~*~Chapter Two: The Shikon Shard and Kouga, Leader of the Wolf Clan~*~
Kagome and I walk back to our room. Miroku and Inuyasha are sitting on the couches, waiting for us. "Finally!" Inuyasha growls. We all leave to go explore the town. As we walk outside, many more people that looked like tourists crowded the streets. We almost get stampeded on! "Hey, I sense a Shikon Shard right now!" Kagome exclaims. We all look at her. "It seems like it's moving closer to us, quickly. . ." I look in the distance and see a large cloud of dust, coming down a hill from the woods. It looks like. . .a pack of wolves?! Finally, the pack comes up to us, and, I guess the leader, stops and runs up to Kagome. "Ah, men. It's my woman, Kagome!" the leader says to his clan. "Kagome! You - you know this guy?!" Inuyasha growls. "Know him? He practically kidnapped me! His name is Kouga." Kagome responds, unhappily. "I can't believe you forgot about me, Kouga!" Kouga lowers head. "Kagome, I am TRULY sorry. . .would you like me to SAVE you from this filthy Hanyou?" Inuyasha growls and pounds Kouga on the head. Kouga was a wolf-demon. He could turn into a wolf and a human. When he was in his human state, he wore furs around his shoulders. His hair was pulled up in a pony tail and he had pointy ears, not the dog ears like Inuyasha did on the top of his head. He wore a "warrior(?) skirt" and had long arms and legs.
"Kagome. . .I'm confused. Who in the WORLD is this guy?!" I ask, dumbfounded. "Tell you later." Kagome mutters. "Um, Inuyasha, let's continue. . .looking around. . .town." Then she realizes something. Kouga has two Shards in his legs!! She looks down and sees them, shining brightly in his calves. 'How are we going to get it?' Kagome wonders. She nudges me and whispers into my ear that Kouga has the Shards. I nod and I tell Miroku and Inuyasha. A large crow flies down and lands in front of Kouga, and pecks at his calves. What luck! The two Shards pop out of two small scratches from the crow in each leg and I catch them faster than you can blink.
Kouga didn't even realize what had just happened! He turns around and waves farewell to Kagome-chan and TRIES to run off, but without his precious jewels, he can't run as fast. "Wha - why can I not run as fast as I usually can??" Kouga asks, bewildered. I whistle casually, stuffing the Shards discretely into Kagome's knap-sack. Kouga cocks his head and says, "Well, I guess we're off then. . .farewell, Lady Kagome." He and his clan takes off back up the hill.
". . .So that's Kouga." Kagome told us of what had happened between Kouga and her. When she had first entered through the well for the first time coming into feudal era Japan, she was immediately snatched by Kouga with lightening speed. She was then saved by Inuyasha. After then, she fell in love with her rescuer. Then Miroku came into the picture after they met him in a small village. Then, that's where I come in sometime after.
No longer was I confused about the wolf-demon. "Did you get the Shards, Sango-chan? Oh never mind, here they are." Kagome pulls out the two jewels from her bag. She places her bag back in the basket of her bike. (A/N: I never mentioned before about her dragging along her bike. So, sorry. Hey, I know! I have an idea! It's a "magical" bike.. yea, and whenever she wants it, it appears next to her! LOL) "Well, shall we continue?" I say. The others nod as we go walking in and out of shops. They had all kinds of souvenirs, like medieval castles with dragons and other things. As Shippo was looking at a souvenir, he knocked it over and it shattered into pieces. "AH! NO! THAT WAS MY RAREST SOUVENIR AND YOU BROKE IT, YOU CARELESS LITTLE KITSUNE! OUT I SAY, OUT!!" The owner of the shop screams in fury. He "escorts" us out, quickly slamming the door shut. "What was HIS problem??" Shippo scoffs. We all give him a look. "Well, sorry!" he retorts. Inuyasha stomps on his head. "You idiot." "Osuwari." BAM!
As we walk away from the shop we were kicked out from, another crowd came upon us. "Look! It's Sango, the demon exterminator! We must take her to the prince right away! She is certainly worthy!" the crowd shouts. Immediately, I am dragged along away from the small area we were standing in. Kagome and Inuyasha follow, along with Miroku. "But, wait! We didn't even get to sleep in the room I got us!" Miroku shouts. Everyone sweatdrops.
Pretty soon, a large stone castle appears. A pretty garden and pond are just yards away from it, with a willow tree's branches draping over the pond. Then, I spotted a young man sitting on a bench, tossing food into the pond for the fish. As he heard people approaching, he stood up very quickly. "Your highness, Prince Takeda, we have brought you a visitor. Her name is Sango!"
The young man, Prince Takeda, stood up and walked rather quickly over to me. He took my hand in his and introduced himself. "My name is Prince Takeda. It's a pleasure to meet you. . .- " " - Sango. My name is Sango. Nice to meet you too. . ." I muttered. What a prick! I. . .I think he likes me! Well, one thing's for sure, I don't! Miroku didn't seem to like him getting all buddy-buddy with me. He runs up and put his hands on my shoulders and pulls me away from the prince, giving him a suspicious look. "And. . .who might YOU be, I wonder?" the prince retorted, still gazing at me. "I am Miroku, thank you very much!" 'Is - is Miroku jealous?' I wondered. "Come Sango, let's depart." The prince said, wrapping his arm around my waist, walking off into the castle. I feel like slapping him, but I can't, because he's ROYAL. . .feh. I look back over my shoulder at Miroku with a worried look. I mouth the words 'save me from this weirdo!' Miroku nods and runs after us.
That night, as I got into one of the beds on the second floor of the castle, (Prince Takeda told us to stay the night.) I see Miroku standing by the balcony outside the room I'm sharing with him. He seems to be lost in thought. . .I get up, walk over to him, and wrap my arms around his chest. "Something bothering you, Miroku?" I ask. He looks over at me and gazes into my eyes. "No - nothing at all. . .why?" Miroku lies. "You just seem upset. . .and don't think I like that creep of a prince." I comfort him. "It's. . .getting a little cool out, don't you think, Sango-chan?" "A little." I shiver. He notices I'm cold, so he wraps his arms around me, making the cold disappear. (Aww. . . -^.^-) I look at him and smile and he smiles back at me. ^-^ "I'm - gonna go back inside. Care to join me, Lady Sango?" Miroku says, a grin widening on his face. "Let me think about it. . .um, sure!" He smiles again and scoops me up in his big strong arms and carries me inside! Score for Sango! He lays me down on my bed and. . .(uh-oh) lies down next to me. 'Please don't try anything hasty, Miroku!' I think.
Instead, he just rests his head against mine. Just at that moment, Kagome and Inuyasha walk in. Their faces grow larger and red as they try to hold in their laughter. "Heh - HAHA! So. . .what're you two trying to do, eh?? Actually, don't tell me." Inuyasha bursts out laughing. "Miroku-sama, um, was just keeping me warm." I say. Kagome gives me a look. "Whatever. . ." She and Inuyasha crawl into their own beds, saying goodnight. Miroku and I do the same. That night, I have a peculiar dream. It's with me, Takeda, Miroku, Kagome, Inuyasha, and. . .Naraku.
**************************************************************************** ***
**I run through the halls with Miroku, searching for Takeda. Miroku says, "'I sense evil in him.'" We open doors and go through hallways and finally, we run down to the chamber. Kagome and Inuyasha are chained to the walls in there. Then, two other pairs of chains come up to Miroku and me. My hands get binded by the chains and I struggle to get out of its hold, but I get thrown back against the wall. Miroku is binded to the wall too, hitting the wall with a loud CRASH. Then, a hole appears in the middle of the floor. Slowly, a figure comes up from it. It's Prince Takeda! "TAKEDA! You've got to help us!" I exclaim. He just chuckles. A second figure comes up from the hole behind him. It's dark at first, but then, I see a baboon pelt. "NARAKU!" Inuyasha growls, trying to pull off the chains. The chains rip from the wall and he pulls out Tetsugia. He is about to crash it down on Naraku, but is stopped by Takeda. "Takeda, why do you side with Naraku, the lord of evil??" Kagome groans. "He has no control on who he wishes to side with, fool. I am his lord now." Naraku chuckles. "Destroy them. Starting with this one." Naraku pointed at me. "As you wish. . .milord." Takeda suddenly came up to me, pulled out a sword, raised it above my head. . .
