I haven't forgot about this story. I've been itching to write what's going to happen next. I was inspired by the movie 'Ever After' but its not exactly like it. Anyway enjoy!

Chapter 1

The sun rose in the horizon as the ethereal figure made its way toward the Western Kingdom.

'Another battle done, and another war won.' He thought to himself.

Returning from defending the Western Lands again, the young prince led his steed to the staples.

Dismounting a familiar voice rang though the chilled morning air.

"They want to have a word with sire…"

'The council.'

Smirking Sesshomaru turned to his servant. "Why Taki, not even a hello?"

The older demon smiled in response, his old age more apparent as his grin grew. "My apologies sire, but it is urgent."

Amber eyes studied the older ones face. Brows creased in a distracted knot and he Taki wouldn't even look at him.

"Is it war?"

They're eyes locked. "No sire…it's about…you. They wont even tell me what it is. Only that it is urgent."

Sesshomaru pursed his lips as he handed the reins to his steed off to a stable boy. "Very well Taki. Let us take our leave."

She crouched watching her prey. Silently moving around the perimeter waiting for the beast to show it's weak spot.

'Stand up and show you're neck, you beast.'

The taijiya waited patiently for the bear demon to finish its kill. Suddenly its ears perked, it sniffed the air. It knew she was there.

'It's now or never Sango.'

She pounced from her hiding area hoping the creature would stand if it knew where she was.

Gracefully landing on her feet, Sango faced the demon. Like she suspected the bear stood on its haunches roaring, warning her off.

Stepping forward, she ran launching her weapon into the air toward the creature's neck.

"HIRAIKOTSU!"

The boomerang swiftly glided through the air slicing the bear's head from its body perfectly. Keeping her form until the deed was done, the slayer watched the bear demon fall into a heap and collected her returning weapon.

Putting her hands on her hip, Sango looked over her work. "Too easy." She huffed.
