Author's Note: Yay, fast update ne?

Kagura615- Some author's like me, like a little feedback whether you liked the fic or not. I didn't mean to offend you but since I have 162 hits on this fic and only 19 reviews, I guess I wanted to remind people that updates come sooner if the author is motivated. And my motivation ot keep going is feedback. Even a simple , 'nice chapter' will do. Anyway, thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for reviewing dears, oh and go check out Life in Moderation by FantasticalQueenEbonyBlack, it just got updated! XD

Chapter Two

Kagura immediately resisted natural instinct to step back. Intimidation wouldn't work on her anymore.

"It's been a long time, Sesshoumaru." She smirked tasting his name on her tongue.

"You have evidently thought of a valid reason to return."

"To say you missed me in so many words, Aw, I'm touched." She caught her breath in her throat as he took a step closer. She averted her eyes from his and instead focused on his middle section, which came closer as he took another deliberate step.

She paused in her musing whether to flee or hold her ground. She was by no means unfamiliar to his tactics in battle, but Sesshoumaru had never physically harmed her before…

"Still with your little games huh?" He smirked, breath light against her face. Kagura slowly raised her eyes to his.

"Still with that annoying attitude eh?" She challenged. He narrowed his eyes. "Out with it wench. Why have you killed the boy?" He took a tiny step back and she smirked inwardly planning her escape from the lord.

"Oh…he meant something to you?" She grinned up at him cheekily as he glared at her. Kagura started to turn around. "...It's too bad, you had a fine face." She began to walk in the direction of Momo when Sesshoumaru caught her and used his body to pin her to the tree.

"A life for a life asshole!" She raged heatedly before he could open his mouth. "He killed my cat, I killed him. Now get your paws of me!" She pushed against him with her wind but he held on glaring at her.

"Should I believe you witch? I'm afraid you simply don't hold my trust."

"Like I would want it!" She snapped ignoring how that stung her. After all she had risked when Naraku was alive and the bastard still didn't trust her? "Look at the dead carcass behind you, idiot.' She sighed tiredly wishing that she didn't have to deal with this.

Kagura glanced up at the silent lord trying to read his emotions but as usual she couldn't tell if he was thinking perhaps it would have been easier to kill her all those years ago, or pondering upon what he had for breakfast.

"The boy meant no harm to your," He paused to glance at Momo, "animal. He was merely following my instructions." Kagura followed his gaze and pursed her lips ignoring the hopelessness she felt. Another death. Exactly what she needed.

"You owe me Sesshoumaru." She said suddenly an idea filling her. A wonderful idea. She almost laughed, it was just too easy. "Revive her. Do to her what you did for Kohaku." Another old name, she though idly, another old name in this old, old place.

He stepped back and viewed her in what she made out to be disbelief.

"Witch, you go too far." He was frowning now although she could see the idea did not upset as much as it should have. Kagura felt that familiar laughter bubbling up inside her again.

"I may have chopped your little man into thirds," She purred closing up the gap between them easily, "but I'm sure I can repay you somehow-hm?" She nonchalantly traced her finger down his sleeve noting interestedly that his missing arm and regenerated.

"You think you can?" He questioned raising a brow and watching her warily, his breath warming her skin beneath her ear.

"I can most certainly try." She replied huskily tilting her head up to look at him wickedly. He studied her, perhaps questioning his own motives. Sesshoumaru caught her chin in his hand bringing her face up to meet his, for one terrible and wonderful moment she thought he was going to kiss her, but he paused a breath away from touching. She was both relieved and strangely disappointed.

"This game you plan to play Kagura…you will abide to my rules." Hot breath fanned over her face and she nodded slightly as he released her, tawny eyes narrowing slightly.

She frowned inwardly as he walked towards the cat and took out his sword. He knew, damnit. She had to give him credit. She exhaled lightly following his graceful movements. The Tenseiga. Oh how that brought back memories…

With the Lord-

The witch, he decided firmly as he drew Tenseiga, was too smart for her own good. She knew of her own position with him and planned to use that against him. A dangerous woman that he planned to…keep companionship with for a while.

And since she had so annoyingly killed Manuke, he needed someone to run errands for a while. She wouldn't like that, he thought pleased. She wouldn't like that at all. He sheathed his sword and nodded for her to follow him, content to hear her dutifully walking behind him.

It wasn't in his nature to say he had really just missed her.
