Summary: She tried everything to be disqualified in the run to be his bride. But too bad, he liked it.
Disclaimer: Later on in the chapters, the rating may change. I do not own Inuyasha.
A/N: This is a alternate reality fic. Although, Sesshomaru & other characters may STILL be demons. The demons & human rivalry in this fic has been ended decades ago. Although the 'demons' still think they're the better kind.
Some of the reviews for this fic is bother me, my first language is English, but I just turned 15. Sorry if my grammer's not good enough to satisfy all my reviewers. So anyways, I revised the chapters. I found them too short unlike my other fics, so I put 4 chapters together into 2. I'll be trying my hardest to update, but it's hard because of the new length of the chaps that I have to keep up to.
Please Review.
Chapter 1: Revised
"The 10 runner ups to be Mr.Taisho's bride are..." The announcer started.
"Yura Taki"
I've seen Yura before, pretty little woman with short dark hair and nice purple eyes, although I think she got contacts on them. I was never sure. She surprised me though, I never thought that she would enter in something like this. Unlike me, I knew I would've never entered if it wasn't for you know who, namely Sango.
"Beryl Love"
Ahhh, a rare one I call her. Long dark red hair..although I think she dyed it. I didn't think anyones natural hair colour was like that. She put too much make up and her lips looked like she had something injected to make it look bigger. Not like I didn't put on make up either, just alittle.
"Sandy Star"
Haha, I had to laugh at this one. She seemed like a squirrel. She had short brown hair and brown eyes, while having a really tanned skin. I guess she went to the beach alot because I had never seen anyone with skin that tan. Plus, I think she had buck teeth in her younger years, and than she had braces. I'm good at looking through people..not myself though, I do not know how to look at myself.
"Michelle Barton"
A country girl and nothing to say about her, blonde hair blue eyes. Typical.
"Brittney Pear"
This one was funny, ahha. I really laugh this time. She had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes? Not sure but I think she shaved her head bald before because she had extensions when her hair was really short. Scared me when I first saw her, she was pretty but too much like a doll. Ughhh, can't believe she's here too.
"Kagura Vine"
I have nothing to say about her, she is really pretty. Practically flawless I must say, dark locks with red eyes. Normal human beings wouldn't have them so I guess she was a demon.
"Ayumi Hamati"
One word, ew. Even though I acted as her friend.
"Ruka Ming"
She's a pretty girl. Well..a bit too ordinary? Black hair brown eyes, nothing much.
"Mingle La"
When I first heard her name, I cried out in laughter almost. Mingle La, seemed like a this song I had heard on the radio before, hahaha. Mingle La, Mingle La. She had green hair? Ew. Weird. And blue eyes. I guess she was obssessed with green though because everything she was wearing was green.
"Kagome Higurashi"
That surprised me. I was just standing there, jaws dropping, eyes wide and looked at the announcer. I really couldn't believe it. I was just a typical 18 year old girl, planning to got to college and then find the man of my dreams and marrying him. I never planned to do something as absurd as this.
"Why me?" I cried as I ran from the people who were getting their pictures taking. "Sango! Its all your fault!"
"What are you talking about?" Sango asked innocently.
Sango Tjitawa was my bestfriend. She was a beautiful girl with big brown eyes. She was the dream goddess of any man, but too bad...she was abit to rough. Well, not abit rough. Really rough. That was the scary part, you get her pissed off and there you go. A ticket straight to hell for free.
Here she was, standing there...watching me while I was having the worst moment of my life, doing something that I would never do. Running to be some ones bride.
"You know what I'm talking about!" I pouted as my black wavy hair blew in the hair.
"Kagome, your were the one who said you wanted some fun in your life!" Sango cried, putting her hands up.
"Sango, by fun I didn't mean this!" I groaned as I crossed my arms. I was wearing a tight white t-shirt and black short shorts. My shirt was so tight it showed my bra, but you see...I didn't pick this outfit out...Sango did! She had to pay. "You are so dead!"
"Come on Kagome, you can't just back out of this right now...I mean. They won't even let you if you tried!" Sango said as she looked at me giving me a smile. "Just get it over with"
"But what happens if I am the chosen one? I don't want to be married to a fucking guy that I just met for a few days!" I screamed.
"Hes a billionaire! Hes rich and smart and, just look at him...doesn't he look stunning to you?" Sango asked as she pointed at the bachelor.
She was right...he had been amazing. His long silver hair tied up and his golden amber eyes glinting in the sun. He was wearing a black t-shirt that hugged his muscles and casual blue jeans. True he was a demon, but still...I don't want to get married.
"Sango.." I whimpered. Just then I heard someone call my name.
"Kagome!" Ayumi cried. Ayumi was another contestant in the running.
"What is it?" I grumbled.
"Aww, going grouchy huh?" Ayumi laughed.
"Shut up. What is it?" I asked again.
"You better pack up soon! I can't believe it...this is like a dream come true" Gushed Ayumi as she held her hands up to her chest like she was having a nice dream.
"Err...Why should I pack up and what's a dream come true?" I asked. I knew this was going to be something bad.
"You won't believe it! We're going to stay at Sesshomaru Taisho's house! Imagine how big it will be, full of maids to do our laundry and you know, those big beds. Oh my god..I might just be able to see those rippling muscles of Sesshomaru's too. Fuck...Kagome, isn't this the best? We'll have to buy more clothes and make up and..." Ayumi started.
"Sangooooo" I cried as I lashed out at her.
"This is a perfect chance yet!" Sango giggled. "You will finally have atleast one man at your presences"
"I don't want to be his bride!" I screamed. I blushed, everyone had been looking at me after that scream.
Ayumi stopped talking about the house once she heard what I said, "Come on Kagome, It's not like you'll actually win"
"Ayumi...what's that suppose to mean?" I growled. Sure I didn't want to be his bride...but I do have the qualities to be it...right? I mean..I liked cats and I love to do sports even though I'm a tom boy at times. But really, I'm girly like everybody else! Okay..gone way over board. I'll shut up now.
"Kagome-chan...I don't meant it that way! It's just that well...other...girls like me...maybe better" Ayumi stated, slowly backing away.
"Ayumi, you girls can have him for all I care" I said to her.
"Does that mean you'll back down? I heard you can't do that" Ayumi inquired as she flipped her dark hair again. She really loved flipping her hair and it scared me sometimes.
"No I won't back down...I'll just do stuff...that'll make them disqualify me" I said.
"Kagome..." Sango started.
I cut her off, "Sango...since you started this and you won't help me get out of it. I'll just have to do this myself"
Just before Sango could answer, the announcer started talking again, "Will all contestants come to the stage, will all contestants come to the stage"
"Bye Sango" I said as I hurried off with Ayumi. What a hell of a day this turned out to be.
--
After the announcer had told all the contestants and me that we were to be moved into thr Taisho house, everyone screamed. I screamed too, but for a totally different reason. I mean, I really didn't get why he was such a heart throb, he was just like any spoil brat, trying to get a stupid wife because his attitude was so bad that he couldn't get one himself. So he makes up this contest in hopes that pretty young girls will automatically flock to him and give their undying love.
I had packed up all my stuff and was heading to the famous TAISHO house that EVERYONE would love to go to.
"Miss, 54.86 please" The taxi driver said as he pulled into a drive way of a enormous house. And when I said enormous I meant it. There were atleast about 100 windows and 8 swimming pools and 5 sauna's and more!
"Ohh...umm here you go" I said as I gave him 65 dollars, "Keep the change"
"Good luck" He said as he winked at me.
"Thanks" I mumbled as I got out the car with my luggage. Everybody had seem to know who I was now since I was entered the contest, but I really didn't like the fame. It kept me out of my daily life.
I walked up to the big door and press the bell. I waited...and waited until somebody finally came!
"Ahh, you must be Kagome Higurashi. Everyone is here except you my dear" Said a dark haired woman. She was very pretty, with long dark hair and a clear complection. She had on alittle make up, but still...she seemed very young.
"Oh...I am" I said as I blushed. I couldn't believe that everyone was here before me.
"You can call me Izayoi" She smiled.
"Umm...nice to meet you Izayoi" I said as I smiled back. I walked into the house. It was so different in the house. It was beautiful...amazingly beautiful with glowing lights and a big chandelier. I think there was a huge ball room too.
"Just go straight into that hallway and turn left into that room" Izayoi said as she left.
"Thanks" I called out to her as I went to where she had said.
As I walked into the room I found out that everybody was seated. "Umm...sorry I'm late"
"Kagome, you can get a very low chance of winning if you're late again" Said Mina.
Mina was a blonde with beautiful big blue eyes. She was the one in charge of the whole thing. I saw that everyone was staring right at me. Including Sesshomaru Taisho. I blushed alittle but I didn't put my head down, I didn't want anyone to think that I was a stupid scardy cat. I'm a woman and proud of it.
"Probably because she was too scared of me. I have been told that I'm too handsome for my own good" Sesshomaru smirked.
I blushed, but I was also mad with fury, "Well Mr.Taisho, you may say you're handsome, but I find that you're a tad bit too scaley"
"Kagome!" Mina cried. I heard some giggling from some of the contestants who were seated. Including Kagura, who had her dark hair pulled in a pony tail. She was wearing a tube top and jean shorts.
Sesshomaru had stopped smirking and was looking at me with cold cold eyes. It burned right through me. It scared me even. What the hell...I wasn't scared of him. I believe that woman had equal rights with men..and that we shouldn't be scared of them. We had everyright to say something.
Of course you are!
No I'm not. Who are you anyways?
I'm just a intellectual part of you that tells you when to shut up.
Go away.
"Sorry" I said with dripping sarcasm.
"Sit" Mina ordered glaring at me. I sat next to Ayumi who had a big smile on her face and was looking at Sesshomaru like he was something to eat. I looked at Sessomaru also who was looking at Mina who was giving out orders of what will happen. There was too much looking going around in this room and it was getting me dizzy.
Sesshomaru looked...amazingly like the devil...a hot devil to be exact. He was wearking black sweat pants and a red t-shirt. His hair still tied up. But I also noticed that he changed alot. I mean really..how many outfits can her wear a day? Pfffttt, rich men.
Just then, he caught me staring at him and I blushed. I couldn't help it. Even if I hated him and that I don't want to marry him, I still felt what others felt. He was amazingly...hot.
I looked away and went back to absorbing everything Mina was saying. We were all to have our own rooms. We may do what ever we want. Every 5 days a girl will be eliminated. Each day there will be 2 girls randomly chosen to accompany Sessomaru for the day.
Who ever pleases him the most in the day gets a ring...a gold ring to be exact. Stupid rich kids.
After Mina was done we were all given numbers. Mine was 214. Second floor, room 14. The house was some what like a hotel with the numbers but not quite.
I went into my room and peered in. it was big and amazing. I seem to use the word amazing a lot now...but who cares. Nothing can describe how everything was so perfect. But still...I need to be eliminated from this.
How ever much I like this, I knew that I wouldn't belong. This wasn't for me.
"Like your room?" Murmured a deep voice. I could feel their breath on my neck and I froze. My heart was pounding and I couldn't help but stay in my spot.
I turned around and I came face to face with Sesshomaru Taisho. Well...maybe not face to face because he's taller than me..but you know what I mean right? I looked at him and I was stunned. I could feel his body heat and it scared me. I knew that I had to calm down. I never had much luck with guys even though many asked me out. I never felt interested.
"Umm...yeah" I said quietly...but soon I felt anger rising up from me. How dare he scared me like that. "And what the fuck are you doing in my room?"
"Ah, you should light up your language a bit dear. It might be too over whelming for me. And besides...I think this is my house?" He smirked as he looked at me. His eyes were so damn beautiful. But I knew that I was just attracted by his appearance. I didn't know why he would hold up a contest to look for a bride. He could just find one on the street. But noo, he had to make a stupid decision and hold up a stupid contest.
I hope he tripped and sat on a pin.
"And may I remind you Mr.Taisho, I am a guest here" I said quickly...protecting myself.
"Well let me tell you this, a pin would do no harm to me if I were to actually trip" Sesshomaru said as he closed the door and backed me up against it, feeling the rough surface. It had stunned me the way he had read my mind. How did he know what I was thinking? Was he some kind of mind freak? Nahh, couldn't be it.
"Wha-what are you doing?" I stuttered as I felt his hot breath on my neck.
"My dear, you are in this competition are you not? The main reason you're here is to get me...now that you're in a room by yourself with me...aren't you suppose to be pleasuring me and hope that I pick you as the winner?" He murmured as he slowly kissed my neck. A heat of pleasure came through as a tingle went down my back.
"You...I. What the hell? I don't even like you that much" I cried as I pushed him away. My face hot and breathing fast.
"Don't like me that much aye? Why does your body give in so?" He asked as he claimed my mouth in his. His tongue started to play with mine and my head felt light. I didn't really know what was going on. All I could feel was his lips on mine and his fangs nipping away. I knew I was giving in too easily to his touches. But how could I stop when the feeling was so good?
I kissed him back making the kiss more intense. I could feel him holding on to me tighter and pushing me against his hard muscled body. I gasped as I felt his tongue slowly trailing down to my neck...and a thought snapped into my head. I wasn't suppose to like him...I wasn't suppose to feel this good. I was suppose to make him hate me...so I'll get out of this stupid competition.
And with that, I bit him hard on the lips and he pulled back slighty. I could see that blood was drawing from his bleeding lip and he was cursing.
"Damn bitch" He murmured as he wiped the blood on his sleeves.
He looked at me...his eyes dark now, not really gold as they were before. That scared me...I guess he was mad...really mad. I didn't know the consequences of getting a youkai mad, but I didn't want to find out and never would I want to. If he killed me, my life would be meaningless. So I couldn't let him.
"I-I...I have to go" I said quickly as I turned around and reached for the door knob. And as I was about to open it a clawed hand slammed the door shut. I quickly turned around again and faced him. "What do you want?"
"No one...and I mean no one has ever hurt me before. And if you think you can leave just like that, then you're wrong. I'm going to get my kiss or you will never leave this room" He said in a angered voice. Really..his eyes weren't dark anymore...they were red, blood red. And that scared her again...alot.
"I-you...why are you doing this to me?" I pleaded as I looked at him. Even when he was angry I could see that I liked everything single thing about him. His muscles...his chest..his lips...everything.
"Ah, when you walked into that room today and played this unusual game with me, I knew there was something different about you. And I'm going to find out what that is. Every girl in this contest has been kissed by me, and now I want yours. I won't take no for a answer" He said as he pushed me against the door again.
His mouth slammed on to mine and this time I let him do whatever he pleased. I just stood there letting him kiss me. It hurt me...to see how he used me like this...but I said nothing for I didn't want to cause any trouble.
"I guess you aren't that special after all" He said quietly as he pulled away, making me look into his eyes. I notice that they weren't red anymore and that they were back to their own colours. "I thought you would be actually pleasurable...guess I was wrong"
And with that he pushed me aside and walked out the room. How can he say that? Was he even a man at all? It had stung, what he had said. But I wouldn't care...I would be out of this contest no matter what and I would never see this bastard again. I will make sure of it.
So I slowly walked to my bed and fell onto it. Today had been a bad day...maybe when dinner came, it would be better...I hope.
--
"Kagome? Are you alright?" Ayumi asked as we were all sat down around a big dining table. We were waiting until every one was seated before we could eat. And the only one that wasn't there yet was none other then the Sesshomaru Taisho. The bastard that insulted me and the one who took my first kiss.
"Yeah...I'm alright...just a bit tired that's all" I said as I faked a yawn. I really hope that I get eliminated soon. But it wasn't going to be easy, I knew I had to do my best. Even though I wasn't a prankster in my early years, I had learned from those who had pranked on me. And now, I was going to use it for my own good.
"Ah, you all sat down already?" Sesshomaru said as he came through a big door and sat down across from me. "Then lets enjoy our meal"
His eyes were on me, which shocked me...I quickly looked down at my food and started to eat...and then...A great idea came to my head. It was absolutely perfect! No wonder would've figured out something like this. It would be my greatest plan ever.
"Oh Ayumi...the food is really slippery I can't-" I started but my fork suddenly slipped and I quickly took the advantage to put some power and flicked a piece of potato which fell on Sesshomaru's head. "I am so sorry!"
"Kagome!" Kagura cried as she quickly wiped the potato off of his head with her napkin while using the situation to talk to Sesshomaru.
"I told you my food was slippery" I said as I looked at Sesshomaru. In my head I was clapping my hands, that was a good idea. I could see that he was looking at me...and instead of a angry or even a frustrated look on his face was a amusing smirk. I can't believe he thought it was funny.
That bastard, I bet he had already forgot our incident this after noon and now he's trying to make it seem like it had never happened by pretending to play a joke with me? Well I'll show him. Just to wipe that stupid smirk off his face and to show him who he was messing with.
"Oh my god Ayumi! This piece of steak is so-" I trailed as I flinged my steak as hard as I could into Sesshomaru's face and the whole table of girls gasped. Hehehe, I secretly sighed. This was heaven. If I didn't want to leave as quickly, I might have stayed just to play pranks on him. He was such a easy target.
"I am so sorry!" I cried again as I tried to throw some napkins at him which he caught with one hand. Ughh.
I started to rise from the table, my eyes starting to water. I had always had a nice time pretending to cry, and this wasn't hard either. I pushed my chair away as hard as I can which fell to the ground and I put my face in my hands. Sobbing with all the sounds I could make.
I peeked through my fingers to see Sesshomaru's head turned away, wiping his face with a towel that a maid had gotten him. I didn't want to see his anger so I decided to run for my room. As I got closer to the main door, I heard the other girls starting to whisper among themselves about how bad I was.
But that was what I had wanted.
