I'm back after along while with a new story. Hopefully this one will be a successful one! *cross fingers* I wanted to write a story about Izayoi and Inutaisho for a while now since they aren't in the story that much. The chapters will be short like this through out the story.

I do not own Inuyasha! ...I wish...

Scroll I: Pleading

I had always dreamt of love as a child. How I would meet that person, how we would first kiss and caress each other dearly. It was all a far off bliss that I wished to grasp one day.

But just the kami teasing my mind.

For I am a princess...sad but true.

Love...love does not exist in my life. And learning of the duties of a royal line have have made we wake from my romantic trace of warmth. For now my life does not hold full joy from what it once was. Why can't the world stay innocent forever?

My dreams crushed...a wish I gave up and let rot. Along with myself. Though I must stay proud and strong for my heart, my soul. I must grant myself with as mush happiness as I can muster.

For I am a princess...sad but true.

~~~o~~~

A woman writes in a scroll, her head bowing down in loneliness. For only her feelings can be brought forth to this world in writing. Her emotions on the edge and bursting to be set free...

Someone unlock me from this cage; from this darkness that I have been swallowed in.

Her brown orbs glisten of spoken tears as she endures more. Tear specks paint the scroll in dull colors smearing a symbol or two of her own destiny. A fate she has now been tied to. For she is to be wed and wed she will be. To a prince and none other...a man fitting to become an emperor. A man she does not cherish as a spouse but as a childhood friend.

...I do not picture him as such of a husband. I love him as a dear friend and a brother no less and yet I am forced to marry him, to bed with him. It seems he does not go against it. My dear Takemaru, I do not hold the feelings you seek. And for that I will not be able to bare looking at you. To hurt you friend. Please find it in your heart to realize that...for my sake I hope.

Her delicate strokes halt as she pits her brush on the floor. Her hands lay on her knees as she blankly stares at her emotions on the paper. Writing so sad it was beautiful because it came from her no less. Yes, she is a beauty. A wonderful one at that, her looks her stance proves she was born to be of such royalty. A princess that will support her line and her people strongly.

Her layered kimono weighing down on her she forces her self up and properly walks to the porch that always viewed the lush garden and sakura trees. Clothing dragging along with her from such length her sleeves swallow her hands. The breeze plays with her split bangs as she looks out. Her eyes shimmering and what happiness she has as she sees the greenery. Therefore, this lady holds a faint smile on her features. Her sight goes as far as can see until the she stops a wall far out on the other side of the many buildings and gardens of luxury. The wall is what diminishes her lovely façade to a now sorrowful glare.

Pleading, wishing it was gone. Those walls are what kept her in and trapped. Along with the guards and her father she had nowhere to go. She had never set foot out in that vast world that held outside that gate. To her she felt a new beginning.

Adventure stroke her at which held determination. She may never get out of this hellish hole of a palace but she vows to one day set her own course.

Just for a little while. Please kami before my life, my final hopes of dreams, end let me for once cherish something before I take my leave. I can move on with whatever you have fated me to do but please give this one chance to be free.

Someone unlock me from this cage...
