Chapter 8: Dealing with the Princes

Kagome chuckled to herself as she made her way to the inn where her and her friends were staying.
‘So the crown prince will ‘grace’ us with his presence and his face tomorrow? As soon as he quits his job…hmm wonder what he does?’(Joey the anonymous reviewer guessed it right a cookie (:::) for you!)
‘It is probably better that the group does not know what he does’ her mother chuckled nervously, the sound echoing through her head.
‘Why is that really important? What I’m worried about is Sango’s reaction to what he has to do…I never found out what he did…do you know?’
‘I have an idea child, but I will let him tell you in his own time’
‘Please, just a hint? Anything would work.’
‘Nay child you may not know by my lips’
Kagome could tell her mother wouldn’t tell her but it was worth a try. She sighed and pushed the door to the inn open almost jumping out of her skin when she saw Inuyasha jump off the ceiling rafters in front of her face with a scowl on his.
“And just where do you think you were going without telling me wench!” he snarled, trying to look as intimidating as possible
At this Kagome almost snapped. No one called her wench and got away with it.
“Just who do you think you are? Telling me what to do like this? You know from experience that I can perfectly well take care of myself! Who gives you the right to question me?”
He flushed a little at this, “I-I was—They were worried about you so they sent me!” he turned even darker at his little slip up, “Geeez what happened to thank you?” Kagome’s anger dissolved as she looked onto the furiously blushing hanyou. She sat down at a nearby table and called the bartender over.
Inuyasha was stunned, not only had she not blown up at him, she was getting a drink! It was like she didn’t even notice his slip up otherwise he was sure she would be rubbing it in his face. He was still confused when he sat down next to her.
“Ye be wantin’ anythin’ laddie?” a busty barmaid winked at him and he felt his face go at least ten shades darker.
“N-No thanks.” He turned to Kagome who was grinning wickedly.
“Come on laddie get a drink my treat.” She turned to the now miffed barmaid and responded for him, “Just a light ale then please, and a grapefruit for me.”
A decidedly paler Inuyasha snickered, “A grapefruit? Geez are you allergic to booze or somethin’?”
“Actually yes I am.”
That shut him up.
“As an elf my toxicity levels go way down so if I drink even cooked wine I can still feel some of the effects.”
That made him seem to shrink about 2 feet in ego. “Feh.” He was sulking again. He seemed to do that a lot when confronted with something he was proved wrong with.
‘Maybe he had a bad experience with it as a child…that is the common cause of most fears for a lot of people.’
‘Yea but then why is he so gruff…oh I see it is a mask isn’t it? He wont take it off until he knows he can completely open himself up to someone and I think from what the toad told us…the last person who he opened up to was that witch Kikyou.’
‘It is not my place to say but please don’t tell him that.’
As Kagome was talking to her mother Inu-boy was just sitting there staring at her waiting for her to blink, move or do…something.
He waved a hand in front of her face and then got an idea.

(I could just leave ya’ll here but I am not that evil and I haven’t upgraded in a while so I will make this a long chappie.)


He smirked and shifted around so she couldn’t see his hands if she woke up just then and started to chuckle evilly. After his deed was done he replaced the grapefruit and then waited patiently for her to come out of the trance she was in.
“What are you smirking at?” caught in his moment of triumph Inuyasha just grinned even wider and shook his head.
“A funny thought, that is all.”
‘And I am a flying monkey with a fez hat, right dog boy?’
‘ Think louder I don’t think he heard you…” came her mother’s sarcastic response.
‘Really now? I had never thought of that I thought he was telepathic!’
‘Don’t backsass your mother like that young lady! And you really think this demon is telepathic? He is so oblivious to the world around him when he is not in a fight it is hilarious!’
Kagome winced, of course her mother was right as always. She chuckled a little bit and then scooped a big spoonful of her grapefruit into her mouth.
Inuyasha almost died of laughter when he saw her eyes glaze over and her start to tremble. He had only put a drop of ale into her meal yet here she was acting as if she had drunk an entire barrel of the strongest ale in the country. He laughed that is until she got up and her hand started to glow and was pointed directly at him.
(I could just leave ya’ll here but I haven’t updated in FOREVER and you would all be after me with the pointyness of sporks)
Her voice echoed with someone else’s, “You dare pull this type of prank of her? She could have died! One drop more and she would have overdosed on the weakest ale in this house!”
“Who are you!? What have you done to Kagome?”
“What have What have I done to Kagome!? You fool, I am the spirit in the necklace she is wearing! I am her mother! If she is weak enough for me to be able to take over her body then, a housefly could kill her!” She hissed at him enraged, then she started to walk Kagome’s weak body to the stairs.
Back downstairs Inuyasha was shaking, terrified. ‘I could have killed her? But then I would never be able to see…ahh no! I cannot think of them right now, the important thing is Kagome. (See he has some brains!) She will kill me in the morning! Her mother-thing will tell her and then she will come after me! Hangover or no hangover.’
He shuddered and headed up to the room to watch his inebriated (Drunk it just makes me sound smarter to say inebriated lol I like that word:P) friend.


The next morning Kagome woke to a happy feeling like she had just done herself and the world a great service somehow. As she sat up in her bed ‘wait my bed? I don’t remember getting into me bed or even up the stairs after Inuyasha put…oh my goddess I am going to kill him!’
‘No don’t do that…he is only a pup where he comes from and they normally play pranks like this but I don’t think he knew you were that sensitive or that you wouldn’t have a hangover because of your elfin blood.’
A maniacal glint came into Kagome’s eyes, making all in the room with her shudder and Sango, who was sleeping in the bed on the other side of the room, sat up in bed shivering. She looked over slowly and when se saw Kagome sitting up in her bed she waved and said “Good morning, I got a feeling that something really evil was happening, but it is over now…did something happen?” Kilala mewled and stretched on her pillow as the girls looked over and giggled.
“No, Sango, I was just thinking of a way to get Inu-puppy back for getting me drunk last night-“ she was cut off as a fuming Sango leapt from her bead shouting “Inuyasha!” when he barged into the door he almost shrieked in fear at the two girls standing there on e with an evils smirk and on e with her hands clasped loosely in front of her, smiling sweetly.
“Oohhh Inuyasha! Guess what?” Kagome chirped.
He glanced at her and after deciding that now was a good time to slowly sneak out of the room he heard “SITSITSITSIT!!” and he was slammed down into the ground.
“Good morning ladies!” was heard out in the hallway, as Miroku walked in bearing a plate of fresh fruit and bread. He glanced down at Inuyasha’s crater and said “g'morning to you too baka.” All he got in response was a pained groan.
When the spell wore off, Kagome walked over to the hole and placed both her hands in the air above it. As she did an archaic sounding chant came out of nowhere it seemed and her hands began to glow, her brow was sweating, the floor began to grow back together. As everyone just gaped, Kagome swayed a bit. When the spell was finished, she almost collapsed to the floor. That is because someone raced into the room and caught her. She glanced up and guess who it was? A cloaked and hooded lust Sesshomaru. The emotion placed her on her feet and nodded to her.
Inuyasha was stricken speechless for once, and Miroku waved as Sango got her boomerang out. “Good morning to you Kagome. This Sesshomaru guesses that this is the troupe you will be escorting me with?”
Kagome still a bit tired from her spell just nodded. Sango had stiffened when she heard Sesshomaru at first but then she glanced over at the perfectly comfortable monk. When she saw him not on his guard she relaxed and stretched out her hand to the cloaked demon, “You assumed correctly I am Sango the demon slayer in training. (A/N: in this she is not quite a full slayer yet.) and you are Sesshomaru’s lust?”
He glanced at the hand proffered to him and snorted, “You assume much human, this Sesshomaru graces you with his presence, but I shall not touch any but the priestess for cleanliness.” He pulled down his hood and Sango’s rising temper suddenly cooled.
His long silver hair seemed to glow like the moon framing a slender fine boned face, his eyes were like glowing embers, golden and pure to look at. He had a navy crescent moon adorning his head, along with magenta stripes on his cheeks. His skin was pale and flawless, adding to his beauty. The cloud of lust hanging around him was not much help either. In fact Miroku was seen looking at a bug with a glazed look for a moment but that was just a rumor.
He chuckled and put his hood back up.

I am truly sorry for the length of this chappie I am needing to deal with that soon (I hope) luv u all! Ciao!
