The Swan Princess: Inuyasha Style

Chapter 4

Kagome walked into the salon of her and Sango's quarters in the Castle. When she walked in she saw Sango sitting on the couch with an angry expression on her face.

"What happened to you?" Kagome asked as she sat by her friend and gave her a hug.

"That stupid Lecher, we were sparring and then he asked me to the ball and then he gropes my ass and then I hit him and then he ran without an apology" Sango ranted as she buried her face in Kagome's should.

Kagome then stroked Sango's hair as she said, "its ok Sango. He's a stupid lecher like you said and you do not need him."

Sango looked at her best friend, "but I think I like him, 'Gome. And then father wants me to marry him."

"Well things will work out how they are meant to be, so don't worry." Kagome then looked at her friend and said, "The Prince and I are going to the ball together. He lost a bet so looks like I'll have to go." Kagome then started to tell how the bet had happen.

Sango started to laugh, "Wow I can just you two trying to kill one another during a waltz."

"Yeah, I can too." The two girls then fell down laughing.

They then soon went to bed. Little did they know that this summer would go very differently than the last few summers.

Two weeks later on the night of the Ball, Kagome and Sango were scrambling to find the finishing touches to their attire. Kagome was wearing a green summer ball gown made of fine silk. The skirt had no cage under it and the top covered up to the top of her chest and formed a small V-neck like collar and the sleeves were of a slightly darker green that extended to her elbow. Sango had on a similar dress but hers was a pale pink. Both of girls were wearing white silk gloves that had lace that was the color of their dresses extended from the wrist to the sleeves of their dresses.

As the two girls finished getting dressed and the hairdressers finished their hair, they started to look for jewelry to match their dresses. Sango found a gold necklace with a matching pendent that was in the shape of a cluster pink Sakura cherry blossoms made of rose quartz on it that and earrings that matched the necklace. Kagome had a little more trouble; she found a pair of silver dangling earrings but could find a necklace. She finally found a silver chain that had a locket on it. Kagome chose this necklace and both girls were finally ready and then left to find their escorts.

Miroku and Inuyasha had just finished dressing when they walked out of their rooms. Inuyasha was wearing a black suit with a red shirt. Miroku was wearing a black suit with a purple shirt. As they were walking to the spot where they were to meet the girls they saw them. They were both surprised to see them looking so beautiful and girlish; generally they were in riding or training clothes.

As the two groups approached each other they walked to their respective partners, Inuyasha and Kagome; Miroku and Sango, they had made up and decided to go together as neither had a date. The boys were polite and courteous as they walked to the carriages and rode to the place where the Ball was being held. As they walked into the Ballroom and were introduced they started to dance.

Sango was enjoying herself in the moments between having to move Miroku's hand from her butt. Miroku eventually started trying after the second dance and just looked at his beautiful partner, happy that their parents were considering having him marry her.

Kagome was to her surprise enjoying her time with Inuyasha. He was a good dancer and also to her surprise was light on his feet. Inuyasha equally surprised at the gracefulness of his partner. They danced two dances together, and then during the third dance a handsome young demon of about 16 tapped Inuyasha on the shoulder and asked if he may dance with Kagome. Inuyasha growling so quiet only him and the stranger could hear, grudgingly let the stranger dance with Kagome and went to find his father.

Kagome started to dance with the handsome stranger. He was about eight inches taller than her five foot four inches, dark hair pulled back into a ponytail, blue eyes, muscular build, pointed ears, and when he smiled; which he did a lot while they danced; revealed he had extra pointy canines. After about thirty seconds of dancing he spoke, "My name is Kouga; I'm one of the Demon Lords here in the Western Lands. You're Princess Kagome of the Eastern Lands, right?"

Kagome shocked that he was a Demon Lord at such a young age, replied, "Yes, I am. Which demon tribe of you Lord of?"

"The Wolves," Kouga answered.

"Wow that is pretty amazing. You can't be more than 16 or 17, and you are already a Demon Lord."

Kouga smiled a toothy grin and said, "Yeah well after Naruku's attack ten years ago most of the Wolves were killed and so when the last Demon Lord died I was next in line."

"Oh I see. That is still impressive though." Kagome said. Then after another dance she said, "I'm sorry Kouga, but I am in need of a drink and it appears I have lost my escort. So please excuse me and I'll try and find another time to dance with you."

Kouga was truly hurt by these words and thought 'She is choosing that Mutt over me. I'll surely change her mind and she'll be my bride one day.' As he said, "Sure your Highness, I would be honored. I'll be looking forward to dancing with you." They then parted ways.

Kagome walked over to the refreshment table and saw Sango and Miroku talking to Inuyasha. Kagome walked over and tapped Sango on the shoulder. Sango turned around and said, "Kagome where have you been?"

"I was dancing with the Demon Lord Kouga." She replied casually as she took a sip of her punch.

"Wow 'Gome I heard he is very good looking." Sango said.

"Yes he was, but there was something about him; I do not know, but it seemed like he wanted to kidnap me and lock me in a tower and not let me out." Kagome said with a soft giggle.

Sango laughing with her friend said, "Wow you sure got an imagination 'Gome."

They then continued to talk until they were ready to dance again. They danced until midnight when the final waltz was called. Traditionally the dance was between two people who had not gone to the Ball together and then they parted. So Kagome ended up dancing with Kouga and Inuyasha danced with a girl who looked similar to Kagome but had a darker look to her. The night then ended with Inuyasha walking Kagome back to her room, Sango had retired earlier on that evening.

As they were about to approach her room Kagome said, "Thanks Inuyasha, tonight was a lot of fun."

"You're welcome; I had a good time too." Inuyasha said. As they walked to the door he grabbed her hand and turned her to face her he looked into her eyes. 'Wow she is really pretty. I can't believe I never saw it before.'

Kagome looked at Inuyasha trying to figure out what Inuyasha was doing looked into his amber eyes and saw a slight shine coming off them. 'Wow I never noticed how beautiful his eyes are; they are normally full of anger and hat, but tonight he was a total gentleman and I could actually see myself marrying him someday.'

Inuyasha looked at Kagome and saw something shine off her chest. Lowering his eyes he saw a silver chain with a locket; he saw the carving of the ancient Shikon Jewel, which was a sacred object of power to demons and protection from the gods to priestesses, realized it as the locket he had given to her the day his father, Sesshomaru, and him had gone to visit the princess after she was born. Smiling to himself he put the princess's chin in between his fingers and tilted her face towards his, leaned down and then kissed her. He let his lips linger on hers for about five seconds and then slid his other hand down the right side of her face before he pulled his face away.

"…Kagome." His whispered as he breathed deeply to inhale her scent and looked at her.

Kagome looking at the boy who had gone from her enemy to a guy she could almost count as a friend. She then saw him in a new light. She could not believe that she was even thinking what she was thinking. Was she really falling in love with Inuyasha?

She then whispered back, "…Inuyasha… Why?"

Kagome then watched as his eyes grew big and he looked at her and said, "… please Do not hate me…" as he ran down the hall.

Kagome then slid to the stone ground and started to cry. She now knew she was in love with Inuyasha. How could she let this happen? He was supposed to be her enemy. Was he not?

She then stood up and walked into her room. She walked to her room and lied down and fell into a fitful asleep; ignoring the uncomfortable tightness of her dress, which she had fallen asleep in.

Inuyasha had walked down to the ended of the hall and turned to watch as Kagome slid down to the stone floor beneath her. Why did he feel like he wanted to hold her and comfort her? Why did he want to tear out his own heart for causing her to cry? He asked himself these and many other questions as he walked to his quarters and lied on the couch and remember his talk with his father while Kagome had danced with Kouga.

Flashback:

Inuyasha walked over the spot where his father was talking to the some of the demon lords and other elders from the human population of his lands. Inutaisho seeing his son walking over to him excused himself from the current discussion. As he motioned for Inuyasha to come to him he said, "I hope you are enjoying the festivities. I also saw you occupied the young Princess Kagome. Where is she?"

"She's dancing with that mangy wolf, Kouga." Inuyasha replied coldly. The name had left a sour taste in his mouth.

Inutaisho sensed the anger in his son's voice and smiled slightly as he said, "Ah I see. Yes that Kouga is a real interesting young man. He has just been appointed the Demon Lord of the Western Wolves and has already done more with the negotiations with the Lord of the Eastern Wolves to finally reunite the clans. I hope he will succeed for that will help strengthen not only their tribe but our military with young wolves that are ready to fight for the crown instead of against one another."

Inuyasha looked at his father and said, "Feh. He can't be that great if he can't just challenge the old man and get control that way?"

His father replied, "Because the 'old man' as you said has appointed his granddaughter, Lady Ayame, as his successor and in his old age he is unable the perform many task and if Kouga is to challenge him; he would end up challenging his granddaughter and she, in her own right is a skillful warrior."

"So that wimpy wolf is afraid to get his butt kicked by a girl?" Inuyasha said with a smirk on his face.

"No son, he isn't but I would not go on further in this discussion 'til I get the rest of the story but that is surly not the case." Inutaisho said as he was being called back to the council to further discuss the matter they were dealing with. "Son, I am sorry but I must return to the council and I think your partner for the night will being looking for you soon."

End Flashback.

Inuyasha smiled at the idea of Kouga being beat up by a girl and fell into a pleasant sleep.
