Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine. How sad!

"Get me Miroku now!" Inuyasha shrieked. The hanyou prince was not happy: Not happy at all. After receiving the news of his engagement from his brother, his brother…that bastard had stomped all over him. Rubbed it all in his face. Ridiculed him for making such a stupid deal.

"You called Inuyasha?" a lean man carrying a staff appeared. He was dressed in purple robes and looked unusually smug.

"Miroku! You knew about this too, didn't you?" The hanyou's asked.

"Hmm…knew about what?" Miroku asked, examining his nails. Of course he knew! And Inuyasha would've of known too if only his memory weren't so poor. He'd made that arrangement only 2 years previously.

"About that deal I made with those peasants!" Inuyasha shot out angrily. He was feeling very impatient at the moment and didn't need the monk's blunt attitude. He needed answers now!

"Inuyasha!" Miroku scolded. "They're your people, the least you could do is-"

"I don't give a damn!" Inuyasha blurted out harshly. He paced around his large chamber aimlessly searching for some answers. Why did he make such a deal? Promising to marry a wench when he could marry a princess.

"Calm down hothead," Miroku said while patting his friend on the shoulder. "You've got 2 months to decide on a proper woman"

"I don't want to marry a peasant!" Inuyasha complained. "Why did I make such a stupid offer to begin with?" He started whacking himself against the base of his bedpost. Miroku chuckled.

"Don't you remember?" he teased. "Things were getting out of hand, the people complained of your tyranny and so you settled for a bargain!"

"Oh shut up Miroku," Inuyasha said bitterly. Now he remembered…"So I've got to marry a farm girl, huh?" this question was more of a 'in your head' sort of thing but he had said it out loud.

"Correct," Miroku said happily. "And you've got 2 months to decided so good luck!"

"Wait a minute…" Inuyasha, said. "I've got only 2 months?"

"That's what I said" Miroku answered. He walked out the door and it closed with a silent thud.

"Arg! How could I get myself into such a tight spot?!" Inuyasha wondered. Maybe he'd just marry to get the whole promise thing over and then have her killed. Or he could abandon her! Oh the possibilities!

"Yeah," Inuyasha thought. "I'll hold my part of the bargain…but to a point" He smiled happily at coming up with such a great plan. But first things first, he'd have to find a suitable girl. There had to be some good-looking peasant out there somewhere. He certainly couldn't hold a ball.

"Ha! A ball for peasants…right!"

Inuyasha laughed at the thought of his castle full of girls dressed in rags. That's what a peasant is supposed to look like…or so Inuyasha thought. He ran a hand through his long silver hair and blinked tiredly.

"This takes too much brain power" Inuyasha complained to himself. "When this is all over, I'm going to kill Sesshoumaru!" He grumbled over his previous quarrel with his older brother. How he'd laugh at the fact that his hanyou brother would shortly be marrying a HUMAN girl.

"Grr…" the hanyou growled. First thing tomorrow, he'd take a little visit to the village and find some decent girl to marry. Inuyasha never thought about the possibility of being turned down. He was a prince after all and all girls wanted to become queens. No problem-o!
