Butterfly Fly Away
Chapter 1: Princess
Once long ago, there was a prosperous kingdom. The peasants were not penniless, but they were not rich either. The nobles were just as they always are: snobs. The royal family was kind. The kingdom was one of prosperity and happiness. However, there was one in the kingdom who was most unhappy: the princess Kagome.
She would often sit at her window in her tower room and look down on the village folk. It wasn't that she thought she was better than them; she envied them. She would watch children playing at their parents' feet, villagers buy and sell, drunkards pass out, and young lovers kiss. How she longed to be a part of that.
Her parents were protective. Her father strict. She was pampered but unhappy. She knew that any village girl would long to be her. That was the thing that made no sense to her. She was the one who wanted to be like them. She wanted to feel dirt and grass beneath her toes. She wanted to run with the wind in her hair. To lie beneath the stars. To swim in the shining lake. But it was not proper.
And she was a proper princess.
A/N: Hello all! I hope you have enjoyed this very short first chapter of my first ever SessKag fic! I know it is short but as a challenge to myself I want to make every chapter 200 words- not including the title and AN. So please deal with it! Also, if I get enough reviews and inspiration from the darkest parts of my mind, I may surprise any loyal readers with a longer chapter.
Reviews are much appreciated!
Love you all!
