Dissclaimer:I don't own Inuyasha or the character's
Chapter 9
Kagome opened her eyes and was a bit surprised they were at her house. Kagura's wind seemed to have carried them all the way there. Kagome would have questioned something like this in the past, but now it wasn't anything unusual. Kagome turned to the woman who brought them there and immediately noticed her nervous expression.
Deciding to ignore it for now Kagome asked, "Kagura, will you really tell me everything?"
Kagura looked at her and nodded slowly, her expression seemed saddened. "I said I would tell you what I know," she replied.
Kagome smiled and motioned her to follow her inside. Kagura noticed the damage of the house but didn't even glance at it as she walked inside. Kagome closed the door before leading the way into the kitchen; where Sota was still sitting, doing his studies. He looked up when he heard them and his eyes widened when he noticed Kagura. "K-Kagura!" he exclaimed, standing up.
"It's alright Sota," Kagome said, "She's our guest."
Sota stared dumbfounded for a minute, before his eyes locked on Kagome's arm. "Sis...you're bleeding," he stuttered.
Kagome raised an eyebrow at first but when she looked down she could see Sota was right. Her sleeve was torn, exposing the scratches she received from Inuyasha and the glass. She hadn't paid much attention to it, but she was beginning to feel pain now. "It...it's ok Sota," she said looking away from her new injury. "For now, why don't you go outside and play?"
Sota was about to protest but Kagome's eyes narrowed into a demanding stare. Slowly he walked out of the kitchen and outside. Once the front door closed Kagome turned to Kagura with an apologetic expression. "Sorry, but do you mind if I treat this wound first?" she practically begged.
Kagura smiled, "Would you like my help miss?" Kagura asked.
Kagome was surprised to say the least. She had no idea that Kagura would offer to help her. Still, Kagura had always been kind to her; whether she meant to or not. "S-sure," Kagome replied softly.
Kagura nodded and walked into the kitchen and pulled out a chair. "If you get some medical supplies I can help." Kagome took the hint and ran to the bathroom to get their first aid kit. When Kagome returned Kagura was sitting comfortably at the table and she glanced at Kagome as she re-entered the room. Kagome sat across from her and Kagura opened the small box. Kagome slowly rolled up her sleeve so Kagura had better access; she winced a couple times but not to much.
"I don't treat injuries that much," Kagura said as she pulled a cleaning cloth from the box. "We have nurses for that."
Kagome wasn't sure what she was supposed to say so she remained silent. "The nurses and guards are all humans. And they aren't gentle and take their work seriously," she said as she slowly whipped Kagome's cuts.
"It was meant to be that way though. We were created to hate humans. So having humans as our spectators and healers, were meant to fuel our hatred towards them."
Kagura stopped talking while she pulled out some cotton and rubbing alcohol. After a minute she began again "All of us were either kidnapped or bought while we were infants or young children. The younger they are, the easier they would be to create and manipulate," Kagura said sadly and began dabbing the stinging liquid on her flesh.
Kagome winced and held in a hiss of pain. Kagura was gentle as she continued to apply it. "This injury isn't too bad," Kagura said, "It should be healed in a week or so."
Kagome nodded, "Kagura please continue," she said softly.
Kagura reached into the box again and pulled out some long bandages and tape. While she wrapped the injured arm up she spoke, "Despite what you humans want to believe, there are many things that happen in this world that you will never be aware of. That is life however," she said.
"Naraku's experiments were one of them. He is a top scientist who's work revolves around live experiments. At first it began with animal testing, DNA, and chemicals. Than it eventually turned into human experiments. He is crazy when it comes to his work.
He found out ways to combine animal DNA with humans and also enhanced it so the specimen could have strange...powers, I guess," Kagura said slowly, "The chemicals in it eat away at the humans DNA for a short period of time, until the animal DNA reacts and begins to combine and repair it. Soon he found out that it was easier for the subject to take the doses, if they were human children. Also...the person wouldn't die.
So, once he had the child, all he had to do was inject and watch the changes. He also found out that some children were too weak for the proper doses, which caused mutations of any kind. Having such a drastic changes to the body would make it more difficult to allow outside. These species were named the failures.
However, though Naraku would often kill them off right away, he let a few live in order to conduct more experiments and exercises on them. If they could prove their worth when they grew up, Naraku would keep them alive. Koga is a fine example. He has that...tail of course, but he proved himself. He obeys Naraku like a good pet would, and he also shows no sign of pity when killing.
Inuyasha was different. He refused to listen or obey; no matter how badly he was punished. This didn't happen often and because of this Naraku decided to try something new with him. Using smaller doses, he would attempt to try and tame him using the pain from the liquid."
Kagura paused as she taped the bandages in place. "I don't understand why Naraku was so interested in him, but for some reason he enjoyed the challenge of taming him. Inuyasha is afraid of Naraku after all, so I guess when Inuyasha refused to listen he became more excited."
Kagome's eyes were already widening from the talk. Some of it she had heard before, but it still made her surprised. "Inuyasha was in a lot of pain from it all and still refused to obey anybody. Naraku was never the one doing any of the punishments, so when Naraku actually showed up to do it himself, Inuyasha finally forced himself to bow down. He was afraid of only him... He used to beg for death a lot back than, but Naraku...would never comply
One day Inuyasha was taking out his anger and frustrations in the training grounds with Koga. Koga and him never got along, but that day Inuyasha seemed more on edge than usual. Koga said something about him being a fool for not following orders and that he was going to get himself killed... Inuyasha snapped."
Kagome noticed Kagura shudder at the memory. "I remember Inuyasha was about sixteen at the time and he went into a major fit of rage. Attacking the guards and nurses that tried to interfere with their fight, than...he transformed."
***flashback***
Koga dodged the claws that tried to slash at him. The smirk he was wearing grew into a cocky grin as he jumped up to avoid another. Inuyasha snarled in anger and jumped up after him, only to be kicked back down my Koga's foot. Koga landed a couple feet away from him and crossed his arms as he watched the puppy pick himself up.
Inuyasha growled lowly and positioned himself in his battle stance. "Why do you even bother training?" Koga asked, "It's obvious Naraku is going to kill you at some point. He won't tolerate your behavior for much longer."
"Shut the fuck up!" Inuyasha yelled.
Kagura watched silently, next to Tsubaki, as her her brothers continued their fight. Kagura could sense something different about Inuyasha. He seemed extremely on edge, but she figured it was because the boy was receiving more punishments lately. Not that he didn't deserve it. Nobody was aloud to dissobey; especially not a failure like him.
Koga kicked Inuyasha hard in the stomach, causing the boy to fly backwards. He managed to twist his body a bit so he landed, and skitted across the ground. Within a second Inuyasha lewped forward, slashing ferociously at his wolf brother. "Give up Inuyasha!" the wolf boy chuckled.
Inuyasha ignroed and comtinued his attacks; each being either blocked or dodged. Inuyasha growlwd deeper in frustration. Koga found this amusing and jumped backwards as Inuyasha ran towards him and spun his body to kick him.
The puppy boy had enough and let out a ferocious scream. Everyone in the room was surprised how angry and deadly it sounded. But it didn't stop there. Suddenly Inuyasha screamed, almost in pain, but mostly anger.
His cries and growls got louder and everyone stared wide eyed. Inuyasha leaned forward for a moment and the air around him began to change. "Araghh!" he screamed.
Inuyasha panted heavily, hiding his face with his bangs. "Hey mut!" Koga called, "What the hell was that about?"
Inuyasha didn't reply; instead he leaped forward, claws ready to pearce Koga. Koga tried to dodge but his left shoulder was grazed. Inuyasha turned and continued his attack. His speed was much faster than usual that Koga couldn't avoid the puppies claws.
Koga jumped up and stared down at Inuyasha bellow him. The puppy looked up at him and Koga's eyes widened when he saw bright red orbs staring up at him. Before Koga could really look tbough, Inuyasha disapeared. Koga gasped, but than yelped lightly when Inuyasha locked his arms under Koga's, holding him in place as they fell back to he ground.
Koga struggled under Inuyasha's grip. Kagura, Tsubaki and all the guards and spectors watched dumbfounded as the pupy held the wolf in place. They were all surprised, and scared at the sudden change. Koga than howled in pain as Inuyasha bit, hard, in Koga's shoulder. He than began digging his claws in Koga's flesh, and dragged them downward.
Koga cried but was soon realised. Taking the oppertunity Koga tried to run away on to have the puppy follow him. Soon Koga' agonized cries filled and echoed through the training grounds. Inuyasha punch, scratched, bit continuously.
Kagura looked at Tsubaki with a worried expression and Tsubaki smirked devously before nodding. She looked at one of the guards who was holding a gun. He nodded and aimed for the ferocious boy. Inuyasha continued to beat the yelping wolf, even when the tranquilizer dart hit him.
It took a few minutes to kick in but eventually the boy fell over. The marks on his cheeks slowly faded, and claws and fangs slowly shrunk back to normal. "Take Koga to the medical room," Tsubaki ordered. She smiled and stared at the unconscious boy. "Take Inuyasha to Naraku," she grinned looking at Kagura.
Kagura was still in shock but eventually nodded and motioned two guards to get him.
***flashback over***
It was a frightening sight to see. The mutation from the extra doses finally surfaced. I don't have to explain the form to you since you already saw it, and I guess you can imagine the surprise all of us spectators had.
Koga was almost killed, and a few guards and nurses died. But eventually he was shot with a tranquilizer and strangely...he changed back," Kagura said looking up at Kagome. "Naraku was very pleased with what happened. Even more so, when he found out Inuyasha couldn't remember exactly what happened. It was the perfect transformation. None of his pets were able to do it.
For a few years after that Naraku tried to figure out how it happened, and learned that if Inuyasha is pushed to far or injected with a large dose he will transform, and he will attack anybody and anything in his way. This was also a problem, considering Naraku himself was also in danger, but he didn't seem fazed by it.
He also found out that if he keeps transforming, his body will grow to accustomed and won't change back; leaving him as mindless, uncontrollable killer. Because of this Naraku decided not to continue and decided that he would use Inuyasha, only, when necessary.
After a few years Inuyasha got angry at Tsubaki, Naraku's right hand at the time. He managed to kill her and it wasn't long after that Kikyo was hired. Despite her young age Kikyo was brilliant," Kagura stated and Kagome felt a bit jealous just hearing it.
"She was an amazing scientist and nurse, and very serious. Like the other humans that worked there, she held no pity or emotion to us. Kikyo and Naraku got along well and came up with exercises and other things to make us stronger. She also came up with our armor," Kagura said and tugged on her sleeve. "I sometimes wonder if they use magic or something, but the armor is light and looks like normal clothing. Sword blades can't penetrate it or cut it...most of the time anyway."
Kagura stopped to allow Kagome time to take in the information. Than started again. "One day Kikyo stumbled upon Inuyasha. He was receiving at brutal beating, and I guess for the first time she felt pity for one of us. She treated him and came up with her own experiment. She asked Naraku if she could attempt a different method of controlling the wild boy...and the rest of us if it worked. None of us could have guessed that she was taking about being kind."
Inuyasha woke feeling groggy and sick. His body felt extremely hot, mostly from his injuries and cuts, but his head was pounding hard. His mouth was dry and tasted like iron, from coughing up blood. The tips of his fingers and gums were both throbbing; which confirmed one thing to dog-boy. He transformed again.
He himself didn't know too much about it, but he knew the after feeling well enough to know.
Inuyasha groaned in pain and attempted to curl his body, only to have shocks of pain fill him. Hissing he decided to attempt something else. Rolling over slowly he let out a small yelp, as his back hit the cold stone floor. It hurt for a moment, but having the cold stone on his burning back felt good.
He lied there for a few minutes staring at the ceiling above. The cell wasn't completely dark, but it was so dim that it might as well be. Something entered his nostrils that instantly made his eyes widen. It was the smell of blood, but not his own. He was soaked in his own blood, but he could tell that this wasn't his; it smelt sweeter.
Inuyasha moved his hand closer to his face and sniffed the dried blood on his claws. Sure enough, it was a very familiar scent, one that he missed, but that fact that her blood was on his claws made him scared. "Sh-she saw me," he whispered in disbelief.
His body began shaking as the truth set in. How? He thought. Inuyasha's mind began to race. Not only did Kagome see him in that state, but...he also managed to hurt her. How bad?!
As he thought about it his mind began to calm down. He couldn't have hurt her too badly if just his claws were stained. Even so, guilt filled him and he gulped at one very possible thought: Kagome would be afraid of him now. Just the idea made his heart sink.
Kagome listened patiently as Kagura retold the story of how Kikyo died. "After that," Kagura said, "Inuyasha went insane. He refused to leave his cell. Refused to eat and train, despite all the torture he had to endure. It got to the point where they had to inject nutrients in order for him to survive.
Naraku could have easily killed him or let him die on his own, but...he liked watching Inuyasha's pain. He also used Inuyasha as an example to all of us, as a reminder: We are only allowed to care for Naraku. We aren't allowed to leave the castle without Naraku's permission. In short...we belong only to him."
Kagome could hear pain in the wind woman's voice. It was obviously clear that Kagura didn't like it anymore than Inuyasha did. "Kagura can I ask you something?" Kagome asked shyly.
Kagura hesitantly nodded and waited for the girl to speak. "You're allowed outside the mansion right? Why haven't you tried to escape or run away?"
Kagura didn't seemed surprised by the question. Tapping the table with her fingers a few times she answered, "I have my reasons."
Kagome raised an eyebrow. "Like what?"
"I... I just do," she said, in a slightly embarrassed voice, that only made Kagome more suspicious. "Can I continue?" she asked trying to change the conversation.
Kagome sighed and nodded. "Good. Anyway a couple years went by and Inuyasha's condition didn't really change. It was about 6 months before, that Inuyasha actually wanted to be taken to the training grounds. Because of what we are, it was pretty easy for Inuyasha to regain his strength. Everyone thought it was because he'd finally moved on, but that wasn't the case.
Out of nowhere, Inuyasha killed two of our siblings that were assigned to take him to his cell and started his escape. He found his way around the basement dungeons rather easily, killing or seriously damaging anybody in his way; even some of our siblings. I was with Naraku at the time and he instructed me to stop him," Kagura said looking at the very interested girl.
"Sesshomaru and Koga were both away on missions, so it was also very good timing on Inuyasha's part, but even so...I really don't think he would have stopped. I did as I was told, and went to block his exit,"
***flashback***
Kagura ran through the long hallway, that connected the mansion to the basements. Her heart was pounding in nervousness and anger. Stopping and positioning herself in preparation she waited. Not much time had passed before she could hear Inuyasha approaching the door. Flicking two of her fans open she took a deep breath and the door opened with a bang.
The silver haird boy leaped out at top speed, not bothering to look back or close the door behind him. He ran towards her and she jumped out directly into his path; causing him to halt. "Get out of my way Kagura!" Inuyasha demanded, in a low threatening growl.
"Just where do you think you're going?" Kagura replied.
Inuyasha curled his claws and hunched himself in a battle stance. "I've had enough!" he replied, "I'm leaving! If you don't want to die, you'll get out of my way!"
Confidence, anger and adrenaline was fueling him. He was so close to the exit he could just taste the fresh air Kikyo told him about. Kagura frowned and flicked two decorative fans open. "Don't think you'll escape so easily," Kagura smirked, "You're not going anywhere."
Inuyasha took a glance behind him, in case someone had followed. He looked back at the woman and snarled. "I mean it Kagura, get out of...my way!" he yelled and lunged forward.
Kagura didn't dare dodge the attack, in fear that she might let him pass by. However she did manage to block the impact of his claws, by using on of her fans as a shield. The hallway was too narrow for a real fight, even with the width of it. "You can't...escape," Kagura growled, trying to hold him back.
Inuyasha snarled and backstepped slightly and struck again. Kagura blocked it, but gasped as she felt his knee hit her stomach. Ignoring the pain she pushed forward with all her strength. Inuyasha stumbled a bit but easily regained his balance. Jumping back a distance he smirked deveously at her and ran towards her.
Kagura prepared herself for the strike, but was surprised when he jumped upwards. His body span over her and she growled as he landed swiftly behind her. She wouldn't allow that though and raced after him. Inuyasha sensed her coming and pivoted on his heal and reached forward.
Kagura's eyes widened as the dog boy dug his claws into her stomach. She let out a pain filled gasp and fell to her knees as soon as he pulled them out. Inuyasha looked down at her for a second but stepped away. Kagura frowned and reached quickly towards him, grabbing tightly to his ankle.
The boy let out an furious growl and struggled against her grip. "Inuyasha...I won't...allow you to escape," Kagura said in small gasps.
"Let me go Kagura!" he yelled. Kagura shook her head and tightened her grip.
If she could hold onto him long enough, someone would eventually come and capture him. Inuyasha knew that as well and he struggled a bit more. After a couple minutes Inuyasha stopped. Kagura looked up at him and her eyes widened.
Inuyasha's eyes were big and shining. They were the eyes of a begging puppy. "Kagura please," he practically whispered."Just let me go. I want to see the outside!" His voice sounded like a pleading child.
Kagura was caught off guard by his sudden change in attitude, enough for her grip to loosen a bit. Inuyasha smirked and pulled himself away from her. It shocked her, but not as much as it did when Inuyasha grabbed her by the back of her collar and picked her off the ground.
The wound in her abdomen made it hard for her to even resist, not that it mattered. Footsteps could be heard and Inuyasha held onto her until he saw figures coming from the stairs and entering the hall. With a swift movement, Inuyasha threw his sister across the hallway hitting and knocking over the new people.
Not bothering to check the damage Inuyasha ran towards the end of the hall and turned left. The giant doors were the the only thing in his way from seeing the outside world, and the large gates were all that was left before he gained his freedom. With his claws he sliced the door open and ran outside.
His adrenaline was too high for him to stop and stare at any of his new surroundings. There were a couple guards waiting outside, but he knew that it was expected. Easily he took them down and reached the wooden gates. He could hear more footsteps running after him and he wasted no more time.
He jumped as high as he could and dug his claws in the gate. Climbing up quickly, ignoring the people bellow and the things being thrown at him. A small sting hit his shoulder, but he swatted it away. The way it felt he knew he was hit by a tranquilizer dart, but he refused to allow it to kick in. Not now!
Kagura watched, clenching her bleeding stomach as the boy leaped over the fence. The doors were opened at about the same time, but by the time anyone got outside them, Inuyasha was gone. Kagura's eyes were wide. He actually managed to escape.
***flashback over***
Kagome felt like her eyes would pop out, they were so wide. "I couldn't believe it," Kagura said in a strange whisper. "He managed to escape Naraku's maze, kill guards, and fight off and kill some of his siblings...without even one injury. He even escaped the grounds and further, even after being shot by a tranquilizer that could put a elephant to sleep in seconds."
Kagome smiled as she remembered finding Inuyasha unconscious at the park. The tranquilizer probably put him to sleep as soon as he made it to the park. "I suppose he met you not long after," Kagura said, bringing Kagome out of her thoughts.
"Y-yea," Kagome said, remembering the circumstances of their meeting. "He...saved me," she whispered.
Kagura stared at Kagome with confusion written all over her face. Kagome smiled and shook her head. Kagura sighed, "You should have just left him behind that day," Kagura stated.
Inuyasha glanced to his side when he heard his cell door opening. His eyes still were a bit fuzzy, but he recognized the figured coming inside. He let out a low growl, "Naraku."
Naraku closed the cell door behind him and walked towards the injured pup. "How are you feeling Inuyasha?" he asked kneeling next to him.
The injured boy tried to move away from the sadistic man, but shocking pain caused him to groan. Naraku tilted his head, as he watched amused at the boy's failed attempt. "I see you're still rather sore," Naraku smiled. Inuyasha hissed as Naraku gently stroked one of his new cuts on his arm.
"F-Fuck...you," Inuyasha groaned.
Naraku crossed his arms and sighed deeply. "That's no way to talk to you're master," Naraku said, his voice deepening.
Inuyasha shivered, but refused to respond. Naraku frowned and reached towards him. Inuyasha tried to swat him away only to have his wrist captured by Naraku. The other continued reaching towards him and he dug his fingers in Inuyasha's silver hair and tightly grasped it. Inuyasha let out a small hiss as he felt Naraku pull him upwards.
Naraku released his wrist and stood himself up as he lifted the boy higher, until the boy was on his knees. Naraku leaned closer and Inuyasha clenched his eyes shut. Inuyasha shuddered as Naraku licked the side of his cheek, cleaning off some dry blood. Naraku moved away and smirked. Inuyasha's eyes were still tightly closed, his face twisting in pain and rage. "Open you're eyes Inuyasha," Naraku said softly. The puppy refused to comply and Naraku's stare turned into an murderous glare.
Releasing his grip on the boy's hair slightly, Inuyasha slowly slid, but not far from his grip before Naraku swung his arm towards him. Inuyasha let out a small pain filled cry, as a strong hand hit his face. At the same moment Naraku fully released his grip, causing the boy to fly onto his side, with a painful thump.
Inuyasha panted heavily on the ground. His wounds that were slowly closing before, were now reopened. Gritting his teeth he struggled to make himself move. His body was in too much pain now, and his head pounded harder. "Tell me Inuyasha," Naraku said staring down at him, "Why is it you refuse to obey me? Even after so long?"
The dog boy didn't answer. "I allowed you to live as a child, just for that you should be grateful. I even let you be with that woman, Kikyo, for a while. If... you wouldn't have betrayed me and attempted to escape, that woman may still be alive," Naraku grinned, "I may have even allowed you two to be together."
Inuyasha opened his glazed filled eyes slightly. Naraku's grin grew. "Than when I finally thought you were obeying, you escaped. Not only that but you once again fell in love with a human girl. Did you not care about her safety at all? How about now?" he paused.
"You know full well that I'll kill her off eventually," Inuyasha looked up at him with terrified eyes. Naraku leaned closer to him, his devilish grin never fading. "I suppose you figured it out. She's seen you in your true form. What girl wouldn't be scared of it? Kikyo certainly was."
Inuyasha wanted to growl, to tell him to shut up, but he knew there was truth his words. Naraku bent down and scratched lightly behind Inuyasha's ears and Inuyasha bit back a pleasured moan. Naraku knew Inuyasha's every weakness.
"Do you think she won't scream if she ever sees you again?" Naraku asked, "I can still picture her crying, as she left you behind."
Those words stabbed the dog boy's heart. Inuyasha clenched his eyes shut again and Naraku let out a sarcastic 'aw' of sympathy. "My pet, I always told you were a monster," he said petting the dog boy's hair gently, pretending to act comforting. "That form is what proves it."
Naraku went silent for a moment. "Inuyasha how about I make you a deal?" he asked is tone slowly returning to normal. "If you obey my every order from now one...I won't kill the girl."
Inuyasha's eyes shot open and he glared up at Naraku. "I'm nobody's pet, Naraku!" he spat. "And I won't let you lay a finger on Kagome!"
The shady man let out a dry chuckle and stood from his place. "Foolish boy... I'll let you think about the offer," he said and began walking to the door. "Though I hope you still defy me. You're much more amusing when you resist... Either way Inuyasha you'll always be my pet. Remember that."
Inuyasha kept his eyes closed until Naraku left his cell. When he opened his eyes, tears fell down his cheeks, creating trails in the dry blood and eventually onto the stone floor. He couldn't hold them back. "Why even give me the choice?" he whispered. "I'll be stuck on his leash either way."
"Naraku wants both you and Inuyasha feel pain," Kagura said. "Physical and emotional. He wishes to break you in anyway possible."
Kagome shuddered at the thought. What was he planning though? How did he plan on breaking her? She was about to ask when Sota entered the kitchen, "Uh sis?" he said gently.
Kagome silently gulped, hoping Sota didn't hear Kagura's last statement. "What is it?"
Sota walked towards the table and handed Kagome something. Kagome raised an eyebrow as she examined the origami, paper crane. "A...man just dropped it off," he said glancing at Kagura, who's eyes were already wide.
Kagome was confused and flipped the crane around. She tilted her head and raised it closer to her face. At a glance it simply looked like a crane, folded with plain white paper. But looking closer, Kagome could make out letters written on the inside of the paper. Kagome was about to unfold it, when Kagura grabbed it from her hands.
Kagome was about to comment but Kagura began to sniff it. Both Sota and Kagome watched curiously for a moment. Kagura pulled the crane away from her face, and her face was pale. She almost looked sick.
"Kagura?" Kagome asked softly.
"I-I...I better get back," she said dropping the crane on the table.
She stood up from her chair so quickly that it fell to the floor, and she practically ran from the kitchen. Kagome followed after her and managed to grab her arm before she could leave the house. "Kagura, what's wrong? What does that crane mean?"
"Naraku is making his next move," she said, not looking at her. "We have to hurry..."
We? Hurry?, Kagome thought. "What do you mean?" she asked.
Kagura turned around and she looked even more nervous. "Listen give me a few days to think of a plan," she said just above a whisper. "For now...just be careful. "
With that, Kagura left the house leaving a confused Kagome behind. "Is... she going to help Inuyasha?" she asked herself, hopefully.
Kagome went back to the kitchen where Sota was flipping the crane around as he waited. He looked up curiously at her and she smiled slightly. Sitting back at the table Kagome took the crane from Sota and slowly and carefully unfolded it. Sota was interested and watched her closly as she unfolded the last parts.
Miss Kagome,
How are you doing? I hope you're well. I'm afraid I don't have time to visit with you today, but I hope to meet you very soon. I'm sure you've already guessed it, but I am Inuyasha's brother. Sadly I haven't met him either, but I'm going to. I can't wait to meet you both.
Kagome felt a little shaken and scared reading the message. Even more so, when she didn't see a signature. Sota looked a bit nervous as well, but only because his sister did. Kagome folded the paper and looked at Sota. "Sota what did the man look like?" she whispered.
"Uh...he was dressed in a fancy blue kimono...long black hair in a ponytail...and he had lipstick on? I almost mistook him for a girl."
Kagome nodded. She never once saw a man like that. Inuyasha never met him, but Kagura seemed to know? She thought, biting the nail on her thumb. Her and Sota have to be extra careful...
Okai! How was that? :3 Hehe bye for now. P.S. I love reviews
