Like A Fairytale – Part Two: Lace

"It's not tight enough!" Kikyou yelled. Kikyou and Kagome had gotten news that they would be heading out to the country side to get aquatinted with two marriage possibilities from the West and South. The King and Queen gave no names as to who they would be meeting, only the areas they were from. Kikyou was particularly 'perky' that morning because of it. Sango found out from Kagome that Kikyou had her hands all over most of the men at the ball, she was almost certain that everyone was going for her... Poor naive soul.

"Tighter!"

"Any tighter and you won't be able to breath!" Sango yelled back, pulling the corset tighter as directed.

"I don't care just do it!"

Sango took a deep breath and let go of the strings.

"Sango what do you think your doing?! Get back here! I order-"

"Stop right there Kikyou... Not another word." Sango warned, pulling a chair up. "You want it tighter? Then take a deep breath and shut up." Sango said, standing on top of the chair. Putting a foot on Kikyou's back, Sango picked up the strings again. Suddenly, at the same time, Sango pushed Kikyou forward with her foot and pulled back with the strings. "If you can't breath anymore it's not my fault!"

"Eeck" Kikyou made a quiet, distressed sound as Sango pulled the corset tighter and tighter. You couldn't make much of a noise either if your air supply was being cut off.

"Sango....? Sango! Sango, there you are!" Kagome proclaimed, ignoring the blue, wheezing Kikyou. "Come on, I need help with my dress."

"Okay!" Sango agreed, abandoning Kikyou and following her friend out the door.

Kikyou stood still, taking sharp shallow breaths.

"Too tight."

"So, do you think it will be him?" Sango asked whilst brushing Kagome's hair.

"I don't know... I hope it is though!" Kagome squealed.

"You mean you don't mind your parents choosing who you should marry?" Sango asked.

"No.... Should I?"

"I guess not... It's just that, you'll be spending the rest of your life with this person. Don't you want it to be special? I never thought love was really like that."

Kagome was quiet for a while. "Sango, have you ever been in love?"

"Who me? Of course not Kag, love is for-"

"Fairy tales, I know, I've heard it before. But why not Sango? What's so wrong with wanting to live in a fairy tale?"

"I don't know... I just don't think it's possible" Sango shrugged and started to gather up Kagome's things. "Anyway, I wish you luck"

"What are you talking about? You're coming as well."

"Don't joke around like that Kag." Sango said, still gathering up the clothes.

"Sango, I'm not." Kagome said desperately, grabbing her friends arm. "I asked Mama and she said it was ok! She said it was about time you visited, and that it would be good for you. You're coming with us, not as a servant either. Its all been worked out."

"But, Kagome... I have nothing to wear or bring!"

"Oh don't worry about that" Kagome breezed, "You're around my size and you can take some of my things. Even that green dress you like so much."

"Kagome-........hmm...." Sango did fancy that dress... It was just so pretty! It was a dark green with shoulder straps. The train followed about one foot behind and it was just so... So... Her. "Okay Kagome, you've got yourself a deal."

"Great!" Kagome excitedly yelled, jumping up from the chair, "Now sit."

"Kago-"

"Oh hush! I will be your personal assistant today. All you need do is pick an outfit, we leave after lunch."

"Who's coming?!" Kikyou shrieked. No one else saw why it was such a big deal that Sango was coming with them to meet the prince's, it really wasn't. But Kikyou apparently did not think that. She was convinced that her parents had gone mad. A servant? Going to meet a prince?! Never thought she'd see the day.

"Oh calm down Kikyou." Rin sighed. "It's really no big deal that she's coming with us."

"You're coming too?!"

"Of course, Uncle invited me. Someone had got to keep you girls out of trouble. I'm the responsible adult."

"Rin, your only eighteen." Kagome sighed when she walked up, Sango following behind in one of her dresses.

"So? I'm older then all of you, by atleast two years. My my Sango! You look stunning! The role of a princess really suits you."

"It's just a role, remember that Sango. You're still nothing but a servant." Kikyou hissed as the carriage pulled up.

"What is your deal anyway Kikyou? You didn't mind playing the servant when we were smaller. I was always the princess wasn't I?" Sango taunted. Kikyou turned a shade of red and turned around with a dignified 'humph'.

"Are you ladies ready?" A tall man said, hoping off of the carriage. "My name is Miroku." Oh.... My oh my..... He had the most gorgeous violet eyes, and black hair, which was pulled into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. He had a mischievous grin and a light in his eyes Sango hadn't seen before. She instantly felt drawn to him... Not that she'd let anyone else know that of course.

"Well, hello Miroku." Kikyou said, instantly changing her mood and walking up to him. "Kikyou."

"Heh... Good day your highness..." Miroku said, making a small bow and backing away from her. "And the rest of you."

"I'm Rin, that's Kagome, and this here is Sango" Rin introduced, pushing her foreword.

"Hey!"

"Well, dear lady Sango... It's a pleasure" Miroku said, taking her hand and kisses it while in a deep bow. Sango flushed and heard Kagome and Rin whisper and giggle. She could almost feel the rage emitting from Kikyou. After all, Miroku had practically ignored her.

'Maybe this won't be so bad...' Sango thought to herself.

*pat pat*

*twitch*

'Then again, maybe it will be'.... "You pervert!" Sango yelled, smacking Miroku. Miroku fell to the floor, hand twitching a bit, staring up at a fuming Sango.

"Hmm...lace" Miroku commented, looking up her skirt.

"GAH!" Sango blushed even more and kicked the pervert. She turned around, red in the face and climbed into the carriage.

"Whoever knew Sango was so violent...?" Rin commented, looking from Miroku to Sango and back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm putting my ranting's and stuff at the bottom.. Yeah... Moo! I know Sango's eyes aren't green... But when I was writing it, I forgot what color they were so I just made them that way. Dramatic license ppl. Look Moon Prynces! There's Miroku! XD bwuah. *dreamy sigh* oh the possibilities of what I could do with them..... Ahhhhhhhh *-* What to do......

Edit: Yes yes, I rewrote some, not a lot though. None of it really seems important here, but some of my changes will make sense in the future.... The far far future... Yeah. Sorry about the time it's taking v.v;
