Part One: The Beginning of the Tale

-

(A/N yes I no sum1 has done a fic like this, I haven't read it though but I've been on a beauty and the beast kick lately.)

Kagome was fifteen-year-old girl who didn't have very much, only her grandfather, older sister, Kikyo, and her two younger siblings, Souta and Rin.

Kagome's family used to be rich, but after her mother died things started to run downhill, Grandfather lost his job as a merchant, and then because of having no money no one wanted to marry her elder sister, Kikyo.

Kikyo was two years older than Kagome was. Though she was pretty, people didn't think she was as pretty as Kagome was. Kikyo was though full of greed and wanted nothing but riches. 'The good life' as she would usually say. Kikyo would always criticize her sister because all she ever wanted to do was read.

Souta, her younger brother was twelve years old. The only boy that her mother bore. Souta got along really well, with Kagome. He would help her out with anything if she needed it. Souta often sold eggs, just so the family could get some money.

Rin was the youngest of the family, although she loved all her siblings equally, she could be a brat at times. Rin was only three when mother died, but that was two years ago. Rin often liked to play outside where it was nice and bright, she had always liked bright colors, it made her happy.

It was nighttime and Kagome had to read inside in the poorly made hut that was outside of the village. It was such a chilly night so she stayed close to the fire. Her old blue kimono was getting dirty but she didn't care, she was too interested in her book.

"Is that all you ever do?" snorted her sister Kikyo.

Kagome looked up at her sister, "At least I can read."

Kikyo put a pale hand to her chest, "Now why would I need to read. I'm too beautiful."

Kagome just shook her head at her foolish sister and just went on reading.

Grandfather walked into the hut and cleared his throat. Everybody's attention averted to him. "I've got some news."

"What is it, Grampy?" asked Rin, tugging on his blue pant leg.

Grandfather patted her head, "I've got a merchant job, tomorrow I leave for another village, and I won't be back for a couple of days."

"does this mean we will be rich again!" Asked Kikyo excitedly.

"Possibly,"

"Will we be able to get me a new toy, Grampy?" asked the little Rin.

"Sure, little one." Grandfather said with a wrinkly smile.

"Yay," Squealed Rin. Kagome smiled softly, happy for her little sister's happiness.

Kagome patted her Grandfather's arm, "If you're happy, I am happy, Grandfather."

"I am."

Next Morning

Grandfather was all packed up and ready to go. Kagome bowed down to him, "Please be careful, Grandfather. Make good choices."

"Don't worry about me, Kagome. I'm an old man."

Kagome smiled at her Grandfather.

Kikyo walked over to Grandfather, "Could you get me a beautiful gold kimono, Grandfather?"

"I'll try my best." He said.

"Don't forget about my toy!" pouted Rin.

"I won't," said Grandfather tenderly, "Anything you would like Souta?"

Souta though for a moment, "If you can, a hammer."

Grandfather nodded, and looked over to Kagome, "Kagome dear, what do you want?"

Kagome shook her head. "I don't need anything Grandfather."

"Oh, Kagome just pick something!" Grandfather told her.

She thought for a moment, all eyes were on her, "If you ever come upon a rose, please bring it back for me." Kagome knew very well it was very hard to get a rose, it was from the main land, and was not naturally from here, only some of the richest of people had them.

Grandfather smile tenderly at his second grandchild, "I'll try my very best."

Kikyo gave a nasty look to her sister. "Humph!" and she stalked back off into the hut.

"May fortune and luck be with you." Kagome bowed.

"Arigatou." And grandfather left.

In a Castle

Harsh golden eyes watched the 'outside world'. He hated every one bit about it. His furry silver ear tweaked at the sound of his 'maid'. "What is it Sango?" he growled.

The maid, 'Sango' bowed. "Yajuu, would you like anything to eat?" (A/N Yajuu beast)

"No,"

"As you wish Yajuu." Sango left the room, leaving her master in peace.

The Yajuu stared at his hideous claws, he looked at them with such disgust, he tucked them into his haori sleeve.
