Chapter 4:

It was an interesting trip, but not in the way I had hoped..let me broaden on that subject for a few moments...

The fourth hour of her trip...

Well the way it was beginning it didn't look like the trip kagome had though it would be. Miroku had slept most the morning away and Sango was engrossed in her book. 'Well this is exciting...I wish I could get one of my books.' though kagome, remembering that all her stuff was in on top the carriage she was now sitting in. So she just turned back to the window she had been looking out of the last four hours...turning back to look at sango she noticed that she was not reading at all but she was asleep! 'Well that's lovely everyone else can sleep but me' thought kagome sourly. All of a sudden kagome noticed a scratching sound on the outside of her door. 'What was that?' she wondered, but she pt it out of her head. Then I happened again, this time she couldn't ignore it. 'I think it is trying to get in! What do I do?' though kagome frantically. She decided to just take a quick peek outside the window. So kagome poked her head outside the carriage, to find...nothing. There wasn't anything out there aside from a few trees. 'Must have been a tree branch, or a rock for the road.' thought kagome as she removed herself from the window. But how wrong she was, because while she had been looking outside the window the thing had crawled into the carriage from the other side. So as kagome turned around she was hit by a small body. kagome started screaming, when she did miroku woke to see kagome on the floor with a small ball of fur on her stomach. "Kagome are you ok?" asked miroku after kagome was done screaming and had taken the time to realize it was just shipo. "Yes miroku im ok, I guess I kind of freaked myself out over nothing." said kagome, then she started laughing at herself for being so paranoid. "Kagome are you ok? You are acting kind of loony" said sango a worried look on her face 'maybe she got a fever' she thought to herself. "Im fine, I guess im getting my nerves out by laughing at myself. I mean in a few hours I am going to meet the man im to marry. What if I don't like him? And how will I know he will be a good husband? Miroku you never told me very much about him" said kagome and with the last part directing her words toward miroku. "Well he is a good person and a fair ruler, he has a tad bit of a temper but its not the dangerous kind. And I don't think he would ever hurt a women, especially his wife. He has a week spot for tears, so if you ever really want something cry. (Here miroku paused to laugh, the others didn't find that as amusing as he did so he soon stopped) And only you will know if you like him or no0t, but as you said it will be only a few short hours until you can decide for yourself." said miroku, trying to reassure kagome of her safety. "Yes I guess you are right, you have known him for a while, the king I mean." asked kagome looking at miroku thoughtfully. "Yes I have known him for many, many years." said miroku, rather uncomfortable under her gaze. Kagome was satisfied with the answer and picked up a book sango let her barrow.

After about an hour kagome looked up from her book at sango and said "Well I feel much better now, thank you! But im rather tired, we did get up early, so I think im going to take a quick nap. Sango would you wake me when we get within one hour of the castle?" while saying this sango noticed that kagome looked like she was about to fall asleep in her seat. "Sure! You just rest up, you will need it later." said sango looking at her friend who was already snoring, slumped against the seat. "She is an interesting girl, I think the king will be pleased with my choice," said miroku looking smug. Sango looked over at him in disbelief "you mean the king didn't pick her!" Miroku realized he had let too much slip, "but there is no turning back now, better tell her the truth.' "Well no he didn't, I did. The kings mother asked me to find him a wonderful girl and kagome seems perfect for the king." said miroku thanking the gods that kagome was asleep. "You mean to tell me my friend could be hurt by your king because when she gets there he will not even know her name! Im going to kill you!" said sango her eyes blazing (being the over-protective friend she is) "no sango don't hurt me! I did it for their own good, I swear!" cried miroku shielding his head. "Give me one way you think you did that?" said sango, ready to slap him if the answer didn't suit her. "Well the king needs someone to produce his heirs, and your friend needs someone who will let her have her independence, and let me tell you there are not many guys like that now-a-days." said miroku thinking fast. "Fine but if this hurts her you are dead." said sango. "Ok I fully understand" said miroku, rather afraid.

They all sat in silence for the remainder of the trip, sango had taken up her book from where she had left off. And miroku was staring out the window doing or thinking who knows (or would want to) what. And of course kagome was still asleep, with shipo in her arms. It continued like this until they arrived on the outskirts of the kingdom, Kagome's new home. Night had set and the travelers were going to stay in a inn. Sango shook kagome awake, when she finally opened her eyes sango said "come on! I want some dinner, and its getting cold out here." so kagome dragged herself out of the carriage (she was still half asleep) and into the inn. Now it was a very nice inn, clean, warm, and it had a wonderful atmosphere. But to kagome it all looked foreign and strange. The chairs had a different style then kagome was accustom to and the rugs were made out of a new material that she had never seen. She looked over at sango to see if she noticed but she was talking to miroku and ordering from a waitress so she looked content. Just the sango looked up and caught kagomes eye, when she noticed the look in them she stood up and walked over. "Kagome are you ok?" she asked when she reached her friend. "Yes I guess, but everything is so different. I guess im just a little homesick". That's when sango decided her friend needed some cheering up, "come with me" she said. So sango went to get miroku who she whispered to for a moment. The miroku led kagome and sango out to the street and down the lane to a camp site. It turned out to be a gypsy camp ground. They watched a few shows with fire breathing men and dancing women (here kagome and sango had to hold back miroku) then went back to the inn. "Thank you sango that was a lot of fun, and thank you too miroku." said kagome. "It was no biggie I would have taken you alone but I didn't know where it was so the pervert had to come." said sango emphasizing pervert. "Now I resent that" said miroku with a smile. When they got back to the inn they all went to their respective rooms and fell into a peaceful sleep. While it lasted...
