Kagome sighed. She was at a stupid ball, that would start off the month of the courting festival. She hated these things, especially when they were for her. She was totally against the idea of arranged marriages and even though she at least had a small say in who she would end up with, she still refused to participate more than she had to. All she had to do was smile and look pretty.
Kagome made her way to her brother, Sesshomaru, who just so happened to be standing by one of the refreshment tables. She grabbed a handful of chocolate and stood next to her big brother.
"Where's Rin?" She asked, curious about his wife whom he actually loved.
"She couldn't attend. She didn't feel too well ." He replied.
Kagome sighed. Rin was always sick and she felt guilty for not being able to go be with her.
After a few minutes, Kagome couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed two more handfuls of chocolate and walked out to the balcony, hoping to be away from all her stupid suitors.
"This is so stupid." She murmured, after swallowing the large amount of chocolate she had stuffed in her mouth.
"Agreed" came a low, husky voice behind her. Kagome snapped to attention and turned around to see one of her suitors. He had long silver hair, like her brother, and wore a bored expression on his face. She felt slightly uneasy with him considering he was one of her possible future husbands, but that uneasiness was replaced with anger at his next statement.
"You sure you should be stuffin down all that chocolate?" He asked.
"Are you trying to tell me I should watch my figure or something!?" Kagome yelled back, completely fed up with this stupid guy.
"Keh. Hell no! I just thought maybe you should leave some for the rest of the guests instead of hogging it for yourself!" He answered. It was then that Kagome noticed that he had dog ears, and that they were... Twitching? Kagome smirked as a comeback came to mind.
"Oh I'm sorry did doggy want some? Maybe you should beg. Oh wait, dogs get sick from chocolate right?" She asked feigning innocence.
The silver haired man did nothing to hide his annoyance. He growled softly and Kagome burst into laughter. After she picked herself up off the floor, she introduced herself, deciding it was better to make an ally than an enemy.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi. You probably knew that though." She said, wiping a few years of laughter from her eyes.
"InuYasha Takahasi." He replied.
After that, Kagome found herself spilling every thought she had about this stupid courting thing to her new friend, and inviting him to spend the afternoon with her tomorrow after brunch with the suitors.
" I have a preposition for you, new friend!" She squealed. "You help me deny all the suitors. Or, if I actually find myself liking one of them, you can help me get to know them and decide if I should marry them. I'll do the same for you, too!"
Surprisingly InuYasha agreed and they exchanged phone numbers. After that, Kagome went inside and tried to feign sickness so her mother would excuse her from the ball.
Ok so that's the first chapter of this new story. I don't know if I should continue it, especially since I have my other story, A Twisted Fairytale, to worry about. If I do continue this story, I most likely will only update like once a week. In the meantime, you should go ahead and check out my other story that I update daily. It's a Sesshy/Kag AU Fic. *Shameless advertising.* Anyway, Adios!
