The Wedding that Ended In Death

I knewI was to be wedded to Sesshoumoru at the age of 8. Apparently my parents made some shady deals with his father and they lost all that they had.
including me. Of course i had no say in the matter, i mean how could i? Being a woman and all. Yes living the life of a princess isn't always peaches and creams. Yes,
i am the heriess to the throne. So Sesshomaru will enherit the throne and me, Kagome Higurashi, the most beautiful princess of the Eastern lands...well thats what everyone i meet tells me, but i know they just dont want to lose their heads. So back to the dreadful event...it takes place after my 16th birthday, which is in two weeks...lucky me...:sigh: i dont know why i dont just runaway, somewhere far far away...but its no use, my father has guards at every corner of this wretched castle.
Hopefully the castle in the Western lands is more fitting for someone like me. I have also been debating whether Sesshoumaru will be attracting to me. I hope that he isn't some fat old fart that sits on his throne all day and bosses servants here and there. i will be so dissapointed...but thats the breaks i guess.

I searched my entire room for my favorite gold hairpin, but it was nowhere to be found, of course. My dreadful mother must of took it. She's so obssesed with looking her utmost best for everything. Its so tiring. She brags about her good looks so much, that everyone in the castle despises her. I dont blame them, if i wasnt her daughter i probably would hate her as well. She always complains that i dont "act like a lady" when guests are visiting. All she does is waltz around flaunting her body at the young lords. Sometimes my father gets so furious with her that he makes her rest in a seperate room at night. My poor father...he doesn't have long to live and it will kill me when i have to live in the Western lands with Sesshoumaru. The day i leave is nearing...and i dread it. But also, im quite nervous...what if Sesshoumau is quite attractive...what if he doesnt think im pretty enough:sigh: why do i even care anyway...he probably has a dozen mistresses, i wouldnt be surprised if that was the truth...his family is the most richest in the country so he probably has women falling at his feet. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock at my door.
"Yes?" i answered.
"Kagome, its your mother"
i sighed and streched. "Come in"
My mother slipped in and locked the door behind her. She walked to the far end of the room. "Kagome, there has been a change in plans. You are to wed Sesshoumaru in 6 days. We will leave for the castle in the morn. Get some rest"
She left before i could object. i just stared at the wall where she stood before. And as i felt the tears tumble down my face i realized that i hate her. i know that she had something to do with this mess. I wont talk to her...at all. i can't believe this! This is so unfair! Why did they have to do this to me? i wont stand for it!

Inuyasha moaned. "Mom i dont care if Sesshy boy's little wife is coming! So why do i have to get all prim and proper? Im not the one getting married you know," Inuyasha complained jealously.
"I know, i know but i want you to look your best for our guests." Inuyasha's mom slicked back his hair.
"Mom! Stop!" Inuyasha ran his hands through his hair, messing it up.
"Oh Inuyasha you are impossible!" his mother said as she got up from the satin couch. "Get yourself ready young man!" she told him.
Inuyasha sighed. "Fine, fine now will you leave me in peace"
"Hurry Inuyasha. They will be here any moment"
Inuyasha closed the door on her and rolled his eyes. "The hell if i care." he muttered as he walked out onto his balcony that overlooked the royal entrance. He saw a carriage approach. 'Well there she is' he thought. 'Shes probably as ugly as they come.' he thought smiling to himself. "That'll give Sesshoumaru somthing to be cheerful about" he said aloud. He saw the carriage door open.
