Love Isn't Always Easy
The Meeting
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha La La La La La Laaaaa
AN: All right I think that I am probably going to just write narratively or whatever person (my sister and her friend didn't learn that crap and I can't remember -_-) because it is kinda hard to right everything from only a character's view not being able to just to describe. But sometimes I will throw someone's POV in just to kinda make it interesting. Yeah that is about it but remember PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!! All right bye bye now. ^_^ 3 Kiki
*Narrator*
Kagome's tears streamed endlessly down her face as she flopped on her bed slamming her fists on the pillows repeatedly. " Damnit, that fucking bastard he just can't marry me off." But before Kagome could complain about her dad anymore all of her anger was replaced with sadness and regret. All of her dreams that she has wanted to accomplish before here life of being a queen. She hadn't wanted to grow up and not be free from responsibility and just be able to enjoy life for what it is. After being sold off to a prince her life would consist of looking pretty and having kids and that is about it. Tears were now gliding down Kagome's cheeks as her body silently shook as she cried.
Sango came into Kagome's room and patted her back and gave her a hug. Kagome quickly hugged Sango back and dried the tears from her cheeks. "Its okay, its okay I'm here its okay." Sango said soothingly trying to calm the sobbing princess.
" It is not okay Sango I am getting married to someone I don't even know and I am only sixteen." Kagome sobbed but still trying to hold herself together.
" Kagome just calm down okay."
" Sango my fucking dad is marrying me off I will never get to accomplish riding one leg on each side learning how to sword fight to and exceeding level and all the other stuff because of my dad."
" Kagome I think you should just calm done and we can talk this over okay." Sango exclaimed trying to calm Kagome down.
" Just shut up Sango you don't know you are talking about and would you stop saying that I am wrong!" Kagome yelled.
" I am not saying your wrong Kagome I think that you should give the bastard a fucking chance and if you don't like him don't marry him!" Sango yelled at the top of her lungs.
Kagome stood up and stepped closer to Sango making Sango leap to her feet and step back." Sango I though you were my best friend." Kagome said very calmly. " A best friend is supposed to stand by your side. I thought that you were that or my best friend. but I guess I was wrong." Kagome emphasized the wrong as she turned on the ball of her foot to exit the room.
To stunned to chase after Kagome, Sango stood in the same position absorbing what Kagome had said. Sango walked slowly to the kitchens to talk to Kioko (Kioko is a girl's name and means - meets world with happiness and she is my character to all yous ^_^). All of Sango's thoughts were rapidly crossing her mind. Am I really being mean to Kagome by not agreeing with her? Should she tell Kagome she agrees with her but truly doesn't? Sango decided she shouldn't have to agree with Kagome every time she makes a decision.
When Sango got to the kitchen she smelt lamb. Mmmmm she mumbled to herself since she knew it was for dinner. She pushed the door open and saw Kioko trying to stir a pot of potatoes and trying to wash dishes at the same time. Sango approached the sink Kioko was standing next to grabbed a rag and started washing. " Hey what's Kioko?" Sango said coolly in a relaxed tone.
"Oh god Sango you know not to do that unless you want me to break more dishes then I do on my own." Kioko stated setting the dishes and letting the potatoes simmer and giving Sango a quick hug. " So what's up? I haven't seen you lately."
" I don't want to talk about it. Kagome just found out that she is going to get married to Inuyasha the Yasha's youngest son. And now she is in a twit about it and just because I don't believe the king is a in her words 'fucking bastard'. Sango whispered quietly so no one but herself and Kioko could here. " She hates me and says I not being a very good friend." Sango whined cover her face with her hands and sitting a stool.
" So she hates you because you don't agree with her?" Kioko asked Sango
" Yeah and that's why I came to talk to you to ask what you think. Am I being a bad friend by not agreeing with her? Or is she just overreacting? And if I am being a 'bad friend' should I tell her I agree with her and lie?" Sango moaned looking up at Kioko desperately.
" You know if I were you I would defiantly not lie to her but don't totally give your true opinion maybe add or subtract to what you opinion is so in truth you didn't lie you kinda exaggerated." Kioko tried desperately trying to act like she was very wise but wasn't doing a good job since Sango had know her for most of her life.
" Thanks Kioko, that kinda helped and try not to pretend to be wise to the people who know you better then you know yourself." Sango grinned as she left the kitchen heading towards the training grounds. Kioko a little surprised Sango had realized she was pretending but not totally since Sango did like know her better than herself picked up the dish she was washing and continued on her tasks.
Sango found Kagome up in a tree like usual with the hem of her yukata tucked into the sash writing quickly in a journal turning her attention every once in a while to the setting sun. " Kagome I kind of wanted to." but before Sango could finish Maemi kind of like the mailman tapped Sango on the shoulder.
" Lady Sango there is a letter form the Yashas to Kagome's parents but I think Kagome wants dibs on it first. But I'm not exactly that skilled in climbing trees so I guess you can give to her or her parents which ever you prefer." Maemi explained while handing Sango the letter.
" Thanks Maemi, see ya around." She waved good-bye.
" You too Lady Sango!" he called to her over his shoulder " Bye Lady Kagome hope you get out of your mood soon!"
" Its just Kagome and Sango no Lady in the front!" Sango yelled to him.
" A. Kagome there is a letter I bet is concerning your marriage thing do you want to read it or do you want me to read it?" Sango called up the tree.
" You read it I don't want to." Kagome barked from her branch without even turning around.
" Alright."
Yasha's response letter to the Higurashi's letter
Dear Lord and Lady Higurashi,
I except your offer for your daughter's hand in marriage for my son. We shall be arriving at your house on June 19 of this year. Please have guest bedrooms ready for us when we arrive. My son is very eager to meet your lovely daughter and engaged in a cherished bond like marriage between each other. Please when preparing my son's room he is extremely allergic to goose feathers so when preparing his bed do not use goose feathers in the pillows. Thank you in advance for your hospitality. Sincerely, Lord and Lady Yasha
Sango quickly folded the letter and placed it safely in the envelope. " Do you want to read it or do you want me to tell you the news?" Sango asked Kagome
" Just tell me the news." Kagome grumbled relaxing a little bit.
" Well you are getting married to Inuyasha by the parent view but you can always not marry him if you don't want to." Sango added to make sure that Kagome didn't have a tantrum.
" All right that sounds find show my parents but don't tell them about me not going to marry him if I don't like him all right."
" Sure, I'll be back in a few minutes." Sango quickly whisked off happy that Kagome took the news a little better then before.
Kagome waited patiently in the tree while Sango delivered the letter to her parents. The letter said they would be here on the 19th and is the 17th two days before I meet the person my parents think I am going to marry. I hope that Inuyasha is someone I will be able to get along with. Maybe I won't marry him but I would like to be friends with. The only type of friend I have had who is a boy is Maemi but he just the mailman. Kagome slid down the tree and walked into the forest. She wanted to be able to clear her mind. Everything is going so quickly. Within one week she had been told she is supposed to marry a complete stranger, the family of the 'stranger' says yes to their marriage she lost her her old fiancee and she lost her best friend.
She approached the old tree her, Sango and Kioko used to play on. The old tire swing that her dad had hung up when she was five was still slightly moving back and forth. She climbed on and pushed herself around and around just for the sake of it. After about five minutes of spinning she heard a crack. The next thing she knew she was on the ground, her bottom covered in dirt and a big red lump on the top of her head where the tree branch holding up the swing had broken off the tree. " God damnit. Stupid tree." She said to the tree as she walked away trying to dust off the bottom of her yukata. She heard Sango calling her name and telling her it is time for dinner. But Kagome wasn't hungry so she stayed in the trees in till she heard Sango run back to the palace yelling for Kagome's mother.
Kagome heard someone creeping up behind and before they had the chance to 'scare her' she whirled around and saw Kioko. " What are you doing out here?" Kagome asked a little surprised to find her out this late.
" I was looking for you. I heard about the marriage thing and that you were missing and I had a feeling you would be by the old tire swing since that is where you usually hide from Sango. So I came and found you." She said with a bright smile.
" Whatever Kioko." Kagome said nonchalantly waving her hand in the direction of the palace.
" You Kagome maybe you should try and cheer up about the whole thing. Sango came and told me how you guys aren't friends. I think you might have overreacted. Maybe you should tell her your sorry. She wasn't trying to say you were wrong." Kioko walked off to the palace leaving Kagome alone to think about what she had said. Kagome replayed what she had said to Sango that morning again in her head. She decided to apologize because she had been pretty rude. But that wasn't what she needed to focus just now she needed to be able appear at dinner without any one noticing she was late.
*Narrator*
Inuyasha packed all of his clothes jamming way to many in into the tiny suitcase. " Fucking suitcase." Said sitting on it and very roughly. What a boring trip just a waste. Maybe I won't kill her but just run away if I don't like her or don't want to marry her. Since it's a guarantee that I won't want to marry anyone why am I packing so many clothes Inuyasha thought to himself. Oh yeah fake the parents out.
" INUYASHA! ARE YOU READY!" his father from outside atop his white stallion. " WE WERE SUPPOSED TO LEAVE AN HOUR AGO! WHATS TAKING SO LONG?!" His father yelled even louder.
Not wanting to waste his time yelling just bounded out his room slid down the banister of the stairs threw his luggage into the coach and hopped on to his three-year-old chestnut stallion. " Would you yelling so much dad. It get really annoying really quickly." Inuyasha commented to his dad.
" Why are you an hour late? Now we are going to get there late thanks to you." Lard glared at his son.
" I was trying to get all my stuff ready dad. You don't have to bark at me for it." Inuyasha told his dad in a mocking tone.
" Just get moving." He barked at his son hitting his son's horse's rump making bolt away and making Inuyasha almost fall off. Inuyasha turned around and glared at his father after pulling his horse to a stop. Lord Yasha returned his glare with a slight smirk.
After the first scene only meters away from the castle the rest of the way to the Higurashi's palace was the same. Inuyasha messing with his dad while Lord Yasha messed with his son. Lady Yasha sighed with joy and annoyance as she watched this happen the 150 miles to the Higurashi's atop her 5-year-old golden mare. With amusement she watched as time after time Inuyasha and her husband fell off their horses into the gooey mud.
Lady Yasha watched with slight amusement for awhile but it became so predictable she focused more on the scenery then her family. The Higurashi's kingdom was so different from her own. She was amazed at all the different types of plants and animals she doesn't even hear Inuyasha talking to her.
Inuyasha was struggling to stay on his horse while his dad was pushing him trying to make him fall off his horse. Inuyasha wondered what Kagome would look and be like since her family was know for always having beautiful mikos like Kikyou the women he had wanted to marry but had never asked. His parents hadn't approved that Inuyasha should marry her they both had thought she was one of those weird people who would act nice to you but still weird then back stab you when given the chance. So they hadn't really approved of the marriage kind of discouraged him, but the marriage never happened because the night he wanted to ask her she was murdered out in the gardens of her home. That happened two years ago when he was fifteen years old. Kagome had been fourteen at the time and he could remember about her was she was in pajamas and had been crying a lot! But softly so you could hardly hear her and she smelled like salty lavender. He thought the salty smell was from her tears.
All of his daydreaming was interrupted by his mother's talking to him about all the different kinds of plants and animals in the forest "Feh" he thought to himself. I really could care less what she is talking about all he wanted to do was go home he thought to himself looking up at the clear blue sky. He started looking around at the scenery when he off in the distance he notices a rather large castle looking thing presuming that since it is the only castle in the area it is the Higurashi's. He pushes his horse a little faster and yells " Higurashi palace strait ahead!" Everybody looked forward, sees it and speeds their horses up tremendously plowing towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha stays ahead of the small band of people and horses when his father pushes in front of him and takes the lead. Taking this as a challenge Inuyasha chases after his father. Within seconds their horses are neck and neck fighting for the lead. But after ten minutes of speed racing their horses grow tired and go slower and slower and slower until everybody who was behind them has passed them. " Thanks a lot dad. Now my horse is dying of thirst." Inuyasha yelled at his dad dismounting his horse.
" It's not my fault. If you would have let me take the lead there wouldn't have been a problem." Lard Yasha barked threateningly.
" It is so your god damn fault!" Inuyasha glared at his dad.
" No I am the king I get the lead it is your fucking fault!" Lord Yasha barked starting to growl to low for a human ear to hear.
" Whatever." Inuyasha said leading his horse ahead of his father to get some space between each other. God, parents are so annoying. I wander if they are always going to be this way? Inuyasha thought to himself. By the time Inuyasha had finished grumbling about his dad he had arrived at the palace gate. They opened slowly as the guards saw him. He walked in looking at how clean and tidy the place was. Not that he expected it to be dirty or anything but was surprised that it looked like someone had swept the dirt. " I think I am dealing with neat freaks." He mumbled under his breath to himself.
He walked his horse to where his mother's was and left him next to her. Inuyasha approached the castle and climbed the stairs quickly and knocked on the door. A maid scurried to the door and greeted him kindly and escorted him to the throne room where his mother was. She happily was talking to the queen in that little gay voice laugh she does. " Oh hello Inuyasha dear, this is Lady Higurashi, Kagome's mother." His mom said in a sweet, out of tune voice.
" I'm not dear." Inuyasha growled.
" It's a pleasure to meet you Inuyasha. I haven't seen you in ages." Lady Higurashi said hugging him gently. He flinched when she touched him. He quickly replied " Nice to meet you too." He said with a scowl on his face. Lord Yasha walked into the throne and was quickly greeted by Lord Higurashi who shook both of their hands at different times.
" Welcome, I am certain you are eager to meet my daughter?" he asked.
" Yes." Inuyasha tried to sound eager but must have sounded bored because his dad shot him a glare once he was done.
" Please fetch Kagome, Kioko." Lord Higurashi clapped his hands and the girl who had greeted the family quickly left the room running to Kagome's rooms. Within minutes Kioko returns pulling Kagome by the wrist into the throne room.
" What do you mean Inuyasha is." she didn't finish her sentence because as she entered the room she saw her mother and father next to who she presumed was Lord and Lady Yasha and in the center of the room was a teenager who she also presumed was Inuyasha. Kioko let go of her hand and left the throne room leaving Kagome stunned. Inuyasha was almost as stunned as she was but didn't show it. She looked almost exactly like Kikyou, that same raven like hair with the pale complexion but she was a little bit shorter then Kikyou and her eyes were a deep, shimmering blue color that made her look alive and happy. Unlike Kikyou's dark gray eyes that always made her look sad even when she was smiling and she always kinda looked dead. No this girl didn't she looked rather alive but her eyes were vibrant blue because she was surprised.
Kagome walked toward Inuyasha and asked, " Are those real?" pointing at his ears.
" No I stuck them to my head to look like a dork." But before he could finish Kagome had stood on her tiptoes and was pulling on his ears.
" Bitch, stop that!" Inuyasha yelled.
" But you said they were fake so I am seeing if they can come off." Kagome explained still pulling on his ears.
" I was being sarcastic." He barked slapping her hand away pretty hard.
" Ow that hurt jackass." Kagome said holding her hands close to her chest. " Okay that was an excellent first conversation. Why don't you show Inuyasha where his rooms are honey?" Lady Higurashi smiled.
" Fine." Kagome growled storming out of the throne room in a huff. Inuyasha followed rubbing both since she had pulled both really hard out of the throne room.
" I am so sorry that my son was so rude." Lady Yasha explained. " He just isn't used to this place so he is kinda grumpy."
" We are sorry that our daughter called your son a jackass, she hasn't been herself lately." Lady Higurashi said. Both families worried that how could the two married if they couldn't' even stand five minutes together.

" It's not my fault. If you would have let me take the lead there wouldn't have been a problem." Lard Yasha barked threateningly.
" It is so your god damn fault!" Inuyasha glared at his dad.
" No I am the king I get the lead it is your fucking fault!" Lord Yasha barked starting to growl to low for a human ear to hear.
" Whatever." Inuyasha said leading his horse ahead of his father to get some space between each other. God, parents are so annoying. I wander if they are always going to be this way? Inuyasha thought to himself. By the time Inuyasha had finished grumbling about his dad he had arrived at the palace gate. They opened slowly as the guards saw him. He walked in looking at how clean and tidy the place was. Not that he expected it to be dirty or anything but was surprised that it looked like someone had swept the dirt. " I think I am dealing with neat freaks." He mumbled under his breath to himself.
He walked his horse to where his mother's was and left him next to her. Inuyasha approached the castle and climbed the stairs quickly and knocked on the door. A maid scurried to the door and greeted him kindly and escorted him to the throne room where his mother was. She happily was talking to the queen in that little gay voice laugh she does. " Oh hello Inuyasha dear, this is Lady Higurashi, Kagome's mother." His mom said in a sweet, out of tune voice.
" I'm not dear." Inuyasha growled.
" It's a pleasure to meet you Inuyasha. I haven't seen you in ages." Lady Higurashi said hugging him gently. He flinched when she touched him. He quickly replied " Nice to meet you too." He said with a scowl on his face. Lord Yasha walked into the throne and was quickly greeted by Lord Higurashi who shook both of their hands at different times.
" Welcome, I am certain you are eager to meet my daughter?" he asked.
" Yes." Inuyasha tried to sound eager but must have sounded bored because his dad shot him a glare once he was done.
" Please fetch Kagome, Kioko." Lord Higurashi clapped his hands and the girl who had greeted the family quickly left the room running to Kagome's rooms. Within minutes Kioko returns pulling Kagome by the wrist into the throne room.
" What do you mean Inuyasha is." she didn't finish her sentence because as she entered the room she saw her mother and father next to who she presumed was Lord and Lady Yasha and in the center of the room was a teenager who she also presumed was Inuyasha. Kioko let go of her hand and left the throne room leaving Kagome stunned. Inuyasha was almost as stunned as she was but didn't show it. She looked almost exactly like Kikyou, that same raven like hair with the pale complexion but she was a little bit shorter then Kikyou and her eyes were a deep, shimmering blue color that made her look alive and happy. Unlike Kikyou's dark gray eyes that always made her look sad even when she was smiling and she always kinda looked dead. No this girl didn't she looked rather alive but her eyes were vibrant blue because she was surprised.
Kagome walked toward Inuyasha and asked, " Are those real?" pointing at his ears.
" No I stuck them to my head to look like a dork." But before he could finish Kagome had stood on her tiptoes and was pulling on his ears.
" Bitch, stop that!" Inuyasha yelled.
" But you said they were fake so I am seeing if they can come off." Kagome explained still pulling on his ears.
" I was being sarcastic." He barked slapping her hand away pretty hard.
" Ow that hurt jackass." Kagome said holding her hands close to her chest. " Okay that was an excellent first conversation. Why don't you show Inuyasha where his rooms are honey?" Lady Higurashi smiled.
" Fine." Kagome growled storming out of the throne room in a huff. Inuyasha followed rubbing both since she had pulled both really hard out of the throne room.
" I am so sorry that my son was so rude." Lady Yasha explained. " He just isn't used to this place so he is kinda grumpy."
" We are sorry that our daughter called your son a jackass, she hasn't been herself lately." Lady Higurashi said. Both families worried that how could the two married if they couldn't' even stand five minutes together.
