Chapter 1. My Poor Sister

The thick miasma laid over the fortress of Naraku. Corpses of survants who breathed in the miasma laid throughout the castle. Kagura sat outside the castle. She used her Dance of the Dead to put several corpses in battle against each other. She sighed with bordom. Something that usually didn't come to her.

She put her fan down as the bodies fell to the ground and broke into peices. She looked towards the castle with anger and desperation in her eyes. Naraku had finally broken her, or so he thought.

Kagura clenched her fists angrily. She held up her fan and yelled Dance of the Dragon. Several twisters of wind appeared and ran through the castle. However, they were stopped when they hit the barrior Naraku made. She shook with furry at this.

Her thoughts wandered. Naraku was gone now, and yet his barrior held strong against her. She began to curse under her breath. She waved her hand as blades of wind began to move from her and at anything in their path. Yet, still her attacks went useless.

"Damn, that bastard!" she yelled at the barrior. Her eyes full of hate and anger for him. It didn't matter if she was his detachment. She wanted her freedom from him. She began to walk away from the castle.

Kagura fell to the ground while clutching her chest with agony and pain. She looked up weakly at Naraku in his baboon pelt. She could see an evil smirk spread across his pale and evil face.

"Dam you." she mummbled weakly. With all her might, she was able to send a wave of wind blades at him. However, each one was repelled as it came close to him. His smirk only got wider as she did so.

"You know Kagura." he said in a slimey voice. "You weren't supposed to die yet." he said.

Kagura's eyes went large as he continued to squeeze her heart. Blood dripped from his hand as a loud and ear peircing scream was sent throught the night air. That was last of Kagura. Naraku smirked as Kanna suddenly appeared. She knelt down next to the dead body of her sister.

She looked at Naraku, however, he had vanished once more. Kanna placed a hand to Kagura's cold face. It sent a wave of shivers up her spine. She found Kagura's fan, clutched in her hands. Kanna pulled the fan away from her and looked it over. She opened it and gave it a soft wave. As she did, the wind changed and grew slightly, then stopped.

Kanna couldn't beleive it. Not only did Naraku kill her sister, but now, Kanna could control the wind that Kagura once did. For the first time in her life, Kanna cried. They were silent, but tears none the less. Kanna wiped her eyes as she stood up. The fan resting at her feet, she pulled out her mirror and drained Kagura's soul.

"This way, you shall always be with me." she said in her distant and emotionless voice. She bent down and picked up the fan. She looked at it a moment before putting it on the small sash around her waist.

For some reason, she felt emotions, that she never felt before. So many things were racing through her mind. Each one said get revenge. Should she follow in Kagura's footsteps, she would most likely feel the same fate. However, as Kagura once told her, it's better to be dead and free, than to be a slave and alive.
