Cinderella Dance Drama

Hi,

This is a story made for the SessKag Prompt raffle. This is a mindless story which does not take itself seriously and is a true clusterfuck of all random cliches. Please laugh to your fill and enjoy.

Made for the prompt: Dance, by KyuubiPandoraChan.

Thank you so much KyuubiPandoraChan for this opportunity!

Rated for obscene profanity and brainless bs.

Kagome’s eyes widened and kept on widening- even when the pain in her head increased from the unusual stretching of her eyelids. Her head pounded, her mouth hanging agape; she just could not wrap her brain around the unscientific phenomenon in front of her eyes.

A blue transparent dialogue box hung, suspended mid-air, words scribbled in glaring white and piercing blue.

[Welcome to the game, Cinderella dance drama]

[Player should be ready in few minutes…waiting for successful binding…binding in 3…2…1…]

[Binding has been successful!]

[Congratulation player, you have successfully unlocked the novice role: Evil Step-mother-]

[Wishing you a pleasant gaming experience!]

And, before Kagome could even provide a peep of her worldly knowledge in sewer-swear-flowery language, she had already been restrained in a tight-fitting head -to-toe European makeover. Her body hurt, her head hurt and even her toes hurt. Kagome tried cursing, evil dressing gowns, evil-complicated-hairstyle and bloody toe-curling, tight-fitting, stilettos.

Some may ask, ‘Why is Kagome rather not alarmed about her current state-of-affairs?’-well, to such people, Kagome would gladly point her middle finger and declare loudly, ‘I have been subjected to worse unscientific bullshit in my life.’

Have you ever heard of someone who could suddenly jump time through her family well?  Someone whose incarnation walks the same plane as her (with a part of her soul) and plays back-and-forth-love-you-hate-you with her boyfriend? After these unscientific and absolutely ridiculous state-of-affairs, Kagome had stopped questioning her magical fate and started taking everything with a pinch-of-salt.

Kagome settled in her new role rather quickly. After she finished cursing her evil-makeover for the nth time, she decided to go out and survey her surroundings.

Knock…knock…knock…

Three heavy knocks fell on her door, making Kagome almost trip on her feet. Her feet hurt awfully and she cursed once again.

“Mother, cinderella has once again spilled all the water on the floor.” Came a rather familiar voice and Kagome almost did not want to leave her room, her headache increasing in magnitude.

“Ugh…” She tried speaking but then realized that she did not know the opposite party’s name. She licked her lips and continued, “You come in first and let…” Kagome’s teeth gritted, “let mother know of her affairs.”

Sure enough, the next second, the door blasted open in a burst of wind, a rather grown woman in blood-red and black adorned gown twirled into the room and into Kagome’s arms. Kagome stiffened not knowing what to make of the situation. Before Kagome could utter her next words, the person in her arms gasped and broke down crying.

[Player novice pack unlocked, unlimited twirls]

[Player has to keep dancing during the entire drama]

Kagome stiffened as a barrage of unclear messages floated in front of her in that villainous dialogue box.

[Time for the first twirl…in…3…2…]

Before the countdown could end, Kagome took the woman in her arms and twirled around in an exaggerated way.

Kagura was perfectly in sync as she continued twirling around the room, speaking in an aggravated tone.

“Momma, Kagura has been wronged. Cinderella spilled all the dirty water on the floor and then tripped Kagura into the water.” The grown-baby-Kagura, sniffled and rubbed her wet clothes into Kagome’s already tight clothes and made them even more suffocating. Kagome was at such a loss that she did not know what to address first.

Almost reflexively, she pushed Kagura off her body and stared at her head-to-toe. Can someone please explain to her why was Kagura her daughter, why, just why? Kagome had never wanted to shout more but the next moment, her views about life turned completely upside down.

Another voice resounded in her door, followed by another figure twirling into her arms, “Mom, Cinderella has wronged this Kikyo as well. Kikyo should not have offered Cinderella help in cleaning up the water.” Like a frightened and wronged squirrel, the all-white and red wearing Kikyo, removed her gown and showed Kagome some red welts on her fair legs and sniffling with all her might, cried loudly, “But, that wretch actually clawed my fair legs. Kikyo wants justice mother!”

The entire scenario would have been horrific if not punctuated with the swishes of their skirts as the three occupants of the room continued to twirl with a flourish, like ballerinas. Kagome felt sick and her head pounded, her stomach somersaulted. But she for the love of God could not stop twirling. A barrage of censored expressions appeared in her heart.

The mother-of-these-two-grown-babies, Kagome stared dumbly (or as much she could while twirling and her head spinning) at her two crying daughters and could only repeatedly close and open her mouth. Kagome’s brain was malfunctioning at this moment. Kagura and Kikyo were her daughters. What…what? Why was it necessary to continuously twirl? Her day was getting more bizarre with the seconds.

Kagome stumbled back to her bed weakly, holding her head dramatically. She smiled weakly and somehow replied in a weak tone, “Don’t worry, mom will seek justice.” She pretended to feel faint and was about to raise her hand to shoo them away in an elaborate hand movement when the dialogue box appeared once again.

[OOC warning, OOC warning, please stay in your domineering character, player. Otherwise, as a penalty, five shards of Shikon would be removed.]

Almost like a whiplash, Kagome stood wooden straight, started twirling in reflex and with a high-pitched-shrew-like voice shouted, “How dare that unfilial daughter does such a thing. That bitch should be taught a lesson. Lead the way Kikyo and Kagura.”

Instantly, the two crying bitches stopped sniffling a smiled widely, their evil grins matched so much that she feared they matched Naraku perfectly. Kagome’s mouth must have been running a bad case of Kikyo-retribution-karma today because as soon as she had finished comparing the smiles (evil grins), the main door of the residency banged open and a masculine voice spoke.

“Kagome, where are you my beautiful love, my flower queen, the mother of my daughters, the light of my life, the tender part of my heart.”

Kagome almost flew down the stairs (and did not forget to add a twirl to her step) like a jet rocket, not believing her eyes.

Naraku…is my husband?

Several creepy sensations crawled down her hand as Naraku enveloped her in a rather crushing hug, his head pressed deeply in her hair, smelling her like a hound. Almost instantly they started twirling once again, spinning through the huge hallway, like dance partners.

Kagome wanted to cry.

“Love, how have you been? Have the daughters kept you busy? I am sorry my darling, my job has kept us apart for far too long.”

Kagome heaved a relieved sigh in her heart,

Praise this job.

Kagome tried to push the overbearing starlet villain away from her bosom when the dialogue box appeared once again.

[OOC warning, OOC warning, please retain your soft-like-the-dew, temperament in front of your husband. Otherwise, as a penalty, 3 jewel shards would be removed.]

Kagome gritted her teeth and almost wanted to challenge this penalty. But she rather not play with fire. 

Kagome very reluctantly pressed back and returned the hug, wanting to crush Naraku to death, but alas, it looked like even her strength had been downplayed into the soft-like-dew-character. She took the initiative and broke this twirling movement, opting to dance in a suave manner, like they were in a ballroom.

Kagome realized the penalty never sounded again, this meant that she could continue this game with any form of dancing; twirling was not a necessity.

She looked deeply into her husband’s red eyes (trying to hold back her gagging motion) and said, “Hus…husband, you have been very tired after the journey. Why not rest for a while!”

Naraku took Kagome’s dainty fingers in his hand and spun her around neatly, “Wife, the time your husband returns, should be spent in cultivating our feelings and not in rest.”

Saying this, he pulled Kagome tightly into his body, moving suavely, their hips gyrating and moving with each step.

Kagome wanted to shout, what is this erotic dance?

Ewww…is that his donger…

Like a wilted flower, Kagome pushed her husband away and in a dramatic rendition of a whatever-this-is tap dance, she moved back.

Kagome rearranged herself in a dramatic my-life-is-nothing-without-you tango pose and said in a well-drawn out tone, “Husband, the wife is so tired, the girls kept me busy… especially Cinderella. She is such a hard child to raise.”

The veil step-mom should never forget to blacken Cinderella. 

This two-job juggling feeling made Kagome’s inside twist. She had to maintain her character settings and keep on dancing throughout this game. This was simply asking for her early death.

This inopportune moment was disturbed by a well-placed knock on the main door knocker. Naraku swayed his body with an unknown rhythm and moved towards the door. Within minutes, he was out of the house rushing towards an arranged carriage and bidding her goodbye.

[The goodbye dance should be performed.]

Kagome was utterly shocked, what was this dance? Almost immediately her body moved on its own, doing complicated twists and turns, her belly moving like Shakira, her ass moving like a 'ghetto booty' and her boobs jiggling erotically. Naraku looked back from the inside of the carriage, his breath hitching and his hips gyrating constantly until the carriage left. 

Kagome did not want to think of what had happened afterwards. She just needed a bathroom to empty her stomach. Swaying slowly, she closed the main door and entered the house. She spared a tired glance at those continuously twirling daughters of her and bypassed them, swaying all the way to her room. She fell on the bed and went to sleep; hoping for the first time in her life that this misfortune was a dream.

****

A scene change occurred as soon as Kagome reopened her eyes.

[Dancing should be resumed]

Kagome received the game reminder and just like an angry cat hissed loudly. This game was truly testing her patience. Kagome started to do the same sway-as-lightly-as possible walk and checked her surrounding. The next part of the game had begun. She was inside a shabby room. It smelt of dust and mold from every corner. Kagome wrinkled her nose in disgust. She tried to discern the sorry figure in the corner, the darkness was too enveloping and Kagome felt pity for the huddled figure; she knew this was Cinderella.

Kagome had always sympathized with Cinderella. That small girl, her mother dead, her father negligent and always abused by her step-mother. Kagome had always wanted to beat the step-mother with a stick, but now her own situation was not funny at all. She tried to sway towards the figure and envelope her in a hug when the nefarious game mechanism reopened.

[OOC warning, OOC warning; you are supposed to stay in your evil-step-mother role. The character should be abusive.]

Kagome withdrew her hand like she was scalded and stared hard at the blurry face of the Cinderella. The breath caught in her lungs when her eyes adjusted to the dark and she recognized the face. Cinderella turned to look at her step-mother and almost immediately a shiny ray of pure unadulterated sunlight hit Kagome eyes. What is this? Female lead shiny aura? To shiny! Kagome's eyes burned.

Sango-chan? Sango was Cinderella? How was she supposed to torture this sister of hers?

Kagome was involuntarily reminded of a conversation with Rin, back in the feudal era.

“Well, maybe the evil mother was trying to help Cinderella grow up. Maybe she was being harsh so that the child grew up strong. Just like what Sesshomaru-sama does. He is harsh with Inuyasha-sama and always abuses him. This helps him grow up strong.”

Rin had giggled then, her eyes believing this sort of logic and Kagome did not have the heart to refuse her. Kagome had wanted to correct Rin saying that abuse and tough love were different things, but had stopped in the face of Rin’s bright smile.

This incident somehow struck close to Kagome’s heart now. She truly wanted to change this abusive mother-daughter story into a tough-love one. But she had to do so without going OOC. She wondered how such things could be arranged.

[The dancing prompt had been removed for the time being because of the main character halo and would be activated in absence of the main character]

Kagome jolted in surprise. What was this ridiculous game? When in presence of the main character, the cannon fodders did not have to continue dancing? Was this so that the main character’s dance was not overshadowed by side character performances? Whatever this was, it was good. This gave her time to rest and think. Ever since that time, Kagome had started to view Cinderella as a holy mother and decided to stick close to this main character.

Kagome’s plan to change the story through a tough-love-route plan begun. She tried her best to stay in character, verbally abuse Cinderella and yet teach her to do the proper work of a lady.

For example, when she threw a sewing kit at Cinderella and shouted in a high-pitched domineering voice, “You bastard, staying all day long in the house and wasting money, sew these garments properly. It is better for you to learn some work.”

Or when she threw the drawing a merchant had sent and launched a verbal attack towards Cinderella, “How do I look so bad in this drawing? Redraw this painting and make me look good.”

Things like these, small things.

Cinderella was shocked by this changed mother of hers. What happened all of a sudden, why was mother behaving so…differently? For once, she never physically abused her anymore and all the servant’s work she used to do had been replaced with a lady’s job. But, mother still continued to verbally abuse her. Still, Cinderella thought, she loved this kind of a mother and wanted to stick close to her.

The game warning of OOC never sounded again and Kagome was happy. Apparently, the game mechanism could be fooled just by verbal abuse and she had changed the storyline into a successful tough-love story. But, did this Cinderella have to continue with this perfect-to-a-T-ballet dance? Kagome truly had to stay away from all idol related things after she returned back to the real world.

Life continued and the scene changed. Within seconds, the door of Cinderella's room had been banged open and two dastardly looking daughters appeared in the doorway.

“Cinderella, you shrew, how dare you rob mother from us?”

“Today we shall go to the ball and one of us shall marry the prince!”

Their nefarious laughter filled the room as they exited with a swish of their fans and their skirts, twirling out of Cinderella’s line of vision and into their mother’s bedroom.

“Mother we are ready and shall depart!”

Kagome was rearranging her cosmetics when the twirling sisters entered her humble abode and made her itch to draw an arrow in their hearts. Kagome twirled automatically and replied in an over-excited voice, “Yes…finally my daughters can end up as the future queen…hahhhhaaahhhaa…” Cue the classic villain’s laughter.

The evil, twirling sister’s eyes glistened in happiness and they each took Kagome’s one arm, the three of them twirling on one foot, creating small whirlwinds in the small room.

Tock…tock...tock…tock…

Their carriage had arrived and Kagome all but threw the two twirling masses into the carriage. Cutting a pitiful figure of herself in front of the similarly twirling coachman (how is this dude spinning on his seat) Kagome cried, “Ah, I might be a bit late. Leave ahead.”

[Player has fifty minutes to arrive at the ball before it starts.]

Kagome sighed in relief. At the very least she did not have to look at those dastardly faces for now. She returned to her room exhausted. Some of her lines had yet to be said and moreover, she could walk normally in absence of other characters. This was another thing in this game. You can stop dancing only when in presence of main characters and when you were alone. Kagome believed, these were arranged to give a small rest to the players.

She walked to Cinderella’s room and gave her an affectionate one-over, of course when she was not looking. Kagome’s face stiffened into her I-will-burn-you-in-five-stages-of-hell expression as soon as Cinderella faced her way.

“Cinderella, you are to stay in this room today and not cause any trouble.”

The ever-spinning-ballerina Cinderella made a set of smooth steps and pouted, “Mother, please allow me to visit this ball.”

Kagome’s face was still in her previous mode as she answered, “No. You are supposed to stay here, confined. Do not take away my daughter’s chance.” Like an afterthought, she added, “Moreover, who would take a maid with them to the ball?” (Almost forgot those lines)

With a flair, Kagome left the room.

With a sigh, Kagome pitied this abused Cinderella and said in her heart,’ I did all I could my sister, rest is up to you.’

The scene changed almost immediately and Kagome was finally at the ball.

*****

The towering chandelier, those massive halls and that spiral staircase. What a sight all of this would have made only if the people in the entire hall were not twirling on their axis. Kagome wanted to cry again. Why had such a beautiful ambience turned into something this scary? Kagome swore never to dance again in her life.

“The prince is here. All bow”

Came a booming voice from the top of the staircase. Almost instantly, Kagome was curious, who was this prince? Miroku perhaps?

Just like a perfect smack to her face, two faces emerged from the top of the grand staircase. Silver hair, gold-eyes, magenta stripes, blue-crescent moon and a model worthy body fitted in a form-fitting European suit. No doubt, this was the male lead. The prince of Cinderella’s heart and cue the blinding golden light, searing Kagome's retina with its intensity. 

What the fuck, Sesshomaru?

Kagome almost cried out if she had not noticed the second face, Silver-hair, twitching dog-ears on top of the head and a cocky I-own-the-universe smirk. This was…was…

Inuyasha?

The entire hall stopped spinning and Sesshomaru began his I-am-the-best-at-ballet worthy performance, a refined sword dance, as he descended the stairs. And then,

“OSUWARI”

Kagome shouted in reflex as soon as she saw Inuyasha’s cocky smirk. Almost instantly, the second prince fell with a muffled ‘mph’ and took the first prince along with him as they tumbled down the stairs, their head almost cracking open from the pain of collision with those unending spiral stairs.

Kagome morbidly stared at the two sorry figures and a fleeting thought entered her head, ‘Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!’

Kagome suppressed the unladylike guffaw that was wanting to burst forth from her stomach. She had officially lost it. Lost it!

A scene change had occurred right then and Kagome could not believe her eyes. The next scene was a couple’s dance between Cinderella and the first prince. Kagome realized, after she spoke a select few words with some high-end ladies, Sesshomaru was the first prince and Inuyasha the half-brother, the second prince.

The door of the hall banged open and in came twirling in her perfect ballerina moves, the crème of the crop, Cinderella.

Cinderella twirled all her way into the ballroom and sprang into Kagome’s arms shouting, “Mother!” Rubbing herself on her arms like a happy puppy. Kagome was gobsmacked by her favourite sister’s beauty. She truly rivalled Cinderella’s grace and for the first time since Kagome had entered the game, she could look at Cinderella without pity. But, Kagome had to stay in character so she harshly threw her away and stepped back with a bitch-I-dare-you-to-pull-that-move again face.

“My lady, let’s dance!”

With such clipped words, the dance between the leading pair began. Kagome was so surprised that she could not utter a single word. Though she was truly happy that she did not have to dance since the leads were here, she still would have appreciated more words from the stiff-faced Prince. Sesshomaru was truly himself, whether in a fairytale or in Sengoku-Jidai.

The main pair’s dance was so perfect that Kagome was almost moved to tears. She somehow felt that she was looking up at a heaven’s perfect match couple coming to fruition, or your OTP ending up together. Was it wrong of her to ship Sango-chan with Sesshomaru? Yes, maybe, yes. Miroku-sama would be unhappy. But Kagome was unashamed to declare that she had paired Sesshomaru with each and every woman of feudal Japan and of her own world in her little world of imagination. And SessSan was her OTP.

But, say, why was Sesshomaru staring at her straight with such heat in his eyes? Kagome shook her head, she must be hallucinating, too much dance…too much dance…

Kagome for the fact was not just hallucinating, because Sesshomaru or rather, Prince Sesshomaru was indeed looking at Kagome with heated eyes. His thoughts were stuck on a mini-player, ‘Must fuck mother-in-law. Mother-in-law looks the most delicious.’

If Kagome would have known of such intents, she would have flipped this horrible game and beat the son-of-a-bitch Prince Sesshomaru blue and black with her pointy Stilettos.

Suddenly a barrage of arrows was released on the dancing pair, who looked unconcerned and continued dancing, dodging the arrows with precise reflexes. Kagome was absolutely horrified. How has this game of a laid-back fairytale suddenly changed into this ambush-action game?

 All the past horror weighing on her mind, Kagome suddenly shouted a hoarse scream as one of Cinderella’s perfect looking glass sandals flew out of the dance stage and landed in front of Kagome. But, that was not the true horror. The true horror was the bloody ankle that was attached to the said shoe and the crystal clear game dialogue box dancing in front of Kagome’s quivering eyes.

[Cinderella is dead. You failed in saving Cinderella and would be returned to the previous save point. Please work hard in clearing the game.]

****

Kagome was truly returned to the past where she stood in front of Cinderella’s room, shaking all over. Cinderella, no Sango-chan had died? No matter how much Kagome wanted to console herself, she just could not keep up with the fact that Sango had died. She repeated in her mind, ‘Just a game…just a game… You will see Sango-chan as soon as you go back.’ But nothing could stop her shaking.

Kagome would have been lost to her horror if the dialogue box had not appeared again.  

[Player you have fifty minutes before the ball begins]

Kagome was exasperated, she could not hold onto her anger anymore and since the first time she had entered the game, she truly shouted.

“Fuck your game! Fuck! Your! Game! I am not playing this piece of shit anymore! Let me out! Let me out!”

Kagome was crying profusely, her head pounding and her stomach rolling from the horror she had witnessed. This was not a fun game anymore, people were dying for God’s sake!

[Please confirm your choice to end the game: Yes/No]

Kagome bared her teeth at the dialogue box, her hand furiously pressing on the ‘Yes’ option.

[As per penalty, a jewel shard would be removed]

Soon, Kagome felt real horror catching up to her. It really disappeared, one jewel shard truly just vanished from existence. Kagome’s back was wet with cold sweat, a chill ran through her spine. It was all true. She was in hell!

“No, no, please. Return the shard. I would play. I would play” She panted furiously. She understood the true value of this game now, she just could not fuck up anymore.

[Player has forty minutes before the ball begins]

Kagome bit back all the curses that were about to pull forth from her mouth. Straightening her back, she twisted the knob.

[Key item acquired: Cinderella’s shoe. Accept: Yes/No]

Kagome frowned. She had acquired a shoe? When did she acquire it? Utterly confused, Kagome pressed the ‘Yes’ option.

Immediately she heard a jingling sound and the glass slipper, dripping with fresh blood dropped in front of her feet. Kagome was once again pale-faced as she hesitated to pick up the shoe.

Trying to hold in her queasy stomach, she picked up the bloody show, blood dripping and staining the carpet under her feet.

[New skill acquired: Detective Step-mom. Accept: Yes/No]

Kagome had absolutely given up on these weird skills by now. So she pressed the ‘Yes’ without any hesitation.

But then, she hesitated, she hesitated till her insides turned green. Before she knew, the surroundings turned dark and she fell unconscious on the soft-and-hard-to-attain-luxury carpet.

[Player has entered a dreamscape]

Kagome had sometimes heard about the feeling of an out-of-body experience, but, this was the first time she had experienced it in theory. The surroundings blurred and combined around her and then she was suspended mid-air, in a scenario where no one could see or hear her while she could see and hear everything happening around her.

This, Kagome knew, this was the over-used and over-abused trope in a detective series, where the detective was transported to the time of the crime. Kagome felt omnipotent, she felt great, she could finally play the wannabe detective game. She was finally a detective, capable of viewing the crime scene by her sheer intelligence.

The crime started. This was the scene from her first game trial.

This was the ballroom and there were the pair of perfect ballerina leads, swaying and twirling in their perfect ballroom dance moves. Then, something happened. The lights clashed against a sharp point of a huge sword. HUGE SWORD!!! This sword Kagome identified at first glance. The bigger-than-life, the ginormous, the egoistical of all ego-shooting swords, the daddy of all massive sizes, the sword that would make their wielder trip and break their nose, the Tessaiga!

Yes, the Tessaiga. The fanatic ruffian worth bearing the sword, Tessaiga. And, the true ruffian, the barbaric male of all alpha males, Inuyasha was holding his daddy sword, daddy's sword in his hand and with a sweep of it, the wind picked up and crashed against Cinderella’s feet adorned in her glass slippers. Thus, the feet fell off and landed in front of a stiff faced Kagome once again.

WTF!!! Inuyasha killed Cinderella?

[Player has exited the dreamscape]

Just like that, Kagome was back. She took a few moments to collect herself and then like nothing had happened she twisted the doorknob and entered Cinderella’s room.

“Cinderella, you should not leave this room today!” Kagome sneered and began her Oscar-worthy performance once again.

Cinderella gasped and repeated her lines. Kagome repeated her share of lines and then the whole exchange was done. Kagome turned around to leave and suddenly, an item glowed in the corner of her eyes. She paused and picked said item up, a bracelet made of teeth?

[Player has acquired key item]

[Player has unlocked hidden storyline: The boy and the maiden of the past. Accept: Yes/No]

Kagome rolled her eyes and pressed on the damned ‘Yes’ button.

Swoosh

And Kagome fainted once again.

[Player has entered a story dreamscape]

“Prince Inuyasha, King Inutaisho has asked you to return to the palace!” A stiff voice proclaimed as they tried to pick the small Inuyasha by his clothes and dump him inside of a nearby carriage.

Kagome once again floated like a ghost.

In front of her, there was an open field. The field was flowery and smelled nauseous. The perfume was of such a high content that Kagome sneezed from such excessive fragrance. On the field sat a small Inuyasha, his face twisted in his resting bitch expression and opposite to him sat an overly dressed (stuffed) small version of herself. She realized this was the past story of Prince Inuyasha and Cinderella’s Step-mom.

Wait, what, you wanted to tell her that Inuyasha and this past version of the evil-mom were related?

“Inu-tan. Take this!” The small Kagome dangled a bracelet made of bloody teeth in front of the small highness-Inuyasha.

Inuyasha’s smile broadened as he all but snatched the bracelet from Kagome’s hand.

Inu-tan? A Bracelet made of teeth?

Kagome wanted to hurl. What was this shameful act? What was this ‘Inu-tan’? Kagome tried to stop her impulse of jumping at this little version and strangling her even before she grew up into her evil future self.

“This is the teeth that fell today morning.” The little Kagome exclaimed. Then she opened her small mouth and showed her row of teeth to Inuyasha from which two were missing.

“So this is your marriage gift? Fine, then this a promise!” Inuyasha grinned and dashed away, jumped into the waiting carriage and left.

“Ahhh… no wait! I have already promised your big-brother my hand in marriage!” Little Kagome shouted quickly, but, the clearing was devoid of Inuyasha as he had left far too quickly and had completely missed little Kagome’s answer.

[Player has exited dreamscape and completed the hidden plotline!]

Kagome gaped as she looked at her familiar surrounding, but, her mind was stuck on the information she had received. She had already promised marriage to Sesshomaru? What the hell is this development?

Suddenly, Kagome wanted to act faint and skip the ball. She could not wrap her mind around this new set of information. No wonder, Sesshomaru was staring at her with such heat in his eyes.

Wait a sec… But now, I am destined to be his mom-in-law, would he care about the marriage agreement?

Kagome tried to remain optimistic and after a whole lot debating, finally reached the ball, for the second time. Kagome should have known even before the entire thing started, she had a great talent of jinxing herself.

*****

Kagome would never forget this supremely grotesque scene, not after she had been subjected to it twice in a row. She twirled in the ballroom as the entire hall filled with people continued twirling with their partners. This scene was like a nightmare-no, a trauma. Now, dance was a trauma for Kagome. Dancephobia!

The dancing stopped as the princes’ arrival was announced. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief. This time she hid in the crowd. She did not want to do an ‘OSUWARI’ or get those princes’ attention. Not after she had viewed her shameful past of paddling two boats.

But, life was never easy for Kagome. Kagome was a joke to life, a joke that was over-abused and still continuously milked till there was nothing left worth joking. It was not funny at all.

A hard body pressed in her back, a muscular arm circled her waist and a warm breath teased her ear-hole.

“Duchess Cannibal, this Sesshomaru is overjoyed you could visit!”

What Cannibal? Who is a cannibal? You are a cannibal! Your whole family is a cannibal! Wait, Duchess? Duchess Cannibal? Was this the last name of Naraku- Cannibal? Oh, the rightness of it all, Kagome was left speechless-no comments!

“Yes!”

Kagome squeaked. This was too much, the hardness pressing on her ass was too much and the ear-raping breathing was too much. Why was this horny son of a bitch so aroused? Just by touching her? Kagome jumped like a cat being stepped on its tail.

“This pendant, does duchess remember?” Sesshomaru dangled a crescent-shaped, pure white pendant in front of her eyes. The magenta gem stuck inside of the pendant reflected the light from the hall and momentarily blinded Kagome. Stupified, Kagome held the pendant in her hand.

[Player has acquired a key item]

[A hidden storyline has been triggered, the past of the frivolous maiden and the tsundere prince. Accept: Yes/No]

Kagome cursed the last generation of the game-developer in her heart and pressed the ‘Yes’ button with a desire to draw blood.

She promptly fainted.

[Player has entered the storyline dreamscape]

The story of yet another past fragment was really sad. It was a long story hence Kagome decided to take some pain in relieving the important details,

*Mini Theatre*

Once upon a time, lived an orphan girl, lonely, abandoned under a shed, but happiness exuded from every fibre of her body. Her name was Kagome. Then a duke of a nearby kingdom came across her in passing.

“What a sweet girl. So beautiful. You will be my daughter from today!” Said the kind duke as he adopted the dirty looking child into his humble home.

There lived an older sister, beautiful like the moon, her hair silky like the night sky and lips red like blood - her name was Izayoi. This sister treated Kagome like her own younger blood sister. There was also a big brother. Head full of brown luscious hair and face adorned in an arrogant smile – his name was Kouga.

Kouga treated Kagome harshly but secretly was in love with her. A love that could not be, would not be fulfilled by his parents. Thus, he distanced himself from her, pushing her away at each instance.

But, Kagome had happy days. Until her sister ended up pregnant with the child of the reigning King of their neighbouring kingdom, Inutaisho. Finding no other way out, from the generosity of his heart, the King married Izayoi and after five months of intense labour, she gave birth to a son, Inuyasha. Inuyasha was Kagome’s little nephew and was only four years apart in age. Izayoi returned to the duke’s place due to the palace’s internal struggle and raised Inuyasha at her father’s place.

Along came the King’s older son, from his first wife. The older prince was named Sesshomaru. A withdrawn youth. Always studying inside of the duke’s study, declining acquaintances with everyone. Kagome was the only brave soul to inch closer to the youth.

“Sessho-bro, wanna play outside?”

“No, I am not like you. I have things to do, books to study, brain to nourish! Hmph...”

“Boo. You are such a nerd!”

“At least I am not an idiot! Get lost! Hmph...”

These were the sort of conversations the two had always partaken in. Each time, Kagome would run away from the study crying, thoroughly bullied by this big nerd. She was however unaware of how much these little squabbles cheered Sesshomaru up. These little words warmed his heart and made him look forward to their little fights.

Years passed in such harmony.

One day, Kagome and Sesshomaru sneaked out (the midget had thoroughly blackmailed Sesshomaru) of the dukedom.

“You should come out more!”

“No, Father wants me to study. If I do not, how will I become a good king? Hmph...”

“If you want to become a good king then walk on the streets and look at your subjects. Closed walls make incompetent rulers!”

These words were like small bells, tolling in Sesshomaru’s heart. These words made him realise how wrong he had been his whole life. The midget actually sounded too cool at the moment. He was thoroughly in love with the midget.

More time passed and the children grew up. Inuyasha returned to the palace and Sesshomaru became the de-facto King due to their father’s illness. But, the rendezvous between Kagome and Sesshomaru never ended.

Like forbidden lovers, they would meet, kiss, roll in the sheets, kiss, roll in the sheets, kiss again and the dance continued. Life was too good, too perfect. Seven times each night and six times in the noon. Life was perfect! Kagome’s waist gained new levels of flexibility.

Then.

Like the wind which destroyed everything, the door of the duke’s house opened one day with a loud bang and in entered a swan-like creature, twirling on their toes, Naraku Cannibal, the new duke of Inutaisho’s kingdom.

“I want her!”

He pointed his sharp talons at Kagome and just like a sleazy bastard, an oily middle-aged cheating merchant, the duke who adopted Kagome rubbed his grubby hands together and accepted the gold coins with happiness, selling Kagome to the devil named Naraku.

Kagome gasped dramatically and fainted right away. She was married off when she was in a minor coma.

Naraku’s house had three adopted daughters. Among them, Kagome’s hateful eyes spotted the beautiful and cheerful Cinderella. She reminded her so much of her own previous life that Cinderella became an eyesore. Thus began the harsh treatment and benefit reaping.

Kagome was a truly pitiful character, only if she was not a scheming bitch behind the face of an innocent willow. She loved all the four males, slept with all four of them and ripped equal benefits. The four males in her life: The step-brother Kouga, her clandestine lover Sesshomaru, her step-nephew Inuyasha and her lawful husband Naraku. Oh, the irony of it all, the males fucking knew and they were out to murder her.

[Player has exited the dreamscape]

“What a hussy!” Was the first thing Kagome said when she returned to consciousness. Then she bit her tongue as a hot voice ear-raped her with a chuckling melody.

“So, beloved. You remember now?” Sesshomaru chuckled in her ear as his continuous grinding motion threatened to grind Kagome’s ass raw.

“Uggh…yeah!” Kagome bit her lip. The evil step-mom Kagome might have been a bitch but she was a respectable woman all right!

Kagome wanted to right all her wrongs and move the plot in a direction where she could save her ass. So she hesitated and in a weak voice suggested.

“I remember… and I am sorry! But, now, I am married! I have caused you a lot of pain with my betrayal. So, please! The only way I could repent is by asking you to take sincere care of my darling daughter, Cinderella.”

“Oh, you are just too good, too magnanimous, my mother-in-law! I would gladly accept your daughter. Let me know how to identify her.”

Kagome was rather surprised by the turn of events. Hey, look, everything was dandy. If she could ignore the teasing blow of air into her ear-hole accompanied by the term ‘mother-in-law’, then she would say that everything was looking quite amazing for her. Kagome thought seriously and then told him.

“Yes, look for a pair of glass sandals. The one who wears them is my Cinderella!”

“Oh, very well!” Cue the pulling in of her body into a hard chest and increase in hip gyrating value.

Say, could you perhaps stop the attempt of raping my ass?

[Warning: Male lead has turned Yandere!]

WTF? Yandere? How did Sesshomaru turn Yandere? What word turned the boat over? What? What? It was the glass slippers, wasn’t it? It was those slippers! Her doom!

Then before Kagome could react violently, like turning around and decking him in his dick or bashing his skull and running, or stepping on his foot and running, or whatever helped her to run away, Kagome was bonked on her skull with a hard object and she blacked out.

The next time Kagome regained consciousness, she was tied to a wall by chains, by fucking iron chains! But the most horror inducing fact was that her body was still wiggling with an erotic full-body dance wave. She looked like a worm waiting to be crushed by a banana, truly her bar-dancing erotic mode was completely overshadowed by her sorry, chained state.

Sesshomaru’s heavy footfalls entered the deep-dark-menace-inducing-yandere-psychopath-basement-type-room. And, thank the Lord, her pathetic excuse of a body movement stopped. Before Kagome could breathe a sigh of relief, Sesshomaru waved his hand.

“Start!”

Well, did Kagome explain how Sesshomaru had found himself a pole and was now doing a very sexy pole-dance in front of her? OMG, did he just lick the pole and wink at her?

Urrggggh! I am about to barf!

Several heavily masked individuals came to her and picked up her feet. Then they removed their knives with a ‘shing’ and peeled off Kagome’s soles. Yes, her soles! Her fucking feet soles. Then she was bleeding and shouting. Shouting herself hoarse. Shouting and pleading for this morose torture to end. The chains were removed and she collapsed on the basement floor, blood and snot forming a mess around her.

Sesshomaru pole-danced and teleported in front of her and picked her up princess style. Then, both of them were pole-dancing like snakes on a twig. Kagome was pale from blood loss and had lost all her feelings. They pole danced until her blood coagulated and a bit of colour returned to her skin.

“Now, you are mine! Nothing could take you away. Try and run all you want, if you can!”

A mad cackle bounced off the basement walls and Kagome would have slapped sense into this utter Yandere, praising him for such Yandere-centric words, only if the treatment of his had not gobsmacked her.

The only thing Kagome could think of was, ‘Well, the hussy deserved this’. But, she had no more tears to cry or shout, ‘I am not her!’

The next thing shot chills and goosebumps on her skin. A cool sensation covered her feet and Kagome with her hollow eyes stared at the glass slippers covering her feet.

[Player is now the main character!]

As soon as the dialogue box closed, Sesshomaru and Kagome were teleported to the ballroom and everyone stared at them with awe and reverence. No one seemed to care that she was already married, or she was bleeding, or she was being forced. Claps sounded from all ends. Then.

“Let the dance of survival begin!” Came a shout. And, almost immediately, arrows shot from all directions and the crowd went rowdy. Kagome stared, horror-stricken. So, this was the dance of survival? She had seen this the last time as well. When Cinderella and Prince had started to dance, the arrows had flown around as well. This, Kagome realized was the imperial court’s way of selecting the new crown-princess. What a joke! Kagome would be dead in a second! Then something struck Kagome. Wait, if she is Cinderella, then would Inuyasha Tessaiga her feet away as well? She had already lost her soles but had to protect her feet.

She jumped into Sesshomaru’s lap and gave him a weak smile, “Milord, I feel weak to dance. Is it possible for us to dance like this?” Her smile twitched sincerely.

Kagome could see the madness swirling in Sesshomaru’s gaze. No, she meant it literally! There was the word ‘madness’ written in a micro script, swirling around in his iris like a small whirlpool.

Kagome bit back the extreme sarcasm that was trying to overflow from her mouth. Her day had already started to take a serious toll on her.

“Yes, of course!” Sesshomaru grinned and black winds surrounded him to signify his evil aura. Frankly, Kagome could spare not a single fuck to such extremities. She rolled her eyes in her heart.

Suddenly, the door of the ballroom opened- BANG.

Kagome jumped and stared at the door. It was Duke Kouga. He was here to fight on the behalf of his incestuous lover. He flew across the hall and snatched Kagome from Sesshomaru’s grabby hands. Then, Kagome shivered with hatred. The Duke Kouga kissed her neck and ground her ass in an all familiar motion. The grinding-pulling-pushing dance started once again. And, Kagome wanted out of this step-sibling-incest-script.

A war ensued between two sides of bereft love-rivals.

“I have come to take my sister back! How dare you evil scourge lay a hand on this precious flower?”

“You dare? Duke Kouga, she is mine! She was mine and will remain mine! If you want to take her away then fight me!”

“You bet! I will defeat you with my pinky and abduct my princess!”

“You, you do not even match my greatness! How can you, a measly duke defeat this Prince?”

With a battle cry, both factions fought vigorously, a deadly ballet accompanied with precise swordsmanship. Kagome hopped to the nearby chair and sat down, her hips twisting constantly in an erotic chair dance, but she cared not. Kagome applauded loudly in her heart, what a clusterfuck of cliches! She picked up a nearby soft drink and entertained herself with the dance-fight. Life was great once again! Kagome looked on excited, Oh, oh, a real kingdom war.

****

[Find the true Killer of the murders]

Kagome spat out her drink. Cough…cough…

True killer. Just then, three bars appeared on the heads of three people and options appeared on a dialogue box.

[Prince Sesshomaru

Prince Inuyasha

Lord Kouga]

Kagome gulped and looked at the options. Murders? The last time, Cinderella had been murdered. Then this time who? A white light lit up in Kagome’s head. Wait, if she had the shoes, then was Cinderella dead this time around as well. Then why did the game not say so? Because she replaced the role? This was all very possible. Then there were more murders?

Suddenly a small kid in a servant uniform ran up to her and whispered in her ear.

“Duke Naraku has been found dead in the winter mountains, my lady!”

Kagome gasped. Of course, if Sesshomaru wanted to marry her, then her previous husband had to die. So, was Sesshomaru the true murderer? No, wait! It can’t be that easy.

Kagome thought hard. Why were those key items acquired for, was this the final stage of the game then? Maybe this was it! If she solved this, she could be out!

She reviewed the visions from the key items. Two of them hinted at Inuyasha while the last one at Sesshomaru. Something was missing, a final piece, Kagome’s eyes narrowed in concentration.

[New powers have been acquired: The priestess brilliance]

And immediately Kagome felt the demonic auras around her surge up with vehemence. All this time, there had been demons around her? She had not felt them because she had no powers. So, after being unlocked she was overwhelmed by those auras. Kagome took some time to settle her rapidly beating heart and her spinning head.

Then, she felt it! The light demonic energy on the glass slippers. She snuffed out the aura with her priestess powers before it could overpower her. Kagome’s eyes widened in alarm. This demonic energy, she remembered was similar to the one from Inuyasha’s dragon-scaled Tessaiga. It had the power to suck one dry of their energy vortex.

This was it!

Kagome understood now. The culprit was Inuyasha. Earlier when she had entered Cinderella’s room, she had come across the bracelet. That was because Inuyasha had gifted those glass slippers to Cinderella and then had left. Then he had carried around Tessaiga in secret in the ballroom and would have struck down cinderella during the dance. Since the glass shoes had powers sucking ability, hence Cinderella’s life force had been accumulated in that shoe, as a result, the time they were removed, Cinderella died.

Kagome truly applauded this Inuyasha. What a clever villain. If by any chance, Sesshomaru was to act up, like he did this time around, then no matter what happened, Cinderella would not survive. As soon as her shoes were off, she was dead! Thus she died this time around as well.

The thing about Naraku, Kagome was not sure but she had to bet on a chance. Otherwise, she could redo the game once again.

Her fingers trembled as they hovered over the options and then with a decisive sway, she pressed on the ‘Prince Inuyasha’ option. Almost immediately a ding was heard.

[Congratulations player, you have cleared the main mystery of this game.]

[Please reveal the murderer.]

Kagome’s eyes all but popped out of the socket. She had to reveal the criminal. Like she had to point him out. This game was truly dragging it!

Kagome rose from the chair, stumbling due to her missing soles. She cried once again in her heart. But, then used her powers to float mildly as she created a beautiful Kagura dance arc without a fan. She danced to in between the still feuding pair and stopped their swords before they could pierce her eyeballs out. No, really, their swords stopped minutes before they could prick her eyeballs like an over-bloated balloon. Kagome swore she learnt her lesson and would never come in between Inuyasha and Sesshomaru once she returned to her real world.

The pair stopped and stared at her incredulously. Kagome made a dramatic pose like those anime detectives and in slow motion rotated her hand to point her index finger at the culprit.

“And, the culprit is,” She shouted with passion,” Prince Inuyasha!” Her finger remained pointed as the whole hall gasped and Inuyasha smirked.

“Oh, you found me pretty quickly!”

Kagome wanted to laugh. If she did not look after all those deliberate clues, then she would have been slower than a snail. And what was this? How were these people not curious about what they were speaking? Did she miss something? Apparently, the whole hall knew about the murders?

“But, how would you prove your point?” Inuyasha smirked once again; classic villain move!

“You had infused the glass slippers with your demonic void energy and then carried around Tessaiga to commit homicide!” Kagome spoke with a flat tone like she was reciting a boring lecture.

“Oh, and where is the weapon you speak of?” Inuyasha faltered. The words ‘yes-I-am-the-villain-but-would-not-admit’ written all over his face in glaring red paint. No, seriously, it was written on top of his head, 'VILLAIN' in bold letters. 

Suddenly and arrow and a bow appeared in Kagome’s hands. She was shocked but thought nothing of this. If she was truly shocked about anything after this torturous game, then she deserved to die.

She pulled her arrow and shot it. Her lousy aim landed the arrow a few centimetres away from Inuyasha. Kagome cursed out loud.

“You, truly have the designs. You are truly worthy. To bind this Prince Inuyasha with holy energy, you are my equal!” Inuyasha snickered as he tried to move but he could not due to some invisible binds.

Kagome was truly shocked this time around. Was this the main character halo, the so-called plot-armour, which actually reversed her lousy half-assed aim into a binding spell? Wow!

“Yes, yes, I am the one who did it! What could you all do about it? I was neglected since birth, my brother received everything. Therefore I planned this massacre so that my brother would put his hands on Kagome and a war would be ragged between the two opposing kingdoms. Then, I could truly be the worthy winner! After this, I would use the energy reversal technique my dad taught me and would get out of these binds and would disappear before anyone could find me. I would return five years later, OP'ed beyond belief and destroy everything, taking thousands of ladies in my harem and ruling the world like a king!”

Inuyasha guffawed his dream plan and Kagome gawked. What a terrible villain. Who blurted out their plans like that? Kagome was so surprised that she almost forgot the next lines she should have said. With a small nudge and a small reminder from the small waiter beside her, Kagome returned full-fledged into her role of the world saviour. Wait for a second, when had this turned into a world-saving action genre? Kagome shook her head, whatever!

“I will not let you destroy the world villain, I will save this world!” Kagome acted in a Kate Winslet worthy movie script act. She did not even bother drawing the bow anymore, with a slight flick of her wrist, she threw the arrow with her bare hands. The arrow flew and pierced Inuyasha in his dick and he jolted like electrocuted. Kagome could feel the pain. Any demon would jolt with a priestess arrow up their dick.

“I would remember this. I would return, return!” Saying so Inuyasha dissolved into the air.

[Congratulations player for completing the game: Cinderella Dance Drama]

Kagome heaved an excessive sigh of utter relief. Finally, it was over! She could return!

But just then, her vision blackened and she woke up in a lush forest.

[Welcome player to the beginner’s game: Harem in the woods of Snow white]
