Chapter 1: Damsel
The lady Kagome Higurashi leaned her head outside of the window of her manor. She sighed. "So boring…. Maybe I'll practice a few shots." What most of the servants on the manor knew that Lady Kagome could truly shoot an arrow. She could also wave a sword quite nicely, while maneuvering a shield and possibly a spear. But her forte was definitely archery. Kagome's mother approved of it as well.
Right now, the young teenager was waiting for her beloved, the prince Inu Yasha. She knew that they were expected to marry. What she did not know was what the day would truly lead to.
After a few hours of waiting in the archery range, she heard a familiar voice. "Nice shot, K'gome." She whirled around, dropped her bow and arrows, and fell into Inu Yasha's arms. Her mother came outside to greet Her Majesty the queen, Inu Yasha's mother.
The mothers giggled. "Ah, young love." Kagome blushed and curtsied awkwardly before the queen, Inu Yasha, and his brother Seshomaru. Their father the king was away on business.
After Inu Yasha bowed back and kissed her hand, Kagome said, "Mother, can we borrow some horses for a ride in the fields?" Her mother, Tsuki, nodded and said, "I will have Yuka prepare your horse Kaji and a horse for the prince. Prince Inu Yasha, would you enjoy the horse you rode upon your last visit?"
Inu Yasha opened his mouth to say that he would prefer his own horse when his mother shot him a look that said, 'Say yes or you'll wish you never came.' "Yes," said Inu Yasha meekly. "I would enjoy that horse."
So the stable girls Yuka and Ayumi prepared the horses. Kagome's lad in waiting, Eri, brought them out. With a curtsy, Eri scurried away. Inu Yasha helped Kagome into the saddle, although she didn't need any help, and then he mounted.
"Enjoy your ride!" called Queen Izayoi . "Yes!" Lady Tsuki agreed. Inu Yasha flattened his ears against his head.
It was a well known fact in the country that Inu Yasha, the prince, was a half demon. The king was a powerful demon named Taisho, and the Queen Izayoi was a beautiful human maiden. The other prince, Seshomaru, his mother who had been a full demoness named Jiyuu. Jiyuu had been a true warrior and died in a battle to protect Taisho. Taisho had remarried Izayoi who had mothered Inu Yasha.
Kagome's brilliant horse, Kaji, was a chestnut stallion. Kaji, meaning fire, was a perfect name for this fiery steed. He and Kagome were a great team. Plus Kaji would not bear any other rider.
Inu Yasha and Kagome rode off into the fields of the Higurashi Manor. Finally they stopped for lunch. "So let me guess… Ramen?" asked Kagome with a grin. Inu Yasha grinned back. "Hell yeah!"
Kagome smiled and opened her lunch basket. "So then… my mother is having a ball tonight," said Kagome, "which is why you're here."
"Yup," sad Inu Yasha, "And I can't wait to see you in that kimono." Kagome blushed a lot. "r-right well… heh… we'll see Miroku. We don't get to see him much because he lives so far away."
"Yeah… shame, isn't it?" asked Inu Yasha. Kagome nodded. She couldn't wait!
"Oooh, Lady Kagome, I'm excited!" giggled Eri.
"Huh? Why?" asked Kagome as Eri brushed her hair.
"All the servants are saying that the prince is going to propose to you tonight!"
"WHAT?" blushed Kagome.
"'tis true, milady," smiled Eri.
"Now announcing… Lord Miroku, the Monk."
"Now announcing… Baroness Tsuki Higurashi… and her daughter, Lady Kagome Higurashi."
Kagome walked down the grand hall stairs as all the guests turned to look at her. She smiled and nodded and curtsied. 'Too bad Inu Yasha and his family get announced last…' she thought.
"Now announcing… Lord Hojo, Captain of the Guard."
'Daaaaaaaaamnit. Dammit to Hell…' Kagome mentally screamed. Now if there was such thing as obvious crushes, it was Hojo.
"Hello, milady," bowed Hojo. "'Ah… greetings, Lord Hojo," Kagome said with a fake smile. Hojo kissed her hand and said, "would you care to dance?" many of the people turned to look. Somehow, the rumor of Hojo and Kagome being in love had spread. A rumor that had surely not been Hojo because he was to dull to spread rumors. A mystery in itself…
"Now announcing the Royal Family. Her majesty Queen Izayoi, His majesty Taishi, Prince Seshomaru, and Prince Inu Yasha."
Kagome whirled around to see Inu Yasha almost running down the stairs. "M-Milady," he panted, out of breah, "will you dance with me?"
"Yes!" exclaimed Kagome. "I'm sorry, Lord Hojo," she apologized as Inu Yasha spun her away. They stopped after one song next to Miroku.
"Miroku!" exclaimed Kagome.
"Hey Inu Yasha, Kagome," smiled Miroku.
"Nice 'ta see you," said Inu Yasha
"Announcing Lord… uh… Naraku and his daughter… Lady Kikyo."
They all looked up at the stairs. These were unfamiliar names. Naraku was a black haired man with an evil demeanor. His daughter Kikyo looked like… an evil version of Kagome!
"Kagome, she looks like you!" exclaimed Inu Yasha. "Yeah, she does," whispered Miroku.
"…"
What the three friends didn't know was that "Lord" Naraku and "Lady" Kikyo were in fact imposters. They had been plotting out of sheer jealousy to do some bad stuff…
The friends soon forgot about the strange guests and resumed dancing. At one point, Inu Yasha left to go to the announcer person who had been introducing guests. Kagome could see him whispering something, but suspected nothing.
The announcer yelled, "Prince Inu Yasha wishes to make an announcement." Everyone quickly hushed and watched as Inu Yasha led Kagome to the middle of the floor.
"Kagome," he said, "you and I have been… together… for about 7 months, right?" Kagome nodded. "Well," he continued, "I kind of want us to be together forever, so…" Inu Yasha knelt in front of Kagome and said,. "Lady Kagome, Daughter of Tsuki Higurashi, I ask for your hand in marriage."
Everyone was incredibly silent as the prince held forward a diamond ring. "I've given you one ring every month, Kagome. But of all of them, I hope this one means the most." Kagome took it, admired it, and silently placed it on her finger.
"Prince Inu Yasha, I accept your proposal. I love you!" exclaimed Kagome. Inu Yasha smiled at her and said, "Then in that case, my announcement is this- Please meet my betrothed, Kagome!" Everyone cheered. Except, of course, for two people. Naraku and Kikyo. They just smirked.
Several hours later, after endless hugs and congratulations, Inu Yasha and Kagome shared a dance. Hojo had walked off sulkily, and was nowhere to be found. Miroku was beaming, as were the royal family and the Higurashi family members.
"So," mumbled Inu Yasha, "when do ya 'wanna get married?" Kagome considered this. "As soon as humanly possible." She declared quietly.
Suddenly, all the lights went out. Kagome stifled a scream and pressed her face into Inu Yasha's strong chest. Ladies were screaming and running, and the guards were shouting orders.
Inu Yasha quietly handed her a dagger. "Just in case, never let go of it. It has my royal crest on it. Use it a proof if anything happens. Kagome nodded, then realizing he couldn't see her, said, "all right."
Evil laughter was heard as the lights dimmed on. "Fools!" shouted an angry male voice. Everyone looked to the source as hundreds of demons swept into the room. "AIEEE!" screamed the maids.
Inu Yasha, King Taisho, and Seshomaru swept into action, slaying dozens of demons. "WIND TUNNEL!" came Miroku's voice.
A hand grabbed Kagome's wrist. Everyone froze as the notorious Naraku held Kagome captive. "Time to disappear…" he murmured as everything went black.
Chapter End.
