Chapter 3: Two Sides to Inuyasha

Dreams of sweet memories dance around Kagome's mind as she slumbered alone in the room she was confined to. She'd been ordered - by the, pig-headed-jerk of a king, named Inuyasha - to stay in her room until called down to eat or do chores. Kagome hadn't said a word to him since last night in the kitchen, but now she didn't care. All she wanted was to revisit the time where her family was whole and she was free to do what she willed.

Muttering to herself in deep slumber she twisted around viscously. The sweet dream she had been preoccupied with had turned bad. Inuyasha had appeared in her dream standing over her with a wicked smile of evil. Kagome looked up angry but then a wave of horror and shock crossed her face. He was holding a wedding vale over her, descending it upon her head. She turned again in her sleep she tossed away her silk sheets. Grunting and groaning she thrashed around, as if she stopped moving a monster would take it's chance and slash her throat.

In her dream Inuyasha was pulling her by her hand down an isle. Looking to her right and left she saw smiling faces of demons and humans alike giving their blessings to this horror wedding. She tried to tug her arm out of his grasp but his strength over took her's and forced her to talk to the priest. Shouting her protest Kagome wriggled her body, trying to rid herself of Inuyasha's touch. "No...No...n-no...NOOOOOO!" Kagome screamed nearly shaking the whole castle into a state of question. Inuyasha flew up the stairs from the main hall, bursting her doors nearly off the hinges.

He watched as his "prisoner" thrashed around for dear life. Shippo, Kirara, and Tinya had came in after Inuyasha and shot like bullets, they crowded around her. Kagome gave one last hard thrash before shooting to a sit up possition. Tears of cold sweat drapped down her face as she panted. The little ones had been flung to the edges of the bed and onto the floor. Peeking up at Kagome they watched her place a hand over her left brest, where her heart refused to calm down.

"Kagome, are you ok?" Shippo asked as he ventured onto the bed again and over to Kagome's side. Kagome looked at him and relized where she was. Not longer in the haze of horror and confusion Kagome took in her surrounding and those near here. Kirara and Tinya were staring along with Shippo up at her with concern. She smiled an 'I'm ok' at them then looked over towards her nearly broken doors. Glaring she saw the spaun of Satan, himself - Inuyasha. Twisting her attention back to the children she missed the flash of relief in Inuyasha's eyes when he saw that she was still angry with him.

"You sure you're ok, Lady Kagome?" Tinya asked with a small meow from Kirara. Kagome looked at the children and smiled warm-heartedly.

"I'm fine! Really, I just had a nightmare and that's all. So don't worry ok?" Kagome smiled again and turned to get out of bed. the silk nightgown that Tinya's mother had made was Kagome's only choice and she was ok with that. What she wasn't ok with was the floor. Dispite her warm bed the floor was not as warm to the bare skin. Shreecking Kagome shot back into her bed.Kagome looked over at the three little demons whom were laughing at her. She blinked then glared at them playfully. "Hey you laughin at me?" Kagome asked as she inched towards them. Jerking up they glanced at each other then back at Kagome. Taking an odd position like a tiger Kagome lunged at the children, all while Inuyasha stood in the dark part of the room smiling at the strange human as she played the morning away with the three small demons.

"Aww! That was so relaxing!" Kagome cried with a smile. She had just gotten do taking a bath with her newly found friend Miya. Kagome looked over at Miya and smiled brightly. "Thanks for letting use the bath. I really needed it." Kagome said as she sighed. "That pig-headed jerk kept me doing chores ever since a hit him with that frying pan." Kagome said as she remembered what was going on three days ago.
Flash Back
"Kagome! You've been here for a month!" Shippo and the other little children cried as they threw up scraps of colored paper. Kagome had gotten dress and walked down stairs to a large, but quite little, celebration of her coming to the castle one month before. She smiled and thanked them and told them they didn't need to go through the trouble. They all just said it was worth it, and that she needed somthing like this to cheer her up since Inuyasha was being so rude and not letting go out side and play with everyone.

"Really, it's ok! We all enjoy having you as our guest! Besides Shippo and the other little ones have been raving about giving you a party for weeks. They really want you to feel at home." A few of the elder demons said as the made Kagome give in and enjoy the whole celebration. After an hour had gone by Kagome noticed Inuyasha hadn't been seen. Asking around she found out he had been in the kitchen pouting.

Finding this a little hard to believe(I wonder why -.-) Kagome went to seek the demon kind out and see for herself. Her task seemed to become more difficult then she thought. As she tried to make her way to the kitchen demons she had befriended stopped her to talk and some where just wasted and were trying to hit on her for a night of fun and games. Kagome pushed past others as she finally neared the kitchen. She'd never thought that there were so many people living within the castle.

"Kagome! Kagome! Come over here! We have a present for you!" Shippo shouted from a little ways away. Kagome wanted to find Inuyasha but she could put him off until later. Moving towards Shippo, Kagome asked what he needed again.

"Kagome, we got you a present least week! We hope you like it, Inuyasha said we could give you the...a...gift!" Tinya said trying not to say what the gift was. Kagome and others laughed as they handed the small box to her. Turning the box over she heard a thud.

"I wonder what it is." Kagome said smiling sweetly. Stripping the box of the decorated colored paper she poped the top open. Instantly Kagome's eyes grew large with amazment and aw. Inside the small box was a neckless. Every inch or so a small diamond would link the chain of gold together. A small clasp in the back marked the middle and directly straight across from the clasp was a round jewel. Kagome watched as she twirled the jewel around making it sparkle like an energist.

"Do you like it?" Shippo asked lowly. Kagome looked at him and smiled brightly.

"Oh, Shippo! It's perfict! I simply love it!" Kagome shrieked as she hugged Shippo tightly. "It's so beautiful." Kagome exclaimed as she wrapped it around her neck and clasped the two ends together. The jewel sparked pink with her movements, seeming to leave specks of pixie dust after her like a trail. "Does anyone know where Inuyasha is? I'd like to thank him too." Kagome said as they nodded.

"He's up stairs, he left about a few seconds ago." Kina said as her tail twitched. Kagome thanked her and walked to the stairs and bounded up them two stairs at a time. Everyone watched as Kagome walked with a slightly newly found spring with each step she took.

Making her way to Inuyasha's little solitary room Kagome heard a loud thunk against the walls. Jumping sideways Kagome started wide-eyed at the wall then quickly ran to the doors. Opening the doors Kagome peeked in. She watched as Inuyasha tossed clothes and books, and papers every which way. Stepping into the room Inuyasha's left doggie ear twitched and he stood up and looked back at her.

"What?" He asked as he turned fully around to her. Kagome blinked and quickly bowed. "What was that for?" Inuyasha asked raising a brow.

"Thank you." She said lightly. Looking up she saw the question in his eyes. "Shippo said that you ok him giving me this neckless." Kagome said as he looked down at her chest. She was hopeing it was the jewel he was looking at and not her chest. He looked back up at her and smirked.

"So he did give it to you." Inuyasha said more to himself than to her. Kagome nodded non the less and backed up.

"Sorry if I distrbed you." Kagome said as she tried to reach back for the door knob. Inuyasha walked over and grabbed her but the shoulders.

"You loss that necklessand I'll kill you..." Inuyasha said cooly. Kagome looked at him and growled not letting him finish his sentence. She had heard enought. Reaching up Kagome smashed a metal frying pan down on his skull. Falling to the floor he groaned.

"Thanks for the warning you jerk!" Kagome shouted as she opened the doors and slamed them closed after her.

End of Flash Back
"Now I kinda feel bad for what I did." Kagome sighed as Miya smiled slightly. Up ahead Kagome and Miya saw Inuyasha standing against the wall as if waiting for 'someone'. Kagome lowered her eyes looking bored and not willing to listen.

"Kagome, I've gotta go through my rounds." Miya said as Kagome looked over at her.

"What? But I thought you had the day off." Kagome said as Miya shook her head, 'no'.

"Sorry Kagome, but I gotta go. I'll see you later." Miya said as she disappeared. Miya was a sorceress and was able to teleport. Kagome sighed as she walked forward trying to pass Inuyasha.

"Hey, Kagome, I need to talk to you." Inuyasha said as she stopped. Looking at her, he saw she still wasn't to happy with him. "I'm sorry." Inuyasha said puffing his chest full of air. Kagome gasped slightly as he heard him say thoese words.

"What?" Kagome asked quickly.

"I said, I'm sorry. I didn't mean my warning to sound like a threat." Inuyasha said as he figited. Scratching the back of his head was one of his many nervous movements. Kagome watched him and tried not to laugh at him.

"What did you mean to say then?" Kagome asked rasing a brow slightly.

"I meant to say, that jewel was my mother's. So try no to loss the neckless." Inuyasha said as he turnedaway. Kagome blinked and then reach out to him.

"Hey, I'm sorry to. I didn't mean to hit you with the frying pan." Kagome said as Inuyasha smiled slightly.

"Where'd you get the frying pan anyways?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome smiled shyly as a comical sweatdrop formed on her bangs abover her left eye.

"Heh heh heh." Kagome laughed nervously.
