Kaykai: Wowzas! I wasn't expecting so many hits in just the short time I posted this; it was even put into a community. And thank you lovelyanimeangel for being my fist reviewer. I'm glad you like it.

Disclaimer: If I really did own Inuyasha and Red River do you actually think that I would be counting all the riches I made instead of writing FANFICTION. Wait, I probably would fan fiction rocks!

Summary: The fight with Naraku ended a year ago and Kagome was pulled back into her own time. While she was on a 'forced' date with Hojo Kagome was yanked down a puddle into ancient Hittite by an evil Queen wishing to sacrifice her. And just when she thought her life couldn't get even worse she becomes the 'concubine' of one the princes that reminds her of a certain perverted monk.


Where the Sky and Red River Meet


"What the hell! That stupid, insensitive, hentai jerk of a prince just left me here! Argh. I'll just have to manage by myself now." Kagome ranted.

I wonder how far back in time I am. Maybe, if I can get back to japan in this time. I can see Inuyasha again!

A knock at the door brought Kagome out of her musing. Looking back she saw a person bringing a tray of food to her.

"Excuse me…I brought you dinner."

"Hi and thank you." Kagome couldn't help but notice how adorable he was with the faint blush on his face.

"Hi, My name is Tito. Kail-sama ordered me to look after Kagome-sama." he explained.

"Kagome-sama?" He addresses me just like Miroku-sama, but he reminds me more of Shippo-chan.

"I think this is the first time Kail-sama has brought a woman here. I'm quite happy about it. Do you like flowers?" Tito said.

"Thank you, Tito-kun." Yep, just like Shippo-chan. Talking nonstop. Kagome smiled lightly at the young boy.

"Ne, Tito-kun, can I ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"Using Katashiro on people…placing a death curse on people by using a human sacrifice…is that really possible?" Kagome questioned.

"Kagome-sama! That is a major crime!" Tito was shocked that she would even speak of that.

"You're saying that it is possible then?"

"Yes, it seems that only the powerful priest can do it. But, I've heard that they usually use snakes for cursing people. I suppose that using a human sacrifice, you can target virtuous people and nobility." Tito informed. "Is there something else Kagome-sama?"

"Oh, yes, suppose a powerful priest used that power to bring someone here from a very far away country. What should that person do to get back home?"

"If that's the case, shouldn't you ask the same priest again? In general, I've heard that only the person himself can undo the power that has been used." Tito finished his chore and began to exit her room. "Well, my room is next to the kitchen. If you need anything just call for me, okay"

"Okay, Goodnight, Tito-kun.


Tito was walking down the hall to his room, humming a small tune until he noticed something. "Huh? Why are there 6 water jugs? I only drew jugs yesterday."

"Oh, a water merchant came by earlier. He was boasting about his water being good and sweet so I bought a jug." a servant told him.

"Really? Then I'll give it to Kagome-sama first thing in the morning!"

As Tito lay sleeping, the queen was manipulating the dark water bought by the servant.

"…I can hear the breathing of someone sleeping. It's a child…but I can still use him." she spoke in a hushed tone. "Now then, this person…I'll make him do the dirty work for me…"

Using her power over water, the queen moved the dark water out of the jug towards Tito. The water paused when he stirred and slipped inside his ear, taking over his body.


Silently, Kagome sneaked out of her given room. Crap! Tito-kun said that only the priest who brought the person here can undo the power that brought them here. So, only that vile woman can take me back home. I'd rather take my chances in an one-on-one battle to the death with Sesshoumaru-sama than rely on that queen to take me back. Kagome tightened the sash around her dress.

There has to be another way for me to return back to Japan. "Great, I'm back in this strange place…Which way was that gate?" Kagome looked around, searching for a way out of the palace. "This place is way too big for just one prince. Sheesh."

Kagome stepped forward, unknown to her that a noose was being lowered in front of her, until her airway was being constricted. "Crap!" I knew it. That pervert is in good terms with that queen!

Kagome struggled against the noose, trying in vain to loosen it from the throat, until a dagger was pointed at her. Looking down, she saw that the wielder of the dagger was Tito.

"Tito-kun?" Shit his eye color! He must be possessed.

"Tito-kun! Stop, you're being controlled. You have to fight it! Tito-kun!" Kagome tried over and over again to bring Tito to his right mind, but nothing seemed to work. Tito continued the slash at her with his dagger.

"Hey! Someone! Anyone! I know that you can hear me. Come help Tito-kun, His being possessed!" Kagome called out. Tito-kun, you have to fight it. You don't really want to kill me. Where the hell is that perverted prince, right now I don't care if it was a soldier of the queen's someone has to help Tito-kun!

"Tito-kun, Stop this!"


Meanwhile back at the queen quarters she was laughing at Kagome. "Prince Kail only keeps his favorite hand servant and a few slaves in his palace. So, no one will be able to interfere." She turned to the cloaked figure, "Uruhi, are the spell preparations going well?"

"Yes. All we need now are the girl's blood, and for you to perform the incantation." Uruhi replied.

"Excellent! Then my son will inherit the crown! Now, child…You should be grateful to me for granting such a heavy responsibility upon one of such humble birth. Make an offering of this girls blood to me!" That girl kill her!


"Tito-kun!"

Kagome moved out of the way of the dagger, letting in cut the rope of the noose surrounding her throat.

The queen snarled. "You useless thing! Don't let her get away.

I have to help Tito-kun, but how! "Ah. The gate!" Kagome ran towards the gate but an idea popped into her mind. What if it is the queen that is controlling him? What did she was she was again? The King of water!

"Tito, forgive me!" Kagome balled her fist up, prepared to slam it into Tito's stomach, but an arrow flying towards them stopped her.

The arrow nicked Tito's wrist, making him drop the dagger.

"Tito! What are you doing?" the prince's voice called out.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Kagome slammed her fist into Tito hard enough to make him spit up something.

The queen was furious. That accursed Kail! He interfered. But how did that girl know that that child was being manipulated by the dark water?"

"Your Highness!" Uruhi began.

"Don't worry the dark water will disappear. There'll be no proof that I did it." she reassured him.

The contents of Tito's stomach were still in sight before they began to vanish, but not before Kikkuri saw it.

"That! That is the queen's dark water!"

"Damn!" Kail cursed.

"Kail-sama…"

Thank kami, Tito-kun is safe.

"Kagome, are you alright?" Kail asked her.

"Don't touch me you hentai prince." Kagome said weakly. Crap, I lost too much blood. I'm getting faint. These were Kagome's last thoughts before everything went black.

"Kagome!"


"Hmm?" Kagome awaked, covered in silk sheets and her wounds wrapped.

"What the hell?" Kagome noticed that her chest wasn't bound any longer and that she was resting on someone lap.

"Awake already? How do you feel?"

She quickly shot up upon hearing the prince's voice. "Hentai! Where are my clothes!" she demanded. Did he see the mark of the Shikon?

"Calm down. I did nothing to you. Tito was under the queen's control. I tried looking into it a bit…I'm positive that the queen is plotting something. Will you stop glaring at me? Your wound was nothing major. I gave you some medicine, so you should heal soon."

Kagome's glare soften a bit, but it did nothing to hide the blush she was sporting. Damn that insistent queen, she will go to any measures just to kill me. I have to find another way back to Japan. But who can?

Does it hurt?" Kail questioned.

"No, not at all. I suppose I should thank you." Though I would have healed on my own. My miko ki allows me to heal faster than most ningen.

Kail continued to stare at the beautiful woman sitting on his bed. Grasping the sheet, he kissed the pink marking on her chest.

What the hell? That pervert! "What do you think you are doing? Release me!"

"I'm sure you know what it means for a man to be with a woman…I don't feel like taking a proper princess yet…so, a single concubine should be sufficient."

Hold up. Concubine. No. No way in hell.

Kail kissed her then.

"No…Stop….Release me! I refuse to become a concubine of someone such as you!"

Kail ignored her struggles, thinking that she was only playing hard to get until a stinging sensation erupted from his face.

Kagome struck him across the face with all her strength. "I told you no. I love Inuyasha. I hate people who try and force themselves on someone."

Kail pressed his hand to his burning hot cheek, cooling it somewhat. Seeing the anger in her sapphire eyes, he began to pull his robes back on.

Ding-Ding! Ding-Ding!

"A chime?" Kagome looked at the nearby window, grasping the sheet tightly to her chest.

"Tito's punishment is probably beginning. That's the signal bell." Kail tied the sash at his waist.

"What do you mean, "Tito's punishment"? Why is he's being punished?"

"The law decrees that anyone who tries to kill a member of the royal family will face capital punishment. Since I took you into my palace, you are now recognized as a queen." Kail told her.

"But, Tito was being controlled by the queen." Kagome argued.

"There's no proof that she did it. I don't want him to die, either. But even I cannot change the law." Kail said with a downcast look.

Kagome chucked a pot at him. "Ow!"

"Baka! This isn't the time to think like that! Where is the execution grounds, tell me now!"

Kail looked at her with a questioning look before he smiled. "Alright, this way."


Outside at the palace, Tito stood on a platform, awaiting the punishment.

"Isn't he just a child? What's his crime." An onlooker questioned.

"He tried to kill a member of the royal family!" another answered.

"Well, that's pretty stupid of him." The onlooker commented.

"Put the noose around his neck!" a guard ordered.

The rope was lower and slipped onto Tito's throat as he gritted his teeth.

"Alright, now pull!"

"Wait! Halt the execution!"

Tito opened his eyes. "Kagome-sama?"

"This execution is foolish! Stop it at once, dammit!" Kagome barked. "Kail, say something, now!"

"Kagome…"

"Tito-kun isn't bad at all. He barely even scratched me." Kagome bargained Tito-kun was the only person here who was kind to me.

"Beg your pardon, milady." a soldier bowed. "According to the law, if a commoner raises a sword against a noble, he receives the death penalty. The punishment is different between commoners."

"Commoners and nobles? What kind of crap is that." Kagome argued.

"If this was a case of assault between commoners, it would be customary to settle it with forced labor, or a fine." Kikkuri explained.

"Kikkuri-san…Then in that case, I shall punish Tito by making him work hard. Now then, let's go Tito-kun!" Kagome exclaimed, not wanting Tito to die because of her.

"Wait, milady. That is against the law."

"I don't care! I'm not even of high social ranking. If I'm so great then let me punish Tito my way. I refuse to let him die for me!"

Kail grasped Kagome's wrist. "Kagome, you are not allowed to use imperial authority for your personal affairs!"

"What are you saying? For Tito-kun to die! Doesn't the caste system exist so that the nobles will protect the commoners? I repeat if I'm so freaking great let me punish Tito-kun my way?" she snapped.

Kail looked at Kagome with wide amber eyes. "…I see." He released her wrists. "Well then. Let's take Tito home."

"Y…your highness! What are you saying?"

Kail kissed Kagome's forehead. Yech! Remember Kagome, for Tito-kun.

"It's simple really. My favorite mistress is being a bit unreasonable, isn't she? Well, I'm not going to oppose her this time." Kail said. "Kikkuri, bring Tito here."

"Yes, my lord."

"Your highness, please wait!"

Kail turned to the man who spoke. "I will assume full responsibility. Should any problems arise, you will find me at my palace."

"I…I…" Tito broke down in tears.

Kagome rushed to Tito and held him close to her chest. "Shh, Tito-kun. It's going to be fine."

"Kagome-sama…I thought Kail-sama would have no choice but to let me die…" Tito wailed.

"Tito-kun, calm down. We're going home, now." Kagome shushed him.

Tito continued to cry and thank Kagome. "I'll do anything for you, Kagome-sama! Just tell me and I'll do it anything!"

"Thank you Tito-kun, but that won't be necessary." Kagome said. The only thing I want is to see Inuyasha again.

"Man, how come only priests can undo their own power?" Kaede told me that anyone with equal power could undo another's spell. What era am I in? Kagome groaned.

"What are you talking about Kagome-sama? Any priest with equal or greater ability can undo another's power." Kikkuri said.

I knew it! Tito-kun must not have had enough knowledge about it.

Kagome grabbed Kikkuri's robes. "Really, then is there a priest who can rival the queen's power."

"The Queen? She's one of the best! There are only a very few in this empire who can." Kikkuri explained.

"Really who is it?" My power is not enough since that queen was able to pull me here.

"Yes. He stands in your presence now. My lord is right before your eyes, isn't he?" Kikkuri smiled pointing over his shoulder.

No. No way? Did he really say 'My lord? "No, you don't really mean. Kail!" Kagome exclaimed. That pervert is a priest who can send me back!

"Is it really a bad thing for me to be a priest?" he questioned with a faint blush.

"I should've guessed. This guy must have been Miroku-sama in a past life." Kagome huffed under her breath.


"A priest's power far surpasses that of an ordinary human. It's magic." Kail told her. "Depending on the mage, the power can be used for "right" or "wrong", so it's necessary to be careful about it."

"I don't need a lecture about magic." Kagome snapped. I already know this stuff. "I just want to know if you can send me back or not!"

"That is why I am explaining it to you step by step. What an impatient little brat." he huffed.

"Shut up. Just get to the point already!" If this perverted prince can undo the queen's magic, then maybe he will send me to the warring states era. Then I can see Inuyasha again.

"If you want me to cut to the chase…I will."

Kagome grabbed his cloak. "How will you send me home?"

"That's why I was explaining it to you step by step! So sit quietly for a bit!"

Kagome sulked back into her chair with a faint flush on her face. "Jerk."

"Geeze." Kail huffed. "Firstly, the seven springs in Hattusa must be filled completely. In this current season, the springs are full when the morning star shines in the shines in the eastern sky, so you should wait for then. And one more thing…" he trailed off

"One more thing? Tell me, Kail." Kagome tensed in her seat.

"Whether the queen does it or I do, in order to return you from whence you came, you have to be in the same condition you were when you arrived. So you will also need those clothes you wore when you first arrived in this country. I suppose that'd be the strange garments you wore when we first met." Kail said, recalling the short blue dress she wore. "What happened to them?"

"Oh, I think that they are…They must be in the great temple. I had to change clothes there. I must be there!"

"The great temple?" Kail questioned.

Okay, on the day the springs are full, and I'm wearing the clothes I had, and Kail, I just may be able to go back.

"Kikkuri. Go and find out what happened Kagome's clothes." Kail ordered.

"Yes, my lord."

"I'm going too, then." Kagome stood up, preparing to leave with Kikkuri.

Kail grabbed the back of her robes. "No, you won't. You can't just recklessly go wherever you like. Didn't you learn from last night? And besides having powers, the queen is second only to the emperor in terms of rank and authority. If you don't want to lose your head, be a good girl and stay here."

Kagome stuck her tongue out at his back. "Fine you perverted prince!"

"Don't worry. No matter what, her highness's reach does not extend into this place." Tito chirped. "Kail-sama will surely protect us."

"Tito-kun…" Now that he mentioned it, Kail has been saving me ever since I came here. And he did stop trying to force himself on me, but only after a slapped him. Kagome recalled with a faint blush as an image of Kail's regal face appeared in her mind. In that case, Kail's probably not such a bad person…and yet I'm always yelling at him.

Kagome walked through the palace to where Kail and Tito were. "Uhm…I…" she began.

"Oh, is that you Kagome?" Kail asked. "Perfect timing. I just about to go and call you." he offered her a bowl filled with dried fruit. "Here, eat."

Kagome accept the bowl and took a bite of the fruit. "They're sweet and tasty! What are they?" Kagome exclaimed.

"They are, aren't they? They are called honey-pickled jujubes." Kail told her.

"But if I eat these, I'll get fat."

"That's what they're for."

"Excuse me?"

"You are too skinny. I prefer my women plump. So, don't worry and just get fat." Kail smiled at her. "You're very beautiful for a child, but I'd like it if your chest grew to fit at least this hand." He splayed his finger over her breast. "Oh? You bound your chest to make it seem smaller." Kail gave her chest a squeeze. "Just how old are you?

"Why, you baka hentai! I'm 17!" Kagome was about to throw the jujubes at Kail but decided against it. "I'm not going to waste such treats on a pervert like you."

"I thought she was 14 or 15!" Kail turned from the angered woman.

"Me…me too!" Tito agreed.

"Geeze, the nerve of that hentai, just because I'm shorter than most women doesn't give him permission fatten me up and grope me." Crap! You baka hentai prince. Because of that I didn't get to say "Arigato."


"What? The queen took Kagome's clothing away?" Kail enquired.

"Yes, several other priests said they saw her." A guard groveled.

"I'm going there right now." Kagome turned, only to be yanked back by Kail.

"I told you to wait. At night the power of the dark is much stronger. You must not go out recklessly."

"Kail, but…"

"No, buts. It's the queen's trap. I'm not just some unrelated person in this matter. If your head goes, then the lives of my brother and I will likely forfeit as well. Until we can plan out a course of action. Be a good girl." Kail said in a deadpan voice.

Kagome glared at Kail before relenting. "Fine, you win." I'll go once everyone is asleep then.


"No, hell no. There are plenty of empty rooms in this palace. Why am I sleeping with you?" Kagome demanded with a heavy blush.

Kail looked at her with a bored look on his face, while holding on to her ankle. "I have a reputation as the greatest playboy in Hattusa, and yet I haven't laid a hand on you. I don't want anyone to know that."

"You…you…you…" Haven't laid a hand on me, huh? Then what was this morning. Dammit, if I stay here I can't sneak out!

"If you are going to complain about it like that, then fine. I'll "sleep" with you."

Kagome blushed, throwing the sheet over her head. "No thank you, Good night." Looks like I'll have to wait until Kail is asleep.

Kagome felt someone snuggle close to her, letting out a embarrassed 'eek' she tried to move away, but was held even tighter to Kail's body.


The queen cursed. "The girl's figure! I can't find it! Prince Kail is constantly by her side, so I can't get her alone. He's infuriating!" she raged. "She will need these clothes if she want to go back. Surely she will want them back and Kail is stopping her." The queen broke the thin wooden whip in half. "There's got to be a way to get her out of the prince's palace!"

The queen noticed the water was beginning to show an image. "Hm? I can see the girl's figure. How can it be? I see. The girl left the prince's side on her own. So, she plans to come here. We should prepare a warm welcome for her shouldn't we, Uruhi?"

"Yes, my queen."


Sorry, Kail, but I must get my clothes back. When I do you will send me back, right?

Kagome snuck out of Kail's room, making her way out of the palace. Turning a corner, her path was block as Tito came from behind a pillar. "Kagome-sama!"

"Tito-kun?"

"I knew it! You're planning to go to her majesty's palace. Aren't you? You cannot do that Kail-sama told you to wait, didn't he?"

"Tito-kun, I have to go. I need to get my clothes no matter what!"

"Kagome-sama!"

"Tito-kun, I have to go."

Tito was silent for a moment. "Fine. I get it. Then I'm going as well. First thing first, Kagome-sama, do you even know where the queen's palace is?" He handed her a pair of sandals and a dagger. "I didn't think so. That's why I'm going too."

"Are you sure?"

"Didn't I already say it? I'll do anything for Kagome-sama." Tito smiled.

"Thank you, Tito-kun."

The two of them began to run towards the queen's palace.

"You know the way you talk back to Kail-sama is amazing! My older sisters say that when they see Kail-sama's face they are at a loss for words." Tito commented.

"Tito-kun has older sisters?"

"Yep, three of them."

I shouldn't have let Tito-kun come with me. This could be dangerous.

"This choker. When I left home, my sisters gave it to me. It have my name engraved on it."

Okay, I've decided. "Your sisters are nice aren't they?" Kagome began trying to tap into the power the Shikon gave her. Please, Shikon here my wish. If any danger should happen, send Tito back to Kail's palace. He does not need to perish because of me.

"Yes, they are. Hey, over there is the queen's palace."

"That huge palace on the hill." Kagome gasped.

"The back door, its open, huh… Yeah it is. Ne, Kagome-sama, let's just go back home." Tito begged.

"We are going Tito-kun. As my Jii-chan used to say, 'All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them."

"I've never heard of that before!" Tito blanched

"Going right in…You've got some guts. You're not getting away from me this time!" The queen grinned evilly.

"I wonder where the queen put my clothes. There are several small temples in the palace…it might be in one of those."

"But Kagome-sama, the queen controls water, so please be careful" Tito warned.

"I know, Tito-kun, but it's just water after all. I just have to be careful to not get dragged in or let it get into my mouth…" Kagome trailed off as a movement in a pool caught their attention. No, it's not just water!

The water in the small pool leapt from it container, becoming sharp as a blade and pierced through Kagome's hand. "Shit!" The queen can use water to pierce my body?

"Oww…that really hurts." Kagome held her hand close to her chest.

"Kagome-sama, don't just sit there, there's a drainage system below you." Tito shouted.

"Drainage system?" she looked down. "Crap, more water!"

Kagome jumped out of the way, towards Tito.

"Kagome-sama, let's go back. We should leave this kind of thing to Kail-sama…"

"No! We got this far, I'm not leaving without my clothes." Kagome denied.

"Kagome-sama!"

"I'll be okay. I mustn't go near any water while I'm here…Huh?"

A large shadow appeared over Kagome's head, grabbing it and lifting her up. Crap, this guy too?

"You, brute! Let Kagome-sama go." That got Tito a sharp punch to the face.

"Let me go, baka! I said, lemme go!" Kagome swung her tiny gist into the large man's side.

"Oww! That hurt you pig. Don't you have any manners!" Kagome glared at the man before looking at her surroundings. My clothes!

"Such beautiful ivory skin you have…tis the first time I have seen such." the man leered at her as her grasped the top of her robe.

"What do you think you're doing? Let me go hentai!"

"Stop that! She is not yours to prey upon."

"You're that queen. Why hide your face? I can still tell that you're her." Kagome demanded.

"You needn't worry about such trivial matter. You sure have made me go to such troubles…this time your blood will flow from your neck." the queen chuckled darkly.

The man holding Kagome spoke up. "Give me this girl's body once you've slit her throat!"

"What would you do with it? She has none of the gold nor silver you desire so greatly." she asked.

"Her skin, this ivory skin. I want it. Her skin is pure like a newborn baby's." he grinned. My clothes are all hand made from the skins of the people I've killed." the man boasted. "The black is Nubian, the brown is Egyptian. I want to add this girl's skin, too. Allow me to tear her skin off!"

My…skin? The sick sadistic bastard!

"I have no use for her body once I've drained her blood, do as you wish." the queen relented. "Now hurry. Hurry and slit the throat."

The man ran his tongue up her collarbone. "This skin will be mine."

"You disgusting bastard." That was worse than mistress centipede! "This is crazy! Killing me and placing a death curse on the princes is complete madness." Kagome screeched.

The queen chuckled. "Those princes will die in great agony. Tis a shame I won't be able to show you their agonizing deaths. O, water god of mine! Now, receive this girl's blood!"

"No!" I was supposed to try and find a way to see Inuyasha again! I don't want to die. Images of her family flashed through her mind. Mama, Jii-chan, Souta. Images of her family in the feudal era came next. Sango-chan, Miroku-sama, Kaede-baa-chan, Shippo-chan. Finally the image of Inuyasha's gentle smile came. Inuyasha!

"Grant my heart's wish in return for this blood." the queen continued. "Make this girl's head fall!"

One more image came to Kagome, one that greatly surprised her. Kail! "Noooo! Stop this!"

Tito rushed in the room and stabbed the man holding Kagome in the back with the dagger. He then proceeded to shove his head down on to the queen's basin.

"No! My water basin!"

What the hell was that? Why the last person I thought about was Kail and not Inuyasha?

Kagome-sama, hurry up and run!" Tito called back.

I shouldn't' worry about it too much. Kail is just a pervert. I'm going to return to my feudal family and Inuyasha! So my clothes. Kagome ran forward.

"Kagome-sama!"

Reaching with her injured hand, Kagome grabbed her clothes just as the man managed to throw Tito off of him.

"My clothes!" I can return back to Japan!

"Kagome-sama, this way. Hurry!"

"Right!"

The queen was furious. "I can't control the water if my basin is empty! Zuwa, chase after them You must catch her.!"

"Yes! I got my clothes back, I can finally go back!" Kagome hugged the blue dress closer to her.

"That's great Kagome-sama!" Tito cheered. "But to tell you the truth, I want you to stay here…because there's no one like you in this country."

"Tito-kun…"

"If you go back Kail-sama will miss you, too."

That made Kagome flush. "Kail will not miss me. He thinks that I am an impatient brat." He will most likely go back to all his beautiful lovers…

As they passed over the drainage system once more, hands grabbed Kagome's ankles. "Kyaaah!"

Zuwa licked her leg. "I'm not letting you get away, little girl."

"Bastard. Release me!"

Tito rushed forward and stabbed Zuwa in his hand. "Kagome-sama hurry and het outside! Once you get out of the palace even the queen can't cause a huge distruabance!"

"Tito-kun. Okay."

Zuwa grabbed Kagome by the shoulders once, but Tito intervened. "Kagome-sama! Hurry and go!"

Tito-kun, No!"

"You little runt! You've interfered too many times! I'll tear your skin off!" Zuwa threatened.

"Kagome-sama, thank you for saving my life. I was truly happy." Tito smiled at her.

"Tito-kun, what are you saying. Ah!"

Tito pushed Kagome out of the door, tossing her shoe with her.

"Kagome-sama! Good luck!"

The door slammed after a 'You brat!' was heard from Zuwa.

"Tito-kun!" Shikon, please, save Tito-kun! Don't allow that vile man to take Tito-kun's skin.

You…do you really want you skin ripped off?" Zuwa asked threateningly.

The last thing Tito saw was a brilliant flash of pale purple before everything went dark.


"The Impudent bitch!"

"Uhh…he used that word." Kikkuri sighed.

"That little brat made sure that I was asleep, then she snuck out." Kail ranted.

"Kail-sama! Tito is missing as well."

The blonde haired prince cursed. "Damn it! Now, I won't get to visit my beautiful princesses tonight. Why the hell do I bother watching over her?"

"But, Kail-sama, you seem to enjoy being with Kagome-sama more than any other princess." Kikkuri said.

Kail flushed. "What? Me? Don't…don't say such foolish thing! Gather my troop, Kikkuri. Don't use horses. We'd wake the city." With the blush still intact he directed, "Kagome probably went to the queen's palace. We'll bring her back before she get caught."

"Yes, sir!"

A ball of pale purple light floated in front of Kail and his guards, revealing Tito, holding a dagger in front of him. "Tito, where is Kagome?" Kail asked

"Kail-sama! Why am I back here? I was about to be killed by Zuwa?" Tito questioned, looking at his hands.


Kagome was running down the city, back towards Kail's palace. Please have worked. I can't bear to lose Tito-kun. he was my first friend since I came here."

Someone called out her name. Looking up she saw Kail running towards her.

"Kail!" Kagome was almost happy to see him, but someone else caught her attention. "Tito-kun! You're safe!"

Kagome ran and embraced the child to her chest. "Thank goodness. I couldn't bear to lose you Tito-kun." she cried.

Tito pulled away from her. "Kagome-sama how am I alive? Zuwa was about to rip my skin from my body."

"Uhm…" Kagome looked around and saw that everyone was looking at her. "I'll explain later. Let's just go back to the palace." she hugged her clothes to her chest.


Kail pressed his mouth onto Kagome's in a fevered kiss.

I just only returned from being almost killed and he's being a hentai again.

When Kail released her he held her tight. "Don't you ever do that again."

"K…Kail?" she looked at him with heavy lidded eyes.

The blonde prince pulled away with a blush. "How could you be so foolish and go into the queen's domain? You could have been killed, then my brothers and I would have forfeited."

Kagome puffed her cheeks out. "Well, sorry for wanting to get my clothes back. I happen to want to go back to Japan. So, that I won't have to see your face again!"

"Fine, when the morning star rises, you can go home and be out of my sight!" Kail left the room.

Kagome sighed as the blush she was fighting broke through. "Kail no baka."


"Kagome-sama? Are you awake? You have a visitor." Tito called from behind the door.

"Come on in Tito-kun."

Tito entered her room along with Kail and a man with greenish-blonde hair in a long sectioned ponytail with green eyes.

Kail addressed her firmly, still angry about last night. "Kagome this is Ilbani, my most trusted adviser."

Kagome glared at Kail before turning a bright smile to Ilbani. "Hello Ilbani-san. It is nice to meet you."

Ilbani looked at her with serious eyes, before cracking a small smile of his own. "Likewise, Kagome sama. I am here to inform you that the morning star will rise tomorrow morning, please be prepared for your departure."

Ilbani stopped to have quick word with Tito and the two of them left Kail and Kagome alone.

"Kail."

"Kagome."

They continued to stare each other down, willing for the other to yield. Soon, Kagome's kind and forgiving heart finally took over and she was the one who apologized first.

"Kail, look, I'm sorry for disobeying your orders. You was right, if I had been killed then you and the other princes would have to pay for my foolishness. Can you ever forgive me?"

Kail's amber eyes soften as he stepped forward and held her close. "I forgave you the moment I saw that you were alive."

Kagome sighed and snuggled deeper into his embrace. This may be the last time I will ever see Kail. I better make the most of it.


There, you go, the second chapter. I wanted to update earlier because I found out that I will not be able to post anything until next week. So I hope you enjoy this chapter.

P.S. I could not let Tito-chan die, he was the girl's first friend!

Please review! Thank you, TLK.
