Chapter 1- Meeting The Mate

-------------

"I WON'T DO IT!"

"Inuyasha, be reasonable."

"NO! I REFUSE!"

"If you meet her, you might change your mind."

"I DON'T CARE TO MEET HER. NOR DO I CARE TO MARRY HER!"

Inuyasha and his father Inutashio have been going at it for days about Inuyasha's arranged marriage. Inutashio had just popped the big news on Inuyasha about two days ago, and he has been rebellious ever since.

"Inuyasha, if you would just put aside your pride for someone else just this once…"

"YOU MEAN THROW AWAY MY LIFE TO SAVE YOUR COMPANY! FORGET IT…I AINT MARRYING NOBODY! ESPECIALLY NOT SOMEONE MY PARENTS PICKED FOR ME!"

"Both of our companies need a merger, and Higurashi and I are good friends. It's only right that we help each other out."

"THEN WHY DON'T YOU MARRY HIS DAUGHTER?"

"Well I would, she's pretty. But sadly…she's 16, and I'm 52. I would be arrested."

"SO WILL I YOU STUPID OLD MAN, I'M 19!" Inuyasha yelled while throwing a remote in his father and mothers direction.

"But both your mother and I, and the Higurashi's, have given you permission to wed!" Inutashio said a little to gleefully.

Inuyasha's eyes widened by three fractions, but he soon relaxed them and faked a yawn. "Whatever old man…I aint marrying that girl."

"Your about as thick headed as a…"

"SHUT UP"

"Inuyasha, enough of this foolish nonsense. You are going to meet with her rather you like it or not. AND you are going to be nice to her. Now we're going to the Higurashi mansion at seven PM, make sure you're dressed…and looking presentable by six."

Inuyasha shook his head and began his ascension on the many stairs to his mansion. "We'll see."

------------------------------------------------------

"I…"

**Crash**

"WONT…"

**Crash**

"DO IT!!!"

**VERY LOUD CRASH** [AN: l0l]

Kagome had been in her privet work out practicing martial arts when her father and mother walked in on her. While they were telling her about her the 'good news', Kagome had been pre-occupying herself by breaking cement blocks with her hands. Kagome has been practicing martial arts since she was about four. She's now sixteen, and practically unbeatable. However, Kagome's strength only added to her looks, and boy was Kagome Higurashi a looker. Anyone with eyes that actually worked could see how beautiful she was.

"Kagome…you knew something like this would have come up sooner or later."

Kagome did a few speed punches at the air before turning her to her parents and giving them her full attention. She crossed her arms. "No."

"You haven't even met the boy." Kento Higurashi, Kagome's father pressed.

"I don't need to meet him to tell you I won't marry him."

"Kagome, you have to…for the company. Take one for the team…"

"It's not happening." Kagome replied while heading towards the door to take a shower. But before she could go to far, her father grabbed onto her ankles to stop her from leaving.

"Please Kagome…hasn't daddy always given you everything you asked for? Why can't you do something for me in return?"

"I would do something for you…something that doesn't involve marrying some guy." Kagome tried to wiggle her leg out from her fathers reach. "WOULD YOU GET OFF OF ME OLD MAN!!!" She yelled.

Kagom's father quickly let go of his daughter and ran to his wife's side. "Nabiki…she…she yelled at me…"

"Awe dear, it's alright. She didn't mean it." Kagome's mother tried to sooth the man who was now crying the blues on her shoulder. "Kagome dear, could you at least meet with the boy? It won't kill you to meet him? Maybe he'll be really nice. You never know. Get cleaned up, put on something attractive, and meet us in the dining hall at seven o'clock. Okay?" Nabiki said soft and sweetly.

Kagome sighed. "I'll meet him, and I may even be nice to him…but I am NOT marrying him."

"That's the spirit dear. Now get a move on. And remember…something attractive."

Kagome raised an eyebrow at her mother. "Are you trying to tell me to dress sluttish without actually saying it?"

"I most certainly am not." Her mother stood up. "But if you wanted to show off a little skin…no one is stopping you."

Kagome sighed in defeat. "We will see mother."

------------

Kagome let out a deep breath while she was straitening her hair. She had pretty long hair already, but with it straitened, it looked longer. Plus, she liked her hair straight rather then wavy, which is how her hair normally fell.

She felt as though she would take her mother's hint and show a little skin. So she decided to wear a denim skirt that ended about three inches from her knee, not to long, not to short. She wore a black button down but left the first two buttons undone to show off a little cleavage but leaving enough for imagination. As for footwear, she put on a pair of classic mini black uggs. Though it was mid spring, she could wear her boots anytime. Kagome didn't wear make up, she hardly ever did since she didn't need it.

"I can't believe those two. Making me marry some guy I don't even know. Some half demon I don't even know. The nerve of them…and at the tender age of 16 too. How many sixteen-year-old heiresses have to worry about marriage? NONE!!!" Kagome finished straitening her last strand of hair and began walking out of her bedroom.

Ugh…what if he's ugly…I'll have to wake up to something ugly EVERY MORNING…I just hope our kids take after me…

Kagome stopped at the top of the steps in mid thought.

Well…that was a rather shallow thought Kagome…

"Ahhhhhh!!! I CAN'T TAKE THIS!" Kagome began rubbing her temples.

**Ding Dong

"And the fun begins." Kagome whispered.

"Kagome! Come down stairs…your fiancée is waiting to meet you." Came the voice of Kagome's father.

"Huh?" Kagome looked up but soon fell to her knees. "Oh please kill me now."

------------

"I can't believe you two." Inuyasha said in a low growl to his and Kagome's father.

"Now, now son. I really think you will take a liking to my Kagome. She's a very sweet girl, smart, high spirited, and boy is she ever pretty."

"So you say…" Inuyasha said boldly. "OW! WHAT THE HELL GIVES YOU OLD FART!" He yelled to his father who just elbowed him in the gut.

"You said you would be nice…" Inutashio whispered.

"I said no such thing…OW! WOULD YOU STOP THAT!" Inuyasha threw a punch at his father, but his fist was caught in Inutashio's.

"Got to move quicker if you think you'll ever be a match for me."

"Why you..." Inuyasha started.

"Yes father…" Came the soft voice of Kagome from the doorway to the dining room. She took a quick glance at her soon to be husband and her eyes widened. Oh my goodness…he…he…he's cute…

Inuyasha turning his attention to the girl and his jaw almost dropped. My god…she's… But once he got himself together, he put on a straight face and scowled at the girl.

"Kagome honey. Come sit down next to Inuyasha." Her father said.

Kagome sent an evil glare to the boy then crossed her arms. "I'd rather not if its all the same to you." She said while taking a seat ACROSS from Inuyasha, who was still sending her dirty looks.

What the hell is wrong with this boy…why does he keep looking at me…

"Oh Kagome…you certainly do have a mind of your own don't you? But don't you think you would be more comfortable next…to…Inuyasha…" Inutashio hinted.

"I appreciate the offer Mr. Takahashi…but I'd rather not."

"Psh…as if I want that next to me." Inuyasha said in a whisper.

Kagome snapped her head so quickly; you didn't even see her head move. "EXCUSE…me? What exactly is that suppose to mean?"

"I think I said what I meant…" Inuyasha countered.

Kagome stood up and leaned across the table and grabbed Inuyasha's shirt. "Do you really want to test me dog boy?"

Inuyasha's ears twitched at the girls comment. "Who you calling 'dog boy'?"

"Inuyasha…Kagome…Please don't kill each other. We still need you two right now." Both Inutashio and Kento said in unison.

"BUT OUT!" Kagome yelled with her fiery temper.

"Hey Higurashi…this can't be the girl you were talking about earlier." Inuyasha spoke up, still being in Kagome's grip.

"What do you mean boy?" Kento asked.

"You said that Kagome was sweet, and pretty. This girl is obviously not sweet, she's defiantly NOT pretty…"

**BOOM…POW…CRASH***

Kagome began panting for breath as she recovered from punching Inuyasha in the cheek and sending him flying into a wall that now has a dent in it.

When Inuyasha recovered, he stood up and rubbed his cheek. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR YOU CRAZY WENCH!" Inuyasha yelled in Kagome's face.

"Um…Inuyasha I wouldn't…" Kento started but Kagome signaled for him to shut up.

At first Kagome seemed shocked at what she was just called, but shortly after she seemed calm and content. That is…until she grabbed Inuyasha's shirt and brought him to her face. "I would refrain from calling me 'wench' Inuyasha."

"And what is an UN cute violent tomboy like YOU going to do…w-e-n-c-h." He said with a tone of challenge

Kagome let out a small breath and placed Inuyasha on his feet.

"That's what I thought…AHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"YOU…JERK!" Kagome screamed while throwing the dinning room table at Inuyasha's head that effectively hit him in the face. She ran to his side and stood over top of him.

"L-l-l-leave me alone…y-y-you're freaking crazy."

"Jerk." She said while kicking him in the stomach and running out of the dinning room and back up the stairs.

Inuyasha stood to his feet and yelled after the girl. "YOU ARE SO NOT CUTE, OR PRETTY. YOU HAVE NO BODY SHAPE! AND YOU'RE AS VIOLENT AS A GUY!"

You soon heard a loud scream, and a door slam.

"INUYASHA YOU THICK HEADED…" Inutashio started yelling.

"Shut up will ya!"

"No I will not shut up! YOU will. How could you say such things to Kagome? She a nice girl, and YOUR fiancée now. You need to show her a little more respect."

"R-r-respect? How can I respect a girl that's more likely to kill me than kiss me? Or did you NOT just see her throw a table at me? Seriously…If you didn't see it, I'll show you the bruise." Inuyasha said while pointing to the giant gash going across his face.

"INUYASHA!!! I've had it with you!" Inutashio's face was glowing dark red. He picked his son up by the back of the shirt and jeans. He built up all his energy and chucked Inuyasha up the stairs. "GO UP THERE AND APOLOGIZE!"

-----------

Kagome was in her cousins

bedroom crying her eyes out. "Honestly Michie…I wasn't down there for ten minutes and he was already insulting me."

"Come on Kags, I couldn't have been that bad…he probably didn't meant it. Maybe he said it all out of anger."

"Oh yea…you didn't see his face when he said what he did."

Michie sighed and rubbed Kagome's back soothingly. "I'm sure if you just talk to him, he might be an okay guy."

Kagome sniffled two times and then sat up on the bed. "I don't care to know if he's an 'okay guy'. And I don't care about what he said…I just…"

"Just what Kagome?"

"I don't want to marry him."

"Kagome…I understand how you feel…"

"NO YOU DON'T! YOU'RE NOT THE ONE BEING FORCED TO MARRY SOMEONE YOU'RE GROWING HATRED FOR!"

"Kagome, don't say that. You don't know him to hate him."

"But he's incredibly rude to me and had NO respect what so ever."

"Are you SURE you didn't do anything to provoke him."

"All I did was say I didn't want to sit next to him. Then he decided to be a smart ass and make a comment. I couldn't just ignore it. He called me a 'that' like I don't have a name."

"Just give him a chance…please Kagome…for me." Michie started giving Kagome puppy dog eyes.

Kagome sighed in defeat. "You should marry him…" She mumbled under her breath. "Okay…I'll give him a chance. But I'm not going to tolerate his rudeness. I don't deserve it…no one does."

Michie took a deep breath. "I know you don't Kagome. Just please…try to be nice to the guy."

"I will if he will." Kagome put on a happy face.

And who knows…maybe he is an okay guy…

------------------

Inuyasha was holding an ice pack to his nose while walking to where he smelt Kagome's scent.

That girls going to pay for this lump on my nose…oh she's sweet he says…she's high-spirited he says…yea…in whose world??? Maybe I did take it a bit to far though…I didn't really HAVE to say what I did…

Inuyasha came to a hall that was filled with Kagome's scent mixed with the scent of another. He raised his hand to knock on the door. It had a sigh on it that said 'Michie'

Oh great…another crazy girl lives here…

"Come on Kags, I couldn't have been that bad…he probably didn't meant it. Maybe he said it all out of anger."

Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.

"Oh yea…you didn't see his face when he said what he did."

He pressed his ear to the door. She's talking to another girl…is she talking about me…

"I'm sure if you just talk to him, he might be an okay guy."

"I don't care to know if he's an 'okay guy'. And I don't care about what he said…I just…"

"Just what Kagome?"

"I don't want to marry him."

"Kagome…I understand how you feel…"

"NO YOU DON'T! YOU'RE NOT THE ONE BEING FORCED TO MARRY SOMEONE YOU'RE GROWING HATRED FOR!"

Inuyasha's eyes widened and he backed up from the door. "She…hates me? How can she hate me? Did I really push her that far on the first day meeting her?" He turned his back to the door not bothering to hear any more gossip about him. "Fine…if THAT'S the way she wants to play it…I'll give her a guy to hate."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

AN: And that completes our first chapter. Is it interesting? I sure hope so…Kagome in this fic has pretty much as thick hot tempered as Inuyasha…but don't worry, she wont stay like this. Honestly…Kags is sweet, oh&&so is Michie…I promise. ^_^

Okay, until I update…please R&R!
