The Princess of the Southern Lands
Chapter 4:� Departure of Two Kinds
Rose awoke to find her father still by her mother�s
side.� She had dressed and was going to
head to the dining hall to eat breakfast with the Prince, Sesshomaru.� She walked to her mother�s bedside and
touched Sakura�s shoulder.
�Rose sweetheart, good morning,� her mother managed weakly.
Rose smiled sadly at her mother.� Rose
knew that Sakura would not be with her for much longer.� She had already spoken to her brother about
what was happening.� She saddened knowing
that when her mother died so too would her father.
Lord Shin, the Dog Demon who was once seen as Great as Lord
Inu no Taishio, had used the mating ceremony that would ensure that he and his
mate would be together never separated in both life and death.� When Sakura died he would follow her, leaving
Rose to fend for herself in a world where she was not welcomed.
Rose looked at her parents and her heart sank.� She wanted the kind of love that they had,
but she was saddened by the way things had turned out for them.� Now she was going to lose them both so
soon.� She wanted to cry but instead
chose to smile at them and hold her head high. �I�ll go eat breakfast,
Father.� Would you like me to bring you
something back?� I�m going to bring
something back for mother.�� Lord Inu no
Taishio had allowed Shin and Sakura to once again eat in their room since
Sakura was no longer able to move from the bed.
�No Rose.� Go and eat
daughter.�� Shin answered.� Rose inclined her head and then left the
room.
Talon walked in and nodded to his father who nodded
back.� He went to his step-mother and
took her hand.� �Lady Sakura, soon your
pain will end.� Do not worry over
Rose.� I will make sure that she is well
taken care of.� I am going now to speak
with Lord Inu no Taishio.� I believe he
will agree to let her stay until I can win back our lands.� Do not worry for I will win them back.�� The last was said to his father to reassure
him that everything would be alright.�
Shin looked at his son and smiled for the first time in weeks.�
�Never think that I am not happy to call you my son,
Talon.� I couldn�t be prouder of you or
of Rose.� I just wish that Sakura and I
had more time.� I�m sorry that I never
told you.�� Shin said as he stood and
hugged his son tightly.� �I know you will
always do me proud in whatever you do.��
He whispered.
�Thank you father, I will go now and speak with Lord Inu no
Taishio, then after I will leave for the Southern Lands to gather our
allies.� I love you father.� May your days be happy.�� Talon said sadly and then left the room,
knowing full well that, that would be the last time he would ever see his
father alive again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dining Hall *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rose walked back from the dining hall.� She carried a large plate of food and was
concentrating on not spilling it.� She
had just finished eating with the Prince and had noticed his expressionless
looks at her hair.� She wondered why he
looked so curiously at her hair.� There
wasn�t anything special about it, it was red.�
She kept it in a bun constantly.�
She didn�t want to cut it because her mother and father liked her long
hair, but it got into her eyes.� So as a
way to please both them and her she kept it up and out of her face while
letting it grow longer and longer.
Rose returned to the room to find that Talon was no longer
there.� He had come to the dining hall
while she was eating and told her that he would be leaving.� She had looked at him sadly and nodded.� He then said goodbye and left.� Rose was disappointed that he had not
mentioned what she should do.� Rose
thought that Talon had known Sakura was dying.�
Did he not want her around because she was a hanyou?� Rose shook her head.� She wasn�t sure what she was going to do once
her mother and father passed on.�
Rose looked up at her parents.� Her father seemed sadder.� He had yet to notice that she was there.� She could hear him speaking so softly and
lovingly to her mother.
�Sakura, do you remember where we met.� Shin said to her
mother.� Sakura nodded, too tired to
speak.
�I wish we could go back there.�� Shin whispered.� He kissed Sakura tenderly and pressed his
forehead against hers.
�Why don�t you take her there Father?� I know you and mother don�t have much time
left, so it�s okay if you take her there.��
Rose said as she set the food down on a nearby table.
�Rose?� You wouldn�t
mind?�� Shin asked his daughter.
�No, of course not, I�ll be fine so there�s no need to
worry.�� Rose said smiling sadly. �You
and mommy should be allowed to do as you wish.�
So go ahead.�
�Thank you my beautiful Rose.�� Shin walked over and kissed his daughter on
her head.� Rose ran over to Sakura and hugged
her mother, kissing her on the cheek.�
Shin then picked up his wife and took her to the balcony where Rose
followed after them.
�We love you Rose.�
Thank you.� I know you will be
okay.�� Shin said as he leapt into the
air and sped to the place where he and Sakura had first met.� Rose watched them until she couldn�t see them
anymore.� She then walked slowly back
into the rooms Lord Inu no Taishio had given her and her family.� She started packing her things to leave.
�Lady Rose.� She heard and then felt a prick on her
cheek.� She allowed it pass and then held
her hand out.� A little speck appeared in
her tiny hand.
�Master Myoga, how nice to see
you,� Rose smiled.� �What are you doing
here?�
�More importantly,� the flea said, �what are you doing
milady?�� The flea jumped up and down.
�I�m leaving Master Myoga.� My mother and father were the reason I was
able to stay here.� I won�t trouble Lord
Inu no Taishio any longer.� There is
nothing for me here Master Myoga.�� She said solemnly.
�No!!!� You can�t
leave milady.� I don�t want you too.� You don�t have too.� You�re one of two people who won�t smack me
if I take blood, and you�re blood is soooo
tasty.� Please don�t go!!!�� Myoga pleaded.
�It�s no use Master Myoga.� Thank you for always being so nice to me.� You were one of my few friends.� I thank you for that.�� Rose said as she set him down and walked out
of the room and ran out of the castle.�
�I won�t think about
leaving Sesshomaru behind.� Or that I�m
probably running to my death.� I won�t
think about my brother leaving me.� I�ll
be okay.� Maybe I can make it back and
Talon will take me in if I promise not to be a burden and help him gain his
lands back.�� Rose thought this as
she ran farther and farther away from the castle-fortress of the Western Lands.
