Sorry I haven't been able to update. I got a new computer and I had to store all my stuff on disks, to back up my files. Well, I had to reformat those to go into the new puter. So, I lost this entire chapter and at least half of Bonded and the rewritten chapter of AoM. Also, school had me tied up for like... forever. I couldn't update –I barely had time for writing at all- and then I got into something totally new called dolls. My summer is just as hectic as my school time. I'm writing them, yes I am! And now that I do have time on my hands, I'm going to start writing again!!!! YAY! . I'll try to update my stories ASAP from each chapter, and I'm going to try to get each one by one. Teehee, then I'll probably start some new ones. I got into this show called Case Closed that I want to write a story on but I'm going to wait until I finish the 3 I have. SO SO SORRY EVERYONE! I promise to finish these stories, that I do. Buah.

These are words that will be listed in every chapter of every one of my stories. They are things we all need to know. I may not use them all in my stories but many others (for some reason) don't list the words at the top of the page. There is one word commonly used to describe each main character of InuYasha's group, Greetings and excuses and a few insults. This is the most commonly used stuff so if you remember this stuff, you should be able to read a lot of the InuYasha stuff on ff.net.

Miko- priestess (Kagome, Kikyou, Kaede); hanyou- half human/half demon (InuYasha, Naraku, Jinengi); kitsune- fox sprit (Shippou); houshi- monk, low rank priest (Miroku); Tai-jiya- demon exterminator (Sango); neko- cat (Kirara); youkai- demon (Sesshomaru, Kirara, Shippou, and a whole bunch of others); minna- everyone

Moshi- hello; Sayonara- bye; Ja ne- see you later; konnichiwa- good afternoon; ohayo (gozaimasu)- good morning; konbanwa- good evening; oyasumi nasai- good night; onegai- please; Arigatou- thank you; do itashimashite- you're welcome; gomen (nasai, ne)- sorry; hai- yes; iie- no; nani- what?; nani mo- nothing; Shikon no tama- the jewel of the four souls; Shikon no kakera- the jewel shards

Baka- stupid; ahondara- retard/fool; etchi- letch; hentai- pervert; kuso- damn; yarou- bastard; jamakasui- pain in the ass; ketsusana- asshole;

And Miroku's favorite phrase: Watashi no ko o unde kudsai?- will you bear my child?

Chapter 4-

Kagome couldn't wait to finally meet her father's new friend. He kept talking about him like he was the greatest person in the world. Was he really hat great? She didn't know, her father never been the one to have good taste in friends. He always ended up with some crazy person and something stupid happened that she had to get him out of. She just hoped this one was as nice as he said he was.

She tried to tie the obi around her waist but she couldn't quite reach. Either she had a big waist or arms were short. She dropped her arms and saw they came down to mid-thigh. No, she must be fat then! Oh no! Would InuYasha look at her then? Seeing she's fat as a chicken? She sighed and sat on her bed.

InuYasha watched her sigh and move over to the bed. He wasn't the one for spying but... there was something about her that made him want to stare at her forever. He walked into the room. "Having trouble?"

She looked up and smiled. How was it that InuYasha was always there when she needed him? Oh well, it's not like she was complaining. "Hai," she said softly and blushed, holding up the deep blue obi. She stood, her back facing him when he came over and took the obi from her.

"So, what's wrong with the obi thing?" he asked, tying it behind her back.

"I'm not sure... I couldn't do anything with it."

"I think it's because you might have been holding it wrong." He replied, turning her around and adjusting the front. "You had one part in your hand and it was long but the other part was short. That was probably what did it."

She smiled at him; of course! She always did that, why didn't she notice before? It was a stupid mistake and she felt stupid for it happening. "Of course, InuYasha. It happens all the time. It's so silly of me."

"No, it's alright." He smirked and wrapped his strong arms around her, hugging her. "I just don't how you women wear these things in the first place." He playfully tugged at the kimono. Walking over to the window, he noticed the sundial, indicating they needed to be down with her father and King Takaku for dinner. "Come on, wench," he said, pulling her over one shoulder and racing down the hall.

"InuYasha put me down right this instant!!!!!!" she screamed and he momentarily let go of her, while he was still running, causing her to scream louder. "No! No! Don't put me down!!!"

He smirked and got to the hall that led down to the dining room. "I'll set you down here 'cause I don't want any curious looks from your father."

"I agree, he's the patron of hentai thoughts!"

"I thought that was Miroku."

"No, Miroku's the patron of hentai moves, like groping and stuff. The first thing my father would think is that we were "playing" and he'd take me aside and ask when's the baby due."

"We're not doing anything like that..." ::Sicko father...:: He held out his arm to her. "Milady?"

She giggled girlishly and took his arm. "Arigatou, Sir Knight."

Higurashi looked up at his daughter and her companion, his chancellor. They looked really happy together, it reminded him of back when he was courting her mother. He smiled at her and she caught it, smiling back as InuYasha took the chair out by Naraku for her to sit. Then he took his own seat next to Kagome. Higurashi smirked; the boy was obviously interesting in his daughter. He wondered when he'll be hearing little moans and groans in the night. He had to raise his hand to hide his grin. ::Maybe my grandchildren will have furry dog ears.::

Kagome turned to InuYasha. "Does this guy seem a little funny to you?" She asked, motioning to Naraku. "He's giving off these bad vibes. I can't take them." She shook her head.

"What are you talking about 'I can't take them'? I can tell myself that he's pure evil, but that isn't affecting me anyway at all."

She looked distressed and glanced at her father talking to the evil king. "I feel it too strong. It's making me sick."

He noticed how her hand gently rubbed her stomach over her obi and he frowned. "You okay?"

"I'll be fine in a few minutes; I guess I just have to adjust. I've never been around something this evil." She sighed and looked gratefully at the woman who brought them their food.

"Daughter," she heard her father call. "You haven't introduced yourself to King Tanaku, you either, InuYasha." He chided them and Kagome smiled.

"Excuse me, King Tanaku." She politely bowed her head toward him. "I am Higurashi Kagome, princess of the north kingdom. This is my friend InuYasha, Chancellor of the order of the Garter for my father."

"It's nice to meet both of you," Naraku replied, not covering the malice in his voice, sneering a little bit at InuYasha. Higurashi started to talk about Kagome and they were left alone for the time being.

"I don't like this guy, InuYasha," she whispered, knowing he could hear her clearly. He looked at her and sighed.

"Neither do I." He frowned and placed a clawed hand on her shoulder. "It'll be okay."

"Kagome-hime?" She heard Naraku call her. She turned to him questionably. "How do you like it here?" he asked, placing his hand on her thigh. She trembled as her body felt a wave of evil ki flow through her. It ripped trough her stomach and she pushed the pain away by gripping onto InuYasha, who stared at her startled.

"I love my home, King Tanaku," she answered politely. She gripped InuYasha's hand with a death grip, pleading with him to do something. InuYasha glared over Kagome's head at Naraku, who smirked. Naraku moved his hand and laid it back upon his lap, smiling wickedly.

Higurashi went back to his share of rambling but Naraku wasn't paying him any mind, glancing at Kagome and receiving glares from InuYasha. She smiled at InuYasha, but winced when she felt Naraku's hand squeezed her thigh. "I think I've lost my appetite. I feel kind of bad, InuYasha."

He took her hand and she moved to face him move, out of Naraku's reach. He glared over at the evil king, turning a worried glance back to Kagome. "Are you okay?"

She clutched her stomach and gave a low, hushed moan. "I don't think so, InuYasha. It's his youki, his aura, his everything. It's pure evil! I can't..." she sucked in a pained breath. "I can't take it, InuYasha."

He frowned and stood, not removing his hands from hers. He bowed to the king. "Milord, the Lady Kagome isn't feeling well. I will take it upon myself to care for her, if you do not disapprove."

The King frowned. "What is wrong, daughter?" he asked, turning to Kagome.

Kagome looked up at her father wearily, knowing that if she didn't leave soon she would pass out. She swooned slightly. "Chichi-ue, my stomach hurts oh so badly, and my back, it aches. May I be excused?"

Her father looked at her sadly, hating that she was hurting and heard her gasp as a sudden shock of pain rushed throughout her form. She saw her grip InuYasha's hand and smiled, nodding to InuYasha. "I know you will do good by her, ne, Chancellor?"

InuYasha nodded swiftly and bowed his thanks, hearing another groan and tighten her grip on his hand. His heart went out to the girl. "Hai, Milord, thank you." She let go of her hand to swiftly but fluidly scoop her up in his arms and bounce her once, to make sure she was comfortable. Absently, he pressed his lips to her temple, whispering reassuring words to her as he carried her up the steps and to her room.

Naraku smirked maliciously. "They look like quite the couple," he heard Higurashi say, sighing with a happy face.

Naraku just kept on smirking, noting how beautiful the girl was. He also noted the way she flinched when he touched her. Was it that she could feel his youki? Could she feel the evil radiating off of him? If she could, she was very special indeed. Poor girl; she should savor her days with the hanyou for when Naraku got a hold of her, she wouldn't be living long enough to see the hanyou again... or maybe in the next life. Bah! Who believed in those things anyway?

Oh well ::If there is a next life and I somehow die, I'll conquer the world then too.:: Mindfully, he laughed evilly in his sick way.

InuYasha set Kagome on her bed carefully; she curled into a ball and whimpered. He sat down next her and shook her gently. "Kagome, please, you must tell me what's wrong."

"My back and my stomach the worst..." she groaned. He pulled her to him and placed her back to chest with him. He pulled her hands away from her stomach and to his hair hanging around his face. It might be painful when she pulled but at least she wasn't hurting herself more. He placed his own hands on her stomach. She cringed.

"Please, Kagome, trust me," he whispered. He moved his fingers gently, massaging her tummy and feeling it lightly, pressing harder in some places. She flinched sometimes and he laid her down once more when he was finished. "I'm going to do some things and by time I'm done, you should feel better than ever, okay, Kagome?"

She nodded, clutching her stomach while he searched her room for the herbs that he would need, which were stored in jars in one corner. He picked out four; elderflower, grundleroot, marigold petals, and lemon-mint. He placed them in a nearby stone bowl and ground it with a clean grinding rock until it was a smooth cream.

He went over to sit by her and sat quietly until she looked at him. "I'll have to put this on your back," he said shyly. "So I'll make sure it feels good. I don't want to hurt you."

"You wouldn't hurt me, InuYasha. I know that already," she said softly. "But I will need help out of this." She tugged at the kimono and he sighed, not really wanting to do it. It would be too tempting especially her... no he wouldn't try to do anything, he was trying to help her. He untied the obi at the back and she sat with her back to him as he slipped the kimono open and off of her bare shoulders. Beneath were breast bindings, or "bras" he knew he would have to take off. She nodded to him, her hands again clawing at her badly hurting stomach. "I trust you." She whispered.

He smiled at her, leaning forward and wrapping her into a loving embrace. "Thank you, Kagome." He whispered, untying the bra from the front. He fumbled with it for a moment before the bindings he laid by her bed on the table stand, motioning for her to lay down on her stomach, turning away before he could see too much of her.

Once she lay down, she sank into the covers, her hands squeezing the pillow her head was resting on. He scooped the cream into his hand and rubbed it in his hands. Then he rubbed it along her back. She felt her relax beneath his fingertips. "It feels nice," she sighed, snuggling into the bed even more. He smiled faintly, knowing it wasn't only necessary but she liked what he was doing. He smoothed it down her spine, massaging the small bones of her vertebrae. Then he moved along her sides, keeping somewhat low not to hit anything "inappropriate."

After her massage, he quickly got her a night kimono, swiftly wrapping it around her so he didn't even touch her skin. He gently pulled her against him, sighing her name. "Kagome, do you feel better?" He felt her nod. He laid her back down and got back up, going to his own room for a moment, the look he gave her saying he wouldn't leave for too long. She snuggled under the covers for warmth.

When in his room he flopped on his bed and sighed. The girl was driving him nuts! He had UNDRESS HER. His breath sped up and he groaned. No wasn't the time to get... "aroused." He searched through the few things he had and pulled out a rosary and a ring. They should help keep the vibes away. After calming himself, he returned to her room.

As he walked in, he couldn't believe this was the girl he was taking care of. Her white sleeping kimono spread beneath her like a cloud, her beautiful face showing a slight smile. What was she thinking about that made her smile? ::Hopefully me...:: He made his way over to the girl and held her in his arms.

She felt strong arms pick her up and shake her from her fantasy. She got a good whiff of his scent when he hugged her to him, him whispering something like "You worried me." He then took her hand a slipped a ring on her finger. She looked at it, it was beautiful. Gold with three sapphire jewels. She felt him pull her back and slip a necklace around her neck.

"These will serve as wards, Kagome. So when you have to go around that guy you won't feel bad." He pulled her back to him and stroked her hair. "Go to sleep, I'm here to protect you."

She sighed contently; she could get used to this. Her small fists clenched into his clothes and pulled gently. When he looked at her, she smiled and used what remained of her strength to pull herself up and kiss him, tenderly, on his cheek. She could feel it grow hot under her lips. "Arigatou, InuYasha."

She leaned back down into his arms as he moved so his back was against the head board. She cuddled into his arms, her head under his chin, hands twisted into the cloth that clothed his chest. She frowned, not being able to get to sleep. "Could you... tell me a story, InuYasha?" she whispered.

He was shocked beyond belief. A story? What was he, her father? InuYasha smirked mentally; he was probably old enough to be her grandfather. "About what, Kagome?" he asked.

"About when you were little," her petite voice answered. Her eyes shone with curiosity in the dimly lighted room.

"I'll tell you a story that my mother used to tell me."

She nodded happily.

"Once there was a little boy, he was a prince who lived with his mother, father, and older brother." He smiled at her, pulling her to lay against his chest more comfortably. "They ruled well over their lands but one day an evil man came and tried to take their land away." He saw her frown. "Their father fought till his death, but it was honorable and he was celebrated by all who knew him. He had still killed the man who tried to take over his kingdom. Well, after that, the King's oldest son took the throne, since he was old enough but the little boy, now a man, didn't have any place in the world. So he traveled.

"One day he came to a town where a nymph lived. She said that she lost her favorite cloak in the woods. She was so sad that he went to go get it but then he encountered a monster. It was as tall as a tree grows and as wide as your room. He tried to run but couldn't so he fought. They fought for two days, and with many wounds he came out victorious.

"So he got the cloak and went back to the nymph, who thanked him and promised him that if there was anything that had to do with wood, that she'd help him with, since she was a wood nymph. So onto the next town he went. There he found an oni (ogre), who couldn't protect itself because of a spell. He promised to see what he could do to help, but he might not be able to break the spell. The oni thanked him gratefully and gave him his horn. The man took the horn and it was made into a sword. When he returned, he gave it back to the oni, and it broke the spell. He was happy that he had done good and went on with a new friend waiting for him to visit.

"One day, when he was walking, he met a beautiful young lady and fell in love with her instantly. She was beautiful with midnight hair and eyes the color of dark cherry wood."

"She must have been very beautiful," Kagome whispered. He nodded.

"She had a big problem, an evil person was after her and she wanted to get away from it all. He spent a lot of his time with her, learning things about her that most people didn't know was possible as a trait for a beauty as she. One day, she agreed to marry him but her father was strict and sent him on a quest to prove he loved her. He had to get an oni's fang, and a wood nymph's spell staff.

"He went to his friends previously mentioned and they gladly helped, so he was able to marry the girl and live a happy life with her, with many children and much love." He had cut it short, seeing that the girl was already sleeping upon him. He rocked her gently. He watched her tenderly, thinking about her and what they had went through together that day. He smiled, once again asking himself;

Did he believe in love at first sight?

Stroking her hair softly as she slept in his arms, he came to a decision.

Yes, he believed in love at first sight.

And he was in love.

He scowled as he slipped into the room, opening the door just enough to let Higurashi poke his head in. The King of the North cooed. The King of the South snarled.

Higurashi smiled. "They make a wonderful couple. I want at least three grandchildren. Maybe two girls and one boy... or two boys and one girl... But if these two got married who knows how many children they'd have. He is part dog."

Naraku smirked at the King and cocked his head, pretending to be interested in this conversation. "They'd be quite busy then."

"That's the point. One day together and they can't keep their hands off of each other. Imagine what will happen if they didn't have to hold back. He probably had taken her the second he got into this house, the dog." Higurashi rambled, grinning from ear to ear.

"You really are a pervert."

"And you're not? I see the way you look at that girl and I see that snarl against the boy having her. I noticed when you put your hands on my daughter. Look, as long as you don't hurt her, I'm fine."

Naraku smirked for real this time. The man was oblivious to his evil power, either that or he was just evil... no, this man was stupid. Either way, he was going to have this power this woman possessed. The same power her dear cousin possessed. Poor thing, he'd have to kill her too. Chuckling, he left the room and pattered down the hall to where he was staying.

She was up and bouncing around before he had even woken up. Her gentle lips upon his forehead were what woke him up. "Ohayo, sleepy head!" she quipped.

"Ohayo, Hime," he whispered, and at the point of not really being awake but was, he took her face in his hands and pressed his lips against hers softly, a good morning kiss. He smoothed back some of her hair with his hands tenderly and ran a finger under her chin before pulling away. Then he flopped back down, mumbling about "5 more minutes".

She was shocked, yes. She was taken aback, yes. But she melted to him like butter to a warm piece of bread. Oh, was he good! ::Oh gods, what am I thinking?!:: She blushed as she shook him, trying to get him up. ::Oh well, if he can kiss me like that then I can kiss him like that.:: she reasoned, pulling his face, half lidded eyes, towards her.

His eyes shot open when she kissed back, taking his lips with tender passion as she tried to wake him up. Was this the way he was to wake up in the morning for now on? Could he? With the woman he loved treating him like this? He almost blushed visibly at the thought. He had decided before that he, indeed, had fallen in love with her.

She squeaked when he pulled her back to the bed and rolled them so he hovered over her, taking his lips away, he looked into her eyes with his golden ones. Her hands fisted in his silver hair but he didn't seem to notice. It was just them and a love between them that had grown so quickly that they didn't think it was possible...

That and that pesky knock at the door...

After being told that breakfast would start soon, Kagome decided to show InuYasha something. She led him by the hand into a small indoor shrine. She bowed at the alter, pulling a small black box from beneath it. She turned to look at him, and smiled sweetly before going to him.

She opened the small black box to reveal a bright pink jewel, shimmering in its own light. She brought his and to rest on it but when nothing happened she grinned. "You don't want it?"

"How could I? I don't know what the hell it is," he snorted.

She giggled and tweaked on of his ears. "Well, this is the Shikon no Tama. It's a magical jewel with awesome power that can grant the evil one power and the pure one, one wish." She looked at it sadly. "I protect, I can use it but I don't want to. I have no reason to."

"This wish that all the peasants become all rich and stuff like you," he scoffed lightly, playfully, knowing it would hit her rough spot.

"Look," she snapped at him. "I've thought about it but it would mess up the economy, it would mess up ruler ship. We have status for a reason, because people need someone wise to govern over them. I intend to prosper where my father has failed. Which he as done miserably."

He wrapped his arms around her, hugging her gently. "You don't have to tell that to me, Kagome, I know that you'll be a fine queen someday." He sighed and stroked her hair. "What's with this thing anyway?"

"Well," she sighed. "A few years ago, it was in my cousin's possession. Her name was Kikyou, we were like sisters. She taught me everything I know about herbs and spells and helped me develop my powers. One day an evil man came to where we were in the village. He identified himself as simply Naraku. He killed her and tried to take the Shikon jewel. I was able to hold him off on my own until he left but with my injuries I almost died. I don't know how I made it though that fight.

"Ano... I was entrusted with the Shikon no tama because I am the only one that's not youkai that has the strength to guard it. But most youkai that touch it, taint it and it takes a lot of power to purify. But you... you didn't taint it. So I ask you, if I die for whatever reason, protect the Shikon jewel until someone can use it."

"But you can use it, why don't you use it?" he asked, still holding her in his arms. She leaned and rested on his chest.

"Because I don't have a pure reason to use it for. When I come up with one, then I'll use it. But I'm not sure if I'll be alive that long."

He got mad. "Don't say things like that! You will live long enough to have great, great grandchildren. Because I'll make sure of that, alright? I promise I will."

"It's alright, InuYasha, there's no need to get upset over me."

He lightly kissed her forehead. "Don't worry about it. I promise I will protect you, always."

He chuckled at the mirror the small girl, grinning his usual evil grin. "You will, ne, InuYasha? You think you will save that miko? I will kill her and you won't even know what happened. After I get Higurashi to agree to betrothing her to me."

He gave a loud cackle that resounded through his chambers.

"Like he'll have a choice..."

End Chapter

I hope you liked that chapter! Sorry for not having the PRs this time, I'm extremely busy and I have some stuff to do. Laters everyone!!!

Another note, with this new editor they have, I have to use the line breaks instead of my usual breaking system. Don't let this confuse you, it's still different part of the story, usually it's switching from one place to another or one viewpoint to another.
