Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha though Iwish i did!
My friends dared me to write a mordern kind but i changed it back to the way it is suppose to me. Sorry if you like the other one better.
Kagura was hurrying down the halls of the castle. My parents are going to kill me. Kagura thought.
She came into the room, as dinner was served. Bowing her head, she walked to her spot and muttered, "I'm sorry that I'm late." Then sat down.
"Kagura," Hishou-sama, the Lord of the south sighed. "You're a princess, you can't be late all the time!"
"Yes father"
"Now Kagura, mind you tell us for what reason were you late for dinner?" Her mother, Sabana-sama asked.
"I was practicing my fan with Shina." Kagura replied, knowing that her parents will probably have a fit about that.
"Practicing your fan!" Her mother sighed.
"Yes mother, my fighting technique, I do believe that I'm getting quite good at it."
"Kagura, I know that you're a wind demon, but you're a girl, not to mention a princess. Fighting is not a suitable thing for you." The Lord said.
"Yes father."
As they started to eat, Kagura's parents mentioned something about a war. This got Kagura curious.
"A war father?"
"Yes, I'm afraid that there will be a war very soon." Replied the Lord.
"Between whom father?" Kagura asked, hopefully not with the south.
"The North and East are having war with the West." Her father said quietly.
"Father, I do believe that you are friends with the Western Lord." Kagura said, this might mean that they're going to be part of the war.
"Yes," her father chuckled. "I am."
"Then it means that we are going to aid them? After all you are friends and two against one is not fair."
"Yes we are going to be part of this war." The Lord sighed.
"I suppose that it won't be a small one, since all of the four lands are involved."
"Kagura," Her mother hesitated. "We were meaning to tell you this for a long time, but thought better for you to know when you are older. Like now." She stopped again. "I know that this is sudden, but you need to know about this."
"Ahem." The Lord gave Kagura's mother a look: Either you tell her nicely, or I'll drop the bomb.
Kagura picked up her teacup filled with hot tea. Raising the teacup to her mouth, ready to drink as her mother took a deep breath and began to talk.
"You're getting married."
Kagura stared at her mother as if she had grown two heads. Then she suddenly felt something hot on her thigh through her layers of her kimono. Snapping back to reality, she saw that it was her tea.
"Oh dear." Her mother stood up.
"I'm alright mother," Kagura took out her handkerchief and dried the stain as well as she could.
"Kagura, why don't you change into a clean kimono?" Her father suggested uneasily. Looking guilty to have to break the hard news on Kagura. "We will talk about this later in you room tonight."
"Yes father. Please excuse me."
On the way out, Kagura heard her mother say "She's going to hate us even more when you tell her that you engaged her when she was a newborn."
"Who said that I'm going to tell her?"
"Well I already told her that she was getting married!"
Kagura sighed, she can't believe that her parents did this to her.
"Well I might as well take a nice hot bath before I change." Kagura thought as she reached her room. She let loose her long raven hair.
She just came out of her bath as she heard a knock on the door.
"Kagura sama, the Lord and Lady are here to see you." Her servant said.
"Hold on." Kagura said as she quickly threw on a clean kimono with red flowers on it that matched her ruby red eyes. "Come in."
Kagura's parents wasted no time at all; they started talking the moment they stepped into the room.
"Listen, dear, your father and I were planning to tell you that last year, but…" Kagura's mother stopped. Her eyes were filled with grief. She couldn't continue.
"But your sister, Kana passed away, so we didn't tell you." Kagura's father continued for her.
Kagura felt anguished. Kana was a wonderful little sister, up until now, Kagura still miss her.
"But there is going to be a war, and it's not going to be a small one either. So why do you tell me this now?" Kagura asked.
"Well, we decided that it would be better, since the war might take a few years to end." Replied her mother.
"Yes, you would be a lot older then." Her father added.
"I understand." Kagura muttered. Yeah, I really understand that you want me to marry a complete stranger whom you engaged with me the day I was born.
"Now, he's name is Sesshoumaru. He's the Western Lord's elder son. He's very intelligent and handsome. Sesshoumaru is a dog demon; so don't say anything sarcastic behind his back within, well, a very long distance. Trust me, he'll hear it crystal clear. I know this because his father and I have been best friends for quite a long time." Kagura's father chuckled.
Kagura giggled.
"Hishou." Her mother said in a warning voice.
"Sorry, anyway, he's strong none less, but, unfortunately, he is not perfect."
Figures, Kagura thought.
"What is his negative side?" Kagura asked.
"Well, he's basically an ice cube without the frozen water part. Some people think that the guy's basically a cold-blooded creature." The lord replied. This time, he received an elbow in his ribs.
Kagura's mother said. "I know that we should have warned you a little earlier, but you are going to meet him tomorrow."
Kagura almost fainted on the spot. Meet him tomorrow? They've got to be kidding.
"Well, um get some sleep, dear." Her father said before closing the door.
Kagura took off her kimono and got ready for bed.
"I really hope that he isn't that bad, or lightning might as well strike me now." She mumbled.
As if a cue, it started to rain with the biggest thunders and lightning she have ever known.
Kagura sighed.
Sounds like I'm going to have a long day tomorrow. I am sooo looking forward to it. She thought before drifting off to sleep.
