I had to write a story for English about journeys had to be at least four pages and I had absolutely no idea what to write so I wrote this. I didn't give it in so I got in trouble.

CH1 Kagome

I lounged in my room, happy, ecstatic even, that I finally had time to myself. Though it's pretty sad that my quest for the jewels over and the wells closed but what are you going to do. I finally have time for myself. A whole weekend to do nothing but get a little R and R no home work, no annoying friends, no problems what so ever. Nothing could go wrong. I probably just jinxed myself. I should knock on wood but too lazy. Doesn't really matter what could happen.

Knock, knock.

"Kagome, honey can I come in?" came my mother's voice through the door. Oh please budda, do not make her ask me to do something.

"Yea" I yelled turning onto my stomach, maybe if I don't look at her she won't ask me to do anything. That most likely won't work but what the heck it's worth a try.

"Don't worry honey I won't ask you to do anything" how'd she know I was thinking that. "I just came in to discuss some things with you" god what did I do now? "you didn't do anything wrong, don't worry' how is she doing that I'm not even looking at her, she's starting to scare me now.

"It's just that your grandfather thought that since your 16 now, that you should meet and get to know your fiancé" oh so that's all it was and here I thought it was something ba… wait FIANCE, since when did I have a fiancé? What is this?

"FIANCE SINCE WHEN DID I HAVE A FIANCE? DID THAT OLD GOAT FINALLY CRACK AND SOLD ME OFF TO ONE OF HIS POKER BUDDIES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT GAVE YOU'SE THE IDEA BUT I DON'TDO OLD MEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH" I screamed, ranted and raved. I looked at my mother panting from my previous yelling. Her expression was serene and peaceful like she didn't just have her pmsing teenage daughter yell at her, not just any pmsing teenage girl yelling at her it was me.

"Oh honey, calm down" she said waving her hand in front of her face. Calm down she expects me to calm down? "Your grandfather did not sell you off to one of his poker buddies, he maybe a little bit senile but not that senile." Then who sold me off? Did she? My own lovin- well I thought loving mother sell me off to some random family. "It wasn't me either'.

"Stop doing that it's scaring me" I cried out. So many questions are running through my head. Who sold me off? Who am I being sold off to? How is she reading my mind? What's for dinner? "And if it wasn't you then who was it?" there are only two people in my family that can arrange my marriage.

"It was your father" she said, but that didn't make ay sense.

"But how could that be wouldn't it be void because well you know" I couldn't say it.

"yes it would but it was your fathers last wish he wanted to make sure that you were well taken care of when he's not here" there were tears in the corner of her eyes threatening to fall over as she explained this. I miss dad.

"Do I really have to?" I whined, even if dad chose him, he had no right. Don't I have the right to chose who I will marry?

"Yes" she replied, not even thinking of the possibility of saying no.

'do I really have to?" I continued to whine, I'm determined to do this until she said 'oh kagome my dear you don't have to, I'm sorry I even thought to ask you' yep I am n way going to accept this.

"KAGOME YOU ARE GOING TO RESPECT YOUR FATHERS DIEING WISH AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT' ok she snapped, she wasn't going to budge an inch about this. That's just how devoted she still is to dad. Sigh, it looks like I'm not going to get out of this.

"So who's the guy" I asked. Maybe I know him already, though highly unlikely since she said I was going to get to know him, but hey you never know. If I know him please god let it not be stalker Hojo.

"I'm not sure of his name but he's the son of a friend of your fathers, from when he was around your age" yep there was no hope I would know him then, my father use to live on the other side of Tokyo for crying out loud.

"so when's he coming over" I asked, maybe if I'm lucky I'll catch some really rare really sever cold or something, that will keep me leave me unable to go near, now won't that be a shame, not.

"Oh honey he's not coming over here" then how am I going to meet them. "your going over there" that proves it my mother was an evil mastermind out for world domination, but most likely grandbabies, though it's such a shame she had so much potential to take over the world, with the crazy smile and insane look on her face I now know it's grandbabies.

"So how long will I have to stay over there for" hopefully two days tops, I'm not really thrilled with the thought of staying with my husband-to-be for any longer than that. I mean I never even met him before, what if he's some crazed pervert or old or, or, or…… that's all I got.

"Two years" she said holding up two fingers. Wait she must be joking I did not just here the words two years come out of her mouth did I. there is no way my oh so loving mother would ship me off for two years.

"Excuse me please repeat yourself" I can feel the nervous smile stretch painfully across my face.

"Two years" she said again. Why, why do you hate me so much lord WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYY.

"TWO YEARS" I bellowed. "WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO GO LIVE WITH HIM FOR TWO YEARS WHY DON'T YOU JUST MARRY US OFF ALREADY" this really sucked, it was so unfair how could she even think of making me go through with it.

"well I decided that two years will be enough time for you to get to know him, because knowing you won't talk to him or hate him or just all together be difficult. By the way you'll be leaving on Monday, you have the rest of the week end to pack" Monday, I'm leaving on Monday this is outrageous, how come I only found out now if I had more time I could of winged and moaned about this and most likely made her change her mind.

"How long have you known about this" I sneered she should of told me about this earlier.

"For a couple of months" she said. She's known for months and she's only telling me now. WHAT TYPE OF MOTHER IS SHE?

"If you've known for months then how come I'm only finding out about it now" she could of, no should have told me a month ago. I would have been packed by now. Though I most likely would of talked her out of it, if not that I would have annoyed her at the least.

"Well if I told you sooner I would have had to listen to you winging and whining and that's just something I don't want to here" in a voice that sounded like she was talking about the most bothersome thing in the world. She really does know me to well.

"but I wou…" stop arguing and start packing you only have one and a half days to pack two years worth of things" she interrupted in a voice that all children know as the 'stop arguing and do what I say or no ice cream for you voice', I hate that voice it takes my ice cream. She then left me to my own miserable packing. There goes my weekend; wait fuck my weekend there goes my life.

Damn I should have knocked on wood.

(BEL: so what do you think, the spelling and stuff was checked by my friend birdie who was sick of bad spelling and grammar mistakes in my work. She so mean.

Any way I always love to hear what you think and who do you thinks going to be her fiancé.
