Authors Note: Hey gals and guys this is a new story! I'm going to put a lot of effort into updating ALL my stories at least once maybe twice every four weeks. So I hope you enjoy this new story and review.

"Oh I just can't wait to marry Hojo!" Kagome said as she was wearing her wedding dress for the last fitting one week before the wedding. The smile on her face never faded. She twirled in her A line halter red and whitewedding dress. Kagome's mom smiled

"I'm so happy for you, Kagome dear. Your father would be proud if he was still alive. I wish you both an everlasting life together in complete harmony."

"Thanks mom. Okay come on let's go to the church for our last rehearsal. At the church the twenty-four year old was over excited.

"Now Kagome turn and face Hojo … Good!" Kagome smiled, the Priest then said

"Now Hojo you place the ring on Kagome's finger and Kagome you do the same to Homo… er… I-I I mean Hojo." Hojo glared and Kagome gave a deadly stare. The priest chuckled nervously

"Sorry about that youngster, I won't be calling you that on your wedding ceremony hopefully." The couple lightened up and Kagome's mom sighed; she thought to her self 'Why do I get the feeling that Hojo is planning something? Why I've known him for nine years now so why do I doubt him when he's tying the knot with my daughter?' She was snapped out of her thought by Kagome

"Mom, what's the matter you look worried are you okay?"

"I'm fine sweets, was just in deep thought." They both smiled. Kagome turned and saw her sister Ayumi wink at Hojo, and Hojo blew a kiss at her. Kagome blinked but saw that her sister was glaring at Hojo and Hojo giving a deadly look to Ayumi. Kagome sighed and then muttered

"Must have imagined it, those two are friends one second then enemies the next."

"What was that Kagome? Did you say something?" Kagome shook her head 'no.' The priest cleared his throat and announced

"Well then that's it for today. Be here tomorrow at four o'clock sharp so we can talk about the wedding and such other things, like last minute changes and so on and so forth." They all nodded. Kagome's mom then announced

"Ayumi, its kind of late outside, and it's been a while since you've visited; so would you like to-"

"No." Ayumi said flatly. Everyone turned their heads in shock instead of Hojo, Kagome, and her mom. Ayumi looked up and gave her mother a heartless stare

"I don't want to go to your house anymore. After all I'm and independent women. I don't need anyone's help anymore, but thanks mom. I'm grateful though." She gave a fake enthusiastic smile and walked out the church doors. Kagome's mother sighed

"She's changed a lot over the years. I don't know what happened. I guess that's what happens when children decide when their ready for the outside world." Ayumi moved out of her mother's house when she was sixteen claiming she can live on her own without anyone's help. As time went by she became cold and hateful but often covered it up with fake smiles and acted counterfeit. Kagome's mother continued

"She feels resentment. I don't know why. I guess that's what the world does to you." Kagome's mom smiled and looked at Kagome

"But you Kagome, thank you for not taking advantage of any freedom I give you. Thank you for listening, Thank you for everything." Kagome grinned and hugged her mother. When the moment was over everyone went home, but when Kagome's mother arrived home she felt the feeling again like … Hojo's planning something … Something against someone but who and what?

Authors Note: I'm feeling pretty confident about this story. What is Hojo planning? Why is he planning it? Who is he planning it with? Hmmm there are hints in the chapter, but don't tell me what they are I know perfectly. This is just a taste … a build up so to speak on the chapters to come.
