Chapter 7

Once they were out of school, Kagome and Sango both hid until they were sure that the guys had already left. As the two of them walked to Kagome's house, Sango couldn't help but smile. Once they reached Kagome's house, Kagome found a note from her parents. It read: Dear Kagome, since you were going somewhere with your friends your father and I left for the weekend…if you didn't go and your reading this then take care and you can invite your friends over. So long as no guys spend the night….take care.

"So I take it it's just us?" Sango asked with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, go ahead and call your parents if you want to…I'll start on dinner." Kagome replied as she dropped her backpack by the door.

"No, its ok…I'll help you." Sango replied as she did the same.

"Ok…so what do you want to make?" Kagome asked as she pulled out a pan and some knifes.

"Um…how about we have some spaghetti?" Sango answered.

"Spaghetti? Isn't that from the states?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah it is but it's really good. I could teach you how to make it." Sango offered.

"Sure…let me just go and put our things up stairs…later you can borrow some of my clothing." Kagome said.

"Alright…do you mind if I start?" Sango asked.

"Knock yourself out." Kagome was heard from upstairs.

With a smile on her face, Sango turned around and began to look around the kitchen for the things she was going to use and for the pots she was going to need. Meanwhile Miroku and Inuyasha had just arrived when they were told to go and meet with Sesshomaru and Rin in the meeting room. They had no idea how he would take it but there was nothing else they could do. Inuyasha couldn't summon Sango for some reason. Just as they reached the doors, Miroku turned to Inuyasha and asked, "Ready?"

"I'm ready as I'll ever be…you better hope that he goes easy on Sango." Inuyasha growled before he pushed the doors open.

Once they were inside, they heard Rin's worried voice ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, why do you ask Lady Rin?" Miroku asked as he took his role as the monk of the clan.



"Then you will explain to us as to why your girlfriend is not here…Miroku." Sesshomaru's cold voice was heard as he made himself known.

"Sango isn't here because she had other matters to attend to." Inuyasha stated as he took a step forward. "She was needed at home?"

"By whom? Her parents stand behind you as well as her brother." Sesshomaru growled. "Now I ask again, where is she?"

"Sango left with Kagome. She didn't feel right and got into an argument with Inuyasha and Kagome offered her, her home. Lord Inuyasha has not been able to summon her." Miroku answered.

'Thank you Kagome…Sango really needs your help.' Rin thought as she took a step forward and said, "Well then we will later look into it."

"No, you will look into it now." Sesshomaru growled when he failed to summon her.

"Sesshomaru, we don't have that time…the King of the Underworld wishes to speak with you. We are here to take you to him." Sango's mother was heard.

"I am here to stay and to serve Lord Inuyasha." Sango's brother added.

"Sesshomaru, dear, you know that I don't like to be late." Rin stated in a sweet voice. 'You better not do anything to Sango.'

Understanding what she truly meant, Sesshomaru took in a deep breath and said, "Inuyasha you as head of the house while I am gone. I shall return."

"As you wish…brother." Inuyasha stated as both he and Miroku bowed down.

Once they were all gone, Miroku turned to Inuyasha and then turned to look at Kohaku. He knew that Kohaku was Sango's only sibling and knew that he was also every protective of his older sister. Once he was sure that the two were going to act as if they weren't who they really were, Kohaku took a step forward and asked, "What did you idiots do to my sister and where is she?"

"We didn't do anything; besides you know how she has been better than any of us." Miroku answered as he took a seat.

"Besides, it's not our fault that she is just over reacting." Inuyasha growled as he turned around to leave. "Oh and stay with Miroku Kohaku…I don't need you following me around."

"Is he alright?" Kohaku asked.

"Yeah, he just needs sometime to cool off." Miroku answered as he turned to face him. "So how about we go to the game room and have some fun?"



"Sure, as long as my parents don't find out that I was playing games while on the job." Kohaku answered as he set his weapon aside.

'Stupid wench…why the hell did she have to go and do that…now Sesshomaru isn't going to trust her.' Inuyasha thought angrily as he walked down the halls while tending to the clan house.

"No way…you really did that?" Sango asked with laughter as she tried not to spill her drink.

"The best part of it was the fact that the teacher thought she was going crazy so she asked for the rest of the year off." Kagome added in laughter.

"Wow, and no one else told you anything." Sango asked.

"No, they didn't have the power to try to challenge me if they did." Kagome answered as she set her drink down. "I was the strongest miko and witch in my last school."

"Yeah, most witches, miko's, monks, demons and hanyou's go to our school." Sango replied.

"I figured as much when I first started school there…why do they all go there?" Kagome asked as she stood up to pick up.

"Well, that school is the place where they are all trained to do what they will be assigned in the underworld." Sango answered sadly.

As soon as she heard Sango's sad voice, Kagome said nothing and quickly picked up. Once they were done, the two of them went up stairs only to get changed. Sango was glad that Kagome's wouldn't take no for an answer. She was also glad that she was being so nice. Once they were both changed, Kagome took a seat on her bed and then asked, "So you better tell me what's really bothering you."

"I have no idea…I guess it's just that I feel that if I never got to know you, you know?" Sango answered as she looked up at the ceiling. "I mean, you clicked with Rin better then what you clicked with me…I guess I have this weird feeling that…"

"That we weren't given that much of a chance to become really good friends before we died in our past life?" Kagome asked.

"Yeah, how do you know?" Sango replied.

"Because I felt it a while after I started to hang out with you guys." Kagome answered as she looked out her window. "But that's what this life is for…to correct our past mistakes; to take the opportunities that we didn't take then."

"I guess your right…so what do you want to do now?" Sango answered with a smile.



Just as Kagome was about to answer her, the two froze when they heard Sango's work phone go off. The two knew who it would be, the only question was that if they wanted to even deal with it at the moment. After looking over Sango and realizing that she was scared to death, Kagome quickly got the phone with a grin on her face and said, "Hello, Sango's phone speaking."

'Thank you.' Sango mouthed.

Phone Conversation:

"Who is this?" a males voice was heard.

"Who is this? You're the one calling." Kagome shot back.

"This is Sango's father and I demand to speak with her." He replied.

"Oh, Mr. Taijiya…well Sango is unable to speak at the moment…can I help you with anything?" Kagome asked in a sweet voice.

"You could tell me why my daughter is not at her job." Mr. Taijiya replied in an enraged tone.

"Oh about that…well as a father would you want to see your only daughter, little girl depressed?" Kagome replied as she took a seat as if she was a lawyer on a very important phone call.

"Well no but she could have…"he began on to be silenced by Kagome

"Could have what? Gone to you and Mrs. Taijiya only to be told that it would pass?" Kagome asked in a cold tone. "I don't mean any disrespect but I just couldn't see my best friend in such a state."

"Uh…just hold on." He replied.

'What's wrong?' Sango mouthed.

'He put me on hold.' Kagome mouthed back with a grin on her face.

"Is this Kagome?" a women's voice was heard.

"Yes Mrs. Taijiya?" Kagome answered.

"Kagome dear, would you please let me talk to my daughter. I need to speak to her." Mrs. Taijiya stated in a sweet and calm voice.

"I'm sorry but like I told Mr. Taijiya, Sango is unable to talk at the moment…but if you would like I could let her know and tell you her reply." Kagome replied with a sweeter voice.



"I know that Sango is capable of talking to her mother. Will you place put her on the phone?" Mrs. Taijiya stated in a stern voice.

"Sango is fine and is relaxing with me. I'm sorry but you must understand…I mean didn't you once think or even tried to do what she is doing now. You must have felt the way she is feeling now at some point." Kagome explained.

"Uh…well that's not the point…" Mrs. Taijiya stated.

"What? Just because you weren't able to pull it off she can't? You know what it's like to have no one…don't make her go through that." Kagome stated in a stern voice.

"Uh…but…that's not….hold on…" she stated

Just as Kagome was about to laugh she froze in place as she felt a sudden pain on her heart. She had no idea what was going but she was not going to let Sango see her that way. After turning away, Kagome let out a low growl that only demons would hear. Just as she was about to ask if anyone was there she heard a familiar cold voice say, "You may have been able to get to them but you will not be able to get to me…pup."

"I'm not a pup Lord Sesshomaru. Therefore I do not need you to treat me as such." Kagome growled as she stood up in anger.

"Then I will not tell you again so you best listen." He growled back.

"No, you better listen to me. I will take Sango back to your clan house but I will be at her side. Not as an enemy but as her friend. We can talk about this and what I have done in person." Kagome growled as she slowly pushed his aura away from hers.

"You cannot talk to me…" he began only to be silenced by her.

"No you cannot go around treating people like this. I shall see you tomorrow so good night." Kagome stated in a cold voice.

"Good night?" as the last thing she heard from him before she hung up.

After closing the floor, Kagome fell to the floor in relief and took in a much needed breath. Not only was she out of breath from the Sharpe pain that she had received from Sesshomaru but she was also glad that all the body was now able to relax. Just as she was about to look at Sango so see her reaction she heard her friend say, "Wow…not even I have been able to pull off what you just did. You sounded like a true royal."

"Yeah, I have no idea where that came from but I guess it helped us out." Kagome replied with a smile as she stared at her TV.



"Are you really going to go with me? I mean my parents are going to be mad as hell and I don't want to see you get hurt." Sango asked in a low whisper as she stood up.

"If I didn't plan to go with you and would have not said anything of the short…now will you please sit down so that I can put the movie on?" Kagome replied.

Unable to hold herself back, Sango jumped on Kagome and hugged her while repeating over and over 'Thank you….thank you.' With a smile on her face Kagome hugged Sango until she was better again before the two of them began their fight as to which movie they were going to see. Meanwhile, Miroku, Inuyasha and Kohaku all stared at the three adults that had just been told off and kept quiet by a signal high school girl. Rin looked at her mate and asked, "What's wrong with you? You've never been this quiet before."

"Her voice…" Mr. Taijiya whispered.

"Was so stern yet soft…who is she?" Mrs. Taijiya added.

"Feh…shows you all right for trying to upset her or Sango." Kohaku stated before he walked out.

"Well now what do you want me to do brother?" Inuyasha asked.

"Make sure that there is nothing that we need to tend to…I believe that we will have most of our day with that one girl." Sesshomaru growled as he grabbed his mate and began to walk away.

"Will we be allowed to be here?" Mr. Taijiya asked.

"No, you and your wife are to enroll Ayame and help her settle in her apartment so that she can begin her search for the hidden princess." Sesshomaru answered as he and Rin walked out of the room.

"Why do we have to help look for this chick? I mean she has nothing to do with us." Inuyasha growled as he left the room to go and do what his brother told him to do.

"Because she is the only true heir to the thrown…don't forget what your brother told use." Miroku replied as he stood up to leave.

Flash Back

They all sat in a lone room as they waited to hear what the Lord of the Western lands had to say about his meeting with the King of the underworld. They knew that it was rather important if it couldn't wait until Sango was with them. Once he was sure that they were all seated and would keep quiet, Sesshomaru looked up at the door and nodded at his guard before he said, "First of all I would like you all to meet Ayame."

Soon all eyes turned toward to the door only to find a female wolf demon walking in with a whit and black shirt. Her hair was orange and her eyes were a brilliant green that anyone 

could get lost in. Once she was introduced, she gave a slight bow and said, "I am Ayame, the guardian of the heirs to the underworld. I am sorry to trouble you like this but we do not have much time. I, as well as the Underworld, need your help to save our home."

"What do you need our help for? Its not like if you have that little people in your clan." Inuyasha growled out.

"I need your help finding my charge. She was brought here to the human world. She does not know that she is the only heir to the Underworld. Should she be found, anyone that wants the thrown will forcefully take her." Ayame explained.

"Wait…how did this happen?" Miroku asked.

"Jezz your slow…King Amon hand a mistress just before he got married…right?" Kohaku stated.

"Kohaku!" his mother yelled.

"It's alright because that is the truth…anyway she was a hanyou miko and the head priestess before she disappeared from our senses." Ayame stated.

"She did not tell him that she was with a pup. We have yet to discover her reasons why." Sesshomaru replied.

"So that means you will be going to school with Ayame and looking for the missing heir with her after schools." Rin added.

"Then who is going to be bringing you home?" Inuyasha asked.

"We will." Both Mr. and Mrs. Taijiya answered.

"Very well, you all will start on the search first thing Monday." Sesshomaru stated as he singled the two demon slayers to call their daughter.

End of Flash Back.

"How can I?" Inuyasha growled as he slammed the door shut.

A/N: Well there you have it. Please let me know what you think. Oh and don't worry this is going to be a really happy ending. Please let me know what you think!!
