The next morning Kagome woke up and sighed. She didn't really want to go through today. I don't want to do this. I want Sesshomaru. She got out of bed and got dressed.

As she made her way to the dining room she thought about all the demons she would have to fight. Sesshomaru smiled when Kagome came into the dining room. He had thought about Kagome all night as he slept. She will be MINE today! Kagome sat in her seat and ate her breakfast.

Inutaisho said, "Kagome, all of the participants have all come and given me theirs names. I have arranged them in order."

Kagome smiled and said, "That is good, Inutaisho."

Kagome ate as much breakfast as she could because she knew that there would be a lot of fights. She asked, "How many have come to fight?"

Inutaisho said, "Three hundred demons."

Kagome sighed and asked, "Do they know they have to take my family along with me? Do they know they are fighting me?"

Inutaisho said, "These three hundred demons are the only ones that would accept both conditions."

Kagome nodded. She stood up and went to the door. Just before she left she said, "We will have the tournament after lunch."

She left the room. Sesshomaru smirked at his father and asked, "When do I fight her?"

Inutaisho smiled and said, "You will be the last to fight her."

Sesshomaru nodded and went to do some training. When Jacob came into the dojo Sesshomaru saw that he was sad. Sesshomaru was surprised because this was a very strong demon. He asked, "Why are you so sad?"

Jacob looked up and gasped in surprise when he saw Sesshomaru. Her bowed and said, "I'm sorry, prince Sesshomaru. I did not mean to interrupt your training."

Sesshomaru sighed and asked, "What is wrong?"

Jacob said, "I am a horrible person. I was the one who shot the bear demon the other day. He is so gorgeous."

Sesshomaru chuckled and said, "He will live. Maybe he is the one for you."

Jacob just sighed and left. Everyone met in the dining room for lunch. Inutaisho asked, "Are you excited about the tournament, Kagome?"

Kagome smiled and said, "Of course."

She had lied to Inutaisho. I want to mate Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru could tell that Kagome was lying. Why would she lie about mating? Kagome stood up and said, "I will be on the training grounds when it is time to begin."

Kagome left. Inutaisho looked at Sesshomaru and asked, "Have you made arrangements with one of the guards?"

Sesshomaru said, "I have."

Inutaisho smiled. After lunch everyone went to the training grounds. They saw that all the demons were watching Kagome train. Sesshomaru was in awe. He had never seen anyone train so hard except himself.

Inutaisho yelled, "The tournament will begin shortly. However, we would like to go over the rules. There will be no deaths. No magic is to be used. No miko powers are to be used."

Everyone nodded. Inutaisho smiled and said, "Then let the first contestant come forward."

The first demon came forward. It was a bear demon. Kagome smiled sweetly at the demon. Inutaisho said, "Let the first fight begin."

Kagome and the bear demon fought. Kagome wasn't surprised when she won. This went on with the rest of the contestants until they got to the last demon. Inutaisho said, "Let the final demon come forward."

Sesshomaru smirked behind the guards face armor. He walked to the arena and bowed to show his respect. He hid his aura and scent so that Kagome wouldn't be able to tell that it was him.
