Chapter 1: Princess? Me?
100 years later…
Kagome's view
"Kagome!" I heard someone cry out my name, but I didn't respond I already knew who it was…
"Kagome!", "Where are you!", "Kagome!", "Answer me dammit!"
I heard him stop the search for me and I knew he went to go fetch my "father"…I waited a few minutes later when…
"Kagome. Come." It was short, blunt, but it was an order
I hopped off my perch; I landed and ran downstairs
There sure were a lot of stairs in this place! Thank god we're moving!
I got annoyed when I got to the 78th floor, "There are 90 floors in this thing, the most modern appliances and alarms, and no one bothered to have an elevator or escalator built in it!"
I looked around and then I looked down…the building was a shape of a cylinder, the stairs go around in circles, so there was a hole in middle where you could see everything below you.
I walked to the railing and looked down; I saw all the 77 floors I had to go. I closed my eyes and focused on my hearing…no humans were outside…I can make it…plus, if one of them spots me, it's so fun to mess with them! I laughed as I looked down some more…
I smiled and jumped over the railing…I love the feeling of free falling…I looked at the numbers as I went down…I saw a little girl come out on the 20th floor and I reached a hand out to the railing.
I caught it and I hung there for a few seconds, then I jumped up. And I sat on the railing facing the little girl. She had brown hair, with silver in various places. Her eyes were gold brown and she had a light blue crescent on her forehead…that was smudged, since she obviously painted it on herself…
"Well, hello there." I said to the little girl who was currently licking a lolli-pop
She smiled and waved her little clawed hand at me; I chuckled and waved back…
"Can you tell me your name?"
She looked at the door, from where she came from and then looked back at me, "My dad says I shouldn't talk to strangers, especially to bad people."
"Huh, very good advice too, so why are you talking to me then"
"Because you're not a bad person."
I looked at her astonished, "And how do you know that?"
"Because, you would have hurt me already if you were and you're too pretty to be bad."
I smiled at her innocence, "Can you keep a secret?"
She nodded her head eager for the secret, I chuckled, and I told her my secret, "I'm a vampire."
"No you're not. You're lying."
"Why would I lie to you?"
"I don't know, but you're not a vampire."
"And why not?"
"Vampires are ugly not pretty like you."
"Mm… why thank you my dear, but no matter how pretty I look, I am a vampire."
"Pinky swear" and she stuck out her little pinky, I looped my pinky with hers
"Pinky swear"
She gasped, "Really? Cross your heart, stick a needle in your eye!"
"Cross my heart and stick a needle in my eye."
"Cool"
"So what's your name?"
"My name is Rin; I'm named after my mommy, so we have the same name, what's yours?"
"Kagome"
"That's a pretty name"
"Why thank you, yours is pretty as well."
"Rin! Rin, where are you!"
Rin looked back at her apartment and a frown graced her face. She looked at me, and I knew she wanted me to take her anywhere
"I'm sorry Rin, but I can't, I'm not even supposed to be talking to you."
Rin sighed and nodded, "Ok…will you come back?"
I looked up and gave it a thought, "To tell you the truth…I really don't know."
She nodded again, but then lifted her head and she had a happy twinkle to her eye, "Can you wait here for a second?"
I looked down, over the railing, I knew he was getting impatient, "I…well…"
She gave me her best puppy-eyes and I cracked, "Alright, but quick my…uh…father is calling me"
She nodded and ran into her apartment, a few seconds later she came out carrying a small teddy bear, "It's my favorite bear, and I want you to have it. You know so you can remember me. I've heard that vampires get very lonely…well, that's what mommy says…"
I took the bear and smiled, "Thank you, you know, you're really smart and brave for your age, but remember no matter how people look they maybe bad even if they are pretty. I'll never forget you"
"And I really will never forget you!"
I laughed, because I knew she wouldn't forget, she encrypted my image into her brain
"Rin! Rin! Come inside!" Rin turned to look at the apartment again, and I took that chance to go back to free falling, I tipped myself over the railing, relishing that moment with one of the most innocent living things on the earth…children
I hugged the bear to my chest as I smiled and waved to Rin as she looked over the railing, she waved to me frantically and I closed my eyes, enjoying the free fall.
When I got to the 4th floor I flipped myself so I could land on my feet.
I finally landed and right in front of my father…

Normal View
"Hello, father" Naraku stood and he looked pretty much the same he did when he made Kagome a vampire except he looked to be in his late 20s rather then in his early 20s.
"Kagome, you must stop mingling with the mortals, you know it's the law"
"Yes I know, it was just a child, no one would believe her anyway, now are you going to give me the same lecture about humans which I have already memorized, or are you going to tell me, why you have called me?" Kagome didn't mention that she was demon, well she was a hanyou, so it half counted…right…
"Fine, follow me."
Kagome followed him into their dark apartment, which was the basement of the building, but not anymore, since Naraku is loaded with money that he had collected over the centuries.
He led Kagome through the dark hallways and through the rooms, until they got to his study.
He sat down behind his chair, and Kagome helped herself to her red loveseat
"Kagome, well, you know that I consider you my daughter and by vampire laws, you are my daughter legally, so…"
"Yes, Naraku I know, and I agreed, just tell me straight out what is it that you want?"
My father looked at me hard and serious, I sat up taking this seriously now, "Now, you know that our vampire king has died"
"Yes, as I recall, he was taking a vacation from the palace and then the house he was in, one of the windows broke and the sunlight poured in and he was burned."
"Exactly, and the queen committed suicide as you know."
"Yes, she stepped out to the daylight, and burned herself three days after the king died."
"Yes, now there is no one to rule, for the king and queen didn't pronounce a daughter or son. The vampire council has decided to vote for our next ruler."
"And what does this have to do with me?" She asked puzzled
Naraku sighed, "How would you like to be Princess of the Vampires?"
Kagome stood up immediately, "WHAT! PRINCESS! ME!"
"No need to scream Kagome"
"I told you she would react this way." Said a voice from the corner
Kagome turned around to see a handsome young man, looking about her age. He was tall, tanned skin, his long black hair was tied in a pony tail, and he had piercing blue eyes.
"You knew about this Kouga!" She exclaimed
"Well…yeah…hey! Don't come any closer, I just found out today too!"
Kagome stopped advancing on her sparring partner and went back to her father, "Naraku, I can't be princess! I have no idea how to rule a kingdom!"
"Kagome, calm down please, nothing will change at all, I will be king, and I will be the one who will have to rule over a kingdom, the only thing that changes for you is that you'll be given the title Princess of the Vampires or for short Vampress…plus…you'd be able to break some minor laws…and you'll be given new stronger powers…"
She turned her head interested, "Go on…"
"You're strength, speed, and senses will be heightened. Your power to hover will be heightened…you'll be able to fly Kagome…just think about it! And you can mingle with humans a bit more." Kagome raised her head at that, and Naraku quickly added, "Children and young humans of course."
"Oh, of course" Kagome said looking down again
"But…the restrictions on your outings will be loosened"
"How so?"
"Let's just say, that they will be loosened enough, so that you'll be able to attend night school."
"Really! I can stay out all night!"
"And be back before dawn of course, but yes, you will be able to be out all night without me sending Kouga after you."
Kagome snickered and looked at Kouga, he rolled his eyes
"Don't tease Kouga, for he will also get the same advantages that you are getting, the powers, the outings, and everything. So, Kagome, do you agree?"
Kagome thought over her options again and then stood up, "Alright, I'll be the next Vampress."

"Rin, your mother has been looking all over for you!" said a silver haired boy coming out from the apartment to see his niece looking over the railing.
"What you looking at Rin?" asked the handsome boy
"A falling angel…" answered Rin
"What?" the boy looked over the railing and saw a girl walk into the first apartment of the first floor.
"Uncle Inu, can you keep a secret?" said Rin, tugging at her uncle's shirt
"Sure kid, what's the secret?"
"You have to pinky promise, cross your heart, and stick a needle in your eyes of you ever tell!" she cried
"Whoa! It's that serious, alright, pinky promise, cross my heart, and stick a needle in my heart, I'll even throw in a boys scouts honor."
"I know daddy told me not to talk to strangers, but she looked lonely. The lady who was here, she was really a vampire! And I gave hr my favorite teddy, the one you gave me! She said she would never forget me and I know I will never forget her, but…I was wondering…can we visit her, I know she lives on the first floor in that apartment…please!"
Uncle Inu smirked, "She was a vampire…must have been ugly then huh?"
"No way! She was really pretty!"
"Well, we'll see if you want to see her that badly I'll think about it, now go inside, your mother's waiting for you."
"Ok" as Rin walked to her apartment, her uncle looked over the railing
"Hey, Uncle Inuyasha"
He turned around to his niece, "Huh, yeah?"
"She was really lonely, she tried to cover it up, but I know she was lonely. I want to take that away…that's why I want to see her again…maybe you can help…think really hard ok?"
Inuyasha looked at her surprised, he knew his niece could sometimes act older than her age, but this one takes the cake, "Alright"
Then Rin skipped happily in her apartment to her calling mother.
Inuyasha looked over the railing once more, "Yeah…I'll think about it…"
