Chapter 3

(I don't own inuyasha.)

"Daughter!" kagome backed up.

"No no no no no….i am not your daughter…I'm just kagome." tiffany gave her a motherly look.

"But you are…you're the little girl I use to rock to sleep at night." Kagome couldn't believe it. Why did they pick her out of all the girls in town? Why her?

"You even said that you were found next to a river correct?" kagome nodded.

"But what does that have to do with anything?" Mitch smiled.

"Because our daughter was thrown over a bridge by an evil man that was hoping to get ride of the line of royals." Kagome shook her head.

"I'm not her. You may think I am but I'm not!" kagome yelled running to her room.

"Kagome wait!" tiffany started to go after her but was stopped.

"Queen Tiffany, let me talk to her. You just sit and wait." Sango said walking to the room her and kagome shared together.

When sango got to the door it was locked. Sango knocked no answer.

"Kagome? Its sango, can I come in?" still no answer. Sango sighed. She put her hand on the top of the door frame and felt around until she found a small key. She pulled it down and unlocked the door.

"Kagome I'm coming in." she opened the door and looked around. Kagome wasn't there. So she went to the bathroom, still no kagome.

'Great she ran away again.' Sango thought walking back to the others.

When she entered the room the queen sat up.

"Is she alright?" she asked a little worried.

"I couldn't tell you. She ran off again." Tiffany really started to worry. The others were like. 'she is starting this old thing again.'

"Where did she go? Did someone kidnap her? What if she is hurt?..." the queen just kept rambling on and on about how this was her fault and stuff.

Inuyasha leaned over and whispered in miroku's ear.

"Try to calm her down, I'll go get kagome." miroku nodded and inuyasha walked to the door.

When inuyasha got outside he knew exactly where kagome went. It was the same place she always goes when she is mad or upset. He started to walk towards the woods. He just walked strait until he found a path. Then he fallowed it till he came to a small river. Sitting next to the river was kagome curled up.

This place was a secret that only inuyasha and kagome knew about. It was where inuyasha taught kagome to swim. Inuyasha smiled at the thought.

flashback

"Inuyasha are you sure you're not going to let me drown?" a 12 year old kagome said while holding onto a 13 year old inuyasha.

"Kagome I promise now just let go of my neck and grab my hands. Then start kicking your feet." Kagome slowly let go of his neck and grabbed his hands. When she was pretty much in the water she started to kick her feet and surprisingly to her she was doing really good. Then inuyasha let go of her and she started to panic.

"Just swim towards me. Like last time." He said and held out his hands. Kagome started to swim towards him but it just seemed like she was never going to get there and she was losing air fast. Finally she stopped and started to sink. Inuyasha thought she was joking around and just waited. But then he realized she wasn't coming back up.

"Kagome, come on that's not funny?" he was starting to panic so he dove under seeing kagome on the floor of the river. He quickly grabbed her and pulled her to the surface. He quickly picked her up and carried her out of the water. He gave her CPR, and about after the 3rd time she came back and was spitting up water. She rolled over and threw it all up.

end of flashback

After that day she wouldn't talk to him for about a week. Until it was her birthday and he gave her this lovely outfit and she forgave him.

Inuyasha quietly walked towards her. When she heard someone sit next to her she looked over with tears in her eyes. She noticed it was inuyasha and whipped her tears away. She knew how he hated to see her cry.

"hey." He said.

"Hey. Did sango send you after me again?" he smirked.

"No I came after you this time. What wrong?" she sighed and held her knees closer to her.

"I don't know, it's just all happening so fast. I don't want to be a princess. I just want to be back at home with you guys eating grilled cheese on the couch while watching cartoons."

"Yea well if you really are the princess then think about how your parents felt losing you." She thought about it. Not really a happy picture in her head though.

"I know." She said leaning her head on his shoulder. He just put an arm around her shoulder.

"Come on kid, if we ask that you leave tomorrow we'll all go out and party tonight." she smiled.

"ok." He helped her up. When he did she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Thanks for everything." He hugged her back.

"You know anytime you need to get away, we always have a place for you." She kinda pulled back a little and kissed him on the cheek.

"I know." She let go and started to walk back. Inuyasha was just standing there speechless, and blushing. He moved his hand to his cheek, and smiled. He then fallowed kagome back to the house.
