Outside of the castle, the storm continued to rage. Kagome peered out the window at the darkened sky and let out a frustrated sigh. They’d been stuck inside for days and while initially it had been a very time-occupying task straightening up the castle, the thrill had quickly worn off. She wanted nothing more than to go for a walk around the lawn.
She was suddenly struck by a thought; why couldn’t she take a walk in the rain? There was no one here to stop her. She threw open the castle door and dashed out into the downpour, the dog hot on her heels. Delighted, she threw her arms wide, reveling in the sensation of the grass between her toes and the cool water running over her body and she ran.
It had been nearly twelve years since the last time she had played in the rain. She had been scolded so fiercely for tracking water into the palace that it had been thoroughly engrained in her six-year-old mind that playing in rainstorms was not something that a princess should do.
The longer she stayed with the dog, the less she cared about trying to be a proper princess.
