Chapter 2; An unexpected guest.

Sango had been somewhat insulted by her cousin's comment.

"Please, tell me you're joking!" Sango shot, while she rolled her eyes.

Kagome giggled again, "A mere Footman liiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkessssssssssssss yooooooooouuuuuuuu!"

"Oh shut up Kagome!" Sango snapped, kicking Kagome in the shin.

Kagome just giggled, "What was his name, Miroku? OOOoooh! Sango and Miroku sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-"

"SHUT UP KAGOME!" Sango shouted, making the carriage stop.

Miroku peeked his head into the door of the carriage, "Is, everything in order ladies?"

Sango nodded, while Kagome began to giggle again.

"Alright then…. Drive on!" Miroku called the carriage driver, the carriage began to drive on again, while Kagome hummed the, K-I-S-S-I-N-G song.

When they arrived at the castle where the Ichi-go ball would be held the carriage stopped leaving the two bickering Cousins to stop and gaze upon the marvelous castle. The bricks were white, green vine seemed to crawl up it on every direction, and even though they were feet away Sango and Kagome could here the wonderful music that was playing inside.

Miroku appeared at the door of the carriage, "Well ladies, come on out! I'll escort you to the door."

Kagome was the first out of the carriage, Miroku just gave her smile and a nod.

Then Sango began to step out of the carriage, but being rather flustered from all of Kagome's singing she slipped on her dress and was about to fall on the ground when Miroku caught her. Leaving Kagome to giggle.

Sango blushed slightly, and muttered a, "Thank you."

Miroku nodded, his face was clustered red as well, "Well… Um, follow me ladies."

Miroku walked in front of Sango and Kagome, Kagome kept humming the, K-I-S-S-I-N-G song, leaving Sango redder than ever.

Miroku stopped at a large wooden door, the doorknobs were pink roses, with mint green leaves coming out from them, and the door was painted white.

"Well, here you are." Miroku said as he opened the door.

Kagome gave a loud, "WOW" As she saw the inside of the castle, clusters of people were everywhere, talking, laughing and some were dancing.

Sango smelled the air, just as she thought, it smelled of Strawberries.

Just as Sango, Miroku and Kagome walked in two men approached them.

"Good day Lady Kagome." Said one of the men, as he extended his arm.

"Well good day to you Inu- I mean, Sir Inuyasha." Kagome giggled again when she took Inuyasha's arm, they then headed of to the lunch table.

The other man looked cold and cruel, he snickered a bit as he saw Miroku, "So Sango, I see you have a footman following you."

"That's Miss Chan to you, Naraku." Sango snapped, giving the man an evil glare.

"Very well then, Miss Chan may I escort you away from the low life?"

Sango turned her head to Miroku, he looked somewhat shocked then somewhat sad, "Good Lady Sango. I wish you nothing but happiness and joy at-"

"Save it for the carriage footman." Naraku ordered.

Miroku bit his lower lip and nodded, he then began his way out the door.

"Good bye… Miroku!" Sango called to him.

Miroku turned his head and continued to walk, was it just her or did he smile?
