Life's Unfair

Last left off - 'what? Oh no, it can't be' "Princess Shanna?" Mina ask softly.

Chapter cinco - Reacquainted

"Shss, not so loud." Sage covered Mina's mouth. "Don't call me that, I don't want to relive that horrible life." Sage dropped her hand down.

"So, so the ones who killed your husband is the queen and king???" Mina was truly shocked.

"They don't fit to be king and queen! And ...he isn't ...we didn't...we're not married." Sage said quietly. "It's forbidden to love a slave."

"A slave?" Mina's eyes widen. "You loved a .."

"Slave...yes, and I have no regrets about it. He was the love of my life!" Sage placed her hands to her heart. "I will never forget his words..."I'll do anything to be with you unless death do us part shall I will be away, and forgive me once that day comes" ...he meant every word of it to."

"So that must mean he knew he was going to die..." Mina look at Sage to see if she was right.

"Yes, but he didn't care. How rare is it that you could find true love Mina? That you could find someone who's willing to die just to be with you?...and you him?." Sage turned away from Mina. "I want to be with him, I want to die but I can't. I cannot leave my kids, our kids, alone in this world. So I'm waiting till they grow up and settle down, that's when I'll be reunited with him once again." Sage smiled and turn back to Mina. "True love is hard to find, so never let it go unless you have no other choice."

Mina nodded and pulled Sage into a hug. "Your so strong Shanna, you've gone this far...don't give up." Mina move away so she could see eye to eye with her 'old buddy'. "I'm here for you now."

Sage sat up and took Mina's right hand in hers. "Thank you so much Mina, that means a lot to me."

"Mommy!! Jun won't share the candy!!" a little boy with greenish looking eyes and red hair ran into Sage's arms.

"Jun, give Doc some candy..." Sage ordered.

"He's such a baby!" Jun gave Doc two pieces and glare at the little boy.

Doc stuck his tongue out and giggled as Jun chase him around the candy stand saying "you little brat" and "come back here!".

Sage smiled. "I don't know just how I could survive without them."

Mina stood up and grab her bag. "Let's get going."

"Already? Why so soon?" Sage look up at Mina.

'Cause my father will be mad if I stay a little longer, he's probably already yelling at his agents "She's late" and "where the impropriate word could she be?" and stuff.' "I need to get home." Was all Mina managed to say. ' Sage doesn't need to know how hot tempered my father is, besides, she'll meet him soon.'

"Ok then." Sage stood up and call her kids over. "Jun, Doc, Kouga, and Lenny...before we leave, I would like you guys to met Ms. Kenshin"

"Call me Mina." Mina raise her hand out to shake their hands.

"Hi Mina." Kouga shook it first.

"Nice to meet you." Lenny high five her.

"Hey...high five!" Jun place his hand out. Mina was about to hit it but Jun move it away. "Loser." He laughed.

"That wasn't very nice, say sorry Jun." Sage pulled the boy back to face Mina.

"I'm sorry." Jun apologize then walk away.

Mina was sure there was four. She looked around. Mina giggled when she spotted a small figure behind Sage. "Hey there little one."

Sage smiled and took a step aside. She grab hold of his shirt before he got to take a step behind her. "Doc, say hi to Mina." She ushered him forward.

The little boy put both his hands behind him. He look back at Sage but she turned him back around. "I like your Chips." He said nervously.

Mina laughed and look at her bag. Inuyasha's unfinished bag of chips was inside. You could see it since her bag was unzipped. Mina grab the bag out and handed it to Doc who took it. "Hey, I'm Mina." She put her hand out.

"Doctrine the monkey." Doc replied and scratch his head with one hand while the other hand scratch his side and the bag of chips in his mouth. He jumped up and down making money grunts.

Mina can't help but laughed at that. It was so cute. It reminded her of when Inuyasha pretended to be a tiger. Mina's expression sadden at the memory. 'Oh Inuyasha, how are you doing?'
