What it feels like to married to someone you Hate

Kagome rode through the forest, sunlight setting her raven black hair aflame. She wiggled deeper into her light silver cloak. Going for a ride with just a light cloak on didn't help the fact that a frosty wind was blowing into her face.

Her bay mare stopped outside the castle wall, refusing to go any further. Kagome urged with her legs but the horse would not move an inch. Sighing, she turned the mare away and trotted back into the forest. She didn't blame Coella for not wanting to go back into that stone heep.

Kagome was the lady of Caer Danon . Sir Kouga's realm. She'd never wanted to be his a wife and never would have if her parents hadn't forced it. All for rank and money, she thought bitterly.

A shape galloped by, causing Coella to spook. The mare reared and took off into the gloom. Kagome regained her seat and hauled back on the reins. The horse just kept running. Typical pure bred, Kagome sighed and lent forward into the mare's rocking gallop.

Coella finally stopped in a vast clearing. Frost coated the stiff grass and the woods around them seemed eerily quiet. Kagome took this time to catch her breath and stop the nervous shaking of her legs. She hated it when Coella did that. Being such a young horse, the mare would spook at almost anything.

Kagome turned the mare back home at a easy lope. After having such a long run, she needed to be cooled down.

Kouga paced around inside his room. Next time he would think twice about galloping by Kagome on his big black stallion, especially when she was riding that 3 year old mare. Now that her horse had spooked, he was late for the dinner ball. King Sesshoumaru was going to knight him.
He sat down by the window and stared onto the court yard below. His gaze lifted to the vast expanse of forest that would very soon become his own realm. His father had been killed in a assassination last year and now the young wolf demon was taking over.

His sharp ears picked up the thud of hooves coming this way and he smiled in relief. Kagome has come back. He got up and strode out of the room. His wife would meet him in the carriage once she was ready.

Kagome unsaddled her horse and brushed her off. She was trying to take as much time as possible so she would make Kouga wait. He deserved it after all. The bastard... He was and had always been. Well, ever since she met him.

She threw a blanket over Coella and left her to her thoughts. Kagome could not avoid going to the ball because Kouga would drag her there just to show his dignity.

" Lady Kagome?" a maid asked her as she walked in. " Sir Kouga is waiting for you at the front gate".

"Tell him I'll be out in a minute"

"Yes milady" she bowed then hurried off.

Kagome walked down the steps and strode to the waiting carriage. She hesitated outside the door, she could just turn and run. But, t hen again Kouga would catch her and all that energy would be wasted for nothing.

The door immediately closed and the carriage lurched into motion as she stepped in. She fell onto the seat behind her and ended up sprawled on Kouga's lap. His arm came down and patted her on the nose. She righted herself and shuffled away from him, sticking out her tongue.

"No need to be rude love," he cooed.

"You know I don 't like that," Kagome said coldly.

"Oh ya...must have slipped my mind," was his dumb reply.

His arm snaked out and coiled around her waist, drawing her near to him. " Someone's grumpy today. Is it because your little filly spooked when I rode by?"

Kagome turned red in the face. "So you spooked her! Why you-

"Hush dear. Now don't get angry, I was just playing that's all" Kouga said softly

She tried to wriggle away but his hold was to strong for her. Well this is just great! Why does he have to be such a jerk all the time? I could've fallen off and broken my neck when he did that! Well this is what it feels like to be in a forced marriage.

She sighed and leaned her head against his shoulder. Might as well just get comfortable for the long ride to King Sesshoumaru's castle.

There! Done finally. Hope ya liked the first chappie ^.^ please r&r thanks!!
