A Lady Knight's Tale
Sango sighed as Kagome took out dress after dress. Kagome herself looked lovely in her silver brocade gown. But Sango...how could she ever pull this off?
"This one is just perfect!" Kagome said as she held out a lilac-colored gown.
Sango nodded as she feigned disinterest. It was actually very pretty, not too flouncy or elaborate. She took it, feeling the smooth silk of the fabric.
"Want me to help you dress up?" Kagome volunteered
"Lady Kagome! That wouldn't be right, would it? I'm a man after all." Sango said, unwilling to tell Kagome about everything just yet.
"Oh, stop being so formal and just call me Kagome!" the archer said " I was just kidding! I'll leave you to dress but I want to help you fix up, ok? she said as she left the room.
Miroku stared, mouth agape at the vision that was Sango. Her hair, let down, was combed in soft waves, a light, rosy tint graced her eyelids and steady blush colored her cheeks. Apparently, Kagome did a very good job. Sango was...he looked like...a woman.
"Miroku -sama stop staring! I feel uncomfortable already as it is!" Sango protested, trying to make her voice sound even more manly, and tugging at her dress in a vain effort to pull it up.
"Are you sure you're a man?" Miroku asked as he put his hands on her chest. "Are these real?"
WHACK
"You pervert! Of course I'm a man!" Sango huffed as she slung Hiraikotsu across her back, blushing furiously.
Luckily she used cloth for that special detail and he didn't suspect a thing.
"Oh so they aren't!" Miroku said disappointedly "But you are so into the role."
"But that won't do." he said
"What won't do?" Sango asked.
"Your boomerang. They might get suspicious. Leave it here and bring a smaller weapon instead."
Sango thought it over for a moment. It did make sense, Kouga and Kagura might suspect that they had something up their sleeves if she showed up with a weapon as large as the Hiraikotsu. Well...
"You sure you'll be ok?" Inuyasha said as he helped Kagome up her horse.
"Oh, I never knew you cared..." Kagome said teasingly
"Feh. Forget it. I couldn't care less." Inuyasha muttered
Kagome looked at the hanyou and smiled. "Of course we'll be ok. Believe in me."
"Do I look like I have a choice?" he said, frowning.
"Once you get the Tessaiga, give it to Inuyasha and we'll handle the rest. That's plan A." Miroku instructed "But if they decide to double-cross us, which is most likely, and not let you come back with the sword, use this." Miroku handed the girl a small brown satchel. It must be some kind of poison, Kagome thought "Get them to smell it, I'm sure you can think of a way to. I already explained this to Sango. Godspeed."
Inuyasha and Miroku watched as she waved goodbye. Sango was waiting for her up ahead and they had no time to lose.
The Wind User and the Wolf Prince waited at the mountain peak where it was snowing softly. Kouga sniffed the air. "They're here." he said
"So you decided to come after all." Kagura said as Sango and Kagome approached. "What, two pretty ladies?"
"The bargain, Lady Kagura. Tessaiga in exchange for Kagome." Sango said
"What audacity..." Kagura drawled "Can't you see you're in our hands?" she continued "But very well, here." The sword lay at Sango's feet.
Good. Plan A, Sango thought, finding it impossible to believe that they had kept their word.
"You thought it would be that easy?" The wind caught Sango and Kagome up and the two of them were a few meters in the air, turning at dizzying speeds. It was the last thing Sango remembered.
Sango woke up first, Kagome was beside her, still unconscious. They were in a cave of some sort, it was so small, and the ceiling was low, but more importantly, their captors were nowhere in sight.
"Kagome, Kagome...wake up." Sango shook her companion lightly.
Kagome finally opened her eyes "Oooh, my head hurts." she said as she rubbed her forehead gingerly
"We're in a cave somewhere--" Sango began
"Oh, I can see that." Kagome interrupted, as she looked around.
"They'll be back for us. When they do-- Do you still have that satchel Miroku gave you?" Sango asked
"Wait..." Kagome rummaged through her cloak. "Here it is!" she handed it to Sango who tore the hem of her skirt, poured a bit of the "poison" in it and tied it loosely with bit of string. She did this until the satchel was empty.
"I'm sorry about the dress, Lady Kagome.." Sango apologized
"Oh, don't mind it. We have more important things at hand. "
"When they come through that opening, try to hit the rocks above their heads with those "bombs" I made. That way, the powder will scatter. Hopefully, it'll work...Oh and cover your nose when the powder scatters, I don't know what it does. Miroku wouldn't tell me."
Kagome nodded, her face serious. The two of them positioned themselves behind some rocks at either side of the cave opening.
"What the heck is taking them so long?" Inuyasha said as he looked toward the mountain peak worriedly. Some boulders obscured the view and they couldn't see a thing.
"They'll be fine. Sango is with her." Miroku reassured him
"Don't be so sure."
Miroku and Inuyasha looked up to see Kouga, his rougish blue eyes flashed with contempt. Behind him, hundreds of wolves crouched, ready to hunt their prey.
