Title: The Marriage Made in Hell

Author: Lola Bear

Chapter 1: Arrival

As Kagome waited patiently in the great hall, she decided that she would try to make the best of things. She would be kind to him and try to forget about her past. She wanted to tell Inuyasha about Kouga, yet she knew that if it got back to her parents they would have a fit, not to mention it would probably irritate him to know that his bride was already in love with another man. She realised that was the last think she wanted, for if it did irritate him, he might decide to make her life even more difficult then it already was.

Her mother was presently telling her to stand up straight, put a smile on her face, and no matter what not to make an ass of herself and them.

"This union means a lot to us Kagome, please think of us when you decide to act smart, and think about the consequences." Her mother was looking at her with a loving look in her eyes, showing Kagome that she really did love her. "We know this isn't what you want but believe us when we tell you, it's for the best."

"How would you-" Kagome started to speak but was interrupted by her father.

"That's right; you will be much safer now that Inuyasha will be around to protect you, not to mention how much safer humans will be now that this alliance between humans and demons will be formed." Her father stated as he gave her a look, indicating he was to have the final word.

She wanted to point out that she already had Sango to protect her and that an alliance between humans and demons should have already been formed with the union of Inuyasha's parents. After all he was half demon half human, but she was not about to argue with her father.

Her father was a rather large man with a stern presence. He was about 6"2 and was made of all muscle. He had the blackest hair any one had over seen, the same hair as Kagome, with the same deep brown eyes. He had a look about him that made him seem cold and unkind, with his small tight lips and his firmly set jaw. Many people were certainly wary of him at first, thinking him to be a stern man without a thought of anyone else, although Kagome knew otherwise, there were still times like these when she was too intimidated by her father to argue with him.

She could never understand how her mother had been able to spend her life with him. True she didn't love him, but her mother must have been scared of him at first, as most people were. Her mother was just the opposite of him, a kind and gentle soul. Her face was the shape of a heart with a shade of light brown hair that reached the middle of her back, and she wore the most beautifully shaped hazel eyes. Her cheeks were always rosy with warmth, and as soon as you looked at her you knew you could be at ease, for this woman would never hurt a soul.

Kagome had definitely gotten her personality from both of them; she was kind and gentle like her mother, but if you got to know her really well, or just happened to get on her bad side, she could be just as intimidating as her father.

The only thing about her that she had not received from her parents was her spiritual powers. Neither of her parents were spiritual in any way, not to mention they had flat out refused to believe that Kagome had this special gift when they had learned of it, which is until they had seen what she could with their own eyes. It still amazed them to this day when they would watch Kagome shoot sacred arrows or sense when evil beings were approaching.

Kagome's thoughts were quickly disturbed once more as the doors to the great hall were opened and a younger man entered the hall to announce the arrival of their guests.

"May I present to you, milord's, the great Inu no Taisho, and his two sons Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha."

There standing in the doorway were the three demons that would be staying at the castle for the next week, before they would take her back to their home. It was a moment which Kagome would remember forever, how all three demons has stood there looking so regal and poised that it made her want to know them. They were all incredibly handsome men with the same long flowing silver hair and intense amber eyes. You could tell as soon as you looked at them that they were of the same family, it was amazing how those two features told anyone of their relation. It wasn't that it made them look all that same thought, no far from it. They all had completely different features apart from their eye's and hair; it was incredible how they could look so similar yet so different at the same time.

The man in the middle did look older then the other two, yet not by that many years only by about ten. She figured that was the great Inu no Taisho, lord of the western lands. He stood at about 6"5 and was made of pure muscle, even larger then her father, which surprised her to say the least. His hair was tied back behind his head and with the red markings on his face, he look liked a man that disserved respect, which in all truth he did, for she had been told of how he was nothing but an honourable man.

The man to his right was about the same height as the lord yet had a completely different presence about him. He seemed rather cold and emotionless, almost as if he wore a mask to hide behind. His hair was the longest of all men reaching about his knees and was as straight and shiny as she had ever seen. There was something almost feminine about him, perhaps it was his long lean body, or maybe it was just his features in general. Overall thought he was very good looking, there was no doubt about that.

When she finally took a good look at the last man, she found her self out breath. She hoped this was Inuyasha, at least she wouldn't get tired of looking at him, and that was the least she could ask for when being forced into marriage unwillingly.

Everything about him was so incredibly desirable, his perfectly toned body and the way his bangs slightly covered his eyes, the same eyes that seemed to look into your soul, and currently hers in particular. He had a straight nose, high cheek bones, a hard jaw and the most adorable puppy ears she had ever seen. He was absolutely beautiful, in a masculine sort of way, definitely not feminine like his brother.

She hadn't realized she was staring till she heard him snort, and look away from her. She could feel her cheeks heat up in an instant, and in an effort to covers her blush and act as if nothing was wrong, she diverted her gaze to all three men standing in front of her, rather then focusing on only one.

"Ah, it's good to see you again, Jenji, Shiori" Inutaisho nodded between her parents while coming up to greet them. He stopped in front of them shaking there hands, and looking between them before his gaze fell on her. "And this must be Kagome, my your much more beautiful then I would have imagined", he paused for a moment before looking back at his sons "Wouldn't you agree Inuyasha?"

At the distance they stood from each other, Kagome couldn't determine which man he was talking to, until he replied.

"Whatever, she doesn't seem that special to me." He stated while giving Kagome a cocky little smirk.

Kagome couldn't believe at that moment how much it hurt to hear him say that. How ironic, Inuyasha did turn out to be the one she was hoping for, and now, she would feel lucky to have anyone but him.

As everyone looked at her they could see the pain that registered on her face, before she narrowed her eyes, glaring at Inuyasha. "And you think your all that wonderful?" she snorted before continuing. "Get over yourself."

For a moment it seemed as if Inuyasha was so stunned by her reaction and that he would stay quite, and try not to upset her even more, but this was Inuyasha, not some normally sane person.

"Actually I know I'm that wonderful, which is why I find it hard to believe that I am about to be forced to marry you, someone who is obviously not at my level, and who seems to think that you can say whatever you want to me, the man you will be marrying in a weeks time." He paused for a moment looking for a reaction from her but got none, so he continued on. "But no worry I will make sure that once the vows are said I will fix that little problem and make sure you treat me as you should, with the utmost respect. And believe me, you will respect me and do everything I ask of you" He finished giving her a look that sent a shiver up her spine.

At this moment she was absolutely horrified, there was no way she would be ordered around like most wives, who acted like their husband were gods, no that was never going to be her.

With a look of pure hatred directed towards the hanyou, she stated coldly, "Think what you like, but mark my words, you pompous ass, I will never respect you or obey you"

She continued to stare at the very irritated man in front of her for a few more moments before she realized she had better leave before she lost her temper. The last thing she wanted to do was to sink to his level and embarrass herself as well as her parents.

She then took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down and faced the other people in the great hall before speaking. "Now if you will excuse me, I have other things to attend to." She paused before turning more fully towards the two lords in the room that had not managed to upset her, before giving them her best smile "It was lovely meeting you Lord Inutaisho and Lord Seshoumeru I hope to see you soon."

And with that she marched out of the hall, opened a door that led towards another part of the castle, walked threw it then proceeded to slam it as hard as she could.

Everyone stood their silently, wondering if maybe they had made the wrong choice in putting these two together. It was obvious that they were not about to get along anytime soon.

"Well that was rude" Inuyasha stated rather abruptly before his father gave him a death glare.

"If I were you Inuyasha I would shut my stupid mouth before I got myself into anymore trouble" Seshoumeru said while giving his brother a rather amused look.

"Don't tell-" Inuyasha started but was but off by his father.

"Shut it and listen to your brother for once Inuyasha" Inutaisho said while still glaring at his youngest son. He would have to have a talk with him later and show the boy what respect really meant.

Inuyasha sighed to himself, 'great' he thought, 'Now I'm in trouble for the actions of the stupid wench!' But he had to admit to himself, there was just something so intriguing about her when she was mad, he would have to make sure to experiment later.
