Chapter Eleven: The Secret's Out
"That person that you just passed in the hall, he's my brother. Let's say he's… been looking for me for a couple years now," Kagura began, staring at her hands, in her lap. Both bands were seated in front of her, waiting to hear her tale. After all, it was clear that Naraku was the stalker that was mentioned in the letter. She had no choice but to explain, now.
"His name…is Naraku. He was the one who…murdered my family," she mumbled.
As expected, Kagome and Sango's eyes widen to the size of saucers. "WHAT!"
"You never mentioned-" Kagome stuttered, her voice laced with horror.
"You never said-" Sango stammered.
Kagura smiled, a trace of bitterness visible. "I don't exactly announce it to every person I meet."
"Kagura we were your friends for years! And you didn't think to tell us such an important fact about yourself?" Kagome was yelling, beside herself with worry.
Kagura looked away. The only reason that she didn't tell them was so they wouldn't worry about her. Now that the secret was out, she wasn't sure how to act.
"Just get on with it, will you? I've got better things to do," Inuyasha snapped.
Kagome turned to him. Her glare was cold enough to put out the sun. "Then, leave! Kagura was kind enough to warn you about what she knows about the stalker and you just throw it away? Fine then! Leave and get yourself killed, not like I care!"
Inuyasha stood his ground. "Fine, maybe I will! Who cares who or what the stalker is, as long as it doesn't kill you, it doesn't matter!"
For Kagome, that was the last straw. A full-blown yelling match followed. No one made any move to stop it, so the two continued shouting and insulting each other for a couple minutes straight.
'So, Naraku's back…I wonder if he has anybody to work for him…he's not the type to get his hands dirty and do it himself…' Kagura mused, toning out the loud bickering in the background, 'I'll have to be more careful. If I'm seen talking to any of my friends, he might take it as a weak point…after all, I'm Naraku's only target. I can't have my friends being hurt because of that…'
"Hello, earth to Kagura, are you there?" Sango yelled into her ear. Kagura jumped.
"Huh?" the wind sorceress oh-so-brilliantly said.
Sango rolled her eyes. "I said, don't you think we should break the fight?" She smirked wickedly and raised her eyebrows.
Kagura began to smile. "I gotcha…" Causally, the youkai stood up from her sitting position on the floor. Walking toward the arguing pair, she pushed Kagome in the back, moving her in the direction of the white-haired boy.
"Well you-mmmph!" Kagome was abruptly cut off. Automatically grabbing hold of the nearest object, which happened to be Inuyasha, she crashed into him. Incidentally, her lips landed on his, along with knocking him to the ground.
Both of their eyes widened in shock. Kagura smirked. Her work here was done.
"Wow, and I thought I was a pervert," Miroku stated, smiling.
