Hello all my peeps! Yes yes, I have updated! Everyone celebrate! Okay, first off, I am very sorry that I have kept you waiting. I have been very busy with school and have homework every night. So again, if the next update isn't for a while, then I appoligize in advance. And also, my spellcheck is down, so there might be spelling errors here and there. And by the way, I didn't get very many reviews for my last chapter. Enough guilt trips. On with the chapter!


A "Polite" Dinner

Kagome sighed. She really didn't want to, but she had to. She had no choice. In this castle, it was obey the king, or die. And she prefered obeying the king to getting her head chopped off.

The raven-haired princess paced back and forth in her room. Her wound had been healing nicely lately, but it was still far from being fully repared. The reason she was pacing? Why, the king had offered her to join them for dinner. Okay, it was more like commanded, but what the heck. She didn't want to be rude, so she quickly accepted.

She flipped through all the dresses in the musty closet. Of course she had none with her, so she was to wear one of the queen's.

'Come to think of it,' thought Kagome, 'I haven't seen the queen yet. I wonder where she is.'

The girl finally came to a decision to wear a soft green dress. After all, green was her favorite color.

After she had finished doing her hair and makeup, she heard a loud knock at the door. "Let me guess, it's the almighty prince," she said sarcastically.

"So you aren't as stupid as I took you for wench. Well, I gotta give you credit for that at least."

The princess sighed and opened the door to reveal her "prince charming."

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked curtly.

"Duh, you have dinner with us. I was coming to get you."

They made their way out of the door. Inuyasha turned to Kagome. "By the way, if he says anything...gross...don't be too offended. That's just the way he is."

Kagome nodded and gulped. 'Oh God, I hope he isn't as bad as Inuyasha makes him out to be. He might be even worse than Miroku!'

------

The table was silent. Kagome eyes flicked from one person to another, staring at what they would do next. The silence was very akward(sp?) for her. Back at her castle, the dinner table was always loud and joyous. But here? No.

She sighed again and decided she'd better eat something. She stabbed a piece of chicken with her fork and plopped it in her mouth.

The king suddenly cleared his throut, making everyone jump. "So, princess, how do you like the castle so far?"

Kagome swallowed and wiped her mouth. "I like it very much sir."

The king fiddled with his food. "And what about my son?"

Kagome choked on her piece of bread. She managed to get it down and then fluttered her eyelashes. "He's very nice your highness," she gasped, turning a little pink.

The king laughed, making the whole room rumble. "Well, I'm glad you think that!" He turned to his son who sat beside him, noting the blush spreading across his cheeks. This made him laugh even harder until he was gasping for air.

Everyone at the table rolled their eyes and waited patiently for the king to stop laughing. He stopped and cleared his throut again. "So, I expect you two to sleep together tonight-"

Kagome, hearing the words 'sleep' and 'together' used in the same sentence, spit out her wine that she was drinking, spewing it all over Inuyasha.

The boy spluttered before exploding.

"DAD! DON'T SAY THAT!" Then he added very quietly, "You're embarassing me."

Miroku, who had appeared without anyone noticing, said in a perverted yet intelligent tone, "Why of course. It's been very obvious that they've wanted to this whole time."

"WHAT?!" This time Kagome exploded. "If you think I want to sleep with a creep like that, you have brain issues!"

"And if you think I want to sleep with a wench like that your brain doesn't have issues, it's mush!" added Inuyasha.

The soon-to-be couple then huffed and turned back to their meal. Miroku, who didn't hear a word they said, turned to the raven-haired girl, and, to Inuyasha's horror, grabbed her hand and clasped his own over it.

Inuyasha twitched in the background as Miroku got ready to say his favorite line. 'Oh Lord,' he thought, 'Kagome's going to go insane if he says that!'

"My dear Kagome," he started out. The princess's cheeks hinted pink and a small growl escaped Inuyasha's throut. He was ready to yell out 'Get your hands off my women, monk!' but caught himself. 'Duh, if I said that everyone would know that I...I...have a crush on Kagome...'

"Will you be so kind as to bear my children?" )cue bloodcurdling scream)
