Kiniro Sakura

Chapter Thirteen: The Meeting

Sakura sat relaxing in the hotsprings thinking about the meeting that she just left.

~Flashback~

"Does anyone know what is causing the fights?" Sesshoumaru asked. It was silent for a while before Sakura spoke up.

"I know some things about this fight but I do not know who or what is causing the fights." She said. All eyes turned to her. She looked to Oshika and he nodded. She took a deep breath before continuing.

"I was told by some fellow Lords and Ladies, that have passed away, that there is a war starting up and they want us to find out who is causing it and destroy them. I have a sneaking suspicion that I know who it is but I will not say any names now until I am certain that it is them." She finished and looked at some of the Lords disbelieving faces. Lord Hinoki's advisor stood up and bowed before he spoke.

"How do we know we can trust this girl, after all she is a Kitsune." He spat the last word out with bitterness. Sakura jumped up and started growling.

"How dare you insult my race. I am only one part of the Kitsune race and I have more power than any of them so you would be better off not speaking ill of them." She hissed. The advisor narrowed his eyes at her and was about to say something else when Tsuki and Keshi butted into the conversation.

"We know we can trust her as we have done business with her in the past and she has not once betrayed us or anyone we know!" Tsuki snarled. Keshi put on arm on his mate's hand and glared at the advisor.

"She is right. Lady Sakura would not betray us unless she has good reason too. Besides, she probably has more power than all of the demons in this room combined!" He growled. Sakura shot him a glare for giving out too much information about herself and then turned back to the advisor. Hinoki was now glaring at his advisor and Tsubaki was smiling apologetically at Sakura.

"Nusumu, you will not speak again unless I give you permission." Hinoki growled at his advisor. Nusumu looked frightened before nodding and sitting back down, glaring at Sakura the whole time. She just smirked and redirected her attention back to Sesshoumaru who was now speaking.

"I suggest that we work on this some more in the morning as it is late and you probably want to get some rest from your long journey." He said coldly. Everyone agreed and Sakura was led once again out the door by Oshika. She left for the hotsprings to think and relax.

~End of Flashback~

Sakura opened her eyes when she heard someone knock on the door. She said a faint 'come in' and slid back into the water. Lady Tsubaki, Tsuki, Suiren, and Umi entered the room. Sakura smiled at them which they returned gratefully. After all of them were situated in the hotsprings they started talking about the meeting. Sakura joined in here and there but overall didn't say much.

"Sakura, why did Lord Keshi say that you had so much power?" Suiren asked with a curious face on. Sakura looked nervous for a second and glanced at Tsuki. Tsuki nodded and Sakura slowly stood up and put on a yakuta.

"I am not feeling very well so if you'll excuse me, I will be leaving now." She said as she left the room. All of the woman looked at each other and shrugged, except for Tsuki, who understood completely.

~In Sakura's Bedroom~

Sakura sighed and put on a sleeping kimono and flopped onto her bed. Today has been way too weird. First Rin gets attacked by a demon and then that same demon warns me that someone is coming to kill me before he dies. Then all of the Lords and their mates come and I recognize two of them. And now a war is starting up. Life's to complicated. Sakura slowly drifted off to sleep with these last thoughts.
