Okay I know your probably thinking… FINALLY! Yeah I know but I have a real good explanation. School has been hectic being the first days and all. I'll promises to try and update as soon as I can but I also can't let my grades lower. So just bare with me I won't let this story hang. Don't worry it'll just take a little longer since I'm in school.

Thanks to all my reviewers out there! LOVE YAH!

Chapter 6: What do you mean?

Kagome felt safe, safe in a comforting embrace.

She fluttered her eyes open and blinked three times until her vision came clear

She looked up into his face… Prince Inuyasha.

He looked peaceful and content in his sleep. But awake he was a stubborn and rude pig. Then again how did she get here?

What would be the odds of her being a servant in his presents but having the luxury of living and eating here?

Weird ones she'd say.

She never knew why Inuyasha was always so upset. His eyes were always so full of hurt and hatred. She knew it had to do something about this Kikyo person but what could a person like her do to make the prince of Japan so unhappy?

She felt upset as an image of Hojo came to her mind.

Yes, she knew what a person could do to hurt. And words could always hurt more than physical pain.

She remembered how she fell asleep in Inuyasha's arms and felt safe. She felt safe… she hadn't felt safe in a long time.

Ever since the day she saw Hojo betray her she had nightmares of him. Last night was different. She didn't think or dream about him.

She felt at ease and warm…

Kagome sighed as she took notice that Inuyasha wasn't waking up anytime soon. She smiled a bit before kissing his cheek and trying to get out of bed. She gasped in surprise as Inuyasha's arms on her tightened and brought her closer.

"… Don't go…" he mumbled still asleep.

She blushed but tried to get out of bed again. This time she succeeded. She took one last look at him before rushing into the bathroom.

She took a quick bath and changed into some blue shorts and a white tank top that read " Don't hate, appreciate!"

She was about to start blow-drying her hair until she heard a loud scream coming from Inuyasha's room. She panicked and ran into his room.

She saw that he kicked the covers off the bed and was now twisting and turning as droplets of sweat dropped down his body.

Kagome came closer so that she could see his face and saw that he was crying… CRYING! Inuyasha was crying?

Kagome grew worried and curious as he screamed again.

"Don't go… Kikyo… why… but I… thought" he said between breaths.

Kagome climbed in next to him and hugged his waist trying to make him stop. He noticed her about 2 min. later and stopped as silent tears still slipped out.

She kept on saying… "It's okay it's okay" or "Inuyasha just wake up, just wake up…" and would hold his hand in hers.

He finally started to stir and opened his eyes so that he was face to face with a concern Kagome hugging him and his hand lying gently around her waist.

"You okay?" she asked him.

Inuyasha whipped his face to see that it was wet with salty tears. ' No, why did I have the dream again?' he asked himself.

"…Yeah" he said as he let go of her and sat on the bed as he held his head in his hands.

She sighed as she got up from the bed so she could blow-dry her hair.

"Where are you going?" he asked silently.

" Dry my hair, are you sure your okay?" she asked as she turned to look at him.

He looked like a kicked puppy; he had the look she had when he mentioned Hojo to her on the way to their lesson.

She smiled slightly and walked in front of him opening her arms to him. He sighed and tried to smile back at her but couldn't as he stood and appreciated her comforting hug.

"I'll be back… what's on the agenda for me today?" she asked as she still hugged him.

"… Mom said that Sango and you are suppose to fix up the garden." He said as he held her closer to him.

"Oh really! Okay that sounds like fun," she said.

He smirked "Okay, then we have to go watch another movie"

She laughed and let go "In your dreams" she said as she walked into the bathroom.

Inuyasha sat on his bed just thinking about what just happened.

' Why did I have to go and have that dream! Boy I'm such an idiot! Kagome must think I'm so stupid now' Inuyasha thought as he got up and changed into a pair of gray worn out jeans and a red baggy shirt.

He walked out of the room to see Miroku sitting in front of his door with his hands covering his eyes.

"What the hell are you doing Miro?" Inuyasha asked as he heard Miroku say something.

"Perverted monkey…."

"No" could be heard from the other side of the door.

"Funky Monkey…"

"… No"

" Angel monkey"

"…No"

"Groping MONKEY!"

"NOOOOOOO!"

" Sango I have a headache what's the damn password. I know it's something monkey!"

Inuyasha stared at Miroku and had to laugh when he noticed he was locked out.

"What did you do now?" he asked as Miroku uncovered his eyes and smirked at his friend.

"Sleep walk into bed with her." He said and smirked at the person behind him.

Inuyasha turned around to see Kagome with a white tank and short blue shorts. Her hair was in waves that flowed down her back. She wore a pale blue choker with a medal dog bone in the middle that sparkled. She had on light blue pumas with a solid white silver anklet around her left ankle.

"You wearing that to do garden work?" he asked as he admired her long smooth legs.

"Yeah it's hot outside and all we need to do is water the plants no major work"

Inuyasha sighed as he saw Sango open the door.

"MIROKU!"

"WHAT!" he said hiding behind Kagome.

"… You stopped guessing."

Kagome and Inuyasha started laughing as they saw Sango hit Miroku over the head.

"WHAT! Sango what's the password?" he asked as he pouted at her.

"… Sango's Monkey…" she said giggling.

"WHAT!"

"Yeah see my monkey!" she said as she directed to her white shirt with a picture of a monkey and pink and black graffiti under it that read "Sango's Monkey"

Everyone had to laugh at this one.

"WHAT?" she screamed.

"… Nothing, what started this?" asked Kagome giggling.

"That person over there… SLEEP WALKS!" she screamed.

"Oh yeah, that's right I remember Miroku slept over once and he started sleep walking to Sesshomaru's bed… poor guy. Miroku's the reason why Sessh locks his door now."

Everyone laughed.

"Oh god!" Sango said laughing.

"What can I say Miro likes to cuddle in his sleep?" said Inuyasha.

"Stop making fun of me it was one time it wasn't my fault!" Miroku pleaded.

"Alright well now you have someone to cuddle with!" said Kagome directing to Sango.

"WHAT!" she screamed, as she turned scarlet

"I'll get kicked out like last night!" Miroku said whining.

"Sango give the guy a break he likes to cuddle…" Inuyasha said.

"… Fine but no funny business." She said.

Miroku smirked at Inuyasha who just laughed.

"Sango… we got to water the garden today" Kagome said.

"Alright" she said as the two started to walk downstairs to the garden.

"You like her don't you?" Miroku asked Inuyasha as he saw his friends longing look of depression and need as he watched Kagome walk down stairs.

"I don't know I really don't know Miro…"

(With Sango and Kagome)

Sango and Kagome walked to the garden with some gloves and a water pourer.

When they came to the garden they looked at it in pure amazement.

There were flowers of all kinds. Lilies, daises, roses, tulips, anything you can imagine. They were all grouped and a huge white dazzling water fountain with a mother and two children stood proudly in the middle.

"Wow this is so beautiful…" said Kagome as she admired the way all the flowers and trees swayed in time with the wind and the smells of sakura blossoms and enchanted roses filled the air.

"Wow is right this place is soooo… wow!" Sango screamed as she walked over to a section and started to water them.

"We need to get started Kagome, cause after this we need to go take the boys to the fair…" Sango said as she hummed a sweet tune as she watered the plants with care.

"Oh boy you mean Inuyasha and Miroku or Shippo, Kohaku, and Souta?" Kagome asked as she too started to water the plants.

"All of them actually! It's part of the job"

"Oh boy baby sitting!" Kagome said as she rolled her eyes.

Sango giggled, "If you put it that way"

(With Inuyasha/mom)

Inuyasha stared at Kagome from a nearby window. Her hair flowed out behind her as a few sakura blossoms fell from the tree.

He sighed.

' Why can't I stop thinking about you Kagome' he thought as he saw her sit down under the tree and play with a flower in her hands.

"I feel comfort around you, your warm scent calms me when I'm around you. You seem and look so much like Kikyo… but you're not the same at all. Your so much different…'

Inuyasha was interrupted from his thoughts by a comforting hand on his shoulder…

"Inuyasha, sweetheart what's wrong?" asked his mother who followed his gaze and smiled.

"Kagome… mom… I don't know!" screamed Inuyasha as he leaned against the wall.

His mother looked at his face and smiled once again. "Inuyasha… when you think Kagome, what do you think?"

Inuyasha thought for a second and closed his eyes as a small smile appeared on his face.

"Beauty, comfort, smart, what's wrong with me mother? Before when I met Kagome I look at her and see Kikyo… I still do but not all the same…

Izayoi hugged her son lightly.

"Inuyasha go to the fair today with her and the others… have some fun."

Inuyasha shook his head.

"Mom what are you planning?" he asked as he recognized his mothers looks.

"I'm glad you're starting to like Kagome… because you'll be spending a lot of time with her" his mother said before walking off.

"WHAT! What the hell does that supposed to mean! MOM! MOM! Tell meeee!" Inuyasha screamed as his mom walked off.

"Inuyasha, we'll talk later. For now get to know the girl… you'll be… you'll see…" she said before walking fully away.

Inuyasha sighed as he turned his attention back to Kagome who was lying down on the grass with Sango as they pointed up to the sky.

' What do you mean mother?' Inuyasha asked himself as he smiled when Kagome started laughing. ' What do you mean…'
