"I present this to you daughter," he said handing her a bag that looked like it came from the mall. Kagome opened it and saw three Kimonos and a sword. "You may change into the red one and then we need to talk." He said. A servant escorted Miroku, Sango, Shippou, and Inuyasha to the Gardens. (sorry it cut off there)
"Thank you," Kagome said. She had a feeling that she shouldn't trust her father for some reason.
"Daughter, you need a mate before your sixteenth birthday, it's important that you do because of your social status, do you have anyone in mind? If not, I have arranged for someone," Higurashi said. Kagome didn't answer.
"I'll give you two days to figure this out on your own otherwise I have arranged for someone," he said. Kagome appeared at the garden.
"Kagome, what did he say?" Inuyasha asked.
"If I don't have a mate in mind before two days, I will be arranged with someone he chooses," Kagome replied.
"I want-" Inuyasha started to say something but stopped himself.
"You want what?" Kagome asked, looking around the garden.
"Feh, never mind, it doesn't matter," Inuyasha replied.
"Where's Miroku, Sango and Shippou and Kirara," Kagome asked. Noticing they weren't around.
"They're at the lake, Sango and Miroku wanted to be alone for a while," Inuyasha replied.
"I'll be back, I just want to walk around for a while," Kagome said.
"Fine," Inuyasha said.
Kagome walked into the trees and sat down at a bench. She looked through the bag and pulled out the sword. She fingered the blade and then looked at the handle then she put it back and noticed a short, ugly toad demon standing in front of her.
"Kagome-sama, milord, Sesshomaru is here to see you, you are his mate to be," he said in that nervous voice of his. Sesshomaru walked up to him and kicked him to a tree.
