SUKE! I haven't written in FOREVER!! Welll, here you are, I guess...

"What? What?!" Inuyasha exclaimed, poking his head back up over the balcony ridge.

" How--how are you doing that?" Kagome asked, looking curiously at the seemingly resilient boy. She peered over the edge of the terrace to see Inuyasha floating steadily on a rug of some sort.

"It's a magic rug." Inuyasha stated blandly, looking at Kagome with a definite interest.

"It's so kawaii!!" Kagome squealed, reaching out towards one the Rug's tassels. Rug's obvious ominous mood brightened noticeably, and he took the princess's hand in his little tassel.

"You, uh, you wouldn't want to go for a ride, would you?" Inuyasha asked hesitantly, afraid of her answer, "We could get out of the palace, see the world."

"Are you sure it's safe?" Kagome asked, looking hurriedly back at her door.

"Of course it is. Do you trust me?" Inuyasha asked with a smirk of content, reaching out to her for her hand.

"What?" Kagome said, startled. The boy, the boy from the market... He had said exactly the same thing. Now that she thought about it, this prince looked surprisingly familiar...

"Do you trust me?" Inuyasha asked once more, extending his arm a bit farther, willing her to take his hand and be free from the musty old palace.

"Yes. I think I do..." Kagome said, taking his hand with all of the certainty of the world. She gasped, as Rug took she and Inuyasha up over the palace's walls and into the star lit sky...

'This is way better then using that tree...'

Later, while hovering over a Chinese temple with fireworks going off all around them...:

"It's all so beautiful. I mean, I've never seen fireworks before..." Kagome said, snuggling up to Inuyasha just a bit more.

"Yeah." Inuyasha said dreamily, completely lost in the first moment of safety and satisfaction in his entire life. Kagome turned her head slightly, realizing her advantage.

"It's a shame Shippo had to miss this..." She murmured, trying to sound as innocent as possible.

"Nah. He hates fireworks." Inuyasha said, still lost. Rug jerked his upper half up, realizing what the princess was up to, "He doesn't really like flying either--" Inuyasha's eyes widen as the amount of his stupidity dawns on him. "That is to say... Oh shit..."

"You are the boy from the market! I knew it! Why on Earth did you lie to me?" Kagome asked, ripping off Inuyasha's turban, infuriated.

"Kagome... I'm sorry." Inuyasha replied sadly, knowing she wouldn't understand.

"Did you think I was stupid?! That I wouldn't figure it out?!" Kagome asked, practically yelling now.

"No! I mean, I hoped you wouldn't. No, that's not what I meant..." Inuyasha exclaimed pitifully, trying his hardest to explain.

"Who are you really? Tell me the truth!" Kagome was yelling now, incredibly pissed she had been fooled.

"The truth? The truth...the truth is..." Inuyasha struggled to find the right words... He looked to Rug for guidance. The rug waved him on, willing him to continue, "I–I sometimes dress as a commoner to escape the pressures of palace life." Rug slumped in defeat, " But I really am a prince!"

"Why didn't you just tell me?" Kagome asked in exasperation.

"Well, you know, um...royalty going out into the city in disguise, it sounds a little strange, don't you think?" Inuyasha asked, realizing too late that she had done the same.

"Not that strange." Kagome said to him, smirking slightly. She returned to her spot next to him, cuddling even closer then before.

"Goodnight, my handsome hanyou prince." Kagome bid him sweetly and gently, leaning over the balcony towards Inuyasha, who remained on Rug.

"Sleep well, beautiful miko princess." Inuyasha smiled lovingly at Kagome... They slowly leaned towards each other, innocent, but coming closer for the same purpose. Rug, expected something to happen, but realized each teen was waiting for the other to make a move. Irritated with their meekness, Rug bumped Inuyasha up, and the two love-birds kiss sooner than they had expected. Sparks flew as their lips met, thanks to Miroku. Kagome broke away slowly, lovingly, and walked back to her door leading to her bedroom. She glanced back once more, seeing just how absolutely adorable Inuyasha truly was. She sighed with contentment, and stepped inside.

"Yes!" Inuyasha said with glee, and fell back onto Rug, who descended to the ground, "For the first time in my entire life, things are starting to go right..."

There you go, I know a few people have been waiting for this, sooooo, yay for you!!!
