Princess Kagome paced the room anxiously waiting. Her mother had told her to stay in her room until one of the servants got her. The look in her mothers eyes was something she'd never seen before, and she thought it was to do with lord naraku and that suspicious looking bundle on the floor next to him. That's was an hour ago. Now, she was pacing around the room, trying to pass time. She was failing miserably to stop the boredom. She was about to go insane of waiting, when there was a knock at the door.

`Thank you kami! Come in!' she said, straightening her dress. Naraku walked in casually, looking her up and down. She didn't like Naraku one bit. He gave her the creeps. He threw the large bundle from earlier on the floor and bowed.

`I've bought you a gift Kagome…' he said, grabbing her hand and kissing her knuckles. She tried not to be physically sick.

` That's princess Kagome to you, naraku,' she glared, annoyance in her voice', and I'll be VERY upset if it's a severed head' she said. He chuckled evilly and bowed again, turning for the door. He stopped before he opened it and looked at her.

` That severed head is a good idea, but I think this thing will suffice' and with that, he was gone. She glared at where he was at the door a little while longer, then looked at the bundle.

She gently sat down next to it and slowly lifted off the rough cloth. She gasped when she saw a boy, about her age, with white hair and dog-ears. He had various cuts over him, a few bruises, and was very VERY dirty. He was wearing a red kimono type thing, cut in a few places, and he was asleep. She couldn't help but stroke one of his ears, and jumped a bit when it flinched at her touch. She chuckled a bit and picked him up, putting his arm around her neck as she struggled to get him to the bed.

“ A gift? How could you give someone as a gift?? Oh yeah, that's right, he's Naraku. That weirdo…” she thought as she gently laid him on the bed. He was pretty cute, she had to admit, just lying there helpless, with those cute little dog-ears. She sighed and gently pushed some hair out of his eyes. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist, making her squeal a bit and jump in shock. He looked at her, eyes wide in shock.

`Wh…who? Whe…where am I…' he asked, looking around in fear.

` My name is princess Kagome, and you're in the Tokyo palace. What's your name?' she asked, going to stroke some more hair away, when he flinched and squeezed his eyes tightly shut. She stopped and looked sadly upon him.

` You poor thing. They must've treated you so badly. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Open your eyes' she said softly and soothingly. He slowly opened one eye, then the other.

`I'm not going to hurt you boy…'

`Inuyasha' he said. She looked at him puzzled.

`Y…You asked my name, my lady. My name's…Inuyasha' he said quietly. She practically beamed at this. She then slowly stroked the hair out of his face, their eyes locked together. At first he flinched slightly, then let her stroke his face. He's never felt this relaxed since his mother died a few years ago. When she stopped, he was kinda upset, but still looked at her.

`There. Perfect. I'll be right back, I need to clean your wounds…' she said, getting off the bed. She was about to enter a room, when she stopped mid-stride and turned to face him.

`…Or, do you want a bath? We can't have you walking around the castle smelling like a dead possum, can we?' she giggled. The possum comment made him smile slightly, and he looked at her fully. She had long raven hair tied in a plait, with a small crown on top. Her dress touched the floor, and was light blue with black rims. And her eyes, before he couldn't stop looking at them. They were ocean blue, with dark and light blue tints. She saw him staring at her and she got fidgety and uncomfortable.

` Is there something on my dress?' she asked, looking down at it.

` Wha…? NO! No. I just… am I allowed?' he asked, shyly looking at his hands. She smiled again and put her hands behind her back.

` No. But I can keep a secret if you can?' she asked, giggling slightly. He looked at her nervously, then smiled and nodded.

` Good! Because what type of friends would we be if we couldn't?!' she laughed again. The servants often joked that her pure, happy aura was contagious when she was around.

`Friends? Y…You're my friend?' he asked, shocked. He'd never had a friend before, because humans or youkai, just for being a hanyou, didn't accept him.

` Of course! Baka! Why wouldn't we be?' she smiled, coming to sit back down on the bed with him, but he moved back, startled by her and edging towards the wall. Her smile diminished and she slowly sat down, trying not to frighten him anymore.

`I told you, I'm not going to hurt you. Friends don't do that' she said, motioning for him to come closer with her hand. He obeyed and slowly sat back next to her.

`I've been wanting a friend for a long time now. Most of the kids here are just snobby!' she said, tucking some loose curls behind her ear. He smiled faintly, before realising the bruise on his cheek was starting to hurt. He hissed in pain, and she noticed.

`Come on. You need to get cleaned up, and then I'll see to your wounds' she said, concerned about her new friend, and took his hand to lead him to the bathroom. He stopped when she stopped, and she turned to look at him.

`Do you… erm… want to be my best friend?' she asked shyly, looking at the floor. He paused a moment and then slowly smiled at her.

`I'd like that… I guess it's ok that you're a girl…'. They laughed and she lead him to the bathroom.
