What Fate Decides... Part 5

"Sessho-maru, I have chosen you a bride," Lord Inu no Toshi proclaimed.

Sessho-maru look as though he was about to argue, when Kagome spoke, "If you have chosen a bride for Sessho-maru, then why was I called here, M'Lord?"

Sessho-maru took notice of the nervous gleam in her eyes, but his father did not seem to notice and was all to happy to enlighten her.

"I have called you here because I have chosen you to be my son's wife!" he replied cheerfully.

She shivered slighly as she watched him leave. This was a nightmare! She had absolutely no interest in Sessho-maru, now she was being told to marry him. She did not believe that he could have any real interest in her, maybe her body, but not her. No, he thought of her as properity.As soon as he married her, he would do as he pleased with her then discard her like a worn piece of clothing that he no longer had any use for! She would find a way to get out of this marriage! She had to...
