(The date back is in ancient Japan.)
Kagome sat in the back of the room, listening to the council discuss the marriage issues of lady Kikyo. Kikyo was head priestess of the Shikon Shrine, and sister to lower class priestess Kagome. She was to marry either Lord Naraku or Head Master Onigumo for that they were whom the council decided to be the best companion for her.
The council consisted of demons and humans of the high class. Kagome was not able to come near them or speak to them for she was of the lower class. The high class was the life of luxury, and high pride of which many people envied. But Kagome envied her sister, for that she was able to live in the Shikon manor, and her beauty was so great that many high nobles and lords proposed to her. Kagome on the other hand wasn't even noticed by barely any men.
"Lady Kikyo you have a choice to marry one of these men. Lord Naraku is to which you owe much for his kindness and also to Head Master Onigumo. You have come past the age to marry, you must marry now. For that you have no choice. This marriage is important for the peace of demons and humans" announced the Head council man Kiro. Head council man Kiro a handsome man, though in his middle ages was quite muscular and wise beyond his years.
"Yes, indeed you must for that this peace is important. All head demons and head humans are obligated to marry one of the other species for that this shall help the peace." Lady Ura added. Lady Ura, a beautiful cat demon, with hair long and black was a fore seer of the future and her wisdom great. She wore a beautiful kimono made of the finest silk, and was wife and mate to Head council man Kiro.
"But why must I marry when I do not know either of them! I don't love either of them!" Kikyo shouted to the council.
"Kikyo, you shall learn to love them and they shall learn to love you as well." said Head council man Kiro.
"You may choose or we shall decide for you?" Lady Ura asked.
"I leave the decision to you. For that I don't have the heart to decide." Kikyo answered.
"All of you leave this room while we decide on our decision. We shall call for you." Head council men announced.
Kagome got up from where she sat to comfort her sister. She ran to her as she was leaving the room saddened by the this conflict.
"Kikyo!" Kagome called as she caught up to her. "Kikyo, are you ok?"
"No.......Kagome, I'm being force to marry how am I supposed to be ok....." She answered in an upset tone.
As they started coming closer to the exit a young demon wearing red robes approached them.
"L-Lord Inu-yasha....."Kagome said shyly as she backed away from her sister. Inu-yasha loved Kikyo more then anything.
"Kikyo is this true! That you are going to marry!" Inu-yasha shouted as he pushed Kagome out of the way.
Inu-yasha didn't even know Kagome was alive. Really no man knew Kagome was. She was just a loner and probably always will be.
"Kikyo! You can't marry them I'm the only one that can have you!" Inu-yasha shouted hugging her tightly.
"Inu-yasha you must let go! I have no choice but to marry them!" Kikyo said.
"Inu-yasha! Stop this non-sense at once!" ordered Lady Ura.
"Why should I? I deserve to be with Kikyo!" Inu-yasha shouted.
"We have come to decision and Kikyo shall marry Lord Naraku!" Head council man Kiro shouted above the ruckus.
"This isn't fair!" Inu-yasha argued.
"It is quite fair Inu-yasha. Though you are at age to marry but Kikyo is much older than you. You two are also not meant to be as said by our prophet." Lady Ura told him.
"Your prophet is nothing but hell!" Inu-yasha shouted.
"Inu-yasha do not speak to the council in such a manner!" Sesshomaru told him firmly as he entered the argument.
Lord Sesshomaru, half brother to Lord Inu-yasha, Head ruler of the Western Lands, and husband to Lady Rin daughter to head priest.
Rin was also in the high class for that she was a healer. She was also quite beautiful and well rounded. Her Long ebony hair
"Who are you to say what I can't do!" Inu-yasha shouted at his brother.
Kagome watched them shout at one another. She wished she could help but she was not aloud to speak or approach the head demons and humans. She was saddened by the fact that she was the only one there that was in the lower class. Then she noticed Lady Ura looking at her.
"Kagome!" shouted Lady Ura. Kagome was surprised that she knew her name. Everybody was so surprised they stopped shouting to know that there was someone else there.
"Y-y-y-e-s L-Lady Ura" Kagome stuttered.
"Kagome, come with me." Lady Ura commanded. Kagome nodded and followed her into the main room of the manor.
Lady Ura sat down on a cushion, and poured some tea into a cup.
"Please sit." Lady Ura Insisted
"You are the sister of Kikyo are you not?" She asked.
"Yes." Kagome answered as she sat down in front of Lady Ura. Kagome awed at the beauty of the room. They were beautiful paintings on the walls, and silk cushions placed on the bamboo wood floor; the nicely carved rice paper doors, and the bamboo weaved carpet.
"I see you are quite fascinated at this room. Yes this room is indeed quite remarkable. Well enough of that. Kagome aren't you also at age to marry?" Lady Ura asked.
"I am? It doesn't matter no one would marry me......." Kagome thought sadly.
"Kagome do you have any thoughts of marriage at all?" she asked.
"Well...not really..really..um..um.." Kagome was stuttering at the question, blushing.
"I see... you really have no thoughts at all do you...Kagome I know you're quite afraid to talk to me, after all I'm a demon, but you have to calm down. This conversation is quite important...it's about your future..." Lady Ura said in a steady tone.
"Lady Ura, I really do not think I shall have a marriage in my future for that I am in nothing more but a priestess of the lower class. I am honored that I am able to speak to you in this manner but I am not worth-..." she was cut off by Lady Ura.
"Kagome, you a bright girl, and you're soon going to be a women. Do you really wish to live your life alone?" Lady Ura said.
"..........................No.........." Kagome said sadly at the truth.
"There is no need to be upset Kagome...Kagome I know you've had a some what liking of Lord Inu-yasha." Lady Ura said.
Kagome was shocked that Lady Ura would know that. She never told anyone that she had a crush on Lord Inu-yasha. A blush began to form around her cheeks.
"How- how d-did y-you kn-know...?" Kagome stuttered.
"It was really just a guess but now that I know... I have proposition, would marrying, Lord Inu-yasha?" Lady Ura asked.
"W-WHAT! AH- um huh ahaha uh.......Lady Ura...I am sorry but I am not able to for that I the lowest class of a priestess...and also I have no honor in my name to wed at all." Kagome said shyly and a little upset at the truth.
"Kagome, I am sorry to say this but you have no choice into whether you can marry Lord Inu-yasha or not. It is for the council to decide. sigh Now...let us go back to the others." Lady Ura said in a serious tone while getting up and opening the door.
Kagome was stunned, but upset about this. "If the council says yes to this will I be happy or will I just shame Lord Inu-yasha........" Kagome thought as she followed Lady Ura.
Kagome could he shouting and arguing about Kikyo's marriage. Kagome didn't want to step out there she just wanted to run away, but she knew if she did they would surly catch her.
"Head council man, I have proposition for the council. We shall discuss this immediately. You shall all wait here. For our answer." Lady Ura announced.
"We shall be back with our answer soon." Head council man proclaimed as he entered the manor with Lady Ura. "Sesshomaru I leave you in charge" Head council quickly added as he closed the door.
