Once upon a time (As things always begin) there lived a beautiful young-
Cinderyoukai: “Who’s BEAUTIFUL?!” <-Still upset with Silver Fox for making him play a girl’s part.
Narrator: “Ahem..”
Cinderyoukai: *coughs and blushes, and puts his voice into a high pitched asexual tone* “Ahaha! I mean, yes, I’m beautiful.... But alas! My evil stepmother has taken away all my clothes and given me rags..” *boo hoo*
Narrator: “That’s better...” *grin*
Once upon a time (Whoa.. Deja vu..) there lived a beautiful young dog demon maiden named Cinderyoukai. She was the most beautiful and fairest in the land, but very poor. She was in reality, a rich noble of a great Western Lord, but her evil stepmother had made her into a servant after her father’s death.
Cinderyoukai, as you could say, was turned from riches to rags in just moments. She was made to scrub the floors, clean out the chimney, dust, mop, pick up after her messy steprelatives, cook, run errands..... It was amazing that the young maiden could stand it at all. The evil step mother hoped to break Cinderyoukai’s will, but no matter how many chores Cinderyoukai was weighed down with, the pure hearted girl never lost her cheery disposition.
Cinderyoukai: “Grrrrrr........” *stomps in from gathering eggs at the hen house, eggs broken on her dress*
Narrator: “O-kkkkkay... So she wasn’t so cheery ALL the time.”
Cinderyoukai: *sighs heavily* “Why? Why must I be tortured so? All I ever wanted in my life was to be loved!"
*Evil Stepmother walks into the kitchen, twirling a lock of raven black hair*
Evil Stepmother: “Cinderyoukai, look at this mess! You ungrateful wretch! I ask you to do a simple task as making eggs Benedict from scratch for my breakfast, and YOU ruin it!”
*Evil Stepsister comes in, looking cross, since she’s so short*
Evil Stepsister: “Mummy dearest! I don’t want eggs Benedict!” *whines* “I want porridge!”
Evil Stepmother: “Make my baby some porridge Cinderyoukai.” *smirks*
Cinderyoukai: *searches through cabinets* I-I’m sorry Stepmother.. We’re out of porridge.”
Evil Stepmother: “Then go out and buy some slave!!” *slaps Cinderyoukai*
Cinderyoukai: “AH!” *Falls and holds her face, where a red mark is forming*
Evil Stepsister: *cackles*
Cinderyoukai walks slowly to market, holding her basket tightly to her chest. She wears a simple white dress, which is ragged at the hem. Her long white hair is pulled up with a red bandanna, little wisps falling down into her golden eyes, like clouds trying to cover the sun.
Cinderyoukai: “I wish a prince would come and take me away from this awful life.” *sighs and rubs her cheek*
Cinderyoukai enters the bustling bazaar, and quickly buys a sack of porridge grains. As she leaves, a silver haired man grabs her porridge sack and runs away with it.
Cinderyoukai: “Thief!! Come back here!!!!” *runs after him*
Meanwhile, in the guise of normal peasants, the Prince of Shikon, and his advisor PA (Prince’s Advisor) are walking about the market, sampling wares.
PA: “I say Prince Shikon, do you think this is safe? I mean for the crown prince of Shikon no tama to be out and about with the peasants!”
Prince: “PA, don’t worry your head off. We’ll be absolutely fine.” *pulls the hood of his cape a little further over his face*
PA: “I just don’t like it. You could be assassinated or-”
*A few screams erupt through the cloud as a silver haired man runs through the crowd, holding a sack of grains*
Prince: “What is going??”
PA: *Watches as Cinderyoukai chases the man, her eyes narrowed in anger, and her claws unsheathed* “It would seem that he has taken that sack of grains from that young maiden..”
Prince: *watches* “I do believe you’re right.”
PA: “Should we attend to this matter?”
Prince: “Yes.”
Meanwhile...
Cinderyoukai: “Come back here you disgusting pervert!!! I want those grains!!” *picks up the pace*
Thief: Nyah nyah!!!! *sticks out tongue, and then gets hit over the head with something* *He goes down, swirly eyed*
*A caped man holds a large iron frying pan, which he had snatched from a peddler nearby*
Caped man: “Are you alright fair one?”
Cinderyoukai: *trembles*
Caped Man: “Do not be afraid...” *whips off cloak, revealing the Prince* “For I am the Prince of Shikon, at your service!”
PA: *Appears, waving a japanese flag* Yay! *cherry petals rain down*
Cinderyoukai: *trembles with rage, popping veins, and clenching her fist* “You... IDIOT..” *She points to the spilled bag of grain* “JUST WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO THANK YOU FOR NOW?!” *Runs away sobbing*
Prince: “Oh dear..” *looks at oats* “Well, I tried..”
PA: *rolls eyes as if to say ‘Told you so’*
When the prince returned home to his castle, he was greeted with the sight of his raging father.
King: Boy just what the hell are you doing?!
Prince: I uh.... Just wanted to look at the pretty women for a bride! *lies through his teeth*
King: “Is that so? Well then.” *whips out a parchment* “If that’s the case boy, I’ll bring them to you! SERVANTS! Prepare our castle for a ball!! Our son has finally decided to get married!!” *King goes about shouting orders to servants* “I want all the fairest ladies invited!!!”
Prince: *sweatdrops* “I think I’ve gone and done something.....
PA: *Nods sagely* Yup.
And so, arrangements were being made at the castle for the ball. While the Prince paced his chambers, trying to think of a way out of his dilemma, invitations were sent out to all the ladies in the kingdom....
*Evil Stepmother is dancing about her grand dining room with her daughter*
Evil Stepmother: “We’ve hit the jackpot!!! We’re going to become royalty!!!!”
Evil Stepsister: “YAHOO!! I’ll be in cahoots with that perfect prince in no time flat!!”
Cinderyoukai: *pokes at her scarps, her bottom still hurting from being switched earlier over the spilled grains* “You don’t know that.”
*Evil relatives stop rejoicing and glare at Cinderyoukai*
Evil Stepmother: “Perhaps, Cinderyoukai, you didn’t learn your lesson this morning.” *pulls out a cherry tree stick* “Shall I teach you again??”
Cinderyoukai: *eyes get big and she does that damsel in distress thing* “No! No please!!”
Cinderyoukai was switched again, and she grumbled the whole time while finishing the dishes, and then putting her cheery face back on while she began to make adjustments on her steprelatives dresses. The Evil Stepsister wore a cute blue gown, with a frilly white trim, while the evil step mother wore a morbid black dress, the blood red ribbons in her hair waving as she walked.
Cinderyoukai watched from a window as her evil step relatives left for the ball in a large carriage. Tears slipped down Cinderyoukai’s face as the carriage disappeared from sight. She wished she could go to the ball. Not to see the prince mind you- no she hated that awful prince, since he had caused her to be switched- she just wanted to see the grand palace, and see what all she was missing out on.
In her sorrows, Cinderyoukai never noticed the sparkling woman appear behind her.
As Cinderyoukai turned around to retire to her room for the night, she saw a beautiful young woman standing there, wearing a long white gown and silver sequined pumps. The woman would have been even more beautiful if there hadn’t been that sour expression on her face.
Fair Godmother: *flatly* “Fairy Godmother at your service. What’ca want?” <-He’s still angry with Silver Fox too.
Cinderyoukai: “Fairy Godmother?”
Fairy Godmother: “Yes?” *waves wand around pish posh*
Cinderyoukai: *thinks hard* “Could you help me get to the ball?”
Fairy Godmother: “How typical.” *rolls eyes*
Cinderyoukai: “Should I go get a pumpkin for the carriage, a couple of mice for horses, and a lizard and toad for footmen-”
Fairy Godmother: *taps foot impatiently* I don’t have time for this.” *waves wand*
FX: KABOOM!
Cinderyoukai: *opens her eyes to see a large white carriage, with seven white horses drawing it, a footman in silver clothing, and a driver in the same attire, standing before her*
Fairy Godmother: “You know the rules, be back before midnight, or all of this will disappear.”
Cinderyoukai: *whine* “That’s no fun! It’s already ten, so I’ll only have a few hours to play!”
Fairy Godmother: “Screw you, I’m leaving.” *pauses when Cinderyoukai wails*
Cinderyoukai: “But I have nothing to wear!!!!”
Soon, after some begging, pleading, and haggling, Cinderyoukai gets the deranged fairy to make her a dress.
Fairy Godmother: Bibbity bobbity BOO!
Cinderyoukai: “Was that necessary?”
Fairy Godmother: “Shut up- I just wanted to say that.”
(For those of you wondering, Cinderyoukai’s dress is not the gown that Disney made Cinderella wear. Oh NOOOOO... This one was a slinky white dress, with a slit up the leg. With that dress, she had long white gloves, diamonds galore, and of course..... Glass slippers.)
Narrator: “If you honestly think I’m going to write that STUPID drawn out musical scene Disney had for Cinderella’s carriage scene, you’re badly mistaken. Instead, I’ll just have him appear at the gates of the castle.
Cinderyoukai stood at the castle gates, huffing. She’d had to beat up some guards since she had no invitation. Once hopping the gate, she was scot free. She entered the Castle, trumpets announcing her arrival.
The prince sat on his throne sullenly, feeling positively sick of all the girls batting their eyelashes at him. The Evil Stepmother was before him, bowing profusely, and chatting him up. He ignored her constant prattle, looking aimlessly around the crowd. Not one lovely face in the whole crowd. Just a bunch of old hags and ugly girls. SIGH.
The Prince sighed, leaning his chin into his hand. He wished his father hadn’t thrown this stupid ball- wished he hadn’t said he’d gone to town to check out the women. Didn’t his father know he just wanted to be a normal person and circulate??
PA noticed his master’s disposition and quickly decided that the Evil Stepmother had better take her leave- before she annoyed his Master and lost her head.
As PA shooed off any women searching the Prince’s attention, the Prince himself was dreaming of a certain maiden girl-
::PRINCE’S DREAM SEQUENCE::
*The scene shifts to a field, where a forest of cherry trees becomes the backround*
Cinderyoukai is standing in a lovely white gown, her hair pulled up in wondrous flowing white locks, and the Prince is standing in a prim blue uniform. He kneels to her, watching in amusement as she blushes, and allows him to kiss her hand. He reaches into his pocket and slips something out. Cinderyoukai’s face lights up as the Prince slips a large diamond ring onto her finger.
Prince: “Marry me, O’ wondrous fair maiden!”
Cinderyoukai: “Oh I do!!”
*The two throw each other into their arms, and kiss passionately*
::END OF DREAM::
PA: “Prince!! I say, wake up!!” *PA pokes a snoozing Prince, who sits up with a start*
Prince: “Huh? Wha-??”
PA: “Look!” *points to Cinderyoukai who is standing on the top of the stair landing, while the whole court stares in awe*
Prince: *jumps to his feet* “It’s her! It’s my dream girl!!” (Yeah he knows it’s Cinderyoukai...)
*Cinderyoukai watches slightly embarrassed as the Prince runs up the stairs, two at a time*
Prince: “Fair maiden, I’m terribly sorry for this mornings, incident. Please, forgive a clumsy boy such as myself. I am unworthy to speak to such a lovely creature..” *big puppy eyes*
Cinderyoukai: *blushes slightly* “E-Eh?”
Prince: “Would you care to dance??”
Cinderyoukai: *blinks and is pulled to the dance floor* “B-But I don’t-”
Prince: “Shhh..” *does that romantic thing, kissing Cinderyoukai’s fingertips*
Cinderyoukai: “If you put it that way!!” *grabs Prince’s head and kisses him on the mouth*
Prince: *eyes bug*
King: “EGADS!!!”
Queen: “WHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOO!!!! Remind you of anything Darling?”
King: *eyes his wife’s large bust* “As a matter of fact- it does.” *both royal parents nick off to their bedroom*
Meanwhile, the Evil Stepmother and Evil stepsister are fuming.
Evil Stepsister: “Mother, you said I would get to dance with him!”
Evil Stepmother: “Come, we must go.” *drags Evil Stepsister home*
Meanwhile, Cinderyoukai is dancing around the ballroom as though tomorrow will never come. After that kiss, the two seem completely infatuated with each other. The Prince never let his violet blue eyes leave her gorgeous sun gold eyes. Their bodies seemed to almost dance automatically, as they searched each other’s souls through their intense gaze.
Before long, the Prince had maneuvered them onto the large balcony, which PA closed off from prying eyes, by drawing the curtain.
Cinderyoukai: *looks as though she’s awoken from a wonderful dream* “Where are we?”
Prince: *looks about* “The balcony”
Cinderyoukai: “Just what do you plan to do with me out here your highness?”
Prince: “Oh, I’ll think of something.” *leans in for another kiss*
The bells begin to chime...
Cinderyoukai: *thinks* DAMN!
Prince: *looks confused* “What’s wrong?”
Cinderyoukai: “I must leave!!”
Prince: “But wait!! I don’t know your name!!” *Cinderyoukai dashes off, leaving the prince unsatisfied and aching for more*
Narrator: “ I’m not dragging this out either. You all know how it goes. Cinderyoukai loses one of her glass slippers, and the Prince has to go from house to house, trying to find a perfect match for the slipper.
And as you also know, the Prince DID come to Cinderyoukai’s residence.
PA: “Excuse me Madame, but we would like to see all the young girls of the house please.”
Evil Stepmother: “Come in, Come in!” *opens door wide, and lets the Prince and PA in*
Prince: “Are these your girls?” *eyes Shippo, then Cinderyoukai*
Evil Step Mother: “Yes- but Cinderyoukai did not go to the ball the other week. You won’t have to try her.”
PA: “Everyone has an equal chance.”
Evil Step Mother: “But I tell you-” *stops when Prince glares at her*
Prince: “Here little girl, try this on.” *hands slipper to the Evil Stepsister*
Evil Stepsister: *puts teeny tiny foot into the slipper*
PA: “Too small.”
Prince: *nods sagely*
Evil Step Mother: “I’ll go next!!” *tries to fit foot into shoe*
PA: “It fits!”
Prince: *throws hands up in disgust* “PA, it’s Cinderyoukai I’m in love with!”
PA: “What? How did you know that?!”
Prince: “Because Cinderyoukai is wearing the other slipper.” *points to Cinderyoukai’s feet, where the girl is wearing one sandal, and one glass slipper*
PA: “Oh..”
And so, Cinderyoukai married Prince Shikon, and the two lived happily ever after in their castle, having a very healthy sex life (Much to PA’s dismay, since their passion kept him up at night- look, stone walls echo...) and lots of money.
As for the evil step relatives, the Evil Step mother married the Cranky Fairy God mother, and moved herself and her daughter to The Land of Poofs, where they lived happily ever after.
And as for the Narrator....
Narrator: *blinks and looks out from behind her Inu Yasha tankubon* “What?”
Oh nevermind......
Silver Fox's notes: Holy.... Sorry folks. I just had an urge to write a fairy tale with the Inu Yasha gang. I'm sorry if this shocks anyone. And also, I know, Inu Yasha should have been the Prince, and Kagome should have been Cinderella- but this was much funnier.
*Blinks* The Land of... Poofs? Sorry!!! That the Land where Sesshomaru lives- or the Fiary God Mother would live I suppose. Sorry, but Kathy told me she thought Sesshomaru was a Poof, so I just had to put that in there.
Gods, I'm too goofy today. *shakes head* I'd better lay off the caffine for a while.
