The Hardest Thing
Chapter Two
The twenty minutes went by faster then Kagome had thought they would and soon she was staring up at the beautiful castle as she got out of the limo. Glancing around she was surprised to see no one waiting for her except for a very pretty noble woman. Walking up to her, she stopped a few feet away and bowed slightly.
"Oh! No need for that! I'm not royalty." The woman sad, laughing a little. "My name is Rin, and His Majesty asked me to show you to your rooms, your Highness."
"Just call me Kagome, would you? It's nice to meet you." Rin smiled and Kagome returned the gesture. "Now please, follow me. The King will greet you personally later this afternoon. He's busy right now, with his younger son."
Kagome just nodded and followed her, after motioning for Sango and Miroku to follow as well. Rin led them up some stairs and down a couple halls before stopping front of double doors. Kagome gulped. She was never going to learn her way around. She was either going to have to take a servant with her everywhere or keep getting lost, having to wait for someone to rescue her.
"Here we are!" Rin said and opened the doors. Kagome stepped in and gasped. Her arrival wasn't what she expected it to be, but the room totally made up for it. It was beautifully decorated, with a lot of blues, greens and silvers everywhere. On the far wall was a huge canopy bed with beautiful silver silk bedspread.
"It's beautiful!" Kagome gasped, walking in a little further, looking at everything in awe. Even her bedroom back home wasn't as beautiful.
"It's a gift from the King. He called some of your people and asked them what your favorite colors were so he could have it ready for you by the time you arrived. He hopes you like it." Rin replied
"I love it!" Kagome said, turning back to Rin with a huge smile on her face.
"Well I'm going to show your friends their rooms. I'll come get you when it's time for you to meet the King." Rin said before walking out the door and closing it behind her. Kagome just nodded and walked around the room. Seeing glass doors that she hadn't seen before. Walking up to them she looked out, only to see a huge balcony. All of a sudden fear twisted in her gut and Kagome frowned. Why was she feeling scared? After analyzing it for a while she realized why.
She was afraid that what happened to her family would happen again to someone else she loved. Sango and Miroku were already in danger, because she loved them dearly, ever since she was little. She couldn't allow herself to put anyone else in danger.
'I vow on my life that I will not fall in love with any one else for as long as I shall live. I don't think I could live if anything were to happen to someone else I love because of me.' Kagome thought. At the second, a wall of ice flew up around her heart. A few minutes later someone knocked on her door.
"Come in!" Kagome yelled out while turning away from the window. Rin walked in the door and smiled.
"The King will see you now. If you'll just follow me." She told Kagome. Kagome nodded and walked out of her room and followed Rin down the hall. A couple halls later the came upon a door with two guards standing on either side of it. "We're here to see His Majesty. This Is Princess Kagome."
The guards nodded and opened the door for them. Rin walked in and Kagome followed close behind her. In the center of the room the King was standing up and walking around his desk. He was a tall man, with long, flowing silver-white hair and amber eyes. Rin bowed quickly and Kagome followed suit.
"No need for that, Princess! After all, within a few short weeks we'll be family!" He said, coming to a stop in front of them and grabbing Kagome's hand, where he placed a small kiss on the back. "Please, come sit down and call me InuTaisho."
He led Kagome to one of the chairs in front of his desk. She sat down and noticed Rin wasn't beside her. Turning around she barely caught sight if Rin's back as she left the room.
"So, down the business. Today you will meet my sons, the one you will be marrying and the other. We're giving you a few weeks to get to know him, a month at the most." Kagome sighed in relief. At least she wouldn't be marrying a complete stranger. "In a month the wedding ceremony will be held. Now, you do know we're are demons, right?
Kagome nodded and said, "That doesn't bother me. My parents taught me to not discriminate anyone because they are something in which they had no choice."
"Good. Well, since my son is a demon, there will be certain thing you'll have to do in order to make the joining final." Inutaisho said. Kagome nodded and he continued. "On your wedding night, you will have to mate with him. During the mating he will mark you as his mate for life. That means you will be bound to him for as long as he shall live. As long as he shall live, because the mating also lengthens your lifespan to match his. Do you agree to this?"
Kagome nodded, blushing. She had never heard someone talk about mating so openly before and it embarrassed her. Deciding not to think about it Kagome returned her focus to InuTaisho.
"Well, now that that is cleared up, why don't we bring in my son?" Kagome nodded and he called out to the guards, "Guards! Bring in my son!"
Kagome turned around and stared at the doors. A few minutes later they opened and she gasped, her eyes widening.
Amber eyes.
Long, Silver-white hair.
He was gorgeous.
Hehe. Review and I'll tell you who it is!
