Chapter 3: Just Trapped
Princess Sango
Naraku has been angry for almost a week now. Kagura and I get bruises, cuts, scrapes, and broken bones. Sure I'm used to it, but Kagura isn't. She's been lying in my room. She'll whimper at night and cry out. Then Naraku will inflict more damage. I tended to her wounds tenderly. She never thanked me, but I felt her eyes always on me. Kagura and I are trapped like birds. We can't leave the castle, not even to go outside. I'd tell her stories from my past, sometimes she'd ask questions.
"Kohaku, do you remember your old memories?"
I nodded slowly, "Of course I do. I must never forget them, so Sango and I could try to rebuild." I started placing herb cream on Kagura's chest wound.
She didn't whimper, though I knew it hurt. "How did you get those herbs...and water?"
"I took from a herb garden and gathered water, also wood, rocks, and berries. These should be healed fast." I said indicating to her chest wound.
Kagura stayed quiet the rest of the time until, "Kohaku, do you think that I could escape with you?"
I nodded unsurely, "Maybe I'm not sure." Kagura nodded, then closed her eyes and fell asleep. I wrapped her chest with bandages that I had cleaned. I was super careful when I pulled her kimono over the wound.
The quilt I was given as a present from Kagome went over her. I was constructing a silk blanket so we wouldn't have to share. The other blanket was ¾ of the way finished. The colors were red and blue. I started weaving the blanket, it shouldn't be long now. I smashed the blueberries onto the silk. I took out the thread and continued.
The ending would be blue, since red was finished, he had some rasberries left. After ten minutes I had finished. A smile graced my lips, I had accomplished something on my own in this trapped hell!
