Hello it's me with a new chapter! Hope you will enjoy!
Chapter 4: The Engagement
Kaede was finally prepared for the next part Inuyasha's story so Inuyasha continued.
Flashback (narrated by Inuyasha)
It was junior year at Tokugawa University and I was having it all. I was the captain of the kendo team and I was going out with Kikyo Okimoto. Many girls envied her and although though she threatened all of them, my locker was always filled with love letters. My life was perfect.
Interruption....
Kaede mutters, "Yes, I'm sure it was"
"What the hell was that supposed to mean?" yelled Inuyasha, who was angry at being interrupted again.
"Inuyasha, I just don't understand what that has to do with anything." Kaede answered in a calm yet slightly irritated voice.
"If you will let me finish, you will see what it has to do with anything!" Inuyasha was getting quite irritated with Kaede but he still went on.
Story resumes....
Anyways, the world as I knew it was about to come to a screeching halt one day. I had already arranged to spend the day with my girlfriend but I will never get the chance.
When I came home that night, my parents and half brother were already waiting for me, which was kind creepy. It also didn't help that they all wore emotionless expressions on their faces.
"Inuyasha, get dressed." ordered my father after a few seconds of awkward silence. I didn't know what was going on so I wanted to find out. When I asked my father why he wanted me to dress up, Sesshomaru answered me in an irritated tone. "Don't ask questions, Inuyasha! Just do as you are told do as you are told you idiot" I decided to ignore him and get dressed up which took me about an hour. When I finally came out my family had looks of annoyance on their faces. "Took you long enough!" Sesshomaru muttered under his breath. Of course I ended up exploding. "What the hell do you expect? You bast- "Inuyasha, enough of this foolishness and get into the car!" My father commanded and with that he walked out the door with a fierce look on his face. Mom followed but she offered me a sympathetic look as left.
Interruption
Kaede shook her head and gave Inuyasha a reprimanding look. "Inuyasha, you really should have been more respectful to your elders, Inuyasha. Inuyasha stared angrily at Kaede. "Respectful to who, Sesshomaru? That asshole? You're kidding right?" Kaede sighed "I am not kidding but I am not going to argue with you right now. I just want to know what led to your current situation."
Inuyasha smirked "Nice choice, hag only, stop interrupting every 5 seconds. Anyways... Back to the past...
The scene was now in a Mercedes Benz jeep. Inuyasha's Father is driving and this when Inuyasha starts to talk.
We going to some place but for some reason no one in the car wanted me to tell me anything. So I did the only thing I could nagging. Of course...it didn't work. It just caused a low and angry growl to come out from the driver's seat. "Stupid half breed!" my brother muttered under his breath. "Sesshomaru, do not call your brother a half breed." warned my mother. "He also did call me stupid as well," I had said, attempting to get Sesshomaru yelled at some more. Sesshomaru gave me one of his infamous clod smiles and was about to strike back but my father suddenly exploded "That's because you are an idiot son! Now I want silence for the rest of this ride! Keep you damn mouths shut! And we did.
Before we knew it we stopped and got out in front of some mansion. It was so old and ugly... like someone I know. It was abandoned and had ivy growing all over the place. But that wasn't important because when we finally went inside, it was way better. Dad led us through this long hallway and at the end; I saw an old portrait of an old man with strong features. He looked creepy and he was stroking an old fat cat. In another room there were, to my surprise an entire staff of business workers. I was still clueless about my being in this place. "Yamato!" I turned to the direction of the voice. It was a man in his early forties with similar features of the old cat lover in the painting. There was a woman in her late thirties and a pruned up old guy beside him. My father greeted and said, "Let's get started." When we all sat down, I glared at all the people the old man looked very familiar but I didn't care. I just wanted to get the hell out of here and be with Kikyo.
The man in his forties stood up to speak.
"As you all know, today is the 100th anniversary of the founding of Shrine Inc. Our founding father, Tomi Higurashi has made it possible for us to be gathered here close to 25 years after his passing and then joint partnership with Yamato Corp. It is now that the future of these two companies rests upon a bright young man by the name of ...Inuyasha.
"WHAT?!" I barked out in surprise. My old man was ashamed of my sudden outburst. I could tell because he shook his head and sighed when he explained the situation to me.
"Inuyasha, before you were born, Tomi was close to death. He loved me as a son and didn't want to lose me as his business partner. His last wish was that I would allow my youngest son to marry the daughter of his favorite grandson to keep the joint companies together. If I didn't do it by the 25th anniversary of his death, everything to do with both companies will be sold or auctioned off. You master be married to this man's daughter for the sake of the future."
I looked at my dad and realized that he must have been pretty serious. I didn't have much of a choice because the biggest mistake that one can make in life is arguing with my dad. Besides, I probably have three years if freedom before I marry the girl. So I went along with it.
"Fine, when do I have to get marred?" for some strange reason, I regretted asking that question.
My father looked at me with a stern look and answered "Tonight.
Does anyone know the marriage vows? And Inuyasha's parent's names? I forgot and I need them for the next chapter.
Thank you for your patience.
Later Days!
