Unperfect Fairytale by DemonMiko
~*~Chapter 4~*~
Through out dinner that night, Kikyo and Yura babbled on and on to Inuyasha about nothing but themselves. He looked at his parents with a look in his eyes that just said, "Please let me get out of this punishment. Listen to them talking non-stop! If you don't I swear I'll kill them."
His father, Inutaisho, sent a look right back to him that said, "Kill them and you suffer a punishment worse than death."
"Inuyasha, would you mind showing them where the library is after dinner? Sango asked me earlier but I was busy." Madoka asked.
"No, Mother, I don't mind showing them." He said through clenched teeth.
A while later they all headed out of the dining hall. Madoka and Inutaisho went to their room while everyone except Kikyo and Yura went to the library. Luckily they both said that books were for losers and that they needed their beauty sleep.
On the way there Mei spoke to the Inuyasha for the first time that day, "Prince Inuyasha," He turned to her. "do you like archery or to duel?"
Inuyasha looked sort of annoyed. "Yeah, why? And don't call me 'Prince'. 'Inuyasha' is just fine. I hate fancy titles." He replied.
"Well it's just that we wanted to invite you to join us for practice in the dojo tomorrow morning." Mei said.
He stared at them in shock, "You guys actually like stuff like that?"
"Of course we do! We were not raised in a palace like half-wit Kikyo and Yura." Sango replied.
"OK then. Sounds like fun. I haven't had an opponent for ages and it would be fun to beat you guys."
"You! Beat me at archery?!" Kagome questioned him.
"Is that a challenge Kagome?" He had a smirk on his face.
"Um. Kagome, I don't think that's a good." Sango began.
"Well duh. Of course it's a challenge."
"Kagome, calm down a bit will you?" Sango hissed.
"No, I will not calm down. He just claimed that he could beat me at archery! ME!" Kagome yelled. "What are we betting on?" She asked as they entered the library.
Mei went right to a shelf full of fairytales and fantasies, leaving Kagome and Inuyasha to argue. Sango followed right behind her to avoid the yelling. They were looking through a rather large and heavy book of fairytales. Then Inuyasha thought for a minute and he grinned, "A kiss."
Sango and Mei dropped the book with a thud as they stared at Kagome, waiting for an answer.
"Fine then. A kiss it is. Remember, tomorrow at 10:30." Kagome agreed. 'When I win this bet, I don't have to collect the prize.' She thought.
Later that night in Sango's room they sat talking.
"Kagome, I don't believe that you actually agreed to a kiss! From a guy that you don't even know. We just met him today." Mei sat braiding her hair into two strands.
"Yeah, well.I thought that when I win, I don't have to collect." Kagome smiled.
"Don't you mean 'if' you win?" Sango pointed out.
"No I mean 'when' I win."
"I think that Sango's right Kagome. You really should be saying 'if' because you're being too confident. I mean, you haven't even seen him practice yet. What makes you think that you'll win?" Mei said dropping the first braid.
"Oh just have a bit of faith in me, will you."
"Yeah, whatever." Sango said. Then she turned to Mei. "I bet you fifty gold coins that Kagome beats Inuyasha."
"You're on." Mei finished her braid and shook Sango's hand.
Turning to Kagome she said, "You better win tomorrow Kagome! I have fifty gold coins at stake here."
"Don't worry Sango, I'll cream him." Then after another half hour of talking they each turned in for the night.
Kagome sat on her bed writing a report to the Queen. It was the first and most important day.
Dear Majesty,
I am pleased to inform to you that Kikyo seems to like the Prince so far. This evening at dinner she was the only one to speak with him. His name is Inuyasha Kobyashi. When I first caught sight of him, I thought that his hair was white but I must have been seeing things. His eyes looked golden at first glance but at dinner they looked violet. It seems to me that he doesn't have much of an interest in Kikyo. He kept looking at clock every so often as if he wish for time to speed up so that he may leave. I thought that you might want to know that they aren't very formal here just like back at the palace. Everything that I have seen so far is very simple. The King and Queen here are treating each of us well and they have asked us to call them by their first names. I will write again in a week and report what else I notice.
-Kagome
Then she folded it up and placed it in an envelope but didn't seal it up yet just in case there was something else that she needed to write.
The next morning Mei woke up first at 8:00. She usually wasn't an early riser but she got up anyway. Something that she couldn't think of was bothering her.
"Well since I'm up I'm going to take a hot bath. I'll probably remember what it is later. Good thing there are hot springs around here." She mumbled.
Sango woke up half an hour later to the sound of someone across the hall yelling.
'That must be Kikyo.' She thought. 'She and Yura are the only ones I know that can yell this early in the morning about not having the perfect outfit on.' Then she got up and groggily went to her closet, took out her robes for the day, and went to the hot springs. At the last minute she turned back and picked up her giant boomerang.
The hot springs were down the stairs and out into the garden. It was a completely covered area with two giant springs. One for the guys and one for the girls. When Sango was walking through the garden, she bumped into a guy.
"Oh, I'm soooo sorry." She said mid-bow. There was something on her rear. She looked up at the guy she bumped into.
He smiled nervously. "Hi, I'm Miroku." He said.
"YOU PERVERT!" She yelled at him, then she wacked him over the head with her boomerang. He fell down, unconcious onto the walkway. Then she stormed off into the spring.
"Hey Sango, what's wrong? You look kinda angry." Kagome stated as Sango got into the water.
"Oh, hi Mei, hi Kagome. It's just that I just met the most perverted guy in the world. What did he say his name was? Oh! Miroku. He went and groped me!" She yelled. "Wait a minute, Kagome don't you need to practice your archery?"
"I don't need to be there until 10:30."
"Well you better win! I have fifty gold coins on the line."
"Um. guys. Who's that." Mei pointed to a cute little boy around the age of five or six. He had big blue eyes and a bushy tail.
"Who are you? I'm Shippo." He said with a smile.
"I'm Mei, this is Sango and that's Kagome. Could you tell me what you're doing in here? This is the ladies' hot spring."
"Oh yeah. I just remembered that I was sent to tell Kagome to get ready to lose."
"And just who told you to tell me that?" Kagome asked.
"Just my cousin."
"Who's your cousin?"
"Inuyasha. He's waiting at the dojo right now." He pointed outside.
Kagome asked Shippo to go back outside for a bit while she got dressed. He left a fuming Kagome and stepped through the door.
Kagome turned to her friends who were also getting dressed.
"What time is it?" She snapped.
"I'd say about 10:00 judging by the sand in the hour glass I have." Mei replied looking down.
"I'll show that no-good, rotten, spoiled, pain-in-the-butt, dumb, ass-hole who's going to lose." Kagome said. She finished putting on her miko robes just as Mei finished. Sango was done way ahead of them. Then she picked up her bow and arrows and stomped out to the dojo, leaving Mei and Sango staring at their angry friend.
Mei turned to Sango. "Have you ever heard Kagome curse before? Even one word?"
"No I haven't. She's gotta be determined to beat Inuyasha. Get your sword and let's go. I don't want to miss the action."
"Got it. Now just remember to bring the money with you Sango. You're going to pay up right then and there." Mei smiled.
"Who says that I'm going to lose the bet? Why not you?"
"Because I know that Inuyasha's not a normal human. He's not even human or half of one anyway. With you being a demon exterminator and all, I thought that you would have figured it out by now." Mei shrugged. "But I guess that you're going to have to figure that out by yourself." She went out the door and headed towards the dojo.
"Wait!" Sango called out. "What do you mean by 'not human'? Mei! Wait up I'm coming too you know!"
