'It's been a month since meeting the lords thank god Lord Naraku didn't seem to be eyeing me.'

the princess thought to suddenly there was a knock at the door."Mashiri it's open."Kagome said knowing who it door opened "How is it you always know who's at your door milady?" she asked this was nineteenth time was that the princess had got her visitor's name right."It's just a gift I have."Kagome said cheerfully."So did any of the lords catch your eye Princess?"Mashiri asked teasing her."Whatever gave you that idea Mashiri?"she asked her friend trying to hind the fact her face had turned bright red."You're blushing Milady let me guess Hiten of the east,Sesshomaru of the west,the wolf tribe's leader Koga or could it be Bankotsu of the band of seven." she said to her lady.

"Mashiri would you keep a secret?"Princess Kagome asked the most trusted friend she had in the castle. "Of course Kagome." Mashiri said hopefully. "Well I'm kind of hoping the Koga didn't realize that we met before.I sure he was the leader of wolves that attacked the village in lived before." the princess said sighing "You like him don't you?" her friend tried to hide her cherry red face just nodded just squealed and hugged her friend.

Later that day Kagome was called into her father's study."Kagome it's been a month since you met the lords.I just resived an invation to the castle of the lord of the east.I'm asking you if you will accompany me?" her father explained "I'd love to go Father!" she shouted hugging her father tightly. "Ok ok we'll leave in two days so go start packing dear."Ryuuaoi said to his daughter. "Yes Father." the girl said smiling as turned to leave. 'Maybe I should have told her the reason was Hiten want her to be by his so does Sesshomaru and Koga as well.' he thought to himself as he watched his sweet Kagome leave the room.

As the princess was returning to her room to pack her things for the trip she heard a voice behind her say "Excuse me Princess." Kagome turned to see who had called out to her it was Bankotsu and a person that looked like a monk."Oh, hello mister Bankotsu who this?"She greeted the two men."This man is Rinkotsu he's also one of the bank of seven." The monk looking man bowed as Bankotsu introduced him." It is nice to meet you mister Rinkotsu." she said still smiling from the news that she and her father were going to the eastern lands."Oh no the pleasures mine Princess."Rinkotsu pair of men were walking up to the group when one of the called out to Bankotsu."Oh Jakekotsu and Saikotsu as well get over here I want you to met Princess Kagome." He ordered the two men. When they got over to where the princess and the other two was hard to tell he was a guy with the way dressed and the other was easily more fearsome yet still very good looking. 'What polar opposes a girly guy and a lady killer.' Kagome thought to herself after the four men had left.

Bankotsu had been called to Ryuuaoi's study."You called Milord?"Bankotsu asked."Yes It concerns my daughter."he said."What about Lady Kagome?"the guard asked."Well Kagome and I are heading to the eastern lands and I'm worried Koga may try to take her away." He continued "Bankotsu I would like you to travel with us to protect her." "As you wish Lord Ryuuaoi."Bankotsu said bowing then turned to leave.'Oh great now the time to win over Kagome.' he reveled in the thought of making Kagome more in love with him or at lest love him the way he did her.
