"He did what?!"

"I'm sorry to spring this on you now, Kagome. I know you're sad about the well sealing. I would have waited, but there was no time to put it off. He'll be here any second."

"You can't seriously be thinking of making me go through with this, Mama. An arranged marriage? It's archaic! I won't do it!"

"I think you should at least meet the man, Kagome. Your father did promise you to him years ago, so we owe him that courtesy. The final decision is yours, though. Goodness, that's him."

Kagome turned and anger fled. "Inuyasha?"

Just another odd thought. If Inuyasha had lived through until Kagome's time and made an agreement with her father that he would be able to marry her when she was old enough. She would only know she was engaged to one of her father's old friends and the surprise would be that it was Inuyasha. Again, it was supposed to be a suspense thing.
