Destined Love
Chapter 2-To Despise

~A Gentle Scent~

Kagome bit her lip to keep silent. This was the man she had just met outside the hall!

Instantly she realized that the door he went through led to the hall, but she had thought he was just a spectator, like everyone else.

Somehow, Inuyasha felt her eyes on him and unglazed his bored eyes to look at her too.

He had the same sort of reaction, but he was successful in keeping his bored expression and stifling his gasp.

Wasn't this the girl he had ran into outside the hall?

The really, really beautiful one?

The sad one?

The one he wished he was marrying instead of whatever stuck-up, bratty human princess he had to marry?

For the first time during the whole ceremony, he looked at his bride and his brain started working again.

Kikyou?!

Inuyasha's heart jolted. Then he calmed again.

No. She just looked like Kikyou...looked a lot like Kikyou.

But her eyes, blue-gray, were different from Kikyou's brown ones.

He assured himself that it wasn't Kikyou. Discreetly taking a sniff, he realized her scent was different. Much gentler than Kikyou's.

But the similarities couldn't be ignored. Her eyes held the same sadness, deep down inside that Kikyou's eyes had.

Inuyasha shivered, not liking that at all.

What were these humans thinking: giving him a mate that was almost a double of Kikyou?!

Inuyasha clenched his fists in the fabric of his kimono at his sides to avoid crossing his arms and settling into his usual pose. This affair was much to formal.

Damn. He hated formal things.

His mind slowly drifted to other things and his eyes developed a glazed sort of look and he completely ignored the proceedings.

Unknowingly to him, his breaths became deeper as he slowly relaxed in the prescene of this girl. The one that wasn't Kikyou.
~Hate~

Kagome had turned away from his eyes after seeing them widen. Obviously he was also remembering their little enounter in the hall.

Kagome gritted her teeth. She had almost liked the guy. But...she felt so angry at him! He was the reason that she would been taken away from her family and friends and her own people. Of course, she convienientely forgot that Sango, her only friend was going with her and she didn't really love any of her family that were still alive. But the isolation from her own species was terrifying to her.

So, being Kagome, she took her anger out on Inuyasha. He was the reason all this was happening to her. It was all his fault. All his fault...

Her anger simmered, until it built up a wall around itself. No one can convince her otherwise, it was too late. She hated Inuyasha. Hated him since it was all his fault.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

O.o, kinda an angsty chapter, I guess. But I need Kagome to hate Inuyasha for now. It's very important to the plot. See ali's review reply if you're confused!

Review!

Next Time:
Miroku is introduced into the plot. Sorry Sango, had to do it sooner or later.

Sango: "Don't even think about it!"
Miroku: "But Sango dear!"
Sango: "..."
Miroku: "..." *grin*
Sango: *twitch, beats him with Hiraikotsu*
Sunny: "If you don't want him, I'll take him."
Sango: "...no..."
Miroku: "You love me, Sango!" *glomp*
Sango: *knocks him unconscious and drags him off, glaring evilly at Sunny*
Sunny: *blink* ^_^;

CTRNikkiM~ Thanks, I liked this idea too. Actually, it popped into my head and I had to write it!

Miaka~ Sure, I've got half of chapters 3 & 4 done already.

ShellBabe~ Thanks for the compliment!

laura~ Hugs, yay! Thanks!

MoonChild~ Thank you, I'm glad you like my story!

Sweety64~ I'm planning to continue this story!

Kango~ lol, ^_^

ali~ Thanks, and as for your question, Kagome does like him when she first sees him since he seems pretty nice and all, but she is a teen and teens are rebellious. Would you like to be forced into an arranged marriage? ^_^, anyway, her anger's just a little misplaced and she blames him. So to answer your question, she does hate him right now but as the summary says...^_~ Plus, all plots need some sort of bump, right? It makes the story interesting.
