Kagome is happily running around in the garden of the huge Western fortress, enjoying the warmth of the sun on her face, neck, and arms completely oblivious to the world around her.
She came upon the large tarn in the middle of the garden and squealed with delight. She took off her shoes and raised her long gown to her knee. She walked slowly in the water, taking pleasure in the coolness of the pool on her feet.
“Kagome-chan?” Sango called not far from where she is. “Kago—there you are!” She said with a hint of exasperation in her voice. “I’ve been looking for you all over the palace!”
Kagome looked at her, smiling brightly. “Sango-chan!” She greeted her best friend excitedly.
“Lord Sesshomaru asked me—no, demanded me to find you at once.” Sango said, crossing her arms in irritation.
Kagome giggled and ran out of the water. “Let us go then, we do not want the ice prince mad, would we?” She said playfully.
“Hmmp...You are testing his patience, little girl!” Sango reprimanded lightly.
“I am no longer a little girl!” Kagome protested.
“Yeah, right.” Sango said, huffing. “But, you would not be able to make it to the party by this rate.”
Kagome’s eyes suddenly glinted mischievously. “I run faster than you do, right?”
Sango scoffed and Kagome sprinkled water towards her and took off towards the palace, her shoes unrecked near the tarn.
“Kagome!!!” Sango complained, but a hint of a smile could be seen on her face.
Kagome giggled while running. Sango shook her head at her.
Then, a memory clouded her head causing her to turn nostalgic and melancholy. “Happy fifteenth birthday, Kagome-chan…” Sango whispered while watching the lively young lady run away.
