What a way to spend her birthday! First she gets up to her mother pulling out outfits for her date/nightmare with Hojo. Then her training teacher forgot to show up, so she waited to long and got caught in the rain! CATS HATE RAIN! So she went home to find her parents weren't home and were out shopping and wouldn't be back till about 5:00 which was 3 hours later! Now she was here, in her room wereing an ichy dress that was way too tight and too short.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

'That'll be either the grim reaper or my date' she thought with a slight smile. She walked to the living room and opened the door, there she saw a very tacky looking and a very nervous Hojo. He was wearing a gray suit with a yello dress shirt under it. ( it may not seem that bad to u, but the vision i have in my head. Yeah its like old skool tacky) She put on an incredibly fake smile, "Hey Hojo"

He gave her a nervous smile, " H-Hey Kagome, R-Ready?"

She smiled, more at his nervousness than anything, "Yep. So where're we goin?"

Ok so they go on the date yada yada blah blah 2 hours later...

Kagome and Hojo were walking back to Kagome's house. It was about 7:00. He had tryed to propose to her all evening but somthing allways stoped him. Whether it was someone bumping in to him or somthing falling over to distract him, he never finish what he was going to say. Not that Kagome was complaining. Hojo was a nice boy but he was to boring and safe. He had no thrill about him. No fun or excitement. To her, he seemed like the kinda boy you marry if you want to be safe, and have no one else.

They were walking along the path to her house, when Hojo stopped beneath the large tree in the front yard of her house, and took her hands lightly in his, "Kagome" he said, nervousness ringing in his voice," I love you" he said bluntly, he pulled out a little black box from his pocket " will you marry me?"

Kagome knew that this was comming. Even though she thought he was to plain for her She thought ' Maybe I should, so I won't feel as akward anymore.' but another part of her mind retorted with 'but you don't love him' her other side stated his claim plainly, 'but you could'

She decided to go with the side that said yes, after all if she had a mate she wouldn't feel like a weirdo anymore. So she squealed jumping up and down in fake joy. She gave him a big (cough..fake..cough) hug, nodding yes.

He leaned down to kiss her but she turned her head so he only kissed her cheek. He frowned but quickly got over it when he saw her smile at him. He looked at the sun then gasped, " Oh my gosh. Its past my curfew. I gotta go Kagome. I'll come over tommorw so we can move your stuff to our new house.". He started walking down the walk way.

When he was at the end he turned around and shouted " I LOVE YOU!"

She nervously lied"I-I LOVE YOU TOO". She turned around and went inside. She went up to her room and put on a pair of baggy red paints and a red tank top that tied around her neck.

She walked outside to her back yard were she took off running to the field where she was yesterday. She could always go there to think about anything.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ONE HOUR AGO:

Inuyasha walked up to Kagome's two story house, and knocked hesitantly on the door. He was nervous. He was meeting the girl that was going to be his mate. He waited. Until his very keen ear pick up a conversation inside of the house, between a man and a woman.

'I feel bad for making her go on that date' the woman said

'Honey' the man said back 'its the right thing. She needs a mate'

He stoped listening after that. So his soon-to-be-mate is out on a date? Thats not good. His eyes went red for a second, but he snapped out of it by shaking his head. She'll just have to be punished...later.

He decided to wait for her in the big tree in her front yard, it reminded him of a tree that he spent alot of time on at home.

ONE HOUR LATER:

He saw two figures walkingup the walkway to the house. One of them looked to thin and curvy to be a man, so he guess it was Kagome. When they got closer, he looked more intently on the girl. She was beautiful. Even thought he had seen her practically everyday for the passed like 6 years, it was no comparison to seeing her in person.

He watched as the man with her stopped them only a few feet away from the branch he was sitting on. He angrily watched them man express his feelings for his future mate, it pissed him off to no end. He wanted to jump out of the tree and rip his small head clear off his body, but held himself back, not wanting to make a bad first impression.

He watched with great restraint as he proposed to her. He had to bite his lip when she said yes. His mate wasn't supposed to run off with other guys.'Well shes not your mate' something in his mind said.

' Well I have a right to be mad. Shes my intended, and I...even though I've only been watching her for the past few days I feel like we belong together and, I've gotten to be possesive over her. Shes mine. End of story. And besides, why would I

listen to my human half about this?' He told the voice as he watched her go inside.

He jumped to a tree that was closer to her room. He watched as she got undressed, and redressed in his favorite color. ' DON'T WATCH YOU IDIOT! Shes not your mate. And besides what if she really loves him?' his human side said.

The voice had not mananged to do anything but annoy and piss him off. ' Well she WILL be my mate, and do you think I give a damn if shes in love with anybody but me? All that means is I'll have to try harder to get her to fall for me" he said as he watched her leave her room, he heard the back door slam shut and guessed it was her. He jumped over the house landing in the backyard. 'Maybe shes not here' his human half said.

Inuyasha lifted his head in the air and sniffed, 'Oh shes here. Quite a quick little bitch. Lets catch up.' And with that said he took off running full speed.

He found her in an open field, laying on the ground asleep. He looked down on her and couldn't help but smile. She looked like an angel when she slept. So sweet and innocent. He moved closer to inhale her scent better. So beautiful, with a scent that is just as attractive. He leaned even closer, now only a foot away from her face.

Kagome was asleep but she could feel someone near her. Then they got closer, like invading her personal space close. She just ignored it. Probably a chipmunk or somthing. Then the someone got even closer. Wait it had an aura! It was a demon! And it was...sniffing her? Why would a demon sniff me? She opened her eyes to look into two golden ones not 1 foot from her face.

She paused for a second, then let it all out. " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" she yelled making him back up and fall on his but.

" Owww, wench. Don't scream so loud! " the strange boy yelled covering the ears on his silver head. Wait. Silver? Then he must be a...

"Are you a god?" she asked random-like to the boy.

He smirked showing a long fang, "Yes, I am wench. And you are my betrothed. The name's Inuyasha"

She stared.

BLINK

BLINK

" What?" she asked a little calmer than she thought she should sound.

He rolled his eyes, " You. Are. My-"

"No, No. I got that part. Its just...why me?" she asked cacking her head to the side," I'm just a normal demon. You could probably find som-"

"Thats where you're wrong my sweet little miko." he said seducively all the while crawling closer to her. Her scent pulling him the entire way.

Her eyes widened, "How did you-"

" My parents saw you the day you were born. They picked you to be my betrothed because you're the best of the best." he stated simply, he was now sitting as close to her as he could possibly be without being on top of her. "so now you will come to live in heaven with me and my family, and you'll be my mate."

She looked at him confused, furrowing her eyebrows trying to look like she was in deep thought. She brought her finger to her chin and tapped it lightly, then shook her head, "Uh..you know what? Thats not gonna work for me" she said all smartass like " I am happy staying here with my friends." She stood up, and started walking home. She was too tired to run.

He just stared at her as she walked away, amazed. Then he smiled. In the blink of an eye he was standing in front of her wearing a cocky smirk, " Its so cute how you thought it was a question. Well, sweetheart, it isn't. Your going! End of disscusion!" he folded his arms.

She just looked at him, shocked, "Look dog-boy, I don't care if you are a god. I'm not going with you any where!". She was staring to get pissed! This guy wasn't taking a hint! She attempted to get past him by stepping to the side but in the blink of an eye he was back in front of her, closer now, his face only inches away from her's.

"I'm gonna make this very simple. You'll come with me now, or I'll be forced to use force. And you won't want that" he stated alittle angry that she ws making this difficult.

She popped her knuckels, " You won't mind if I defend myself, will you?"

"Course not. I like a challenge" he smirked down at her.

"Good, 'cause thats excatly what I'll be". She faced he direction of her house. She brought both of her first fingers to her mouth and whistled very loud.

With his keen hearing, he could hear the whistle of wind. Something was comming. He looked in the direction to see somthing tiny flying toward them. It was a dagger in a small sheath. It was flying directly at Kagome. It started to slow down when it reached them, until it was mearly floating. Kagome grabbed it and tied the sheath to her pants. "Ready!" she said cheerily.

He looked at her then at the dagger. It couldn't have been even a foot long! How would she hope to defeat a god with a butterknife? His parents could pick strong and cute, but they were scrapping the bottom of the barrel for smarts. He looked at her and chuckled, " How are you gonna defeat me with that?" He said pointing to the dagger.

She hit her head, "Duh!". Then she slowly un sheathed the dagger, which wasn't a dagger at all! When she had it all the way out, it was about half as tall as she was. It's sheathwas metal with a grip that looked to be covered in stripps of animal skin. At the upper part of the grip there was a losely tied peice of rope. At the each of the ends there was a feather tied. She waved the sword like it was nothing.

She took a fighting stance, "Okay, lets go. Can you keep up with a cat, dog?" she smirked

He growled but unsheathed his sword the Tetsuaiga, " Save the dirty talk for bed, angel " he smirked.

They both lunged at each other swinging there swords. The sword clashed in a firery show of sparks. The swords repeled each other and transformed into there smaller selves. Kagome inspected her now dagger. " Apparently our swords don't want to fight each other" she said sheathing it in it's sheath, " oh, well. Hand-to-hand from now on dog boy."

He growled, " Fine wench". And attacked her. She moved out of the way just in time to do a round house kick to hit him in the head. When her foot came in contact with his head (after the pain) he grabbed her foot and twisted it, sending her body in a full twister motion in the air. She landed on her feet.

They both bonded back about 10 yard from each other. ' This is going to take longer than I thought' they both thought and ran to attack each other again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Up in heaven, Inuyasha's parents looked down at there son and smiled. " This seems oddly familiar. Doesn't it dear?" InuTaiso said to his wife.

She looked up at him and smiled, " Just like us" she hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, " Now lets go prepare Kagome's new room. She'll be here for a whole year! It'll be like having a daughter!"

InuTaiso raised his eyebrow, "What makes you think she'll win?" he asked following her to their son's wing of the palace.

"Oh just a feeling" she said mischieviously (sp? sorry I'm blonde) and walked into the room connected to her son's.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome landed one blow and rebounded back to her spot. They had been fighting for what seemed like ages. They had both gotten there shares of blows and they were both exhausted. But neither of them would show it.

'Damn, my parents really know how to pick 'em.' Inuyasha looked at the now setting sun, ' SHIT! I gotta end this. NOW! Cats can see in the dark so she'll kick my ass'.

In the blink of an eye he was behind her arms around her waist . He kissed her neck and whispered "sorry". She was about to turn around but he put two fingers to a pressure point on her neck and she fell limp. Unconcious. He picked her up bridal style.

Inuyasha knew she would be pissed when she woke up, but he didn't care. He looked at the beauty in his arms. Not only was she beautiful but she was deadly as well. He closed his eyes and he was teleported to heaven.

OK peoples in case you were wondering. Yes it IS like our time so they have electricicty, but Kagome lives in like a place in Japan were there's still villages. Thanx
