---------------------------------------------------

The castle was silent. No one walked the hallways that were constantly empty. The shades on all the windows were pulled down and no sunlight poured through the cracks even though it was daybreak.

The sun never shone here. The only thing that seemed to float around in the sky was great amounts of miasma that protected the castle from unwelcome company.

The castle's appearance was hauntingly royal. The ends of the roof curved up and had a golden orb placed on the tops of each one. The window frames were made from a smooth oak that had been darkened to match the color of the foundation that was a mixture of dark purples and browns.

One of the straw mats that were used as doors rustled in a sudden wind that had kicked up. It swayed back and forth slowly as it subsided.

The entire castle was filled with a brilliant red light that engulfed everything. A shadow could be seen from the inside quarters as it moved around.

The straw door was pushed to the side as the shadow crept about in the main courtyard. It stopped at another entrance and entered after scanning the area.

The floorboards in the hallways moaned as the shadow walked across them. A faint noise of the shadow's feet scraping the ground could be heard as it neared the main throne room.

It sat down in the biggest chair near the back wall. A flash of lightning lit up the room and two red eyes and a wicked white smile were the only figures of the shadow that could be seen.

It cocked its head to the side and a lantern was lit. The light reviled the shadow's true form.

A man sat in the chair. His black hair was put up on his head and some locks of hair escaped and spilled out over his ears. He wore a light blue eye shadow that seemed to bring out the redness in his eyes. He wore a very royal kimono that had extra long sleeves and extra baggy pants to suit his likings.

His calm cool form was shaken when another shadow appeared in the hallway. He quickly light up another lantern with a nod of his head to see who was there. A cold, cruel smile appeared on his face as he recognized the person that now stood before him.

She was wrapped up in chains. They hung off her arms and on her legs as they all connected to the main chain that had a spiked ball at the end. Her eyes were glazed over with fear and her figures looked weary. She bowed respectfully towards the cold man and then stood up even though the chains were over weighted and caused her to have a slight crook in her back.

"It's you, Kagura."

She nodded.

"So why have you interrupted me?"

Kagura pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the man with a shaky hand. She withdrew it quickly and looked at him as he read it.

"I see. Well go bring her to me."

She pulled on her chains and motioned to him that they were too heavy for the distance that she had to walk. He only answered by slapping her across the face. She turned around and hung her head low. She walked out of the room. The chains slashed upon each other as her legs moved slowly.

Kagura's eyes shot open in pain as the metal rubbed up against a wound on her leg that her master had given her because she didn't answer a question.

She halted when his cold voice rang down the hallway.

"Tell her that Naraku wishes to see her."

Kagura continued to walk without bowing to her master. She heard quick footsteps on the floorboards and he was beside her in an instant. She cowered in fear when he struck her across the back, making Kagura crash into the floor.

"Show more respect wench!"

Naraku walked back into the throne room. Kagura managed to get up with shaky legs and continued to walk into the direction that she was ordered to.

The chains tightened and Kagura almost went flying into the wall. The spiked ball was stuck on one of the corners that she had passed. She bent down and placed both hands on it and lifted it up.

Her fragile arms began to shake and her legs started to wobble. Kagura had no choice but to drop it. She fell over when the ball made contact with the floor.

Naraku's voice could be heard from the throne room as he heard the ball crashing through the wood and making a gapping hole where it fell.

Kagura slowly stood up and walked as fast as she could, for running was highly impossible and her boy just wouldn't move that fast anymore.

At last the door to the room of which Kagura was sent to, appeared at the end of the winding, narrow hallway.

She stood outside of it and knocked on the door. A woman answered it. She wore elegant red robes with white patterns on the bottom of it. Her hair was put loosely back into a ponytail and her jet-black hair gleamed in the low lighting.

Kagura handed her a slip of paper with Naraku's wishes on it. She watched as the elder woman studied it for a moment and then nodded as she stiffed a slight laugh.

"Tell Naraku that next time he wants to see me he should come himself."

She looked at Kagura who still stood in the doorway waiting for something but the elegant woman did not know what.

"Oh. I forgot."

The woman went back into the room and went over to a make shift desk. She quickly wrote on a different slip of paper. She walked back to Kagura and glared when she still hadn't turned around. She was just waiting to be dismissed.

"Well hurry now you useless slave."

Kagura bowed as she was taught so cruelly to and went back down the hallway, each step painful as the chains rubbed roughly against the wounds that Naraku had given her whenever he wanted her to speak, but she could not.

When Kagura entered Naraku's room he was angry and pacing back and forth from the throne chair to the window that was located on the left hand side of the room. The cruel man stopped and looked into the scarlet eyes that were watching him. He walked over to Kagura. She held out the paper that she was given and took a step back after he had finished reading it.

"Inconsiderate bitch. I don't have to do anything Kikyou says. It doesn't matter if she's my queen or not."

Kagura looked the other way. She didn't want to see the anger in his eyes anymore.

Naraku raised a hand to strike Kagura and only laughed when she began to shake badly.

"Go get everything ready for our guest. You'll get your punishment later."
