Chapter 4-A maid's paradise
Kagome's POV

It was the night of the day that Inuyasha had sung to me. I was so surprised.I didn't know how good a singer he was! I was in the maid's quarters when Sango jumped up in front of me in glee.

"Guess what Kagome!!!" she said grinning like a hyena.

"what is it Sango?" I asked

"Miroku"

"who?"

"oh c'mon! you know! The guy I'm supposed to be working with in cleaning sesshomaru's room!!!"

"oh.yea. What about him Sango?"

"were together!"

"really?? Congrats sango! That reminds me.I guess since you told me of your secret romance.ill tell you about mine"

" ohhhhh really Kagome?? I KNEW it was something along the lines of that! Who is he? One of the servants of the castle?"

"*sigh* no. its Prince Inuyasha." I said. But sango just laughed.

"yea right Kagome. Who is it?"

"Sango, I wouldn't lie to you." I said flatly.looking at the rose colored floor of the carpet.

"you..your with the prince? He loves you?" she asked quietly.

"well.he didn't say that..but I'm sure he..i think..well I love him!"

"I bet he's using you"

"Sango!"

"well.he hasn't said it right? I bet he's just one of those guys who just get girls for..ya know. And then toss them out..and well if he's not you should ask him. You should ask him if he loves you.and promise to tell me what he says!!!" she said while walking to her bed which was next to mine.

I laughed. "Ok Sango.ill ask him.and then I drifted off to sleep.

~*THE NEXT DAY~*

.*yawn*..its time already? Ugh time to go to Inuyasha's room.and ask him. Why can't I just wait? I thought as I sat up in my bed, groggily.

I trudged up the gold colored carpeted stairs up to Inuyasha's room. I knocked on his door hoping he was awake.and to my relief he was.

"hey Kagome." he said while staring at me with a goofy grin on his face, which just made sango's words ring in my head again."I bet he's using you." but I did manage a small smile.

"Inuyasha...that kiss..those kisses.what do they mean?" I said while looking at the elaborate fabric on the top of his bed.that we were sitting on.

"well.its kind of hard for me to say." he trailed off.

"your using me arnt you.." I said with sadness.making him sit up.with anger. I thought maybe he was mad at me for finding out or something. He yanked me up and I was prepared for him to slap me..but instead he hugged me.in a warm comforting hug.

"huh?" was all I managed to say.

"kagome..I'm not using you..i would not.I could not do that.ever.."

"are you saying what I think your saying.?"

"yes, Kagome. I..i love you! There I said it! Gosh I had that bottled in for so long! And jeez I know this is moving fast Kagome.and I'm sorry I really am.I just can't hide it.and I understand if you don't."

"no, Inuyasha.I love you too!". We both were overjoyed. I loved him and he loved me.nothing could go wrong.or so I thought at the time.

~*later~*

I went to the maid's quarters as soon as I could to tell Sango the good news. She was ecstatic.as was i. we weren't single any more! And we were in love.ahh we stayed up all night talking about it she told me all about how Miroku and her fell in love.and I explained my story as well. She was glad for me and I was glad for her.and all was grand.
