Princess WHAT!

"Lady Kaede" A man called out. He walked quickly towards the village miko with ten other newcomers behind him. "Lady Kaede I must speak with you it is of the utmost importance. I request that InuYasha and Kouga be present during our conversation." He said once he came to a stop in front of her. InuYasha an inu-hanyou (dog-half demon) jumped down from his perch in a nearby tree.

"Hey, Kaede do you know this demon?" InuYasha asked looking at the tall guy with waist length blond hair. He was referring to the gentlemen who asked to speak with them.

"Of course, InuYasha, this is Prince Legolas from the North." Kaede smiled at Legolas. A slight breeze caught hold of his bangs and revealed the emblem of a sun on his forehead. His pointed ears twitched while he listened to the conversation between InuYasha and Kaede. He ran a hand over his White trench coat, a styled fashion that no one had seen in the western territories before. "And look at you my dear boy you haven't aged a day."

Legolas looked at the inu-hanyou and smiled innocently, before returning his gaze to Kaede. "Tell me dear friend where is Kouga? I must speak with all of you."

As if on cue a gust of wind like a tornado came quickly past InuYasha almost knocking him over. "Hey mutt face" a voice growled out in a playful tone. A wolf demon stepped out of the tornado. He wore only two things a fur kilt and fur leggings nothing more. He was very tall and he had long black hair in a ponytail with pointy ears. His tail twitched in excitement. He knew that his taunt would anger InuYasha and give him the battle he wanted.

"Was it just me or did you just give me a death stare" Kouga grinned as InuYasha's eyes narrowed. "Because if you did I couldn't imagine why you would," Kouga paused and then added as if an afterthought "Half breed." He gave a knowing smile.

InuYasha tackled him to the ground and started punching him. Kouga managed to get him in a head lock, but InuYasha elbowed him in the stomach. They wrestled on the ground causing a huge amount of dirt to rise in the air.

They had been like that since Kagome had arrived in the Feudal Era many years ago. They used to fight over her all the time, until three days after Naraku's defeat, when she disappeared. It had been two years since then and no word as to her whereabouts.

InuYasha was about to draw his sword and use it when someone whispered harshly "Sit." The necklace around InuYasha's neck glowed and he was slammed to the ground. Creating an InuYasha shaped crater. He looked up from the now created crater and glared at Kaede, but she seemed to be just as confused as he, was it possible that the necklace was mouth functioning? InuYasha stood up, and looked over to Legolas. Legolas wasn't looking at him; he was looking at his comrades who split into two rows. Three people had just arrived. Behind them were Sango and Miroku with their one year old daughter Tatiana.

"Aye mate got any rum on ye?" asked the first man on the left.

"Hello dear cousin; are we late?" asked the second man. The first man had long black hair and a beard. He wore old raggedy pirate clothes and a black hat. The second man on the right wore a richer pirate outfit that looked like a blacksmith's outfit to a party, and a newer brown hat that was shaped like the first man's was.

Legolas smiled at his cousin with a gentle grace "No Will you arrived on time, and no Jack I do not have any rum and even if I did I wouldn't give it to you. You're already drunk as it is." He then smiled at the cloaked figure between Will and Jack and bowed slightly. The figure stepped forward and stood next to Legolas the white cloak the figure wore prevented all from seeing who the person was. Legolas turned and faced Kaede.

InuYasha gave this person a quick look over. He couldn't see much though; the white hood of the cloak covered all but the mouth to the v of the neck.

Kouga was now starring at the third arrival as well. Kaede smiled weakly not knowing what to do.

"Lade Kaede, InuYasha, Kouga I would like to start out meeting and discuss the reason we are all gathered here now." said Legolas who was at first smiling but now frowning.

Kaede bowed her head and nodded. "Shall we then not move inside so as to prevent others from hearing our discussion?" Legolas gave a curt nod to allow Kaede to lead the way. Kaede stepped into her hut and began to put a barrier up around her home so no outsider could listen in. Legolas bowed his head to the cloaked figure to allow the person to pass first into the hut. The figure walked towards a corner in the far back of the main room and leaned against the wall. Sango and Miroku were the next to enter they wore their usual traveling attire. Sango cooed at Tatiana whom she carried. Miroku's gaze traveled to the cloaked figure and lingered. They didn't know whom the person was they merely came because of Legolas's request to do so.

Next to enter was InuYasha and Kouga. Kouga paused in the doorway and gazed at the cloaked figure. He could sense power coming from the person. He quirked an eyebrow after he sniffed the air, only to discover the person had no scent. 'Perhaps a spell' he thought to himself before he joined the others seated around the fire. Legolas, and Will were the last to enter. The others stayed outside and took on a defensive stance around the hut just as the barrier was completed.

"Now it is time to reveal some secrets that need be revealed." Legolas stated as all but the cloaked figure sat around the fire.

To be continued…
