Ch.4: To tell the truth to the man she loves
Kagome's house night of the ball---------------------------------------------------------
Naraku and Kikyou were furious, how Kagome, that worthless servant, could make the prince fall head over heels in love with her. Naraku summoned Kagome, Naraku had a plan to get the Prince back to Kikyou. They had already put their awful plan in to action, the first part was already done when they had heard about Kagome and the prince during their meeting. Kikyou was so furious that she had to remove her self form the table to scream and thrash around and when the Queen asked her what the matter was, she lied and said I was a bee. The first part of the plan was lying to the Queen about Kagome being engaged to another man, knowing that the Queen would tell her son and he would be heart broken. The next part was to stop Kagome form going to the ball, I mean if she happened to show up how bad would they look and how much trouble they would be in, lying to the royal family is punishable by law.
As Kagome entered Kikyou's room she saw Kikyou with her dress, again. "What do you think, am I gorgeous or what" asked Kikyou. Before Kagome could recover form the shock and respond, Naraku can in the room. "It is disgusting, the Prince and a commoner no less a servant" he practically spat the last words out like they were swear words. "Oh, no how in the hell did they found out" thought Kagome. Looking at Kagome's stunned face, Naraku inwardly smirked then continued, behind him Kikyou smiled waiting for her favorite part to come. "I forbid you to go to the ball" said Naraku now barely containing a smile. "You can't do that" said Kagome horrified, "Yes, I can, watch me" and with that Naraku and Kikyou grabbed Kagome and dragged her into the cellar and locked the door being followed by Sango, and Rin trying to stop him. "If any of you even think about opening this door, you will pay dearly" said Naraku in a deadly serious voice that scared them. Then Kikyou followed her father upstairs to get ready for that ball as she was coming down she passed Keade in the hall, it was time for then next part of their plan, woo the prince. As soon as Kikyou got into her room she let out a blood curdling scream.
Naraku and everyone turned and were about to run to her room when she came downstairs yelling something. "The dress is gone, it's gone" then she turned to Kagome "I know you hid it where is it"? "How could Kagome have taken the dress, she was too bust being locked up by Naraku" said Rin with a defiant voice and cold stare to Naraku. "I'm sorry Kikyou but they are right, no go get ready in the back-up dress I bought you and lets go, come on Keade you too", "I'll be there in a minute father" she turned to Sango and Rin and whispered something and then mouthed to Kagome "good luck". Kagome did not understand at first, then after 20 minutes of much yelling and cursing, Naraku, Kikyou, and Keade left for the ball. Kikyou was a peacock, Keade was a horse, and of course Naraku went as himself. A minute after they left, Shippo came in with a stranger in tow, Kagome recognized him as Miroku, the monk who was Inuyasha's best friend. Inuyasha loved to tell Kagome storied about him and Mirkou, she reflected on that memory.
"Shippo why are you here" asked Kagome. Mirkou quickly assessed the situation and using what brain he had removed the door hinges, thus freeing Kagome. "If you will my lady, I can explain that", said Mirkou with a bow and a kiss of a Sango's hand. "Wow, this girl is sure a beauty, I wonder…", then a yelled sounded from Sango and a red hand print was clearly seen on Miroku's face. Mirkou turning to Kagome now started to explain "My lady I can to see if you really were engaged, for the sake of my broken hearted friend Inuyasha, when I meet Shippo here and when I asked for directions he said he was your friend" Miroku glanced at Sango who blushed furiously, but smiled, they were coming to like each other. "Ahem..anyway when I told Shippo why I needed to see you her said he could not believe it and agreed to take me here to see you and find out the truth". When he had finished Shippo continued "when we got here we heard the noise of screaming and decided to wait outside then we saw the Step's leave and came in" he finished. Kagome took all this in and turned to Miroku with tears in her eyes, "Sir, I am nothing but a mere servant girl named Kagome" cried Kagome, "Sui or Kagome, Inuyasha loves you enough to not care her just wants you" said Miroku "I hope I am right" he thought to himself.
"He deserves to hear the truth from the one he loves" said Miroku, Kagome knew he was right "but you heard them my dress went missing" said Kagome. Then Sango and Rin came in with the dress and stuff to make her look like and angel, that's when Kagome understood what Keade had said to Sango. Kagome smiled "Thank you Keade, I owe you one" she said silently. "Well what are you waiting for let's get you ready" said Shippo and they all helped Kagome get ready, and in 10 minutes she was on her way to see her beloved Inuyasha. A/N if any of you are confused Keade stole the dress, and Mirkou and Sango met at the market, but never talked till now.
The Ball
It was the just moments away from the announcement of Inuyasha's Bride-to-be. Inuyasha had decided to go with Kikyou since the one he wanted he could no longer have. "Sui", he thought, Inuyasha just wanted to run away, find out where she was, kidnap her and just be with her, somewhere no one could bug them. (with Kagome) Kagome was terrified of what she was about to do. As she walked down the steps to the court yard, she couldn't help but think "Would he want her anymore, would her reject her", slowly she made her way toward the stage where Inuyasha, his father King Sesshomaru and his mother Queen Kaugra were standing.
Right as Sesshomaru was about to draw breath for the first syllable of Kikyou's name, Inuyasha saw her in the crowd, but that was impossible because she was supposed to be in Belgium by now. Inuyasha stopped Sesshomaru and jumped off the stage and ran to where she was. When he got to her she was smiling, "Inuyasha we need to talk, I have something to tell you", "so you're not engaged" he asked, she shook her head. Inuyasha was so happy he didn't care to hear what she was trying to tell her, "Whatever it is my answer it yes" he said as he drug her up to the stage. "No, wait please" Kagome begged. All of a sudden a hard pull yanked her back, it was Naraku. "What is the meaning of this Sir" asked a very upset Inuyasha, "Your Excellency, with all do respect I have come to expose a liar and a cheat" said Naraku pointing at Kagome. Everyone gasped and started whispering, Kagome was now sobbing.
Naraku continued "Her name is Kagome Higurashi and she is a servant in my household" "No" cried Kagome tears running down her face in a steady stream. Inuyasha was stunned, now he recognized her "the apples and the horse that was you" he asked in disbelief, Kagome could only nod. "A servant Inuyasha explain" said an angry Sesshomaru. "Inuyasha please believe me, I never meant to hurt you" said Kagome, while everyone around her flinched at the non-formal name. All Inuyasha could say was "My NAME is Prince Inuyasha of France, do not refer to me so informal" Kagome got off the ground and ran as fast as she could, all she wanted was to get away from there, as far away as possible. Later on, Miroku found Inuyasha sitting on a bench looking at his feet, visibly upset. "What did you do" asked Miroku, "I am of Royal blood and with that comes certain obligations and rules" he replied with no passion in his words. "Bullshit, since when did you care for the rules", but Inuyasha did not respond but he continued to look down. Miroku sighed, put the shoe down beside Inuyasha, "then you don't deserve her". Inuyasha looked down at the shoe as it started to rain and felt like hell. How could he treat the woman who he loved and dreamed about running away with so badly? "I love her, I love Sui…I mean Kagome, Kagome, Kagome" he kept saying her name in his head until he was sure he would not forget it and say the wrong name. "I don't give a damn, what she is I love her and that is all that matters" and with that he grabbed the shoe and went to find his one, true, love.
