It was a cold night, but Kagura wasn't worried. The fact that she was a youkai made her immune against colder temperatures. Kagura clenched her fist. "That bastard Naraku," she hissed. "all I want is to be free..."
A sadness began to fill her features, and she held out another hand. "Free...free like the wind...the wind that I was meant to be a part of..."
Slowly, her sad expression shifted to anger. "I hate you, I hate you, I hate you," she chanted. And one day, I will defeat you.
"Not likely," Goshinki said, sitting down next to her, still towering far above her. "Naraku is far stronger than even I can estimate. Without the Shikon no Tama, it's unlikely that even Juuroumaru could kill him."
"I'm stronger than Juuroumaru," Kagura said sullenly. "Kanna's the strongest, but I'm the oldest, and she wouldn't do anything unless Naraku told her to."
"I really don't see what you're all upset about. It's not like he's horrible to us, and we get to have loads of fun." Goshinki protested. "And I'm stronger than she is. By far. Where'd you get that she could beat him if she wanted to?"
"Baka! I never said that she could. I just said that she's easily the strongest. Kanna's the only one with powers that affect the spiritual side of a being; the rest of us only have physical attacks. And those are mainly useless against him."
Goshinki thought this over for a minute. "Yeah..." he said slowly. "But you're crazy. I'm not planning on rebelling."
"Neither am I," Kagura snapped. "I just won't say no to freedom if the opportunity presents itself."
Goshinki chuckled, an odd sound in his throat. "Tricky little bitch you are. Sure you're not a kitsune?"
Kagura scowled. Goshinki stood up, then walked away. Kagura sighed, and blew a gust of wind towards him, knowing it was pointless, as he would predict the attack - which he did.
She spent the rest of the evening fixing the rips in her kimono. Bastard!!!! Him and Naraku both.
