Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha
"Good morning, Sweetheart. I hope you are ready to meet the first prince. Today's the day you meet Prince Inuyasha." Her farther announced with a proud smile.
"Yeah daddy, about him, if I don't like him may Kagome have him. She seems to have fallen in love with him just by knowing his name."
"Of course, but only if you don't like him. I wouldn't want the poor boy to go home empty handed. "The king laughed.
The two of them walked off from the throne room to breakfast.
"Kags, I got good news. Daddy said that if I didn't like Inuyasha, you are free to have him." Sango smiled as she sat down at the table she began to eat the peeled orange in front of her.
Kagome dropped her chopsticks she was using to eat her rice with. "You're joking! Seriously? I'm so happy!" Kagome squealed.
"Must you act like a three year old so early in the morning?" A young male voice asked tiredly.
"Good morning to you too, Kohaku." Kagome said sticking her tongue out at him.
"Hey Kohaku, I haven't seen you around for a while. Where you been?" Sango asked.
"I was away training and I came across a… problem."
Sango wanted to question her brother's hesitation, but nevertheless left it alone. Kohaku sat down and started to eat his breakfast.
"Oh, sister, I forgot to tell you that you have another j-"Kohaku was interrupted by Sango.
"Kohaku, may I please speak to you in the hall?" Sango said glaring at him.
Kohaku took the memo and realized he almost revealed Sango's secret. Sango had another life few knew about outside the palace. Only Kohaku, Kagome, and a few guards knew she took on demon-slaying jobs from all around. Yes, her father knew she trained in demon-fighting, but he didn't know about the jobs. Her father only trained her in demon-slaying for protection, but Sango wanted more. She has exterminated more than a few hundred villages of their demons in the course of only a couple years. She loved her work; the only problem was her father would never approve of his heir to go about killing wandering demons for pay. Nowadays it was getting difficult getting past all the guards who didn't know her secret and her dad.
Sango took Kohaku's arm and led him down the hall. "What did I tell you about shutting your trap about demon-slaying in front of Father?"
"I'm sorry but the details are important. A village is being attacked right now. The village is near a palace and they fear they will be next. You have to go now!" Kohaku yelled at his older sister.
Sango sprang into action. She gathered her uniform and equipment, and fled from the palace. She knew that it was ironic that a palace is near the village because there were only a few castles in Japan. She didn't realize that trouble was awaiting her in a red kimono and death-white hair.
