The gigantic door burst open and a servant burst in. "THE PRINCESS IS GONE! THE PRINCESS IS GONE!" He said before he fell on the floor in exhaustion, into his bowing pose. Susanano-o's eyes rose from his rice bowl to gaze upoun the servant.

"Gone you say."
"Yes, Master Susanano-o. Someone must have taken her from her room. The door to the garden was taken fully off almost as if by wind." Eleven of the twelve men of the council were in a uproar the lord Susanano-o merely grunted.
"Where exactly were her guards?"
"At their posts of course my lord." The servant turned pale,"Some of her attendants said that they heard some music coming from her quarters."
"MUSIC!" Piped a council member,"It must be the forest god! He must have summoned her to him."
"No one deemed it important to see to the princess?" Boasted another.
"Aye, we thought at first it was just song...until," He paused,"Until we saw that light."
"And then what happend to the princess."
"It only lasted less than a minute, we at first were worried that the light was another attempt at the princess to start a fire but this light was purple. Same as the clouds above at dusk. I assumed it was just a storm. So only until the light was gone did we check on the princess."
"I notion for you assumption, you shall be hung." The notion was seconded and before the servant knew it, all eleven had agreed they made plans to hang him in the morning. Two guards drug the raving servant to the dungeon. "As for the princess...I'm afraid she is taken by the forest god. Tell her suitors tomorrow. We will tell the young lord of this disstressing matter when he awakes. For now we must eat and finish our dinner so we have energy for tomorrow..."

Dawn approached the sleeping princess...

The sun awoke her, she was dressed and dry. A red kimono top was covering her white yukata, as she lay sprung out upoun the grass it covered her small body like a dress. Little birds chirped and landed on some tall grass nearby, as it swayed in the breeze. She examined the kimono further it was a fabric she had never seen before. The last thing she could remember was a pair of eyes, and that light that purple light that danced within the figures eyes. 'Whoever brought me here I wonder?' Kagome sat up and stretched her arm knocked into something soft. She turned her eyes to see the very pair of eyes she had seen last night. The violet eyes stared at her with wonder, not gazing her in as if his eyes could taste her like her suitors had done. But a genuine stare as if looking into her soul. His chest was bare, but he had on his briches some red hamaka pants.

"Who are you? Did you give me this?" She tugged on the cuff of the red kimono. He nodded."You were the one who me took from my kingdom weren't you. For that I am eternally grateful." Kagome surveyed around her. "Which forest is this.."
"Mine." His voice was a seductive purr.
"You...spoke." He smiled almost sadistically."Why did you bring me here." The man chuckled as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in his entire life. "Who are you!" Kagome scooted back nervously.
"I am lord of all that I survey, I am watcher of the forest. I am Inuyasha." Her eyes went wide.
"Are...are you," She sputtered,"The forest god?"

"In a way I suppose."
"You either are or your not." Kagome laughed at her missed notion."Your not the forest god. He is said to be demon."
"I am a powerful demon!" Inuyasha yelled angrily.
"You don't look like any demon I've ever seen."
"Wench, just how many have you seen"
"I...uh." Inuyasha smirked triumpantly."I have heard of some..."
"Seeing is different!" Kagome then looked deeper into his eyes no one she had ever seen had eyes as velvety purple as he.
"Suppose I believe you, just why did you take me."
"In good time." The princess became furious.
"No! Tell me now."
"Alright, follow me." He motioned her into a area of dark forest, Kagome felt uneasy and wanted to stay in the area of clearing by a well she saw. "Do you want to know?" She nodded, his smooth hand raised her up as he guided her through the dense wood.

Somewhere near Kagome's village...

"Lord Souta had been informed of his sister's disappearance." A crooked old man said to one man in the village. "I heard he took it upoun himself to lead the search party. Into the forest."
"Our young lord is very brave indeed." Answered another.

Inside Lord Souta's bedchambers...

"INTO THE FOREST!" He wailed,"HOW CAN I LEAD ANYONE INTO THE FOREST!" Souta curled up into his knees and started to ball.
"My lord no one expects you too lead. It just would make the village feel proud to have a leader that takes charge." The lord's crying did not let up however."Do not cry! We have dispatched many allies from neighboring lands to help find her! You do not have to go to the forest we just want everyone else to think so." The lord stopped crying and gazed curiously at his attendant.
"How will I be able to fool everyone to think that I went into the forest?"
"Leave that to me." Susanano-o slid through the sliding door like a snake."Until then stay in your quarters where it's safe."

Kagome inside the forest god's forest...

It was not long until Inuyasha stopped in front of a great and mighty tree. Pinned to it was a boy attached by a arrow. He didn't move. His hair was silver, and his kimono was the same as Inuyasha's but the boy pinned to the tree had dog ears perked up on his head. "Is he your broth..."

"I have a favor to ask of you," He stared into her soul again."At nightfall I want you to pull that arrow out."
"Shurly you can do it yourself can you not."
"Will you do it?" He pulled her close to his face by her shoulder. Her heart almost skipped a beat.
And in a tranced voice she answered,"Yes, I will pull the arrow out"
"Good." He smiled much softer than before he backed up away from her. She could almost was unable to support her own weight without him. "For when you do I will show you something grand"
"But what if I can't."
"You do not have to see anything you don't wish to see if you are too much a coward to even attempt."
"When I pull out that arrow I would like to see this grand thing."
"And so you shall." Kagome wondered if Inuyasha was who he claimed to be just what wonderful grand thing would she see?
