Warning!!!!: this chapter is about Kagura and any ppl that like her I must tell you that I know I said I try to get all characters to act as themselves but for this chapter to work Kagura had to be out of character…sry…
Chapter 13-Desires for an Unwanted Love
Kagura flew across the sky just starting to show the colors of dawn. "Damn that wench for doing this to me!! I may be out of Naraku's influence but I am not out of his grasp! I'm not free of him yet!!!"
Kagura could just see it in her head, that pathetic miko lying nearly dead from the abuse inflicted on her by Naraku as she lay on his bed beneath him broken and shattered. Kagura almost felt sorry for the miko but it was better the miko then herself. The glazed over sapphire eyes sparked to life in the wind sorceress's mind
"Yes, she will break, no matter how strong her spirit" said the wind witch as the first rays of the day flared to life giving light to the endless lush greens of the forest below. Soon night and fallen and Kagura floated down to a large thick tree to sleep in and not be seen from the ground or sky.
xXx
Kagura's eyes sprang open in slight shock and disbelief. She felt it and smelled it; a dark foreboding demonic aura so cold and emotionless that it would have caused hell to freeze over with just a mere gaze. This aura she craved for, to be near for so long to bath in its glory. The only one she had every truly wanted, needed…the great and honorable Lord of the West, the ice prince……Sesshomaru.
"He's near" she whispered and looking to the sky behind dark shadows leaves took to the sky that was speckled with twinkling stars. Sniffing the air and using her youkai sense of smell the wind sorceress smelled the human child and the disgusting weak toad youkai that was his ward. But Sesshomaru-sama's scent was not terribly close to them. Flying on her feather to the child and vassal Kagura waited for the cold, overpowering, stock figure of Sesshomaru.
As Kagura waited her enhanced youkai hearing caught the human girl's and toad youkai's conversation.
"Where do you think he went, Master Jaken?" asked Rin from across the campfire at the small green toad thing.
"Silence Rin!! If Sesshomaru-sama wishes to leave he has every right to do so; so stop asking ridiculous questions!!!" cried out Jaken jumping up and down in frustration of the girl's ignorance and his master's decision to keep the pestering child. "Why does he have to insist on keeping Rin? He always leaves her under my care and wanders off like he always does" thought the toad youkai in a depressing mood as he starred into the fire. "Where are you Sesshomaru-sama" whispered Jaken.
Just at that instant the great Lord of the West made is appearance as he gracefully walked from the looming shadows of the forest that led to the cliff where Rin and Jaken sat themselves with Ah-Un sleeping nearby. The ice prince stopped on the wooded edge narrowing his eyes as he looked from the corner of his molten golden eyes at where the wind sorceress had hidden herself in the shadows and brush of the forest edge.
"SESSHOMARU-SAMA!!!" cried out Rin with excitement and joy at seeing her lord and leapt to her dirty bare feet.
Jaken was jolted from his thoughts at Rin's outcry. Looking up from the flames he saw his gorgeous, silver haired, taiyoukai lord. "Sesshomaru-sama!!"
Sesshomaru stood starring at his companions with no emotion on his face. As he watched Rin starting to run up to his side, the golden youkai eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "This Sesshomaru as yet to take the liberty of killing you Kagura after kidnapping Rin" thought the great Sesshomaru as he examined his claws; looking from his claws to the girl. "Rin stop." The cold emotionless voice of her lord rang out through the night and Rin stopped dead in her tracks.
The eldest son of the Inu no Tashio (sp? I should know the spelling being that I read a lot of stories with him in it or mentioned…) leapt to the near by trees slicing them cleanly in half with deadly precision. A flash of color leapt from the shadows of the forest to land at the tip of the cliff with the crescent moon illuminating her hair and shoulders casting her face in slight shadow as the youkai fan was placed before her face with a gleam of mischief in the wind sorceress's pale red eyes.
Sesshomaru turned slowly on his heel to face the female youkai. "Wind Sorceress Kagura, don't bother trying to concealing yourself from me, your aura and scent are to fetid to let you cower in fear."
"Ehh" Kagura half growled and half gasped and she snapped her fan shut with frustration and a gust of wind.
A small cry of fear and surprise met her ears and Kagura turned her eyes to the young human girl that hid behind a large two headed dragon that in turn stood behind its master. Being near her desired one was driving her to the breaking point but Kagura held back, but it was just a matter of time. Kagura turned to the golden cold eyes before her and placed her fan before her again.
"Sesshomaru-sama, what a pleasure to see you again, and I'm flattered that you remember me" she said holding back a retort that rested lightly on her tongue.
"That is unlikely" he said blinking slowly but not moving an inch. "Make your purpose here known or be gone."
"Haha" chuckled Kagura behind her fan playing the wind around them. "I am not here on Naraku's orders if that is what you mean. My purpose here is for my own entertainment."
"Entertainment" it was not a question as the wind blew his pelt and hair about he stood still watching the woman before him. "You will discover there is no entertainment here, only your worthless demise" he said taking hold of Tokijin's hilt.
The will to hold herself back was no longer there as she felt his aura flare to life with the joy of battle came from the killing perfectionist. Kagura gracefully walked up to him her fan in a none-battle formation just resting at her side. She stood looking up at Sesshomaru's emotionless and expressionless face with a look of triumph in her pale youkai eyes.
"He's mine" she whispered in the safety of her head.
Sesshomaru smelling her nervousness in the air along with the scent of arousal coming from the female before him as eh solemnly blinked with a look of utter boredom on his face. "She has been this close to this Sesshomaru but with anger as her motivation, what is this woman's motivation now" thought the great Sesshomaru.
Kagura was close as she dared as she starred into her dear lord's eyes. "This is the youkai lord I have longed to be near and show my loyalty" said the wind witch to herself and unable to hold herself back any longer Kagura filled the two inches between them as fast as possible and passionately placed her lips against Sesshomaru's with a plea hidden with in its depths.
It took Sesshomaru time to comprehend how her sudden movement went unnoticed to him till he felt the female's lips on his in a passionate yet pleading kiss. But it only took a second for the great Sesshomaru to react and he leapt back landing in a crouch as he let Kagura stumble forward eyes wide with shock.
"Ahhh" gasped Jaken and Rin from where they watched behind Ah-Un.
"That wench just forced herself on Sesshomaru-sama!! THE NERVE!!!" cried the imp flinging his staff about in rage.
"She just kissed mi'lord" whispered Rin dumfounded.
Ah-Un just gave a snort of disproval at the sight.
Sesshomaru stood from his crouch, his eyes narrowed to show he was angry. "To force yourself on this Sesshomaru is punishable with a slow and agonizing demise" said Sesshomaru as his voice acquired a more deadly icy-stone voice.
Kagura stood there shocked. "I really did it…" she whispered out load and Sesshomaru's words licked in her head and she gave a sinister laugh from behind her fan. "So you will kill me…" she said gleefully. "For a little kiss Sesshomaru."
Sesshomaru did not answer her only gripped Tokijin again and slowly slipped it free of his obi in one graceful arch and the sound of steal caressing silk then with his taiyoukai speed attacked Kagura.
"Dance of the Dragon!!" cried out Kagura as she leapt away from the furious dog youkai, but not before his attack sliced through her kimono sleeve leaving her right arm bare to the elements exposing the healing wounds that Kagome and left behind; Kagura snarled at the memory.
"So this is not the latest battle you have lost and taken part in, but you will not leave it alive" said Sesshomaru as he stabbed Tokijin into the ground and flexed his poisonous claws as they glowed a sickly green. He was interested in who had done this to the wind sorceress and had won the battle no doubt.
"I did not loose!!" snapped Kagura closing her fan angrily. "Naraku prevented me from slaughtering that annoying miko…Kagome" snarled the wind youkai as she said the name.
This was an answer the Lord of the West did not expect. "My pathetic half-breed brother's wench prevailed against Kagura…there is something essential that she is neglecting to tell me" thought Sesshomaru but his trail of thought was swept away by a soft voice reaching his ears.
"Onee-san's (sp? Means sister I believe tell me if I'm wrong) in danger?" asked Rin as she stepped out from behind Ah-Un looking at the youkai that had kidnapped her some time ago. "Is Kagome-san hurt?" she asked again in a sweet, innocent, cautious voice yet showed no fear.
"Rin?" thought Sesshomaru shocked and confused yet he did not let it show on his stone face merely looked at the young girl that had traveled with him for so long. Remembering how many times Kagome had taken care of Rin as a sister Rin in turned called her such.
Kagura huffed that sounded like an annoyed laughter. "Naraku has her" she said grinning in evil thought. "She is cursed by him and he has kidnapped her to make her his…she should be becoming a raging, murderous youkai who knows nothing but how to kill in a matter of days…course that's if she breaks sooner then expected…" trailed the female youkai bring her fan up and laughing evilly behind it. Turning to Sesshomaru a gleam in her eye she spoke. "Does this sound familiar, Sesshomaru?"
"Unfortunately so; you speck of Inuyasha" answered Sesshomaru in his calm voice.
"Ahh" gasped Rin holding her hands in front of her mouth in shock her eyes showing fear for her onee-san.
Kagura grinned as she smelled the girl's fear on the wind for her miko onee-san, but never did she expect next the words that burst from the young child's mouth.
"Sesshomaru-sama!! We must help her!!"
Sesshomaru nearly spoke in shock but Jaken's wail of annoyance, anger, and shock kept the great Sesshomaru from doing just what the green imp did.
"WHAT!!!? RIN ARE YOU NUTS!!!?"
"But onee-san is in trouble!! We have to help her!!!" cried Rin tears in her eyes but yet to be shed.
"Haha" laughed Kagura in the pale crescent light of the moon. "Only why to stop the curse is to kill Naraku or Kagome; Inuyasha couldn't kill his own woman if he's life depended upon it and he is no where near strong enough to kill Naraku. Poor Inuyasha, what are you to do?" said the witch in a mocking pity filled voice and a grin on her face as she thought of the blood spilling spectacle.
"Silence" rang out Sesshomaru's voice though it did not rise in anger the way it was said left everyone quit to stare at him. "I have guaranteed your death and you shall have it" said the Lord of the West and charge the unprepared wind sorceresses.
"Huh?" gasped Kagura half gurgling as well as she felt the splitting pain piercing through her torso. "Ehh?" she groaned looking down to find Tokijin perturbing from her stomach; the sword that was created with her own younger brother's fangs. Looking back up Kagura found the cold hard eyes of Sesshomaru starring down at her.
"Where's Naraku?"
"H-He's…in a c-clearing two days f-from here" gurgled Kagura as she felt blood leave the side of her mouth.
"Which direction?" and Sesshomaru twisted the blade in his hand slowly but strongly sending anguishing pain through Kagura's body and she cried out in pain.
"S-South, south-east, f-fallow the b-base o-of the near by mountains" she said pointing a crimson dripping hand to the mountains at her back. "T-There's a barrier, b-but fallow h-her conflicting a-aura and you're s-sure to find t-the way easily" she said gasping for breath but never was able to get enough.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes smelling the truth in her words. The Lord of the West whipped his sword free with an enormous twist of the blade from the Kagura's torso.
"AHHHH" cried out Kagura as the came back ten fold and forced her to collapse to her knees unable to hold herself any longer she kneeled there in her own blood gasping for the air that would never come as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Sesshomaru stabbed his sword into the ground at his side then glared at the youkai female before him. "She may leave, and this Sesshomaru can not have that" said Sesshomaru to himself as the wind played the tips of his silver locks as he raised a glowing clawed hand. With one slice a crossed the chest it was done.
"AHHHH" screamed out Kagura as the felt the poison claws rip through her flesh; the poison flew through her veins like lightning causing more anguishing pain to consume her. As her scream faded and her eyes glazed over with her face turning pale, she whispered words she had never had the will to muster before. "Ahh" she said sighing. "I love him, my great Sesshomaru-sama" she whispered as death took her in a gust of wind as she fell to her side at the feet of the one she had desired above all else.
Sesshomaru had heard her words and was deeply shocked but said nothing as the smell of death filled his sensitive nose coming from his prey that lay at his feet. Turning on his heel he looked at the shocked Jaken, and the teary-eyes Rin. Looking to the moon he finally spoke in his usual voice with no emotion and calm. "Rest, we leave at dawn" and he turned and grabbed the body of the wind sorceress and flung her body over the side of the cliff as it dissolved into white, soft feathers that floated and traveled in the wind.
Rin understood completely and lay next to Ah-Un's belly to keep warm. "Onee-san" whispered Rin as she was swept away in to the land of the dreaming.
A/N: HOWS THAT:D I did my best to keep Sesshomaru in character…damn he's a hard one to do when he hardly talks and not one of my most favorite characters in the manga/anime but he's certainly up there ;P I did like how Kagura was killed by him I hate that pairing…Sess/Kagura…YEACK!!! But yes I want comments on how well I did with the pain in the ass, Lord Fluffy-Butt XD…if I need to change something to sound more like him let me know I do try my best; don't give me flames on how Kagura's so out of character…she had to be for this chapter to work so…NO FLAMES ON HER!!! Please and thank you :D
BLAZE
P.S. - I hope Sesshomaru doesn't get to mad that I called him Lord Fluffy-Butt…(looks over her shoulder to see a crimson eyes youkai inu-lord that is beyond all reason furious)…Hahaha(laughs nervously insert sweat drop)…there could be a worse way to die right!? I'M SO DEAD!!!
