When they got to the Great hall, the sight of everything stunned Kagome. There were white and red drapes hanging from the ceiling and doors, and lilies and orchids (which were her favourite flowers) lining the walls.

She did a full 360 turn of the room, spinning around and around until she was in the middle of it, looking at the ceiling with closed eyes and smiling her head off.

Inuyasha was taken aback just as much as she was, and he couldn't stop looking around. That's when his eyes landed on Kagome.

She was smiling and twirling around in the centre, and he was just thinking about that kiss they had shared, before and idea struck him.

` Hey Kagome…' he said, walking over to her. She stopped turning and swayed slightly, trying to find her balance and looked at him, but it was more like turning her head every three seconds from dizziness.

` Do you … you know. Do you want to, maybe, dance … with, me?' he asked nervously.

There wasn't even anyone around and he was still nervous.

Damn he had serious issues.

She stared at him for a moment, before smiling and leaning her hand towards him. He smiled back and took it, a small idea about what to do next floating in his mind.

When they were little, and all the enormous and beautiful balls were held with the most elegant and rich lords and ladies of their time, they used to hide under tables away from everybody else and just watch the couple's dance, watching them act like there wasn't another care in the world.

He put one of his hands on her waist securely, and with the other held her hand. She laughed at his clumsiness the first few steps, and he blushed furiously as he tried to get it right, before she decided to help him out.

`Inuyasha, relax a little. And put your shoulders straight' she said, putting her hands on his shoulders to show her point.

He laughed nervously, and then tried again to get it right.

Awhile later and 63 slip ups, but with her helping him to get back on track, it seemed to go so, so … natural. It was as if they had danced together everyday this way.

She smiled up at him as they moved around the room, stumbling sometimes but just laughing and carrying on, before she rested her head on his chest, not noticing him tense up.

` Why can't we just stay like this forever?' she mumbled lazily, her eyes closed in complete and total relaxation.

` Because if we did, you'd miss the party' he joked, slowly getting used to the proximity between them, and he mentally argued with himself saying that they'd been even closer in her bedroom.

He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard her laugh, and looked down at her before she opened her eyes and looking back up at his face.

He looked at her admiringly again, his mind saying that he didn't deserve her, that it was forbidden, that it was the death penalty if anyone knew that you even THINK about royalty in that way, but he just couldn't help it. She was just so…so…

Perfect. Perfect was the understatement of the century. She was fantastic, beautiful, amazing, intriguing, funny, caring, selfless … perfect. Her little mood swings that she got only lasted a few hours, but he did it just to see her get mad, thinking that she looked even cuter than she already was when she was annoyed.

He finally realised that their lips were only inches away from each other, and if he wanted to, Inuyasha could've simply leant down and claimed them for his own. He saw the same sort of expression on Kagomes face as well as she stared at his lips in desire.

He closed his eyes lazily and were about to kiss her when the main door opened, making them both pull away quickly. Kagome brushed the invisible creases out of her dress and straighten her posture, before her mother walked in looking tired out before she saw her daughter and her personal guard.

` There you are! What do you think?' the queen asked, walking into the room with her arms wide open, smiling at her daughter.

` Oh mama! It's perfect! Thank you!' she said, running over to her mother and hugging her joyfully. The queen laughed heartily and wrapped her arms around Kagome, rocking her slightly until a glimpse of silver around her daughters' neck caught her eye.

She pulled away from her, still smiling, gasping as she touched the small heart pendant and running her finger over the red gem in the top right corner, not aware of Inuyashas or Kagomes horror.

` And who, may I ask, gave my daughter such a lovely necklace?' she asked playfully, but before she had chance to turn it over to see it's back, Kagome backed away slightly, fiddling with it nervously.

` Oh…err…this? Um… Hojo gave it to me!' she lied, everyone knowing full well that Hojo would give Kagome anything she wanted, and she cast a slight nervous glance at Inuyasha who had unconsciously clenched his fists in anger.

Although he knew that it was for his own good, it being against the rules for a servant or those below the rich to give gifts to royalty, but he just couldn't help feel kind of… well… jealous.

` Oh that's nice of him! Kagome,' Sakura said, her tone dropping to a more serious one `, I need to talk to you about…'
