Me-I don't own Inuyasha but I wish that I did D
The Wedding that ended in Death-------------------------------------
I groaned as we approached the castle. "Well here we go" I said aloud. It was a good thing my parents took a separate carriage, for I had been spewing out offensive words throughout the whole journey. As the footman helped me descend the steps of the carriage, I examined the exterior of the castle, and it was magnificent. Giant fountains of water were placed the entrance of the castle. I almost laughed aloud when I saw that they had stables and a lake. 'Maybe it won't be so bad here,' I thought to myself. Just then I saw a young man upon one of the balconies. I stared at him, and he I. 'Who is that' I wondered. He couldn't be a prince for he dressed in no royal garments. His hair was kept long and it was hung down hi back like the black mane of a handsome horse. His eyes were of an amber, hazel color and as they bore into mine I saw a great sadness in them. Then all of a sudden he vanished. 'What a strange man.' thought. 'Handsome, but strange.'
"Princess Kagome," my servant Sango said.
"Yes, my dear friend?" Sango and I met when she came to live at our castle a few years back. She is older than I, but only but a few years.
"It is time to go inside," she said hastily.
"yes, all right."
We were guided through the giant castle and herded into the dining hall. Tables were lined up with food, and servants surrounded us with refreshments.
"No thanks," I told one of the women who handed me a goblet of wine. 'Maybe that man will be here' I thought, wondering if the boy would show up. Again my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone's footsteps.
"Ah, the Higurashi's have arrived!" the King of the Western lands exclaimed as he approached us. I looked around for my suitor but there was no one but the King in front of us.
"How was your journey, Demetri?" Demetri is my father, no one calls him of that name unless that someone is a King himself.
"Fine, fine. But where are your two young men? How old is Prince Inuyasha?" my father asked.
"Inuyasha will be seventeen in a month or so, but Sesshoumaru will be eighteen in 3 weeks, which is why we had to move up the wedding date, more sooner that the original." he stopped and looked at me. "Well, Princess Kagome Higurashi. You are more beautiful than the stars that shine in the night sky. Prince Sesshoumaru will be very happy to hear of your arrival, but he's in the stables cleaning his dreadful stallion. My dear, why don't you join him down there? One of my servants will take you."

Inuyasha watched his father and the Higurashis talk. He heard his name and growled. 'Great she knows my name.' he thought. 'Where the hell is that obnoxious brother of mine? His future wife is here and he's cleaning that stupid horse of his.' he sighed in annoyance. 'I guess I'll have to go him'
And with that said, Inuyasha hurried out into the gardens to fetch Sesshoumaru, but he did not know Kagome was on her way to the stables.
"Madam, we have arrived." the servant told me.
"Thank you for your assistance." I told him . He bowed and walked back.
I entered the stables and saw a man at the far corner brushing a black horse. I guess he heard my footsteps for he looked up at me, gave me a smile and I melted inside. He stood up and walked over to me.
"Princess Kagome, my you've grown up." he said looking me up and down.
I blushed. "Thank you my Lord."
"Please don't call me "Lord" call me Sesshoumaru." he told me.
"Alright." I moved toward his horse, so that I could catch my breath. "What a magnificent horse."
"His name is Shadow, for his extremely dark skin." he laughed.
"Oh, ahaha." I laughed quietly, the way a princess should.
Sesshoumaru took my hand and led me out to the gardens. "So my lady, how do you feel about this arranged marriage?"
"Well, I…I've had some doubts, but since I've seen the castle, and you," I added hastily. "My worries have gone away."
He looked at me and laughed. "Princess Kagome, you must've thought I was some ugly, fat prince who couldn't get a wife on his own. Ahahaha," he laughed some more, and I couldn't help but to join in.
Sesshoumaru looked up and grinned. "Ah, dear brother…how are you today?"
I turned to see the boy from the balcony. I blushed, and looked at the dirt ground.
"I'm fine I was just wondering if you found your new wife, but it looks like you have so I'll be on my way."
"Wait, Inuyasha. Don't be so rude." Sesshoumaru said and pushed me toward his brother. "Kagome, this is Inuyasha my younger brother." he then turned to Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, this is Kagome, my beautiful fiancé."
I bowed before him. "it's a great pleasure to meet you, Prince Inuyasha."
He just looked at me, then bowed. "I've heard a lot about you Kagome," he told me as he looked into my eyes. I felt my heartbeat quicken. "Enjoy your stay," he added. He looked at Sesshoumaru one last time and turned to walk back to the castle.
"He seems like a nice man," I told Sesshoumaru.
"Yes my poor brother, he's so jealous of me." Sesshoumaru said as he shook his head.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I get the throne Kagome, and you."
