Chapter 22:
"Oi! Where are Kagome and Inuyasha?" A little fox demon chimed. "Where are they?"
"Shippo, what's the matter?"
"They're gone Miroku!"
"Ah, so they are. Don't worry Shippo they're probably just fine, ne Sango?"
"Huh? Oh yeah they'll be okay." She yawned and rubbed her eyes. The two looked at each other and winked. "Might as well make some breakfast."
"Inuyasha?" A sleepy Kagome said as she nudged her equally sleepy hanyou.
"Huh? Oh *yawn* Kagome." He noticed his lack of clothing as Kagome got up and finished changing. They had slept curled up in each other's arms in that sleeping bag.
"That was some cheering up." She smiled; Inuyasha smirked back. "Thank you for everything."
"Ah.it was nothing really." He blushed, "We better head back for camp; they'll be wondering where we are."
"Yup." He got up and she helped him tie the many knots that made up his fire rat robe. They left and headed back to the camp, hand in hand.
"SO there they are! Where were you?" Shippo questioned.
"We got up early this morning and watched the sunrise, that's all." Kagome stated flatly as the monk and taijya exchanged glances, smiling. Inuyasha noticed this and tried to ignore it.
"Here's breakfast." She handed them some plain rice with a few pickles mixed in with it.
"Arigato Sango-chan." She ate it quietly as did Inuyasha. 'Not fighting or anything. Good mood,eh?' Sango thought to herself as she tried to hold in a giggle. They finished eating and started walking to the village.
"Let's find an inn tonight."
"We're running low on money Kagome-sama."
"Oi, Miroku do what you always do."
"Demo-"
"Just do it bouzu."
"For the last time Inuyasha I'm a monk not a priest!"
"Whatever, bouzu." Miroku sighed and hunted down a nice inn. He said the usual 'you have an evil presence in this inn' and they were let in for free. The girls sat on the outside step at the front of the inn to get some fresh air while Miroku exorcized the inn.
"So, Kagome-chan?"
"Huh? Nani?" Sango gazed at her closely.
"Did you?" She caved in and told Sango about what really happened the other night.
"He gave me flowers to cheer me up."
"Awww how sweet." She cooed thinking to herself: 'Why hasn't Houshi given me any?'
"I can't resist that and he was rather charming last night."
"Charming? Inuyasha charming? Now that's something new!" She giggled uncontrollably.
"Hey Sango-chan!" She pushed her.
"Ano..ladies?" A young man asked. He was dressed in silk robes, like a royal. They both looked up at him.
"Oh..gomen...we were just...hehehe..." Kagome stuttered.
"I'm Prince Takeku. I was cordially inviting all the young women in my village to attend a ball. I'm looking for a wife." The girl's jaws dropped.
"A wife?!" They cried in unison.
"Ano..I'm not interested sir." Kagome replied.
"Neither am I. We are just travelers coming through your village."
"Why don't you just come then. Onegai maladies?"
"How about it Sango-chan? We can get all dressed up. I've always dreamed going to a ball."
"I guess, but what about Houshi and Inuyasha?"
"This will be a girls' night out."
"Huh?"
"Just us girls."
"Oh okay..."
"When is it Your Highness?"
"Tomorrow evening, right at dusk."
"Okay we'll be there." Kagome smiled; the Prince bowed and took her hand and kissed it. He then left and went back onto his horse, galloping away down the street.
"I don't know if this is such a good idea Kagome-chan. I mean what will Inuyasha say? Especially when it's for the Prince trying to find a wife."
"Don't worry! There's gotta be better girls there than us. He won't choose one of us."
