((((CHAPTER ONE: REMEMBERANCE)))))

"Lord Daisuke, Lady Hikari, Lady Rena, this is our son, Sesshomaru." Lord Inutaisho said as he settled his hands on the shoulders of his son. Sesshomaru,who looked the age of 16, glared at his father and mother then glared at the three in front of him. A woman and a man stood behind a young girl. The father pushed the girl closer to him. She groaned and gave him a slight smile then bowed.

"It's a pleasure to meet your son, Lord Inutaisho and Lady Sukio. Lord Sesshomaru, please allow me to introduce myself to you. I am the daughter of Lord Daisuke and Lady Hikari of the Northern Lands. My name is Rey." The girl, age 10, told him with a sigh. The woman behind her gave her another pushed and the girl groaned once again. "I mean, my name is Rena and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Hmph, I am the son of Lord Inutaisho and Lady Sukio. My name is Sesshomaru." Sesshomaru told her coldly, earning a glare from his father but dind't correct himself. Sesshomaru and Rena glared at each other the whole time during dinner. The dix of the retired to the meeting room after eating a small dinner to discuss a few things of buisness.

"Lord Daisuke, I'm sure that you discussed with Lady Hikari about the propersition that has been offered by myself and Sukio." Inutaisho said and Daisuke nodded along with Hikari. Rena turned and looked at her parents, wondering what they were talking about. Inutaisho and Daisuke reached across the table and shook each other's hands. "This si a great thing we are doing for our Lands, Daisuke."

"I completely agree, Inutaisho. Finally, after years of fighting the Northern Lands and the Western Lands will come together and it's all because of our children." Daisuke told him with a slight smile. Rena continued to look at her parents, waiting for an explanation on what was going on. Her mother smiled and turned to her.

"Won't this be great, Rena dear? You and Sesshomaru are to be wed when you are of age." Hikari told her happily. Rena's eyes widen and one of them began to twitch. She couldn't believe what her mother told her. There was only a few years until she was of age, which was the age of fourteen. Sesshomaru wasn't handling the news very well either. He turned to his father glaring at him, demanding an explanation. The four adults smiled at the two.

"I know you two are proabably wondering why we had set this all up and not even ask how you felt about it but let me assure you that this is all for the best of the Northern and Western Lands. If you two are mates and take over the roles of being the Lord and Lady of the Lands, the two Lands will be combine under your rule. This is to expand our territories and to help fight against the rivaling Lands, the Southern and Eastern Lands. Another aspect is that we'll have a stronger and bigger army to fight against the other Lands just in case." Lord Daisuke explanation to the two. The four adults stood up and left them in the meeting room to get to know each other. Sesshomaru stood up as well, giving Rena a cold look.

"They may have decided this but I assure you that you will never become my mate. THe Northern and Western Lands will never unite while I'm alive." Sesshomaru told her very coldy. Rena scoffed and returned his cold look.

"Well, I could fix that if you want. Just say the word and I'll kill you just so you don't have to see it happen." Rena told him happily and seriously. Sesshomaru continued to give her a cold look as he went to the door and tried to opened it only to find it was locked. He began to try to break it down but it seemed that something on the other side was causing the door to become very hard. The inu sighed and sat down in a chair. Rena scoffed and smiled. "What? The Great Sesshomaru couldn't get the door open? Oh, no! What is the world coming to?"

"Shut your mouth, Kitsune. I highly doubt that you could get that door to open." Sesshomaru told her. Rena scoffed once again then stood up and went over to the door. She laid her hand on the door and a light began to emmit from underneath her hand. Soon there was a clicking noise to indicate that the door was now unlocked. She turned her head and smiled at Sesshomaru who glared back at her. Rena rolled her eyes and opened the door.

"Inus are such a pain. Well, I'm going to go find my parents then leave. I bid you farewell, Sesshomaru, and I hope we will never have to see each other again." Rena told him then left the room. Sesshomaru just continued to sit in his seat staring at the wall opposite of him. How he detested kitsunes and now he had another reason why to hate them even more.

----------

Sesshomaru looked down at the list of Lords and Ladys that would be attending the neutral meeting of the Lords and Ladys in a couple days. Her name stuck out like a sore thumb. It was the first name on the list. Lady Rena of the Northern Lands.
