They must live in the Northern Palace until Rin chooses putting pressure on Rin. O.O Her family gets assassinated, making her Lady of the Northern Lands and she needs a husband/mate quickly! That adds more pressure. Oh yeah, Guess who they point the finger at for the families death?
Now this story shall start.
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"NO!"
"Young Lady, you are nineteen years old! Stop acting like a child!" Rokuro yelled, in a kind father-like tone.
"But, Father!" Rin started, "You let me go, all of those other times! Why not now?" She reasoned.
"Because I allowed you to slip past this far too long!" Rokuro answered, "Why can't you be like Hotaru? She listens and she-"
"Hotaru! Hotaru! Hotaru!" Rin yelled, "That's all I hear from you and mother! She's twelve years old for goodness sakes!"
"She also acts more mature than you do!" Rokuro snapped. "You will get married and you will do it before your twentieth birthday!"
"That's more than five months away! Why are you saying these things now!" Rin yelled back.
"Enough!" Rokuro yelled, "I don't want to discuss this anymore. You will get married, that is that!"
Rin left her father fuming. She wanted to cry, she wanted to scream, and she wanted to just do whatever she can to get away from this dilemma.
"Rin!" A young girl called. Rin turned around to see her little sister, Hotaru.
"Good Morning, Hotaru…" Rin said smiling. Hotaru had a sad smile on her face.
"What's wrong, Hotaru?" Rin asked. She looked up at her and frowned.
"Father is mad at you and said that I was mature and you're not thing, didn't he?" Hotaru said, trying to keep her voice cool and calm.
Rin sighed and smiled, "Yes, but I am not mad at you," Rin looked at her face gleamed with happiness and gave her older sister a hug. She slowly hugged her back and gently let go.
"Where are you going, Rin?" Hotaru asked brushing off her kimono.
"I'm going to go and train, I'm bored," Rin smiled, since she was already in her training uniform.
"You always train," Hotaru laughed. "Why aren't you like other girls? They always like pretty dresses," she said twirling around in hers.
Rin shrugged, "I guess I'm not like other girls," she said and walked off.
-Western Lands-
"Why!" Sesshomaru growled. His father looked at him, but he didn't glare at him or anything. He just plainly looked at him. The wind blew in from the opened windows and made Sesshomaru's silvery hair fly past his face.
"Sesshomaru, your mother and I have talked through this several times, this is the first time we actually asked you to do something, that doesn't involve violence," InuTaisho tried to reason.
Sesshomaru growled out loud and his father laughed at him. He didn't take his sons threats too seriously. He huffed and walked out on his father. He slammed the shoji doors.
'Dear God,' InuTaisho thought and sighed, 'I hope Rokuro went as well as mine…'
Sesshomaru eyes were almost blood red, but calmed down when his mother walked to him.
"Sesshomaru…" her mother voice made him turn around to look for her. He faces her and looked at her straight in the eye.
"Sesshomaru, you have to understand this," Emi said. "Do you not want to be Lord?"
"Yes, Bu-" he was cut off.
"But, What?" Emi asked. She was the one who got Sesshomaru. She would be the only person so far in his life that he trusts the most.
Emi sighed and pulled her silver hair back, "Well, I leave this choice to you, your father and I won't force you. But it would make us happy,"
"He has told me who I will be marrying…" he said no more than a whisper, "She's a human…"
"I know you don't like humans, and I don't as much either." She sighed, "But remember…your father married a human and he has me as well," (Yes Lords can have more than one wife or mates)
Sesshomaru was angry at that thought. He wanted to go up to his father and punch him for mating with that human. His mother didn't take it any better than Sesshomaru but she was able to accept it.
Sesshomaru sighed and walked off, needing his own time alone.
-Rin in the Forest-
She practiced her swordsmanship and let all of her anger out that way. She was thinking so many things at once as she trained.
'What's with this family? Why do they want me to marry so badly! Whatever. You know what, it's just a stupid marriage, get married have a kid and get it over with right?
Wrong. Marriage is something special, and it is something that you must be positive of.
Uggghh! Why must life be so complicated!
She was snapped out of her thoughts when he heard rustling in the bushes. She took out her sword, ready to attack at moments notice. She looked closer with her eyes narrowed to see who it was but saw no one.
Suddenly a hand touched her shoulder. She jumped and turned around almost smacking the mysterious person.
"W-Who are you?" Rin asked, but kept the fear inside her.
The man smiled, "You forgot me already?" Rin looked closer and she almost jumped with happiness. She wrapped her arms around him.
"Naraku!" (A/N: Yeah I know what you're thinking…WTF?) she squealed. Naraku hugged her back and smiled.
"I heard about your arrange marriage." Naraku smiled. Rin smiled up at him and hugged him again, "I don't want to do it…" she sighed.
Naraku smiled, "Well, will it make you happy if I told you that I am one of the bachelors?" Rin squealed and almost tackled him.
"I will obviously choose you!" Rin jumped. Naraku sighed, "Your father said that you might say that … he said you have to give your other one a chance."
Rin sighed in defeat, "Fine…"
Naraku smiled a bit and walked back with Rin to her castle. Rin was chatting away with Naraku until Hotaru ran up to them.
"Rin!" she ran up to her and gave her a hug. Rin almost fell backwards, "Hey." She looked at Hotaru.
"Your other bachelor is here!" Hotaru clapped. Rin groaned, "Let me guess … I have to meet him?" Hotaru nodded and looked at Naraku, "Your one too right?"
Naraku nodded and followed Rin to see the new bachelor. Hotaru grabbed her hand making her stop. Rin looked at her, "What is it?"
"He's a demon, Rin!" she almost cried out loud. Rin stopped, "What kind?"
"Dog Demon!"
Rin nodded and started to walk with Naraku again. She saw a man with long silver hair blowing past his face. He was very muscular and Rin was lost for a second with his figure but Naraku snapped her out of it.
"RIN!"
Rin jumped. "Yes?" Naraku looked at her, trying hard not to glare.
"Are you sure okay?" he asked.
Rin nodded, and walked back to the castle the same place the man was heading. Naraku watched with slight bit of anger in his eyes. Rin ran inside and was caught by two maids who dragged her in her room.
"Where have you been!" they scolded her, "You were supposed to be here an hour ago! We must hurry!" They took out a beautiful dress. It was a sky kimono, with black roses on it. It was laced with black strings of silk at the ends. They helped her put it on, and put her hair down, and clipped a little back and other strands that covered her face up with barrettes.
The brought her down, to the meeting room. Rokuro was sitting down, with Sesshomaru and his parents. Rin's mother Tsukiko was sitting there was well as Hotaru. Naraku was there by himself waiting confidently for Rin. They all waited for Rin. When she walked in, Rokuro stood up.
"Where have you been?" Rokuro asked.
"Out?"
Rokuro sighed in disbelief of his child and sat down, urging her daughter to sit. Rin sat down to begin there meeting. Rin sat down and looked around.
'Oh boy…'
There you have it! Chapter one! What did you think? I had this for a while, and I am not sure if I should go on.
