Chapter 25: Engage
Kagome walked slowly next to Sango. The butterfly perched upon its princess' shoulders. Her back was straight, and though the butterfly weighed next to nothing, there was a heavy weight on her shoulders. She desperately wished to slouch, to relax, but as princess it could not be done. She had to keep her posture.
"Do you know why the king and queen have summoned me, Sango?" Kagome spoke silently.
Sango was careful to maintain the formalities in this area of the castle, "No, princess, I was not told the reason. I was only told to bring you to them."
Kagome hummed. Soon they were standing in front of the large doors that lead to the throne room. The guards there bowed before the princess, as they opened the doors.
The king and queen stood before their thrones as they stared at their daughter.
"Kagome, please come closer."
Sango found a spot to stand at next to the wall as Kagome made her way to stand closer to her parents.
"May I ask why you have summoned me?"
The king spoke with a deep voice that resonated, "This," he motioned to a familiar young man, "is Naraku. He is your betrothed."
Yes, it has been a while, but here we are. And now it is that time again. You my darling readers have one week to review and tell me what you want to see when next we meet. If there is no review by Monday April 9th, I will be forced to write a chapter without your thoughts.
