"Old Memories, New Faces"
Yura was sitting in a tree looking at a large pile of hair and skulls
longingly, wondering how long it will be till her collection is fully
restored. It has been three months since she was brought back by Naraku.
She was forced to obey him and went on two missions for him before
eventually escaping with her freedom.
Yura has been constantly bothered with the memories of the day she died. It was the memories of that odd girl stabbing at her red skull with an arrow, eventually piercing through the skull and breaking her comb. Yura winced. Her list of things to do was growing steadily.
Get that wonderful silver hair, revenge that odd girl, and to show that arrogant Kagura true power. She was beginning to wonder if she was just talk. Yura pulled out of her pocket 3 shards of the Shikon no Tama. Yura had gained these from killing various demons in the area over the last month.
"Eventually I'll have to fight Naraku again if I hope to rebuild the jewel," Yura said to herself. Normally she talked to her red skull but it is broken and she dare not try to retrieve it since it would take her close to Inuyasha. She learned from her dealing with Koga that Inuyasha now has a magical sword. She also has been hearing the rumors and stories going around. She apparently only saw the gist of his abilities at the battle on Koga's mountain.
"I will meet up with him after I'm done collecting enough jewel shards," Yura said to herself. Suddenly she heard the sounds of voices in the distance. Travel often came through the forest since the nearby village was almost surrounded entirely by it.
She saw that it was just a couple of travelers. She then walked out into the middle of the trail.
"Hey? Who are you?" said one of the two.
"Yeah, we haven't ever seen you before," said the other with a puzzled look on his face.
Yura chuckled softly. She then said "I'm called Yura of the demon- hair," In the next instant their heads were sliced off by the web of hair she had going through forest. "Not that you needed to know."
Outside Naraku's fortress, there was a new person sitting by the door, looking at the stars. Kagura then came outside.
"So Jecht, you're the new 'undefeatable reincarnation' of Naraku," Kagura said looking down at what appeared to be a young man sitting there. He appeared human except that his eyes were red. He had short brown hair in a typical top knot. He had a normal black kimono on. At first glance, most would think him human.
"What of it? Are you jealous?" he said with a sneer as he stood up.
"Don't be foolish! Newer doesn't mean better. The last three incarnations have all been killed while Kana and I are the ones who are still alive," Kagura replied.
"Yeah, lots of good you two have been, Kana has absolutely no purpose any more," Jecht replied calmly.
"You have no idea who you are dealing with here," Kagura said angrily.
"Oh is some one upset, HA! You couldn't even kill that demon, Yura. The descriptions of her just give me the chills," Jecht said sarcastically, "Why don't you go do your hair or whatever it is that you do around here."
"While I've never!" Kagura replied as she started to storm away. She looked back and said, "By the way Naraku wishes to speak to you."
"When will the Ramen be done? I'm starv'n," Inuyasha asked Kagome.
"Yeah, when will the soup be done?" piped in Shippo.
"Not for a while now," Kagome responded irritably, "It seems that all you people want from me is to either cook or be a jewel detector!" Miroku then walked up to the campfire. It was a somewhat cold night.
"Hey Kagome –," Miroku started to say.
"Not you too!" Kagome snapped, "Just wait a while and the Ramen will be done"
After Miroku regained his composure from the onslaught Miroku then nervously said "I, I wasn't going to ask that. I was just going to tell you to not be so hard on them." Miroku then breathed in deeply and continued "We have been traveling for three days. We all need to relax. Isn't that right Sango? Sango?" Miroku started looking in every direction. "Um, Where is Sango?"
"We thought she was with you," Inuyasha replied.
"Yeah, but at one point she got... upset and decided to head back," Miroku said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Upset?" Shippo asked curiously, "Why would she be upset?"
"Oh boy, what did you do?" Kagome asked in a low tone.
"NOTHING! Well maybe I did," Miroku said nervously, "I didn't know she would react like that."
"You are such an idiot," Inuyasha said as he got up, "I'll go find her. You guys stay here."
"Seeya!" Shippo said as Inuyasha walked off.
Meanwhile at Naraku's fortress, Jecht entered the room to speak with Naraku. "Jecht?" Naraku said.
"Yes master," Jecht responded, "What did you want me for?"
"It is time that you go and pay Inuyasha a visit," Naraku answered quietly, "but don't destroy him yet. Just establish your presence."
"Understood, but why not destroy them?" Jecht asked. "I could easily do so," Jecht added as the fingers on his right hand became longer and flatter till they took the shape knives.
"Inuyasha somehow has always a few surprises in store," Naraku said to Jecht, "And please don't question me again"
"Yes my lord," Jecht said as he turned around. As he left the room he had the look of complete frustration on his face.
"Oh my! What do we have here?" Yura asked herself as she looked from the top of a tree. It was just morning and she had pulled in hairs that she sent out of the woods as a way to alert herself of new travelers. One of the hairs had become tangled up with a long strand of silver hair. "Oh this can't be!" Yura said to herself as she held the hair in her hand. "I wasn't planning on meeting them for a long time."
Yura lowered herself from the tree which she was lying on. "I guess I should look at this as a blessing," Yura said to herself as a grin formed on her face, "That girl will be with him. This could be a wonderful chance to sneak up and rid myself of her once and for all!"
Yura then held out her hands and sent the hairs out to find Kagome. "Oh where are you?" Yura muttered to herself.
Yura has been constantly bothered with the memories of the day she died. It was the memories of that odd girl stabbing at her red skull with an arrow, eventually piercing through the skull and breaking her comb. Yura winced. Her list of things to do was growing steadily.
