Note : Somebody be a dear and tell what are LEMONS and OOC HAHAS. I really need to catch up to these times ..

" Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh BOY ! " Kagome squealed as she jumped into her white and pink blossom kimono. My Majesties will KILL me ! Not to mention Inuyasha would be there to make everything else worse ..

Kagome sighed. Even though she tried hard to think bad of Inuyasha, that ungrateful, rude, obnoxious hanyou, Kagome couldn't help thinking all the GOOD things about him. So it really wasn't her fault he was crammed into her mind all night, forcing her mind to think of him. She should SUE !

Jumping on the bathroom clogs she used to bash Inuyasha with, Kagome shuffled downstairs quickly, running her fingers through her tangly hair the whole way. She jumped past tsk-ing maids and practically slid down the stairs on the railing.

Flying down to the dining room, which she surprisingly found in only a week, she burst through the brass doors.

Oh that was sssmmmarrrttt

Considering all the heads snapped her way in a surprised, some in a yet irritated manner. ( Inuyasha )

Kagome swallowed hard, as she stood frozen in front of the swinging doors with a panicked expression. Oh no .. oh no .. OH NO !!

Kagome slowly shifted her eyes to the new faces sitting on the long leather sofa across from Inuyasha's parents, who were looking at her strangely.

Kagome was surprised when she saw a boy around Inuyasha's age sitting next to an older man dressed in a very elaborate kimono, much like Inuyasha's father. The boy was strikingly handsome, had piercing light blue eyes, though not as attractive as Inuyasha's, long black hair tied into a high ponytail with a fur headband wrapped around his forehead, that let his dark bangs shadow a bit of his eyes, a muscular build, even more buff than Inuyasha, and wore, not those usual snobby prince outfits that showed how rich he was by how elaborate and big the kimono was, but wore an armor. His chest to his waist was covered by a metal chest plate, with fur shoulder patches tied to it. He had fur bands tied to his wrists, but the rest of his arm was bare. A short pelt was wrapped around his waist, and his calves were wrapped with fur as well, revealing bare thighs and feet.

Kagome almost blushed when she noticed how defined and toned his legs and arms were, especially the muscles showing off from his arm, which was crossed and flexed. But she really shouldn't have noticed, because Inuyasha had his head turned towards her, his amber eyes flashing with .. jealousy ? Nah ..

Kagome didn't see the young boy looking at her, because she reverted her attention to the ready-to-seethe hanyou sitting next to ..

Kagome clenched her fists. Kikyou

Her sister's head was also turned towards her, and she was sitting very close to Inuyasha. Too close. She had a cold expression on her face but her grey eyes were dancing with annoyance. Argh ! What the heck was she so annoyed about ?!

Kagome tried to ignore her sister, and concentrated on making a face at Inuyasha who had made a scrunched-up-eyeball-rolling face at her. Kagome didn't even notice that everybody else in the room was staring, nor did Inuyasha.

" Kagome, " Kikyou finally said, breaking the tension in the room. " It is very rude to stumble in the presence of your Majesties and your royal guest. Plus you're late. "

Kagome looked at the two people sitting across from her Majesties and finally noticed that the boy was definitely staring at her. Turning her head back to Kikyou, Kagome excused herself and began backing out, but not before she turned her head over and stuck out her tongue secretly to Inuyasha, whose eyes widened the moment she closed the big doors behind him.

Kagome leaned on the closed doors and breathed a sigh of relief. Oooh that boy that was staring at me sure made me uncomfortable. Hm .. who is he ?

Kagome kicked off her shoes and quickly trudged along the warm sand of the beach .. or as Inuyasha calls it … his beach.

Kagome scrunched up her nose as she walked up to the cold waters washing along the bank. Boy, she has been thinking about that stupid hanyou a lot lately. She wanted to tire out of it, but it just got more interesting every time she thought about him.

Giggling in delight, Kagome sat down and stuck her feet out to the waters as she saw him do it once. It looked so relaxing, and made him look so peaceful .. it wouldn't hurt to try it.

Shivering at the cold water suddenly rushing up to her feet, Kagome curled up into a ball and placed her chin on her propped up knees. She sighed. It was so beautiful .. and so relaxing. Of course .. it would be more relaxing if there was someone with her ..

Suddenly, a big blur of red and silver shot through her mind like a speeding bullet. Kagome squinted to see who it was, and slowly, the image itself formed into that very familiar boy she had just made faces with. Kagome's eyes widened, and stuck her hand out to clear the image. No way ! Why would I want him with me ? He'll just ruin the beautiful moment when his soulful amber eyes and handsome chiseled face that held those boyish features .. not the mention those irresistible doggy ears ..

" AHHH ! " Kagome groaned and fell flat on her back with her eyes closed. " Stupid Inuyasha. Why're you making me think about you so .. "

Kagome cut off, sighing. She laid her arms out to her sides and breathed in deeply. Well .. of course I think about him. There's nobody else to talk to in this boring palace .. eh .. ?

The sudden warmth that was bathing her had suddenly disappeared and Kagome felt shade towering over her. Her brows furrowed but she didn't open her eyes. She irritably called out to the person and waved her hands in front of her, " Oi, Inuyasha. Move ! You're blocking my sun. "

Kagome waited for the person to move, or Inuyasha to, but he didn't and he also didn't answer.

Feeling a little annoyed, Kagome opened her eyes, ready to start another interesting argument with him.

Oi.

It wasn't Inuyasha.

Quickly, Kagome sat up, and crawled three steps away from the boy in front of her. Hey. Wasn't he the one in the dining room next to that man she never saw before ?!

" Hey, " the boy said with a husky voice, a arrogant half grin forming on his lips. A small fang peeped through his lips and it obviously showed that he was a demon. No wonder. He had a tail.

Kagome narrowed her eyes at him, not sure if he was going to attack her. " Um .. hey .. "

The boy crossed his arms, probably reading Kagome's mind. " Do you think I'd waste my time hurting the likes of you ? That would just be boring, " Before Kagome could open his mouth and yell at his obnoxious attitude, he continued with a shrug. " But hey, that would be dumb of me. Your boyfriend might attack me, and if I kill him, I'll be hanged. Who would be the next leader of my land then ? "

" Why you .. " Kagome started with a low voice but froze and her angered expression shifted to a confused one. " Next leader ? Your father is a KING ?! "

The boy looked at her strangely, like he expected her to know. " Yeah. And I'm a prince. "

Kagome didn't miss the sarcasm in his voice but ignored it. She leaned over to him with narrowed eyes. " What did you say .. my boyfriend will .. WHAT ?! "

The boy leaned back, surprised at Kagome's sudden nearness. " Um .. yeah your BOYFRIEND might att .. "

Kagome's eyes widened and leaned even CLOSER. " WHAT BOYFRIEND ?! "

The prince's eyebrows went up. Way up. " That dog-turd. You mean he's not your boyfriend ? "

Kagome almost fell back. " YOU MEAN INUYASHA ?!?!? "

The prince scooted back, his hands pressing over his ears. " Yes ! And stop screaming, dammit ! "

Kagome sank back into the sand, surprised. " Why would you think me and him were .. you know .. together um .. mister .. um .. "

" Kouga. The name's Kouga. Your name's Kagome right ? " the boy replied, looking at her in the eye.

Kagome gasped at the blueness of his eyes, but managed to nod. Wow. They sure were radiant. They were so bright and full of confidence and stuff. Much like Inuyasha's, but so much less hurt.

Kouga noticed Kagome staring and looked away with an arrogant grin. " I got sources. "

Kagome nodded numbly and curled up into a ball again, her face flushed. Ah ! He must've saw me staring. Why was I anyway ? I don't think he's attractive .. well .. maybe he IS .. but not as ..

Kagome cut off her thoughts and buried her head in her arms. It's so quiet. Oh well. I might as well just ..

" So you two have nothing going on ? " Kouga suddenly asked, his firm powerful voice suddenly losing its strength. It almost sounded soft and hopeful.

Kagome raised her head, and realized that there WAS nothing going on between Inuyasha and herself. Strangely, she felt a little sad.

Reluctantly, Kagome nodded. " Yeah. There isn't. We're just .. regular .. um .. friends. " Kagome nodded again, and ignored the strange feeling in her heart, as if a string was being tugged unexpectedly.

But .. why was she feeling this way ? If you think about it .. it's been a week almost. And Kagome's been feeling weird around Inuyasha. Does she .. likehim ? Kagome cringed. No way. She can't like him. Inuyasha's destined to marry Kikyou, her older stepsister. Ugh. Thinking about it got Kagome clenching her fists again. But again, why ?

Kagome looked at Kouga, and just caught the relieved sigh he heaved. Huh ? Kagome blushed though, and tried to ignore the thought that ran through her head.

" You know, Kagome. You should visit sometime. " Kouga finally said with a bit of hesitation.

Kagome looked at him as if he was crazy. What is wrong with him ? She just MET him ! " Um .. I don't know .. " Kagome paused, a thought occurring her.

Oh just say yes. You're not gonna have a chance with Inuyasha anyways. I mean, he's married to KIKYOU !

Kagome cringed. Who said I wanted that chance ?

Yeah, who said she wanted to ?

Well .. it's OBVIOUS isn't it ?!

No ..

I give up. Say what you want.

" Kagome ? " Kouga called, cocking his head to one side and waving his hand in front of her.

Kagome jumped and blinked. " Oh. Um .. "

Do it.

Kagome sighed. " Sure, Kouga. If I'm not busy. "

" Great. I'll see you around, Kagome. " Grinning victoriously, for some reason, at Kagome, the young prince dashed off, leaving Kagome alone with her thoughts.

===

Kagome sighed. I would've sighed too. Because those cold grey eyes were following her. Again.

Kagome sighed again. She's been sighing a lot these past few minutes. Maybe if there was somebody she could vent her anger on ..

" Wench, " a familiar voice called out behind her.

Kagome's eyes unknowingly lit up. Goodbye anger, hello relief. " Inuyasha ! "

A silver haired hanyou, with crossed arms strolled up to her with a strangled look on his face. " What ? You seem happy, "

Kagome blushed and shrank back. " Yeah. I wanted some argument. Kinda. "

Inuyasha smirked. " Uh huh .. "

Kagome nodded faintly, hating the sudden awkwardness that fell between them again. Why does this always happen ? And with Inuyasha especially ?

" So, " Inuyasha cleared his voice, relieving Kagome's nervous feeling. " What were you and that wolf bag talking about ? "

Kagome froze. Sigh. Here comes that nervous feeling again, " You saw ? "

Inuyasha gave a ' feh ' and looked away at the wall. " Yeah. What was so important anyways ? Do you LIKE him or something ? "

Kagome blushed but tried to look as tough as possible. She put her hands on her hips and glared. " Inuyasha, I fail to see that this is any of your business ! He's the one who likes me and why do you even care ?! "

Inuyasha looked offended but glared back. " He likes YOU ? That's like liking a .. "

Inuyasha cut off and he stood his ground with his eyebrow twitching. Kagome's eyebrow was also twitching, and her fist looked a little red. But not as red as Inuyasha's head.

Inuyasha kept quiet a little more, letting the throbbing go down, before exploding at the young girl. " WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR ?! "

Kagome didn't say anything but sighed. Her anger expressions faded away and she closed her eyes. She raised her fingers to her temples and rubbed them wearily, turning around to walk away at the same time. " I'm too tired for this Inuyasha. If you don't believe that's absolutely nothing going on between Kouga and I, then you don't have to. " Kagome opened her eyes and looked over her shoulder. " I'm going to take a nap, okay ? See you around. " Without waiting for a response, Kagome began walking away from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looked after the girl with wide eyes and jerked his claw out towards her. " H-hey ! You can't leave me here ! You didn't tell me if you like him or not ! "

" I DON'T HAVE TO IF YOU DON'T CARE ! " Kagome yelled over her shoulder and stomped away.

Kagome rolled her eyes and clamped her hands over her ears to drown out Inuyasha yelling insults behind her. She hurried to her room and slammed the door and flopped onto her bed. Sighing, she closed her eyes. Why does he care so much ? It's not like he likes me or nothing. Hai ..

Burying her face into her soft pillow, Kagome fell asleep .. thinking of that certain hanyou.

===

Kagome yawned as bright sunlight poured through her window and cast warmth on her body. She rubbed the sleep away from her half opened eyes and stretched on her bed. Hm such a beautiful day. I better get to the bathroom before Inuyasha does !

( KAGOME AND INUYASHA'S BEDROOM ARE ACROSS THE FROM EACH OTHER AND THEIR BEDROOMS ARE AT THE END OF THE HALL. THEIR BEDROOMS ARE PRETTY FAR APART BECAUSE THE HALL END IS VERY WIDE. THE BATHROOM IS ACROSS THE OTHER END. Just to make that clear =) )

Kagome didn't even realized the first thing she thought of was the young prince and went through her big bedroom door, exposing her pink and white polka dotted pajamas to the world. She stretched at the doorway and yawned again.

At the same time, Kagome heard some footsteps stepping out to the hall as well. She sleepily turned her head and saw Inuyasha across the hall, stepped out of his bedroom, stretching as well. He turned his head and saw Kagome looking at him, and both eyes' widened.

Kagome quickly jumped back, hoping to cover her pink pajamas, but Inuyasha had already saw them. His eyes opened evilly and he started batting his eyes and cupping his hands sweetly in front of him. Kagome blushed and ran back inside her bedroom, grabbed her pillow and threw it as hard as she could at the now looking girly hanyou.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and took a step back, letting the pillow fall nicely in front of him. Too bad he was wearing his red haori again. If he wore pink fluffy bunny slippers, that would be cute.

Ignoring the boy across the hall from her, Kagome rubbed her eyes and looked for the bathroom. She groaned when she realized it was all the way across to the other side of the hallway.

About to start walking over, Kagome sensed somebody staring at her. Turning her head, she noticed Inuyasha looking at her strangely.

Kagome couldn't help but blush. W-why is he looking at me that way ?

She couldn't say anything though. He just stared. And she was getting uncomfortable.

Inuyasha slowly cracked an arrogant grin, causing Kagome's questions to multiply. She cocked her head in confusion, and saw Inuyasha look at the bathroom across the hall as well. Realization finally dawned upon her, and her eyes widened.

Without another word, both teenagers made a dash towards the bathroom, their faces etched with determination to beat the other. Kagome breathed and felt herself already tiring out but she couldn't lose to Inuyasha. He'll never let her hear the end of it !

Speeding up, Kagome pressed on, ignoring the already burning feeling in her lungs. Why does the bathroom have to be so far away ? Ugh ..

When Kagome turned to her side, she was surprised Inuyasha was a few feet running next to her. Obviously, he was going easy for her for some competition. He gave her a pompous half grin that showed his fang that made her heart fluttered strangely. " Think you can beat me, wench ? "

Kagome kept on running, hoping she didn't look as tired as she felt. " I know I can. And it's Kagome. "

" I'm a demon, did you forget, stupid girl ? "

" So ? Doesn't mean I can't beat you ! "

" Who said you were gonna ? "

" I DID ! "

" We'll see about that. "

" I'M A GIRL THOUGH ! You have to let me win ! "

" Who said ? "

" I DID ! "

" Who said I had to follow whatever you had to say .. don't say cause you did, "

" I .. uh .. SAID SO ! "

" Feh .. "

Kagome looked ahead of her, trying to ignore the smirks Inuyasha was sending towards her. I'll beat him ! He'll see that human girl can do more than he expects ! I'll run past him so fast that he won't even know what hit him ! I'll .. HEY !

Kagome's eyes widened when she saw Inuyasha's figure suddenly dash a meter in front of her, not looking back. " INUYASHA ! WHAT'RE YOU .. "

Surprisingly, Inuyasha looked at back over his shoulder. Kagome expected an irritated and victorious expression, instead, she got a panicked one. " I really need to go ! "

" GO WHERE ?! " Kagome cried, unaware of the real meaning.

Inuyasha glared at her, " DO YOU WANT A NUMBER ?! "

Kagome blushed, but didn't slow down. " Oh. Sorry ! But I wanted to use it first ! "

Drat !Kagome thought when Inuyasha turned the bathroom corner and inside. He didn't hear me. Grrr ..

" Inuya .. " Kagome opened her mouth, ready to scream her lungs at him for not being a gentleman. But she couldn't.

I ..Kagome's vision blurred, and all she could remember was the sudden pain on her head. Then complete darkness.
