In this story, Naraku says she didn't try to run away like last time, this is before she got the shards from Kouga and asked Sesshoumaru for help, Fluffy just knows her because. he does,lol, well here is the second chapter,YAY!! //bold and italics mean flashback or memory// 'this is thinking' ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Kanna. Show me Kagura." Naraku demanded.

Kanna held up her mirror and showed him Kagura riding on her feather heading toward

the barrier.

"Good, she didn't try to run away like last time she got shards. But maybe I should

punish her anyway, saying she was too slow, kukuku, this will be fun." He said with a

evil smirk on his face.

Kanna stood showing no emotion, even though she was very scared for her little sister.

As she walked away she started to think about what happened last time

//"Kagura why did try to run away?" It wasn't a question, he just wanted to tease her.

"You know you couldn't beat me with the 3 shards you tried to steel. For trying to

betray me you get punished." He had just turned into his demon form and lashed out a

tentacle at Kagura who was only able to prevent herself from getting the full blow. She

clutched her arm as it gushed out blood on her kimono. He kept striking at her until

she lied on the floor with deep gashes in her body. She could barley pull herself up.//

'I wanted to help her' Kanna thought 'but I had strict orders not to help her.'

She started back to her room wandering what her sister had to go thought this time. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Kagura walked cautiously through the barrier incase Naraku was there. She knew he

probably looked through Kanna's mirror to see where she was. Hopefully he wouldn't

do anything to her, but she was expecting something from him. She remembered what

happened last time so she decided to get on her feather and fly the rest of the way.

Kagura made it safely to her room. Although she was still a little scared. She decided to

practice in the dojo a little before she was sent to go get another shard. She was almost

there and let her guard down so she could practice better. Naraku was

waiting for her to do that and made his strike. Kagura remembered seeing a blur of black

before the world went dark.

Kagura awoke to an unfamiliar surrounding. She looked around with blurry eyes for a

second before everything came into focus. Naraku was standing before her with a smirk

on his face and evil brewing dangerously in his eyes.

"I see you have come to. Before you try to attack me, you should listen to me if you want

to survive. All I will say is you have more than one path to choose from with many

demons thriving in the forest. If you try to fly away, hawk demons will get you and drag

you down." With that said he disappeared.

Still coming to grips with what just happened, what Naraku had said finally sunk in.

'How could I have though to let my guard down, let alone actually do it!" She mentally

kicked herself for that 'Oh well now I have to get through this damn death maze.' She

thought as she started walking through the forest expecting a demon to come out from

every corner of the forest.

After walking for what seemed like forever and having a few scratches from

demons, Kagura made it to the end of the path. It turned out to be a dead end. She got

angry and decided to fly up on her feather to see if she could catch a glimpse of where the

right path was. As she soared over the tree tops, a large flock of hawk demon attacked

her before she could look around. She tried to ward them off, but they came from every

which way. Before long the entire flock was closing in on her. She tried to fight but it

was no use. They all started to peck at her and scratch her, finally she fell off her

feather, through the trees and landed with a big THUMP on a different path. Kagura rose

up pain enveloping her as she moved. 'I have to keep moving, I don't want to be in this

forest at night, and it is already late in the day. Dammit why did Naraku punish me

anyway? I got the shard he wanted and didn't turn on him. I wish I could just kill him,

quickly, but so I could see the look on his face when I did it. I would like to see

his fear overcome his calmness and evilness. If only I could.' She didn't even notice that

she had been able to get up and was now walking slowly down the path.

"Kukuku. I knew this would be challenging to her. She can't even overcome a

flock of hawk demons." Naraku said while gazing into Kanna's mirror. " I thought this

would be easy for her since she killed the demon with the shard so easily. If I knew she

would have this much trouble I would have let her train before I sent her into this."

Kanna stared Naraku, she knew he didn't mean that last part. 'He punishes her little

sister for doing something he wanted her to do. She got the shard, why is he being so

cruel toward her Kagura? I know why, because he is so evil, nothing else matters except

getting the shard.' Her insides were churning with fear for the life of her sister. ' He

thinks this isn't as bad as what he did last time? At least last time he le her live, but now

she has a chance to die.'

Kagura reached a dead end again. She decided to cut through the woods to the

next path. The bleeding of her wounds had stopped, but she winced almost every step

because of the pain. She made it out of the small forest only having to use her fan on

easy demons. When she came across the next path, it was much longer and she prepared

herself to fight a large demon that she sensed was coming up. Her hate for Naraku had

grown from this experience so far, she had fire in her eyes showing how much she

wanted to kill Naraku. Although she still held a pinch of loyalty to him for some reason,

but that loyalty was fading fast. As she went along the path, the demons got harder and

harder to defeat. Her wounds had re-opened and she had many more. ' This must be it.

If there are so many demons on the path this must be the one leading to the exit.'

Kagura thought happily. Although it hurt, she ran the rest of the way wanting to get out

of the maze. When she neared the exit, she felt the presence of a powerful demon grow

stronger. When she came to the exit, she saw it, the most massive demon she had ever

seen. It was humongous, covered in white hair, and stood on two legs, the demon had red

eyes that glowed eerily as it found Kagura and started to strike. She dodged it and then

saw that Naraku had his other demons helping this one. The pinch of loyalty disappeared

as she used her fan to slice at the demons side with barely any success. It took a big

clawed hand and smacked her through a tree. Kagura was now covered in dirt and blood.

She hopped on to her feather and flew up toward the things head. She launched Fuujin

no Mai directly at his head and took off a huge chunk. Now blood was pouring out

rapidly as Kagura used her attack again. The blood made a pool on the ground and also

covered her. From one more blow the huge demon collapsed from the blood loss and

died in the pool of blood staining his white fur a dark red. Kagura then destroyed the

other demons in three attacks. As she walked toward the exit Naraku appeared. Her pink

eyes showed fire and pure hatred as Naraku stared at her with an emotionless face.

Kagura was covered in her blood, dirt, and the demons blood. All you could see on her

was red and brown. She walked through the exit and to the hot springs without even

sparing a glance in Naraku's way. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ AN- I tried to make this really long, and I think it is pretty long, thank u for the 3 reviews, even though it wasn't a lot. The reason it took so long for me to update was because I can only get on the computer on Fridays and weekends, sometimes not even then, so my story is going to be slow running0. Thanks for reading though^_^
