Andreah Treole: Sorry about that. I'll try to stop.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and you all know that so why do I have to continue to write this?!

Sango swam into the throne room ready to put the new plan into action. She knelt before the King and Queen.
"Sango, what's the matter?" Artesia asked not failing to notice the serious look on her daughter's face.
"Mother, I would like to oversee the travel to the surface world." Sango said keeping the serious look on her face. Inwardly she smiled. Her acting classes had really paid off.
Artesia was visibly surprised at Sango's request.
"You can barely keep track of your own visits to the surface. What makes you think you can take care of others?" The King said coldly. Artesia shot him a look and Zenas quieted.
"I can do this Mother, please?" Sango said ignoring her father's statement.
"Alright Sango." The queen said
"Thank you so much." She said smiling at her mom, "Father." She said turning to him and bowing respectively. She left the room and closed the door behind her.
Artesia looked at her husband. "How could you say those things to your daughter?"
Zenas glanced at her, "I only spoke the truth."
"You didn't have to be so rude about it even if it is the truth!"
"I'm telling you that putting her in charge of that and other things is a mistake and will only lead to disaster."
"And why is that?"
"She is our Chosen One! What would happen if she got kidnapped by the darkness fortold? What if she runs away? What if she meets the other three Chosens?" Zenas ranted.
"What if the water turned to ice and your nose falls off?" Artesia said sarcasticly. "Sango can take care of herself. I trust her and so should you." (A/N the first sentace she said is a modified quote for Pocahontas)
"It's a mistake."
"Then who do you suggest we put in charge?"
"We can take care of it the way we have been for years."
"Things have changed over the years Zenas, whether you have noticed it or not. We are on the brink of war with the merpeople from the south. If Sango takes over this job now and a few others later on then we will have more time to plan what we need to and to take care bigger problems."
Zenas sighed in defeat, "You're right."
"Of course I'm right." Artesia smiled triumphantly.
Tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
"Are you sure about this?" Kagome asked
"Sort of." Sango replied
"How do you know she will head to the surface world?" Inucenaru asked
"If my parents find out about Odessa and Ozona attacked a royal guest they will end up in the dungeon." Sango said as they turned into the main hall.
They swam down the hall and as they made their way Inucenaru stopped. Kagome glanced at her.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked
"Who is this Sango?" Inucenaru asked not taking her eyes off the painting of the woman with long black hair. A woman who looked vaugly familiar.
Kagome looked at the portrait as well. She studied the face of the woman. 'She looks so familiar. Like a dream I had so long ago.' Kagome thought
"That's a woman from the surface world. She appeared here years ago and she recently left to find her daughter I believe."
"What was her name?" Kagome asked.
"Sorry, I cannot remember." Sango said. "Come, we must hurry."
The other two nodded and followed Sango outside the palace. Even as they approached their destination Kagome couldn't get the face of the woman out of her mind.
They arrived at the station and Inucenaru looked around a bit while Kagome sat down deep in thought and Sango got everything set up.

"I bored," Kagome said after losing her 10th game of Rock, Paper, Scissors with Inucenaru.
"You're just mad because you keep on losing." Inucenaru laughed
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP!" Sango yelled
"Sorry Sango." Inucenaru said
"We've been here for a long time already and no has come yet." Kagome added
"Are you sure they will head to the surface?" Inucenaru asked.
"Of course" Sango said
"Okay." Kagome said uncertantly
"How about another round of Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Inucenaru asked turning to Kagome.
"Sure," Kagome said, "I'm going to win this time!"
"I'll be right back." Sango said.
"Where are you going?" Kagome asked before she started the new game.
"I want to go and get something I left at the palace."
"Do want us to go with you?" Inucenaru asked
"No, I'll be fine."
"Can you bring me back some food?" Kagome asked
"Is that all you think about?" Sango laughed
"You can blame Inuyasha. I got it from him."
"Alright." Sango said still laughing. "Here I want you two to take this." Sango said pulling at two silver chains around her neck. At the end of one chain there was a blue pouch. At the end of the other one hung a red pouch.
"What are these for?" Kagome asked taking the blue one while Inucenaru took the red one.
"The blue one has the powder that will transform you into a human. The red will transform you into a mermaid." Sango explained
"What about you?" Inucenaru asked
"I have another set of poaches at home. I have to get that two while I'm there." Sango replied.
"Are you sure you don't want us to go with you?" Inucenaru offered again.
"Don't worry! I can take care of myself." Sango assured swimming out the door smiling.
As soon as Sango went out the door Inucenaru frowned. It was obvious to her that both of her friend's laughs and smiles were all forced. She knew that they were really crying inside the same way she was.
Kagome turned back to her, "Okay! Let's play. I'll stop letting you win now!" She declared
Inucenaru laughed

Kagome abandoned their game and swam over to the door. She looked around outside.
"What's wrong?" Inucenaru asked looking out as well.
"Don't you think Sango should be back by now?" Kagome asked going out side a little still her eyes still scanning the horizon.
"You're right." Inucenaru said, "I didn't realize so much time went by."
"I hope she's alright."
"Should we go look for her?"
Kagome nodded.
They swam quickly to the palace. When they finally got there Kagome stopped and looked around thinking.
"Where should we look?" She asked, "This place is huge and we haven't seen half of it."
"I know." Inucenaru said after a moment of thinking. She began swimming down the hall.
"Where?" Kagome asked following her
"The grotto!" Inucenaru said stopping in front of the hidden entrance. She glanced around the hall and saw no one. So she opened the door and swam in with Kagome on her tail.
"Sango?" Kagome called out.
Silence was the only thing that answered her.
"Kagome look at this!" Inucenaru said suddenly.
"What is it?" Kagome asked coming towards her
"A note." She replied reading it
"Oh my God." Kagome said her eyes going wide as she read it over Inucenaru's shoulder.
"They kidnapped her!" Inucenaru gasped.
"We have to do something!"
"What can we do? You read the letter. If we tell the King and Queen they will hurt Sango."
"Then we won't tell them."
"What do expect us to then?"
"We can save her ourselves. And while we're at it we can save the guys too!
Kagome grinned, "Yay! Rescue mission!"
"Why are you happy?"
"I'm not." Kagome said her smile disappearing. "I haven't been able to cry or even show signs of sadness forever. Not since my mom and my dog died. It's sad isn't it. My only friends were my dog and my mother." Kagome laughing at herself. "They were the only ones who ever understood me."
"You shouldn't laugh." Inucenaru said sadly.
"I can't help it." Kagome said shaking her head. "If I ever feel any type of depression I laugh. I don't know why."
Inucenaru didn't know what to say to this sa she remained silent.
"We better go." Kagome said after a minute.
Inucenaru nodded. They swam up to the second exit to the grotto.
After a while they found themselves at the surface. Kagome looked around.
"What now?" She asked
"I guess we could look for clues or something." Inucenaru suggested.
"Okay."
They began their search by following the shore looking for anything that might point to Kaharu's group passing through.
"Over there!" Kagome said pointing to the shore
"What?" Inucenaru asked looking at where she was pointing.
"Footprints!" Kagome said
"They went into the forest."
"We are following them, right?" Kagome asked
"Yeah." Inucenaru said "You still have the powder Sango gave you right?"
"Of course." Kagome said taking the blue pouch and sprinkling some over her fin.
Kagome felt familiar feeling running through her body. She closed her eyes and when she opened them her fin was gone and instead there were her legs. The top she had been wearing was also gone and it had been replaced by a long green linen dress.
"Ahhh!" Kagome screamed flailing her arms around in the water.
Inucenaru realized what was wrong and quickly swam over to her and grabbed her. Kagome clung onto her panting was squeezing her eyes shut to scared to open them.
"Why didn't you tell me you couldn't swim?" Inucenaru said dragging her towards shore.
"I thought you knew! Since I am a fairy I thought it was obvious." Kagome said still not daring to open her eyes.
"You're so stupid." Inucenaru said, "You know you couldn't swim. Why did you transform right there."
"I spent a week as a mermaid. You can't expect to remember that after I spent so much time swimming!"
"I can expect you." Inucenaru said
Kagome sighed in relief when he felt the sand beneath her feet.
"Here!" Kagome said holding out the pouch. Inucenaru held out her hand and Kagome poured some powder into it. While her friend took care of her legs Kagome headed to the shore. Once she got there she stretched her wings and then flapped them around a little.
"My legs feel so wierd." Inucenaru said walking onto the shore wearing the same type of dress as Kagome except in red.
"I know. My wings feel all stiff." Kagome said. She moved them some more and then she flew up in to the sky.
"You having fun?" Inucenaru asked her
"Yup!" Kagome said turning around in mid air but still traveling in the same direction so that now she was flying backwards.
"Watch out!" Inucenaru yelled to suddenly.
Kagome turned around saw got only a glimpse of the tree. Inucenaru ran over to where her friend had landed at the base of the evil tree.
"Are you alright?" Inucenaru asked here
"Look at the pretty lights." Kagome said with a dazed look
Inucenaru rolled her eyes, "Come one." She said grabbing her by arm and pulling her to her feet.
