Chapter 2

Inuyasha paced the room while his older brother Sesshoumaru watched him calmly.

"How can you be so calm?" He snapped.

"Because we are not yet sure who is going to marry the girl are we?" Sesshoumaru pointed out, "And for all we know, it could be our choice of whom she marries, or it could be her choice. And we have never met her, so we cannot say how we feel about her just yet. For all you know, you could learn to love her."

"Yeah…well, same goes for you!" Inuyasha growled, having nothing better to say.

"Have you forgotten who you are speaking with dear brother? I, Sesshoumaru, will not now, or ever, fall in love with a human woman." He glared as he noticed Inuyasha laughing hysterically. "What is so funny?"

"You said you'd never fall in love with a human woman." Inuyasha choked out, Sesshoumaru still had no idea what he was talking about, so he continued. "You never said anything about human MEN!" Inuyasha fell over laughing. "Sesshoumaru is GAY!" He screamed, "Just wait till the wench finds out that one of the guys she might be married to is gay!" He laughed.

"Inuyasha, if anyone is gay, it would be you. You are the one who spends all of your time with that strange monk." Sesshoumaru snapped.

"Miroku is my best friend you dolt!" Inuyasha growled, "You are so sick! Just saying that!" he shivered at the thought.

"Inuyasha! I hear some ladies are coming to the castle tomorrow!" Said the monk being spoken of.

"Ladies? There's more then one!" Inuyasha cried in despair.

"Yeah! The youngest princess of the Northern Lands and her best friend to keep her company." Miroku said, "They must already know what kind of company you two are if she is bringing a friend." He joked.

"Monk, do not speak of me in such a way." Sesshoumaru said in a bored tone, tired of having to tell the monk the same thing over and over again.

"Right." Miroku saluted mockingly. "So do you know why they're coming?" he asked, turning to Inuyasha again.

"Yeah," Inuyasha grunted. "The princess of the Northern Lands is to marry either Sesshoumaru or me."

"Oh you guys are pretty lucky!" Miroku cried.

"Why? What do you know Miroku?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Well, from what I've heard, the princesses of the Northern Lands are very sought after. They are very beautiful. The older of the two is said to be more graceful, powerful, but much colder. While the younger one is much more popular among her people." Miroku stated, "Apparently when she hears of a family in need, she sneaks out of her room and gives them a bit of money to help them out."

"Her fathers money." Sesshoumaru guessed.

"No, her own money." Miroku informed. "She is not as graceful, some people have gone so far as to call her clumsy. She has a fiery spirit and she speaks her mind. The two are twins but I have been told that they are not identical. Although at first glance, you could mistake one for the other, certain features separate one from the other." He stopped to build up some suspense. " I've heard that the younger is more beautiful because of her kind, enticing eyes and soft, perfect features."

"Well, now I know she's kind." Inuyasha rolled his eyes "Come on Miroku! What does she look like?"

"Inuyasha, you shallow fool!" Sesshoumaru spat. He had some respect for the girl. Anyone who would give their own money to commoners, spoke what was on her mind, and helped others seemed worthy of his respect. He might even go as far to say she was eligible.

"Well, all I know is she had long black-blue hair, blue eyes. She is about 16 and between 5"2' and 5"4'" Miroku answered Inuyasha's question.

"Wow, sounds pretty good." Inuyasha laughed, he was definitely spending too much time with Miroku. "She certainly sounds good. From what I've heard, she's nice, beautiful, and feisty. She's perfect!"

"We will have to wait and see what she is truly like when she arrives tomorrow afternoon." Sesshoumaru said, wishing her arrival was sooner, but at the same time, wishing it would be later. 'I have taken a liking to her and I have never met her before. I do not know simple information such as her name. I wonder how much she knows of Inuyasha and myself.' He mentally slapped himself in the head, 'What am I thinking? She is a human! Something must be wrong with me.'

"Do you know anything else?" Inuyasha asked as he plopped down on a cushiony chair, obviously his nerves from before gone.

"Only that there are already a few men after her affections. Although there are only two who have mad their wishes verbal to the princess herself." Miroku said.

"Really? And for which princess would this be for?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"The younger of the two of course." Miroku said as thought is were the most obvious thing ever.

"Who are they and what did the princess say?" Inuyasha demanded.

"Koga, the head guard of the Northern Lands, and Hojo, the doctor of their nearest village. The princess did not decline either of them but she did not accept either. She has been too kind to hurt them by declining, but she does not feel enough for them to accept their offers of marriage or courtship. However, I do know that Koga is willing to fight for her." Miroku noted.

"What has she done to get such attention?" Sesshoumaru asked, half expecting to hear she was whorish, or something of the sort.

"Well, she is beautiful, kind and caring. It's not surprising. Her sister has had many more proposals though, which is surprising. For as I have said, she is colder, selfish, demanding, and in fact, the only reason her sister is in this arranged marriage in the first place." Miroku informed the two brothers, who were hanging off of his every word.

"She's the reason? How would she have a part in the matter? And even if she did, why would she put her sister in an arranged marriage?" Inuyasha asked.

"She is simply jealous." Miroku stated.

"Jealous? Jealous of what?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, with all the attention the younger sister is getting from men, the older sister has been betting more and more jealous. So to get more attention from the men, she sends her sister to get married. That is the reason one of you is in an arranged marriage now. To keep the spoiled brat happy." Miroku growled.

"You still have not answered why the older of the two has a say in when and why the younger of the two is wed." Sesshoumaru pressed the rest of his question.

"I thought that would be obvious now. She is the fathers favorite, therefore she gets that of what she wishes." Miroku said, before smirking, as thought remembering something.

"What?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, the younger girl was also told today about the marriage. And as I told you, she does have a fiery spirit, and with a fiery spirit comes a fiery temper. She was storming around her castle." Miroku gossiped. "And as I said, she is bringing a friend, and it is her best friend who is the only one who is able to keep her temper from flaring in access amounts. From what I've heard, she pretends to be the princesses maid so she can attend trips." Miroku chuckled.

"That's interesting." Sesshoumaru muttered.

"I'm going to bed, it's late. Good night." Inuyasha called. Everyone left for their own rooms so they could also get some sleep.

Before falling asleep, both Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were wondering how Miroku knew as much as he did about the princesses.

Hey everyone, I guess I should explain what's going on with the whole changing this with the chapters and everything.

For those of you who read the first chapter with half, or most of this chapter in it, that was a mistake and I'm sorry if you had to read it again. Anywho, I just want to thank the people who reviewed!
