Chapter 8

The truth coming out…?
 

 Previous chapter:

" Sesshoumaru… why did you have to lie? Could she not at least have heard the truth?" Inuyasha asked angrily.

"The truth would have caused her to suicide." Sesshoumaru said from behind Inuyasha.

~ "And this won't?"~ Inuyasha thought sadly.

"Come now Inuyasha the suitors must be taken to there rooms."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Welcome lords to Higurashi Castle." King Higurashi yelled happily as many young man came into the castle.

"Your highness, there is no need for this big fiasco, I will win easily." A man with dark hair and a slicky (Think Snape Harry Potter) voice said.

"Naraku I know I have no doubt but I must give the other men a chance.

"Highness what shall we do with the luggage?" Sesshoumaru asked with Inuyasha behind him.

"Take each belonging to the finest rooms, and inform Kaeda to bring Kagome down, the child has been in her room all day." The king said annoyed.

"Yes sir." Sesshoumaru said with a hint of anger.

"That man has no right!" Inuyasha said angrily as they left the castle hall.

"Inuyasha…" Sesshoumaru said sternly, "I agree with you but you must not get yourself in trouble again.

"Yes brother."

*knock*knock*

"Lady Kaeda you must have the princess ready the king wishes to see her." Sesshoumaru said knocking on Kagomes door.

The door opened to show the old women, "Nay he mustn't call for her now, I can t find her and she will be in much trouble if her father finds out." Kaeda said worriedly.

Inuyasha snorted, "Her father." He spat, "he is no father."

"Aye I agree lord Inuyasha but just the same I worry for the princess." Kaeda said upset.

"I know were the princess is." Sesshoumaru said, "but I can not go get her."

"Where is she lord Sesshoumaru I'll go and get her instantly." Sango said from behind Kaeda.

"In the training field." Sesshoumaru said and with that walked away.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"Princess!!!!" Sango yelled as she noticed Kagome in the distance.

"NO!" Sango gasped as she noticed her passed out on the ground, "Princess?"

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"I want her to come down NOW!!!!" King Higarashi yelled as Kaeda blocked him from the room.

"Highness I'm sorry but the child is very ill, can you give her a little time?" Kaeda said a bit angrily ~ "he can wait the horrid man."~

"I'll give her another hour but sick or not she better come down!!" The yelled out and left.

"Noo INUYASHA!!!!" Kagome yelled in her sleep.

"Inuyasha? The king heard as he walked away,  ~ "maybe I need to send him away again."

"Kagome what ails you child?" Kaeda said talking to the sleeping body.

"Kagome please wake up." Sango said putting a damp cloth to Kagomes head.

Kagome stirred slightly, "Inuyasha?"

"She must stop calling out his name." Kaeda said, "if the king hears he'll be suspicious."

"Lady KAGOME PLEASE WAKE UP!" Sango yelled.

Kagome bolted up, "what what happened, where am I?" she asked looking around.

"Kagome-chan?" Sango asked worriedly.

"Sango…? Sango nooooo!" Kagome sobbed, hugging her friend dearly.

"Kagome whats wrong?" Kaeda asked.

"In…in….inu….Inuyasha is engaged…." Kagome said, her lips trembling.

"What?!" Both Kaeda and Sango exclaimed.

"Well maybe that's just for the better, you need to think of your future as well." Kaeda murmured.

"What are you talking about? I dreamed of always being with Inuyasha… its not FAIR!" Kagome yelled angrily.

"Child you must think of your own future." Kaeda said.

"My future was with him, now I don't have a future." Kagome said pouting.

"Kagome…there are many men down in the hall here to see you. grace them with your presence." Sango said encouragingly.

Kagome scowled at Sango, "why don't you choose someone, I'd rather never marry. I'll stay single." Kagome said staring out the window.

"BAKA YOU WILL MARRY YOU GAKI!!!" Inuyasha yelled banging open the door

"Inuyasha? What are you doing here!? GET OUT!" Kagome yelled angrily.

"Kagome you have to marry." Inuyasha said in somewhat of a begging tone.

"Sango, Kaeda leave us now!" Kagome said harshly.

"Aye milady." They chorused.

"Why do you wish to hurt me more Inuyasha?" Kagome asked icily as the two left the room.

"Kagome," he said more gently, "I think I need to tell you the truth."

Kagome stared at him coldly, " I'm listening."

"You see, I always liked you as a friend for the longest time, but I met someone else during my knight training, so you need to move on like I have." Inuyasha said sincerely.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome cried happily.

"Yes?"

"YOUR LYING!!" she yelled.

"WHAT!?!?!?! HOW CAN YOU TELL?" Inuyasha asked shocked.

"I've known you but if you say that you don't want to be with me, then fine, go be with who you want to be with! I'll marry someone else HAPPY!?" She yelled, crossing her arms.

~ "I love you Kagome."~ Inuyasha smiled at Kagome, "okay then I'll be on my way highness."

Kagome grimaced, "never speak to me again Inuyasha, I'm just asking for this favor."

Inuyasha tensed up as he turned to the door, " Kagome, as you wish." Inuyasha said defeatedly.

"Kaeda fetch my clothes." Kagome cried, "I' m ready to meet my suitors."
