"Sango! You're home! How was your first day?"
"It wasn't so bad…All I did was cook, wash dishes and make beds."
"Ah! Good! If you do an excellent job, Inutashio-sama might give you a good tip eh?"
"Let's not push our luck mother."
"Haha. You are right dear. Come now, I've prepared dinner. We'll eat and relax after a long day."
"Thanks mother."
Inuyasha laid awake thinking. How could he have fallen for her so quickly? And in just one day! He must have been losing it. Perhaps it was just hormones. Maybe he wasn't feeling well. Inuyasha rolled on his side, just thinking about how lovely his new maid looked.
'God she's so beautiful…I've never seen any girl like her…somehow I felt a…connection…God I'm so confused. I barely know her yet I'd probably be willing to marry her! Ugh…maybe…I need sleep….yea some sleep….in the morning I'll feel better…I'm just a little stressed out is all. Can't think straight…I need a vacation…'
Inuyasha drifted into a semi-frustrating sleep…
The Next Morning
Inuyasha stirred in his sleep. He opened his eyes. His vision was a little blurry. He saw a figure picking up a basket full of clothes. It was Sango. She was staring at something in her hand.
"Did someone lose a ring?" Sango asked.
"Yea, Sesshomaru was looking for it yesterday. The bastard's always losing things in my room…" Inuyasha said. Sango giggled a little and smiled.
"I'll give it to him, I'm about to get his laundry out his room anyway." Sango turned around to walk out the door when Inuyasha spoke again.
"Hey..Sango…"
Sango turned around and raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"Nothing. Forget it."
Sango looked confused and then smiled a little. "Alright. Call me if you need anything." Sango left out the room and headed to Sesshomaru's room. Inuyasha could hear Sesshomaru yelling.
"HA! I KNEW THAT LITTLE TWERP HAD IT!"
Inuyasha rolled on his side and stared at the wall in front of him. He had no idea what he was going to do. He was losing his mind over some girl he didn't know. He just met her yesterday yet she took his breath away….
"INUYASHA! SESSHOMARU! GET OUT HERE!"
The cry of his father made him jump up out of bed. "COMING FATHER!" he yelled back as he quickly got his regular clothes on. He darted out the door and headed to his father's study. Sesshomaru came in behind him panting.
"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked.
"I just got a letter from the mayor of the town. As you know, the annual spring festival is tomorrow. The mayor plans to have a giant feast for everyone and he wants us to show up as the VIP guests I should say. He says that if people know we are coming, we will have more people. The more people we have, the more outside guests we have. If people see how fun the town is, people will move in. This will help the mayor turn this town into an empire. If all goes well he is appointing me, head Senator of the empire. Now, I want you boys are also going to come along as well. Maybe we can even find some females for you two to marry."
"That idea sounds totally stupid. The mayor has been trying to get an empire for years and he's gotten nowhere. What makes him thinks this will actually work? Besides, I'm not interested in marrying some low rank female. There's no female in this town that's even worthy of me looking at." Sesshomaru arrogantly said.
"Here we go with your ignorance again Sesshomaru. You're not all that high and mighty. Why won't you get off your pedestal and try looking for a woman who is actually fun to be around instead of one who comes from some fancy house!" Inuyasha scowled.
"I dare not disgrace our family by marrying a peasant!"
"Who the hell cares what she is? It's who she is that matters."
"Silence! Both of you!" Inutashio shouted. "Inuyasha does have a very good point, but it would ruin the family name to marry a woman who is very low classed."
"I wouldn't care about the family name. If I love a woman I'm going to marry her regardless of what other people will think or say."
"Oh Inuyasha you are quite the romantic aren't you. Degrading the family name over some peasant. Father you must be proud aren't you?"
"You two knock it off. I expect to see you both at the festival. If you do not show up, there will be consequences. Understood?"
"Yes father." Inuyasha and Sesshomaru said at the same time.
Later that day at Sango's house
Sango was sitting at the dinner table, on her knees, drinking a tea she had just brewed. Her mother walked in and poured herself a cup of tea as well. Their house was small and quiet. There were not many things in the house except some old antiques. But Sango liked it that way. It seemed cozier to her. Sango noticed her mother holding up some type of paper.
"Mother, what is that?"
"Nothing dear, just something about the festival tomorrow. I bet it's another plot to turn this town into another empire. The mayor should really just give up on it all. It's not going to happen."
"Haha, I know. Just a crazy fantasy."
"Sango are you going to the festival?"
"Why should I?"
"Well I don't know, you'll probably have a good time. Might even meet a special guy there."
"Mother, you know I'm not interested in getting married right not."
"Well you don't have to marry right this instance…But you know it would be nice to have a grandchild."
"Oh dear, here we go about the grandchildren."
"Oh you know it's every mother's dream to have grandchildren."
"It certainly won't be mine when I have kids, if I even have kids."
"Hm..I don't know. You might just change that."
"I doubt it. I've been saying it since I was a kid. I mean it."
"Yea right now you do. Just wait 'til you get older. In the meantime, we both are going to the festival. We're going to have a girl's night out. What do you say?"
"That sounds nice mother. Can't wait." Sango giggled a little at the thought of having a girl's night out with her mother. It seemed a little strange to her.
"Alright missy off to bed."
"Why? I don't work tomorrow."
"I don't care when you work, I said bed missy. Go on before I lecture you about children."
"Oh no. I'm off! Good night mother." Sango sprinted up and headed to her room. "Lots of love mom."
"Haha, Goodnight Sango."
