Crimson Karou
We would like to thank our readers for supporting our story and inspiring us to write more. We would also like to apologize for Kagome's age mistake. Kagome is 8 not 6 ½. Also thank you for giving us the right spelling of Sesshomaru's Father's name. We will be starting a new story called "Hired to Love."
At first, things were going well. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha made it to the demon slayer's fortress. Sango and Kagome met their future husbands face to face. It seemed as if everything was going to be perfect until an alarm went off from the watchtower. Naraku's demons had penetrated through their defense. Mitsurugi calls Sango and Kagome into action. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha cannot fathom the humans bringing two women in a men's battle. They will now get to see their future wives in action as both of them are in a circle surrounded by hundreds of demons. Sango and Kagome stood in an open clearing as they watched the demons fly towards them. Sango's heart began to beat faster with both fear and excitement as the demons come closer foot by foot. Sango looked over to see a nervous Kagome. "Kagome, are you ready?" she asked as she sensed her nervousness. Kagome slowly nodded despite the fear that was welling up in her. "Kagome, it's just like the training grounds remember," Sango reassured her. "Listen to me Kagome. I want you to shoot a purity arrow towards in the center of the demon pack. Can you do that?"
"Sure I can!" said Kagome as her cousin Sango boosted up her self-confidence. "Just how powerful do you want it?" Kagome asked.
"Just enough to kill about half," instructed Sango.
"Why only half?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Because I want some fun too," Sango smiled. Sango looked at her feline companion, Kiara, and said, "Are you ready?" The neko cat purred in response and then transformed to its full demon self. "When I get to a certain distance in the air I will signal you to fir the arrow, alright," Sango instructed to Kagome.
"I gotcha," she replied to the ascending Sango.
"Father, are they going to try to kill all of those demons by themselves?" asked Inuyasha.
"I suppose so Inuyasha," the Demon Lord replied.
"They're just girls, and on top of that humans!" Inuyasha exclaimed not understanding the perceived foolish ways of the humans. "They could get killed!"
"I didn't know you cared so much Inuyasha. How about you go out and protect your bride," Inutaisho teased.
"I don't care about her father. I care about the fact that this is a man's war. Women should not be apart of it," Inuyasha replied although he is half-human.
"That is very true my son. However, whether they want to or not they will be dragged into it," the Demon Lord thoroughly explained to his half-demon son. Inutaisho sighed with grieve in remembrance of his first wife. Sesshomaru listened as his father and his brother talked about Sango and Kagome.
Sango waited patiently as the demons approached her in the air. Sango slowly raised her hand and waited for the right opportunity to strike. Suddenly, an arrow wisps past her and a purple light illuminates the sky. Soon the sky began to rain with demon blood and limbs. Sango looked at Kagome with a furious glare which was replaced with worry as she watched Kagome fall to the ground. Her and Kirara over to the blood covered Kagome. "Kagome!" Sango yelled as she raced and dodged falling demon limbs. "Kagome, are you okay?" she screamed as the worry of her younger cousin took over her emotions. Kagome moans as she had used up nearly all her energy. "Kirara, get Kagome out of here," Sango ordered. Kirara nodded in response and took Kagome back to the fort. Sango stood and turn towards the oncoming demons.
"Sango, I'm coming to help!" Mitsurugi screamed.
"No, father, I can do this by myself!" Sango yelled back in response as she began to slaughter demons one by one. Mitsurugi stood back in astonishment as he watched his daughter scatter the clearing with demon bodies. Soon the other demon slayers began to charge.
"Stop!" Mitsurugi ordered the other demon slayers.
"Why my lord?" one of the demon slayers asked.
"Sango wishes to fight alone and we should respect her wishes," Mitsurugi explained. Mitsurugi is slowly approached by Lord Inutaisho who placed his hand on Mitsurugi's shoulder.
"Don't worry my friend, your daughter is strong," Inutaisho said to comfort Mitsurugi. "She will make it through."
'I hope you're right,' he thought.
Sango stepped off the battlefield covered with demon blood and body parts. All the demon warriors and slayers watched in awe as Sango approached them. Suddenly, a great cry filled the air as the warriors ran to congratulate Sango on her victorious battle.
'This will be an interesting marriage,' Sesshomaru thought.
The troops came into the demon slayer's fortress as Sango rode on their shoulders taking in the glory of a new victory. Suddenly, the female servants scooped Sango off their shoulders and carried her off to the bathing quarters to be washed and dressed in her celebration kimono. As Sango and Kagome got ready for the celebration, the village waited for the new brides. The village warriors waited for the head families to come and sit in there at the table. (Suddenly the drums began to pound with the announcement that the Royal families was preparing to come. At the sound of the drums the crowd separated like the Red Sea and bowed).
Sango was rushed to the bathing quarters once again to be prepared for the celebration. Kagome had already been fully dressed after the Kirara brought her back to head quarters after she fainted. She was wearing a silk kimono with a brilliant blue with green grasses all around the hem and bright yellow flowers across the sleeves and chest. Chiyo and the other servants dressed her into a cream kimono with a water design at the hem with her hair wrapped around in a wire shaped like a butterfly with the rest of her hair down. "Sango… Kagome they are about to begin the celebration," said Mitsurugi. So I suggest you two hurry towards the main gate." Sango and Kagome rushed towards the gate to get lined up for the celebration. The humans were lined up on the right side of the main gate, and the demons were lined up to the left side of the main gate. Mitsurugi was lined up first with Inutaisho lined up directly to his left. Izayoi, Inutaisho's wife and Inuyasha's mother, came next as she came in behind Mitsurugi with Mamesha, Mitsurugi's wife directly across from her left. Kohaku, Sango's younger brother, came in with behind his mother. He's only five years old. Two sets of five people came out on both the left and right side of the main gate with the dragon costume dressed on top of them. The red, black, and white dragon represented the demon tribe. The blue, white, gold demon represented the demon slayer tribe. Lastly, it is time for the married couples to come out. Both Sesshomaru and Sango both came out from their respective sides. Sesshomaru growled in discontent as he had to hold Sango's hand. Sango looked at Sesshomaru and blushed nervously as she is still in shock that she is marrying a demon. Inuyasha and Kagome came out behind Sesshomaru and Sango and were not as angry or nervous about there arranged marriage. Inuyasha being a half-blooded demon was probably why he was attracted to Kagome. Kagome was attracted to the bad boy image that the half-demon possessed. Now that everyone was in their respective position, Mitsurugi stepped forward and exclaimed, "Let the Celebration begin!"
Sorry about the wait. We have been working hard to make this story a success. We also have a new story in the works titled "Hired to Love". I hope love the chapter!
