A/N:I just updated a buttload of chapters for mine and my friend's story Hoping For a New Life, I hope you guys will check that out and tell us what you think. Let's see how far I can get with this story tonight shall we? Keep in mind that I'm half asleep right now and that's usually never a good thing. Well, enjoy. R&R.


-KAGOME'S P.O.V-

I stared at the blonde haired boy infront of me.

'If I remember correctly his name is Honey.'

"I-I'm not dressed properly for a ball."

I said with a small blush.

"That's alright princess, we can get you something to wear."

He said before bringing his hand up to his mouth and whistling. Suddenly the two twins showed up beside him. Hikaru smiled at me, but Kaoru glared.

"What do you..."

Kaoru started.

"Need us to do Honey?"

Hikaru finished.

"This princess needs a dress, help her will you?"

Honey said and I looked at him like he was crazy and started backing away.

"Umm, you know what I just remembered that I have this thing bac-"

"Oh no you don't."

Hikaru said as he grabbed my arm. I tried to get away, but his grip wouldn't loosen. Kaoru grabbed onto my other arm and they both led me into the room. They led me to the dressing room and threw me a dress.

"Try it on yourself..."

Kaoru said.

"Or we'll help you put it on."

Hikaru said with a smile and I shuddered. Once they left I shut the screen and quickly stripped out of my clothes. I folded them up and set them on the shelf to get later. I pulled on the dress and looked at myself in the mirror. The midnight blue dress wasn't all that bad. It made my eyes and hair stand out, but not in a bad way. I took a deep breath before stepping outside. Both the twins and Honey stared at me with their mouths hanging open.

"Look, if it doesn't look good I'll be all too happy to change back and-"

"NO! It looks fine."

Honey said regaining his composure.

"It looks more than fine..."

Kaoru said.

"It looks beautiful."

Hikaru finished. Normally I'd blush, but considering what feeling flattered and my feelings for the opposite sex got me last time I just gave them a blank stare.

Honey bowed to me and held up his hand.

"Now, princess would you care to dance?"

He asked and I almost smiled.

'Out of all these guys I guess Honey isn't so bad.'

I thought as I placed my hand in his. He led me out onto the dancefloor and twirled me around to the song. It was kind of akward considering I was a couple feet taller than him. But for once I didn't shy away from a guy's touch. Maybe because I thought Honey was too sweet to do anything. He kinda reminded me of Shippo.

"How old are you princess?"

He asked as he twirled me again and I sighed.

"Eighteen. You?"

I asked as we swayed to the music.

"I'm seventeen."

He said and my eyes widened.

"S-Seventeen? You don't look older than ten or eleven."

I said and he smiled.

"Yeah, I get that alot. I'm just short for my age."

He said and I just nodded as we continued to dance.

The song ended and he bowed to me and I bowed back. Then he disappeared into the crowd and I sighed as I leaned against the wall watching as the others danced. I closed my eyes and tried to understand why I allowed Honey to drag me into the room.

'Why didn't I just walk away?'

"Hey Kaoru..."

A voice said to my left and I dug my nails into the palm of my hand.

"Yeah Hikaru?"

Another voice said and I felt my nails cut into my skin as the voices drew closer.

"Why do you think this princess is all by herself?"

"I don't know. Why don't we ask her?"

I opened my eyes to see both twins on either side of me, smiling. I shuddered and went to take a step back, but stopped when I remembered I was already against the wall.

'Damn I'm such an idiot. I already backed myself into a corner.'

"Princess..."

Kaoru said.

"Why are you by yourself?"

Hikaru finished and I glared at the twins. I didn't want to be anywhere near boys right now. Honey is okay, he makes me feel safe, but that doesn't mean I trust his friends.

"Because I want to be."

I said and pushed past them hoping to be able to get away, but they both grabbed my arms and stopped me. My body siezed up and I freaked. I turned on both of them and without thinking smacked them across the face.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!"

I yelled and I felt my eyes stinging with unshed tears. I closed my eyes and headed for the door only to be stopped by Honey.

"Princess Kagome, what's wro-"

"I can't do this. Please, just leave me alone."

I said as I tried to push past him, but a tall guy with short cropped black hair came up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder. I shrank back and tried to get past Honey to the door. We had drawn the attention of the other boys from earlier and they were crowding around me. My body siezed up and I couldn't move. I placed both hands over my ears, brought my knees up to my chest and tried to think of anything but what happened to me. Of anyone but Inuyasha. The tears poured down my face as the memories flashed through my mind. I was helpless to stop them.


-HIKARU'S P.O.V-

As I looked down at the black haired, blue eyed girl from earlier as the tears fell down her face I instantly felt bad. Like I was somehow responsible for those tears. Honey looked at all of us like he was going to kill us before turning to the girl and crouching infront of her.

"Princess..."

He said in a soft voice but got no response.

"Princess..."

He tried again, but still got no answer.

"Kagome."

He said and the girl shied away.

'So her name's Kagome? It fits her perfectly, but what happened to her to make her break down like this?'

"Tamaki, Haruhi, Kaoru, entertain our guests. Takashi, Kyoya, Hikaru help me here."

Honey said and everyone did as he said. He only ever used Tamaki's name when he was being serious. Mori tried to pick the girl up, but she whined and Honey made him back off.

"Kagome, it's okay. I promise nothing is going to happen to you."

Honey said and Mori tried to pick her up again, but still the girl, Kagome, whined as if she'd been hit.

"Honey, maybe you should carry her. It seems like she trusts you."

I said but he shook his head.

"I can't. I need to do some...research."

He said and turned to look at me.

"Hikaru, you try to pick her up."

"What! You saw how she reacted to Mori, what makes you think she'll let me-"

I stopped midsentence at the look he gave me and sighed.

"I'll try."

I said before crouching infront of her.

"Kagome."

I said in a softer voice than Honey's and felt everyone turn to look at me surprised.

'I can be nice when I want to.'

I thought to myself before turning my attention back to Kagome.

"Kagome, I'm going to pick you up okay?"

I said but didn't get any response. I sighed and tried to pick her up. She didn't say anything, but the tears continuously streamed down her face. I carried her bridal style through the door and down the hall following after Honey. He opened the door to a deserted room and pointed to a bed. I nodded and set her down. I turned to look at Honey confused.

"Now what?"

I asked as he turned to leave.

"Try to get her to calm down."

He said before closing the door after him. I sighed and sat down across the bed from Kagome who was laying on the bed, still crying with her knees pulled up to her chest.

'Right. How am I supposed to do that when I don't even know the reason she's crying?'


A/N: Sorry it's short, but I ran out of ideas. At least I updated. Please review.
