Hey! Sorry for the long wait. School is evil, and I had a lot of homework.
Well, on with the new chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of it's charactors.
Chapter 5
"Why are we following her again?" Shesshomaru asked, looking at Kagome as she walked ahead of them.
"Because she knows the way to her kingdom the best and she wanted to lead." Inuyasha answered, not really paying attention to his answer. He was preoccupied with an odd sent he kept on picking up. It was familiar, but not too familiar.
Shesshomaru was also deep in thought. 'Who does that miko think she is anyway?' He thought, referring to Kaede. 'Telling me I was a year early. Did she think I hadn't noticed? I, Lord Shesshomaru, am not an imbecile.'
Both Inuyasha and Shesshomaru were so intent on what they were thinking that they didn't even notice the brown streak until it was too late.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as she felt herself being lifted off the ground. She kicked and screamed, trying to get him to let her down, but it didn't work.
"Would you stop already? I'm not going to hurt you!" Kouga asked as he continued to dash away from Inuyasha and Shesshomaru.
"Kouga? What are you doing? Bring me back right now!" Kagome screamed, kicking even harder now that she new who it was that had taken her.
"What? You want to go back to the mutt? I know he's taking you against your will! Don't worry, I won't let him get you!" Kouga said proudly.
"I wasn't taken against my will, Inuyasha and I are traveling together!" Kagome yelled at him.
"I knew it! That stupid mutt has you under some spell doesn't he? I knew there had to be a reason that you would reject me! Don't worry my lovely Kagome, I know that everything you say right now is not to be trusted. I will lift you of this curse!" Kouga yelled.
Kagome sweatdroped and thought, 'Does he not know how do give up? He must have the thickest head ever! I have to get out of this and find Inuyasha and Shesshomaru before they get worried about me.'
Kouga continued to jump until they reached a waterfall. Kouga jumped straight at the waterfall, making Kagome scream with fright. Instead of hitting a wall, they went straight through the waterfall and into a cave behind it.
Inside the cave were a lot of wolf demons. All of them stopped what they were doing the second Kouga came in, and all of them asked him how he was at once.
"Hey guys. I'm doing great. What's been going on here?" Kouga asked as he put Kagome down.
One of the wolf demons stepped forward and said, "Nothing has been happening here Kouga. We were all worried about you though. We didn't know what we would do without our leader." The wolf demon then seemed to notice Kagome for the first time and started to drool. "Have you brought use some dinner?"
"NO! This is Kagome. She is going to be my mate. If anyone touches her, I'll kill him myself." Kouga growled.
"YOUR WHAT?" Kagome screamed, glaring at Kouga.
"My mate." He replied calmly.
SLAP
Everything went silent. Kagome marched right out of the cave and started to head back in the way she thought Inuyasha was. Behind her she heard Kouga's men start to ask if he was all right. Kagome muttered under her breath about how she hated stupid wolfs who got ahead of themselves.
"Kagome, are you all right?" Inuyasha asked. He had just run into her on his way to the cave. He had been following her sent when he noticed that there was a second path leading the opposite direction that Kouga had gone.
"Oh, I'm fine. Kouga and I had a..disagreement." Kagome said, giving him her most innocent smile. She knew he couldn't resist that, so he just sighed and motioned for her to get on his back.
It only took them twenty minutes to get back to Shesshomaru, who was waiting at the road. They didn't even stop to talk, just continued walking, this time with Kagome between them so Kouga couldn't try anything else.
It took them a week to reach Kagome's kingdom, and another four days to get to the Palace. They reached the palace right after nightfall, and all of them were tired.
"KAGOME!" Came a shriek from the direction of the palace gate. Out of the front door flew and girl around the age of 13, with her black hair pulled back into a ponytail.
"Sango, is that you?" Kagome asked, amazed. She had changed so much in six years. 'What did I expect, a little girl?' Kagome thought sarcastically.
"Yes, it's me. Oh, I missed you so much Kagome! Why didn't you come to visit? Mother said that you and Prince Inuyasha had gone away for some bonding time, and that you would be home soon. But it's been six whole years and didn't come!" Sango cried, tears streaming down her face. "Was I that terrible as a child?"
"NO, don't ever think it was your fault. I ran away because Mother was going to force me to...wait a second, did you just say that Mother told you that she knew this whole time were Inuyasha and I were?" Kagome exclaimed. (a/n a little slow there Kagome)
"Yea, she said that you and Prince Inuyasha wanted to get to know each other better before you two got married." Sango said smiling. "So, are you two in love yet?"
"What? Mother still thinks were getting married?" Kagome asked, looking over at Inuyasha. "Do they not remember why we ran away?"
"Shesshomaru!" Inuyasha growled, turning to his brother. "What is she talking about?"
"Well, after we found out that you two were together, Queen Kikyou and I decided to keep you engagement going. I was to collect you both when Inuyasha turned 18, but with Princess Sango's engagement as an excuse to get you here, we thought this to be the perfect time." Shesshomaru answered calmly, waiting for Inuyasha to explode. He didn't have to wait long.
"YOU WHAT? I think that would be Kagome's choice, and mine not yours and Queen Kikyou's! And what is with getting a 13-year-old girl engaged to a 16- year-old boy? Is she crazy?" Inuyasha asked.
"I decided to set up the engagement now, and have the wedding in two years, when he is 18, and she is 15. I only had King Shesshomaru tell you they were getting married so that Kagome would come home. Poor Sango was feeling lonely, and I didn't want to have my daughter live in that horrible little town any longer." Kikyou said, finally making an appearance.
"Well mother, tricking us into coming back wasn't the best way to get us hear. Now we're just going to have to run away again and you know you can't stop us." Kagome said coldly, looking at Inuyasha to see if he was up to running away again. Inuyasha nodded his agreement and got ready to grab her and run if he had to.
Kikyou sighed, then said, "If you don't want to stay I won't make you, but will you at least stay for a little while for you sister sake? She missed you so much. I also missed you." Kikyou said, not daring to look in her eldest daughter's eyes, afraid to find hatred there. Kagome just sighed, looking at her mother. "Fine, I'll stay for a little while, but only for a week or two. I have to get back to the Kaede's hut. That's were my home is now." Kagome told her mother sternly.
Kikyou looked up, surprised. She thought that Kagome would hate her, and that she would want to go back to the village right away. Kikyou grinned and looked at Shesshomaru. They both knew that if Kagome was staying so would Inuyasha, and that meant time to work on them both to stay permanently.
"Let us go inside and go to bed. It is getting late and I am tired from all of the emotional stress that has happened today." Kikyou said, heading back into the palace.
***The next morning***
Kagome woke to the sound of knocking on her door. She sat up and looked around. The events of the day before came back to her and she lay back down with a sigh. The person at the door knocked again and she called for them to come in.
In walked a servant, carrying her breakfast. It was her favorite, pancakes and muffins. Kagome sighed again and thought, 'Boy did I miss this! Breakfast in bed!' She sat down and ate her breakfast, then lay back down, hoping to take a nap. But she was interrupted by another knock on the door.
"Come in." She yelled, sitting up.
In walked Inuyasha, and he sat down on the edge of her bed. "Are you really going to stay here for a week or two? You know that's what they want right? To get you used to this again so that you don't want to go back."
"Well don't you get right to the point? Yes I know that's what they want, but I miss Sango and I want to make sure she's happy before I go back. And I want to make sure that this Lord Miroku isn't a horrible match for her." Kagome said, looking him straight in the eye. "Are you also going to stay?"
"Of course! If I leave then I'll be leaving you alone with them, and that is something even I couldn't do." Inuyasha said, not looking her in the eyes.
"Thank you." Kagome whispered.
"Don't thank me yet, I haven't done anything. We still have to meet this Miroku guy, and before you say anything I'm coming too. If he meets your approval then we can talk to Sango and leave. Ok?" Inuyasha asked.
"That's perfect. All I want to do is make sure she's gonna be ok, and if she's not I'm going to correct it." Kagome said, getting up. "Ok, now get out so I can get changed and we can go see Lord Miroku." Inuyasha left, waiting right outside the door. Kagome came out a couple minutes later wearing her formal Princess clothes, while Inuyasha was still wearing his red outfit that he had had ever since Kagome had made it for him.
They both went towards the quest wind and asked a servant which room Miroku was staying in. They got directions and found his room easily enough.
Kagome knocked on the door and a boy with long black hair tide back in a small ponytail answered. 'Well, at least he's cute.' Kagome thought.
"What brings such a beautiful lady to my door?" Miroku asked, bending over her hand to kiss it.
Inuyasha growled, then said, "We want to talk about your fiancee Sango."
"Ah, the lovely Sango, I would be happy to talk about her with you." Miroku said, gesturing for them to come in. They did, and sat down at some chairs that were in the room. "Before we get started, I have one question for the lady." Miroku walked over to Kagome and took her hands. "Beautiful lady, will you bear my children?"
PUNCH
SLAP
"You jack ass! Don't ever say that to her again!" Inuyasha yelled, then continued to beat Miroku to a pulp.
Kagome sighed. 'Same old Miroku.'
