True love's first kiss by irish_Sessy_ghillie_lover@

chapter one: Tir na n'Og

The music was loud that day as the girls in the school trained their hardest to be their best before their very first Oriachteas. They were all so very nervous at the thought of their first huge competitions, but none so much as Kagome Higurashi, for it had been her life's dream to make it this far and then to the Worlds, and then, after all of her long years of pain and tears, she hoped to make it in the auditions for the Lord of the Dance.

" Step in time, girls!" Cried their teacher as they moaned from aching feet, " C'mon! You guys are big girls! Let's go ! Put five years of practice into use! C'mon."

Kagome watched her feet in the great mirrors that lined the walls of the Tir na N'og school of Irish Dance. Although she saw this, she had very little to worry about, for her feet were perfectly turned out, and she balanced herself so very high upon her toes. They danced now the Blackbird and then next the King of the Fairies. This dance was, by far, Kagome's favorite dance, because she adored the race of the Little People. The belife of them helped her through many hard times in her life and so she had much, I dare say, to thank them for.

She sighed in relife as the teacher finally was satisfied and allowed them to rest for a moment or two untill they should move on to soft-shoes. Suddenly she was joined in a throng of screaming girls, all seeming to be giddy with laughter.

" What's up!?" She laughed with the others, unknowing of the very cause of their laughter.

" We get to fly first class to Ireland!!" They all cried in unison, and Kagome beamed with joy at this news, for she had long dreamed of going to Ireland, to see Limerick, the Mountains, the 200 year-old pubs.... and now her dream was coming true.....well.....one of her dreams, at least. " And we're to leave this Thursday!!" The other girls continued as Kagome began to pull away from them. " And we're going to meet World Champion dancers, too!! And we're gonna dance in pubs and meet cute Irish guys, and...." But in Kagome's mind their voices seemed to drain away into nothing, for she was so overcome with the wonderful news.

" Inuyasha had better not screw this up for me." Kagome walked along the streets of Tokyo, her home, as she made he way to the mall. Her legs felt as if they could barely carry her, they ached so much from dancing a few hours ago. She had to buy supplies for her long trip to Ireland, and so she had no time to rest her poor, aching body. She thought of Inuyasha, the dog-demon in Feudal Japan, of shippou and of Miroku, Sango, and of--surprisingly-- Sesshomaru. She didn't know why. Perhaps it was that she despised Inuyasha at the moment, for it seemed that he could not keep himself from seeing that stupid, dead Kikyo. Kagome shuddered at the thought of the horrible woman, and she hung her head. That was why she had come back to her own world ( well, besides her dancing )

because she had found Inuyasha...... kissing Kikyo, as if he truley meant it this time......as if she, Kagome, had no feelings nor say in the matter. She loved Inuyasha, or so she thought, but this was it. She could not bear to see him with that dead bitch. Oh, she would stay with Miroku, and Sango, and Shippo, and, fo course, Inuyasha, but she would not follow him any more when he would wander after the soul catchers. She would try her very hardest to not stare at Inuyasha with the familiar sense of longing for him. She would simply... not love him anymore.

She sighed. She would find someone else to love. She did not know who, but she would find her true love. Her Faerie Prince.

Her knight. Little did she know, though, of what was about to occur in her life that would be far stranger than anything she had wittnessed yet. Oh, indeed, she WOULD love again.
