To Love Another Prince

Chapter 2

New Prince

The morning light arose from the woods, expressing the new day that was ahead. The brother of the two, Prince Inuyasha, had walked into the breakfast hall and found his brother sitting down, hands crossed, and glaring. "What did you do to her?"

Inuyasha was confused at first. He then remembered the girl he brought back a few hours ago. She had fallen asleep on his back on the way, and he had returned her to her new bedroom. "Nothing, I just took her back to her room." Inuyasha said after a few minutes.

"Good, but you reek like her though, so I assumed you had taken advantage of that pure innocent girl." Sesshoumaru glared again.

"Feh." Was the younger brother's reply. "I saved her sorry ass. She could have died with all the demons that live out there."

"Temper brother. I highly respect you for that." He patted his brother's shoulder then gripped it with his claws. "Just stay away from her. She resembles your ex-wife way too much."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "She wasn't my wife, and our father forced us to marry when we were what, 12?"

"Ah yes, too bad those two girls died mysteriously." Sesshoumaru chuckled.

"It was you, not me. I had no pleasure in the girl. We didn't even make love, heck we were too young to know what that was!"

Sesshoumaru got up and stretched, "Well, that was in the past. Let's start over. We had no wives."

Inuyasha nodded, "Sounds reasonable."

"Plus I need a wife so I can be named king. I hate the title that I have now."

Kagome at that time walked into the room and saw Sesshoumaru and an unknown guy. The guy resembled Sesshoumaru in a way, both long silver hair, golden eyes, built. Though, the younger one looked more lively then his brother. Plus, he was shorter than his older brother.

"Good morning." Kagome interrupted them.

Sesshoumaru walked up to her and placed a single kiss on her hand. "Good morning to you to."

Kagome walked past Sesshoumaru afterwards and placed her hand out to greet the younger brother. "Hi, I'm Higurashi Kagome."

He grabbed her small hand and shook it as well. "Inuyasha."

She smiled and looked up upon his head. "Oh! Is that dog ears?"

Without asking permission, she tiptoed and grabbed onto his ears and started rubbing them. He was in total shock, because for one a girl was rubbing his ears and not screaming, and two she could actually see them.

Sesshoumaru walked up to her and pulled her lightly away from his brother. "I knew your powers could see through our spell."

Inuyasha and Kagome both were confused, "Powers?"

Sesshoumaru nodded, "You have the power of a miko, do you not?"

Kagome blinked and looked over to Inuyasha. Inuyasha made no response because he was confused as well.

"Most mikos do not know of their existence powers. I can feel them because I am full demon and Inuyasha is a mere half demon."

That explained the half moon on his head and the marks on Prince Sesshoumaru's face. Kagome didn't think too much of Sesshoumaru's appearance, but Inuyasha's was remarkable. Something about those ears she loved the most…

After that first day of being at the castle, Kagome had made a new friend. When Kagome met the Prince Inuyasha, he had decided to take her around the castle.

"Pretty boring." Kagome faked a yawn as Inuyasha showed her one of the many dining halls they had.

"I agree. I still don't know why we have 20 extra rooms and nobody uses them. Really doesn't make a difference, I'm not interested in being indoors."

It was true. Being a half demon left him outdoors most of the time. Also, when their father died, Sesshoumaru had taken the job of king, but not officially due to his single-hearted life that he had chosen to take. Sesshoumaru had thrown Inuyasha out of the castle for four months after his father's death. No one knew the real reason why, but Inuyasha was glad for it because he became strong and independent.

Once they had got to the library, Kagome jumped up happily and turned to Inuyasha. "You guys have a library?"

Inuyasha nodded at her questionably. "Yes we do. Why does it interest you?"

Kagome pulled Inuyasha into the room and pulled out a book, "Don't you know how to read?"

Inuyasha's ears dropped and looked away, "Why would it concern you?"

Kagome understood and sat on the floor. "Join me Inuyasha."

Inuyasha sat down next to his brother's fiancée and watched as she flipped through a few pages. "Can I read to you?"

Before Inuyasha could respond, Kagome started reading. He listened to her soft voice as it echoed through the room. Her voice reminded him of an angel singing and he lay down and heard the story.

Once she was done, she noticed Inuyasha had fallen asleep. She giggled and quietly got up. She shook Inuyasha lightly, till his eyes snapped open.

"Good morning sunshine." Kagome played as Inuyasha registered where he was.

At that time, Miroku and Sango came into the room, yelling at each other.

"I don't care Miroku! I am pregnant and it's all your fault!" Sango said slapping Miroku numerous of times.

"It's not my fault! You had part of this to, and…" Sango hit him again. "Okay! It was my fault!"

Kagome cleared her throat and caught the attention of the two. Sango and Miroku blushed and looked away from them. Kagome walked towards Sango and hugged her. "Congratulations Sango!"

Sango was confused at first then her eyes started to water. "Oh, Kagome! Sesshoumaru will disown me! I'll have to live in the streets! And—"

"Sango, you do know I'm here for you?" Miroku asked in the background.

"I don't care! I'll loose my job! How can I be a servant when I'm fat?" Sango yelled.

Inuyasha then got up from his place and placed a hand on his friend's mate. "Don't worry about Sesshoumaru, I'll talk to him. What's the worse he can do?"

Both Sango and Miroku looked at each other worryingly.

"Tell him in a month." Sango finally decided. "I'm sorry for yelling at you Miroku!"

Sango had thrown herself on her love, and Miroku hugged back. They shared a few kisses and walked out of the room, leaving Inuyasha and Kagome laughing.

Two weeks later, as Kagome was walking down for dinner, she saw people running around, panicking. Before she could ask someone what the commotion was, she spotted Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru talking.

"The eastern lands can't think about attacking these lands! Those damn wolves are crazy to take on us. You know the law Inuyasha!"

Inuyasha nodded and watched Kagome walk up to them, "law?"

Sesshoumaru placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder and looked like he was going to say something that would break her heart. "A war is starting Kagome. Since I'm not officially king, the law is that the older brother must fight."

Kagome sighed in relief. She thought it was going to be much worse. After hearing that, Kagome had a calm look on her face, but she knew she should change her expression. She changed it to a worried face and then she asked Sesshoumaru, "Are you going to be alright?"

Sesshoumaru grabbed her hands; "I would marry you now Kagome so I wouldn't have to go, but that would be for weak demons. You do know you'll have to wait, right?"

Kagome nodded. Didn't make much difference to her, she was actually rather glad of his departure.

Sesshoumaru bent down and kissed her neck softly. After she shuddered he moved his mouth next to her ear and whispered, "Don't fall for anyone while I'm gone."

Sango and Miroku then entered the area where they found Sesshoumaru doing something weird to Kagome and Inuyasha, he was growling.

Sesshoumaru then parted from his fiancée and brother, and headed towards Sango. He stopped a few feet away from Sango and started to sniff around. Once his eyes hit Sango's, his eyes grew in fury and punched Miroku.

"Miroku!" Sango caught her lover before he fell to the ground. "Why did you do that?"

"Get away from him Sango!" Sesshoumau screamed. "You know you're like my adoptive sister, and how DARE he make you pregnant!"

Everyone's jaw dropped and stared at Sango. Sango's eyes started to water and looked at Inuyasha. Inuyasha lifted his shoulders as he silently said he had no idea how he found out.

"You know I am a full demon, Sango. Inuyasha doesn't have the scent, but I can smell when a lady is pregnant."

Sango started to cry and bowed next to him, "I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I—"

Sesshoumaru picked up the crying girl till she stood straight up. "I'm not going to punish you. You will remain here at the palace, and I shall get you another maid to help out Miss Kagome."

Sango blinked a few times. That was it? Wasn't he going to yell at her more and disown her?

"But…I am going to have a punishment for another." Sesshoumaru then turned to Miroku, "You are to leave the palace. Never return and never speak to Sango again."

Sango and Miroku ran up to each other and grabbed each others hands. "That's not far! If he goes, I'm going to!" Sango threatened.

Sesshoumaru rubbed his temples; "I'll see that you have your baby in this castle. You and your brother shall not leave, I'll make sure of that. On top of it, no one is allowed to leave this property!"

"Brother! You can not do this, you—" Inuyasha tried to stop him but he had already called the guards to remove Miroku from the castle.

Sango had collapsed and Kagome was by her side in an instant. Kagome had seen a new side of her future husband, and so far she hated him.
