Chapter 1

5 years later

It had been five years since the birth of Princess Kagome and lots had happened since then. Over those years Kagome's mother had died from a sickness. The King was so upset by this. He tried everything to keep her living but it was no use. There was no way to stop her from dying. And the last thing she ever said to her husband and daughter was "Take care of each other," so since then the King has kept a very close eye out for his only child.

But also the princess was very upset with her mother's death. She never liked to talk about it or talk about her mother in front of anyone. She always kept to herself about her mother and also when needed gave a few fake smiles to some people when she was feeling very low. She was so good at faking it that no one could tell it was a fake smile; they all thought it was real.

Princess Kagome could be found in the gardens playing around with her servants. She seemed to be hiding behind a few trees so no one could find her. The servants where looking everywhere for the young princess and they where calling out "Princess Kagome where are you? Your father won't like this. Come out now." The young Kagome was giggling to herself and staying put. She never got to go and have so much fun. Heck she had no friends at all. She didn't have any because she never got to leave the castle into the village without an escort. It was her father's rules and she hated it so much. She heard the servants starting to walk away and back down the other path of the garden.

After she heard them leave she came out and went and sat on a bench. She started to laugh really loudly and said, "Fools they couldn't find me. Serves them right for not taking me to town." She just sat down on the bench and looked up into the sky. She was really bored and wished she had some friends; the only friend she ever knew was... "Princess Kagome, over here." She had got interrupted by a voice. She looked over to see who it was and she muttered, "Oh no not Hojo." She really didn't like him.

He was a prince to the east and it seemed he liked to come and visit ever summer and hang out with her. Not only did he like to hang out with her, but she had found out from one of the servants that he had a crush on her. When she found this out she tried to avoid him but no matter what she did or tired to do she could not avoid him. He was right in front of her now and she just gave him one of those fake smiles. She stood up and gave a little bow, saying "Hello Prince Hojo, how are you?"

Hojo smiled back at her and took her hand "I am doing well but no need for you to call me prince. Just Hojo will be fine."

Hojo had taken her hand and kissed it. She kept that fake smile on and nodded her head. "Well if you say so Hojo. And I suppose you can just call me Kagome." She took her hand back after he had kissed it. She didn't like when he did that but she did not show that.

He saw her take her hand back and he spoke up once again "Well Kagome I came out here for a reason. You see your father wishes for you to go back inside now, so he sent me to escort you back."

She sighed when he said that and she nods her head "Fine if my father wishes me back, I'm coming." She had started to walk back down the garden path and Hojo was by her side and he slipped his arm through hers, she tired not to show that she didn't like what he was doing so she kept her fake smile on.

Kagome was lying down in her bed. She had just gotten to her room an hour ago after talking with her father; the talk with her father did not go to well. He was telling her not to run off anymore from the servants and stick with them at all times. She sighed when she remembered that meeting. She got up from her bed and went out onto her balcony. She looked over at the city that was showing it was dark but a few lights where still lit out there.

She kept staring and said to herself, "This stinks. I can't go out without an escort. My father is too overprotective of me." She looked up into the sky and tears came to her eyes. "Why mother? Why did you have to die? I miss you a lot," she had started to cry a lot and went and lay on her bed. She stopped crying after a while and thought "That's it. I hate being here. I want to get out just for tonight." She got up from her bed and went through her clothes she found a nice blue cloak and she wrapped it around her tiny little body. It covered her whole 6 year old body up. She left her room and was sneaking around the castle she found a passage way and went through it. She knew this would lead to the garden and so she followed it.

She made it outside into the garden and looked around before heading into town. She knew it was not busy at night but she just wanted one night away from the castle so she kept walking through the town looking at everything she could see. But the one thing she didn't know was someone was watching her from the shadows.

She decided to take a break and sat on a bench near a fountain, out of nowhere someone grabbed her arm and she screamed from who ever it was pulling her. The person who grabbed her was a bandit. "Well look what we have here a little girl all by herself." The guys that were with him started to laugh.

Kagome looked up at them and saw that they where really ugly "Hey let me go I promise my father with have your heads if you don't."

They look at her and start to laugh the leader speaks up "Do you really think your father will find you, after all we are planning on killing you."

After she heard that she starts to scream. "Help someone help me," the leader had hit her against a wall. "Shut up you stupid little girl."

The bandit was about to hit her one more time and she closed her eyes but something got in the way and tackled the bandit to the ground. She didn't feel the hit so she opened her eyes and saw all the bandits on the ground grunting in pain. She looked over to the shadows and saw a little boy. It looked like to her all she saw were his eyes that were golden and his hair, his long sliver hair before she had fainted.

Kagome had just opened her eyes and when she did she saw she was back in the castle and was in her room. There was a nurse and saw her wake. "I see you are awake, young princess. Well I will be back. Your father wanted to know when you would be up." She left the room to get the King. She looked around the room wondering how she got back here and was thinking of that boy she saw in town.

Before she could figure it out her father came into the room and looked at her with worry in his eyes, but also anger. He went over to her and hugged his little girl. "Daughter, are you ok?"

She had hugged him back and she nodded her head. "Yes father I'm ok," he gave her one more hug and pulled away.

"Good I'm glad, but I'm not glad of what you did. That was stupid and dangerous to do and I'm sorry Kagome but you are grounded." He started to walk to the door and turned back to her. "Get some rest," and he left the room.

She saw him leave and she sighed. She knew she would be grounded but she didn't know she would be caught either. She had closed her eyes again when the nurse came back and she was thinking of how she had gotten back and was also wondering who it that saved her. Those thoughts kept going through her mind but right then she had drifted to sleep dreaming of those golden eyes and sliver hair she saw on that little boy.
