When Inuyasha got back to the castle, Sesshomaru walked up to him and started whispering loudly at him.
"Inuyasha! Do you realize how long you were gone?! Father was beginning to get worried! He was about ready to send troops out to go look for you!"
"Oh Sesshomaru, quit yelling at me!" Inuyasha whispered back. "Why didn't you tell Father that I was in my room and didn't feel like coming out?"
"I am not going to cover for you! What were you doing out there anyway?"
Inuyasha explained to him what had happened and told him about Kagome.
"Are you insane?! She is a commoner! Father would never allow it!" Sesshomaru whispered.
"But Sesshomaru… Kagome is… one of a kind… she's just… so amazing… and when she sings…" Inuyasha sighed.
Sesshomaru sighed shortly after. "Inuyasha… just be careful… you know that this cannot happen… you have to tell her the truth… you have to tell her that you are a prince of the Western Kingdom."
"But Sesshomaru…"
"No buts Inuyasha! If Father were to find out about this… man, he will be pissed."
"Why? He married a human!"
"It's not because of the fact that she is a human Inuyasha. It's because of the fact that she is a commoner! She is not of royal blood! Your mother was a princess of the Eastern Kingdom…"
"Feh, whatever." Inuyasha said as he walked away to him room and laid down. Little did he know, Miroku had followed him and heard the whole conversation.
"So... Your real name is Inuyasha? As in Prince Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha sat up quickly. "Miroku?!" he whispered loudly.
"Heh heh. I never would have guessed that the prince of the Western Kingdom would be so... sneaky..."
"What are you doing here?!"
"I was just curious about you... I knew you weren't from the village so I decided to follow you to find out where you were really from... But man, I never expected this!"
"Miroku, please! Do not tell anyone about this! I am asking you as a friend."
"Does Kagome know?"
"No..."
"Oh! So I wonder how she is going to react when you tell her this!"
"Miroku... Please... I do not want her knowing about this... If she does... then she will probably hate me... Sesshomaru is right... This could never be..."
"But why? You seem to be in love with Kagome and she seems to have fallen pretty hard for you too. I think that you two should continue..."
"I am a Prince... she is a commoner..."
"A forbidden love, eh?" Miroku questioned. "Sounds interesting..."
"No, it's not! I cannot let Kagome know who I am..."
"Inuyasha... if you do not tell Kagome, then how will she react if she does find out through someone else?"
"No one is going to tell her! The only ones who know about this are you, me and Sesshomaru!"
"But what if something happens? What if you have to break it off with her... Would you rather her find out then?"
"No..."
"You should tell her... It's the least you can do... I know Kagome pretty well... she doesn't really let her feelings show... but tonight, she showed them to you... that alone tells me that she trusts you... you shouldn't break that trust."
"Ok... I will tell her..."
"Good!"
Inuyasha smiled. "Now will you please go before someone sees you?"
"Are you kidding?! I'm always in here! I come here to bless the grounds to keep your servents feeling safe."
Inuyasha thought for a minute. "You are that leturous monk!"
"What?! N...no... you must... be... m...mistaken..."
"Don't play coy with me! I know that is who you are!"
"Alright... so maybe I hit on some of the girls here... but that don't mean that I am a horrible person..."
"Heh heh. Gee Miroku... and here you are telling me that I should come clean..."
"Yea yea yea, I'm leaving."
"Alright. Just don't take any of the girls with you on your way out."
"Heh..." Miroku responded as he left.
Once Miroku left, Inuyasha laid back down and went to sleep.
