Kagome sighed, looking out the window. Watching the trees as they passed and little creatures of the day. She's bored and they would be arriving the Kingdom in several hours. She turned to look at Inuyasha who had his arms crossed and eyes close. He was sleeping.

Lucky bastard, he could sleep in that position. I couldn't….my back would kill me!

She looked up to Inuyasha's ears, with a curious look on her eyes she moved slowly towards him. Trying to feel his ears and when she was about to touch it her wrists were caught by a strong grip. She looked down and saw an angry look on Inuyasha's face. She had a sheepish smile on her face.

"Eerr…I see that you're awake now….", she muttered

Inuyasha growled pushing her towards her seat then launching at her, his arms beside her head. Kagome slumped on her seat as Inuyasha continued growling at her.

"Just what the hell did you think you were doing!", he exclaimed as he glowered on her. Her heart skipped a beat. She let out a breath that she didn't knew she was holding in.

"Uhh….I was just bored… and -"

"And you decided that you could just touch my ears while I'm asleep!", she cringed

"I couldn't help myself! Plus it's just touching your ears anyway, it wouldn't hurt!"

Inuyasha pulled her ears

"Ow! Watcha do that for!"

"I thought touching ears wouldn't hurt", he mimicked her voice, mocking her. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"I wouldn't pull your ears you moron! I just wanna feel it!", she exclaimed

"Well I don't want anyone touching my ears and the same goes for you, got it!"

"FINE! It doesn't matter anyway! It's just your stupid ears! Hmph!", she pushed him off then straightened up and crossed her arms. A stern look on her face as she looked out the window again.

Inuyasha growled then sat down properly, looking at the other window.

Keh! Crazy woman! Wanting to touch my ears, what was she thinking! And to think I'm engaged with this wench!

Inuyasha muttered something but Kagome just ignored him not caring what he's saying, it's not like she actually heard what he was saying anyway.

Come to think of it, no one ever wanted to touch my ears before not even my parents…I wonder why they didn't though….gah! Anyway….I wonder why SHE wants to touch my ears….it's nothing interesting anyway….I mean I know it's only me and Sesshomaru who have these ears and most people fear of touching it….thinking it's a curse or something…keh! Idiots!

Inuyasha took a glance on Kagome who was still looking out the window

Yet SHE wants to touch it…..

He looked at her again, noticing her crossed legs. She was wearing a blue light and sleeveless dress that went down on her knees, a V neckline that you could see the top of her mounds and a gold chain on her waist, the same chain that she wore on the ball.

She must have liked chains. What really got his attention was that she has a tattoo under her right wrist. He couldn't really see what the tattoo looked like though.

Kagome caught him staring at her and she turned to look at him, raising a brow on her face. He didn't notice that she was looking at him, he was looking somewhere else. He followed his gaze that seem to look at her right wrist. She turned her wrist around, looking at her tattoo. She smiled. The tattoo was an arrow with the name 'Kagome' on the stick.

"You know I got this when I was 15….", she said, still looking at the tattoo. Inuyasha just stayed silent, now looking at her.

"When my mom saw this, thanks to Souta, she was furious that I was grounded for 2 weeks, she would only let me study and eat.", she gave a sheepish grin. He smirked.

"But what hurts me the most was that I ain't allowed to do archery for a month!", Inuyasha had an amuse look on his face.

"You do archery?", not believing what she said

"Of course I do! Anyway, I was so sad that time because I missed the archery contest, I could have won!", Inuyasha laughed at her which made her tick.

"What! It's true! I bet I'm better than you!", She grinned with confidence, he just had an amuse look on his face.

"I'm better than you and in some other things aswell…..", he said in a husky voice that he didn't mean to do. Kagome looked at him strangely.

Oh shit! , he exclaimed in his mind

"And what does that supposed to mean, eh?", she asked with curiousity in her eyes. He shook his head

"Nothing…..forget about it", Kagome just shrugged and look outside the window

"I'm still better than you in archery", she said with a smile on her face while still looking out the window. He just smirked.

"Keh!"

They finally arrived in the kingdom. Kagome looked out the window in awe. The castle looked grand. The village houses looked adorable. The flowers bloomed with beautiful colors. The gates were guarded by soldiers with 2 dragons, one blue and yellow intertwining on their shields.

Must be the Kingdom's symbolism…., she thought as she continued looking at the Kingdom

Inuyasha smirked on the surprise look on her face.

Welcome to my Kingdom Kagome…….

Once they arrived in the castle, they got out of the carriage. Kagome and Inuyasha were stretching their legs while Izayoi and Sesshomaru already went in. Izayoi told the servants to get their bags and told a maid to show Kagome her room.

"Please follow me your highness", said the maid, Kagome nodded and followed the maid who was leading her to her new room. While walking to her room she looked at the different portraits and ancient sculptures around the house. Once the maid unlocked her room and opened the door she stopped at the door in awe as she looked on her ENOURMOUS room. On her right was her big bed and there were night tables beside it. At the far end on the right side of the bed was her walk in closet with clothes and shoes already inside. At the left end was her dresser, with varieties of make up. In the center of the room was a small living room with sofas, a love seat and a huge red carpet on the floor. Across it was a big bathroom, where there was a shower and a bath tub. Outside the bathroom was a study desk and a book shelf with tons of books of history, art, politics, economy and literature.

She was also had a large window that she could walk outside towards the balcony, a wonderful view of the Kingdom's gardens.

Oh my! This room is wonderful! I hate to admit it but it's way better than mine! I just LOVE IT! , she yelled on her head as she explored around her room. After the maid arranged her clothes in the closet she left the room quietly leaving the princess with her thoughts as she looked around. She looked on her dresser and noticed a small velvet box. She opened the box and gasped on what she saw. It's a silver-gold bracelet with her name it. There's a card attached to it, it said:

Dear Princess Kagome,

Welcome to our Kingdom! I hope you will enjoy your stay here and have a happy engagement!

Izayoi

So they planned this all along…..heh!, she smirked then walked towards the balcony, admiring the view. She felt like exploring around the castle so she went in her closet putting on new clothes. She wore black leather pants, a white tunic that fits her slim waist and black moccasins that fitted perfectly on her small feet. She also put on the bracelet that Izayoi gave her. Then left the room to explore.

She decided to go the gardens cause she admired the view that she saw from her balcony.

The garden was HUGE! There was also a maze but she decided not to go there yet, she might get lost. She saw a lot of fountains with different designs. She also saw beautiful variations of flowers: Tulips, red, white and yellow roses, Lilies, Gumamelas, Sunflowers and Daisies but what she loved the most were the Cherry Blossoms which reminded her of home where she used to plant a lot of Cherry Blossoms.

She heard faint noises at the far end of the garden. She followed the source of the sound, pushing past bushes and tree branches until she come across a field and there she a saw a man or more like somewhat a dog or was that a wolf……doing martial arts. He had long black hair which was tied up in a high pony tail and a brown band around his head. What bothered her was that he's wearing a toga.

I'd rather wear pants when I do martial arts, she said mentally as she watched behind the bushes.

She noticed that he stopped practicing and was just standing there. She felt nervous and decided to back up a little but then hit on a stone behind her and fell on her bum

"Oof!", she muttered, rubbing her bum then she noticed a hand in front of her.

She looked up to see that it's the man she was watching awhile ago. She took his hand then lifted her up. She dusted off the dirt from her clothes then looked up to the guy in front of her.

"You've been spying on me", he said with a deep rich tone of his voice

"Uuhh….well…..I guess you could say that….", she said nervously, biting her lower lip

"And you are?", he inquired looking at her with a curious look on his face, she noticed that he had blue eyes

"Oh! I'm Kagome, I'm a guest here in the castle…", she said. That's half true anyway

"A guest? Ah…..you must be Inuyasha's fiancée", he circled around her which she didn't like that at all

"Lucky bastard…", he mumbled lowly

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing….so what brings you here around this part of the palace?"

"Oh I was just wondering around, I love to explore around the castle"

"Oh so you like to explore,eh?", she nodded

"Then follow me", then he walked away. Kagome chased after him until she was beside him.

"I didn't catch your name-"

"Kouga………Takahashi, Kouga……..just call me Kouga", she smiled

"Nice to meet you Kouga", he blushed a bit, she giggled

"Can I ask you a question, Koga?"

"Shoot"

"Why are you wearing a Toga?", he looked at her with shock in his eyes, she just laughed.
