Yo! Ok o, I know I've been inactive for a while. I'm SO sorry. I've been pretty distracted lately and I just haven't been in the mood to write. Anyway, I forced myself into writing this chapter, and I'm going to try to get back on schedule. Adios!

The next morning, Kagome woke up to a pounding at her door. She was tired and cranky, and the insistent noise wasn't helping.

She threw her door opened and was met face to face with her sister, Sango.

"What!" She yelled.

"You're gonna be late for breakfast. Don't forget that you need to make that announcement today, unless you really did do something with that guy and you're trying to skip out on lying." She said with a smirk.

Kagome scowled at her sister and returned into her bedroom to get ready, her sister following behind her and making herself comfortable on her bed.

Once she was dressed, her sister and her walked down the stairs, towards the dining area where the breakfast would be held. Lagoons took in a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for a rather embarrassing announcement.

Sure, she had done nothing inappropriate with her friend, but just the fact that people thought she had made her mad. She wasn't some whore for God's sake!

Once she and her sister had made it to the dining area, Kagome scurried over to her assigned seat, ignoring the glares from her guests.

Once her mother made sure all guests were seated, she stood up and cleared her throat, implying that she required everyone's attention.

"I'm sure many of you are curious at to why my daughter, Kagome, did not attend dinner last night, as well as to why InuYasha, one of Kagome's suitors, was also not there."

Kagome shifted uncomfortably in her seat, feeling her cheeks burning pink at her mother's words.

"Many of you have conducted some creative theories as to where the two where at dinner time. I am here to put any and all rumors to rest. Kagome and InuYasha were NOT doing anything inappropriate or irresponsible. Anyone who even had this belief in the first place would be wise to keep their noses out of where they don't belong."

Kagome sighed in relief. Not only had her mother handled all the talking, she had also stood up for her.

Sure, some people might think she was a whore, but at least it was confirmed that she wasn't, whether or not other people chose to believe it was their problem.

After breakfast, Kagome decided to take a little walk in the garden. When she caught sight of a wisp of silver hair that she knew didn't belong to her brother, she giggled and ran over to its owner.

She chatted with her friend and they spent the rest of the day talking about her other suitors. They didn't dare stray from said topic, because they knew if they changed to less boring, they would loose track of time once again.
