Kagome woke slowly, cautiously opening her eyes. She was still in the chandelier. She flew down gracefully; checking to make sure no one was there. She placed a dress on. It was plain. It loosely tugged her hips and body, making it so she looked somewhat deformed. Her mother made her wear the blue dress many a time. She placed a veil on her face. It was also blue. She searched for a cloak. She found a deep black one with a hood. It was perfect. She placed the cloak upon her, shielding her whole being to make her appear as a shadow. She walked out of her room to head to breakfast when she was knocked down. She fell down with 'oomph'. A heavy body landed on her. The offending person was beginning to curse. She looked up to find it was a silver headed man. 'Sesshomaru!!' she thought with anger. She then noticed something move. The cutest ears ever were on his head!!! This was defiantly not Sesshomaru. She watched as the ears twitched cutely. She couldn't resist herself as she began to pet his ears. She heard a purr as she giggled. She stifled the rest of her giggles with her hand. As soon as her hand left the man's ear, the purr became a growl. The man stood up to glare at her. She continued to giggle. She noticed his eyes soften. He stuck out a hand that she covered daintily with her own. He pulled her up.

"Hi. My name is Inuyasha, and to whom do I owe the pleasure of knocking over?" The man said with a smirk.

"My name is Kagome, and I must say, you have the cutest ears I have ever seen!!!" Kagome said as she began to stroke the soft ears. He began to purr again as he batted her fingers away. She giggled.

Inuyasha

Inuyasha woke to find he was nuzzling the sweet scent that lingered in the ribbon he had swiped earlier. He inhaled deeply loving the way his scent merged with her own unique one. He walked slowly over to his drawer, pulling out his own clothing. He put on his usually red top and pants before heading out the door. He bumped into someone and fell onto the person. He had his face in her stomach, when he felt something on his ears. It was a soft petting motion that relaxed him to no end. He didn't realize he was purring. He heard a melodic giggle. The soft and delicate hand slipped away from his furry ear. He began to growl at the loss of warmth and petting. He stood up and glared hard at the offender. She continued to laugh as he relented the intensity of the glare. She had an enchanting giggle. He stuck out a hand that she accepted. Pulling her to her feet, he smirked as he asked her to whom did he owe the pleasure of knocking down. He loved her response about his ears as she began to pet them again. He realized the purr now, and swatted her hands away, earning another giggle.

Regular

"Anyway, you are on your way to breakfast are you not? Want to walk with me?" Kagome asked smiling from behind her veil. He nodded his head as she grabbed his hand and lead him to the dinning hall. Word began to cycle through his head as he wondered why she wasn't repulsed by his mixed breed. He shrugged it off as she pushed open the doors. Inuyasha noticed his brother's eyes burning along with the elder sister's on Kagome and himself. She seemed unfazed as she led him to where she sat. He pulled out her chair as she bowed and said a quick thank-you. He began to walk away, used to sitting at the bottom of the table when she felt a hand around his wrist.

"Please, would you sit by me?" Kagome asked gently. He nodded dumbly as he sat. His brother's eyes were blazing with hatred, anger, distasted, and jealousy? He looked at Kagome, wondering how she ate. The cloak covered her face in shadow, so he could only see the food disappear into the shadow. He shook his head before beginning to eat his soup. Sesshomaru barely moved, let alone touch his food. Kikyou was eating at a somewhat face past, eating the food like a sea absorbing sand after each wave. Kagome's mother was no where to be seen. The two fathers were conversing over the subject of war upon the North and South. The south was ruled by a wolf demon named Kouga. Apparently Naraku was trying to get an alliance with him. The North was ruled by a spider demon Hanyou by the name of Naraku. Kagome had heard stories about the man. He could take just about any form and was quite evil. Kagome began to believe the stories, after she met Sesshomaru, who was in fact as cold as they said.

Kagome ate little, enough to keep her satisfied. She looked over to Inuyasha who had also finished.

"Hey Inuyasha! Want go do something? This place is so boring!!!!" Kagome said excited. This man was finally treating her well without knowing how she looked. He was gone when her little undressing happened. She watched him nod slowly. She smiled in her cloak's shadow. "Great! I'll meet you at greeting room in a couple, okay? We can have a picnic for lunch! " He nodded once more before she got up to change. She stopped at the kitchen.

"Hey, can you guys make me something for two? I'm having a picnic with one of the Princes. They cooks nodded as the proceeded in preparing there food for her. Kagome left the room and walked to her own. She stepped inside and walked over to the dresser. Halfway there, she stepped on something. She bent down to pick it up. "My journal..." Kagome murmured. She placed it on her dresser as she rummaged through her drawers. The journal probably dropped when she was sleeping. She found a light and comfortable kimono that she placed on. She placed her hair in a large braid before going to the kitchen. She picked up the packed lunch before going to the greeting room.

Inuyasha stood up after Kagome left and straightened out his red outfit (I almost but Kimono here hahahahaha that would have been SO awkward). He then headed straight to the greeting room to wait for Kagome. He spotted Sesshomaru who was about to head over to obviously bring him down to his half-breed level, when Kikyou got over to him and practically mauled him. He was thankful the wench did, or he would be six feet under. Sesshomaru obviously wanted Kagome, but there was no way Inuyasha would get that stupid wench that hung to his brother. He stood against the wall and waited for her. She came a couple minutes later. They walked outside in the garden talking about everything from royalty to Sesshomaru to what it was like on the outside. They were around the waterfall when they decided to stop for lunch.

"This is the perfect place for lunch, no?" Kagome said as she pulled the blanket out of the basket and spread it out. She sat down with Inuyasha joining her. She pulled out the lunch. She daintily ate her miso soup. Inuyasha ate his ferociously.

"Been long since you ate?" Kagome said with a giggle.

"No, eating is just a good hobby!" Inuyasha said as he slurped up some noodles from his own soup. "Who takes care of all these plants?" Inuyasha said with an amount of awe at the beautiful gardens.

"We have a couple gardeners, but it is really my job, well not job, but hobby to take care of the plants. I really don't get out much or really have a lot of friends that hang out with me. They all thought I was hideous and mean, except for Sango, she actually got to know me. She really is great; she talks about what it's like on the outsides. She is so descriptive, that I sometimes feel like I'm there."

"Maybe I'll smuggle you out of here one day! Then you can see it for yourself! Just you me!"

"That would be great!" Kagome stood up with Inuyasha. She placed the dishes in the basket as Inuyasha folded the blanket.

"Inuyasha! The blanket is folded so wrong."

"Feh! It not as easy as it looks, you know!"

"Here, you take these two corners, and I'll take these two. Now come towards me. Hold on to it, and I'll grab these ones now. Fold again. And you keep doing that until it is completed. One more fold. HA! You have successful folded a blanket! Congratulations!"

"Feh." Inuyasha said, creating a giggle to irrupt through Kagome.

"C'mon. Let's go now! I don't want be here when it's dark, I let this spell down that protects that castle, that lets animals come in. They're not really dangerous but, they like privacy. I'm the only one who they openly enjoy in their presence. I've taught them not to injure anyone, but they do freak people out."

"Uhh....do they ummmm.....get into the house?"

"Don't tell me you're scared, Inuyasha! Who's gonna protect me!" Kagome said with a laugh.

Kagome and Inuyasha walked past the maze as Kagome struck a subject she knew she had to ask, well, it wasn't the exact question, but it would get the answer.

"So, how was the dance?" Kagome asked Inuyasha, somewhat hesitantly.

"Well...I made great friends with this guy Miroku..."

'Hint of personality....ugh...hopeful not as bad as what Sango claims.' Kagome thought.

"But one thing that really is a puzzle to me is, well I left to use the bathroom, and when I came back, everything was sorta....well paused. Everyone was staring at Sesshomaru and Kikyou. It took a lot of self will not laugh at that cloth she called a dress soaked in red drink. Oh! No offense or anything! Heh. Heh." Inuyasha said nervously.

'So he didn't see my face because he went to the bathroom. That's where he was.' Kagome thought with relief. "It's really all right..." Kagome said sitting down under a Sakura Tree "I really don't like Kikyou...or my mother." Inuyasha sat down to her right and looked at the koi pond in front of them.

"I know what you mean...I really don't like Sesshomaru either."

"The thing that irks me though is I didn't even do anything!" Kagome yelled standing up. Her head dropped as Inuyasha placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Only two people have ever seen my face, my figure! My mom and a midwife, and you know what?!?! The midwife was murdered! I was forced to wear clothes that made me look hideous and misshapen! I was ignored! I was hated! Kikyou was made at me all the time because my mother raised her that way. Kikyou isn't really like that though! I know it! She's nicer, somewhere in there. But...I just want someone to be my friend! But it is so hard to know who's real and who's fake. They all put up a veil, but why? I tried so hard to get it off!" Kagome said desperately.

"I know what you mean. I'm a half-breed so people either look down at me or get frightened. I never fit in. Sometime people will like me because I look good or am rich, but it's always Sesshomaru who gets the first looks. First heir, better looks, and richer. It gets so annoying! It sucks! But, you know, you'll never get anywhere with out trust. Not everyone is bad, you know."

"Wow. Inuyasha, that is much more wisdom then I thought you possessed!" Kagome said with a giggle.

"Yeah....Hey!" Inuyasha said as Kagome sprung more giggled.

"Come on! Let's go Home! It's almost dinner!" Kagome said as they began to walk home.

Sesshomaru spent a horrible day with Kikyou. She swamped herself upon him all day. She dragged him to the living room where her measurements were taken and he watched as the dress was made, the process of every stitch. When he tried to go, she stood in his way. He had to maintain a large amount of self control, from tearing her to shreds, especially since he wanted to...supervise, the "date" Kagome and his awful half-breed were experiencing. His half-breed half-brother, his pathetic low half-brother had gotten her attention, he beat him. That was impossible! He was never beaten before, let alone by someone on such a low level as his half-brother. She was his...she was HIS!

Kagome and Inuyasha arrived with 10 minuets before dinner. Kagome went to change with Inuyasha by her side. Kagome changed into a long flowing Kimono, while Inuyasha changed into a silver and red. He met her outside, where he escorted her to the dinner table. Sesshomaru, Kikyou, his father and Kagome's parents were already seated at the table. Inuyasha pulled out the chair for Kagome before turning to the only empty seat on the left of Sesshomaru. Kikyou was on the other side of Kagome, with her mother beside her. Inuyasha's father was to the right of the lord of the Eastern land. Inuyasha sat down as Sesshomaru's eyes bored into his soul. Burning him to the core. 'ughh...major grudge issues!' Inuyasha thought. The servers came in and set down the plates. Sesshomaru barely took a sip of tea. Inuyasha ate slowly somewhat frightfully. The lords were talking about inviting Kouga to stay over. Inuyasha listened with half a heart, as did his brother who was too busy glaring daggers into his back. Gradually, everyone began to retire. The lords and lady retired to the privacy of the study where they further discussed the South ruler. Kikyou left to go to bed, amazingly without Sesshomaru. Kagome walked up to Inuyasha. He arose from the seat where he was taken up in a friendly hug.

"Thank-you Inuyasha for today." Kagome said.

"You're welcome. It was one of the best days I've ever had. So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Defiantly!" Kagome proceeded out the room. Half way down the hall she realized she forgot something and went to the dinning room. She was about to enter when she heard voices. She paused to listen.

As soon as Kagome left, Inuyasha felt the glare upon his back. Turning, he met his brother's cold eyes, brimming with anger. They stared at each other for perpetuity of time, before, Inuyasha, tuned his head.

"I can't help it; she is fun to be with and accepts me for me." Inuyasha said unaware of the extra ears listening.

"She'll never accept the half-breed you are!" Sesshomaru yelled back. "She is mine and no one else's!"

"You're wrong Sesshomaru!" Entered a new voice barely above a whisper. The two Inu brothers turned to see the person step out of the shadows. Sesshomaru gasped.

"I'm my own girl; I belong to me, myself, and I. And I will never belong to you." Kagome walked over to the zoned-out Sesshomaru and slapped him across the face forcing his head back.

"By the way, I find Inuyasha much more attractive, and all around better person than you. Go find Kikyou, you and she should start a club of torturing younger siblings." Kagome said as she turned on heal and walked away. Sesshomaru stood with his head still back and stared into space. 'Inuyasha...better....than...me?'
