The Best Things in Life are Free

Chapter 1

A beautiful woman stood on a top hill facing outward to the sky. The air brushes along her face while her long raven hair dances with the wind. She opens her lovely chestnut eyes looking down at a nearby town. She lets her left hand trail down her sleeveless tight, long Chinese fighting gown with two long slits for each side. She gave a sudden sigh as she placed her hand on her hip.

"Sango.." Called out a feminine voice.

The attractive woman turned her head to the right to see a familiar pretty, younger woman. She walked up to Sango letting her semi wavy raven hair bounced at her every step. She adjusted her short long sleeve green dress then looked out to where the other girl was looking.

"Did you tie up the girl, Kagome?" Asked Sango looking at her companion.

"Yeah, they are all ready to go to Shingo City," stated Kagome giving her a thumb up.

"Great. We'll get the rewards for them and update our wanted men information," told Sango turning around.

She walked down the hill to see the girl tied together sitting on the ground. Sango reached behind her back and pulled out a long sword. The girl looked at her with her face filled with fear. Sango gave a small smirk as she pushed the blade lightly on her throat.

"Hey, bitch, watch where you point that sword!" shouted the girl mixed with anger and fright.

"Yura of the hair, huh? Worth 5, 000 wong dead OR alive. Don't push your luck! I get money either way," stated Sango pressing her sword on her throat.

"Fine, whatever! Just stop pressing that sword unto me!" whined Yura lightly.

"Humph. Beneath your bad ass attitude from earlier, you act like a little, scared child. A thief like you doesn't even deserve to be worth 5,000 wong," insulted Sango pushing the girl down the path.

Kagome came skipping to Sango's side as she pushed Yura down the hill with her sword lightly touching her back. Kagome didn't like the way Sango treated their captured mean. Still, she wasn't one to argue plus they weren't injured from her...too badly.

They made their way into the town. IT was just a busy small town filled with people on a mission to the market. As the three made their way into town, many people glanced at them. It wasn't because they were bounty hunters. They just never seen female bounty hunters especially lovely ones. Many guys whistled and tried to tempt the girls to take interest in them, but Sango and Kagome showed no desire to speak to them.

Sango looked around and spotted the town jail. She grinned happily knowing it was almost time to retrieve money. She pushed the cursing Yura to the jail as Kagome swiftly opened the door for her partner and the captive to enter. They walked in and saw a couple of men and women already sitting angrily in the large cell. They reached a desk with the sheriff taking a nap. It was ridiculous how some people of the law acted. Sango rolled her eyes while Kagome giggling at her friend. Kagome then walked over to the sheriff tapped him on his arm. At the sudden touch, he bounced out his chair and slammed unto the floor. He quickly looked up while loudly yawning in Yura's face.

"Ugh, gross! You need some herbs to cure your breath plus your hair needs some conditioning," stated Yura turning away from him.

"Who are you three? What do you want?" moaned the sheriff crawling back into his chair.

"I am Kagome and this is Sango. We are bounty huntresses and we caught this wanted thief name Yura of the hair," answered Kagome to each person.

"We've come to retrieve the reward for her. If you give us the money and place this girl in jail, we'll be on our way," added the old girl pushing their prisoner to the sheriff.

The man nodded his head and placed Yuri in the cell with the other. Yuri turned around and displayed her middle finger to Sango then took a seat beside another prisoner. The sheriff went into his lower drawer of his shelf and took out a bundle of money. He counted it carefully and gave Sango the amount she deserved.

"Thank you, but before we go, are there any new wanted men worth catching?" asked the younger bounty huntress leaning on the desk while observing his papers.

"As a matter of fact, there's a big reward these two men," told the sheriff taking out a wanted paper.

He laid the piece of paper on his desk as the duo look down at the paper to see two handsome men. The first man on the left had long silver hair with messy bangs and yellow eyes. He wore a long sleeve red Chinese outfit as he carried a long wide sword and a smug smirk letting his fangs show. The man had long silver hair as well with small blue eyes. He wore a long white kimono with a white tail along his shoulder and a sword to her side. He has marks along his face and showed an emotionless face. Who were these guys and why did the one on the left have dog ears?

"These two are the Canine brothers. They are the two deadliest swordsmen out there. They've killed many soldier and men trying to take Lady Kikyo's Shikon jewel," stated the sheriff.

"Lady Kikyo? We must stop them, Sango! It's my duty as a fellow priestess," announced Kagome looking over to the older girl.

"You mean priestess- in- training, don't you, Kagome?" asked Sango innocently.

"Aw, shut up!" lashed out Kagome sticking her tongue out.

"Anyway, how much is the reward?" asked Sango looking at the sheriff seriously.

"777,000 wong for each head dead OR alive," responded the man reading the paper to the girls.

Sango looked down at Kagome and smiled happily at her. This was there break. They would be rich women if they captured these men. Maybe Lady Kikyo would continue the money giving for saving her life and the precious jewel she contained. Sango knew she could never reject this mission.

"Kagome, let's go. We'll need to receive supplies and get a good rest for tomorrow we're going hunting," told the older girl turning around to leave.

"Yeah, good, I felt a little tired," replied Kagome following her out.

The girls didn't know it, but at this point, both lives would change on the way they looked upon life, themselves, and love.

A/n: So what do you think? If you liked it, tell about it! If you didn't tell me about it! I kind of made Sango a little more aggressive and money hungry, but I'll tell you now, you'll love the way I made Sango. Plus Kagome seems sweet and innocent, but she isn't. Well, you'll see. Just continue the story, okay? Cool!
