PROLOUGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome is a princess of a very important land, but she has talked her parents into letting her pass herself off as a commoner during the summer every year since she was 13. She goes to their summerhome, a local shrine and lives on her own for three months. She has made a few friends since she has been doing this: Sango, Kagura, and Kanna along with their boy friends Miroku, Naraku, and Shippo respectively. Today was her third day back at the shrine on her fourth year of doing it, meaning she is seventeen. Her home life had been hectic because her parents were starting to think of her getting married, luckily she had managed to escape before the subject was explored any farther and was now hapily enjoying an ice cream cones with her friends, no boyfriends were there.

"Kagome.....we gotta get you a boyfriend." said Sango

Kagome nearly choked on her ice cream (how this is possible I have no idea)
and sputtered out a exasperated, "WHAT?!"

" You need one....we all have one. We could do quadriple dates!" added Kanna

"But I don't even live here, I go back home every end of August"

"It only has to be temporary. You can get one and then just dump him at the end of your visit", said the coniving Kagura.

"That sounds so mean though!"

"So...at least you'll have fun while it lasts!", piped up Kanna

"By the way Kagome where do you liv-"

"Okay I'll do it!", shouted Kagome. Anything to keep her friends from finding out her secret.

.........and so the boy hunting begins

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's just a fling. It's just a fling, repeated Kagome in her mind as her friends dragged her into the mall to search for possible "boyfriend material". She hated to do this, but she would do anything to keep her friends from knowing she was a princess, she didn't want to be treated differently.

Kagome had made friends before, hiding the truth about how she was a princess. The same thing always happened: she would eventually feel bad for lying and tell her friends. They would all promise to not treat her diferentley, and they all lied. They worried about doing thigs that would "offend" her and she couldn't take it anymore. She had these recent friends for two summers already and didn't want to lose them...so she kept her secret safe.

She woke from her memories to find herself being dragged into a sports store.

"Hey, I hate sports." she said to her friends.

"Where else would you find boys?" they asked in a know how voice that immedeatly shut Kagome up as they entered.

Well....Here goes!! were Kagome's last thoughts before she stepped through the door.

Kagome wandered from isle to isle, her friends had left drooling after some guy. In and out of each isle she went looking at the junk for each sport.... golf..... soccer.. ...football.....tennis......baseball......oof! She felt her body slam into something stable. Rubbing her head she scrambled to her knees. ' Must not have noticed a wall.....'
That's when a human hand came into view, without looking up she grabbed it and pulled herself up. Then she looked up into the face of the man who helped her up and what she saw made her eyes widen. A mane of silver hair framed a strong face, set with golden eyes. She looked him up and down and realized that it wasn't a wall she had ran into, but a certain someone's rock solid, well-toned chest. Blushing slightly she bowed, muttering a quiet 'Gomen nasai' and then standing straight again. She gave him a smile, which he returned and turned to walk away. After taking a few steps away she found that she wasn't moving anymore and there was a tug at her wrist. Turning around she found that the end of the arm holding her hand belonged to none other than the man that helped her. He put on a little pouty face and said, "You didn't even tell me you name."

"Neither did you." was Kagome's reply.

"Mine's Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha hmmm....," Kagome pondered it a bit and then smiled brightly at him, "Mine's Kagome."

"Nice to meet you Kagome."

And that's how it all started.......
