Notes: Well, I'm finally back for Chapter 2! THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS! I hope it's good, And let me know if you like it ^_^;
One thing, I was going to draw it out a bit, and bring Sango in the third chapter, but since everyone is so urgent for her to come in, I decided to rush it up a bit and bring her in now! Forgive me if it seems rushed. Also, I doubt this fic being over about ten chapters. Anyway, On to the chapter...
(Something else that's unimportant: Sango wears a different kimono but a similar Taijiya uniform.)
Warnings: None, Except for occasional bad language.

Chapter 2: Entrance
Kagome licked her lips as she finished her dinner. She sat the small bowl and chopsticks down on the wooden table before her. Across from her, Kikyou sat, her eyes closed, with her hands in her lap while Kaede smiled happily as she finished off her own meal. Kagome smiled, before standing up. "I would like to go get some fresh air." she said with a sigh.
Kikyou looked up at her, and nodded. Kagome then began to walk towards the door. There wasn't really much to do, and that was a fact. If only something exciting could happen in this village once in a while... 'I think I'll just go for a walk.' she decided, as she finally exited the small hut.
She had also noticed since yesterday, Kikyou had been acting a bit oddly. She hadn't said much, but kept looking at Kagome almost puzzled. The blackhaired girl shook her head slightly from side to side. 'What's wrong with her...?' Kagome decided to forget it for now and focus on finding something to do.
She looked around, Trees, More Huts, Grass, Horses... It was a nice place, Just nothing there to do to keep themselves busy. She sighed. Cleaning was something she was accustomed to doing, But their hut was already clean. There wasn't but a few specs of dust here and there. It wasn't as if Kikyou didn't help with the chores, It was only the fact that Kagome did it most in her spare time leaving Kikyou without much many to have to do... Of course, Since Kagome did do most of the chores, even if she didn't have to, Kikyou had agreed to wash the bowls, chopsticks, etc. Kagome would have gone back and washed those if it weren't for Kikyou...
"I wish there was something more to do than... just walk around." she breathed. Kagome heard someone coming, and spun around.
It was Kikyou.
Kagome tilted her head slightly to the side in confusion. "Kikyou?" she asked. Kikyou smiled, and continued over to her younger sister.
"I wanted to talk to you." Kikyou said, causing Kagome to blink. What could Kikyou want to say to her? Kagome's curiosity was piquing.
"It... Listen, I think you are doing great with your miko training but... I guess I've been wanting to talk to you about something since yesterday... You see..." Kikyou sighed, "I will be marrying." Kagome's mouth hung agape in shocked curiousity. Marry? Kikyou? Marry?
Kikyou placed a hand on Kagome's shoulder. "I hope you understand. But, You will have to complete your miko training on your own..." Kikyou smiled, and Kagome finally regained her composure.
"What... do you mean?" she asked. Kikyou looked down almost sadly.
"Because, Once I'm married, You will have responsibilty to take over. I'm sorry." she said. Kagome was stunned.
Kagome, after finally regaining her composure and swallowing a lump in her throat, replied, "I-It's alright, Kikyou-san... But, Why have you decided to...?"
"Marry?" Kikyou finished for her, "I'm... in love." she smiled and Kagome couldn't help but return it.
"Why were you so worried? Did you think I couldn't handle it, Kikyou-san?" she asked. Kikyou sighed.
"No, I just... didn't know how to tell you... But I knew I had to..."
"Well, I'm glad you did... What would happen if one day, I got up and found you missing, and ran into the village just to hear someone tell me, "Kikyou? Oh, She's married now."." Kagome said with a small giggle. Her sister nodded, and turned to head back inside the tiny hut. Kagome watched after her, and sighed.
"Now, What?"
*
"Who is she?" a person said, looking over the fence, surrounding the small village. Kagome walked up to the edge of the building, remaining hidden behind it, curiously, tilting her head in confusion before turning to the person approaching them. The, obvious, woman wore a dark blue kimono, her hair reaching her waste, tied back near the bottom into a tiny ponytail. Her head was tilted slightly down, hiding her eyes behind a curtain of hair. On her back, she carried a rather large boomerang, Kagome noted.
Probably a traveling warrior...
The woman finally arrived at the gate. "What is it you that brings you to our village...?" a man asked, uncertainly. The woman's appearance wasn't very appealing. She lifted her head, revealing to dark brown eyes and an absolutely beautiful visage. Kagome was amazed. She kept her distance from the gate, and remained back behind the building.
"I seak a place to stay..." the woman stated, her hair blowing with the breeze.
"We have no room in our village for warriors," another said, and the woman narrowed her eyes.
"Yeah, Warriors are nothing but blood-thirsty demons-"
"Silence yourself." the woman cut in. Her voice was sharp and cold.
The woman turned and began to walk away... And that's when Kagome cut in. "No! Wait!" she called. The woman turned suddenly, as Kagome ran to the gate, the other villagers immediatly clearing the way for her.
"Lady Kagome," a villager said, shock in her tone, "What has gotten into you?"
"This woman should stay here." Kagome stated, slightly breathless. The villagers gasped strangely. Kagome nodded her head from side to side, "You don't understand. She has a good heart--"
"She will stay." Kikyou's voice cut in, as she walked up, and layed a hand on her sister's shoulder. "My sister obviously believes she will bring no harm to us. Let her in." Kagome smiled, and turned her head back to the woman. She nodded in appreciation and walked back to the gate.
"Are you certain, lady Kikyou?" a villager questioned. Kikyou smiled and nodded. The woman was let inside, and Kikyou turned to Kagome.
"Show her to the empty hut, She can borrow it while she is here." Kikyou said. Kagome nodded, and ran up beside the woman. The blackhaired mystery turned her head to the girl beside her.
"It's okay. I'm just gonna show you to the empty hut," Kagome stated, and the woman gave her a slightly cold glare, before turning her gaze back in front of her.
A moment later, spent in silence, they were at the door of the hut. The woman gave her a silent thank you before turning toward the door. "Um, Wait a second..." Kagome said, drawing the gaze of the woman to her.
"It's just, I wanted... to know your name?" Kagome asked, smiling brilliantly. The woman was surprised. 'Why isn't this girl afraid of me? Why doesn't she hate me?' She then responded, unsurely...
"... It's... Sango."
