Last time on Marriage Between Two Worlds, Sango and Kagome met their future husbands for the first time. Peace did not last long as Naraku sent hundreds of demons to combat both sides. Mitsurugi sent both his daughter and his niece out on the battlefield. Excruciating herself by using too much of her energy, Kagome fainted after she shot a purity arrow killing at least half of the demons. Sango was able to kill the rest of the demons limb from limb. Once everyone was dressed it was time for the celebration to begin.
Mitsurugi and his family were sitting down at the right side of the table while Inutaisho and his family were sitting down at the left side of the table. Mitsurugi steps out front and says, "Friends and fellow warriors, we are gather here tonight to celebrate a wonderful union; a union between two worlds, the demon world and the human world." Mitsurugi reaches down to grab his cup of suke of the table. Then he says, "Let us celebrate and rejoice for the union and the defeat of Naraku!"
The crowd roars to the declaration. Mitsurugi sat down between Mamesha, his second wife, and Inutaisho. It was time for the servants to deliver out the food. Twenty to forty servants came out carrying out the feast for the festival. Once they were finished this was what was laid out before them: twenty wild boars, twenty-five stags, five hundred fishes, and one thousand rice, carrots, radishes, and fruit. Everyone began to serve themselves to this gracious meal. While stuffing food in his mouth Mitsurugi says, "Mamesha, will you and the girls entertain the crowd for us while we enjoy our meal."
"Yes my lord," said the girls. Izayoi, Mamesha, Sango, and Kagome all leave the table to get ready for their performances. They all gather around close to the stage wishing each other good luck. Izayoi walked and stood on stage in the center of the crowd. Everyone hushed as she began the nagauta, a form of singing. When she finished a thunderous sound filled the air as people clapped and whistled. She humbly bowed to each direction and returned to her seat beside her husband.
"That was beautiful Lady Izaoyi," said Mitsurugi. "Sango and Kagome, it's time for you two to impress your future in-laws. Mamesha, my love, will you assist them?"
They all stood and walked to the stage. Sango took to the center of the stage while Kagome stood in the back left beside Mamesha. A servant came to the stage and handed the Shamisen, a Japanese guitar, to Mamesha and a hand carved and decorated fue, a Japanese flute, to Kagome. Before Sango took her position she looked at Sesshomaru. "Kami give me strength," she prayed silently. Sango slowly dropped to her knees and lowered her head. The drums slowly began to beat starting with the taiko, the largest, then the okawa, the medium, and last the tsutsumi, the hand held. They began to beat faster and harder every second until the drums suddenly stop. Mamesha began to play an angelic sound of music. Kagome soon followed in with a longing sound that caught the hearts of the older women in the audience which made them sigh in wanting to be younger. Sango rose from her position and swept her arms in the air like a swan taking flight. Then she crossed her hands and lowered them to her chest. She then moved her arms out from her body and twirled around causing the water design to come to life. The music softens to a sweet, quiet whisper. She began to sing:
A rare beauty in the North...
She's the finest lady on earth
A glance from her, the city falls
A second glance leaves the
whole nation in ruins
There is no city or nation that has been
More cherished than a beauty like this
After Sango sings her beautiful melody that made all the women in the audience shed a few tears, she pauses and lowers her head. Sango picks up a pair of fans, flicks them open, and begins to twirl the fans around in her hand. She moves the fans where each half is over her face but not covering her eyes. She then removes the fans from her face and sings her song over one last time while moving her hands and swaying her hips. Sango lowers her head one more time to finish her performance. When she raised her head, she notices that Sesshomaru isn't there. Sango felt a deep void in her heart. The audience clapped and gave Sango, Mamesha, Kagome, and Izaoyi and standing ovation along with a few whistles. "Wonderful performance Sango," said Mitsurugi.
"Thank you father," Sango replied. "Father, may I be excused from the festival? I'm not feeling so good."
"Of course my dear," said her father.
Feeling sick, Sango left the festival and decided to walk into the garden over by the lake. Sango sees Sesshomaru and asks, "Why did you run off?"
"I do what I damn well please," Sesshomaru said smartly.
"I was just trying to be polite," said Sango.
"Well it was none of your business in the first place," said Sesshomaru as he still despises the situation.
"I can't believe I'm marrying an arrogant ass demon!" Sango screamed.
"Who the hell are you talking to you nosy ass human?" Sesshomaru asked with eyes on fire.
"I'm talking to you mutt," replied Sango.
Sesshomaru laughs ands says, "You must have mistaken me for Inuyasha, I am a purebreds."
"Why you arrogant son of a …
Sesshomaru grabs Sango by her neck, forces her up against a tree, and says, "Don't disrespect my mother in any way."
"Let her go my son," a voice said from the shadows. It was Inutaisho. Sesshomaru let Sango go as she gasps to catch her breath.
"Sango, apologize to your future husband for your misbehavior," Inutaisho demanded.
"I am sorry Lord Sesshomaru," said Sango as she bows down before his feet. When Sango raises her head, Sesshomaru walks off into the darkness. This is the last time she will see him for the next 10 years.
