Kagome followed the men all the way up to the castle's front door, where one of the men knocked on it harshly, making sure someone in there heard it.

It was Sango who answered the door.

She looked at Miroku "Oh god, when will this stop Miroku!" she watched as Kagome walked up. "Kagome? Where have you been! Inuyasha has been looking all over for you!"

"I came to explain what had happened to him, but it seems as though he's not here."

Sango motioned for her to come inside "No no sweetheart he's here, he's just sulking in the den." She looked at the men carrying Miroku " Put him in the small hut next to the garden. Thanks for all your help gentlemen." "Anytime ma'am" Said one as both men walked away and the doors closed.

Sango walked with Kagome for a bit. "What exactly happened Kagome? Did the prince try anything to far or something?"

Kagome sighed "You could say that."

Sango nodded as they reached the den where they found Inuyasha standing by the fireplace looking at a picture. "My prince, Kagome is here to speak with you?"

Inuyasha immediately put down the picture and looked their direction. "Kagome! Where were you, I was worried sick are you alright?" he yelled as he came up to her.

Kagome raised her hands as if to tell him to not come closer and spoke softly. "I came to explain what happened to Miroku."

Sango looked at both of them, knowing something was about to go down, so she silently left the room.

"Inuyasha, Miroku was completely drunk an-" Inuyasha interrupted her "Kagome, Miroku is always drunk, that's how he is. Im not worried about him."

"Oh. Then, I'll just go." She bowed slightly and headed back until a hand grabbed her arm.

"Please Kagome, I'm sorry, alright? When you left, I went looking after you, because those woods aren't safe at night. I was convinced that you left for good…"

"Please Inuyasha, this is getting so much harder for me to do, and there is so much more at stake than I thought. Please Inuyasha, you have to let this go. You… have to let me go." She tried pulling from him but he only held her arm tighter.

"Kagome, ever since you came into my life, everything about me has changed. For the better of course. And I can deal with you not telling me everything. I just, I want you to stay."

"I can't live a lie Inuyasha! I can't just pretend like everything is going to be fine when there is something that I have to do. You wouldn't be able to handle it. And I don't want to put you through anything risky." She pulled even harder, but instead he grabbed both arms to keep a better grip on her.

"Kagome, If you haven't already noticed, I am here for you no matter what. There is absolutely nothing you can do to make me change the way I feel."

"And how exactly do you feel about all of this? How can you possibly know what to feel if you don't know what it is?"

Inuyasha was staring intently into her eyes. "I don't. But what I do know, is that I have never grown so attached to someone in such a short amount of time. I feel as if I care more about you than anything in the world right now and I would fall apart if you left me now."

Kagome looked back at him with the same intense gaze "Inuyasha…"

Inuyasha bent down slowly pulling her arms closer. Kagome stood still as she closed her eyes slowly, trusting her instincts to understand what is about to happen. And right before their lips touched, Kagome's eyes grew wide and pushed him back away from her.

Kagome stood there frozen then her hands covered her mouth in a gasp.

"Kagome?"

Kagome shut her eyes tight, but they weren't tight enough to hold back the tears. "I can't stay!" She decided it was useless to hold back anymore.

"Inuyasha, this is not fair what you're doing to me! I have a responsibility and I can't be like this with you!"

Inuyasha looked at her and said loudly "Kagome, I don't really know what I'm doing wrong! I want to be there for you but you're not even giving me the chance!"

"I'm not asking you to be! I'm telling you to stay away!" She cried as she rushed towards the castle doors. But before she could reach them, she ran into Inuyasha's father, the king and two of his guards who were blocking the entrance.

Kagome stood still. "King Taisho?"

He walked up to her, examining her as if she were someone he hadn't met before. "Kagome, It has been a long time."

Inuyasha came running in soon after to find them standing there "Father, what's going here?"

He spoke like a king should, a lot different than they were at breakfast. "Son, this girl is the lost princess of the Hinashi Kingdom. This woman was meant to marry your brother!"
