Hello again, reviewers! Gomen nasai! I'm sorry I didn't review earlier but I was very tired cause of homework and I was little bit lazy. Also I'm always going somewhere, I live in New York and not going out is hard. It's is the coolest city in the world besides Tokyo!) Well, I apologize again and here's my new chapter

Disclaimer: I said it before and although I don't want to say it I don't own Inuyasha and Co. L

            Inuyasha quickly escorted Kagome to the obi shop, where she found the most beautiful gold obi for Sesshomaru.

"Excuse me ma'am I'd like to purchase this obi please."

"Yes, my lady" she said, "Excuse my lady" she whispered, "if that obi is for our Lord's son Inuyasha, might I suggest red instead?" she whispered to Kagome as she handed her a beautiful red obi.

"Ummm… it's not for him", she whispered back, "but I'll buy it just in case, Arigato"

"Oh, thank you my lady, this obi will be perfect for whoever it is for"

"Arigato" Kagome said as she handed the woman the money.

"Arigato, my lady, and ja ne."

"Ja ne"

"Are you done, yet?" asked Inuyasha.

"Yes I'm finished"

"Do you need to go anywhere else?"

"No, but thanks for asking"

"Feh, let's go"

"Kay":

            They left the shop and proceeded through the busy streets. The village was full of energy; all around there were people selling various objects. There were people selling obi, necklaces, and even fresh fish. Inuyasha and Kagome walked through the streets at top speed, trying to get to the castle before dinner. If there was one thing that Inutaisho hated, it was waiting to eat. If a person was tardy, he would probably destroy a whole wing of the castle with just his yelling.

            They were at the bottom of the mountain on which the castle stood and they had about ten minutes before dinner started. There was no way they could make it there on time without getting scolded-except one.

"Hey what are you…"

            Inuyasha lifted Kagome on top of his back before she could finish protesting and quickly rushed to the top of the mountain. They arrived in a matter of minutes. When they arrived at the door he gently set her down. He stared into her honey brown eyes and she into his golden orbs, both were speechless for the brief moment then he quickly looked away and without a word he went inside, leaving Kagome speechless and alone.

What the hell just happened there? Why was I staring so much at that wench? I was only staring and nothing else so why am feeling so weird? I was only staring, at those beautiful, honey-hued eyes, so magnfici-.. What the hell? I think I caught some sickness from those humans in the village.   

With Kagome

What just happened?! He was staring at me and me at him. I was only looking and nothing else so why do I feel this way? (sound familiar?) Looking at those handsome eyes and magnificent pecs and… What the hell is wrong with me? I do not like him that way. She "convinced" herself.

Later that night at dinner

            When they arrived at the castle both Inuyasha and Kagome hurried to get ready for dinner. Kagome as always walked down the stairs to the dinner table, where Inutaisho, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha stood, waiting for her to be seated. However tonight it was a little awkward. Inuyasha and Kagome glanced at each other and looked away, both blushing when they lost contact. No one noticed the event except one, Inuyasha's mother, who said nothing.

            They ate as usual however there was and interruption at which Inutaisho became angered. Some human woman had dared to ask for admission into the castle and Inutaisho left to "deal" with the problem. The woman was described as wearing a green skirt and a pink blouse with a large weapon slung across her back.

"Jaken, who was at the door?" asked Lady Inutaisho

"Some woman with a large weapon, she dares to interrupt dinner! Lord Inutaisho left to kill her for bothering him!"

"NANI!?" cried Kagome, who ran from her seat to the front door.

"Such disrespect for dinner and you people want her to be in OUR family" said Inuyasha.

 "Well she must have a good reason" Sesshomaru said defending Kagome, "and I think we should find out" he then got up and left the table heading for the door with Inuyasha and his mother behind him.

            They hid behind the pillars which led to the front door listening to the conversation between Kagome and Inutaisho.

"Please let her go my Lord! You can't kill her!"

"And why can't I kill her, this is my house and I will do as I please! She is not only trespassing but she is also disturbing my family's dinner!"

"B-but you can't kill her, she's my best friend and if you kill her you'll have to kill me too!"

"Kagome" the newly introduced friend said, "Kagome you don't have to do that, he's right it's my fault I should have sent someone to announce my arrival beforehand. Even if it is for some filthy demon.

"Such insolence! I do not appreciate being yelled at LADY KAGOME! However since she is a friend and my son seems to approve of you I shall ignore that outburst."  He said as he walked away.

"Also I approve of your loyalty to friends, you were willing to give your life to save her and that is a quality which I approve of in a wife. And you…" he said looking at the trespasser, "you may stay here as long as you like, considering you are a friend of Lady Kagome."

            Inutaisho walked past the three spies.

"However I do not approve of spies in my family, especially you my wife. I never expected you of eavesdropping."

"Hehe… we were only curious, my lord"

"Yes curious indeed. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru go to your rooms and leave Lady Kagome some time alone with her friend."

            Kagome ran up to her friend and hugged her.

"Sango, I missed you so much! How are you and your family? How is the village?"

"Well my family and I are doing fine but the village is not. Kagome we hoped that you would marry the demon lord by now and help us. The village is barren and we are in need of food. And your family… your family…"

"What is it? What about them?"

"Their gone… they were killed by wolves who attacked the village."

"What, they can't be… they can't be dead" she broke down in tears. The whole castle and the village must have heard her when she cried. Kagome could stop crying for her lost family. Lady Inutaisho appeared from behind the pillar (yes they were still there) and embraced Kagome. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were depressed as well they just stood there and watched the scene that lay before them. Neither could imagine what life would be without their parents.

            Lady Inutaisho led Kagome and Sango to Kagome's bedroom. She showed Sango her bedroom, which was across from Kagome's room. She left both in their rooms.

            That night no one could sleep. Everyone's rooms were near Kagome's, where Kagome continued to cry. They all heard her despair, but neither could approach her. Kagome cried herself to sleep that night and finally realized that she was truly alone.
