Chapter 21
Kagura was walking through the woods. She had just finished with the business Hakudoshi had assigned and was trying to walk off the annoyance he had caused her. His plan was certainly an interesting one. While he was quite confident in his success, Kagura knew better. Sesshomaru did hate Inuyasha, but when he saw Rin unharmed and probably rather happy with Kagome he wouldn't fight. He might even stick Rin with the priestess.
There was a rustling of trees and a blue lightning attack came at Kagura. With a flick of her fan the lightning dispersed revealing Sesshomaru.
"Doesn't anyone ever announce themselves anymore?" she said.
Although she sounded annoyed she was pleased to see him.
"That was my announcement, Kagura."
"I see. Well, I assume you've come with a purpose. What is it?"
"What have you done with Rin? And why is the scent of Naraku fading from you?"
"Naraku is dead."
Her voice was harsh as her annoyance level grew further. Hakudoshi was no genius. If he was then he wouldn't have suggested such a forward plan, especially against a dog demon. He was really just one evil little idiot.
"And my first question?" Sesshomaru sounded as emotionless as usual. Kagura saw no use in lying because he'd know soon enough.
"Hakudoshi had me take her to Inuyasha forest and point her in the direction of a Village your brother likes to visit."
"So Hakudoshi is the one controlling you now is he?"
"Not for much longer. Plans have been made to destroy him."
"Leave it to me."
"And why would you help me?"
"I have yet to unleash my furry upon the leader of this project."
"Why not take it out on me?" Kagura wasn't trying to get into a fight. She just wondered why Sesshomaru would bother looking for Hakudoshi when she was right there.
"I have, unfortunately, developed a soft spot for you. Stay here please. I'll be back."
He walked passed her and disappeared into the forest.
