888
Kagura looked up into the night sky. The moon hung full and proud; the stars twinkled merrily in it wake. She sighed softly, wishing he was here, or better yet, that she was far away with him. Naraku's castle felt even more oppressive than usual and she longed for Sesshomaru to come and rescue her. She sighed again, imaging his strong arm around her, pulling her close and whispering words of love in her ear.
Silly fool! she chided herself, knowing damned well, the only words of love he would ever speak to her were, "You want your freedom, then fight for it." And fight for it she will, that much she had promised herself. She would show him just how strong she could be, how worthy she was of his love. A faint smile tugged at her lips when she imagined the look on his face, that brief flicker of emotion she longed to see, when she placed his hand on her breast and he felt her heart, beating inside.
And yet, she could not shake the deep feeling of dread that this was all a dream, that she would in the end have her freedom, only to lose him. Kagura stared at the moon, trying to banish the sadness she felt. Sesshomaru… I wish you loved me as much as I love you… If you did, I know I could be, no, would be, that much stronger! She sighed softly, looking down at the valley below. Why do I waste my time with you...? What hold do you have on my heart that makes me crave your love more than my freedom…? Why do I hear your voice in every whisper…? See you in every shadow…? Am I that desperate…? Or foolish…? Or am I simply in love…?
