:angry mob chases her around:

Me: AHHHH! NUUU!

Random mobster1: Let's flog her!

Random mobster2: Yes! A flogging is in order!

:the whole crowd/mob cheers:

Me: … '.';;; . :runs wildly for it:

Disclaimer:singing to the tune of the 'Oh Spaghetti' song: In the feudal era, all cover in blood, Kikyou shot Inu, with a sacred arrow. And sadly I do not, own our favorite dog-boy, I don't even own, stock in him. (Bad singing! . )

"Okay," Inuyasha said to himself as he whipped his sweaty palms on his cotton trousers, "I'll just up to her, and tell her how I feel. Yeah, that's it, just tell her how I feel…"

Because the amber-eyed teen was looking down, he did not see the girl heading his way.

"OOUFFF!" Kagome said as she fell on her butt, dropping the folded laundry and scattering it all over the floor. "Oww…" Kag said as she rubbed her offended bum.

"What the hell! Watch where you are going wench!" the silver haired teen growled before looking at who he had run into.

"ME! You ran into me! I was taking this laundry to Mother!"

"Mother? Don't you think you should take it to Mistress Higurashi, slave!" Inu said indignantly.

"I wa-," Kagome started but was cut off. A yelling had started in the main hall.

"ATTENTION! ATTENTION ALL SLAVES AND NOBLEMEN AND WOMEN! MASTER KOUGA FROM THE WEST HAS COME TO PAY A VISIT! ALL SLAVES WILL PUT DOWN THEIR WORK AND IMMEDIATELY MEET MASTER KOUGA! AT ONCE!" When the announcement was over, Inuyasha let out a soft curse. Brushing past Kagome he made his was to the main hall. Kagome stared icy daggers into his back as she slowly picked up the laundry and headed in the opposite direction of Inuyasha. She headed toward the chambers of Mistress Higurashi's daughter.

Kouga looked at the tapestries and drapes of the Higurashi Manor. Golden colored lions stared back at him. Oranges, yellows, even reds in different shades decorated the hall majestically. He looked away, for staring at the bright colors strained his eyes. 'When I marry Kagome, I'll get rid of all these bright colors and replace them with the purple and silver crest of the West,' the bright-eyed prince said to himself as he scanned the hall.

"KOUGA! My boy!" Master Higurashi said coming up behind the prince and slapping a hand on his shoulder, making Kouga's knees buckle. "How are you? How have you been?"

Kouga forced a smile as he replied: "Just fine Master Higurashi, just fine."

"How is your father fairing?" the old man inquired as he started leading Kouga toward the tea room. "Well, I hope."

"Yes, yes, father is just fine at the moment. His health started to fail him in the fall, but now he is back in remission, all is well."

"I'm sorry to hear he had a slight downfall, but I'm delighted to hear he is doing better. Well, I know you know why I invited you here, and it wasn't to talk about your father," the graying Higurashi said, slightly chuckling.

Kouga laughed a little, slightly uncomfortably.

"What I asked you here for, was the courtship of my daughter, Higurashi Kagome," he said in all seriousness.

Kagome stared at her father from behind a drape with wide eyes. She dropped the silver tray of tea she was carrying and ran toward her chambers. She couldn't believe what she had just heard.

A.N./ OKIE DOKIE! Third chappie done! Gosh, I do suck! . Please review! I love you!
