"Speaking"

(Thinking)

What happened last time

What happened in chapter 3:

"Damn, I guess Naraku found a way to use my fan against me, at this rate I will freeze to death"

She suddenly turned her attention to Sesshomaru and noticed his mokomoko. She first hesitated to go near the inu youkai, but the winds grew stronger and colder.

(He won't notice me, and besides it's only for one night) She slipped under his mokomoko. The warmth of his mokomoko made her feel drowsy, and eventually she fell to sleep.

But she was wrong about one thing. Sesshomaru did notice her movement because of his sense of smell.

When Sesshomaru felt the cold breeze he too sensed Kagura shiver a little bit. He then out his arm around her and hugged her tight.

(Just like what she said, it's only for one night. Besides I can't leave a woman in distress)

Sesshomaru felt something within him. The same feeling as the last time he helped Kagura. And yet again, he did not complain.

Chapter 4: Revelations

Kagura was awakened by the warmth of the sun touching her face.

"Good morning Miss Kagura" a manly tone greeted her

Kagura just smiled back at Sesshomaru. She noticed Sesshomarus mokomoko wrapped around her, and this made her face turn red.

"Why did you wrap this thing around me?"

"What do you mean? You were the one who decided to stay next to me. Besides you were freezing"

Kagura didn't expect that answer. The night before she thought Sesshomaru won't notice her movements.

"How did you?" A surprised Kagura asked

Looking a Kagura, Sesshomaru sternly answered "Don't think little about this Sesshomaru, for you see I am a full blooded inu youkai and we have a delicate sense of smell. And last night I knew you."

(Keh, this bastard is acting arrogantly again. Maybe next time I should really shut up)

Sesshomaru stood up, took his mokomoko from Kagura and faced her.

"Since you are awake we should be heading back to camp"

Kagura looked up at Sesshomaru "What's the rush? Besides I haven't had breakfast yet"

"There is someone very important waiting for me at home. And the longer this person waits the more this person worries"

Sesshomaru stretched out his hand to Kagura and helped her up from the ground. He then crouched down in front of Kagura. A confused Kagura looked at Sesshomaru.

"What are you doing?" She asked

"Since my camp will take half of the day to get there I believe it is faster if you ride at my back."

"And why would I believe you this time?"

"Because this Sesshomaru isn't fond of lying and you are still injured"

Sesshomaru gave Kagura a concerned look. His eyes rocked Kaguras disposition.

(Why does he care so much about me? My wounds are starting to close and yet he still wants to help me.)

Still, Kagura didn't want to waste Sesshomarus effort. So she climbed at his back and held tight to Sesshomaru. Her chest pressed on Sesshomarus back. Sesshomaru felt her breasts; he did not jump in shock because he did not want to surprise Kagura or accidentally drop her.

Sesshomaru then quickly ran to the west to his camp.

"Where is he?" A frantic imp walked back and forth trying to cool his nerves.

"He can't die, he just can't... or can he? No no no no Jaken do not think ill of Sesshomaru –sama" He then shook his heads several times so that he can forget what he said.

He then heard noises coming from the trees near him. The frightened imp hid behind a two headed dragon that looks like a horse. The imp hugged the dragons' leg and started screaming.

"Ah-Un, protect me!!!"

The dragon however was not scared. It stared at the direction where the sound was coming from. The dragons' senses knew that the reason behind the noise. It suddenly ran to the direction of the noise. The sudden movements of the dragon made Jaken loose his balance and tumbled.

"No Ah-Un don't go there, I do not want to be alone!!" the imp cried

The imp thought the dragon might run away. But when the dragon suddenly stopped Jaken realized that there was someone standing in front of Ah-Uns'way. The imps eyes started to twinkle and started to run with his arms opened wide.

"Lord Sesshomaru –sama!!! I am so happy to see you!!"

The imp suddenly stopped when he saw his master was not alone. He pointed at Kagura with his little finger with disgust.

"Lord Sesshomaru –sama, what is that thing doing at your back?"

In anger Kagura glared at the imp and crumpled Sesshomarus' upper sleeve to relieve her from her anger. Sesshomaru felt Kaguras' hand and faced Jaken.

"Jaken! I order you not to talk to our guest that way."

The imp then bowed down to his master and asked for forgiveness.

"I'm sorry my lord I did not know" he looked at Kagura and noticed that Kagura gave him a small grin.

Kagura got off from Sesshomarus' back, but to her surprise Sesshomaru didn't want to let her go.

"I'm fine now, you can let go of me"

Sesshomaru gently put Kagura down. "Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yes I'm sure" she gave him a warm smile as a sign of her health.

Sesshomaru looked around and saw that Jaken has not fixed the area.

"Jaken, clean the area. We will be leaving soon"

"But my lord what about he others?"

Sesshomaru looked at Jaken and with an emotionless face answered him

"There were no survivors Jaken" Sesshomaru looked at Kagura "except for one"

Jaken obeyed his masters' orders and packed up as quickly as he can. When he finally finished went up to Sesshomaru.

"Emperor Sesshomaru –sama, everything is now kept, we can now go" The solemn moment broke went they heard Kagura laughing.

"You've got to be kidding me right? This arrogant fool can't be the emperor"

Jaken ran to Kagura and pushed her head down to floor.

"Take back what you said witch! Ask for his forgiveness!"

"I'm not taking back what I said because it's the truth!"

Sesshomaru looked at Kaguras eyes to see if she was lying, but he saw that she wasn't

"Jaken let go of her, she is telling the truth"

"But my lord –"Jaken looked at Sesshomaru and saw that he was not angry at Kagura. Jaken lets go of Kaguras' head and steps back.

"Why you little toad I could just squish you!"

She was about to pound Jaken when Sesshomaru grabbed her by the arm. He grabbed her shoulders and looked at her

"Where were you for the past five years?"

Kagura stared at him, her eyes trembling with fear

"I..I, don't want to talk about it."

Sesshomaru looked at her trembling eyes; he knew something was wrong with Kagura.

"Do you know about anything on what happened five years ago?" he asked.

Kagura shook her head "No, all I know is that you can't be the emperor because Naraku is"

"This man you call the real emperor is lying to you"

"Oh yeah, well then prove it" she challenged Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru lets go of Kaguras shoulders and told her a story.

** What happened five years ago**

"Everyone close the main gates, bring all the women and children to safety!!"

A well known village was being attacked by a mob of demons. You could smell the burning houses and fresh blood from the slaughtered people, the cries of the surviving villagers can be heard from the heavens and the laughter of the foe echoes within the walls. Happiness was supposed to be seen on this day, for the village was preparing for the new harvest festival. But when the sun came down a surprise attacked was launched.

A battered soldier ran to the foot of a castle, he used all his might to open the huge gates.

"Emperor Inutaisho most of the women and children were brought to the mountains and are now safe"

A silver haired youkai turned around to look at the battered soldier and nodded his head.

"Tell the rest of the soldiers to join the women and children. This attack was intentional, and I fear that the person responsible for this is coming this way. I do not want the numbers of deaths to increase."

"Yes my lord" The soldier obeyed the emperor and gathered the surviving men.

A young Sesshomaru was beside the emperor at that time.

"Father, do you believe that Naraku is responsible for this?"

The emperor looked at his son "Yes, Naraku is the only one who can manipulate demons this way."

"Father, do you know why he is doing this?"

"Yes, Sesshomaru" the emperor answered.

Both youkais felt a strong force heading their way and they knew that it was Naraku. In a split second they saw their enemy. A big grin on his face and a purple aura coated his body.

"Long time no see Inutaisho. I am nery happy that we had this little reunion"

The emperor looked at his son and told him "Sesshomaru, stay away from this fight."

The son looked at his father and was confused "But father together we can-"

Without any warning Inutaisho pushed Sesshomaru and blocked Narakus' attack. A huge purple light flew from Narakus' chest and hit Inutaisho at his back.

"He is too strong for you, now leave." Inutaisho barked at his son.

Sesshomaru still hesitated and took out his Tokijin and tried to strike Naraku. His strike failed and he was pummelled to the ground.

"Sesshomaru!" The emperor cried. He ran to Naraku and tried to cut him in half with his sword. But Naraku was too quick, he punched Inutaisho on the chest and let out a tentacle that went through the other end. The emperor spat out blood and fell to the ground.

"Father!" Sesshomaru cried.

A very happy Naraku was pleased on what he has done and started to laugh

"I did it, I finally beat the great Inutaisho." He grabbed Inutaisho by his hair and looked at him.

"Tell me Inutaisho does that hurt?" He then grabbed him by the neck and tried to suffocate him to death.

"With you out of the way I can be the lord of the western lands, all I need is your little sword"

Sesshomaru started to get furious. His eyes were blood shot red, his fangs were visible and his claws started to crack.

Naraku did not notice Sesshomaru and was surprised when Sesshomaru pounced on him.

Sesshomaru tried to scratch his foe with his poisonous nails, but the wounds would just heal.

Inutaisho raised his upper body in pain and saw his son enraged at his foe.

"Sesshomaru, don't lose yourself in anger you might-"But the emperor was too late.

Sesshomaru couldn't fight his anger and transformed into a huge white fox and sent the castle crumbling. Naraku did not back down and attacked the huge fox, he punched Sesshomaru on the nose and sent him flying on the ground.

Inutaisho couldn't believe on what happened to his son, with all his strength he stood up and followed the white fox.

"Sesshomaru! Calm down you might-" Sesshomaru was out of control. He didn't care who he was hitting, he scratched his father on the chest and stomped on a small house. The white fox stared at Inutaisho and in a matter of seconds, transformed back to Sesshomaru. Realizing on what he has done he flew down to his father.

"Father, I'm sorry I-"Sesshomaru was ashamed on what he has done. But Inutaisho thought of something else. He did not punish Sesshomaru but instead took out his sword and gave it to Sesshomaru.

"My son, this is a symbol of being the ruler of the western lands. I am giving this to you"

Sesshomaru looked at his father in disbelief

"Father you can't give this to me. Look at what I've done you can't trust me"

Inutaisho looked at his son with his eyes trying to stay opened.

"I do not regret my decision, me giving you this position. I see great potential in you my son. This will teach you how to protect the ones close to you without using your demon powers."

Sesshomaru took the sword from his fathers' hands; he looked at his dying father when all of a sudden he felt a sharp pain coming from his sides. Naraku tried to kill Sesshomaru in hopes of being emperor of the western lands.

"Give me the sword" Naraku let more tentacles out hit Sesshomaru on his leg. he pumped loads of miasma in that wound, Sesshomarus wound started to steam from the poison and he let out a cry.

Naraku took the sword from Sesshomaru and looked at its beauty.

"I now have the precious symbol, all I have left to do is kill you" But when he turned to kill Sesshomaru he wasn't there. Naraku didn't mind because he knew that he was going to be the leader of the western lands.

**End of the five year flashback**


Kagura looked at Sesshomaru with disbelief. "You're lying to me aren't you?"

"I told you before, I'm not fond of lying" Sesshomaru barked at her.

At that moment Kagura knew Sesshomaru wasn't lying to her. She could see Sesshomarus' pain in his eyes.

(I should've just shut up) Kagura thought to herself.

Sesshomaru stood up stretched out his hand and helps Kagura up. He rode on Ah-Un with Kagura on his lap.

(Even if I insulted him, he still treats me this way)

"My lord where are we heading to now?" The imp questioned.

Sesshomaru looked at Jaken and in a soft voice he answered

"Home"
