KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK…
A young woman entered the chambers of the Jurai queen. She walked in, knowing exactly where everything was, went straight to the enormously large windows, pulled back the curtains which let the morning rays of the sun in the room, finally opening the window, a nice summer breeze was let in the room, there were birds chirping in the back ground and you could hear the children playing in the courtyard down below.
"Ahh, what is that annoying noise?" a women under the blankets yelled
"Mi' lady, it is morning, the birds are out and the children play, it is truly a beautiful day." The young servant girl said.
"Yes, well I must tell the king that the little brats cannot play in the court yard anymore, they are quiet an annoyance." The queen said sitting up rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Her long purple hair went down to her feet when she stood out of bed, adjusting her eyes to the new light in the room, crimson eyes glittered in the morning light. She couldn't be more than the age of 17.
"Lady Ayeka, the children that are in the court yard is the children of your faithful servants." The young woman said, she was about 16, long dark drown hair that went down past her waist, chocolate brown eyes, pale skin that looked so soft, even though she was a servant you knew she took great care in her appearance. The queen looked at her.
"And who said it was ok for you to give your opinion?" Ayeka said glaring at her. "Because the last time I checked you were a servant Sango, not anybody important. Now lets hurry up im a very busy woman." Ayeka finished walking over to the dressing room.
"Yes mi' lady, sorry for my outburst." Sango said following her.
"Now Sango you know you are my lady in waiting, and that's exactly what you're suppose to be doing." Ayeka said to her walking down the hallway, to the dressing room, a figure came out of one of the many rooms.
"Sango!" A girl with long light blue hair and pink eyes, wearing a light purple kimono and a white apron ran up to Sango.
"Sasami, you shouldn't run you might get hurt." Sango said to her, hugging her, she whispered in her ear. "Sasami, address Lady Ayeka." Sasami looked wide eyed.
"Yes sister." She said getting out of Sangos' grasp. "Good Morning Lady Ayeka" Sasami said with a smile. Ayeka looked at her, and looked away.
"Can we be on our way? I do not have time to spend with likes of you." Ayeka said looking at Sasami. Sasami looked at Sango and began to cry. Sango looked up at Ayeka and then at Sasami.
"Don't worry Sasami, don't cry." Sango said in a cooing manner.
"Sango, that is enough! Now let's go! Im a very busy woman!" Ayeka said
Other servants came out from the chambers that they were assigned, looking to what the commotion was. Sango looked around and saw everyone. Trying to get Sasami out of there as quickly as possible, So she wouldn't aggravate the queen any further. She went to her closet friend there.
"Sasami go to Washu" Sango said pointing at a girl around the age of 22, with long pink hair and green eyes, wearing the traditional black and white kimono for doctors. Though she may look young Washu is very talented in her felid of medicine. Sasami ran to Washu. "I'm sorry my queen she is but a child, she doesn't know better." Sango said trying to please the queen.
"I do not care, she is a brat. Don't ever let me see her again." The queen said.
"Yes my queen." Sango said bowing, then getting up to continue their way to the dressing room.
"What is everyone looking at? Go back to your business! NOW!" Ayeka yelled, everyone scurried to do as she said. Sango and the queen continued to the dressing room, finally getting there and began the long process of getting the queen ready for the day.
'Things never used to be this way' Sango thought. 'I remember everyone got along with everyone, but when our king married her, it like he was brain washed or something. No one is allowed to see him unless its cleared with the council with her.' Sango snapped out of her trail of thought. When someone knocked on the door, another woman that was with Sango and Ayeka answered the door.
"Yes how may I help you" the young woman answered the door, but only opened it a crack to keep the queens body shield from others.
"Tokimi, Is my sister with you?" a young boy asked.
"Yes she is Kohaku, but we a re greatly busy, can it wait?" Tokimi asked her long black hair, and blue eyes, shined. She was around the age of 14, very shy but still beautiful.
"No, it can't Tokimi, tell her the king has sent for her, he has business with her and needs to talk to her as soon as possible." Kohaku said.
"Ok I will give her the message." Tokimi said to him.
"Thank you Tokimi." Kohaku said with a smile.
Tokimi closed the door when he left, and went to give Sango the news. Sango was putting on the last piece of garments of her highnesses royal clothes.
"Who was it Tokimi?" Sango asked quietly.
"It was your brother, he said for you to see the king, he has sent word that he must speak with you." Tokimi said
"Now, but im not done with lady Ayekas clothes…" Sango said
"Its ok, I will cover it, you go before you make him mad." Tokimi said.
"Ok I will thank you Tokimi, I owe you big time." Sango said leavening the dressing room.
"Where is she off to? I didn't say she could leave…" Ayeka said
"The king has called to see her milady." Tokimi said.
"Very well, hurry up I have stuff to do." Ayeka said.
"Yes Lady Ayeka." Tokimi said
Sango hurried as fast as she could to get to the thrown room, she couldn't keep the king waiting, after all he was the king. She began to fell a warm feeling in her stomach at the thought that he wanted to see her, like when they were little.
Flashback…
"Hey Sango! do you wanna play today in the fields?" he yelled
"Huh? Yeah! That would be fun, sure you wont get into trouble?" Sango yelled running up to him.
"Na, I'll just take one of the guardians with me, I should be good if I do that." He said
"So who you gonna take Bankotsu?" Sango asked
"Umm, I dunno, how about Kamidake, he always plays with us…" Bankotsu said
"Yeah ok!" Sango said jumping up and down
End of Flashback…
Sango came upon two large wooden doors; two men were at the door, guarding it. She began to slow her pace down and took time to fix her hair, and straighten herself out.
"Good morning, Miss Sango." One of the men said
"Yes it is a lovely morning isn't it? I hope you are enjoying your self Miss Sango." The other one said
"Good morning Azaka, Kamidake, I hope your morning is going well." Sango said bowing down.
"Yes thank you for asking." Azaka said. They both pushed the doors open and let Sango walk in. She walked in till she heard a mans voice, call her name.
"Sango, im so glad you could make it, it has been to long that I haven't seen you." He said
"My lord, you do me the honor of your presence." Sango said
"Now Sango you know we have known each other longer than most people have, you my call me by my name." he chuckled.
"Yes, my lord. I mean Bankotsu." Sango smiled.
"There that's better. So do you know why I have called you here?" Bankotsu said
"No, I don't Bankotsu." Sango said looking at his ice blue eyes.
"I have called you here to talk about my new bride. How has she adjusted to the castle?" Bankotsu asked looking over some papers. Sango walked over to him looking at the papers as well.
"She seems to be adjusting ok. I guess, but Bankotsu she doesn't seem right for your people. Just this morning, she called all of the children in the court yard brats, and she wishes for you to dispose of them." Sango said Bankotsu looked at her.
"Do not speak ill of my new wife Sango!" he scolded her, expecting her to back down.
"Do not speak to me like im one of your common whores Bankotsu, you know me all to well to do that, I will not back down, I will speak my mind. And my mind says she is no good for the people of Jurai." Sango yelled
"I know she doesn't like our people Sango…" Bankotsu calmed down and began again. "But I did not marry for love you know that. I did it to unite our two lands so that war and famine would no longer pelage us or them im looking for a better future. You of all people should know that."
"Bankotsu." Sango said putting her hand on his face. "To have a better future you must focus on fixing the now not then, do not make such rash decisions with consulting you consulter, isn't that why he is here? If you choose her over your people they will no longer love you they will turn their backs on you and then were will you be? No man can be king with his people."
"You sound like your father Sango, you know that." Bankotsu said
"So I've been told." Sango smiled softly.
"I still remember him teaching me how to fight; everything I know is thanks to him. Yet no matter what I would do, no matter how hard I trained I could never defeat him." He said
"That's because you mind and soul were never as one Bankotsu." Sango said. "Being the daughter of The Great Worrier of Jurai, held great honor, I took pride in it, I was proud of him, but when he died I felt at a lost. I still feel lost. But I can't be lost I have to be there for Kohaku and Sasami." Sango said simply.
"Yes many people, said we should have buried him her in Jurai, but your fathers last wish was for him to be buried in your homeland, Talane." He said
"Yes, I miss him so." Sango said looking down. "But back to business, what do you have planed?" Sango asked
"All business and no play? You're no fun Sango." Bankotsu said
"Well, I would but I have to work, now tell me what else you would like to talk about." Sango asked. Just then Miroku rushed in the room.
"My lord, I have news!" Miroku yelled running up to the two. "Oh hello Sango dear." He said taking her hand and kissing it. Sango gave a rather disgusted look. "My lord" Miroku said bowing after he was done kissing her hand.
"You may speak, monk Miroku." Bankotsu said
"We have guests, but not any guests royal guest coming from the north, my scouts say it is Lady Ayekas parents, the king and queen of Seniwa." Miroku said
"What why are they here?" Sango blurted out.
"They must want to see how we are taking care of their princess." Bankotsu said "Well, get the rooms ready, we are going to have a feast to night, tell the cooks and the people we are celebrating the arrival of my in-laws!" Bankotsu said.
"Yes sir!" Miroku said and left the room.
"Bankotsu are you sure it's wise to have them here?" Sango asked. "I mean they still don't like our people what to say that they didn't come to take their daughter away?" Sango finished
"Well, if they do, it would be war and we do have them here, so we would win it, im not sure that what they have in mind Sango." Bankotsu said, when the guardians came bursting in the room.
"My lord I take my leave." Sango said and bowed to them. Sango left the room for them guardians and the king to talk. Sango went about her daily duties and cared for the new queen of Jurai, who she didn't care for. But for the love of her king she did it to make him happy.
