Hey, I had a different point of view to a short story, from the summary you should know who it's about right now. You know for the longest time I heard of people talking about a Kagura/Sesshy relationship, and I didn't believe it until I finally saw with my two eyes that Manga chapter. I'm not going to say what it's about for all of you who haven't had a chance to read some of the Inuyasha manga yet, but I was completely at a loss of words, so while listening to some of my favourite music like I usually do to get ideas, I got this title off of a James Blunt tune, but it's a little different then how the song goes. Hope you all out there enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of Rumiko Takahashi's incredible characters that I have put into my story, like Kagura and Sesshomaru that I have in here mainly. I also put in a short dialogue from episodes 66 and 67.
This is also for all readers a romantic moment between the two. If you do not like to read Kagura/Sesshy pairings or anything romantic whatsoever, don't read this story.
The Wind Sorceress Kagura watched from a steeped hill at the bright stars that twinkled throughout the skies. The stars…they're so free to do as they please, Kagura thought. If only I could be free of Naraku. With him holding my heart, I cannot do anything. She glanced down as her nails dug into the soft earth with frustration. I've tried many times to be free, yet every time I try, I'm held back like some bird in a cage! Her crimson eyes looked back up at the stars again. Well, if this is all I can enjoy right now, then so be it. She lied down on the grass and continued to star gaze into the night. The moon begun to show its cratered face from the far east of the skies.
"Lord Sesshomaru-sama! Look at all the pretty stars! Let's look at them!" Rin smiled, pointing at each one of them with her small delicate fingers. Her chocolate brown eyes dazzled as each star flickered its greeting into her eyes. However, the toad demon retainer simply huffed at her. His bulging yellow eyes sneered at the young girls and then attentively to his Lord's.
"Silly human girl! Lord Sesshomaru doesn't have the lowly wishes of a human's girl done for her all the time," He croaked. "Besides, Lord Sesshomaru is still searching for that fool Naraku. Right Lord Sesshomaru-sama?
It was clearly apparent that Sesshomaru suddenly stopped, in which Jaken had bumped into his leg and fell on his bottom. Sesshomaru simply looked upward at the stars, the stars that so keenly gleamed back at this Sesshomaru, need not to wait for him to stare back at them he thought. He glanced back at Rin who was now on top of Ah-Uh and his lowly retainer, still glued to the ground rubbing his sore bottom.
"Rin, this Sesshomaru shall let you rest for the time being. Then you can have the time to look at the stars."
"Hai Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin smiled.
"Spoiled human…" Jaken bellowed. Why does Lord Sesshomaru allow the young human to have such wishes granted by him and not let mine be even questioned! I wish to have things too…the toad thought. Sesshomaru continued walking onward looking into the skies. The stars, someone else is watching them like me, he thought.
Kagura continued to watch them until a certain Lord came into mind while watching them. Stars came to configure the great Demon Lord with his long silver hair, and his golden eyes that would stare coldly into hers with such cold-hearted malice. She wondered, is he always like an Ice Prince, this Inu Youkai? That one time he seemed to care about that human girl Rin, and there was that time he joked about Naraku. No, Naraku disapproved of that, she thought. I wonder if Sesshomaru would think of helping me again? She then thought back to when she had asked Sesshomaru to kill Naraku for two shards of the Sacred Jewel.
She dove down from the skies and landed right as the Inu Lord glanced upward for a brief moment.
"Yoh," She said.
"You yourself!" The small toad retainer croaked at her.
She glances down at Sesshomaru while her fan covers her face as a welcoming glance. Looking she could see the retainer hiding behind Sesshomaru's leg and the human girl who feel off the dragon. She was awakening…
"You came following the scent of Naraku, didn't you?"
"Sesshomaru-sama! She is an incarnation of Naraku!" The toad shouted.
She gave a quick darting glance at the Toad Demon who then went back and hid behind his Lord.
"I take it that you are Kagura, Wind Sorceress…" Sesshomaru said back to her.
"My, my," Kagura smiled coyly. "You remember me, what a compliment."
Sesshomaru begun to take out Tokijin from its sheath until she broke in.
"I'm not here to fight you, Sesshomaru," Kagura spoke. "You can put back your weapon…"
He then begun to put Tokijin back into it's sheath, never glancing downward as his golden pools looked back into her crimson ones.
"I'm here on more of a…proposition." She said again.
"Proposition…?" Sesshomaru asked her.
She brought her hand upward to have two shards shining before him. "Do you know what these are?" She asked him. "These are shards from the Shikon no Tama, and I'll give them to you if you do something for me in return…Let's say…Kill Naraku."
"Wh-WHAT!" Jaken shouted out at her.
"Free me Sesshomaru…" She silently said. "Release me from Naraku's grasp…"
She lowered herself slightly in giving Sesshomaru dominance in this proposition given to him, yet he simply glared back at her.
She asked him again and then she finally got an answer.
"So you are saying that you want to betray this Naraku?" He asked her.
"Heh," She smiled. "It's not like I enjoy obeying him to begin with…" She then brought her gaze back downward so that he could think without the gaze of hers.
There was another moment of silence before she finally asked him again. "So, will you do it Sesshomaru?" "Do you have any disadvantages working with me?"
"This Sesshomaru has no interest in the Shikon no Tama, and if you want Naraku defeated so badly why don't you use those shards and defeat him yourself?" He then coldly looked down upon her.
Kagura, now much angered by being so submissive, stood back up kicking her foot firmly on the ground. "What are you afraid of Naraku?"
"This Sesshomaru also will have no obligation of rescuing you either." He calmly spoke.
Now full in rage, she yelled back at him now. "You coward!" Kagura hissed at him. "And to think that you call yourself a MAN!"
At this moment, both Jaken and Rin's jaws suddenly fell open at her crude comment given to their Lord Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru simply pulls a smug smile and looks back at her.
"Humph," She glared back at him. "It seems I've misjudged you, Lord Sesshomaru." She took out a feather from her hair and then glided away.
All she remembers of that night is leaving furiously while Jaken told Sesshomaru that one of Naraku's detachments should be treated the way Sesshomaru did. The nerve…
Now, many moons later, she considered of asking him again, in a more different matter. She had learned more of the Inu TaiYoukai, and since he learned more of her purposes, maybe convincing him wouldn't be so hard. And speaking of whom…She slowly drew a familiar feather from her hair and hoped on the giant feather, following the scent of the Demon Lord.
"Look Lord Sesshomaru-sama! A constellation!" Rin chirped. She continued to giggle and play with Jaken while he gazed at the stars, their gleam all to familiar to him. His eyes then conjured a drawing before him, one of…Kagura? Why did her image appear before him? Her eyes fell onto his, her fan twirling all the while. Trying to get her out of his mind, he looked back at Rin and Jaken, who were currently arguing over a tongue twister. It was at this moment he noticed a scent.
The wind…is changing…
The moon was a quarter into its journey for the night.
Well, that's the end of chapter one! I'm hoping that you guys all liked it and another chapter should be up sooner or later.
