To Love

She fell into the arms of the man she loved and felt her body melt in a kiss. (This was illegal by law and punished by death. Her body was scared to the man she was married to and anyone who dare, as much as to lay a finger on her was to die. This law applied to everyone even her own family. But she could care less to report what Inuyasha was doing now. She loved it when he embraced her with his strong arms, and kissed her with his warm and soft lips. She knew that she would only allow him to do this to her. It's not like no one knew. Her brother did, but he had swore to keep it a secret. He loved his little sister and knew that he'd jump off a cliff is she asked him to. Sota loved Kagome more than brother and sister. He wanted to be with her forever but this was not allowed. To her, he was only her older brother. She loved him too, but not in the way he loved her.) He broke the kiss and looked at her loving face. (God, could he be any more charming.)

"Kagome. I love you."

"Inuyasha. You don't know how long I've wanted to hear that. I love you too."

Outside they could hear footsteps and Kagome suddenly realized that she'd been expecting guests. Rather than going straight into the hallway where they could see her, she and Inuyasha went another way that led to the kitchen. There she could come out without anyone being suspicious. She walked through the door of the kitchen and suddenly remembered that her brother still needed to see her. She decided to go talk to him before going to greet her guests. She walked sown the stone hallway until she came a cross a room with 2 guards standing guard. When they saw her, they moved aside. She entered the room to find Sota sitting on his bed looking quite sad.

"Sota, dijabou ka?"

"Kagome, I have some bad news."

"Nani?"

She said as she took a seat next to him.

"I have a letter from Sesshomaru. Well it seems that Inuyasha must leave us."

SHOCK!

"Why?"

"His father needs Inuyasha to take over their land."

"Well, why can't Sesshomaru do it?"

"Sesshomaru is older and he has his own land to look after."

"NO! I won't let him go."

"Kagome, he has to go. We have no choice."

"No, I'm the princess and if I say he stays then he stays."

"Kagome, you can't do that to him. There is no way that father is going to let him stay even if you beg him. You have a pre engaged husband and if anyone finds out, then he'll be punished by death."

Kagome got on her knees in front of Sota, tears dripping down her eyes.

"Sota, I beg you. Don't let them do this to me. Please."

"Kagome, I."

"Sota please."

"Ok, I won't tell father."

"Arigato-gozaimasu."

Kagome cleaned her face in Sota's bathroom making sure there were no sign showing that she'd been crying. She was on her way to see an old friend and a very important princess who was to be married to her second oldest brother, Miroku. Her name was Sango. She was a perfect girl in just about every way. She was smart, pretty, athletic, and good to get along with. (I certainly hope she likes Miroku.) Miroku had been away for the past 10 years training to be a knight. Kagome had not seen her brother in 3 years. She missed him. He was due to return last night and she had heard that he'd been in his room since then preparing to meet his bride. Kagome walked down the hall until she got to a room with mainly some nice chairs and couches for guests.

"Sango."

A girl who had been talking to Sota turned and looked at her. She had wavy brown hair and green eyes. She wore a purple princess gown and a silver tiara.

"Kagome, how are you?"

"I'm doing great."

"So where is he?"

"Where's who?"

"You know, your husband to be. What's his name. Prince Kouga."

"Well actually I'm not quite sure."

Kagome answered realizing that she hadn't seen Kouga since she left to meet with Sota.

"Too bad. I wanted to meet him."

"Well, you'll get to meet you husband to be soon. Excited?"

"More like devastated."

"Poor girl."

"So what's he like?"

"Well, the lasting thing I remember, he was a real pervert."

SHOCK!

"Oh, that's just what I wanted to know."

They heard footsteps coming down the hallway and figured it must be Miroku. Sango adjusted her outfit making sure she looked alright. Miroku walked in the room.

"YOU!"

Sango and Miroku said at the same time.

"IT CAN"T BE!"

Kagome stands there kind of puzzled.

"Have you guys met?"
