YOU'RE my Prince Charming? by nekoblondie

Setting the Story

Hi! I hope you like Sesshomaru and Kagome because guess what, I DO!!! And they are the stars of this particular fan fic.

So without further adieu, I present Chapter 1 of "YOU'RE my Prince Charming!!!!"

In another dimension that is very different than our own lives many people whom, unlike us, have managed to find some happy endings. This is a land of Fairy Tales and happy endings are abundant, though not guaranteed. It is possible for the incompetence of some to hinder the happiness of others and it is also possible to cross a villain with a brain. Not all of the stories end happily. You just have to deal with what you get. In these particular stories lies a princess who isn't to happy with her life in a tower and another princess who (secretly) just wants a happy ending of her own.

Princess Kagome has always been atypical. She criticizes girls like Cinderella and Snow White. She especially gives Sleeping Beauty a hard time considering that that is the story she is doomed to be cursed with. Only, she met the wicked fairy when she was three years old and invited her to play "tea-time" with her and her dollies. The wicked fairy was also an apprentice who had been sent to practice her cursing skills. She messed it up because she tried to think ahead. She cursed Kagome to prick her finger on a spinning wheel at sixteen but not to die. (Why bother when some goodie two-shoes fairy is gonna do it anyways?) And there's another twist. This is why people just stick to the stories. They don't want messes like this happening. Not only does Kagome have to do all that and be locked in a tower, but because she was so nice to the evil fairy apprentice, she is going to be AWAKE the whole time. Yeah, the fairy took pity on her and decided that she should be awake instead of sleeping. Joy. How she wishes she was like her friend Sango!

Princess Sango has always been Kagome's best friend. Just a bit more normal, (internally that is.) People see her as such a tomboy but all she truly wants is a happy ending. She would give anything to have a curse like Kagome but unfortunately nothing has happened to her. At this point in time her only choice is to kiss a "frog Prince" or get kidnapped by a dragon. There is the slight possibility of pissing off a fairy or sorceress but they are so hard to find. Yes, hers is a pitiable case indeed. That is the reason she is a tomboy. She knows that Fairy Tale Princesses always get there true love. Other princesses just get married off to the highest bidder. If she were tough it might not hurt as much if that happened.

Princes are another story. All princes are trained their entire lives about how to rescue a princess in any given situation. They are also taught to be kind, courteous, and all around Charming. They can't be undesirable in any way otherwise they won't "get the girl". This is imperative. The parents of princes find that raising a "Prince Charming" is easier than bribing princess's parents to offer their daughters. When they fall in love is the best way because then they don't have to pay anything. As you can imagine, there are many satisfied princesses out there due to this arrangement. None of them get stuck with jerks, and the guys who don't rescue a princess usually have enough charm in them to make an arranged marriage a nice one.

Perfect right? Almost. There are families like the Inu family out there. The Inu clan consists of Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Inutaisho, and his wife Izaoi. Inutaisho never trained his children in the personality department because he has always felt that real personality is better than forced personality. He was never trained to be the stereotypical "Charming". Of course it all worked out for him because his wife never did like the Prissy, Preppy, Stiff, and all-around Uniform type guys. She liked him for him and he wanted his sons to find girls like that. Unfortunately, his sons are as far from "Charming" as it's possible for princes to be.

His oldest, Sesshomaru, is as cold as they come. When he goes to rescue a princess, he rescues her alright. He defeats whatever challenges are in his way and when it gets to the part where they fall madly in love he (mentally) finds something wrong with her and brutally crushes her hopes by telling her that he's here to take her back home, and not to meet the in-laws.

Inuyasha, on the other hand, is usually the one that princesses find something wrong with. He's brash, rude, arrogant, and acts much like a child. More often than not the princesses rescued by these two run off with another prince or even one of their guards.

Then there are princes like Miroku whom happen to grope evil sorceresses and get turned in frogs. No wait, that's just Miroku. Lucky him!

There you are. Fairy Tales have never been this complicated.

(Just so you guys know, I have another fic on fanfiction.net so I will have to split my time between them.)

So what do you think? I want at least 15 reviews saying it's not a piece of crap. Seriously, how long does it take to type, "Your story is not a piece of crap." It didn't even take me a whole minute. The only reason I'm requiring reviews is because I want a valid reason to split my attention between two blooming stories. I don't want angry readers coming at me with plastic pitchforks and electronic torches (they don't make real ones anymore. I checked the 'angry mob supply store' already) because I'm not updating fast enough on one because I'm working on another.

Besides, I'm sure some of you have gotten in trouble for talking to much or expressing one too many opinions to the wrong person. I'm not the wrong person! Express as many opinions as you want and type novel-long messages if you want. You won't get in trouble I promise.
