Why Are You At War With You

Chapter 3: We Will Meet Again

All the children in the clearing stood stunned as the twins searched the body for what they could. That was when the twins looked up and noticed the other children and Prince Sesshomaru.

They glanced at each other before turning back to Sesshomaru and bowing low at the waist.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my father's lands?" Sesshomaru asked in his trademark monotone voice.

"I am Sasuke and this is my sister, Kagome, mi'lord" Sasuke answered while motioning towards the girl.

"Why did you answer for her? Can she not speak?"Sesshomaru asked.

"My sister has been mute for as long as we can remember" Sasuke answered as Kagome glanced at the moon before tugging at Sasuke's sleeve pointing in the direction of the moon.

Sasuke looked at Kagome then followed her finger to the moon. His eyes widened as he hastily said,

"I am sorry mi'lord but I must cut this short." they both bowed before turning to run into the forest.

"Wait!" started Sesshomaru, dropping his icy exterior, "Will I see you again?" He asked directing the question to Kagome. She smiled at him as their eyes locked.

"In time we will meet again." He heard in his head. The voice was beautifully feminine though it sounded childish he thought it was beautiful.

Everyone in the clearing stood speechless as the two children disappeared into the darkness of the forest.
