An Inuyasha story

Summery- Kagome and her twin sister Kikyou are forced to enter the court of intended for Sesshomaru but what happens when Kagome spots the eye of a hot wolf demon while staying in the Lord's castle.

Chapter 1

Hi. My name is Kagome Higurashi and I am 18 years old. I live in a village with my father Bankotsu, my mother Sango, twin sister Kikyou, and our servant shippo. My sister and i dislike each other very much and I try my best to stay out of her way. I am being forced to go to a stupid western Lords court of intended.

"Do I have to father really? Kikyou obviously wants to go so why do I have to? I'm worthless father. I will only take up space. Just let me stay home please." I begged my father.

"Kagome the invitation was to both of the daughters of the Higurashi family so you must go. The lord of the western lands has ordered you and your sister to go so there is nothing to be done about it you must go!" He explained.

"Mother?" I asked.

But she just shook her head at me signalling that she couldn't do anything about it either, it was the great Lord's order and no one dare to defy him.

"Fine but I will not be treated like a slave nor will I be treated like a princess I just want to get this over and done with ok." I moaned.

"Of course dear but you will not be allowed to carry that huge sword of yours around it is far too large to carry around, the guards would not allow it, and the Lord would be most displeased with you. However instead you will be given two small daggers that you may hide under your clothing to protect yourselves within case any of you are in danger. Next you will have to wear a proper kimono that your mother will help you pick out and put on and also you will be given some spares in a suit case to take with you. I will have shippo take you to the castle and protect you and your sister. He will also be your servant to help with anything you need being done or for you to keep company with if you need. The horses will be ready within the hour to take you there and will be left at the castle in case you want to go for a ride. You will need to behave and show your manners at all times in his castle never let your guard down, and never say anything rude about the Lord because he will kill you in an instant. He isn't named the killing perfection for nothing. Now go get ready." My father told me before I was dragged of by my mother to get changed.

I really didn't want to go but I knew I had to so I thought maybe I could just hang around the palace and check it out before heading home and saying that he didn't want me. God it would have been so much easier if he had only chosen Kikyou to go. I mean she's beautiful, has a perfect body, and although has flirted with every male in the village is still a kind wonderful woman that would make any man happy. On the other hand I was more of a tom boy that likes to fight, mess around, and go wandering which I've been doing since I was a kid. One time I was about 4 years old and was walking through the forest only to see a huge white male dog 4 times the size of me turn and stare at me with his gorgeous golden eyes that shone like the sun. He had vanished a minute later and I never saw him again but I knew once I had seen those beautiful eyes that I wanted him to be mine.

Half an hour later and I was finally ready to leave for the castle. Me and Kikyou said our goodbye's and just before we were off my dad told us to be safe and well and also not to get into any trouble. He of course was glaring at me when he said that and I knew the line was intended mainly for me warning me not to do anything bad. Once we had set off it was only a few hours later when we needed to take a break and so I left to go get some wood to make a fire while Kikyou sat wrapped up on a blanket watching Shippo as he tied the horses up and fed them.

As I was leaving I could hear Kikyou talking rudely about me saying that I shouldn't even have been born and that I shouldn't have come with her but her voice faded as I got further and further away. However once I had collected enough fire wood ad was on my way back I heard a scream and ran back towards the camp only to stop just behind the bushes to find out what was going on. There was three men rummaging through our bags looking for goods to sell while my sister and servant where tied to a tree. I knew by the ugly sight of them that they were thief's and I grabbed one of the knifes from under my kimono and attacked them from behind. I stabbed the first one in the middle of his back and he fell to the floor while the other two came at me with swords in their hands. They charged at me and I dodged the lunge that the first thief tried to hit me with while jumping into the air and then punching him in the face with my right hand. I spun around whilst still air borne to kick the other round the head which made him fly far away and slam into a tree nocking it down. The third attacked me from behind but I flipped backwards over him and then stabbed him again in the back but deeper this time. I walked over to Kikyou and untied her and Shippo in silence before grabbing our horses and setting off again with them following behind.

We all kept silent throughout the rest of our journey although I knew Kikyou was begging to just spurt out that it was all my fault for leaving them alone. It didn't take too long to reach the castle and we were soon gazing at the magnificent Lord's palace that was decorated gloriously. It was night by the time we got to the entrance of the place and I stepped forward to hand the servant the invitation.

"You may pass my ladies. I hope you have a wonderful stay." He whispered while checking my body out.

I could sense his scent of arousal as his eyes followed down my body, over my curves, and lit up when they found my bare legs. I could see the lust in his eyes as he looked over me and could not help the slight blush that overcame my cheeks. However as soon as our eyes met, the great Lord Sesshomaru noticed his guards arousal and walked over to us to grant us a warm welcome but as he go there the scent of arousal disappeared altogether. He seemed to be quite angry that he could scent his male guard's arousal at one of his guest's and I could see his teeth scrape against each other.

"Welcome to my royal palace. I am Lord Sesshomaru ruler of the western lands and you may be?" He introduced seductively.

His eyes were looking straight into mine as if he knew it was me that the guard was aroused at but I didn't want anything to do with the Lord. I kind of liked the guard and my flickered to his before settling on Sesshomaru's eyes which were quite disgusted that I would look at one of his guards.

"This is my twin sister Kikyou and I am Kagome of the Higurashi household. This is our servant Shippo and we would like to thank you for inviting us here tonight to enter for your court of intended." I answered as I curtseyed to him.

As I finished my sentence Kikyou snorted quietly and I glared at her. Sesshomaru watched as my eyes turned to glare at my sister before flickering back to his orbs while a warm smile spread across my face.

"Well Miss Higurashi I hope that you enjoy your stay with us." He whispered kissing my hand. "And of course to you my lady." He added like he nearly forgot about her and bowed his head slightly to Kikyou before turning his golden globes back to my eyes and giving me a lusty look.
