CHAPTER TWO

I do not remember when I fell asleep, but it seems I did for I awoke to a loud noise. Could it be that he has returned? My question was answered instantly as someone began knocking at my door. I suspected it was Sango so I did not answer, knowing she would come in anyway…I was right.

"Your Highness?"

I looked up at her, still not saying a word.

"Dinner is served."

"I am not hungry," I stated.

"You have not eaten anything, Your Highness. Surely you must be starving."

"I will not repeat myself, Sango."

"But my Lord has been waiting patiently for you," she replied.

"Then tell your Master he will have to dine alone."

"But-"

I turned to stare at her coldly and she did not dare finish her sentence.

"As you wish, Your Highness," she bowed and gently closed the door.

As I sat on the disgusting bed, I heard a loud crash. My, that was fast. Piercing footsteps were marching towards my room followed by a banging at the door. It was Kouga. Things were getting interesting. Did he really think that his stupid threats would force me to dine with him? He was sadly mistaken.

He continued pounding on the door vigorously.

"Do you intend on breaking the door?" I daringly asked, smirking.

The pounding stopped and the door opened. The battle had begun and he was standing in my arena.

"It was always open," I said pretending to be interested in my fingers.

"Why are you not joining me for dinner?" he asked in a rough voice.

"I thought it was quite obvious," I remarked, turning to face him. I had to admit it…he was very good looking. His long, silky black hair brought out his gorgeous ocean blue eyes. Yet looks were not everything, at least not for me. It was usually the good looking ones who believed in "divine right". What a pity.

"I have been waiting for your arrival and-"

"You have been waiting for my arrival?" I interrupted. "If you had been waiting for me, it would have been you welcoming me into your home. Seeing that you were not even present during my arrival, you were not waiting patiently for me as you claim. Hence I do not need to join you to anything."

He raised an eyebrow and stared into my eyes. How sexy, unfortunately for him I was a woman with brains.

"You wish to stay in this room?" he asked.

"I wish for nothing. I am merely clearing up your false claims and stating my rights."

"Stating your rights?"

He was beginning to lose his temper. Perfect.

"Yes," I replied simply.

"You will not have those rights for long Kagome. Once you are mine you shall be tamed and you will learn your place whether you like it or not. You will be locked in this room until you decide to join me for dinner," he said slamming the door.

I heard him lock it and walk angrily down the hall. How pathetic. Locking me in a door is not going to quiet me down. It is only going to make me want to rebel even more.

I threw my head back on the pillow and began to think. Unfortunately, Kouga happened to be right. Once I was his, he would try to tame me. I could not let that happen. This only meant I had to escape. It was not going to be easy, after all he was royalty and his house would obviously be filled with security guards. Yet, it could be done.

I only packed what was necessary, which was not a lot. I knotted the bed sheets together and used them as rope, tying one end to the foot of the bed while throwing the other end out the window. Tamed my ass.

As I grabbed the sheet and began glding down, I heard the door of my room open.

"Kagome I wanted to apologize."

It sounded like Kouga.

Shit.

I picked up my pace and glided down ever so smoothly. That is, until I ran out of the rope I had created.

"Kagome?"

He walked towards the window following the sheets, and looked down at me. His eyes clashed with mine.

"KAGOME!!!" he screamed, while pulling the rope.

Now what? I was still pretty high off of the ground, but I could not possibly go back up there and marry that idiot. My mind was not thinking clearly at the moment and before I knew it, my trembling hands had already let go of the sheets.
