The young man sat there on the window sill of his guest room in the palace. He really didn't want to be there at the moment…He wanted to be alone with the one he loved. Yes that is where the young prince wanted to be, with his beloved.

'Kikyo'

His long silver hair glimmered in the sunlight of midday. His warm amber eyes that held so much emotion intently gazed at the garden below. He thought it was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen. Sakura trees lined a dirt path that lead to two separate gardens, one a flower garden, with roses all around with some tulips and daisies, while the other held many species of vegetables, such as carrots and lettuce.

"Inuyasha?" a young male voice asked seeking entrance to his quarters.

"Yeah Miroku…come on in," came his gruff reply.

The large double doors creaked open to reveal a young man with a nice build. He had beautiful violet eyes and short black hair tied in a pony tail at the nape of his neck. He had a kind, yet perverted smile on his face.

"Now what are you up to?"

"Nothing, just thinking."

Suddenly, he saw a sight that he thought he would never see until he went back to his home in the West.

"Kikyo…"

Miroku rushed to the window knowing that that couldn't be possible.

"Inuyasha, you know that would never happen…" His sentence stopped suddenly.

The young man dressed in purple monk robes saw what the young prince was staring at. A women who looked almost identical to the women his best friend came to 'love' was walking around the garden. She was accompanied by a women slightly older, who was dressed in lightweight black and red armor. She seemed to be familiar to the art of demon slaying, with the large boomerang strapped onto her back. She had her hair in a pony tail atop her head.

The other woman however looked to be higher in rank, for she had on a gown that went straight down to the floor and had sapphires braided into her raven locks.

"Inuyasha…It's not her."

"Well I know that!"

'She is beautiful though…'

There was silence as the two young men stared at the sight before them.

"Miroku? Do you know who she is?"

"No I do not, sire. I apologize."

"No, no. There's no need to apologize. I was just curious. But there is one thing I need to ask of you."

"Yes, dear friend?"

"Find out who this young woman is."

"Yes, Inuyasha. I will figure it out as soon as dinner is served. But I must go. Have a nice afternoon and don't go running off… you're father and brother will become very upset."

"Yeah, yeah, I know!"

Inuyasha's left ear twitched with the sound of footsteps walking towards the entry way to his quarters. He then heard the gigantic doors close with a thump.

:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P

"Sango! It's so beautiful!"

"I'm glad, Lady Kagome."

"Look…the Sakura blossoms are almost at full bloom!"

The young lady danced and jumped with joy and excitement. She had never been outside the world of the palace before and on her sixteenth birthday, she was finally able to see the world for the first time. She was a five year old at that moment… and she loved it!

The older woman smiled at her child-hood friend. She knew and could see for herself, that no one would take away Kagome's innocence. Even if something were to spark in her dear friend to ever do such a thing…Sango would be right there, fighting for her. For Sango lost her child like self long ago…But Kagome had the gift to bring some of it back.
