A/N: New story. I just decided to post all story ideas and someday get around to writing them.
Disclaimer: Violence is the answer, to use it is the question. But what does that have to with owning InuYasha?
Koodori Joshuu
Ch. 1
Kagura was bored to tears. It wasn't like she asked to be born into nobility, she just was, and there was nothing she could do about that. And because she was nobility, she had been 'invited' to a party held for Sesshomary and his troops who had returned triumphantly from war. Luckily it was a masked ball. Besides, the very wind was her essence, if she wanted to be invisible, she pretty much was, thanks to the fact that she was Kaze.
Her father was at a meeting with all the other Lords. Their government was really different from other countries. There were 39 states. Two Lords are at the heads of each state, a human and a demon, all which were nobility. Every 5 years, there was an election for 2 new Lords, the current Lord could run as many times he or she would like. Each state would take turns being the capital, the two Lords at the head of the state at the time when their state was the capital had the most power. They would then be called Sabunim, the masters.
Back to Kagura. She was sick of the way she was being treated.
"Oh, may I draw you a bath?"
"Would milady like something to eat or refresh herself with?"
"Please take a nap, you must be tired from your trip."
Yeah, life was good. It was tormenting her to death.
Oops, only one hour left till she was going to be tortured, I mean the ball. Her father had told her sternly that she was to arrive on time and that there was to be no funny business. Oh well, it wasn't like she had much to dress up for in the first place. She was going to go as the Snow Goddess. Not a very hard costume. Just powder her face white, put hair in a messy bun with lots of hair escaping, and wear a sweeping white kimono. She might as well get ready early, she had something planned later, something sure to annoy someone…
Three hours down, two more to go. So far, Kagura had escaped everyone who was looking for her. Mainly her father. Until now, that is.
"Good evening, Kagura." She looked up to see Sesshomaru smirking. Or something of the like.
"Sesshomaru", she hissed, "How are you doing today? No hangnails, no split ends, or running eyeliner I hope?" She fought down an urge to laugh.
Sesshomaru ignored her question. "Would you like to dance?"
"No, thank you. I have a um… a performance, yes, a performance to get ready for. Good day."
It would of worked had Sesshomaru not grabbed her wrist and whispered in her ear, "There is no performance. Though there will be an announcement concerning you tonight."
"What announcement? My father has not told me anything."
"Dance Kagura, dance, and you will find your answers." She let herself be dragged to the dance floor, trying to be ungraceful. "My father has told me that the negations are complete."
Kagura recalled her father telling her that Sesshomaru was going to be engaged when he came back. "Congratulations. Who is the lucky lady?" Her voice was layered with sarcasm. After all, if he teased her from now on, it would be very inappropriate, and Sesshomaru hated gossip.
She almost didn't hear what he was saying, "Your father has arranged it that you will be staying, fiancée. Her eyes flew wide open. Fiancée? "I see that you are too shocked to speak."
"Shut up." She took her feather out of her hair. Her hair started to fall to her shoulders only to be blown up when she threw the feather into the air. Kagura disappeared with a gust of wind.
"Well, I did everything Father told me." he sighed. "I wish her father good luck." With that, he too, seemed to vanish.
Later…
"Ladies and gentlemen," began Jaken. Sesshomaru's father took over.
"I am very pleased to announce," insert a glare from Kagura, "that my son, Sesshomaru and Kagura are engaged and will be married in two years time."
Everyone was quiet. Until InuYasha started laughing. Strangely enough, the two mentioned people were nowhere to be found. They were both sulking, that is if Sesshomaru could sulk. She on the roof will the wind blowing wildly in her face, he in the library, looking up books on persuasion. Which all have mysteriously disappeared.
