15 YEARS LATER

It had been a long and hard day. Kagome had woken up and gotten dressed for the day just as usual. As she made her way to the dining room for breakfast she greeted the servants that walked by. Once she reached the dining room she found that it would only be her and Saika again. Ryuu had been working very hard lately and has not had any time to spend with them. Saika kept a strong face but Kagome could tell that she really missed seeing him as much as she did. The day went on pretty much the same as any. Her and Saika worked together, talked, and played around. They had a nice lunch and talked about all sort of things.

It was about dinner time and Saika decided she would go see Ryuu to see if he would be dinning with them tonight. Kagome decided that she would give them some time alone so she went to the library. It was peaceful there. She always felt safe there. She had read a great deal of books since she had been there. Kagome started walking through the rows of books. Now and again she would see one that brought back so many memories. She kept on walking not really sure of what kind of book she was looking for. She looked outside seeing that she had a couple of hours till dinner time and decided to just grab the first book that caught her eye. As she walked, nothing really grabbed her attention. She had walked through so many of rows by now, and she was starting to get annoyed. Then she spotted a bright red cover. She walked over and picked up the book. She then walked back by the chairs in front of the fire and began to read.

Saika knocked her husband's door and entered. She found him hard at work and she couldn't help but smile. When he looked up he was greeted by her smile, and couldn't help but smile back. She walked over behind him gracefully, and place her hands on his shoulders as she began to give him a massage. He started to relax and closed his eyes.

"You have been working hard I see."

"Yes, well something is not right," he stated as he reopened his eyes to look at the document in his hands.

"What do you mean dear?"

A long silence drew out and his face suddenly became cold. He leaned his head against the chair trying to relax as his wife gave him a massage.

"I fear the worse."

"Why? What is going on? You have been in this room for months. Tell me what is going on. I am the Lady of the Eastern Lands and your wife and mate. Tell me what is going on that has your attention everyday to where your daughter and I barely get to see you anymore.

"The Lord of the Southern lands has turned against us I'm afraid and going to start a war."

"Oh, my. What do the other Lords have to say about this?"

"They have reached the same conclusion I have. We need to fight back. There is no other way. Lord Naraku has gotten himself involved in some sort of power. It is too strong for one land to fight off by its self. We are going to have to join forces. The Lord of the North had agreed to join forces with me but the Lord of the West is still deciding I'm afraid. There is one thing though, if something happens to me Kagome would have to take over but she would need a man by her side."

"I see. Well you don't need to worry so much about Kagome dear. She is very strong. As for the Northern Lord we will do all we can to help you."

"Thank you dear."

"Yes, well it is time for dinner now so how about you come and eat dinner with your family."

"Very well," Ryuu said while smiling at his wife.

Ryuu stood up and started walking around his desk that he was working at. He then offered his arm to his wife which she gladly took. They started making their way towards the dining room. They walked in complete silence just enjoying each other's company. After a few minutes of walking they finally got to the dining room. Ryuu and Saika made their way towards the table. Ryuu then offered her the seat next to his. They sat down and Saika began telling him everything that he had missed since he had been working. Ryuu laughed at both Saika and Kagome for some of the stuff they had done. They both sat there laughing and talking until a maid came out with their food. After they dismissed the maid they started to eat.

"Where is Kagome Saika?" asked Ryuu in a curious voice.

Saika laughed and looked at her husband. "You know Kagome dear. She is probably in the library reading a book she found. You know it is all your fault that she is like that," she answered still laughing quietly.

Ryuu laughed in return and smile. "Yes, you are probably right."

"I'm sure she will be here shortly."

As soon as she had said that Kagome walked through the door with a book in her hands.

"Father!" she exclaimed happily as she ran towards him with open arms allowing her book to fall on the floor. Ryuu stood up quickly allowing her to wrap her arms around him and him wrapping his arms around her to hug her back.

"Ok, Kagome time to eat and let your father eat. He has been very busy and he needs to eat something. Even though he is a demon he needs food in his stomach. And you young lady need to eat also. Kagome laughed in reply pulling herself away from her father and taking her seat to eat. Ryuu sat down and began eating again.

"So Kagome I see you have found another book to read," Ryuu stated as one of the maids picked it up and handed it to him. He then handed it to Kagome with a smile on his face. "Do tell us what it is about so far."

"It is hard to explain father. But it truly is a wonderful book," Kagome said as she smiled.

"Well then, give us a summary dear. I'm sure you can do that," Saika stated.

"Well, it is a romance. It is so sweet. It is about a girl who has fallen in love with a prince but she is a village girl. She is doing everything she can to get him to notice her. And right now he is starting too. There is a lot more than that going on but you would have to read it to understand. It gets very complicated. And for some reason I don't think she really is a village girl."

"I see you were always one of those girl that loved romance stories," Saika said while smiling.

"Yes, she was. I remember when she was a small girl she always loved those little romance stories that I read to her," Ryuu said as he thought back.

"I remember that too," Kagome said smiling. "So father what exactly have you been working on? Oh do tell."

"You will find out soon my dear. But, it is not good. The Lord of the South has turn against us. I'm not sure of what is going to happen."

"But what about the other Lords and the Governors and Governances?" asked Kagome.

"As of now all of the Northern territories have agreed to join forces with us. As for the Southern only a few have the courage to join."

"What about the Western?"

"They have not decided yet I'm afraid."

"Oh, I see. Don't worry father I'm sure everything will work out."

"I hope you are right Kagome."

Just as he had finished his sentence there was a knock at the door.

"Come in," stated Saika.

"My Lady, my Lord there is a letter for you form the Lord of the West."

"Ah, thank you please give it to me now."

The maid then walked over and gave him the letter so he could read it. Once he got the letter in his hands he told the maid to leave. He then began to open the letter. He then read the letter to himself as Kagome and Saika looked at him eagerly waiting to see what the letter said. Ryuu then finished the letter and began to rub his forehead like he had a headache.

"Well darling what does it say?"

Ryuu looked up at them with concerned eyes. He then directed all his attention to Kagome.

"The Lord of the West has agreed to join forces."

"Oh, that is great father!"

"Yes, it is darling."

"But, there is a catch?"

"What is it dear?"

"He will only join if Kagome marries his eldest son."

"What kind of joke is this?!" Kagome exclaimed in an angry voice.

"Calm down Kagome."

"Oh, father please try to convince him otherwise. Please father, I beg you. I am not ready to be married. There is still so much I want to do."

"Ryuu does he even know that Kagome is not a demon?"

"No, he does not. No one knows but our subjects in this castle."

"Oh dear, what are we going to do Ryuu?"

"There is only one thing we can do. Kagome will have to merry his eldest son."

"But, father!"

"No buts Kagome. I am truly sorry, but this is the only way that we can make sure that this war goes right. Please Kagome for mother, our subjects, and for me."

Kagome pause for awhile thinking of everything that she had just found out and everything that had just happened. She sat there thinking long and hard. She was the princess of this land and she had to take care of it. Plus, father said that the Lord of the West did not even know that she is human. Not only that but Kagome had heard about his eldest son. He is said to hate humans. Not only that but he is very handsome, strong, smart and much more things. Many girls have thrown themselves at him, and some he took for a little while, others he just ignored. There is no way he would even look twice at her. Another thing she heard was his cold personality. So over all there was no chance that he or his father would accept her. But she had to try for her family and her father's subjects.

"Very well father. I will do it for you."

"Thank you Kagome. We will leave to see the Lord of the West and his son tomorrow. So make sure you pack tonight."

They finished eating and went straight to packing. To them hours seemed like minutes. By the time they had finished eating, packing, going to sleep, and waking up they had already started making their way to the Western Lands. It had taking them days to reach the castle of the Western Lord. But they finally got there. They all got out of their carriages and started making their way to front of the castle. Maids had run out and gathered their belongings. Kagome and Saika made their way to their rooms while Ryuu made his was to see the Lord of the West.

When Kagome reached her room she decided she would freshin up and change into something for presentable. She found the bath that was in her room and quickly undressed and stepped into the warm water. It felt so good. She began to relax and allowed the warmth to take over her. She then realized that at this moment she did not know when her father would call upon her so she washed herself and got out. She quickly went to closet to see that the maids had put all her clothes in there. She began to look through trying to find something to wear. She decided that she would wear is light blue kimono that had purple and white flowers dancing all across it. Making haste she went to a mirror and grabbed a brush. She began brushing her long black raven hair and put it up in a bun. She stepped back to take a look at herself. Liking what she did she sat down in the chair that was in the room and decided to take in her surroundings. The walls were white and there was nice dark wooden floors that. Her bed was quiet large with white and blue covers. The windows had blue curtains. All of the wooden furniture was a dark wood like the floors and had creative designs on it. The chair she was sitting in was blue. She also noticed a white rug under the bed. She took a liking to the room. She then decided it was time to relax until her father came and to get her. So she took out the book she had brought and began to read.

It had been hours later when Kagome finally heard a knock at her door. She got up from her seat and walked over to the door. She opened it to find her father standing there. She stepped aside allowing her father to come in.

"Yes, father?"

"Kagome you look lovely," Ryuu said as he kissed on the forehead.

"Thank you father, so when will I see the Lord of the West?"

"Lord Inu No Taishou has decided to meet you during dinner with his eldest son and his wife InuKimmi. Dinner is in ten minutes. I was just able to leave from talking to him and your mother. So I am sorry that I am just telling you. But, if there is anything you want to do please do it now. I will see you at dinner." Ryuu exited the room and started making his way to his room again to see his wife.

"Yeah there is something I want to do. How about run away from all of this." Kagome thought to herself. "Oh well, no since in turning back now."

Kagome then waited about five minutes. She then straightened herself up and began walking out the door. When she closed the door and turned around she run into something hard. She fell backwards onto her butt.

"Oh, what did I run into?" Kagome looked up only to find amber eyes looking straight into hers. It was a tall young demon. He had long beautiful silver hair and he wore a white kimono with blue and purple patterns on it. Over that laid his arm. He had two swords strapped to his waist. His skin was pale but beautiful. She could see markings on his face and wrist. They were amazing. She loved the crescent moon on his forehead the most. She just wanted to go over and trace it with her fingers.

"Watch where you are going wench. Are you just going to sit there and be silent or are you going to get up and apologize for running into me?" he questioned in a stern cold voice.

Kagome then got up quickly and straightened herself out once again and looked at this hot…not even hot but sexy demon.

"I'm terribly sorry. I did not see…wait just one minute!"

"What gives you the right to call me a wench?!"

"I do not have to have a right. I can call you whatever I want wench. Watch your tone with me or I will cut your tongue out."

"How dare you! You have no right to treat a guest this way! You should apologize to me!"

"I apologize to no one, especially a human."

"Oh, yes you will."

"Is that a challenge?"

"What if it is? Are you going to accept it or run away from it?"

"I run from nothing. We will see who apologizes to whom."

"Oh, yes we will!"

"I have somewhere I need to be so till again wench."

And in a blink of an eye he was gone. Kagome stood there dumb founded. Anger was following out of her as she made her way to the dining room. Everyone she pasted could feel the anger rolling off of her like is was nature. As she reached the door she stood there and composed herself before entering. She was on time which was a good thing for her. She then knocked on the door and entered. As she walked in she was greeted by her father who stood up and walked her over to the seat next to her mother and seated her. When she looked up she couldn't believe herself. She was sitting in front of the very demon she had just challenged. His face was emotionless. But she knew that he was smirking on the inside as well as being confused. She was confused as well. She then turned to face her father when she had heard him call her name.

"Kagome this is Lord Taishou and his wife and mate Lady InuKimmi."

Kagome nodded at them and smiled. "How do you do?" she stated in a sweet calm voice.

"It is very nice to finally meet you Lady Kagome. We are doing quite well thank you."

Kagome smiled and looked around. She notice Lady Kimmi, she was breath taking. She was so beautiful. Compared to Lady Kimmi she must be the ugliest thing in this room. Lady Kimmi noticing that Kagome was looking at her smiled. Kagome smiled back. Kagome then notice that there was another boy in between Lady Kimmi and that demon. He had long silver hair and golden eyes. She also noticed that he had dog ears. That's when it hit her. He looked a lot like Lord Taishou but also different. And the demon she was sitting across from look almost the exact same as Lord Taishou.

"Oh, no which on is the eldest?" Kagome thought to herself.

"Lady Kagome let me introduce you to my sons. The one sitting next to my wife his my youngest son Inuyasha."

He looked at her and nodded. Kagome did the same and then met eyes with the demon across from her.

"The one sitting next to Inuyasha is my eldest Sesshomaru."

He looked at her with cold emotionless eyes. Kagome wanted so badly to squirm in her seat but she knew he would notice so she kept composed and then it hit her. This was the demon she was supposed to marry. But before she could say anything Sesshomaru spoke first.

"Father how could you believe that I would marry a human?" his for cold and dripping with venom.

"I'm sorry son we just found out ourselves but she will do even better than you think."

"I refuse to marry a human. A human father. I am the most powerful demon sitting here and you expect me to marry a human?" his voice becoming colder and more harsh. "She is weak and unworthy to even stand by my side." Before Lord Taishou could even answer Kagome jumped in.

"How dare you! You don't even know me or even what I am capable of and you are going to sit there and insult me?! I will not have it."

"And what are you going to do about it wench?"

"Do not call me that!"

"I will call you what I please."

"No, you will not! I have rights and I deserve respect. Whether you want to give it to me or not you will!"

"How dare you challenge this Sesshomaru twice in one day."

"You are the one who is making this difficult!" Kagome said with anger filling her voice more than she wanted it to.

"I will not marry a human, especially you."

"Just you complaining about this shows that you are weak and afraid! If you were really as powerful as you say you would just go with the marriage and not say a word!"

Just as she said that Inuyasha spit out his drink and Lord Taishou eyes widened. Inuyasha began to roar in laughter. And couldn't stop. Lady Kimmi had a smirk on her face as she listened to the whole thing.

"How dare you insult this Sesshomaru," he said as voice filled with venom.

"Oh, she so got you there," Inuyasha said between laughs. "I like her father. Great choice for him."

"Indeed," Lord Taishou stated.

Sesshomaru then looked at his father and an idea sprung into his head. He would so enjoy this after all. He then composed himself and looked at his father.

"Very well, father I will marry this wench."

"Kagome?" Lord Taishou said with a questioning eyes.

"I will marry this demon," she stated with venom.

"Then it is decided," Lord Taishou exclaimed. "Now lets eat."

They all ate for a few moments in silence. Until the adults carried in conversation while Kagome talked to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru listened.

"So Kagome how is that you became the heir to Eastern Lands?" asked Inuyasha in a curious voice.

"That is personal if you don't mind. But I will tell you when I am ready."

"Very well, that is ok with me. So Kagome what do you like to do?"

"Well, I really enjoy reading. Um, I will pretty much do just about anything but I do love fighting. I usually train with our soldiers back at home."

"Really?! Aren't your soldiers the second strongest in all the Lands?"

"Yes, they are," Kagome said with a smile.

The rest of dinner carried off in conversation everyone talking except for Sesshomaru but they assured Kagome that that was normal. After a few hours of talking, laughing, and eating it all came to an end. Everyone said good night and started making their way to their rooms. Just as Kagome got into her room and closed that door she heard it open and close again quietly. She turned around quickly to find amber eyes staring right into her bright blue eyes.

"What are you doing here?! Get out this is my room!"

Sesshomaru then slammed her against a wall and covered her mouth.

"Ah, but this is my castle."

He then uncovered her mouth and looked at her. Her face was red. He then pinned her arms above her head and started bending his head down toward her neck. He could smell the change in mood. He liked it.

"What are you doing?! Get away from me or I will scream! I promise you I will!"

Sesshomaru then gently kissed her neck and she breathed in. He started placing kisses all over her neck liking her response from it.

"Stop it. Please stop." Kagome said.

He then took one of his hands and started lifting her kimono as he dragged his hand up her leg.

"Apologize for earlier and your insults during dinner and I will stop," he stated with a smirk on his face.

Kagome could not believe it. He was doing all of this for an apology. Oh, he so was not going to get one.

"No," she stated to him.

He smirk at her and said "Very well then." He then he started bring his mouth towards hers but then stopped. He then let her fall to the ground with a thud. "Until next time wench."

Kagome sat there as she watched him leave and she just couldn't believe it. He did all of that. Got her all worked up and then he just left. He was going to pay big time for that. She was going to make sure of that.
