Short one. But a lot of fluff! It also explains a lot of whats going on so it wasn't too much fun to write but it was necessary.

I do not own anyone except Undyne… sorta lol.

Chapter 4

Kagome sighed as she finally reached the castle gates. The two wolves at the gate eyed her suspiciously as she walked Aisa onto the property. "You're back," pointed out Sango who was just inside the gate. Kagome nodded slightly. "Where is Inuyasha?"

"He's coming," stated Kagome, not lifting her eyes to meet Sango's. "You're youkai?"

"Yes, Kouga is my cousin. If anything happens to him I will take over the cats after his parents die," said Sango coldly.

"So, why don't you stay at the wolf kingdom," questioned Kagome.

"She's in love with me," said a light, male voice from the doorway.

Sango blushed and scolded, "No I'm not! Go away Miroku!" She stumbled as she tried to push him out the door. Miroku easily managed to pick her up. Kagome's eyes bulged slightly before she decided to leave the room. She scurried to her room, and immediately began giggling. Suddenly, Kagome noticed a note on her bed. She walked over and picked it up, reading it carefully.

Lady Kagome,

I am pleased to hear from Naraku that you are the horse princess. I believe we should talk about this without the boys. Please meet me in the gardens when you get home.

Undyne

"I'm what?" Kagome whispered, sitting down on her bed. She shook her head and gathered herself, making her way to the gardens.

"Hello, princess," said Undyne as she stood to greet Kagome at the gardens.

"I don't think I'm a princess," she stated, shaking her head.

"How can you not know?" asked Undyne, astonished.

"My parents were killed when I was young and Naraku never told me," Kagome said shaking her head, "he probably didn't want me to know. He wanted to me to be obedient."

"Obedient?" Undyne questioned.

Kagome nodded and began to tell her story, "When I was young he told me I had a choice. I could train with him and be his mistress when I turned sixteen, or I could live on the streets without any support from him. Of course I had no family, so I was forced to depend on him. When I turned ten, he gave me a troublesome young colt, Aisa. I trained him. However, when I turned thirteen Naraku decided I was old enough and tried to… take advantage of me," Kagome winced, "I left with Aisa."

Undyne touched Kagome's shoulder and whispered, "I'm so sorry, dear. You can stay here as long as you like, and while you're here, you will call me mom." Kagome suddenly threw herself into the older woman's arms and began sobbing. "There, there," cooed Undyne, comforting the girl.

"Sorry," sniffed Kagome, "I think I'm going to go to bed." Undyne just nodded and allowed the girl to leave. Kagome stumbled back to her room. She was careful to close the door tightly before changing into her white, silk sleeping kimono. Finally, the sobs subsided and Kagome climbed into bed and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, a dark figure opened up Kagome's door and stalked towards her bed. A metal in her hand flickered through the darkness.

"Finally," purred the figure in a feminine voice, "I will get my revenge." She positioned the knife over Kagome when a large white shape smashed the door open and pinned the mysterious woman against the wall.

"Leave this kingdom... NOW!" shouted Inuyasha, in his dog form. Now, Kagome was able to see Kikyo, eyes wide, holding her dagger. Inuyasha gave one last growl and Kikyo hurried towards the door. Kagome sat up, watching Kikyo go. Inuyasha took one look at her and said, "Good night, princess."

"Um… Inuyasha?" called Kagome, as she got out of her bed. "I don't have a door…"

"O," began Inuyasha looking at the gaping opening, "We don't have any other guest houses open."

"Then… can I stay with you?" said Kagome. A blush spread across her cheeks as she stared at the floor. Inuyasha looked at her, his golden eyes searching her expression.

"Ok," he said and led the way to his house. Kagome followed the blush still present on her face. Kagome was amazed when she stepped into his room. The walls and ceiling were covered in a deep red silk. The dog walked over to a pile of silk pillows and blankets. He curled up in it and asked, "Are you coming?" Kagome nodded and curled up, head on a pillow.

"Good night," she mumbled as she drifted off to sleep. Inuyasha picked up his head to look at the sleeping girl. He smiled slightly to himself before putting his head back down, and following her in sleep.

The next morning, Kagome opened her eyes. At first they fluttered slightly, dimly registering that she was in a foreign place with a strange warmth at her back. Suddenly, reality hit her like a wave. Her eyes flashed open wide and she turned her head to see a boy behind her. It was Inuyasha. He had reverted to his human form. He was pressed tightly against her back and had one arm slung around her waist. Inuyasha's eyes suddenly opened. The slow lifting of his eyelashes revealed the molten gold of his eyes. Kagome gasped as she saw a smirk come to his face. "Good morning… Kagome," his voice breathed over her name against her neck, causing Kagome to shiver.

"Good morning," she sighed back. Then, she realized where she was and began to scramble off of the bed.

"No," groaned Inuyasha as he tightened his grip around her waist. Kagome swung her head around to glare at him, but her face softened at the look of him sleeping peacefully. She sighed slightly and allowed herself to drift away as well. A few minutes later, once the two were in dreamland, Sango knocked on Inuyasha's door. When he didn't answer, she slid it open and would've stepped through the threshold. However, she was stopped by the sight of a girl in his bed. Sango tiptoed forward and leaned over, looking at the girl.

"It's Kagome. Now leave," commanded Inuyasha. Sango jumped and looked at Inuyasha. He still had his eyes closed but Sango could tell he was awake by the rhythm of his breathing. She left a kimono for Kagome before leaving. Normally, she would've begun fighting with him, but she didn't want to wake the sleeping girl who currently adorned his bed. A small smirk came to her face when suspicion began to arise in Sango's mind.
