"So you just accidentally ditched me here?" I snapped to the phone as the raindrop hit my nose.

"We are so sorry, Inuyasha. But Sesshomaru told us that you had told him that-"

"That I was going to Miroku's house. Right. And you believed him? Of course that ass is happy now when I'm waiting for some fucking buss in rain."

"Inuyasha", my mom's voice was calm. "Don't swear to me and calm down. Just wait for the buss 13 and come home. The dinner is ready here."

"Yeah, whatever."

"Okay. Love you.

"Yeah", I sighed and hung up. I had stood at the buss station just few minutes and I was already soaked. Obviously the day get better and better. And next week would be one hell of party too; Sesshomaru's, my half brother's wedding. And keep that in mind when I say half brother. He's just some asshole who happens to be my father's son too and I don't care a damn about him. He pisses me off with his calm, so grown up voice and if you ask me his face looks too much like a girl to be on top of man's body. He thinks I'm stupid and that's excatly how I think about him so we're even.

I raised my gaze from ground when I heard the buss coming. The sigh of relief get stuck in my throat when I saw number 5 on the gray buss. "Goddammit", I swore under my breath as the buss doors opened in front of me. The driver looked at me, waiting for my answer but I didn't say no like I had intented to.

I saw this girl. She was sitting in front seat just behind the driver, she wasn't even looking at me but at dirty window, following the raindrops, how they rolled down then back to up to follow the next falling ones. I looked at her like that too. My eyes weren't bored anymore but hungry to watch her face and body which was covered with really big windbreak and dark jeans. Her hair was messy, even dirty, long and black, slightly curly. Her wet bangs clung to her forehead. Her face was kinda dreamy looking, lips parted just a bit and above them a small nose. Her eyes were dark and tired, maybe even sad.

I wasn't a guy who just fell in love by first sight, I was far from that. But I just saw her, I saw her like I had never seen anyone before. There was just something about her which left me totally wordless and that both amzed and annoyed me. She wasn't all that beautiful.

"Hey. You're coming or what?" asked the driver's gruffy voice and my eyes moved from the girl to him and there back to the girl. She still wasn't paying any attention.

This is so stupid. "I... Yeah." I stepped inside the buss and handed my money to the driver. I let my feet turn me left and carry beside the girl's seat. I stared at her black hair then moved my gaze away, "Oi." I felt her eyes on me and glanced back at her. "Is... this seat taken?"

I almost blushed when she moved her her body to have look at other seats which were empty. Yeah, this was the part where she told me to fuck off. But then I heard 'no' instead and her small smile bornt butterflies in my stomach. And there we were, sitting next to one other as I tried to imagine something clever to say.

"Nice weather", I said coolly and she looked at the window slightly amused.

"Yeah, rain is good", she nodded. "Kinda detergent."

"Keh", I snorted. "Especially when your family leaves you alone in it you totally feel very clean."

She hemmed softly. The slightly messy essence made her look like a dark princess.

I wasn't so good with talking, especially when it had to be some flirty talking. "So. School starts next week."

I saw her blink and then she nodded, "Yeah."

"It sucks."

"I liked school", she said softly.

"Liked?"

She nodded again. "Not anymore though. There's... more important things in life."

"Keh. You're right about that", I snorted, thinking about dad. His harsh face shouting at me, telling me that if I wanted some kind of furture, my only option was to go to high school but I knew what he was trying. Trying to make me like him, a business man who worked in a well-known company. I couldn't nor didn't want to see myself in that kind of future.

"I liked to draw", she cut my thoughts. "In school I mean. I alwas waited for the art class. But anyway, that was long ago."

"Then maybe you're good at that."

"I don't know", she said to the window. "I started to hate it one day when our new teacher looked at my sketch. I had drawn some kind of wooden well and a green forest around it. I don't know where I had got that idea but I really liked it. But when teacher saw it, she said that it was unrealistic and that we were supposed to sketch forest with animals, not some well."

Gosh, she seemed shy at first but when she got in the mood to talk she really knew how to do that. "Teachers are stupid", I tried to cheer her up though I hardly knew what it even meant.

"Maybe. But I haven't never forgot that", I watched how she took a deep breathe then turned to look at me. Brown eyes. "I'm Kags."

"Uh, hi", I blinked and shook her offered hand. "Nice name."

She smiled somehow sadly. "Nickname."

"What's the real?" I blurted out and she raised her eye brow.

"You haven't even told me yours."

"Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha", she repeated after me and just stared boldly at my face. All I could think about was that she was really, really pretty.

The buss stopped and doors opened. She noticed it, stopping our staring competition. Then she grabbed my hand and made my heart stop. "C'mon, let's go!" she said and I was dragged out of my seat.

"But- Hey!"

The buss doors closed behind us as she leaded me outside. We were completely other side of the town where I was supposed to be but I guess that was my own fault too when I had taken the wrong buss. But dammit, it was her faul that I was under the pouring rain again. "What the hell?" I yelled at her. "Are you crazy?"

"No", she shook her head, smiling shyly. "Sorry that you missed your buss now. But I want to take you somewhere."

"What?" I stared at her through the rain. "And where the hell that would be?"

"I'll show you", she offered her hand to me again and chuckled at my annoyed expression. "It's all right. I promise I'll buy your next buss ticket." She was stupid, totally stupid. She was freely offering her hand to complete stranger. Didn't she know I could be some kind of rapist?

She was a princess, asking me to dance her own, weird, unknown dance.

How could I say no?

I slowly took her hand and she walked me through a few blocks. I looked at her dryly when we stopped in front of coffee shop but she only bought us two buns. 'Course I had my pride, saying to her that I could pay it though I didn't even care about anything sweet tasting but she just shook her head.

When we walked and walked, both soaked, the highrises lessened and streets changed into grass. There was more trees too and the mud clung to my white shoes. Suddenly she stopped and pointed at a little red house with her finger. It was hard to see when it wasn't very close and it was behind long trees.

"There", she said simply and started to walk towards it, me following her steps.

"You brought me here to watch some house?"

"Not that house, be patient, Inuyasha", she grinned. She said my name gently and I felt like it had a whole different meaning when she said it.

The red house probably had had a yard but now it was gone because the lack of lawnmower. We traipsed in the long grass when I followed her behind the house. There was another but it really wasn't a house. I was a really small cottage. Her eyes twinkled when she looked at me and I was puzzled. What was so special about this pathetic brown hut?

"I found this over an year ago", she explained as I looked at its cranky roof and almost broken windows. "I was just walking around then I saw that house. I think no one has lived in there for a long time and this was a playhouse for their children. I had one too when I was little. Wanna look inside?"

She really was a weird princess. "How? You gonna broke window?"

"No, of course not", she pouted when I didn't return to her grin. "I'm not some kind of petty criminal." I snorted at that. "When I found this", she knelt on the ground and spotted a toy car. "I sat here a long time until I noticed this little car." She stood up, looking at me and turned the toy car upside down. It let out a "click" sound then a key fell from inside it on to her hand. I looked at it surprised. She gave me the key. "Open the door."

I shot a look at her then walked at the door and put the key inside the lock. The lock snapped open. She walked towards me and her hand brushed against my back. The touch made me almost shiver. "Good boy", she said softly and moved pass me inside. I gulped and remembered when this princess asked me to dance. Was it just me or was our waltz changing into tango? I could still walk away if I wanted to stay alone with my normal and comfortable life.

Hell no.

There was just something about her which made me follow.

The cottage was actually quite large for a playhouse. There was a small table, a closet and bed. The carpet was dirty and thick dust was sneaking into my nose. Probably into Kagome's too because she sneezed. Nothing had ever sounded so cute. I let out a loud chuckle.

"What?" she asked.

"Are you here often?" I asked.

"No. Alone it's... a little scary", she sat on the bed. "I have never told anyone about this place. But I wanted to share it with someone." Her eyes were soft, alluring. What kind of girl was she actually? Someone who jumped into bed with every stranger? That thought kept me still though there was place beside her on the bed where my legs could have carried me.

She noticed it. "Are you okay?"

"I..." Dammit. What was I doing here? Trying to get laid? "I think I should go. I'm starved and..."

"Then take a bun", she offered, holding the paper bag in her hand. But when I didn't relax nor answer, her face turned sad. "I'm sorry. I'm... I'm not trying to seduce you or anything, trust me. If had enough of that... I just... I don't have many people who to talk to and you seem like a nice guy. I don't know why but I feel like I can trust you." For a moment I thought that she was lying just to make me stay but her eyes looked honest. She wasn't trying to make me stay, she was just friendly, asking me to stay. I could have hit myself. Why was I even complaining in the first place? The most prettiest girl in the world had dragged me here with her. I was a lucky bastard.

"Damn... Forget what I said", I shook my head, annoyed with myself and sat on the bed. "Give me that bun."

She gave me a hesitant smile and the paper bag. "Are you okay now?"

"Keh", I asnwered and took a bite from bun. "This shit tastes horrible." She giggled softly. There was silent for a moment then I realized that she was shivering. There wasn't sound of raindrops hitting againts the windows anymore which told us that the rain had stopped. Our clothes were still wet though I was good but apparently she was cold.

After quickly looking around I saw a folded blanket next to me and speared it open, offering it to her. But she just eyed at it suspiciously, "What if it's full of worms?"

"Worms?" I repeated.

"Yeah, worms. White, little worms."

"So you're afraid of worms?"

"No", she said sharply. "I just don't like them."

She didn't see how I rolled my eyes or when I threw the blanket over her head. She let out a short yell.

"Jerk", she glared but wrapped it around her shoulders.

I smirked. "You haven't told me your real name yet."

"Is Inuyasha really your birth name?"

"Yeah", I snorted. "My mom's kinda weird."

"In that case I like her. And your name too."

How could she smile like that? To me? "T-thanks."

She went silent, obviously assuming that the subject about names was over. No, I wanted to know her real name badly, especially when I thought that the nickname didn't suit her at all. "Tell me your real name."

She sighed. "You don't give up." I raised my eyebrow, shaking my head. She sighed again. "No."

"No?"

"I hate my name and I'm not going to tell you."

"Well I don't think is as stupid as your nickname. Kags sounds idiotic."

"Well thank you very much but I like it, Mr. Dogdemon- Ah choo!" she sneezed again, this time almost on my face.

"Keh."

"Keh", she aped and our conversation was over.

I was in awe actually. She was so difficult and so enigmatic.

The sun was creeping back to the sky from behind the clouds and it shone against my eyes. I closed them, breathing calmly and wondering how weird this was, that I was sitting in kid's playhouse. But she surprised me again when I felt her lean against my shoulder. I didn't dare to look but I could easily picture her eyes closed too, snuggling against me.

Princess.

My thoughts were drifting away, all the weariness from shopping for Sesshomaru's wedding suddenly getting over me. I didn't even realize that I had fallen asleep until she moved away from me and I slowly opened my eyes. Her face was there, brown eyes staring to my gray ones. "Thanks for our little adventure", she smiled softly, playfully. Half of me was still asleep, half of me shocked of how close she was and how much closer she could still move. "If we meet again, I promise I'll tell you my name." She quickly gazed at my lips and I had to restrain my mouth from begging her to kiss me. I didn't have the courage to try it myself.

But she blinked and her soft mouth touched my cheek. "Inuyasha", she said only my name, nothing else.

"What-" I tried to say, fully opening my eyes then but she was quickly out of the bed. And out of the cottage.

I thought that I could be her prince and run after her, utter some lame words of love but I wasn't like that. Though I knew this was something, something. But I could only move my hand on to my cheek, rub it and think that's were my princess's lips had just been.
