I don't own InuYasha

Chapter 3: Revenge

InuYasha was in a panic. Kagome was missing and he had no idea where she could have gone. He went all over the hut. When he could not find her, he decided to look outside. 'Maybe she went out for a walk?' thought InuYasha. He went out the door. The sun was shining brightly. He couldn't really blame her if she wanted to go for a walk. It was a nice day and it was better than staying inside the dark and smelly attic. "Hey InuYasha," said Miroku. He just came back from his short walk "Are you going for a walk too?"

"No. I'm just looking for something." Replied InuYasha

"Oh. Well then, have you seen Sango?" asked Miroku.

"No, sorry Miroku. I didn't see her in the hut too." InuYasha was getting annoyed, 'this is just wasting time' he thought. All of a sudden, InuYasha and Miroku heard female voices coming from the infirmary hut. They rushed there at once, they opened the door to find a startled Sango bandaging the wounds of an equally startled Kagome.

"Kagome, I was looking all over for you!!" Cried InuYasha.

"Sorry, Sango found me in the attic and brought me here." Replied Kagome.

"W..wait. Princess Kagome?!" said Miroku very much confused.

"You know her?" asked InuYasha.

"Know her," replied Sango "We were her friends before we became outlaws." Sango told InuYasha and Kagome what happened to them before they became outlaws. Kagome was shocked. "So Prince Kouga had us turned into outlaws so we couldn't tell Kagome his plan." Finished Sango.

"That Bastard! He already turned us into outlaws. Maybe you might be next Kagome." Said InuYasha.

"Prince Kouga is the reason why I'm here in the first place." Replied Kagome, unamused at the things Prince Kouga was doing to her friends.

"What do you mean?" asked InuYasha.

"I mean, ever since he met me before my 14th birthday, he's been trying to eliminate any guy that might have a chance of 'winning' me." Said Kagome. InuYasha got a bit of a shock. He got turned into an outlaw because he was competition for Prince Kouga.

"Bastard" was all he could say.

"Well then, we might as well do our best to make sure you don't get married to Prince Kouga." Said Miroku.

"Yes." Said Sango, "We must make sure Kagome doesn't marry that terrible Prince Kouga, Otherwise."

"Otherwise what Sango?" asked Kagome.

"Never mind, it's not important. For now." Said Sango. Kagome looked at her friends, her smile faded. She was truly grateful, but she could not get them into trouble even if it's for a good cause.

"Inuyasha, everyone, I don't know if I can stay here," she said. Everyone stared at her in shock. "I am grateful," she began "It's just that, what if they find me here? They'll put you in the dungeons for kidnapping. I don't know what I'll do if that happens to you." InuYasha walked over to Kagome and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Kagome," he began "I may not have known you for as long as Sango and Miroku have, but I know one thing." Kagome looked at InuYasha curiously. "Nothing and no one will ever marry you off to some low down damn wolf! Not even Prince Kouga can get to you because I'll personally make sure that doesn't happen!" cried InuYasha.

"The same goes for us." Said Miroku.

"Yeah," said Sango "You're our friend. We've got your back,"

"And I've got yours." Finished Kagome. She smiled at the thought of her friends doing something for her out of their own will. Tears started forming in her eyes. "Thank you!" she cried "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"

***

Kagome enjoyed her new temporary life, but sometimes she would wonder how long it would take until she was found. She didn't think about it too much for she was busy helping out everyone. She would help Sango get berries, nuts and other ingredients that are easy to get. She would help in cleaning the hut and doing the laundry. She would even help gather firewood with InuYasha and Miroku. Everyone thought that she was doing a good job. "Hey Kagome," said InuYasha, Kagome stopped gathering firewood and walked over to InuYasha. "Yes?" she asked.

"I was wondering, are you free tonight?" asked InuYasha. Kagome looked at InuYasha puzzled.

"Yes I am. Why?" said Kagome. InuYasha blushed, he took Kagome's hand and pulled her close enough so he could whisper in her ear.

"I'll show you later. Meet me near the stream tonight." Whispered InuYasha, and he walked off.

Kagome stood in the forest lost in a daze. 'I wondered what that was all about?' she asked herself. Kagome picked up the pieces of wood she left on the ground and she slowly walked down the road toward the hut. She sighed. InuYasha was really kind to her, but she did not understand the fact that he was always hiding things from her. She knew he trusted her all right, but there were some things that he didn't tell her. She didn't dwell on those thoughts for long. 'After all, everyone has the right to keep secrets right?' she asked herself. Kagome went into the storehouse and placed the firewood along the ground where she placed the rest of the firewood she gathered that day.

"Kagome!" Cried Sango from the kitchen, "Can you come, I need some help over here!" Kagome left the storehouse and headed for the hut.

***

Prince Kouga was mad, no furious. He was furious that his bride; Princess Kagome was missing and he was even more furious when he got word that Kagome could be in the Shikon Forest. "Why can't the guards at the Queen's castle do anything right!" He yelled, "Right now, my princess could be lying on the ground in pools of her own blood, or her body might be lying at the bottom of a river somewhere or, or….."

"Or her bones and her remains could be found in a cave where a bear used to live?" finished Ginta, one of his advisors.

Hakaku nudged Ginta in the ribs and whispered "You're not helping the Prince you moron!" Prince Kouga looked at Ginta and agreed, it was a possibility though, but Prince Kouga thought it was best not to think about that.

"Hey, isn't Shikon Forest the place where you banished Lord InuYasha, Lord Miroku and Lady Sango?" asked Hakaku. Prince Kouga glared at Hakaku for he was right, that was the place where he banished those meddlesome aristocrats. Hatred and anger burned up inside him, for a possible reason to why the Princess Kagome was hiding away so well, could be the fact that Lord InuYasha and those other two aristocrats found her and were planning to tell her the truth.

"Those bastards!" Cried Prince Kouga, "They will rue the day that they stole my Princess from me! I will see to it that they are executed, immediately! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!!!!"
