Kagome tiptoed down the corridors of the castle, as quietly as she could. Even in a castle of demons, some humans also roamed around for Queen Izayoi, their super hearing could make them run a mock at the slightest noise. She was in a silk blue robe of course she wore pj's under, but the robe made her feel most comfortable. Kagome and Inuyasha's mother became fast friends, Izayoi reminded her more of her mother's demeanor. Izayoi also loved to tease her and Inuyasha's relationship, even if they didn't admit that they were starting to have feelings for one another, she surely noticed it by their awkward silence between each other after the problem the encountered a month ago when the band of demons tried to kidnap her.

King InuTaisho was more like Inuyasha, strong and kind to people. He was a very powerful leader and king to that of his kingdom.

"Kikyo?" she heard the name and she quickly stiffened up at the voice. Kagome slowly turned around and let out a sigh of relief to reveal that Inuyasha was standing behind her. "What are you doing up so early wench?" he asked her.

Kagome crossed her arms,"Still going on with that I see and I'm going to the kitchen to make myself something to eat."

Inuyasha cocked his head to the side,"I thought there's a reason why we have servants."

"But if we don't do something, then what will happen when we have to go out in the world and do things for ourselves. We won't always have someone to do our things," Kagome informed him as they strolled down the halls to the direction of the kitchen. Inuyasha thought about it and he stubbornly turned his head to the side, letting out a signature keh.

"Now, let's see what we can have for breakfast," she said as they walked into the kitchen and Kagome was looking at different recipes. "Why don't we go for the classic breakfast. Fruits, pancakes and other yummy food," she said with a smile.

"Since when did you learn how to cook?" Inuyasha asked her as she cracked some eggs and started to make omelets. He sniffed the air, a delicious aroma of the food she was starting to make made it very had for him not to space out and just take it all for himself, he was drooling over the food that he so badly wanted to eat. Kagome looked at him and giggled,"By myself and you'll have to wait mister drool-face." Inuyasha blushed and scowled at her, turning his back on her.

"Yash, can you pass me two other eggs please," Kagome said, pouring in two thirds of a cup of milk in a bowl. Inuyasha stared at her when she called him 'Yash' but quickly dismissed it as he passed the said items to her.

"Thank you."

Kagome cracked them and placed them in the milk, she then put in a pinch of salt, followed by a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon with a teaspoon of vanilla extract. "What'cha makin?" Inuyasha asked staring at her as she mixed the ingredients together. Kagome smiled and looked at him,"You'll wait and see." He groaned and sat down watching her contently as she walked around here and there. She got out a bag of bread and cut them in thick slices, then dunking each side the bowl.

She quickly went over to the skillet and buttered it over as she placed it on medium heat. Placing the soaking eighteen slices of bread until they were golden brown which took about fifteen minutes. Once they were ready in a full of twenty minutes, she cut some strawberries with blueberries and began to set the table, walking in and out of the dining room.

Inuyasha sniffed the air and it melt amazing he wanted to dig in as he sat down. "Hey aren't cha going to eat too?" he asked, he was about to pick up a slice when a hand slapped his hand softly. "Not yet, hold in your appetite dog boy and wait for your parents, they must be starved as well," Kagome said to him, putting omelets on each plate. She set one for Miroku and Sango as well. No more than five minutes passed when Izayoi and InuTaisho walked into the dining room and saw the two of them.

"Good morning, what is this?" Izayoi said with a bright smile at the surprise breakfast.

"It's my yummy omelets and french toast with strawberries, blueberries and a side of maple syrup. I hope you didn't mind, I just wanted to thank you for your hospitality," Kagome said.

Izayoi smiled at her and went over to her son,"She will make a wonderful wife." Inuyasha was taking a bite out of his french toast and choked on it. If Kagome hadn't served him a cup of water and juice he would have passed out.

"Mother, did you have to bring that up," he said to her. "I'm sorry dear, but it's true," Izayoi said, when her husband pulled her a chair and she on the side of the table as so did InuTaisho. Miroku and Sango came in, but Kagome had noticed the bright red handprint on Miroku's left cheek. She sighed and shook her head. Inuyasha muttered that he was stupid and Sango had no choice but to sit next to Miroku.

"Kikyo, this is very amazing, where did you learn how to do this," Izayoi said amazing at her cooking skills. Kagome blushed at the compliment much like how Inuyasha said earlier. One pair of eyes eyed the princess as she laughed nervously.

"I just learned by myself," Kagome answered quickly and they began to eat. Minutes later, their stomach were full and were all laying back in their chairs. Kagome was the first to get up and collected their plates. Izayoi was about to protest but she didn't when her son volunteered to help her. Both of them disappeared into the kitchen, leaving a baffled King and Queen, Sango who watched them leave and Miroku having his piece of french toast hanging in his mouth.

Sango slapped his arm,"Eat that will you."

"I'm afraid that it's too good to be eaten," Miroku said. "Eat it or you won't be eating at all," Sango said. Miroku ate it as quickly as he could. He and Sango excused themselves from the table and left the room and stood outside by the door.

"They are already acting as a married couple. Oh I can't wait for their wedding, but we will have to wait a few years," Izayoi sighed, sipping a cup of her tea.

"Or not my dear," InuTaisho said earning a confused look from his wife.

"What do you mean?" Izayoi asked, setting the cup down to look at her husband.

"I have to speak with Inuyasha later, there has been some changes with the engagement," InuTaisho said looking in the direction of the kitchen. Izayoi's eyes softened and looked in the same direction.

"You want to get out of here?" Inuyasha asked as Kagome finished cleaning up the dishes. Kagome stared at him and turned her head to the side,"Are you sure? Wouldn't there be any demons out there that would try to hurt you?"

"Nah, Sesshoumaru is coming with Rin today and it'll be fun to see the bastard. So why don't we go out. I can show you this great place around here I discovered when I was a pup," Inuyasha told her.

"Okay," Kagome said,"But let me put on some different clothing. I think you should too," she said with a laugh. "Right," Inuyasha said, hue of light pink stinging his cheeks. Kagome nodded and walked off to her room, there stood Sango standing in front of her door.

"Oh hey Sango wh-" she was grabbed by her arm and dragged into the room. "Ouch," she said when Sango let her go, rubbing her now-red arm from the grip.

"Sorry, I guess I don't know my own strength, but there's a reason I'm here," Sango said, narrowing her eyes at Kagome.

Kagome became unease at her tone of voice and stepped back. "I know you aren't really her. So tell me who you really are. I know that the princess doesn't take time to know people. I'm not being rude but she is like her mother, who doesn't care about meeting other people."

Caught red-handed, Kagome sighed and sat on the bed,"I'm sorry for lying about who I am," her head was down, her eyes not seen by her bangs covering them. "A month ago, Kikyo and I met in a school trip at the-"

"Museum," Sango said, Kagome nodded and continued on. "Yes, she wanted to live like a normal girl. By the way we looked, we were mostly like twins except for my blue eyes, which I got brown contacts for to hide the fact I wasn't her when we switched."

"You know, that was the most idiotic, stupidest thing a princess could do. But you know what good came out of it?" Sango said. Kagome looked up to see her smiling. "I made a friend, so I won't let you get caught. You don't have to worry. So tell me what's your name, your real name," Sango told her.

Kagome smiled back,"Kagome."

"Please to meet you Kagome. You know, I don't know how long you are able to hide it. Maybe you should tell Inuyasha soon, because from what I see, you guys are getting pretty close. And the one he thinks he's getting close to is Kikyo. Not Kagome." With that Sango waved bye and left the room.

Kagome bit the bottom of her lip, Tell Inuyasha? I don't know how. He'll hate me for it. She remembered that she had to meet him. Kagome quickly got ready and went down stairs.

"Sorry for making you wait so long," she said, upon seeing Inuyasha standing near the door, one leg on the wall, he was wearing a red kimono, something that seemed very ancient. "What's with the red outfit?" she asked curiously.

"Just something I had, I haven't wore in a long time. Let's get goin," he said. The two walked out and left.

"So the princess is really not the princess. After failing to kill her, she wasn't the real one. Hm...I guess we'll have to tell Naraku, don't we Kanna," a woman on a floating feather said, she floated off to her master's home.
