Disclaimer: I don't have Inuyasha
Ch.16 Marriage Terms
Sango hadn't slept a wink the night before and she'd spent the entire morning throwing up everything she'd ever ate in her life.
So when Inuyasha came waltzing in the hospital to retrieve her in a crisp Armani charcoal suite, his silver hair pulled into a neat little ponytail she wanted to beat the hell out of him. Growling to the best of her abilities she glared as he checked her out of the hospital, glared as he put her bags in the jaguar, glared as he strapped her in her seatbelt, and glared as he drove to her apartment.
He must have gotten tired of her glaring because by the time he got to her apartment and killed the engine he grabbed he wrist in his grasp, his claws piercing the flesh and making her squirm slightly.
Voice sharp and thick he said, "I don't appreciate your lack of manners I'm sure your mother taught you glaring is rude."
When she responded by rolling her eyes he gripped he wrist tighter before pulling her towards him until they were barely half an inch away from each other. She saw his gaze flicker to her lips for a second before he said coldly, "Get out of the car Sango,"
Sighing and too tired to respond Sango began to make her way up her apartment stairs with Inuyasha right behind her with her bags. Opening her apartment door Sango felt a sense of calm fill her at being back in her home. Shutting the door behind him Inuyasha stared at the small apartment with no emotion and for that Sango was thankful. If he'd had one look of disdain on his face she might have slapped him.
Falling on her sofa she watched as he placed her bags on the floor and continued on into her kitchen as if he owned the place. She heard the refrigerator door open and then the sound of glasses as he came back with two glasses of orange juice and handed one to her.
Waving the glass away Sango protested, "I want a soda," and stood to go get one but was shocked when she felt herself being pushed back on the couch and the juice thrust in her hand.
"Drink this," he ordered. "You will not drink any more soda, coffee, and of course no alcohol," he said glaring at her as if she was five. Setting the glass on the table Sango said through clenched teeth, "Of course I know not to drink alcohol and coffee I not an idiot, but I can have a soda," she said before rising from the couch and making a dash for the kitchen.
Just as she grabbed the coke can she felt it being yanked from her hand as she was thrust against a wall. "I said no more soda ok," he said before slamming the can on the ground.
"Look you little stubborn fool demon babes don't take well to caffeine and carbonated drinks. They get edgy and unruly and can only be calmed by their fathers, which would require me next to you at all times and I know you don't want that now do you Sango," he said mockingly making her blanch at the thought of him near her all day.
"No I don't want that Mr. Taisho," she said slipping back into old habit. Inuyasha frowned at her use of his honorific title and said, "Sango I believe it's a little late for titles," he stated annoyed for some reason. Wondering why he had gotten so upset at her slip of words Sango told him she wanted to rest and when he followed her into her bedroom she didn't even protest. Kicking her shoes off, she slid under the covers and watched as he took a seat at the foot of her bed.
Looking at him she prepared to tell him what he was waiting for, "Inuyasha," she started as his eyes zeroed in on her, "I thought about what you said and I've decided I'll marry you but this will be a marriage of convenience only, as you said."
Standing up he smirked slightly before coming to lean next to her. "You always made smart decisions," he said before kissing her on the cheek and closing the door behind him to leave her to her nap.
She was seething inside but soon sleep overtook her and before she knew it she was asleep and dreaming of rings and bassinets.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Sesshomaru was about to commit suicide and it was all thanks to those insufferable women who'd decided to make his life a living hell. He'd always been an early riser but even he had to admit this was ridiculous. He'd barely been awake three hours when the noise had started.
Rin had decided to, "redecorate and remodel" her entire room with only the help of that intolerable woman, Kyojen Haramoto. He had suggested letting professionals take care of the task but that woman had called him a "Chauvinistic pig," and whisked Rin off to buy paint and other useless items. Now they were hammering and banging away at the floors and giving him and every other demon in the house a near heart attack. When his servants began to have the guts and gall to ask him to quiet the noise he knew the madness had to be stopped.
Just as he was preparing to stand and go in for the kill the phone rang. Realizing he would have to answer because he'd given Jaken the day off Sesshomaru cursed and picked up the receiver.
"Oh Sesshomaru I'm so glad I caught you,"
Cursing again Sesshomaru wondered how long it would take for him to hang himself. On the other line was his aunt Kaede, Inuyasha's mother's sister. Although he disliked and resented Inuyasha's mother he owed his life to her sister who'd raised and taught both him and Inuyasha when there parents had died and so even though she was sometimes bothersome he remained eternally loyal and indebted to the older woman.
"Sesshomaru are you there," she said her voice urgent.
"Yes," he said as patiently as he could muster. Realizing she had his attention she began to chat on about how she missed him and Rin, and about her bridge buddies while Sesshomaru nodded and "Um hummed," as he tried to ignore the booming coming from upstairs.
He stopped his agreeing when Kaede suddenly said,
"Hey why don't you and Rin come over tonight for dinner, I haven't seen her in so long and I know she's turned into a beautiful lady and I want to see your stoic self also…"
Kaede continued to talk as Sesshomaru felt like banging his head on the desk. Realizing he was cursed he agreed to meet his aunt for dinner and hung up before she could start asking him about his social life. Growling he marched upstairs to take care of the 'noisy wenches.'
"Well be there at seven," Sango heard Inuyasha say as she entered the living room. When she had awoken she was sure he would be gone but instead she'd found him lounging on her sofa, jacket lying in a chair, and tie loose around his neck, talking on his cell phone and writing on some papers.
He sensed her presence and looked up as she walked into the room and watched her closely as she sat down across from him on the loveseat. Hanging up his cell he stood and grabbed the documents as he sat down before her.
"How did you sleep," he asked concern lining his face but Sango was sure it was her imagination playing tricks on her, 'why would he be concerned for her.'
"Fine," she said trying to glance at the papers in his hands. When he saw where her eyes lay he handed her the papers,
"This is our marriage contract, I drew it up yesterday," when she looked up at him he said, "I knew you would agree Sango you're a smart woman." Ignoring her snort he continued,
"We will stay married four years in which after if we wish the marriage will be annulled. We will live our lives separately as we had before all of this".
"And there will be no altercations or intimate involvement unless you initiate them," he said glancing at her for a reaction in which Sango just rolled her eyes and muttered, "Jerk."
Smirking he continued, "You will be given an allowance a week," he said showing her a figure in which she nearly passed out, for it was her 'salary in seven months time for one week'!
She began to refuse but he cut her off and continued on, "We will of course live in separate quarters and free to date as we wish but once the baby is born none of our companions can be allowed on my property."
She wanted to ask him about Kikyou but refrained. "If you agree to all these terms sign here," he said given her a pen. Scratching her signature Sango handed him the papers and began to stand. He stood with her also, "And to seal the deal you will join me tonight with dinner with my aunt and brother."
"With your aunt and Sesshomaru," she repeated dumbly.
"Yes he said," smirking at her expression, "I do have to let you meet your future in-laws."
