Chapter Nine:
A few weeks passed uneventful. Inuyasha was still being his normal self, rude and arrogant. Although Kagome did get some alone time with him, all this time she never knew he had a caring and nurturing side to him.

"Inuyasha? Lets go for a walk, in the forest." Kagome grabbed Inuyasha by the hand and started off towards the woods. It was a calm evening. The air was thick with fog from the lake. They walked past the lone bridge and over to the dock. Vines had crept their way up the side and oddly shaped flowers had begun to grow. "They are beautiful."
Kagome picked a flower and placed it gently in her hair. "You know, you find the most odd things beautiful" She nodded politely at him. "Kagome, you never judge. That will get you into trouble." The wind picked up and Kagome's hair started to fly, knocking the sweet flower from her hair and into the water. "Sometimes, judging only lead to problems. Sometimes you just have to trust, follow your heart and believe that if you just do what your supposed to things will turn out in the end."
Inuyasha bent down and picked the flower from the water. Slowly he stood back up and never took his gaze off the flower. "You know some call that stupidity. You cant just ignore things."
"I know, and I don't ignore them, I just look at things differently them people. You see an odd flower, I see a work of nature. A masterpiece of color and texture." Inuyasha smiled and set the flower back in Kagomes dark tresses.

"Hunny! The wolves are our friends! They must be welcomed into the land! We HAVE TO GO!" Asune raved to her husband.
"NO! Isn't it enough that I let them into my land? They know well enough that the Inu's and the Wolves are not on level ground!" Lord Inu slammed the door to his den.
"I know you don't like the wolves since...the...accident." Asune adverted her eyes to the left wall.
"Just say it! Since my-"
"LORD INU! We have a visitor!" A small servant boy knocked on the large wooden doors. The sound boomed through the den. "It's Lord Kouga, sir!" The small boy quickly ran away from the door as it slammed open, and a very angry Inu came from the den.
"Greetings Lord Inu, did I come at a bad time?" Lord Kouga bowed to the Lord and his wife as they both bowed to him. "No, no, no, please have a seat." Asune showed him to the den.
"Yes, well, what is it?" Lord Inu shuffled some of the papers around on his desk. Obviously not happy about the visit."Out with it I am very busy today." Asune shushed her husband. "Don't mind him, he is just a little grumpy today. So, why are you here Lord Kouga?"
Kagome recognized his voice, but only faintly. It sounded familiar but she couldn't put a face with it. The long dark brown hair and the tail showing visibly reminded her of someone. 'I wonder who it could be?' The name sounded familiar too. 'If I could only see his face' Kagome nearly jumped out of her skin as Inuyasha tapped her shoulder. "What are you looking-, Oh, Wolf." He spat the word as if it were foul.
Lord Kouga had just stopped talking when Asune saw her son. "Inuyasha, don't be rude come greet our guest. Is that Kagome with you? Please, both of you come out here." They both shuffled from behind the door and walked through the living room. Lord Kouga not bothering to turn around. "Inuyasha, Kagome, this is Lord Kouga." Kouga stood from his chair and turned around to a great suprise.
"Kagome?!" She gasped at the site. "Kouga..." It WAS him! Oh no, not now, not when she just got her life back on track. "Oh do you two know each other?" Asune smiled cheerfully.
"No, I guess I thought he was someone else. Its nice to meet you Lord Kouga." Kagome bowed to him and took Inuyasha by the hand. "We must be going now, don't want Miroku and Sango eating all the breakfast! Again nice to meet you Lord Kouga." Inuyasha huffed a hello and good-bye before casually walking out of the room hand in hand with Kagome.
"So Kagome, what was that all about?" Inuyasha took his seat at the far left of the table and Kagome sat down across from him. "Nothing, I just thought he was someone else. That's all." She gave him a sweet smile and started to eat her breakfast. Miroku and Sango no where to be found.
After they finished eating
"Huh? I wonder where Sango and Miroku are. They didn't come down for breakfast." Kagome had seen Sango this morning. It wasn't that hard to find her considering they shared a room. "Come on Inuyasha, lets go find them."
After walking through the halls for about an hour Inuyasha finally sniffed out where they were. Kagome pushed the door open and looked around the room. It seemed pretty empty. Well, except for the two bodies on the bed. Limbs intertwined. Kagome fought back a giggled as Inuyasha approached them with a pillow. Suddenly it was an all out pillow war. Miroku throwing and dodging pillows while Sango hid under the bed with Kagome. "Lets get out of here. On three ok?"
1-2-
3!!!!!
The girls rocketed from under the bed and out the door. Sango clutching to a sheet and they sprinted to their room slamming the door behind them."Why don't you just get a room with him it will be a lot easier." Kagome gasped out while she still had some air. "Besides everyone knows what your doing anyway."
"KAGOME! I will ok, soon." Sango walked into her closet and came out dressed. "Anyway im starved."
"Here I saved this for you. The servants already put the food away." Kagome through a muffin at Sango, who playfully fell over the bed like the pitch was too fast.
--------------------
"Kagura!" The prince yelled through the castle. "KAGURA!" The young woman came out from the shadows and bowed to him. "Lord Kouga back so soon."
"Yes, I have confirmed it, It is my Kagome. She is the image of beauty. Put the plan in action. I want her back as soon as possible!" Lord Kouga sat down on his throne.
"I got a question are you Prince or Lord? You cant be both." Kagura smiled sweetly and put a hand full of flowers in a vase. "I've always wondered about that."
"I cant and I am both. I'm known as Prince until I get married but I am Lord of this land." Lord Kouga walked over to the window and looked at the view of his land. 'Kagome sure has become more beautiful. Age only added to her natural beauty. I cant wait to have her back. I just hope she still loves me.'
