No Ordinary Princess

Chapter 4

~*^.^*~ I'm on a roll tonite! Haha, I wonder when I actually uploaded this… My frickin computer wouldn't go to the Fanfiction.net site for some reason… It really sucks… I can't upload the end of the other story yet… Aaaah! Back to the story…

Last time on No Ordinary Princess Chapter 3:

:: 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.::

Snoopy said: '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…'

As the carriage stumbles into the castle courtyard Miroku had a serious face that denied that he was actually usually a rather unserious person not to be taken seriously. 'I can tell that something big is coming my way. It has 'hands off' written all over, but what could happen? Unless it's Sango saying she will marry me, I don't think it's that big.' Miroku's frown deepened and he got off and went inside to join his family who was probably almost done with the dinner. He sheepishly grinned at his mother and father whom were still at the table, waiting for him.

"Hello. Mother. Father. How are you this lovely evening?"

"Miroku where were you this time?"

"At Prince InuYasha's, like always."

"All day long?"

"Of course not, I went to Princess Sango's first."

"Dear Kami, leave the poor girl alone. As much as I want you to marry off into a good marriage I don't think you should be pressuring the girls into giving you answers!"

"I was wooing her with my charms that as a Montalver I have, or am I mistaken father?"

"I won't even honor that with an answer. I'm off to sleep. Good night all."

"Good night. Mother you should head up too."

"Will you be alright by yourself?"

"Of course! Now go sleep, looks like you need it."

"Lilia, you heard the boy. Come up with me."

Miroku was left alone at the dinner table contemplating his feelings about everything going on in his life, and what was to come. He wondered what it was that was going to affect him and his best friend so deeply in a while. He just couldn't get it out of his head. Something told him to go out to the forest, but not tomorrow. He got up and sighed. He headed to the stables but stopped when he remembered the last time he had tried to sneak out on horse…

:: "Intruder! Surround the castle! Catch the thief at all costs dead or alive!"::They had caught him alright, almost killed him too. His mother and father had given him a tough lecture that made him rethink his decision at the moment. He walked out through the front door and quietly walked out of the small door on the gate. He would just have to walk all the way. It wasn't that long, only a couple of miles.

Kagome felt the air flip her hair this way and that and couldn't help but feel like she was free. The cool air against her skin, her face, it was all like some sort of dream. As she got closer and closer to the marketplace she couldn't help but feel her heart speed up it's pace. The last bend was ahead and she giggled with glee but she was caught short when she noticed someone was walking down the middle of the road.

He watched as somebody, judging by the hair a girl, came speeding at him from the forest on a horse. He froze in place knowing this was the person he had been waiting for. This was the cause of the great event that would cause mayhem on their lives. As she came closer and closer he could distinguish some of her features, which astounded him greatly, but he also noticed she wasn't slowing down. He was in her way and she wasn't slowing down! Oh well, he wasn't moving.

She watched as she kept up her speed and the guy didn't move. What was he thinking? She decided that she could probably avoid him by moving off to the side, but he just moved in front of her. Did he have a death wish? She couldn't kill a man! She was so close she could've spoken to him in a whisper when she pulled on the reigns. Her heart was beating rapidly when she got off to do something about the guy in the middle of the road.

"A-Are you out of your mind?!"

"You are so beautiful young maiden. I must know your name!"

"Huh? Kagome, why?"

"It's just that your beauty astounds me…"

"I almost ran you over!"

Shippou watched from a safe distance what transpired between the prince and Kagome. Kagome probably didn't know that the man she was speaking to was the one and only prince, but nevertheless Miroku would try and mess with her mind. He was probably thinking she was just another peasent. Oh was he in for it if he touched her!

"I know, I know. Where are you off to in such a hurry? Did you say your name was Kagome?"

"I'm off to find Prince Miroku. Care to show me the way? And yes, my name is Kagome."

"Why of course."

"Well? Which way?"

"One step up."

"I'd be right in front of-"

"Exactly."

Kagome fainted and Miroku caught her. He was completely surprised at what had just transpired and couldn't wait to get an explanation. Most girls slapped him when they found out who he was, they didn't faint. Not one of them had ever fainted. He watched as Shippou came out of the shadow of the forest and stared at him with a deathly glare.

"I didn't hit her."

"Well then why did she faint?"

"How'm I supposed to know? She didn't tell me."

"What did you say to her?"

"I asked her her name and told her who I was. That's all."

"Well no wonder!"

"You know? Tell me!"

"You'll find out later lech."

"I'm royalty!"

"Yeah, in lecher town!"

"Ha. Ha. I'm laughing so hard," he said monotonously as he put Kagome in Shippou's arms. He got onto the horse and asked him to give her into his arms. Shippou looked at him like he was some sort of maniac. He immediately explained that he intended to take her to the castle as it was too late to take her into a hospital in the marketplace. Shippou reluctantly gave her up to Miroku's arms.

"Come Shippou, you'll receive extra pay for coming to work early."

"I was guarding Kagome from more people like you!"

"Yes well… Come, we must get her safely to the castle. Uncivilized demons may lurk around still and we don't want this precious tresure to get hurt, now do we?"

"Whatever. All you need to know is that she is like a sister to me and if you hurt her you'll be sorry. If you touch her you'll be sorry. Anything else she doesn't like, you'll be sorry."

"What if she does?"

"You'll be sorry."

"……"

~*^.^*~ Miroku'll be sorry for anything huh? Probably not. He isn't sorry about groping Sango eventhough he gets slapped for it 24-7! I wonder wut would happen if Jaken fell in love with Sango's boomerang… I must go and give my imagination a work out then, lol! Thanks to all that reviewed…~*^.^*~

Snoopy sais: "Kagome? As in Princess Higurashi Kagome?!"
