What Fate Decides Part 6
Kagome stared out the window of her room, and sighed. Lord Inu no Toshi had proclaimed that she would wed his son,Sessho-maru, whom she had no desire to marry. Luckily for her, the Lord had to go into battle far to the east of his own lands, and since he wished to see his son's marriage, he postponed it until his return. It seemed, at least to her, that fate had played soom sort of cruel trick on her. To be doomed to a loveless marriage and a hopeless future with a man she could care less for.
Sessho-maru was supposed to be a human-hating, ruthless, and uncaring demon born of high stature. Now, he was acting strange. Sessho-maru had not trusted her in the beginning; he had made quite clear that her presence was to his disliking. He stalked her around his father's grounds looking for a chance to accuse her of being a spy! The night before, she had caught him spying on her while she had been a swimming. She figured that it had to be pure lust that made him want to take her as his wife.
Kagome shivered; she dreaded the thought of him having his hand's on her, knowing that he would have every right to do so. She shook her head and tried not to think of the impending wedding. She had to think happier thoughts or she would completely break down and be declared insane, and even that could not stop the marriage.

"GET BACK HERE!!!"
Miaka and Katona ran as the heard Kalika shout after them. She had found out about their meddling in the course of events yet again and messing up. They had made things worst then they already were.
Katona yelped as Kalika caught hold of the kimono that she was wearing. She shrank back, in fear, as she looked up at the older fate, who seemed livid at what they had done.
Kalika had grabbed Miaka by her ankle and the second youngest fate was now suspended upside down.
"Whose idea was this?"
The two younger fates pointed at the other and this did not give Kalika any answer for all her troubles. She dropped Miaka and rubbed her temple where she could feel a large vein trobbing.
"I guess it doesn't matter whose idea it was, the both of you are at fault for this," she grinded through clinched teeth. "This time leave things alone! Besides you're going to help find a spell to set things back to the way they were before the girl arrived here and send her back home."
The older fate turned on her heel and left.
"We better listen this time."
"Agreed."
The fates knew that they were lucky this time, and were not about to screw things up, especially after being given a second chance.

Sessho-maru grinned as he thought of his bride's furious looks and angry glares. He couldn't wait to claim his prize, but he would have to wait for the marriage to go forward. If he went to her now and tried to make claim to her, she would deny him, but after they were married, she wouldn't be able to stop him. He would have his way with her!
He heard laughter and turned to gaze out his bedroom window. He watched Kagome and his younger, half brother playfully chase each other back and forth. His brother chased her right at her heels, then she would turn and then he became the one being chased. Gales of laughter rose through the air, and Sessho-maru watched, jealously, at the playfulness he knew that he would never be able to bring out in his bride.
Sessho-maru leered at his younger sibling with utter contempt. He would destroy that thorn in his side once he had his chance. He would have to be patient and bid his time.
The little mutt had wriggled his way into the affection of the woman he craved would return his feelings... she was cold toward him and couldn't stand to be near him. Well, at least he would have her body if not her heart!
He let out a cold, dry laugh and decided to intrude on their fun. He leapt out the window and landed softly in front of them. He stopped to listen to their conversation. They were now seated on the ground and had taken no notice of him.
"Little Inu-chan, do you know who you remind me of?" Kagome asked the little half-demon curled up in her lap.
He shook his head and looked up at her with curious eyes. "You remind me of my little brother, Sota, when he was your age...God, I miss my family. I-I'll probably never see them again," she sobbed and Inu-Yasha buried his small round face into her kimono. She held the little boy in her arms; it brought her an inkling of comfort.
Kagome looked up to see the some what softened face of Sessho-maru. She let out a startled gasp and backed up. Her blood stopped racing from the shock and her breath slowed.
"Shouldn't you be tending to Lady Sakura?" he snared as he watched her slowly stand and begin to brush past him.
He caught her by her fore arm and she glared in annoyance at his hand, then wrenched it free of his grasp.
"I was given permission to have a few hours to myself, but since my time has been so rudely spoiled by you, I shall go back to my duties," she replied coldly and picked Inu-Yasha up. She walked toward the house and did not look back.
Damn! Sessho-maru ran his fingers through his long, white hair and cast an angry look after her. Why did he even bother chasing after her?! She clearly had no interest in him...but, gods, he wished she did... he would make her love him even if it took years! She would be his and his alone...
