"Inuyasha?"

"What?"

"I'm really nervous, can I do you another favour instead?" Kagome's voice was trembling. Inuyasha know she was speaking the truth.

"Keh. You can't back off now, wench." Inuyasha held out his elbow. Kagome stared at it, wondering what to do. "You're suppose to link with him, girl!" Blinking, Kagome hooked her hand around his elbow. Inuyasha grinned and proceeded into the ballroom.

Kagome thought about what Inuyasha said. "Wench?" Kagome wondered. The word seemed famillar. "Ahh, silly me. Thousands of people say it everyday." But why did she think it was a rather a show of affection rather than insult? Grimacing as her bruised ankle brushed against the buckle of her heels, Kagome pasted a smile on her face and walked faster.

"Ahhh! Mr. Taisho!" An old man greeted. His head was bald, with only some hair left at the corners. Beside him was a young lady probably in her mid-twenties dressed in a cheong-sam with make-up and perfume so thick that it was choking Kagome. Forcing a smile, Kagome tip-toed to tell Inuyasha she had to go to the toilet. Without waiting for his consent, she rushed off for some fresh air. "Phew, that woman sure stinks eh?" Heading straight for the drinks counter, Kagome asked for a cup of Sprite. Drowning it in one glup, Kagome felt herself feeling better. Walking back to the table, Kagome was not surprised to see Inuyasha reserved a place for her. Smiling to herself as she hurried forward, Inuyasha spotted her and stood up to pull the chair out.

"Nice choice, Mr Taisho." The old man commented, eyeing Kagome shamelessly.

Growling as Inuyasha's arms tightened around the backrest of her chair, Inuyasha forced a smile. Kagome kicked him under the table. Inuyasha shot her a warning look.

"I see you've tamed her well." The woman, raising a heavily penciled eyebrow, drank from her glass though her eyes didn't leave Kagome's body.

"Regarding the contract, Yosuke-san, if you buy all of the twenty cars, we may allow you." Inuyasha said, scratching his chin as he delibratly changed the subject.

"Oh yes! Sure sure, I'll buy." Yosuke-san replied while eyeing Kagome. "Would you mind if I asked you fiancee to lunch some other day?"

"Oh- Kagome began then winced as it was Inuyasha's turn to step on her foot. Kagome shot him a piercing glare that was frightening enough to imititade the gods.

"I'm sorry but I'm afraid I can't say yes to this. Please leave my fiancee out of the business. I don't wish to discuss personal matters." Inuyasha's already tight lip became pale as he bit his lip to refrain himself from ripping the man to pieces.The music began and Inuyasha relaxed abit. Holding out his hand towards Kagome, Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. Kagome gave him a gentle shake of his head meaning to say that she rejects. Inuyasha gestured his hand over to the other dancers and Kagome frowned. "I don't know how to dance."

"Nevermind. Just play along." Kagome sighed and stood up.

Dancing through the night, thousands of thoughts ran through Kagome's head. About how she had always wanted to be a princess. To be treated like one. Her dream had come true. After the dance, Inuyasha sent her back to her house and even bid her goodbye.

Sighing happily, Kagome fell asleep under the stars.

~*~*~*~*~

"I'm really happy today, Inuyasha. You made my dream come true." Kagome smiled at him.

"Keh, it was just a business party." Inuyasha blushed.

"Still, this is the first time I've dressed like a real princess. It might seems like I'm help you, but in actual fact, you fulfilled my wish."

"So you are indicating I still own you one?" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "That can be arranged. I have another ball coming up soon. Will you go with me? It's Yosuke-san again so I need you." Inuyasha's tone was almost pleading.

Sighing, Kagome agreed.

"I can't believe she actually fell for that." Was the first thing Inuyasha thought of after she went into her house. In actual fact, he just wanted to see her in that dress once more. Or maybe another dress. He just could not ignore the call of her body.

Something flashed through his mind. Kagome aiming an arrow at someone. Letting it go, a pink gush of air surrounded the arrow and Inuyasha barely heard her "Hit the mark!" as the sound of the arrow whooshed past him. It hit the target. A back of a big fat man.This fat man was pressing onto someone. This "someone" punched him and he saw that it was himself!

The flash ended. Sighing, Inuyasha picked up speed and drove home.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Tough luck!" Kagome had been riding her bicyle when one of the tyres burst. Now she was stuck and it was about to rain soon. A young man of about her age walked up to her.

"Can I help?"

Kagome looked down. "M-My tyre burst. Now I can't go home!" Kagome started to cry.

"Oh dear, I'm good with tyres. I'll fix it. Don't cry. Here, I have a kerchief. Mostly it's dirty but the corners are clean." The young man offered.

"T-Thank you." Kagome hiccuped, not daring to look at the man for fear he may laugh at her.

"So what's your name?"

"K-Kagome."

"Nice name. I'm Kouga."

~*~*~*~*~

Rubbing his temples, Inuyasha just can't stop thinking about Kagome. Last night, he didn't sleep a wink. Flashes keep passing through his mind. It seemed like Kagome was an archer. A very, very bad archer. But what's with the pink light that appears everytime she shoots an arrow?The scariest part was that in one of the flashes, Kagome had tried to shoot him. But her eyes were drained of emotion. He wondered what happened. He had yet to finish the puzzle. Piecing back a few ones, it seems like they were together in a past life or a past reincarnation or something. The phone broke through his thoughts.

"Hello, this is GD Motors.

"Dog-shit? Hey long time no see!"

"Yo, mangy wolf."

"Huh?"

"You called me dog-shit. So I called you Mangy wolf."

"Duh? I called you dog because your name has a dog! What does my name have to do with wolves?"

"Don't know. Just thought about it. When are you coming back?"

"When Uncle gets sensible."

"Father's just asking you to try it for your own good."

"No way. Gotta go. Bye."

"No. Wait-" Kouga had hung up. Inuyasha sighed. If only he could get Kouga to listen. What's that about the mangy wolf part anyway?

~*~*~*~*~*~

"No! That's my father's camera! Why are you taking this and who are you?" Kagome was close to tears. She had returned home to find people taking her father's camera away with Mrs. Higurashi sitting helplessly and her uncle nowhere to be seen.

"Souta Higurashi has loaned a car from us and didn't return it."

"Well then take the car! Why take my Father's camera?"

"That's the question. Your uncle disappeared with the car."

"Oh kami... But that does not give you a reason to take the camera. Can't you take anything else?"

"Oh but this looks like the most valuable around here. And the contract states if we didn't get back to renting fee and the car, we'll take whatever we want." Saying, the man shoved a paper into Kagome's hands.

"This... this is ridiculous!!! What company is this and who is the owner?"

"I can't tell you the owner's name but the company is GD Motors."

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Mr Taisho, someone is making a nuiscance of themselves at the lobby."

"I'll be right there." Inuyasha packed his things and took the lift down. What he saw shocked him. It was Kagome. She was standing in the middle of the crowd, screaming to see the owner.

Kagome turned her head and saw him. Her expression blanked, and she paled. Strolling over, "Why are you here?"

"Shouldn't that be my question, young lady?" Inuyasha crossed his arms over his chairs and leaned against the cool pillar.

"This company stole my Father's Camera. I want it back. NOW!!"

"And you're telling me for?"

"So that you can help me!" Kagome stopped. "I don't mean it like you help me by paying the loaning fees for-"

"I can do that."

"I don't need your help."

"And why is that?"

"I don't want to own you anything."

"Keh."

"You look rich. Can you help me negotiate?"

"Uh..."

"No uhs. Yes or no?"

Kagome's eyes were filled with such a burning determination that Inuyasha gave up trying to explain his position. "Alright."

Kagome squealed in delight and took his arm and started dragging him towards the office."

Entering in after three knocks, Kagome force Inuyasha to sit down and started negotiating. After three hours, they were still there. Inuyasha was quiet the whole time.

"Are you dumb? Say something!" Kagome was close to tears."

"Look young man, you're wasting my time." Apparently the person didn't know who Inuyasha was. Inuyasha's eyes widened at the man's lack of manners. Blanking his expression, Inuyasha coughed and started dragging Kagomg out of the room. Once they reached there, Kagome pull off her hand and started yelling at him "I ASKED YOU TO HELP ME NOT EMBARASS ME YOU BAKA!" Kagome started stomping away.

"Kagome, wait!"

"Shut up."

Ignoring her, Inuyasha tried to explain, "Look, I'm going in right now to help you. If you don't keep you damn mouth shut, I can't help you."

Kagome ignored him but jerk her head indicating she's ok with it. Rushing back to the room, Inuyasha started saying something "Look..."

"You again? I told you you guys are wasting my time. Go back."

Suddenly one of the directors walk past the room. "President Taisho!"

The young man's eyes widened and he fall silent.

this story is not original at all. a writer should have a good sense of imagination and creativity. im not saying that this story is no good, but need improvement. not saying that the story is good either. hope to see your next story ORIGINAL.

Fiona:Well, I can't help it if you're jealous or you don't appreciate the true good things. I wrote this story out of pure anger. It resembles someone in my school whom hurt me alot. You can't expect it to be good. If you're so cowardly as not to admit your own user name, you don't have the right to criticise me either. I thank you for leaving me abit of pride and seriously saying, this is my first fic. You can't expect it to be totally perfect. AND I emphasize in my first chapter that I got the inspiration from somewhere. But the whole idea is mine. You can't just say it's not original. I thank you for your review but please. Next time, before you criticise someone, look at the mirror and ask if you are perfect. If you are, you can slap me for all you want and I won't care. Thank you.
