(A/N: Thanks for reading my first fanfic. I made this thing up and sadly, I don't own Inuyasha :'(. Please R&R and I'll have the next chapter up shortly.)

Prologue: Planning

Naraku was in his castle, thinking, contemplating, calculating. That's what he ever did was think these days, as far as Kagura was concerned. Those pathetic fools didn't even notice that Naraku had stopped his assault on them just to think. What a waste of time.

Kagura had been summoned for the first time in months, finding her heart in his hands. That sent numerous shivers down her back at the memories that accompanied the heart. Naraku had finally gotten tired of being betrayed by her and decided to put her in her place. He had tortured her past endurance and sanity to the point where she broke and now she was obedient. Obedient without question was she, and actually willing to do his dirty work.

Kagura calmly walked into his foul smelling room, bowing stiffly before saying, "What is it you wish, Master Naraku?" She wore a new wardrobe ever since Naraku decided to forget about Inuyasha and his friends. It was now a pale red color with black lines all over. She no longer wore her hair up, but let it cascade down her back in waves.

"Kagura, is it true that Inuyasha's miko wench has a big piece of the Shikon no Tama?" Naraku asked coldly, eyes drilling into her bowed form.

"Yes master Naraku. It is one quarter of the whole." She replied, standing straight once more.

"Has it also been months since she even tried to go home?" He asked, his hands resting on his legs, back perfectly straight.

"Yes, she looks like she is going to stay for a while, too." She answered, giving away no emotion in her beautiful face.

Naraku seemed satisfied with her answer, falling silent in his thoughts. He stirred slightly and asked, "Is that dead priestess Kikyo with them now?" He stared coldly, practically spitting out the name.

"Yes, she joined their group a while ago for extra protection against you." She smiled slightly, as if saying like that will work.

Naraku smiled, but no warmth radiated from it at all. "I want you to find that impudent Inuyasha and bring me his precious miko."

Kagura nodded. Naraku made a small gesture to tell her she was dismissed. She turned to go but stopped at the door when Naraku spoke again.

"Oh and Kagura. Before I forget... Inflict as much pain as you can on Inuyasha before returning. I want to taunt him as much as possible."

"Understood," Was all Kagura said before leaving the room, and Naraku, behind.

"Kanna, come here." Naraku commanded. As if from nowhere, Kanna in all her glory appeared holding a small, silver mirror, "Yes, Naraku?" She asked in her soft voice. Her eyes unseeing since Kagome blinded her.

"Show me Inuyasha's group. I want to see the look on his face when that wench is taken from him." Naraku smiled coldly.

"As you wish, Naraku," Kanna replied softly, holding out her mirror.

Naraku smiled again, thinking how easy it was to manipulate peoples' hearts and desires for power… and love, it seems.

(A/N: Sorry it's so short guys. But it's only the prologue and I might have alot of time on my hands so the next chapters will be up soon, promise.)
