Hello. Apparently I am a mean, evil, whore. Hehehe. I go away for an hour
and come back to find 10 new reviews for chapter 3, all of them telling me
that the cliff hanger was evil. Mwah hahahaha! And I got some cool
suggestions, BUT I already planned what was going to happen before I even
posted the 3rd chapter. 10 new reviews in ONE HOUR! You love me! You really
do! *goes all starry eyed and waves to the public* ok now I'm just getting
weird. Oohhhhhh I smell strawberries! Oh yea... that would be my hair ^_^;;
I'm gonna stop being weird now and get on to the fic!

Chapter 4- Yes!
Inu Yasha knocked Kouga back, and took Kagome's hand in his. "Kagome... will you..."
"YES!" Kagome shouted, and bounced up and down. She was so excited! She hadn't expected a marriage proposal, but who care's about what she had expected? She was going to marry a great guy, and get away from Kouga.
Inu Yasha smiled. "Great! Um... how about tomorrow?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Tomorrow? But we need to make plans! And don't you think we should wait until spring, so we can have it outside with the flowers and all?" (it's the end of autumn right now)
"Why the hell should we wait till then?" Inu Yasha asked.
Kagome looked at him with an unbelieving expression on her face. "But we need plans..."
"Why do we need plans to go on another date?"
Kagome realized her HUGE mistake. He hadn't proposed, he had only asked her on another date. She felt her face go cherry red and tears spring to her eyes. It was like heaven was crashing around her. Not that a date was bad, but she had expected a marriage proposal. "Oh my god." She whispered.
"What's wrong? Kagome?" Inu Yasha tried to look into her eyes, but she avoided looking at him.
"Look what you've done bastard!" Kouga growled.
"Who are you calling bastard?"
"You."
"Oh you are dead!" Inu Yasha was about to chase Kouga down the hall when he was stopped by Kagome's sobs. "Ack! Kagome! Stop crying! No crying!" Inu Yasha always felt guilty when people cried, whether it was his fault or not.
"I am so stupid!" She sobbed.
Inu Yasha put his arms around her. "You're not stupid. Why would you think that?"
"Because... because I thought that you had pro... proposed to me!" She buried her face in his shirt to hide her shame.
"What? No I... it's only the first date! I wouldn't do that! I would need a ring! And time to plan things, and..."
"I feel so stupid!" She cried.
"Don't." Was all Inu Yasha could come up with. "Um. Well... I should be going now..."
Kagome nodded and let go of him. Inu Yasha looked from Kouga, to Kagome and back again. "Why don't you come to my castle and spend the night there. I mean, you could meet my parents and all..." He was trying to hide his embarrassment.
"I should tell my father." She said. She skipped off down the hallways with Inu Yasha following. She went up to a door and knocked on it. "Father!" She called. They heard a 'come in' from inside, and Kagome opened the door. "Father, I would like you to meet Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha this is my father, Lord Higurashi."
Inu Yasha stepped in. Lord Higurashi sat up and put his book down. He extended a hand, which Inu Yasha shook. "I'm sorry you have to see me in my dressing gown." Lord Higurashi said apologetically. "I don't know why Kagome had do introduce us now."
"Its ok. Kagome introduced us now because I have invited her to stay the night as my guest at Tetsusaiga Castle, to meet my family."
"Ah well, fine go ahead." Lord Higurashi said without thinking.
Inu Yasha and Kagome looked at each other, and she shrugged. They turned to leave. "Have a good time dear!" Kagome's mother called.
"Wow. Talk about not caring." Inu Yasha said once they got outside.
"Yeah." Kagome called for Kaede to pack some clothes for her.
"No need." Inu Yasha said. "There are plenty of things at the castle. You don't need to bring anything." Kagome hesitated, but stopped Kaede from packing her things.
They walked out to the front hall, where Kouga glared at them. The two ignored him, and walked out to the waiting carriage.
~*~*~*~*~*~
The ride was silent. Kagome was still embarrassed and Inu Yasha didn't know what to say to her. All he knew was that he felt bad. 'I'll propose to you someday, Kagome.' He said in his mind. 'When I plan things out.' He knew that he had less than a month to plan, but he also knew that he could do it.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Poor Kagome!" Sango gasped. She and Miroku had heard (and seen) the whole thing. They were back at the castle, but Miroku had magicked (is that a word?) a mirror into showing them what was happening.
"I have a feeling everything will turn out alright." Miroku said, not looking at the mirror, but at Sango. She blushed, knowing that he was talking about them.
"Uh... um, I guess we should get ready to greet Kagome, and we should get a room ready, and STOP STARING AT ME!" Sango finally yelled. Miroku was freaking her out. He just laughed and walked past her, towards the guest quarters.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When they arrived, Inu Yasha and Kagome found Sango and Miroku waiting for them. Introductions went around, and everybody shook hands (except for IY cause he knows everybody ^_^)
"We got a quest room ready, unless Kagome is spending the night in your room..." Miroku said to Inu Yasha, giving him a lecherous grin.
"NO!" Inu Yasha shouted, turning pink.
Kagome giggled. "Why not?" Inu Yasha looked at her dumbly. Kagome giggled again. "I was just kidding!"
"Why doesn't Kagome stay in my room?" Sango asked. "I'd like to get to know you better." She said to Kagome.
"Oh! Really! That would be great! I've never had a real friend before."
Sango found that sad, and took the girl into her room. Inu Yasha looked mildly disappointed.
"Heh, you were hoping that she would spend the night in your room, weren't you?" Miroku asked the blushing demon. "Ya know, we might just have to check on the girls in the middle of the night... when they aren't expecting it..." He grinned even wider than before.
Inu Yasha rolled his eyes, and walked to his room. Sadly, Miroku's room was right next door, so Inu Yasha had to put up with him all the way there. 'Well, whatever Miroku is planning, tonight should be interesting.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wah! I must leave you there! And sorry to all the people who were hoping for a marriage proposal! I wasn't going to end the fic THAT quickly! And sorry that this chapter is so short compared to my others. I must go to bed now! Ack! A cat is trying to EAT my hair! Stupid thing! He smells the strawberries... and remember, I need reviews to live! And they also help me write faster ^_^ till next time!
