They talked
for what seemed like a long time to Sango. Mostly small talk, she had agreed
with him earlier about changing the wedding plans. She had balked at the idea
first; she didn�t want to seem eager. She still couldn�t figure out what it was
about him that she liked. He spoke very formally to her, but t was was a
strength that emanated from him. He seemed distracted. He often had this
faraway look that was a bit infuriating. His attention should be here. But when
he did look at her his eyes burned amber.
�Are you
alright my lord?� Sango asked.
�Yes. My
apologies I just remembered an appointment I have in a few minutes with my man
of affairs. Now that we have settled the change in our wedding plans I must
notify him. You should inform your mother of the change of plans.� He took her
hand and kissed it. �Would you do me the honor of attending the theater with me
tomorrow evening?�
�I would like
that.� She gazed into his eyes. �I will see if Kagome will accompany us.�
�If it wouldase ase you.� He said it like a purr. He then kissed
her hand.
Sango thought
�If you would please me.� Suddenly ashamed of the turn her thoughts had taken,
she blushed, �Until tomorrow.� She said.
He left
through the garden portal, she stood there for a minute then headed towards the
house determined to have a long talk with Kagome.
~~
Sango walked
in through the door connecting their bedrooms. She found Kagome curled up in
the window seat. She looked up as she entered.
�What was that
about?� Sango sat on the bed.
�What was
what?� Kagome didn�t feel like talking. That never stopped Sango before.
�You know what
I mean. Lord Sesshomaru.� She said expectantly.
Kagome sighed.
�Lord Sesshomaru asked me to marry him.� She paused. �I refused him.�
�Why?
He�s very handsome and very rich. You should be flattered.�
�I am, but I
barely know the man. All I know about him is that he was of some assistance to
me last night. He is handsome but his expression is somewhat cold. That�s only
from the limited amount of time we�ve spent in each other�s company.� She
paused �Sango, I want to marry for love.�
Sango�s heart
almost broke. Kagome had a look of despair in her eyes that she couldn�t figure
out.
�Kagome, you
know I love you like a sister, but you need to realize that this offer is
probably the best you could ever hope for. You would be a countess. For someone
of your background and social standing that is amazing. I know he�s a stranger,
but you need to secure your future. I�m marrying a stranger and I must confess
I don�t dislike the idea since I�ve met him. Maybe you need to be in Lord
Sesshomaru�s company more often and maybe you�ll grow to love him. I want you
to be happy.�
Kagome
couldn�t explain to Sango the panic feeling she felt when he had asked her to
marry him. Kagome felt a tug at her heart that was more powerful than logic.
After a few moments of silence she said,
�I�m sorry but
I just can�t marry him. I can�t explain it.�
�I
understand I felt something like that when my parents told about my arranged
marriage. But you know I don�t mind the arrangement at all. I find Lord
Inuyasha fascinating. I find myself thinking about him more and more. He asked
if we would go to the theater tomorrow night. You have to come.� Sango pleaded.
�Mother is scheduled to attend a card party tomorrow and she won�t be able to
accompany us. So you see you can�t refuse.�
Kagome could
never say no to her friend. �I will go. Now I want to have some rest before
dinner.�
�All right I
will see you at dinner. I have to go tell mother of the change of plans. I
almost forgot to tell you.� She came back into the room. �I have agreed to
marry Lord Inuyasha three weeks after the engagement ball.�
�Why the haste?� Kagome asked.
�He didn�t see
the logic of a long engagement. After all he believes that we will do very well
together.� Sango winked at her and then left.
~~
Sango made her
way downstairs in search of her mother. She was about to look for her in the
study when she saw Lord Sesshomaru come out of it. He didn�t notice her
watching from the end of the hall as he made his way towards the front door.
�What was doindoing in the study?� Sango thought to herself.
She walked to
the door and knocked.
�Enter� Her
mother was sitting behind the large mahogany desk.
�Mother was
that Lord Sesshomaru I just saw leaving?� Sango asked.
�Yes, I
couldn�t have been any more surprised than when James announced that the Earl
requested an audience with me.� Lady Matsamura said.
�What did he
want?� Sango sat on one of the chairs.
�Well I guess
there is no harm in telling you. You just need to keep this from Kagome for a
while.� Lady Matsamura paused. �He offered a large settlement for Kagome�s
hand.� She paused and clasped her hands on top of the desk. �I accepted the
offer on her behalf. The contract will be finalized in a couple of days. We
will inform Kagome of this then.�
�Oh mother, I
don�t think Kagome wants to marry a total stranger.� Sango sighed. After the
conversation she just had with Kagome she felt concerned that this was the last
thing she would want.
�I acted in
her best interest. As her guardian I have a responsibility to her. I will see
her married and settled. I just never in my wildest dreams ever thought an earl
would be interested in her.� Lady Matsamura defended her actions.
�After the
contract is signed Kagome has no way out of it, does she?�
�If Kagome
does not want this marriage, which I can�t see why she wouldn�t want it, we
would be obliged to make restitution in the amount of 10,000 pounds.�
�Oh dear�
Sango didn�t know what else to say.
�Now you know.
Please don�t tell Kagome about this. I will tell her when the time comes.� Lady
Matsamura watched her daughter for a moment. �Is there something you wanted?�
�Oh yes, I
have come to inform you that Lord Inuyasha called upon me earlier. He and I discussed
our wedding plans. He would like to move the wedding date up to three weeks
after the engagement ball. I have no objection to it.�
�I don�t see
why the rush. I would have to make arrangements, but I guess it could be done.�
She said going through the details in her head. �Alright if you wished to speed
up your wedding date I will make the arrangements.�
�Thank you mother.� Sango said rising. �If you would excuse me I
must dress for dinner.�
�Run along and
don�t worry everything will be alright in the end.� Lady Matsamura said as
Sango left the room.
