"Capture, Betrayal, and Freedom"

Kagura sat on the porch of Naraku's fortress with her fan resting in her right hand. In a nervous motion, she kept opening and shutting the weapon which was making a quiet clicking sound.

Kanna, who was standing not so far away from the wind demon, just stared blankly. "What is bothering you, Kagura?" asked the smaller demon.

Kagura glared at her sister for a moment and definitely shut her fan. "Nothing is bothering me."

"Then why are you so nervous?" replied Kanna.

Kagura growled. Of course there was something bothering her, ever since Naraku had turned InuYasha into his servant by removing his heart, the dog demon had changed. For some reason, it unnerved Kagura to no end. The change disgusted her and terrified her on so many levels.

The wind sorceress stiffened when she heard a snort from behind her. When she turned her head slightly, she could see the red pants that indicated the half demon was standing behind her.

"Kanna, Master Naraku has sent for you," InuYasha said in an all too calm voice.

The smaller demon simply nodded and walked away leaving Kagura alone with him. The wind demon stiffened even more than before and continued to do so with each and every step that her sister made.

"She's gone," InuYasha whispered.

Kagura felt like screaming and then running away from the half demon that stood just behind her. She could feel him smiling even though her back was turned to him.

"I missed you, big sister," he announced loudly as he give the wind sorceress a bear hug and swung her around in the circle.

After a few moments of spinning, he finally let her feet tough the ground but he continued to nuzzle her affectionately.

"I missed you, too," she growled out. "Now let me go."

InuYasha let her go but he didn't seem so happy about. His ears bent over and his head was bowed, kind of like a puppy who was just disciplined. This new InuYasha bothered Kagura on so many levels, she was sure the old InuYasha would strangle himself if he saw this.

"What did Naraku say?" Kagura asked.

InuYasha immediately perked up. "Master Naraku said that there are some people he wants dead and he wants me to do it because I'm the best fighter." The inuhanyou was grinning ear to ear as he was retelling his little story.

Kagura felt the bottom of her stomach fall out. "Did he say anything else?"

"Of course he did, Master Naraku always has a lot to say. Let's see, what else did he say?" he sat thoughtfully for a moment. "Well, he did remind me that he loves me but after that I wasn't really paying attention."

Kagura was starting to feel her lunch come back for a visit. This new InuYasha was like a little child that just wanted to be accepted. Naraku had used this to his advantage and told the hanyou that he loved him. The half demon was so grateful that he'd probably walk through the gates of hell if Naraku asked him to.

"What did he say about the people you're supposed to kill?" Kagura rephrased.

"Well, all I remember of that is I'm supposed to kill a miko," he replied in earnest. "Can you help me big sister? I don't know what a miko is."

Kagura sat and stared at the half demon. Naraku must mean Kikyo,she thought.

"Please, Kagura," InuYasha whined tugging at her sleeve.

"Fine, I'll help."

Kagura was then given another huge bear hug. "Oh thank you so much!"

The wind demon was now gasping for breath and trying to push the half demon away, though he just let go of her after a moment.

"Master Naraku said to leave in the morning, so make sure you sleep really well," InuYasha told her sternly. "I love you, big sister." The half demon gave her a kiss on the cheek and then skipped off to what was most likely bed.

Kagura shivered.

Chapter Two End

A/N: Again, I wrote this eight years ago. I initially didn't plan on moving it to my new account but then my partner and some other reviewers encouraged me to do it. On my old account, I would still get a review for this story about every six months asking for a conclusion but I honestly can't do it anymore. I loved this story but I've lost my notes for it many years ago and have also lost interest in the series. So, do not ask me to finish it. I've moved on and it isn't going to happen.

I've been advised to let some else take up the reins and finish it but I don't know if I could do that either. I'm willing to entertain the idea though. If you think you want to finish this unfinished work, please talk to me first.

I honestly don't even know at this point. I just wanted to move it so all my stuff was consolidated.

Thank you for reading!
