Yeah, this craziness came out my mind one day, after watching Shrek 2 and listening to the Fairy Godmother's song…On a side note, I don't own Inuyasha. Or Shrek 2 for that matter.
Chapter 1: A Wave of the Magic Wand
Kagome watched Sesshomaru and Inuyasha fighting again. Don't they ever get tired of this? She had to wonder how they couldn't not be bored with it by now. They're brothers, they shouldn't fight like this all the time. The thought made her strangely sad, and she allowed herself to shed a single tear over their hatred.
"Why are you so sad?" a girl's voice asked from behind her. Kagome turned and saw a young girl of about thirteen. She had pale blue hair and chestnut brown eyes. The girl was wearing a red kimono with black embroidery of raccoons.
"Oh, well, I just think it's so terribly sad that they're fighting because," Kagome began.
"Say no more!" the girl said cheerily. "I can solve your whole problem with just a wave of my magic wand." She reached for what appeared to be the hilt of a sword. The cross guard was made of ivory, elegantly carved to represent angel wings. She pulled out her magic wand, which appeared to be a long rod of ivory with red stripes, making it look much like a candy cane. "Now enter your dream, an endless night. Dear Lord, please let me get this right."
Flashes of red and white engulfed Kagome, blinding her. When the light was gone and she could see once again, she opened her eyes and found herself dressed in an elaborate purple kimono.
"What's going on?" Kagome wondered aloud.
"So glad you asked," the girl's voice said. Kagome turned around and saw the girl sitting on top of a bureau. "We're in your fantasy. Everything'll be just the way you always wanted it," she explained. Then she muttered, "If I did it right."
"What's your name?" Kagome asked.
"Bachiko," she replied. "Now, I've modified everyone else's memories, so only you and your love will know that this is just a fantasy land. The others are characters to add to the dream. Just go along with however they say you're related to them."
With a rather loud bong (as though someone had just rung an enormous gong), she disappeared, leaving red and white bubbles that floated to the ground and popped softly.
The door opened and Rin walked in, dressed in a lavender kimono. "Sister, our parents want to see you," she said to Kagome.
"Oh, alright," Kagome answered, following the little girl. So Rin's my sister. I wonder who my parents are…
When she came across her parents she almost screamed in fright. Miroku and Sango, both dressed in rich plum outfits were sitting side by side and holding hands. Inuyasha sat off to the side, wearing his usual clothes except that they were in shades of violet.
"Kagome, darling, there you are," Sango said.
"This is Prince Inuyasha," Miroku introduced him. "He has just asked for your hand in marriage."
"Marriage?" Kagome shrieked. What is going on here? I thought this was supposed to be a fantasy, not a nightmare.
"Yes, daughter," Miroku said calmly. "Will you accept?"
Inuyasha must be just as freaked out by this as I am. Kagome bit her lip and hesitated. Sango rose and escorted Kagome out into the hall for a private talk.
"Daughter, you must marry him," she said firmly. "He is very wealthy, and has a vast kingdom. It is a wise match."
Alright Kagome, just play along with the story. "I know, mother. I just feel…strange about an arranged marriage to Inuysaha…-sama," she added quickly.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Sango said reassuringly. "Look how much your father and I have come to care for each other. We were an arranged marriage, as you know."
They went back into the room. "I accept the lord's offer," Kagome replied, certain Inuyasha would jump up and protest.
But he never did. He merely smiled a chilling smile of satisfaction.
Kagome sat across from him throughout dinner, and then was dismissed so that Miroku and Inuyasha could discuss the terms of marriage. She didn't get a chance to talk to him alone, which worried her greatly. Why is Inuyasha playing along with this whole thing? Did Bachiko say something to him too?
Kagome found Jaken sitting outside the door to her room. "Ah, milady, there you are," he said. "He is waiting for you inside." With that, Jaken walked off.
But, I just left Inuyasha with Miroku…, she thought with a bit of confusion as she opened the door to her room.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded when she saw Sesshomaru.
"I was hoping you could answer that question," Sesshomaru replied coldly.
"What's going on?" Kagome yelled to the ceiling. "Answer me, Bachiko!"
The gong sounded once again and Bachiko appeared with a bright flash. Red and white feathers floated to the ground around her. She had appeared in the closet, sitting on a shelf as naturally as if it were a chair. "I already told you," she sighed impatiently, her wand dangling from her fingers in sincere danger of being dropped. "You know, you need to pick up the pace. This is boring to watch."
"What type of sennyu are you?" Sesshomaru asked, glaring at Bachiko with enough hatred to pierce through any normal person's soul.
"I'm a Chimera Sennyu," Bachiko answered jovially. "My job is to do anything I can to improve the lives of anyone I can."
"Did you make a wish?" Sesshomaru asked, turning to Kagome.
"What? No," she said.
"According to your laws, Sennyu, you cannot take action unless the person you're trying to help makes a wish," he said to Bachiko.
"Chimera Sennyu don't have to wait for a wish," Bachiko giggled. "Silly puppy, you aren't as smart as you think you are."
Sesshomaru rushed forward with his claws, preparing to kill this annoying child, but she disappeared in front of him with a slight chime.
"What were you trying to do?" Bachiko squealed from her new position, which happened to be standing on the ceiling, disobeying the laws of gravity. "You could have really hurt me, and I'm only a young girl! If you're gonna be so mean, then I'm leaving." With another loud bong, she disappeared, leaving her trademark bubbles again.
"What did you do that for?" Kagome yelled at Sesshomaru.
"Silence, girl!" he hissed.
"Don't you tell me to be quiet!" Kagome shouted. After a short pause she added, "What's a Sennyu?"
"A pixie," he replied. "They go around granting wishes in an attempt to make the world a better place." He paused briefly. "Have you seen Rin?"
"Yeah, she's supposed to be my sister in this fantasy Bachiko made," Kagome answered, not mentioning that Bachiko said it was her fantasy. Is that little girl implying that I like Sesshomaru? It's absolutely ridiculous.
There was a knock on the door. "Daughter, may I enter?" Miroku asked outside in the hall.
Kagome was about to tell him to come in when she realized that having Sesshomaru in her room would look incredibly suspicious. "Quick, you have to hide," Kagome hissed to him. "In the closet!" She practically had to push him into her closet. She had just barely managed to shut the closet door when Miroku opened the door to her room.
"Daughter, there you are," he said, sighting her standing in front of the closet. "Prince Inuyasha will be staying with us for a few days. He wants you to have an opportunity to get to know him."
"Oh, that's great," Kagome said with as much enthusiasm as she could muster.
"I'm so glad you've taken a liking to him," Miroku replied, smiling. "Well, I'll take my leave so you can get your beauty rest. Good night, Kagome."
"Good night, father," she said, giving him a quick smile. The moment the door closed, she opened the closet and let Sesshomaru out.
"Since when is my brother a prince?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Since I made him one," Bachiko replied, appearing in the middle of the room with a loud bong. "You two make such a cute couple, you know that?"
"We are not a couple!" Kagome bellowed.
"You shouldn't shout. The guards'll be here any second, you'd better hide him again," Bachiko giggled, disappearing with her usual bong and bright flash, leaving her bubbles as the only testament to her visit.
Sesshomaru was shoved into the closet, and once again, Kagome managed to shut the door just in the nick of time. The guards flung open the door to her room, Inuyasha leading them.
"Princess Kagome, we heard you shout. What's wrong?" Inuyasha asked.
"I"- Kaogme thought for a brief moment. "I thought I saw a spider over by the window," she said timidly.
