No Ordinary Princess

Chapter 3

Snoopy said, "I wonder where Kagome is going at this hour of night… She's taking all of her belongings with her, but she isn't running away is she? Unless she's finally going back, but how will the other's react to that?"

~*^.^*~ Last time on No Ordinary Princess Chapter 2:

::"Come on Miroku! All these goddamn years and you never told me my wife's

name!All I know is that it starts with 'Ka-'."

"Isn't that good enough?"

"No. Why are you so sure that it starts with a 'K' anyways?"

"You're mother never showed you, but-" he glanced towards the door before continuing, "the princess gave you her first letter, 'K', in gold as a ring. The ring is part of another ring that has your first letter, an 'I', that will join together when they find each other."::

"Why? As far as I know you're the big 'I don't love anybody and never will' guy. Why the interest in this girl?"

"Because of something… There's this feeling inside of me that sais she's still alive. If I only knew her name I could probably find her!"::

"So, what exactly did Princess Sango say to your courting?"

"She threw a boomerang at me and told me to get off her fathers lands."

"That is a …?"

"Yes!"

"I thought so…"

"InuYasha I still don't understand why you're so caught in this whole situation. For all we know she could be dead, plus even if she was alive I would think you would want her to stay away from you."

"Any princess is better than Kikyou, don't you think?"

"Well, from what you tell me, yes. Still, are you sure that's the only reason? Are you sure you don't want an explanation as to why she hasn't come back all these years?"

"Well, knowing I can kill you if you said anything, yes. I want an explanation. I want to see if… If she's the same person, cheery smile and all that."

"Sounds like you were in love with her. Don't blame you either. The girl was an unexplainable joy. Everytime I went near her I felt happy and she smiled at me non-stop, and when she was angry she was a beautifully rebellious woman, though she was merely five at the time. Her eyes shone with this fire that could burn you and you would regret it for a long time."

"Well, would you mind telling me how you know all of this?"

"Oops! Did I forget to tell you that I was her childhood friend and that I have her letters still? Ehehe, I completely forgot about that… I have to leave now. Can't be late for dinner with my parents. Bye!"

"Miroku!" he yelled, but it was too late. Miroku was probably already at the gates, leaving. He wanted to know more about the girl that inhabited his dreams since he was seven. He wanted to know how she thought, what she thought, and if she thought about him. So many things he would ask her if he could. Nevertheless he had to bathe and then go downstairs to share a dinner with his parents and brother.

Kagome watched as the sun started it's journey beyond the horizon. Her heart sped up knowing that as soon as she was ready and the sun was no longer visible she would leave. Her destiny lay before her, yet it depended heavily on the steps she was about to take. She sighed and served dinner for her foster parents. After she had left a tray with some soup and tea for Kikyou she excused herself with the excuse that she wasn't feeling well and would much rather sleep. She closed the door behind her and started gathering her jewelry. Her clothes were already packed up in a small yellow rucksack and anything else of value she would carry with her in her pockets. She fingered her necklace which held the only proof that she was the princess, a ring with an "I". She blinked back tears as she remembered the cook, Nana, ushering her out the backdoor and telling her to run. The dark had frightened her, men had chased her as well as dogs. Branches with long finger-like branches that had ripped up the dress she had been wearing. She had cried, but never stopped. She never did find Miroku, and it was that order that she was now following after long years of waiting, not knowing what to do. Now she was completing her task, going back to Prince Miroku and his family. To her old life as a princess, as Princess Higurashi.

She crept out as soon as she heard the door to her parents door close. She tiptoed out and closed the door quietly. She picked up the bag and walked out the front door. She sighed and went to get her favorite horse, Fury, out of the stables. The horse kept fairly quiet and she was thankful for it and kept whispering 'Thank-you's to it all the way outside. She tied the bag to the saddle and climbed on it herself. She grabbed the reigns and drew in a big breath.

"Hyah!" She sped off like lighting into the forest that connected her to the castle grounds and the market in front of it. She knew somebody had seen her leave, but it didn't matter now. They would eventually find out she had left, and soon they would know why.

Shippou watched as she left on a horse towards the marketplace in front of the Eastern Castle. The big question on his mind was a rather troublesome one. Where was she going?

"I wonder… I'm pretty sure she's not running away, unless… Unless she really is what me and Souta thought and she's finally going back! Still, I'm afraid for her safety. Lady Kagome may be good at sword fighting, but the men in the forest are professionals. She's like a sister to me and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to her. I had to see Miroku anyway…"

~*^.^*~ You like? I'm trying to make these short! I really am! Well, if you saw my other story you would agree that it's short too! Lmao, gos to go now… What? Fluffy? Oh! The snoopy! Lol!~*^.^*~

Snoopy sais: 'I almost ran this man over and he sais I'm beautiful? What is going through his twisted mind? Any normal person would be screaming their heads off! So much for being normal and riding past this guy…'
