A/N: Gomen-nasai. I won't be updating every night like I use to. From now on, I'm uploading every week. I'm very sorry, but my new Internet service restricts 10 hours a month, and plus I have a tone of homework every night. But don't worry, I'll probably be uploading 2-4 chapters a time.

To Love

"ECHI!"

Kouga stands in front of Kagome, a hand print on his face.

"Gomen-nasai."

"What are you doing?"

"I came to say oyasumi."

"Well, don't sneak up on me like that."

"I won't."

"Baka. I swear it."

"By the way, what's Sango's plan?"

SHOCK!

"Nani?"

"When I was about to come in I heard you screaming at Sango about not having a back up plan, so I figured there must have been a plan for a back up plan."

"Oh, well, ah, we *cough* were, ah.we were trying to find a way to give Sota a surprise party, and I said that if it didn't work, like if one part went wrong, we'd need a back up."

"Interesting. Well, I'd better leave you to your rests. See you in the morning."

"Oyasumi-nasai."

With that Kouga left the room. Kagome was so glad he didn't try to hug her, or worse, kiss her. The only one she'd kiss was Inuyasha, even if it was illegal.

*Next morning*

The nest morning, Kagome woke just in time. If she'd miss breakfast, she'd be dead. And besides, part 1 was supposed to happen during breakfast. She got dressed and went down stairs.

"Ohayo-gozaimasu."

"Ohayo, Kagome."

She walked in and took her seat at the table. About 10 minutes later as planed the king got a letter. He read it, then sent someone to get Inuyasha. Inuyasha entered the room and stole a quick glance at Kagome who smiled back.

"Nani, you majesty?"

"We've received a letter from your brother. Apparently, your father has gotten sick and your family needs you there. You will leave tonight. Is that ok?"

"Hai."

"Ok, then it's set. You are dismissed."

"Arigato, your majesty."

Inuyasha left the room.

"Kagome?"

"Nani, daddy?"

"You should start packing. You and Sango leave tomorrow morning. How long do you plan to stay?"

"I think about 3 weeks."

"Good, so you'll be back in time for Sota's initiation to the thrown."

"Hai, father."

"Sango, be sure to wish everyone well for me."

"I will, your majesty."

*Later that afternoon*

Kagome and Sango are sitting in Kagome's room packing.

"We should pay Inuyasha a visit before he leaves."

"We will. After dinner is when he's leaving."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come in."

"Your highness."

A servant boy bowed in front of Sango.

"This just arrived for you."

Sango took the letter. He kept his head bowed.

"Arigato, you may go."

Once he had left the room, Sango opened the letter and read it.

"It's from Kikyo."

"What does she say?"

"She said that Sesshomaru will meet us tomorrow, alone."

"Great."

"Have you ever met Sesshomaru?"

"Wait. Isn't Inuyasha's brother's name Sesshomaru?"

"Hai, General Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's brother."

"NANI?"

"But, but, but."

"I know it's strange but that's how it turned out. I don't know how it happened. You'll have to ask Kikyo."

"I will."

*After dinner that night*

Kagome and Sango said that they were taking a walk in the garden, but as soon as they were out of sight, they headed for the gate where they would see Inuyasha off.

"Inuyasha."

"Nani?"

"You remember where to meet us?"

"Hai."

"Then we'll see you tomorrow."

"Ok, but you'd better go before someone sees us."

"Inuyasha."

"Kagome."

Kagome ran into Inuyasha's arms and gave him a long and sweet sayonara kiss.

"Good luck and be careful."

"I will. See you tomorrow."

"Sayonara, Inuyasha."

With that, Inuyasha road off.

*Next morning*

Kagome, Sango, Kouga, and Miroku had all packed and ready to go. Kagome gave her mom and dad a hug good-bye.

"Sayonara, everyone. See you all in 3 weeks."

With that they road off with 6 royal guard toward Sango's kingdom and Inuyasha.
