Wow I got so many reviews! Thank you sooo much it means so much to me...well yesterday (March 30, 2005) was my bday! Yay! Lol...well I decided to write another chapter of my story…

I was thinking…you know what song reminds me of Inuyasha and Kagome? Well I think that "Nivea- Don't Mess with my Man"…like when Inuyasha gets jealous when Kagome is with Kouga and Inuyasha is with Kikyo! I swear it really reminds me them! You should listen to it and tell me if you agree or if I'm just crazy…lol

Well enough of my babbling…ill try 2 make this chapter longer than all the others but I make no guarantees…ill TRY THO! Lol well on with the chapter…


Last Chapter: 'Inconsiderate wench. Who does she think she is, flirting with another man while she is engaged to me! Whatever its not like I'm jealous.'

'Sure your not…'

'Ha what do you know!'

'Plenty…'

'Just go away!'

'Whatever…you can't deny your feelings forever…'

"Ha now look at me…I'm talking to myself," He thought with a scornful look on his face. 'I guess I'm going to take a wa—" his sentence was caught short by the sound of Kagome's scream, "INUYASHA!"


Chapter 4: Enter Rin!

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha replied with his own shout concerned for Kagome.

'Damn it what could be wrong?' He thought while running toward the sound of Kagome's voice.

"INUYASHA HELP ME!" Kagome's scream came again.

"I'M COMING KAGOME JUST HOLD ON!" Inuyasha yelled back, running faster.

All around Inuyasha trees were passing him as he jumped occasionally on the tops. He made one final leap into the air, he landed in a small clearing where a large monkey-demon had Kagome by the throat.

"Inuyasha…help me…" Kagome said in between gasps.

"So…this is the famous Inuyasha," the monkey-demon snarled.

"Who are you?" Inuyasha snapped.

"I am the Leader of the Monkey-Demon tribe, Manemoru," the demon replied with a smirk. He tightened his grip on Kagome's neck making her gasp.

"I don't know why you're here but I'm going to kill you!" Inuyasha said while charging forward reaching for Tetsusaiga.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you! Draw your sword and she dies!" Manemoru exclaimed stopping Inuyasha in his tracks.

Inuyasha frowned. "What is it that you want?"

"Hahaha I would have thought that was obvious…I want your sword Inuyasha," he replied. "Rumor has it that it can slay 100 demons in one swipe."

"Feh it wouldn't let a lowly demon like you wield it!" Inuyasha retorted with a smirk.

"Hand it over or the girl dies!" Manemoru shouted red in the face with anger.

"Fine," he said trying to sound resigned. 'Hmph if he thinks that he will be able to wield Tetsusaiga.'

"No Inuyasha don't!" Kagome exclaimed.

Inuyasha ignored her and said, "Exchange at the same time."

"Fine," Manemoru agreed and stepped forward. Inuyasha did the same and reached for Tetsusaiga and handed it out. Inuyasha made sure he had a firm grip on Kagome's hand and gave Manemoru the sword.

'Now I will have it!' Manemoru thought greedily.

Just when he put his hand on Tetsusaiga, an electric shock ran through his body and Inuyasha grabbed Kagome. The sword fell to the ground and Manemoru backed away with smoke coming off his hand.

"What?" Manemoru exclaimed.

Inuyasha took this chance to put Kagome behind him and slash out at Manemoru who screamed in agony.

"My face!"

"Shows you! Now it's time to finish you off!" Inuyasha exclaimed while diving for Tetsusaiga and unsheathed it.

"WIND SCAR!" he shouted and yellow electricity shot out and headed toward Manemoru at an alarming speed.

"NO! HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?" Maneomaru's shouts were the last thing that was heard out of his mouth before he was desinigrated(spelling?) by the powerful blast of the Wind Scar. Kagome, who was still behind Inuyasha, just stared in wonderment. After she found her voice again to talk she said, "Thank you for saving me Inuyasha,"

"Feh if I didn't Sesshomaru would murder me," Inuyasha replied while sheathing his sword.

"So that's the only reason you did it?" Kagome exclaimed trying to control her temper but was sadly failing.

Inuyasha turned to look at her. "Well I don't have any other reason to."

"You mean you didn't do it because you care?"

"No," Inuyasha said but immediately regretted it upon seeing the look on Kagome's angered face.

"YOU INSENSITIVE JERK! YOU COULD AT LEAST CARE A LITTLE BIT! WE ARE GOING TO GET MARRIED YOU KNOW!" Kagome yelled in Inuyasha's face making him cower under her slightly.

Before Inuyasha could say anything in his defense, Kagome stormed off in the way toward the palace. He watched her go with a regretful look on his face. Inuyasha really hadn't meant to hurt her feelings but he refused to get close to her especially after he had been betrayed so many years ago…


'Why? Why? WHY?' Kikyo screamed in her head. For the longest time now she was beginning to wonder why this arrangement had to even be made…after all it wasn't fair. 'I suppose I have to accept it either way but how can I? My dream was always to find the perfect man and fall madly in love with him and him I. I wish things could have turned out that way…' Kikyo sighed not noticing exactly where she was going and bumped into something solid. She fell over onto the ground and said, "Oh please forgive me. I was not paying any attention to where I was going,"

"Oh no it's quite okay Lady Kikyo," the person said reaching an arm out in Kikyo's direction. Kikyo had no idea who this new man was but he had a very kind looking face and flashed her a warm smile.

Kikyo gracefully accepted the man's outstretched arm and asked curiously, "May I inquire your name?"

"Oh excuse my rudeness, my name is Hojo," the man replied with a smile. Kikyo blushed. 'Why am I blushing?'

"Are you going somewhere or would you like to take a walk in the gardens for awhile mi'lady?" Hojo asked politely, his boyish face still set in the same silly smile.

"I guess I could for awhile but not for awhile since I must attend Sunday church,"

"Not a problem. Shall we go Lady Kikyo?" Hojo asked linking his arm with Kikyo's.

"Sure…and just call me Kikyo," Kikyo replied. 'Maybe I can finally get my mind off of Naraku and the upcoming marriage.

"So what brings you here Hojo?" Kikyo asked looking over at the young man waiting for an answer.

Hojo acquired a solemn look on his face and said, "Well lately, many toad-demons have been attacking our villages and leaving no survivors. They are truly frightful. After they have killed someone, they take their souls as food. Soon every village will be destroyed unless we can get assistance from Your Majesty, Sesshomaru."

"Oh I am so sorry. I do wish you can find some way to save the villages!" Kikyo exclaimed concerned.

Hojo's face immediately turned into a smile and told Kikyo that he was thankful for her concern.

"So what brings you here?"

"Oh well you see... Oh no I'm so sorry Hojo, church is starting soon so I must be off! I did have a lovely time though. Maybe we could see more of each other?"

"I would love to," Hojo said and kissed Kikyo's hand gently and let it fall back to her side slowly. "Until next time!"

Kikyo watched Hojo leave with a smile. The gesture made a light pink blush appear on her face.

000 Somewhere in the shadows 000

'How could he just take Kikyo like that! Who does he think he is!' Naraku thought about to punch something, preferably that Hobo guy.

Naraku watched angrily as Kikyo began to walk away with a blush on her face. He was tempted to go out and beat the living crap out of Hojo but instead he decided to go and talk to Kikyo in hopes of winning her over. He defiantly thought she was the most beautiful woman he laid eyes on and not just saying that for looks. Kikyo was kind and gentle but if you pissed her off she could defend herself.

Naraku slowly felt his anger ebbing away as he silently watched his angel. He decided that it was the perfect moment to go and talk to her…

0000 With Kagome 0000

"What should I wear…" Kagome pondered on what she would wear to Sunday church.

"I think you should wear the white and pink silk one. It would look great on you."

'What? I don't have a pink and white silk dress…and who is that…it sounds like a guy…oh no…it isn't who I think it is…'

Kagome turned around slowly to see who was in her room and gasped when she saw exactly who it was…

000000 With Kikyo 000000

"AHH!" Kikyo screamed when an unknown object jumped in front of her. There stood a smirking Naraku.

"So we meet again Lady Kikyo," Naraku said with his smirk still in place.

Upon realizing who had scared her, she glared icy cold daggers toward him. "What do YOU want?"

"What can't I talk to my fiancé?" Naraku asked stepping closer toward Kikyo who was giving him a look that could freeze hell over.

"Not when your fiancé despises you and doesn't want to talk to you," Kikyo answered back coldly. Naraku just kept advancing until he was so close that their noses almost touched. Kikyo blushed, finally realizing how close they were. Before she could start to glare at him again and push him back, he leaned in close as if he was going to kiss her.

'Oh no! He isn't going to kiss me is he?' Kikyo thought franticly. She willed her body to move but she couldn't much to her dismay. In a matter of seconds Naraku's lips were on Kikyo's firmly. She actually found herself enjoy this kiss though she couldn't figure out why.

'Oh how I've waited to do this!' Naraku thought mentally doing a dance (ok I know this is soooo OOC but just imagine it…man just the thought of it made me laugh so hard so I had to put it in). Slowly, his muscular arms slid around her dainty waist and Kikyo's arms found their way up around his neck pulling him closer. Kikyo began to run her fingers through his silky black hair and found their way up to his dog ears. (ok just 2 let every1 know, Naraku IS a half-demon and since hes now the same kind of demon as Inuyasha I thought it only logical for him to have dog-ears too! Lol).

Although he didn't want to, he slowly pulled away from Kikyo in order to breath. She still had her eyes closed, savoring the memory of the kiss. Naraku stared down at the woman in his arms with an unreadable expression.

Kikyo finally opened her eyes and found herself staring into Naraku's own purplish orbs. In the distance, bells could be heard and that snapped Kikyo out of the trance she was in.

"Oh god I'm late for church!" She said before rushing off. She knew she had no time to change so she just stayed in her light blue day-dress.

Naraku just stared after Kikyo with a dumbfounded look on his face. One minute he was holding his fiancé in his arms and the next she was running off toward church. 'I will never understand woman.' He thought and walked toward the castle. He didn't go to church very often so he had a couple hours to himself.

000000 At the same time as Kikyo and Naraku 000000

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

Inuyasha shrugged and mumbled something Kagome couldn't make out.

"What?" Kagome asked not catching what he said.

This time Inuyasha repeated it a little louder. "I said I'm sorry for earlier."

Kagome didn't know what to say. Here the insensitive jerk, as she likes to call him, was apologizing to her for being rude earlier.

She walked up to Inuyasha and put her hand on his forehead and asked worriedly, "Inuyasha are you alright? You're not sick are you?"

"Feh woman I'm fine!" Inuyasha snapped. Kagome pulled her hand away and was unaffected by Inuyasha's tone.

"Oh well then apology accepted!" Kagome exclaimed giving Inuyasha a hug. All he could do is blush and awkwardly return the embrace.

Kagome pulled away and asked him how he knew about the white dress.

"Umm well…" he stuttered scratching the back of his head with a blush. "It was my mother's"

"Oh Inuyasha it's beautiful!" Kagome gushed running her slender fingers over the silken fabric. The dress was the most beautiful one she had seen. The neckline was a little lower than anything she had worn, exposing more cleavage, but was still considered modest and was lined in pink trim with beautiful purple dragons sewn into it. The sleeves were different than what was in style but it was her favorite style, the one she loved so much: sleeves that draped down her arm and covered some of her fingers. They were also outlined in the same fashion as the neckline. For the most part of the dress it was white.

But the most breathtaking part of the dress was from the waist down. The waist would hug her form perfectly with a loose purple and pink rope belt was placed loosely around her waist. The bottom cascaded out in waves down to the floor where it was also lined in the pink and purple lining. Close to the bottom was an exquisitely sewn purple dragon that was outlined in gold. The dragon design was spread from her knee down and next to it was a pink orb. The dress was perfect and Kagome was speechless.

"Well do you um like it?" Inuyasha asked uncertainly. He wasn't exactly sure why he had given this dress that used to be his mother's to her, his own actions confused him.

"Do I like it?" Kagome asked still gawking at the dress. "No Inuyasha I don't." She finished making Inuyasha's ears droop in shame. "I LOVE IT!" Kagome burst out making Inuyasha jump in surprise.

"You do?" Inuyasha asked still slightly jumpy from Kagome's little outburst.

"Oh Inuyasha its perfect! I absolutely love it!" she replied with such a warm smile that Inuyasha thought that it was worth it to give Kagome the dress. Her expression was worth a million words. Before he knew what was going on, Kagome leaned up and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before running into the bathroom to change into the dress for church. Inuyasha now supported a lovely red color that could rival one of a red rose. His hand made his way up to his cheek where he thought shocked, 'Did she just kiss me?' Inuyasha walked over to her bed and sat down, still with a shocked look on his face. He decided to wait for Kagome to get done changing and then accompany her to church.

He never did enjoy church, it always made him bored and tired how they went on and on about things he didn't really understand. His thoughts began to wander to other matters of the marriage but didn't last long because Kagome came out of the bathroom. Inuyasha's mouth literally dropped open at the sight of her.

Kagome was wearing the dress and it fit perfectly. She decided to leave her hair down so it cascaded down her shoulders in shiny black waves. Much to his delight, Kagome didn't put on any make-up besides some light pink lip gloss.

"Well then, shall we go Lord Inuyasha?" Kagome asked completely oblivious to the look Inuyasha was now giving her.

Inuyasha snapped out of the daze he was in and abruptly shut his mouth. "Y-Yeah let's go. And just call me Inuyasha," he managed to get out sitting up from the bed.

"Ok," Kagome replied while heading towards the door. Inuyasha soon followed after marveling at how Kagome looked. 'Ha! It's because you like her!' the little voice in his head said triumphantly.

'You wish.'

'I just speak the truth nothing more…' the voice said.

'Like I could ever fall for a wench like that.'

Inuyasha and Kagome were now making their ways down the many halls that Inuyasha knew so well. Of course Kagome didn't know her way around as well yet so she chose to follow Inuyasha closely remembering the details for if she were to ever need to.

They rounded the last corner that led to the large oak doors that Kagome knew well since she normally took trips out and in. Inuyasha opened the heavy doors and waited for Kagome to walk through before closing them behind him.

The journey to the church wasn't a long one since it was merely perched upon a grassy hill 5 minutes away from the great mansion. In a matter of minutes they were walking up the stone steps that led to the church.

"Why did they have to make so many steps?" Inuyasha grumbled. It seemed to take forever to walk up the many stairs and if it hadn't been for Kagome there, Inuyasha would have jumped up to the top and been there by now.

"Oh be patient Inuyasha we're almost there," Kagome said in a calm voice. All his grumbling was becoming irritating, but she managed to stay cool.

"Kagome!" a voice called from behind the couple. Kagome turned to see who had called out her name and saw it was her sister Sango.

"Oh it's you Sango!" Kagome said in a surprised tone. "On our way to church?"

"Well no duh these stairs don't go anywhere else…" Inuyasha mumbled in a low voice but Kagome still caught it.

"I heard that Inuyasha and its called being polite!" Kagome snapped facing Inuyasha angrily. She was about to yell at the hanyou but Sango had reached where they were standing and touched Kagome's shoulder.

"It's okay Kagome, just ignore him," Sango said soothing Kagome's rising temper.

"Yeah you're right," she replied starting to continue her voyage up the stone steps leaving Inuyasha behind.

"Hey wench how dare you leave me!" Inuyasha yelled raising his fist in the air fuming. Kagome just ignored him and started to chat with Sango.

"So how are things going with your fiancé?"

"Terrible! He's such a sick pervert! Every chance he gets, he grabs my behind and says some lame excuse to cover up for it!" Sango exclaimed recalling the events from earlier when she was getting ready.

0000000000 Flashback 000000000

"Dum dum dum…" Sango hummed happily. So far her day had been going really well. 'No perverts, no major activities, and I got to sleep in!' she thought with a sigh.

She had just woken up and begun to get ready for the Sunday church. 'So what shall I wear?'

Sango had to choose between 2 dresses, both of which were exquisite. One choice was a velvety lavender dress with deep purple and pink dragonflies bordering the sleeves and end of the dress. The neckline was a little higher than usual, resting right at the beginning of her shoulders. Her other choice was a beige and brown one. This dress had a much more complicated design than the previous choice. Along the neckline was many brown gems embedded in it. Down stretching from her knee down was an elaborate brown and white flower. The main color was brown and it was outlined in white.

'They are both so beautiful!' Sango exclaimed to herself. 'I'm feeling good today…I think I'll wear the beige one!'

Sango slipped into the beautiful dress and admired how it accented her body perfectly.

She walked over to her small vanity mirror and took out her jewelry box. Out of the rainbow of spectors of color, she chose a brown gem necklace and matching earrings. She took her brush and began to comb her hair. Sango decided to wear her hair in a comb clip. She pulled her hair back loosely and stuck the clip in to hold her many dark brown tresses in place.

After taking one final look in the mirror, she opened her door and was on her way toward the outside and church. She was about half-way out the door when a familiar voice called her name…

"MY DEAR SANGO!" the voice yelled.

"Ugh not you…why can't I just have one day without you in it?" Sango asked annoyed knowing that her day was now ruined.

"Why Sango you do look lovely today!" Miroku exclaimed looking her over. 'She is the most beautiful woman I've ever met…'

"Go away you pervert," Sango said ignoring his flattery.

"But Sango, I only wish to talk to you!" Miroku insisted. He wasn't going to give up without a fight. This time he did have something important to tell her.

Sango gave him a deadpan look. "What is it? Going to stroke my rear and make up some lame excuse for it?"

"No, I'm serious. There is something I need to talk to you about," Miroku repeated with a serious voice.

Sango looked skeptical but decided to listen to what he had to say. "Fine, what is it?"

"Well you see Sango…I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I've been acting." Miroku said attaining a sad look. He paused for a moment before continuing. "There has been a curse laid on me by a demon named Katoshi (Ka-to-shi exactly how it looks lol…of course Naraku is kinda the good person in this story but there HAS to be a bad guy to take his place ne? lol). He is truly despicable and is our arch enemies as dog-demons. His goal is to defeat our kind and take over our lands."

'Wow I never would have guessed!' Sango thought. "I am so sorry Miroku," she said sympathetically.

Miroku smiled. "I don't need your sympathy. I just want to destroy him and this curse will be lifted."

Sango actually was enjoying his presence at the moment; it was the first time they had a civilized conversation. All was silent for a minute before Miroku couldn't take it anymore and began to inch closer and closer toward Sango's backside. Sango, who was lost in her own thoughts, didn't notice until it was to late.

"YOU HENTAI PERVERT! YOU CAN'T GO ONE TIME WITHOUT TOUCHING MY REAR! WE WERE HAVING A CIVILIZED CONVERSATION AND YOU JUST HAD TO RUIN IT BY GOING TO YOUR BAD WAYS! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! YOUR SO INSENSITIVE! I SWEAR IF YOU EVER TOUCH IT AGAIN YOU WON'T LIVE TO HAVE ANY KIDS!" Sango shouted in Miroku's face. This was the maddest she has ever gotten and Miroku was really scared. He regretted ever giving in to the desire this time. All the other times it hadn't been so bad. Sango stormed off to go to church before she was late.

'I had better let her cool down.' Miroku thought with a sigh. He glanced down at his hand in disgust before making his way back to his room.

000 End Flashback 000

"I can't believe he would do that!" Kagome exclaimed feeling sorry for her close sister.

"No kidding…" Sango said nodding her head in agreement.

Inuyasha smirked. "Typical Miroku."

"What's that supposed to me-" Kagome was about to ask but they reached the church and forgot to finish as she marveled and the church. There were stain-glass windows of Baby Jesus and crosses. There were many small details that it made her gasp in awe. She knew she couldn't just stand there all day, so they made their way to the doors that also had stain-glass pictures on them. The church was enormous and many benches were in numerous rows, all facing toward the center stage. Some people were already there and in their seats.

Kagome, Inuyasha, and Sango each had seats in the front row closest to where the priest would preach. It wasn't long until the bells went off signaling the beginning of the mass. The young priest stepped in and began the beginning prayer. In the middle of the prayer, the doors swung open, exposing a panting Kikyo, her dress slightly disarrayed after climbing the stairs at such a fast past.

Kikyo suddenly looked uncomfortable and self-conscious as all eyes fell on her. She quickly fixed her dress and hair and began to walk to her seat next to Sango.

"I apologize deeply for interrupting Priest," Kikyo said bowing slightly in front of the priest.

"It is quite alright Lady Kikyo," he replied signaling for her to take her seat. Kikyo did just that and the rest of the mass went without interruptions.

0000 In Sesshomaru's Study 0000

Sesshomaru was pacing back and forth in his study in deep thought. All the planning had to be done for the wedding and most of it was his work.

'Hmph they should get a woman to do this job.' Sesshomaru thought annoyed. 'I think I'm going to visit the kitchens and find a snack…'

Sesshomaru walked out his study taking the quickest route to the kitchens. He was rounding a corner at a very fast speed and didn't realize someone was coming around the corner at the same time.

"Oh I'm so sorry your Majesty!" a young woman exclaimed quickly getting up from her place on the ground and bowed.

"Don't think anything of it," Sesshomaru replied offhandedly. "May I ask your name?"

"It's Rin sir," the girl chirped. She looked the age of at least 20 but had a young looking face.

"Well I guess I'll see you around Rin," Sesshomaru said.

"Yes Your Majesty," Rin said while giving another bow. 'Wow he's handsome!' Rin thought with a blush.

Unbeknownst to the two, they would DEFINATLY be seeing more of each other…
