Disclaimer: My hands are not my own. . . and my sanity . . . lost long ago. . . but Inuyasha? ~points to bound and gagged hanyou~ IS MINE!

AN: Yes. . . yes! I update! BWAHAHAHAHA. . . HA HA HA . . . HA! Though all those that read CinderRin and The Little MerKag (the other two stories in the Inu Tales Series) already know this. . . I am restating the fact that I will resume updating as of next week every three weeks. After that every two, then once a week, then twice. It will take a long time for my schedule to clear up enough for this to become possible, but I will be trying. For now, here is one of the final chapters of Sleeping Sango (I estimate about four more).

Sleeping Sango

Run

~*~*~*~Last Time ~*~*~*~

And the only thing that Kagome could do was sing that still faded lullaby, and rock Sango into a crying sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Is it done?"

"Yes m'lady, the spindle has been set up . . . tis only a matter of time"

"Good! Kukukukukukukuku! Revenge will be mine! Kukukukukuku!"

~*~*~*~ Now ~*~*~*~

"You look beautiful Princess Sango. . ."

Sango glanced away from the maids helping her dress. Her normally free flowing hair was tied into a neat bun, with two wavy wisps decorating her face. A ruby adorned crown rested upon her head, and ruby choker was being clasped around her neck. She moved uncomfortably in the stiff red and pink gown that she had been forced to wear, and stared at her reflection in the mirror.

"You are dismissed. . . hey! Get off me you crazy girls! Out!"

Sango turned, amusedly to watch as Inuyasha kicked the girls out of her room, and then as he looked her over with a fatherly look in his normally amused eyes.

"They're right you know. . . you look great Sasu. . . ahem . . . Princess Sango."

Tearfully she turned away and gave one last look at her reflection before she let Inuyasha lead her out of the room, and slowly down the stairs. . . to meet her future husband. . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Miroku let out a soft snort as he watched his father fidget with his hands in anticipation.

~No doubt waiting for the dowry that her parents will pay for this marriage~

Another breath escaped his lips as he heard the orchestra begin to play, and the chorus start to sing.

~Sasu. . . ~

His eyes widened as he watched the Princess be led down the stairs by a white haired man. She looked so much like her, despite her dress and posture. . . could it be?

~No. . . Sasu's eyes are not that empty. . .~

The announcer spoke loudly, almost boasting the Princess's beauty.

"PRINCESS SANGO!!!!!!!!!!!"

He found himself avoiding her gaze, but couldn't help getting pulled into it at least once. . . and then, when their eyes met . . . she ran. . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

She found herself gazing over at the faces that stared at her as if she were some sort of doll on display. Even worse was when she thought she spotted Mirhoushi. . . but instantly recognized the man as her future husband . . . Prince Mirhoushi. Looking deeper into his eyes she felt herself be cooled by the hatred that they held in them . . . so alike. . . so different. . . It wasn't until she thought she saw him mouth the word "Sasu" that she broke Inuyasha's hold on her arm. . . and ran upstairs. . . to the tower. . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Maybe I can be alone here . . . what's this? A spindle?"

AN: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry guys, I had to be fair, all the Inu Tales updates have been cliffhangers. . . It would be rude to exclude you. My next update will come at an estimated November twenty fifth. Of course. . . REVIEWs might help the cause . . .
