Chapter 9: Three Years

Princess Sango

Anna…

I opened my eyes and felt someone wriggling in my grasp. Sighing I let go of the wriggling person, "Yoshiko, go wake up Manta."

Yoshiko gave me a big toothy grin and ran out of the room. I rolled over and saw Amidamaru in the corner, but before I could ask him anything, he disappeared. Sighing I got up and got dressed. Sure, Manta has helped me even after the rudeness he lived with. I opened the door and walked to the kitchen to see Yoshiko sitting at the table patiently and Manta was making breakfast.

"Good morning Anna-chan."

I nodded to him and sat down next to Yoshiko and Ryu. That's when Manta placed the food on the table and sat down. I took the servings for me and Yoshiko and soon everyone was eating. That's when Manta spoke up, "I'm going out today and I'll be back in time for dinner."

"C-can I go too Uncle Manta?"

He looked at me and I saw he was asking permission, "Hai you can go with Uncle Manta, Yoshiko."

"Yay!"

I hugged him close, "I'll see you at dinner okay? I have to go do some things around the house."

"Okay mommy!"

I walked out leaving the boys to their own devices.

Manta…

I smiled as Anna left, "Okay Yoshiko, go get ready and meet me by the door. Ryu you have dishes?"

"Hai, you can go."

I headed towards the door and picked up my shoes and shoved them on. Then I waited for Yoshiko, which I didn't have to wait long, and I picked him up and we headed out. If I was short, like I was three years ago, this wouldn't have been possible, but now I'm 5' 2'' and can hold him. I headed outside where Amidamaru was waiting.

"Where's Yoh Amidamaru?"

"Follow me Lord Manta, for we shall go there together."
