Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

A/N: Ok so I know that Twice Burned is far from being finished but this idea just hit me so I decided I better run with it. Don't hate me if it becomes a complete mess. I know that this chapter is a little short, but it will pick up. I promise.

The wind blew Kagura's raven black hair around in a crazy mess. The wind user didn't mind it, as it was the only thing that was comforting to her on this walk.

Despite looking strong, Kagura was a complete mess on the inside. But only her lips, which were pressed together in a thin line, were the indicator of this confliction. The red eyed demoness did not want to do what she was about to, but she knew she had to.

For her to be totally free.

Kagura squinted to see the water fountain ahead of her. It was the place this began, so it made sense for this to end in the same place as well. It was like completing one cycle so others could begin.

Clouds moved in front of the glaring sun and Kagura was finally able to see. She wasn't surprised to see the familiar face staring back at her. He was never late for anything.

He was also the man that saved her. He took her from the destruction of her father, Naraku, and helped her out for the first two years of being an adult. Standing in front of her was the man that had made her happy, gave her hope for life. Here was the man she loved, and she was about to break up with him.

"Kagura," He said so emotionless, but his hazel eyes twinkled at the sight of his love.

"Hey Sesshomaru," Kagura said back, looking away from his face. She couldn't do this while he was looking so beautiful. "I just want to talk to you for a little bit."

"So you said on the phone." Sesshomaru remarked dryly, sensing that this didn't sound good.

"I've been thinking a lot lately," Kagura paused, readying herself for her next words. "- and I decided I needed to be completely free."

Sesshomaru stilled. "You are free, you're away from your father for good and surviving on your own." The dog demon argued.

"Yes and I love that fact, but I'm not completely free. I'm committed to you, and I need to break away from that. I don't want to be controlled ever again, not by anyone. I want to be alone, just like the wind is, and I want to travel the world." Kagura said in a pant.

"You want to leave me." Sesshomaru summarized.

"I love you Sesshomaru and always will, but I need to be alone. I need to be free," Kagura explained putting her head in her hands.

"Away from me," The great demon lord said turning away from the wind user, defeated. He did not want to stand here anymore and listen to this. He couldn't. All he wanted to do was get in a car, and drive very away fast.

"Sesshomaru!" Kagura called out seeing him start to walk away from her. "Meet me in the end," The wind witch called out again even though he didn't turn around. He didn't even look at her, and that fact hurt much worse than anything he could have said.

Kagura gasped at the pain in her chest. She couldn't cry here, it was a public place. She had to make it to where she parked. It took every ounce of strength the demoness possessed not to give up, curl up and bawl on the hard concrete.

Taking a deep breath, Kagura reminded herself that she had made her goal. Now she was truly free. But instead of feeling warm and happy, all the demoness felt was sadness. He was now gone from her life.

Just as she had planned.

With another surge of strength, the wind demoness walked on. She can do this.
