Chapter 2: Meeting the prince

"Kagome, I want you to mop the floor, now!" The orphan teacher commanded pointing at the floor. "Yes." Kagome responded already scrubbing the floor. Kikyou steped right in front of Kagome and said, "Scrub that floor real good, Cinderella." Kagome stood up from the floor and said, "You know what Kikyou? Why don't you just mind your own business and walk away, I'm getting really tired of you!"

"Fine, I'll go." Kikyou was just about to leave when Kikyou bumped the bucket full of water to the floor. "Opps, sorry!"

"Why you!" Kagome charged at Kikyou until the orphan teacher got between Kagome and Kikyou. "Kagome, what are you doing!"

"She was charging at me when I didn't even do anything, teacher, please make her stop!" Kikyou said with puppy eyes. "Kagome, you do NOT charge at people!" The orphan teacher said really mad. "You could really hurt Kikyou!"

"I want to hurt Kikyou, she's the one who's been bothering me while I was doing my work!" Kagome yelled. "Kagome, how could you say that?" The orphan teacher yelled. "That's it! You need a time out! Go to the shed and spend the night there!" The orphan teacher commanded. "B-b-but, it's real cold outside," Kagome whined. "Please don't make me spend the night in there!" Kagome begged with pleading eyes but the orphan teacher did not approve. "No, I'm sorry Kagome," The orphan teacher said. "Next time, think about your actions…" The orphan teacher left. "Yeah, think about your actions!" Kikyou said as she left the room. Kagome glared at Kikyou and stick a tongue at her as she left. Kagome began to scrub the floor again. 'I hate this," Kagome thought inside of her head. "This is so unfair, I HATE KIKYOU!'

After Kagome was finished with scrubbing, she went straight to her room and got her stuff and headed to the shed. Once she got in, she placed her stuff on the floor. She wrapped a blanket around her and lie down on the floor and cried. She cried silently to herself, she didn't want people to think that she was a cry baby. Then all of a sudden, the shed door open. The person who opened the shed door asked, "Are you alright?" Kagome stood up quickly and wiped away her tears and nodded. The person offered a hand and she took it. The person's hand felt so warm. Once she got out of the shed, she saw Prince Inuyasha! "What are you doing in such a cold place like this?" Prince Inuyasha asked. 'Wow…the prince has very pretty eyes…I've never been this close to a prince before.' Kagome thought blushing. "U-uh, hello?" Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and responded, "Oh, uh, well, I was…uh…punished for charging at one of my orphan mates…" Inuyasha nodded as if he understood Kagome. "Well, that's a bad punishment, a pretty girl like you shouldn't be in cold shed like this," Kagome blushed when he said that. 'Did…did he just called me…pretty… no one told me that I was pretty before…' Kagome thought. "Come on, let's get you warmed up." Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and led her to his room. Once they got into Inuyasha's room, it was so warm. Kagome sighed, she loved the warmth of the room. "Warm huh?" Inuyasha took Kagome's hand and led her in front of the fire place. "Get a little warm, okay? I'll get some hot tea for you." Inuyasha left the room and left Kagome alone in the warm room. Kagome sighed. 'Wow…a prince let me in his warm room…he's so sweet… and he called me pretty!' Kagome blushed. "Oh Kagome, stop blushing," Kagome said to herself. "There is no way in the word he would fall in love with a person…like me…" Inuyasha came in the room suddenly with two cups of tea.

"Here," Inuyasha said as he was handing tea to Kagome. "This will help keep you warm." Inuyasha sat next to Kagome. "Um…hey…" Inuyasha turned his full attention to Kagome as she was about to speak. "I'm…I'm not trying to be rude but…why did you let me in your room, I mean…Princes are not allowed to do that…right?" Inuyasha chuckled a little and responded, "Well, I'm not those spoiled princes you see…I'm something different…" With that, Inuyasha returned a smile, a smile that could make Kagome heart melt. Kagome blushed and looked down at the floor. Inuyasha laughed a little and looked back at the fire place. Kagome smiled at Inuyasha. 'He's really a nice prince…he's so sweet…' Kagome thought as she looked at Inuyasha. Then all of a sudden, a servant came in the room and yelled, "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! GET OUT!" Kagome got up quickly and she was about to leave until Inuyasha stopped Kagome and said, " It's okay Myoga, she's with me." Myoga nodded and said, "Oh, sorry your highness, it will never happen again." Then he left the room. "Sorry about that." Inuyasha apologized. Kagome smiled and said, "Oh, it's alright." Inuyasha returned a smile. Soon, Inuyasha and Kagome started talking and talking and eventually laughing. They really enjoyed each other's company… that was until Kagome's orphan teacher came in Inuyasha's room and yelled, "Kagome, what are you doing here!" The orphan teacher snatched Kagome's arm and said, "I'm so sorry, this will not happen again. I'll make sure she'll have a punishment"

"No, don't punish her, it was my fault. I brought her in here because she was cold in the shed." Inuyasha explained. "Oh, don't cover for her I know she's a trouble maker," The orphan teacher gripped on Kagome's arm tighter. "We'll be on our way, I'm so sorry, your highness." The orphan teacher left with Kagome still in her grip. "Go to your room!" The orphan teacher said pointing to her room. Kagome nodded and did as she was told.

After Kagome went to her room, she went to bed and feel asleep.

In Kagome's dreams…

"Huh? W-where am I?" Kagome looked around and once again saw the man that was in her dreams before. "Hey, mister!" The man turned around and smiled at Kagome. "It's good to see you again…" The man said with a warm smile. "Now can you tell me who are you." Kagome asked. The man knelt down to Kagome's height and rubbed her hair again. "Remember what I told you," The man said softly. "You need to wait and see in the future…"

"W-well, can you at least give me a hint?" Kagome asked. The man chuckled a bit and said, "Alright," The man paused for a moment but continued, "You will be my heart and my love." The man smiled and stood up and walked away. "Wait! Does that mean we'll meet in the future?" Kagome asked. The man turned around and smiled and nodded. Finally, Kagome's questions have been answered! "Can you tell me who you are." Kagome said with pleading eyes. The man sighed and smiled and said, "I am-."

End of Kagome's dreams…

Kagome woke up hearing her alarm clock. "Shoot! I was this close to knowing who was he!" Kagome looked down at the floor, she was sad. Kagome sighed and said, "Oh well…" Kagome got out of bed and said, "That is just a dream anyways, no way dreams are real…" Kagome looked out of her window and thought, 'I wonder how the prince's doing…' Kagome walked out of her room went outside, once she got outside, she saw Inuyasha. "Hello," greeted Inuyasha as he was smiling at Kagome. Kagome blushed and responded, "Hello…" Inuyasha chuckled a little. "So…uh…how are you?" Kagome asked. "Fine, thank you."

"Uh, well, do you want anything for breakfast?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha just smiled and asked, "Why don't you just take a little break?" Inuyasha took a hold of her hand. "Why don't you spent a whole day with me?"

"Uh…" Kagome didn't know what to say, instead she answered, "Sure!" Inuyasha and Kagome smiled at each other. Through the window watched Kikyou…mad Kikyou. She laughed to herself and said, "There is no way she is going to steal my chance to be the future princess…" Once again Kikyou laughed at herself. "I will be the future princess…Kagome, you better watch it."
