They said she should be happy.

He was rich, he was handsome, he was demon and he was cold. One would think that one would be thrill to be married to him, but she, she could not seem to get excited and she still didn't understand why it was her that was marrying him.

In tradition the oldest would marry the oldest, yet both family's were powerful and both had a older sibling and a younger sibling, so to balance out the power and rank of their family's one oldest would marry one younger while the other family's oldest would marry the others younger.

Her mouth had hung wide open when her grandfather Higurashi told her and her sister whom they would marry.

Since his family was of higher rank and power the first born son would marry the younger of the Higurashi house, younger being her, meaning her sister, whom was older would marry the younger brother.

Kikyo seemed to be fine with this. In fact after they were told, she set right to making arrangement for their wedding, while Kagome sat in disbelieve.

They said she should be happy,

That it was a honor to be able to marry him, and into their family. It really should not have come to her as such a shock, she knew at a very young age that she would marry under a arrangement and she knew that the Higurashi house would seek to marry into his house.

But, she thought her sister would marry him, they were so alike, sold, distant, smart, strong. She grew up around both brothers but her and her sister formed a friendship with the younger brother. The older of the two paid her little to no mind at all, and now, now she was to marry him?

"Kagome my dear"

Kagome shook her head, bringing her deep thought to a hault "Hai" She said quick to her soon to be father in law with a bow,

"Kagome do tell me, what would you like your wedding to be like?"

Kagome blushed, in arranged marriages the woman did not pick anything, it was up the head of the house hold, so she found it odd of him to ask her, her thoughts on the matter, after all, they were not getting married out of love, so what did it matter?

"Oh, uh" She stumbled over her words, he smiled bigger at her,

"Come, I only wish to make these easier on you, please tell me what kind of wedding you would like"

He was always a sweet man, strong when he needed to be and oh so caring when he needed to be, he would be a great father in law and she loved his wife just the same. Kagome always dreamed of having a out door wedding, in the woods with big tree's and wild flowers and mix of green, cream and brown.

"Kagome do speak up sister" Kikyo stood next to her, Kagome looked at her,

Her older sister told her she should be happy to be marrying him,

"Father in law I do believe my younger sister would love a outdoor wedding" Kikyo spoke with no emotion "She is always in the woods, climbing tree's"

How embarrassing "Kikyo!" She whispered,

"Ah, a girl after my own heart, do not worry miko, I will take care of everything"

Kikyo smiled wicked as their soon to be father in law turned and walked away,

"Honestly Kagome, your fixing to be one of the riches women in japan, act like it"

He friend told her she should be thrilled, she soon would be rich, go where she wanted, do what she wanted, buy what she wanted.

Yet Kagome could not pull herself to be excited,

She was getting married in less than 24 hour's to a man, no, demon Lord, bringing two powerful houses together.

The Higurashi house was to marry the Tashio house, and her soon to be husband was the most sought after male in the world, Sesshomaru Tashio.
