You see what I do? I bring in all these awesome characters from my mind and cause them to torture you all! Now, onward with Yuki and what he has in store for Sango!

'I wonder what Sango's doing right now...' thought Miroku. He was currently in the 'business room' with his father, along with another lord from a neighboring state. Unfortunately for Miroku, his father wanted him to see what it was like to be the lord and how you would compromise with other lords.

BORING

Worst part about being the lord's son, right here. There was nothing Miroku hated more than having to do all of this lord crap. All he wanted was to live a happy life, have a family and die old. Was that too much to ask?

Outside of his thoughts, he could just barely hear his father's muffled voice. He was literally blocking them out, lost in his own mind.

'I wonder if I can sneak out later and go see Sango...' he thought.

The mumbled sound of his father and the other lord talking was starting to get annoying. Maybe he could beat them over the head with something in the room...

"Miroku..."

Really though, maybe like the table or something...

"Miroku..."

Maybe he could just choke them. That would be pretty fast...

"MIROKU!" screamed his father. Miroku looked over at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm?" he asked tiredly. His father sighed and rested his head on his hand.

"I'm sorry about my son's horrible behavior Lord Nakano." He said. Lord Nakano merely waved his hand, saying that he didn't mind.

"Oh calm down Kazuya, you know what it's like to be his age. He's probably thinking about how boring this is, maybe even a cute young princess he's found, hm?" he said, winking at Miroku.

Miroku laughed and answered, "Yes, but I seem to be the only one who thinks so."

They both started laughing, though Miroku's father was not amused.

A little later, Lord Nakano left, heading back to his own state. As you can probably guess, it was lecture time for Miroku.

"You wanted to see me father?" he asked, entering the room from the hall. He had planed on going down to see Sango, but apparently, his father wanted to see him.

"Miroku, your horrible behavior has to cease." He began, "When I am gone, I need to know that you are going to be able to hand all of the responsibilities that I have in a dignified manor."

Miroku sighed. This could go on for a while...

"I'm starting to get the feeling that I can't trust you to do any job without screwing it up somehow. You need to pay attention more often. After all, this is your future, being the Lord and making all the decisions. I'm not sure if you can handle it."

Miroku rolled his eyes. He heard this crap everyday from this man, and it never got anymore interesting. He yawned a bit, which really pissed the Lord off. He was about to start screaming at his son for his disrespectful way of approaching things, when one of the guards entered the room.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you my lord, but the new employee arrived last night, and he's here to meet you."

Lord Kazuya cleared his throat, returning to normal volume and said, "Fine then, bring him in. Miroku, you and I will talk later." Miroku bowed to his father and exited the room. He passed the guard, and he person behind him

'That must be the new guy.' He thought

The man had short black hair and jade eyes, with a nice body and good looking face. As Miroku passed, the man looked up at him and gave him a smirk. Miroku raised an eyebrow, not really knowing how to interoperate the look on his face. Shaking it off, he walked by, leaving them to their business. After all, now he had time to do what he'd wanted to all day.

See Sango of course.

Downstairs, Sango was with Kagome, working on dusting the left half of the rooms on the first floor. She was working on a suit of armor as Kagome cleaned up the contents of the shelves. There always seemed to be something that needed cleaning in this place, even when no one was using it.

Sango wiped a bit of sweat from her forehead. She had been working all day and it was almost time for their break. She looked back at her best friend as she moved a large sword over to the shelves.

"Hey Kagome, what do you think we're going to have for lunch today?"

Kagome shrugged, but replied

"Hey, as long as I don't cook it, I don't care!"

Sango laughed at her friend's joke as she began to wipe the dust off of the helmet of the suit. She was looking forward to taking a break. Although, with that new guy hanging around, it might not be as enjoyable as she's thought.

Poor Sango's mind had been plagued with thoughts of Yuki all day. She got a strange feeling whenever she saw his face, as though there was just something not right about him.

She was about to ask Kagome about what she thought, when a guard entered the room.

"Excuse me, you're Sango right?" he asked. Sango looked over at him and nodded.

"Come with me please." He said. He turned and headed out of the room, and Sango started to follow.

"Sorry Kagome!" she yelled to her friend as she left.

Sango followed the guard all the way up to the top floor. He took her down a few halls, then came to the front of a room.

"Have I done something wrong?" she asked.

"I don't know, but the young lord requested your presence."

Sango let out a relieved sigh. It was just Miroku wanting to see her. The guard opened the door and she entered the room. Miroku was standing at the far end, looking out a window. As the door closed behind her, he looked her way.

"Nice to see you again." He said. She giggled and bowed.

"Yes my lord, I haven't seen you in a while."

Miroku laughed at the little banter they were having. The fact that Sango played with him like this was one of the things he loved about her. Koharu would never do that. She just wanted to be a princess on her pedestal.

"So, what's going on?" she asked, taking a seat by the table on the floor. He sat next to her and played with her hair.

"Not much. My father is getting angry at me again since I'm not paying attention to him when he's trying to teach me how to be a good Lord."

"Miroku, you really should pay attention to that stuff. I mean, it is your future after all."

Miroku shook his head.

"I don't want it to be my future. I want what the people in the village have. I want to be able to do what I want with my life."

"Hey, it can't be that bad." She said. Miroku looked up and cupped her cheek in his hand.

"Yeah, it can't be that bad if you're here."

Sango smiled at his comment and leaned into him so that he could wrap his arm around her.

"Well, what about you?" he asked, "Anything new?"

Sango froze a little. The first thing that came to mind was the new guy. She started blushing and looked away from Miroku.

"Hm? What's wrong? Is someone causing you trouble?"

She shook her head no. Should she tell him? I mean, she had been drooling over the guy too, but there was no way she could keep a secret from him. After all, they promised to be honest with each other.

"It's nothing really. It's just a new guy that seemed to come out of nowhere this morning."

A small click went off in Miroku's head. Could the guy Sango was talking about be the one he saw earlier today?

"What was he like?"

"He had short black hair and really beautiful eyes, but there was just something about him that I didn't like. However, he certainly didn't think that about me."

"What do you mean?" Miroku asked worriedly. Was this guy trying to hurt her?

"The first thing he did when he saw me was try to hit on me. I told him that I was already seeing someone, but I'm not sure if he's given up yet."

Miroku was quiet for a minute.

"What's his name?"

Sango looked up at him with a worried expression.

"Yuki. Why?"

He shook his head. "It's nothing. I just need to know his name."

Sango decided to let it pass. There wasn't much she could do about it right now anyway. It's not like anything too bad was going to happen right?

Right?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome took a long drink of the tea that Mama had given her.

"So, where's Sango?" asked Mama. Kagome put her cup down and picked up a bowl of rice.

"One of the guards came to take her upstairs not too long ago. She's probably with Miroku."

Kagome began to scarf the rice down her throat. Whether Sango was there or not, her stomach didn't care. Mama tried to stop Kagome from eating so fast, but she had no effect on the younger girl.

"Kagome dear, you're going to get sick!" she said.

Kagome paid her no mind and continued to shovel down the little white grains of rice from her bowl. Mama sighed and took a sip of tea.

The calm of the room was suddenly interrupted by a few high pitched screams of some young girls in the room. All attention turned to the door when Yuki was walking in.

"What the hell is wrong with those girls?" asked Kagome, "He may have a nice face, but that seems to be the only nice thing about him."

Mama giggled at the small joke Kagome made.

Somehow, Yuki heard what Kagome had said, and how Mama had giggled at the statement. After all, it was hard to hear anything over those annoying girls who were screaming and fondling over him.

He pushed his way through them and walked over to the two of them.

"Now what would make you say something like that?" he asked Kagome. She turned her head away from him and said

"Well, how about the fact that you started hitting on my friend the minute you walked through the door?"

Yuki thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers.

"I remember you now! You're the one who with that girl yesterday!"

"Hey! That girl has a name, Sango!"

Yuki laughed.

"Well, I'm sorry. Had I known she had such a beautiful name, I would have certainly used it."

Kagome gave a loud 'ha!'

"You don't have a chance with her you jerk! She's already got someone and there's no way in hell that she'll leave him for you!"

Yuki raised an eyebrow at her and sat down by her side. He put his hand on hers and stroked it a bit.

"Well then what about you? You're just as beautiful as her, did you know that?"

Kagome swiped her hand out from under his and turned her body slightly away from him. Who the hell did this guy think he was?

"What is wrong with you? I know you'd just use me to get closer to Sango! And besides, I'm already seeing someone!"

All of the girls who had been crowding around Yuki before were filled with both anger and relief when Kagome said this. I mean, sure, that made him still available, but who the hell did she think she was, turning Yuki down?

"Really? Well, what's his name?"

Kagome began to blush.

"T-that's none of your business!"

Yuki got a little closer to her and whispered in her ear

"I won't tell him about us if you don't."

Kagome pushed him away very roughly. She didn't have to sit here and deal with him. She stood up and glared at him.

"You couldn't pay me to be in love with you."

Kagome then turned her back and walked out of the dining room, heading back to her work, Mama following her to try and keep her calm.

Yuki was left there on the floor, thinking to himself.

'Damnit, this mission is going to be harder than I thought...I guess I'll have to think of another way to get Sango removed other than an affair with me...'

The other girls came and gathered around him, talking to him from all different directions.

"Don't pay Kagome any mind. She's just a little bitch. You should just drop her and her sluty friend and pick one of us."

Yuki sighed. This was going to be a long day...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kagome was still storming around the castle and was about to enter the next room to clean, when Mama grabbed her arm.

"Kagome, are you ok?"

Kagome nodded. She didn't feel like talking right now. She hadn't talked about HIM for a while.

Mama turned her around and gave her a hug.

"Kagome sweetie, it's ok. You'll be out of here soon, long before it happens."

Kagome's eyes were beginning to water. She didn't want to think about what was going to happen.

"He won't let anything happen to you... after all..."

Kagome looked up at Mama, who was the only person who knew...

"He wouldn't leave behind the mother of his child."

I swear that the last part of the chapter just came to me as I was writing. So now what the hell am I going to do? Oh well, I'll think of something... Review plz!
