Cupid's Mistake
by: Enchanted Kagome
Summary:
Prince InuYasha was engaged to Princess Kikyo, and must "choose" her at a set-up ball. However, what happens when Cupid's arrow falls astray and the prince unwittingly falls in love with Kikyou's twin sister, Kagome?
InuYasha sighed as he watched people fake laughed, fake talked and fake agreed with one another. He still couldn't believe he let his parents bully him into this...well, let his mom beg him into this and his dad blackmail him into this. He didn't get why they were making him do this. Seriously, anyone with half a brain could tell this whole masquerade-ball thing was a set up, and his "beloved" was chosen half a year ago instead of now.
"So, man, how are you enjoying your last night as a free man?" Miroku joked.
"Bored as hell?" InuYasha replied.
"Well, I'm certain that a few pretty ladies could change that," Miroku smiled pervertedly.
"Can't say I agree," InuYasha replied hotly, "considering it took only one to push me to suicidal thoughts."
"Have some fun, man," Miroku said. "Live a bit!"
"Right..." InuYasha said.
"Look, I'll show you," Miroku said, scooting off towards the nearest woman.
"Let's see..." InuYasha muttered under his breath. "15...14...13"
"...you are looking awfully pretty tonight," Miroku said, making a woman blush under her crow mask. "Will you..."
"5...4...3..."
"...my child?" With this, Miroku added a rub a bit too below her waist.
"2...1..."
WHAM!!! BAM!!! As the woman overcame her shock and let out her anger on the poor pervert. Miroku however, from his numerous previous encounters, had developed a extremely hard skull and was up and about in 2 minutes. Well, not about, but he at least managed to get up.
"That wasn't...so...bad, was it," he said to InuYasha.
"Look, I said I was thinking about suicide, not homicide!"
"What's so terribly wrong? It's not like Kikyou's a hag."
"Which means her personality has to stink."
"Have you ever even talked to her?" Miroku questioned.
"No, and I plan on keeping it that way," InuYasha retorted.
"Well, I heard her talking and I don't think she's all that bad."
"Since when?"
"Like 5 minutes ago. She's right over there," Miroku pointed.
*~*~*
Kagome leaned against the wall. She had just watched her friend beat up some perverted guy. Oh well, sucks for him.
She was bored out of her mind. She didn't quite see the "purpose" in this masquerade/ball. Anyone could see that Kikyou and that InuYasha person had their so-called "falling in love" planned out half a year ago. But, then again, they may not, considering how thick-headed most of these kings, queens, princesses and princes. They were so stuck in politics they probably fake smile with their own family!
"Hello, Sango-chan," Kagome greeted as her friend stomped over to her side.
"So, where'd Kikyou go?" Sango's face was still red from beating up Miroku.
"Left to dance with Kouga. So, what happened over there," Kagome asked curiously.
"What do you mean?"
"You shouldn't beat up poor guys like that," Kagome reprimanded while mimicking her mother's voice.
"Hey, the guy dared to ask me to 'bear his child' and rubbed my ASS!" she shouted.
"K. K. No need to get overly violent about this," Kagome said.
"So, what have you been doing?"
"Sitting here getting bored to death? Good enough answer?"
"Why don't you go out and dance a little?"
"What, and suffer at the hands of perverted guys that those?" Kagome mocked.
"Forget I said that," Sango muttered.
*~*~*
"So, this is Kikyou," InuYasha said under his breathe. "Not too bad."
"Told you so," Miroku said, popping up out of nowhere.
"Shut up."
"You should ask her to dance."
"Shut up!"
"That way you'll at least know whether she's a good dancer--"
"Look, I said shut up, so SHUT UP!"
"Is that a yes?" Miroku asked as he ducked InuYasha's punch.
"No."
"Is 'no' your way of saying yes?"
"Is that your way of asking for an early death?" InuYasha threatened.
"Fine. Fine. I'll stop talking to you." Miroku said, before draggin InuYasha out of the shadows.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Getting into the light so I'll have witnesses if you kill me."
"For what?"
"For this," Miroku said before stepping in front of the two girls. "Hello, ladies. My friend here is too embarrassed to ask you, Miss, but would you honor him with a dance," he addressed the raven-haired girl, ignoring InuYasha's not to subtle threats behind him.
"I...guess."
*~*~*
Kagome would've said no, but that was before she locked gazes with him. She would've said no is her brown eyes had not drowned in the depth of his golden ones.
"I....guess."
*~**~**~**~*
So, that's the first chapter....
It kinda sucks, I guess...
urg...inspiration fled in the middle, but I don't think its TOO bad.
So...please tell me what you think! Review please!
And yes, I PROMISE to update my other ones...so don't kill me!
