In the throne room the king is going over different ideas with his consule if he were to expand his land when he sees both Kouga and his wife come into the room.
"You sir, are restricted to the grounds" the king says as he waves of his consule.
Kouga smirks and sits on the stares near the throne. "Am I under house arrest?"
"Do not mock me, boy, for I am in a foul disposition. - And I will have my way. You will marry Princess Ayame!" the king says in an angry voice
"Or what? You'll send me to the Americas like some criminal? All for the sake of your stupid contract." Kouga says as he gets up and into the kings face.
"You are the Crown Prince of France"
"And it is my life"
"Sweetheart...you were born to privilege, and with that comes specific obligations." Said his mother trying claim them down
"Forgive me, Mother, but marriage to a stranger... ...never made anyone in this room very happy."
"You will marry the princess by next fortnight or I will strike at you any way I can!" yelled the king
"What's it to be, Father? Hot oil or the rack?"
"I will simply deny you the crown... ...and... Live for ever!"
"Good. Agreed. I don't want it" Kouga said and stomped out of the room the queen and king look at each other
"You talk some since into that boy... His your son" the king then waved his console back to the table.
Meanwhile back with Kagome, Kagome walked into the room with fire wood to keep the room warm. Sango and Kikyo are playing a game together, Kikyo sees Kagome
"Somebody's in tribble" Kikyo says in a song voice
Kagome turns towards Kikyo "What do you mean?"
"You stuiped girl!" Kagura yells as she storms into the room, Kagome becomes frightened and drops the wood she was holding and walks backwards to get away from Kagura but there was a chair in the way so she falls into the chair.
"How dare you do this to me? To Kikyo? It all makes me sick! Its deceitfulness and I will not have it in this house!" Kagura yells into Kagome's face
"What did I do?" Kagome asks she looks towards Kikyo and Sango for help
"Think Kagome think really hard" Kikyo says, Sango makes motions with her hand and mouthing horse
Kagome looks down "Prince Kouga stole our horse this morning?"
"Yes, and that would explain why he returned it this afternoon. How dare you let him surprise us like that!" Said Kagura
"I'm sorry"
"You're lucky Kikyo was perfect as always she and the Prince had quite an interlude I shouldn't be surprised if he drops by again. Come, come! I must know exactly what was said. The simplest phrase can have a thousand meanings." Said Kagura
"I…I… I called him a thief madam. I did not recognise him"
Kagura turns to her daughters and laughs at Kagome's stupidity
"Oh Kagome you poor country girl" said Kagura as she looks at Kagome with discuses "Well, we must work extra hard to make sure the manor is spotless. We cannot have a royal bottom sitting on a dirty chaise, can we?" Kagura said in a mocking tone, Kagome looks down and shakes her head no "No" said Kagura, Totosai then walks into the room.
"What is he doing here?" said Kikyo
"I have worked off you're... My debt, madam. They told me I could go home." said Totosai
"Fine. Go... catch a chicken!" said Kagura.
Back with Kouga and his mother they walking through the gardens
"Do you know of courtiers Rumiko Takahashi she's a cousin of….. Well actually I don't know" Kouga asks his mother
"My dear Kouga there are fare to many courtiers to remember them all by name why do you ask?"
"Oh... Never mind" Kouga said with a sadden look
The king sees his wife and Kouga and comes up to them "In honour of Jinenji I've decided to through a ball. A masked ball, at which point you and I will strike a compromise"
Kouga laughs "You Compromise? When have you ever?"
"Hush Kouga" said the queen
"IF love is what you seek… I suggest you find it before then... Five days hence, at stroke of midnight you will announce your choice... Or I will chose for you are we agreed?" the king says
"What of the princess? Asked Kouga
"Let me worry about the princess you have bigger problems"
"Chose wisely Kouga, devoice is something they do over in the Americas" the queen said while looking at the king
The next morning Kagura was talking to young man on the kings Gard.
"What news do you bring me today? What of the engagement?" Kagura asks in a quiet voice to the gard
"Cancelled" said the gard, Kagura got a big smile on her face once she heard of this. "Rumour has it he must find himself a bride before the mask"
"Well that does not give us much time now does it?" Kagura then grabs some franks "I shall need to know... (Places a frank in the gard's hand)...who the competition is, every move he makes... (Places a frank in the gard's hand) ...his agenda... ...and any other titbits you might pick up." And places the rest of the franks into the gard's hands the gard smiles and learns in closer "The prince is playing tennis tomorrow at noon"
Kagura smiles at the gard "A skin of such... elegance... ...concealing such... ruthlessness" Kagura runs her fingers over the man's amour. "I've grown rather fond of our intrigues together. Surely you must know that"
"I'm having an inkling, my lady."
"When my daughter is Queen... ...perhaps we might come to a new arrangement."
With Kagome and Kaede they are doing chores, Kaede turns to Kagome with a small smile on her face.
"Oh Kagome what I would have given anything to see you all dressed up like a courtier. Speaking to the Prince like a lady."
"Oh Kaede, I don't that you would have approved I was fare from a lady, I was scolding him. I lied to him I gave him my mother's name. The man is insufferable."
Kaede gave a small laugh and a knowing smile towards Kagome.
"Well yes, you have been saying that all morning"
"Well it is true as it is now as it was then Kaede"
"Oh young one, he's royalty. They're born like that, but I bet he can be quiet charming once you get to know him."
Kagome sighs and gets up from her chores and looks towards Kaede.
"I think that he and Kikyo deserve each other" Kagome helps Kaede up.
"Oh! Bite your tongue child! The only throne I want her sitting on is the one I have to clean every day."
They share a small laugh together and walk toward the house.
A/N: Hey everyone I just got some questions, one I'm looking for some fanfictions I don't know if they are still around the first one is where Kagome gits bitten by a demon and then turns into a demon and then she mates Sess and Koga and Miroku and Inuyasha. The second fanfiction is one where Koga and Inuyasha try to mate Kagome and then Sess comes along they all fight and in order to stop the fighting Kagome offers herself to Sess.
The second question is what the deal on old fanfictions I would like take an idea from some fanfictions and make them my own in my own words. What do you think? Also is anyone reading my story Ever?
