Chapter 3: The Promise

The dumbstruck Princess gabbed with the interesting Hanyou for the remainder of the night, however, it wasn't a very long time till the sun was fully risen, yet to them, it seemed to last forever. When he noticed his friends stirring from their sleep he let out a small gasp. He wanted more time with her by himself. He did not want to share this fascinating, attractive, captivating female. He decided to make a quick move.

"Ahh.. Why don't I show you around the Village. I remember you telling me that you were not from here, The Village is most alive at this hour." His heart sank in delight when she nodded, bringing back the smile she had come to be fond of.

He walked over to her and gestured that he was about to pick her up to bring her to the ground, she understood and stepped closer to him. Before Inuyasha could do so, Miyu stepped in between them, growling his protest. Inuyasha slightly growled out of instinct as well.

"Baka Miyu! He is our friend, be nice!" Kagome scolded, making Inuyasha blush. Before Miyu stepped aside, he gave Inuyasha a threatening growl. Which made him laugh a small laugh.

"I don't think you're Neko likes me very much." He said, winking at Miyu.

"No, it's not that. It's just..well.. Miyu and I have lived a kind of confined life. We don't get to see very many people. Only the maids and such." She reassured him, giving Miyu a mean look.

"I see, well, don't worry Miyu" He said, turning to the Neko-youkai. " Kagome is in safe hands." With that, he picked Kagome up and carefully jumped off the building, leaving Miyu glaring off at them with large glowing eyes.

–Back at the Palace–

"Prince Sesshomaru! Welcome to our humble palace." The King welcomed the handsome young prince. Sesshomaru only nodded, looking around and inspecting the area.

"I hope your stay here will be most comfortable. I am sure that my daughter, Kagome, Will make it extra comfortable for you." He winked and summoned one of the servants to help Sesshomaru's servants with his bags.

"Where IS the Princess? I wish to meet with my future Bride." Sesshomaru said, his voice cold and distant.

"Oh! Yes, Of course. The princess must be in her chambers. Please, right this way." He said in an excited tone, showing the prince the way to his daughters room.

When they arrived he slowly opened the grand, golden doors.

"Kagome, dear. Are you decent?" The King asked, looking around the room.

"Kagome! Prince Sesshomaru is here to see you. Are you even here!" The King sighed.

"We really do need a tracker for that girl, I swear she's anywhere but where she needs to be.." The King laughed to try and lighten the mood, obviously Prince Sesshomaru was not a patient man.

"Well, find her soon. I do not like the quality of lateness and ignorance in woman.. especially in a Princess." Sesshomaru flipped back his long, silver hair. "Now. Show me to my room."

The king was taken aback. The Prince was treating him like a servant, but he had to be kind to the prince or he would never agree to marry his daughter, Then his Kingdom would never prosper.

"Yes lad. Right this way." He clapped twice and the servants followed him to a room on the East wing. On the way there, the King stopped a couple of guards walking by, speaking to the Captain amongst them.

"I need you to take half of your guards and tell them to search the castle for the Princess. Take the rest of them and tell them to search the Village for her. If she is not found here, tell the half searching here to help search in the Village. We cannot let her run loose when we have business to tend to."

The Captain nodded and the King watched them disappear around the corner of the twisted hallway..

–back in the Village–

"My, how lovely." Kagome said, looking at the different stands of goods around her. She had never seen things so plain in her life, and it was a wonderful change.

"Lovely? Kagome, you used to work in a palace and you call junk like this 'Lovely'?" Inuyasha asked, feeling kind of bad for her. She must have had a pretty bad life to call all of this mere merchandise lovely as if they were treasures.

"But Inuyasha, can't you see? The most simplest person in the world, who has nothing but his name, can be happier than someone that owns everything but the world itself." Kagome spoke with such passion. It inspired Inuyasha.

"You're really something Kagome. You're like a princess!" he praised. Kagome's eyes turned mellow .

"Thank you, Inuyasha. But I would never want to be a Princess.." She sighed. 'Much less go back to being one. No.. I'll now remain forever poor.. and maybe.. just maybe, Inuyasha will let me stay with him...forever.'

Her thoughts were positive. She despised the life she left behind, she wanted to forget it.. the only sacrifice she had to make was to never see her father again.. But that wasn't so hard..he had tried to force her to marry and have an unwanted marriage that no love could ever build from. And she hated him for that cruel act.

"Well, I'd sure like to be wealthy. I hate being poor, you can't be who you are and people don't respect you like this.." He was interrupted by Kagome's frantic voice.

"But Inuyasha, It's just the opposite!" he stared at her.

"Kagome" he mused, wondering what hardships she had been through caused by royalty. She really seemed to have a certain hate for the wealthy.

"Being rich is the way to go if you want to be spoiled and arrogant. You can't be who you are because people are always telling you want to eat and how to dress and even how to talk. You also don't want the respect of people when you're rich, because you know they only respect you so they will not die. They have to respect you.. they're forced to and you cannot make the King angry.. you can't have any friends..Or a normal life.." Kagome felt as though she was going to cry, although she was glad she had gotten that all off her chest.

"I didn't know you felt that way, Kagome. It's as if you ARE a royal." Inuyasha stepped closer to her, his eyes were suspicious.

"Not at all!" She said, laughing. "You see, Inuyasha. I was the Princesses 'Lady-in-waiting' or whatever their called. I was assigned by the king to accompany the Princess wherever she went to make sure she got everything she needed. I guess you could call me a personal servant.. or 'an assigned friend'. Though she wasn't a friend of mine. She was spoiled and selfish." She lied,

Inuyasha's eyes turned mellow.

"Same with me. I had to tend to a prince when I worked at a palace as a child. I escaped soon after my mother died when I was 10 years old. I have been surviving on my own for 7 years." He explained, giving Kagome a bright smile.

"Yes. My mother died when I was young too. I sometimes wonder what my childhood would have been like if she hadn't have died. So you are 17 now? Me too.. I have waited so long to get out of that stingy palace and be out in the world as a free girl." Inuyasha took her hand sheepishly.

"Well, know this. You don't have to be alone anymore, because I'll be there with you. If that's what you would like." Kagome beamed.

"Really.. you'd do that.. for me?" She asked, hopefully.

"Hai.." She jumped into his arms and embraced him, he returned the embrace. She lazily opened her eyes while looking over his shoulder to see the Palace guards in the distance, she gasped.

"Oh no! The guards.." Inuyasha spotted them too.

"C'mon, I can't let them find me." he whispered, dragging her down an alleyway behind some old boxes and wood.

"We should be safe here for a while... Why did you gasp when you seen the guards, Kagome? Did you do something wrong in your past that you're not proud of?." he ventured, getting the response he was asking for from the look on her face.

"They're the guards from the palace I liv- worked in. They must be looking for me. The Prince must have arrived!" She exclaimed, Inuyasha was becoming a little worried by the look on her face.

"The Princess must want her lady-servant by her side when she meets her future husband. But don't worry, I wont let them take you away, I promise." He said, pulling her slightly closer to him, Which made her blush, yet feel safe.

Their thoughts were cut off when someone grabbed the back of Inuyasha's red Haori.
