Chapter 7 – Kagome's Life Just Got Even More Complicated

That night, Kagome had a hard time sleeping. Why? Because of the Tashio brothers. They both kissed her on the same day! And the thing was, she enjoyed it. She enjoyed Inuyasha's kiss. She must be out of her mind! Why the hell would she enjoy that kiss then? She's supposedly in love with Sesshomaru for god's sake!

But…she thought back to the kiss. It was sweet and gentle. Quite unexpected of someone like Inuyasha. She didn't expect him to be such a great kisser. Okay, so maybe she did, since Inuyasha did woo her sister in, but that's not the point. The point was her life just became more complicated than before. Before, she had to worry about liking Sesshomaru, the brother of her sister's killer.

But now, how is she supposed to avenge Kikyou when she is attracted to the devil (Inuyasha) himself? No, this is just a spur of a moment thing, Kagome thought desperately. I'm not in love with him, I'm not in love with him, she chanted to herself over and over again. Once I get back my regular mindset, I'll see that it's just a spur of the moment thing. The one I like is Sesshomaru!

With that in mind, Kagome turned off her lights and went to sleep, not knowing that her life is going to be even more complicated than before. Not only will she have to find herself torn in between the two Tashio brothers, but also she will find another person that will declare his love for her. And that person is Kouga Hitomi.

Kouga thought about it over. Did he really want to do this? Is it worth risking their friendship? She's in the middle of a crisis for goodness' sake! But he felt like he couldn't wait any longer. As reasonable as he is, love is something that he just can't control. He just had to get it off his chest. He had to tell her, to reveal his feelings. Making up his mind, he determinedly stepped onto the Higurashi castle and waited for Kagome to come down.

"Kouga," Kagome said sleepily. "You're here so early!"

"Yeah, sorry about that. Should I come by later?"

"Nah, it's okay," she yawned. "What did you want to tell me?"

"Well," he said with an anxious look on his face. "I've loved you for a long time Kagome!"

"Eh?!" she said, and fainted.

"Too much. This is too much to take. First Sesshomaru kisses me without my consent. Inuyasha then ends our date with a goodnight kiss, and now my best friend declares his love for me? Is the world ending or something?"

"Maybe," Kouga commented. "Considering that it's quite impossible for 3 good looking guys to fall in love with a tomboy like you."

"Yeah," she said. "Hey wait a minute that was an insult!" she said angrily, throwing a pillow at him.

"Just kidding," he teased. "But I'm serious about the love," he told her with a serious face.

'That's not good' Kagome thought. Kouga is rarely serious. 'Oh man, what should I do? My head hurts!'

Thankfully, or maybe unfortunately, depending on the viewpoint, her conversation with Kouga got interrupted by one of her maidservants. "Princess Kagome," the maidservant reported. "His highness wants you at the royal study right away."

"I wonder what Daddy wants," Kagome frowned. Her dad rarely called her into the royal study.

"Kouga," Kagome started. Kouga cut her off. "I know Kagome. I'll leave for now. Just think about it okay? I should return to the North anyways. Bye Kagome," he said and left.

"Bye," she said solemnly.

But she didn't even have time to think about Kouga's love confession because her dad just announced to her that for a good alliance between the Northeast and East kingdoms, Kagome would travel to the East as an Ambassador to maintain good relations between the two kingdoms. She will be staying at Tashio Kingdom's castle for 2 weeks. 'Great, just great' she thought. Although, she figured that she could use this opportunity to her advantage. It's a good opportunity for revenge after all. With this in mind, she accepted her father's invitation to go to the East as an Ambassador.

A/N: Alright. What do you guys think? Please read and review! If people review quickly enough, I might update the next chapter more quickly! *hint hint* btw, I need some suggestions of where Inuyasha should take Kagome for a tour around the castle. Yes, Inuyasha is going to be the tour guide. After all, he is the crown prince, so it's his duty. I was thinking Inuyasha can take her horseback riding and do a picnic thing, bake cookies or some food (since they are going to be by themselves w/ each other during the daytime anyways since Inutashio and his wife have an agenda to attend to, and Sesshy is taking care of his father's work for him and comes home late). I need suggestions though! The more the better! Because the more i have, the more seducing scenes I can write! I'll be relying on everyone's help! Thanks for reading my fic!
