Inuyasha sat grumbling on his bed.

'I cannot believe I'm going to marry Sango..' He thought becoming angry all over again. 'How dare he? How dare he just tell me my wife and destiny!' Inuyasha knew he cared for Sango, but as a friend not a wife, and CERTAINLY not a lover. She could've been his sister for all he knew, but never his wife. He then heard a knock at the door. It was his kind, yet persistent servant, Kodachi.

"Please sir, I only wish to help her prepare for ceremonies," she said quietly through the door.

He could tell her rrequest was genuine and felt a bit sorry for her. It wasn't her fault she got stuck with a stubbornly rebellious prince like me, eh? He stood from the bed and unlocked the door. She quickly busied herself running his bath.

"Thank you sir," she said as she straightened his bedsheets.

Inuyasha stood quietly staring at Kodachi as she worked.

"Oh my, please excuse me sire, would you like me to help you undress?" She asked, standing and straightning her self a bit.

Her question quickly snapped Inuyasha out of his slight daze. "Ano.. uh.. no.. that's okay Kodachi..." He said walking off towards the bath.

He slipped off his clothes and into the warm waters. After scrubbing himself clean he stepped out into the cool air of the room. When he walked to the door frame, he saw Kodachi standing in his armouire, pulling out his lavish purple and gold silk royal robes. She finally noticed him in the door frame. "I hope this is fitting," she said gesturing to the clothing spread over his bed.

"Yes it's fine," Inuyasha said as he walked towards the bed. She stood tall, preparing herself to dress him. "That's all for now Koadachi," he said gesturing for her to leave.

"Yes sire," she said with a low bow before leaving the room quickly.

Inuyasha dressed himself and walked out to his balcony. There were a few young girls walking with their baskets down below him and he waved to them with a smile. One of the girls pointed and quickly moved her finger blushing and turning away from him. The other looked up at him and turned away in the same manner. They then quickly hurried down the street, swinging their baskets gleefully. Inuyasha enjoyed this he knew he was sought after by every young girl in all the kingdom. Peasants and princesses alike treated him in this same manner. He quickly realized he'd be late if he didn't leave now. He walked quickly out his room headed for the gardens to attend the morning ceremonies. He stood beside his father smiling fondly. A light wind blew his shining, black hair from his shoulders into the wind as he watched a little girl stumble as she helped her mother carry home goods obviously from the market. This sight reminded him of her. He never even got name, but he remembered her face. THe way her dark brown hair perfectly framed her pale face, falling about her slender shoulders. Her dark eyes were like endless paths to her soul. He also remembered Sango calling him silly and dragging him away before he could even speak. He was even more embarrassed then, than when he smashed into her. He desperatly wanted to see her, but it'd been so long since that day, and she probabbly would even remember him, or maybe she would? Truth was, he didn't know what to expect. 'I hope she did-' A hard nudge in his side interrupted him from his thoughts.

"Will you at least acknwoledge the people?" his father told him through clenched teeth.

He subconscience quickly realized he father had annouced he wedding and he was expected to do more than stand and stare.He blushed and raised his hand in a wave as the people cheered.
