Chapter Sixteen:

After Kagome was dressed Tadako showed her to a large dinning hall. It was lavishly decorated with colors of autumn. The table, which was made out of a dark cherry wood, had many different kinds of foods. Some Kagome had never seen. A chair was pulled out for her and she gladly set down, all thoughts of getting back to Inuyasha suddenly vanished as she took her seat..

"Kagome." A grin spread across Kouga's face, she was actually here and he had another chance with her. 'With the spell that has been put on here she wont remember she loves Inuyasha, just as long as that mutt doesn't show up.' Kouga walked into the room gracing her with his presence. "Hello Kouga." Kagome welcomed him into the room and watched him as he sat down.

'Ok Kagome, its now or never. You have to tell him.' Kagome rose from her chair and asked the servants to leave. Tadako and the others gave a questioning look to Kouga and he nodded for them to leave. "Yes, Kagome?" Kouga stood from his chair and walked into the neighboring room with Kagome following him. She guessed it was his study, it had a desk and a large book case. Strangely it reminded her of something, and she took a flash back into her memory where she saw another large study and a silver haired boy ... she suddenly felt really alone and had a sense that something was wrong.

"Kagome? Kagome are you ok?" Kouga waved a hand in front of her face. 'What could she be thinking about?' Kagome blinked stupidly and sat down in the chair in front of the desk. "Sorry, I guess I just blanked out..." Kagome looked to the floor trying to recall her memory but she failed. She couldn't get the image back. Kouga on the other hand was getting a little worried. Could she be fighting the spell? "Kagome? You were saying?" Kagome blinked a few more times and looked up to him again. "Huh? Oh yea, sorry I guess I'm just a little light headed."

After getting a few yukatas and some jeans and shirts from Sango, Inuyasha took her back to her room where they sat and talked.

"Rin, why didn't Kagome tell me about Kouga?" Rin rolled over on the bed to look at him. "It's hard to say. Their relationship wasn't exactly what you call nice, so it could be many things." Inuyasha stood from the chair and sat down on the bed. "What do you mean 'nice' ?" Rin sat up and looked around the room searching for an answer. "Well, Kouga put way to much effort into things. If he wanted it he got it, he was always in such a rush to get married and have children that he ignored the fact that Kagome wasn't ready for that. They only knew each other for about a month before they got engaged. I guess she is just embarrassed." Rin stood up from her new bed and started to stare out the window. "Sometimes I wish I would have witnessed these things first hand, instead of being told what happened by my father. Kagome's life was like a fairy tale to me. I used to look up to her even though I barely knew her."

There was a knock at the door and Asune came into the room. "Inuyasha..." She lowered her gaze to the floor. "I'm sorry if I interrupted you sweetie, but there is going to be a wedding tomorrow. Kouga is getting married...to Kagome. She's requested you meet her at the forest hot springs tomorrow at noon right before the wedding." Asune closed the door and both Inuyasha and Rin heard a heavy sigh followed by a sob. Asune had really like Kagome, she was hoping that they would become mate and give her grandchildren.
