"Ouch!" Stupid thorn! Oh but, it's worth it. I just want to see the girl smile again, to see her whole face light up. Sango always loved it when I picked flowers for her, hopefully she will too. Poor thing, if possible I hate Naraku even more for kidnapping this innocent young girl.
He searched a while longer, picking through the field, in search for the prettiest flowers, and with the most pleasing scent. He wasn't sure why he wanted to see her happy, he supposed it just wasn't right for a little girl like that to be held as a hostage.
If only I could free her. But it's not time yet, soon though, and I can reveal my memories. Curse Naraku! Why did he have to get her into this mess? Would his evil reign ever end?
Shrugging off his frustration, he peered at the flowers in his hand, it would do. Walking back to the little cabin where he watched over the girl, he allowed himself to enjoy the scent of the arrangement.
She hadn't seen her Lord Sesshomaru in days, or Master Jaken. But she knew they'd come for her, they always did. The boy watched over her, and even protected her a few times against that mean wind witch Kagura. He even disposed of the stray wolves. She remembered it clearly.
She woke with a fright in the night, it was the second night in her capture. She knew her worst nightmare was close by, and suddenly she was overcome with remembrance of the feel of teeth sinking into her flesh, ripping her body to shreds. Heavy paws pushing her limp form down to the ground.
But in a flash he was there. She would not die again, not this night. Her body shuddered at the fresh memories, just as he placed a warm hand on her shoulder. She saw him bring up his other hand to capture her chin and force her gaze to rest onto his eyes.
She was shocked to see the emotions there, before he seemed devoid, almost an empty shell. She could tell he was angry. A moment later he quickly exited the cabin and made quick work of the howling wolves. He returned swiftly without a scratch, and she was so grateful, she cried, silent tears streaming down her face.
He has no idea what he did for me that night, as he held my body as I wept over my fears. Somehow, I felt so safe with him there with me. Even though he was ordered to keep me chained, he did not. I just wish he'd speak once in a while.
The winds picked up, and suddenly Kagura was standing before him. They had a mutual understanding now, they both seeked freedom from Naraku's grasp.
"Well well, how is the girl holding up?"
"She is safe, nothing will touch her."
"My, aren't you taking your guardian job a little too seriously?"
"I only do as what is requested of me."
"You mean demanded?" she glared at the boy.
"…" he glared right back, only to find her smirk down at him.
"Kohaku, I have news…"
