Chapter 2:
Thinking of you….

That night at Kagome's residence, she and her family were having dinner. Their dining table was long and enormous, roughly about 10 feet. It was only for Kagome and her parents. The servants were usually granted permission to eat with the royal family at the table if they got their household tasks done early.

There was chicken as the main course placed on the table with mash potatoes, peas and salad on the side. To drink they either had some red wine or pure spring water. Kagome, on the other hand, was barely even touching her food. She was just slightly stirring it around with her silver fork. She simply kept at poking it; she couldn't get her mind off Inuyasha. Her father stared at her intensively, trying to figure out what was wrong with his daughter.

"Why aren't you eating, dear?" The King queried with one of eyebrow raised.

"Oh, I-I'm not hungry." Kagome replied reluctantly.

"Are you sick?" The Queen asked worriedly, "Or is it just that time of month?" Kagome's pale cheeks turned a light hue of pink from the embarrassment as she stood up from her cushioned chair.

"May I be excused?" She inquired mannerly. Her mother and father nodded at her and Kagome went up the stairs swiftly towards the privacy of her chambers. Then she slammed the door closed so roughly that the sound vibrated the surroundings of her door.

"What's wrong with her?" Her father questioned, suspicion growing noticeable in his raspy voice.

"I think it's her time of the month, sweetie." Kagome's mother answered. A few second later, the King shook his head in agreement.

"I think it's something else, hon."

Kagome was in her room. She was lying down on her back on her queen sized green bed. She was still thinking of that humble boy. Wondering how she could see him again. Then she thought of a bright idea. She would pack a picnic basket tomorrow and bring it to Inuyasha. Then he could have lunch with her and his mother too if she didn't mind. She smiled just thinking about it. She felt good to help someone out and to have a true friend who liked her for she was—not because she was wealthy or a princess.
Now it was getting late and Kagome changed into her sleeping garments. She wore a light blue gown that ended at her knees. She then slipped into bed and closed her eyes eagerly. Thinking about tomorrow and how great it's going to be—also, praying her father doesn't have any plans for her that same day.

In the morning, Kagome looked at the bright light that shined from the creaks of her window's curtains. She got up and stretched. Putting on her cute bunny slippers, she headed down stairs.

"Good morning, father. Good morning, mother." Kagome welcomed and offered them both a kiss on the cheek. The King and Queen both passed each other a look of confusion.

"Why are you so happy today?" Her father interrogated curtly.

"Oh, no reason!" Kagome chirped. She had her picnic basket ready for today. "Well, I'm going to have myself my own picnic. I'll be back before dinner, don't worry. I promise." And she walked out the door. She skipped her way to the meadow. Her father gazed at her through the window, anger leaking from his brown eyes. He demanded to know what was going on.

"Let her be." Her mother coaxed, earning a cold glare from her husband. The Queen recoiled slightly in genuine fear.

"Never." He snapped. "I must know what she is up to." He summoned one of his guards and ordered him to go spy on his daughter and made sure he reports back in full detail.

As for Kagome, she had just arrived to the door. Hauling her hand up, and began to knock on the wooden door with gentleness.

"I'll get it." Inuyasha's mother called out. She opened door. She grinned, aware that this is the girl her son is in love with. "I'll call Inuyasha for you."

"Thank you." Kagome smiled, expressing gratitude.

"Honey, the princess is here!" His mother exclaimed. Inuyasha rushed to the door. His mother was not lying. He smiled at her as she returned the gesture with enthusiasm.

"He-hello" Inuyasha greeted bashfully.

"Hello, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a picnic with me? Your mother can come along too if she like."
Inuyasha stared at his mother. She nodded with approval, allowing him to go with her.

"Go ahead." Inuyasha's mother assured. "I'll be fine; I still have the apples from yesterday."

"Alright then, let's go." Kagome urged while tugging on Inuyasha's arm. He blushed lightly at her sudden movements. There were strolling to find the perfect spot till they found a nice patch of grass to sit on. Kagome spread out the silky blue checkered blanket and they both sat down. Kagome put the picnic basket in between them.

"You hungry?" Kagome inquired gently. Inuyasha nodded his head quickly like a little five year old. Kagome had to giggle at that, the sight was just too adorable.

"Ok let's eat; I got sandwiches, cookies and orange juice. I know you'll love it."

"Well, I can't wait to eat. I'm starving!" Inuyasha growled, snatching the sandwich Kagome was about to eat. It was so nice that they were alone.
But they weren't alone.
The soldier, the King had sent, was hiding in the bushes. Examining everything from beginning to end with keenness. The princess will be in so much trouble. Who knows what her father will do
