Mother, May I?

Synopsis: For fairy tale heroines, going into a random cottage in the woods somehow ends in happily ever after. For Kagome, it ended in her becoming a slave and plaything to a vicious albeit beautiful demoness.

Chapter 1: Question

"Miko."

Kagome started at the sound. Her Lady-Mother, as she was bid to call her, spoke so rarely, and never directly to her; not since the day she stumbled across the cottage, thought to take refuge within, and found herself at the demoness' mercy. So, she stuttered, "L-lady-mother?" The tray trembled in her hands, ceramic teacups rattling.

A shark-like grin touched her painted lips. She gestured toward the chair opposite hers with a manicured claw. "Sit." Sheobeyed. "Tell me, what brought you here?"

Paused. Considered the question. "It's…complicated. Long and complicated."

A nod. "…you should make haste then, hm?"

Prompt- Complications
