Hello again! Here's Chap 2. hope u likey. Btw: this takes place in Kyoto during the Meiji era, when there was still such thing as princesses, but swords were illegal, unless you were in the military.

Anyways, I don't inu or crew! Now in with the story!

CHAPTER 2- LOVE SONGS

Inu-yasha sat in a tree, gazing at the moon. His hair was undone and glowed silver in the moon's glow. He finally had time to himself and he was going to take full advantage of it. He had taken off his 'mask' and his true face was reveled to the world, but no one was around. Two pointed ears sat atop his head. His eyes were a deep gold and his fingernails were longer and more pointed. His ears twitched in different directions. The young man sighed for the umpteenth time that day. He was about to leave when he heard a piano start to play. Normally he would just ignore this but his curiosity got the best of him.

When he reached the place where the music was coming from there was singing coming from the same direction. (A/N: I don't own konoyo no uta; I just love this song and I wanted to give a shout out to Train and Saya. Again DON'T SEW ME!)

Uta wo utaou
Daichi no uta wo
Kaze wo idakou
Hikari abite
Hoshi wa mada taki
Machi wa kinameku
Fuwa fuwa fururin
Menai komete

What Inu-yasha saw held him intrigued. There were two girls sitting on a balcony, one playing a piano, who had an older face, and body, than the other, though it was the other that held his attention. She looked younger and more innocent than the first. She had an average sized chest and raven hair that came down slightly past her shoulders. Her singing continued:


Uta wo utaou
Sekai no uta wo
Doko made ikou
Sora wo aoide
Hito no ubu koe
Mushi no habataki
Fuwa fuwa fururin
Omoi nosete

Fuwa fuwa fururin
Hoshi towa kitto
Fuwa fuwa fururin
Sora ni todoku

The piano stopped playing and the first girl stretched. She turned around and got up off the stool on which she sat. "Come on Kagome-chan, we need to go back in now. What if your mother heard you singing?"

"I'll be right there Sango-chan. I've handled my mother before. And anyways, it feels nice tonight. I won't let my fear of her get hold of me," the girl called Kagome stated.

"Kagome-chan I envy your courage. Well, I'll see in the mourning then…" Sango said, walking back into the mansion. Kagome simply nodded. Inu-yasha watched her leave, and then turned his eyes back on to the other girl that simply sat there. He looked closer at the young girl as she sat down in a chair on the balcony. She looked about his age, simple yet there was an air of elegance and innocence around her. The autumn breeze blew threw her hair making it fly slightly. There were bandages covering her eyes. She wore a simple green yukata that ended at her thighs. The both of them just sat there, Inu-yasha staring at the strange girl, and the girl looking off into space. Finally the girl broke the silence.

"How long are you just going to sit there staring at me?"
