(Author's Note: Have you ever looked at the story of a thousand furs, and the king's insanity from a different angle? Perhaps the queen died not of sickness, but malice and the insanity had come from a blood lusting ambition of vengeance? This is my take on Kagome's story, and how she discovers her prince in a land torn by wars and mistrust, guided by her wits and the few friends she manages to attain along her journey)
"Mom, Mom, come look! I made a bulls-eye!"
"Slow down Kagome, I can only go so fast sweetheart."
"Yes mother…"
"Lady Kaname, you shouldn't be moving so much in your condition."
"Hush Jinenji, I am still your queen."
"Yes your majesty, I only worry for-"
"Shush – Kagome sweetie wait up!"
A very pregnant lady Kaname waddles after her eldest, and at the moment, only daughter Kagome as she races through the royal gardens, at the blossoming age of her seventeenth summer. Although she has had three winters to recover, her body has not yet fully healed from her last birthing, which ended in stillbirth of a baby boy. Some whispered ominously along the corridors that the queen's next birth would end in more then one death, and others yet spoke even crueler for the lack of a true heir to the Higurashi kingdom. But none ever looked down upon the princess, though she was unusual in her tomboyish ways. Without a male heir to the kingdom, and with so few possibilities for the princess to wed profitably, she was well educated in the ways of the kingdom. Many of the remaining royals scorned the practice of education for the little girl. Yet one race did not scorn this, the demons. But the demons were more hated and feared then any true monster. For they possessed unnatural strength and powers, and looks that could only be described as otherworldly. So in essence, the prejudice of the human people, that the few kingdoms whom would have gladly arranged marriages were scorned before even considered.
