That it is

Kagome ran after Sango, but Sango was a fast runner, so she was already far away.

"Sango, wait." She yelled. Sango just kept on running. Either she didn't hear or she just chose to ignore Kagome.

Kagome tried again. "Sango wait for me. I'm Kagome. Wait for me."

Sango stops and turns around. Kagome recognized the look on Sango's face. Sango had a pout on her face and her eyes were glistening with tears unshed. It was Sango's infamous look that she uses when she really doesn't want something. Kagome sighed inwardly and raced toward Sango huffing and puffing, thinking. 'I am really unlucky today. First it was the invitation and now it's Sango.'

Kagome stopped in front of Sango and took a deep breath before talking. "Sango, what's wrong?" Kagome asked, truly confused because Sango hardly uses this expression.

"I received an invitation from the king to go to a ball." Sango replied, sadly.

"I did, too. I have to go to the ball, but I don't want to go."

"Neither do I, but it's mandatory. We can't do anything to stop this."

"Yeah..." Kagome mumbled. "Oh I know what to do, but..."

"Kagome, just say it already!" Sango cried.

"Okay, okay. All we have to do is be ourselves and do whatever we want at the ball. The king is bound to see our bad manners. He wouldn't want the brides to have bad manners." Kagome said smiling widely. "We should also bring some unladylike things just to freak him out."

"That's a good idea. I don't see how it will hurt, so let's try it out." Sango said. Finally relaxed and jolly again. "I'm going to go take a walk in the woods."

"No you're not. You're just looking out for demons."

Sighing, Sango said. "You know me too well."

Laughing, Kagome said. "You had your hand settled on your boomerang and you're already in your exterminator clothes, so I knew that you were getting prepared for any demons. "

Sango looked down at her clothes and boomerang and smiled sheepishly.


Author's Note:

Thanks to all the reviewers.

Inuyashazgrl- I'm glad that you like the story. I do have your email and you are free to email me. I'd really like to accept your offer to help me, but I really want to try to finish this story by myself, since this is my first. You could give me some criticism though. Thanks again.

SakuraWolf26- I hope you keep reading. =)

Kagome Girl- The first couple of chapters are short, but the other chapters will get longer eventually.

RCRhyo15- Thanks for the idea of writing in a notepad. I'm doing just that at night now. I'm a visual person, too, so I like stories to have visuals. I'll add that in soon.

Babli16- LOL, you're the third person to ask for longer chappies. They will be long soon enough.

Sayonara for now.
