Hiya! I'm Moon Wolf. This is my very first fanfic, so please be blunt. If you like it, tell me, if you don't, tell me, but please let me know what I could fix, otherwise your criticism won't help me at all. I tried to convey the characters correctly, but some, like Kagome, for instance, I changed so that they fit their role in this story. After all, I'm the author, so I can twist their personalities a little. **laughs maniacally** Anyway, in this fic, Kagome and Inuyasha are full demons, as is Sesshomaru (duh!), and I'm still thinking on who else I should have in here. I might have Sango and Miroku, but give me your thoughts on that. (Damn, this is long!) Updates may or may not be slow; it really depends on how fast inspiration comes to me. I won't say that I'll only update if I get such-and-such amount of reviews, because, honestly, if only one person reviews, I'll probably continue just for that one person. But, reviews do help! **smiles** and I wouldn't mind a hand-full of them **holds out basket with sign 'Reviews' on it** Anyway, I'll let you get to the story now; besides, this is a damn long A/N! **looks over what she wrote** Dang!

Disclaimer:

Oh, by the way. I…I…I…**counselor stands over her encouraging her to say it** I don't own Inuyasha! Okay? Happy now? You've destroyed my dreams! How's it feel? Huh? **cries uncontrollably** Oh? I can buy Inuyasha? **sniffles** Yay! **grabs Inuyasha and hugs him tight before throwing him into closet** Nope, I don't own him. He's not here. **shakes head while standing in front of shaking closet door** **Feds come to take me away**

Unwanted Love

Chapter One

***___***___***___***___***___***___***___***___***___***___***___***___

Lifting her eyelids just a crack, the she-demon looked about her room. Sunlight danced across the fur-covered stone floor. The large window seat had a beautiful view of her northern mountain valley home, and the beautiful bed in which she lay was carved from an ancient, sacred wood. Three intricately carved doors graced the walls, leading to the hall, her closet, and the last to her other chambers. All in all, her bedroom wasn't very big, but accommodated her nicely.

"Get up, Kagome! The sun is already shinning!" a loud voice hollered from down the hall. Sighing in annoyance, Kagome threw back her soft covers, walked to the hall door, flung it open, and growled back down the hall,

"I'm up! Sheesh! Can't a girl get some beauty sleep?"

"My dear, if you were anymore beautiful, Mother Nature herself would look dull," a strong, masculine voice came from her left.

"Father! You startled me!" Kagome yelped in surprise. Then she blushed lightly at his compliment.

"Come now, daughter, have I taught you nothing? You should've sensed me coming, but I'll let it pass for now. Besides, you're probably excited about tomorrow." Lord Raemeire (her father) smiled at her and continued down the hall.

"Yeah…real excited," Kagome muttered to herself. In all truth she hated the fact that she was betrothed to some inu-youkai that she hadn't even met, not even once! She figured she was too young to be married off anyway. She was only seventeen, for goodness sake! 'Oh well, I guess I'd better get dressed.' she thought. Turning from the hall and shutting her door, Kagome slipped out of her flowing nightgown and began putting on her usual clothes. The action made her slightly angry as she thought about how tomorrow, someone would come into her room and actually help her dress! Like she needed any help! With her clothes on, Kagome went to her full-length mirror and surveyed herself.

Her delicately featured face was turned down in a slight scowl that did not, surprisingly, take away any of her beauty. Her eyes were a sapphire blue with golden flecks darting through them like fire, and her full lips were painted a light, rosy pink. Dark, sapphire blue stripes ran down her face on her cheeks, and the symbol of a sun eclipsed by a half-moon was on her forehead. Ebony hair with bluish-gold highlights flowed over her shoulders loosely, locks falling forward to frame her lovely face, and her slender neck held an ancient symbol of her Clan on a choker-like silver chain. Her slim but strong body was covered by a dark green bodice that came down in a V from her neck and up in a smaller V from her stomach, showing her flat tummy. Between the V's of her shirt, beaded strings hung from another string that was tied at her back. The shirt coasted down and flared slightly at her hips, and the sleeves of her outfit were long strips of shimmery material that was attached at the shoulder. (A/N: Am I giving a good visual picture?) A long black skirt with slits up to her mid-thigh covered her long legs, draping to an inch above the floor. Her fluffy black tail with the same bluish-gold highlights as her hair wrapped itself about her slender hips.

Satisfied with her appearance, Kagome slipped her feet into her moccasins and dashed down the hall to the main part of the cave where they lived. Their home was nestled at the foot of a mountain, lush grasses of the valley sweeping from their doorstep and leading off to the forest. The valley and forest were home to many peaceful youkai, and all of the evil demons had been chased from this area long ago. This was the Northern Lands, and Kagome's father was the taiyoukai here. Their clan of hundreds of inu-youkai all lived in that mountainside. They all had their own caves, of course, but they all lived together. Many traditions, laws, and rituals constricted their lifestyle, but at the same time, kept the peace. The inu-youkai had lived here for a long time, and these time-honored traditions were kept sacred.

Going into the living area of the cavern, Kagome saw her father, her mother, her grandfather, and her younger brother, Souta. Greeting them with a smile and nod, she went on to the kitchen. There she asked Dayrie, their cook, if there was any fruit.

"Yes, child, in the pantry over there," the elderly demon said, her plumb body covered in an apron. The sweet cook always treated her like a young pup, but Kagome smiled at her affectionately. Nodding her thanks, she went to the pantry and reached for the basket of fruits. Her graceful arm reached upward towards the basket on the tall shelf and she became slightly frustrated at her inability to reach the basket or even grasp a fruit. Getting an idea, Kagome lightly hopped up and stuck her claws into an apple, effectively snagging the fruit, and landed gracefully back down on the stone floor.

"Thanks, Dayrie! See you later!" Kagome called as she half-ran to the gardens outside.

Once there she split the apple into slices with her claws and began munching on her snack as she contemplated the upcoming day. Her thoughts turned to her betrothal unbidden, and her mood darkened drastically.

"He and that lord of the Western lands arranged this marriage without even asking how I felt about it! I mean, I could've been in love with someone else or something!" At that, her mind reminded her that she wasn't. 'He still could've asked, even if I'm not in love with another demon.'

'He's your father and the taiyoukai, he doesn't need to ask for your permission on anything.'

"Yes, but because he's my father he should've respected my opinion enough to ask me if I wanted to marry some sleezball young lord!" Kagome seethed out loud unintentionally.

"That's not fair, dear. You don't even know what he's like and your already judging him," the gentle voice of her mother came to her sensitive ears, tearing her from her internal battle with herself. She looked towards her mother and sighed.

"I know, but I would've liked to get to know him first. Instead of being thrown into a relationship that I'm not sure either of us want." Kagome folded her arms across her stomach and looked up at her mother. Lady Araime was always very understanding, and she proved that she hadn't stopped being so as she laid a comforting arm about her distraught daughter.

"It's alright, Kagome. You'll get to meet him first. That's why you're leaving tomorrow, so you can get to know him before you two are married."

"That's the whole point, Mama, what if we don't like each other? What if we despise each other?" Kagome asked fretfully. Her mother just smiled comfortingly and hugged her daughter close before rising to leave.

"You'll like each other, I believe. And if you don't, you'll learn to eventually." Her mother's voice floated back to her as the demoness walked back into the cave. Kagome put her elbows on her knees and rested her chin on her hands.

"But what if we don't?"

That's it! Sorry the chapter was so short, consider it a teaser. Let me know if I should continue the fic, or just go back to reading them. **nods head hopefully**

Again, if you want me to add someone, tell me who and how. Like what their role is/could be. Who knows? I might use your ideas. Also, speaking of ideas, if you have any for me, let me know! **pulls out a large notepad and begins scribbling down ideas** Cause I think I just ran into a slight block! *BANG!* (And it hurt!) I know where I'm going with it, I think. **looks at directions on map and then at road sign** Gah! I've been going the wrong way! **shrugs** Oh well, I guess I'll keep going and see where it leads me! But, seriously, any thoughts are greatly appreciated and anyone who reviews, I'll thank you personally on the next chapter as well as give credit where it's due to those who suggest any ideas I use.

Until next time!

Ja-ne!
