze her to death." admonished a male kitsune.
"How can I not? Who came up with the stupid rule of not letting a mother see her child
for two years after birth?" demanded the lady.
"Aya, you know those are the rules of us black kitsunes." sighed the youkai lord. "In
addition to the fact our child will look and smell human until her eighteenth birthday."
"Akira, it just isn't fair!" snarled Aya. "Why us? Why not the other types of kitsunes?
They don't have these stupid curses or rules!"
"You may leave." ordered Akira, ignoring his mate's whining, before the maid bowed
and left. "I'm going to contact the Eastern Lord. Maybe we can engage our little princess to his
son. I heard he's quite charming, even at such a young age. He'll be perfect for our daughter!
What was his name again...?"
"Youko." supplied Aya, rolling her eyes. "I can tell your memory hasn't improved over
the years." Akira shook his head as his mate took their child towards the garden.

"She seems so cheerful today." murmured the middle aged woman. "I should record this
day as the firs time Kagome Higurashi looked so happy." she laughed.
"It would seem so, Mira." agreed her husband. "And what is that charm around her neck?
It's so expensive!"
"Charm? Huh, where did she get that?" asked Mira, spotting the fox charm. She gently
unclasped the charm and stared at it. "I don't know, Kokei, I didn't buy it."
"I'm not sure what's going on, but let's put this away in a safe place." suggested Kokei,
taking the charm from his wife.
"Kagome, where did you get that?" murmured Mira. Silence was her answer.
