Chapter 7
"In love?" Inuyasha exclaimed, falling down onto a chair. "Don't you think that is a bit dramatized?"
"Not at all. It's much more then an infatuation. Meaning it must be love." Miroku explained simply.
"But I just met her. I can't be in love. It isn't possible." Inuyasha said stubbornly.
"Whatever you say Inuyasha." Miroku sighed 'He will find out when he's ready I guess.' He thought.
'I've just met her. I haven't met the real her, just the polite reasonable side of her. I'll just wait until I see the other side of her. Stupid Miroku, jumping to stupid conclusions. I should knock him out right now.' Inuyasha thought, picturing himself beating Miroku to a pump put a dastardly grin on his face.
"Inuyasha! What would Kagome think of that smile of yours? What are you thinking? Probably about your wedding night." Miroku added the last part softly, but Inuyasha being a half demon, heard the perverted comment.
"You sick monk!" he yelled, making his daydream become reality. That is, until Sesshoumaru walked into the room and made him stop.
"Why are you beating Miroku?" He asked, sounding bored.
"Why did you make me stop!" Inuyasha demanded. Both brothers glared at each other. But the tension in the room made it obvious that the glares that nothing to do with the argument at hand. It had everything to do with…
"Kagome!" Sango called into Kagome's room that afternoon hoping to find her before Kagome went to explore the castle.
"Sango! I'm in the closet." Kagome called back. "I can't find any of my clothes!" She yelled in frustration.
"What do you mean?" Sango asked as she walked into the closet, where she saw Kagome in an emerald green dress that was cut very low. It showed more cleavage then either girl knew was possible. "Oh…My…GOSH! Kagome where are you dresses!" Sango cried.
"I don't know but I don't have anything! I think they packed Kikyo's clothes instead of mine!" Kagome cried falling to the floor desperately. "Sango, could you go to town and find me a decent dress? Please?" Kagome begged.
"I guess I should." Sango agreed.
"Thank you so much!" Kagome cheered.
"No problem," Sango waved off the gratitude. "I'll go find you a fabulous dress!"
About 20 minutes after Sango had left, someone knocked on Kagome's door.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"Inuyasha." Was the visitor's reply.
"You can come in, but it's at your own risk." Kagome called back, through the door.
'What could she mean by that?" He thought. When he entered the room, his mouth fell open and his eyes opened wide.
"Close your mouth or you'll attract flies." Kagome growled.
"When did you get that dress?" He asked.
"It's my sisters. The servants packed the wrong clothes." She explained grumpily.
Inuyasha nodded in understanding.
"Kikyo must be having a fit." Kagome thought out loud. "I have her clothes, so that means that she has mine, and she hated my clothes as much as I hate hers." She sighed. "I hope Sango gets back with my new dress soon."
"New dress?" Inuyasha asked. He didn't mind the dress Kagome was wearing at the moment. It hugged her curves in the right places.
"Yeah." Kagome said as if it were the most obvious thing ever. "It's not like I'm going to stay in this whorish dress! It makes me look too much like Kikyo!" She shuddered at the thought.
"Is she really that bad?" Inuyasha asked, he had never met anyone that bad yet…other then Sesshoumaru, and he had heard about that Naraku guy from Sango. But other then that he wasn't sure if they existed.
"Of course she is! If she weren't royalty I would call her a prostitute! She has been having 'fun' since she turned 13! I don't want to be related to her! I don't even want to know her! Not to mention she takes everything that I want. She goes out of her way to make my life miserable." Kagome vented her angry, pacing back and forth across the floor.
"Wow, you should never hold your anger in... Ever. It could be dangerous if the person you were angry at were there when you blew." Inuyasha joked, succeeding in getting a glare.
"Normally I practice archery and that lets me vent my angry. But I haven't gotten to yet." She confessed, feeling guilty for glaring at Inuyasha when she was just joking around.
"Lets go now." Inuyasha suggested. "I'd love to see how your aim is."
Kagome gave him a skeptical look. "You don't expect me to go out like this do you?" She asked, pointing to the dress.
"Screw the dress. Just pretend you're wearing a different one." He said.
"Ummm, I guess I could try that." Kagome said walking to the door. She got her hand on the doorknob when she suddenly remembered a possibility. "Wait! What if they brought my practice dress?" She cried hopefully, running to her closet she opened her trunk and threw some of the dresses around until she cried, "YES!"
"I'm guessing they brought it…whatever it is?" Inuyasha guessed.
"Yep, the did!" Kagome stepped out of the closet in a deep red dress that had a long slit on the left side exposing her leg up to the middle of her thigh, and it had a decent sized v-shaped neckline.
"Well, that one is much better then the other one." Inuyasha said, "Have I ever told you that red is my favorite colour?"
"I don't believe you have." She answered, now in a slightly better mood.
"Well, lets go." Inuyasha offered his arm to Kagome, who accepted, before he led her to the archery field.
"Here." He gave her a bow and some arrows. "Lets see what you've got." He challenged.
"I haven't practiced in so long though." She wined.
"Well, you'll practice now then." Inuyasha said, watching her prepare to shoot.
She had perfect form. There was nothing to correct her on. When she let go of the arrow, it flew quickly and a pink light surrounded it until it hit the target and the light seemed to smash like glass. It even hit dead center.
"Are you sure you haven't practiced?" Inuyasha gaped at the arrow in the target.
"Not for a few months. Why?" Kagome asked.
"That was perfect! There was even priestess energy going with it! I'm impressed." He said.
"Oh!" Kagome gasped with wide eyes, 'No one has ever complimented me on archery before!' She thought, "Thanks." She added.
"Feh." He shrugged. Watching intently while Kagome shot another arrow, splitting the first arrow right down the middle. "So…" he said trying to start some conversation.
"Yeah?" She answered, shooting another arrow.
"Why is it that I have heard more about Kikyo, and I'm sure I know more about her then I do you? But you, are standing right in front of me." He tried.
"Kikyo is more out there. She wants to be spoken of even if it's badly. I prefer not to be spoken of, nor do I completely enjoy talking about myself. It makes me feel conceited." Kagome answered, shooting an arrow at the farther target and hitting it dead center also.
"I see." Inuyasha decided to continue. "I've been told that you two are almost identical looking…other then the way you dress." He quickly added, seeing her head snap up.
"Well we are twins." Kagome said, as thought it was painful to say, but she was trying to hide the pain.
"What are the differences?" Inuyasha asked her.
"Well, Kikyo has longer and straighter hair then me. Her eyes are brown while mine are blue (sorry chiclet180 ). The way we dress, her mouth is smaller then mine. She is much quieter. She's taller then I am and her voice is deeper then mine, I guess it could be called more mature." Kagome listed off the differences. "Oh right, she has this evil look in her eye all the time…but that might just be when she's talking to me."
"Wow, There goes almost every..."
"Oh!" Kagome said, interrupting Inuyasha accidentally. "She is a bit…wider then me in…certain area's." She giggled, shaking her butt a little to get Inuyasha to understand what she meant without having to say it.
He burst out laughing. "I never would have even thought of someone doing that! You are definitely one of a kind Kagome." He said, still laughing a bit.
"Thanks" Kagome said with a proud grin on her face.
"What about personality wise?" Inuyasha asked, his chuckling seemed to have stopped for the moment.
"Well, Kikyo loves attention. Mostly lust or love from men, and jealousy from the women. She likes to be in charge too. If something is going on, Kikyo is going to take charge of it, most likely run it to the ground but she tries anyways." Kagome sighed. She went to go and collect the arrows now lodged into the different targets, but Inuyasha stopped her.
"We have special servants to do that you know." He said as he started walking away.
"Oh," Kagome began to follow. When she caught up with Inuyasha, the two walked in a comfortable silence for a bit.
"I wonder who I am supposed to marry." You, or your brother." Kagome thought out loud.
"I was just thinking about that too." Inuyasha admitted. "I wonder why you were sent without anyone having any clue of who you're supposed to marry. Isn't your father or anyone worried?" he asked.
Kagome snorted. "The only reason either would say that they were nervous for me would be for more attention or to make themselves look better to the public."
Inuyasha was silent for a while." I have an idea!" he cried, grabbing Kagome's hand and pulling her into the castle.
