But they messed with the wrong koneko this time!! I will burn the school to the ground!! Mwhahahaha!! Errr, does anyone have any matches around here??!! clears throatOops, I kinda got carried away, gomen. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it. I mean the fanfics, not the burn-the-school-to-the-ground-action. (Don't take me serious about that. I was just fooling around ) By the way: Don't forget to review!!!

Chapter 2


"Whaaaat! All that happened while I was away!!" Jaken looked struck with horror at Rin, who just finished updating Jaken about the latest events he missed while he was away. "Sesshoumaru-sama revived Kagura with the Tenseiga?! This couldn't have happened!! Why wasn't I there to give him my humble advice? Anyway, do you have any more specific details? Maybe a clue why Sesshoumaru-sama revived that Kagura-bitch?"

"Hai!!" Rin answered happily. (Ignoring completely what Jaken said about Kagura) "Eh, let's see, Sesshoumaru-sama looked a bit concerned about Kagura. And a little bit sad too, when she died in his arms." (Jaken's expression changed to pure horror and surprise, because he couldn't imagine Kagura in Sesshoumaru's arms.) "And Rin thinks she saw Kagura blushing!"

"Who, Kagura? She...blushing??!" Jaken asked confused.

"Hai" was the little girl's answer.

"Rin, don't tell me you're still thinking that Kagura actually likes Sesshoumaru."

"No, Rin doesn't think that anymore" Rin said with a smile.

"Good", Jaken said relieved that Rin had finally gotten that theory out of her head.

"Rin doesn't think that, Rin knows that" Rin continued. "And Rin thinks Sesshoumaru-sama's in love with Kagura t—" Jaken quickly covered her mound, and looked at Sesshoumaru, and was relieved to see he was standing out of earshot.

"Quiet!!" he hissed. "If Sesshoumaru-sama hears you talking about that he'll..."

Kagura sat in the grass looking at the sky. She sighed. Some time ago she had looked at the sky and wished to be free, now she was free, looking at the same sky, yet she felt hollow inside and couldn't explain why. She hated when that happened. There were so many unexplainable feelings; she wondered how she actually could keep on with that. But deep inside she had the feeling Sesshoumaru might had something to do with that. Each encounter with him was the same. She had concluded it was because she was a bit happy and relieved she finally had found someone with the ability of destroying Naraku and setting her free. But now, Naraku is destroyed and her feelings about him had remained the same.

"Hmpf, I don't get it. Why am I even thinking about him?! I've got better things to do than having him in my thoughts."she thought as the image of Sesshoumaru kept haunting her thoughts. "And I still don't understand why I felt so weird the moment after he revived me. Those feelings are so pathetic."

"You think so?" a voice in her head answered.

"Who the hell are you?!" Kagura thought

"Why I'm your subconscious of course!!" The voice replied. "Nothing in your head is hidden to me. And I see you often think about him."

"Out of my head, you bitch! My thoughts are mine alone and I don't rely on anyone or anything to fix my problems for me!" Kagura mentally answered.

"You're calling me a bitch? For you information, I am your subconscious, so I am you!! Ha ha, you're actually insulting yourself, you know!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET ME THINK QUIETLY OR ELSE!!" Kagura suddenly realize she had screamed, really screamed and had not mentally thought her last sentence. She looked quickly around, hoping that no youkai had heard her, or else they might thought she was mentally disturbed or something.

"OK, if you say so. But I think you've got to see Sesshoumaru one more time to sort out exactly what you're feeling. We'll meet soon!" and her subconscious "left".

Kagura sighed. To see Sesshoumaru one more time? She shook her head. No, she had no reason to see him now that she was free. But still, deep inside she was longing to see him again one more time...

Jaken grumbled. Why did Sesshoumaru left him with Rin every single time he had to take care of some business? It was just not fair. He had always been allowed to go with Sesshoumaru if he had to go somewhere. But now, with Rin around he had to play the role as babysitter. Why did Sesshoumaru have to pick a little human girl as one if his companions?

"Jaken-sama, can you go with Rin to get some food? Rin is hungry again."

Jaken looked at Rin. Right now he very moody because Sesshoumaru had revived Kagura and he wasn't around to prevent that, and also because Sesshoumaru had left him, again, to take care of Rin.

"NO, go with Ah-Un and stop bothering me!"

But Sesshoumaru-sama said you had to go with Rin." "I don't care just...just go." Rin gave Jaken an odd look; he was actually disobeying Sesshoumaru's orders. (The toad hadn't realized that yet)

"Ah-Un, let's go." she said.

Jaken watched her go with the two-headed youkai. He turned around facing the (camp)fire. If he hadn't, he would have seen a shadow stalking Rin. Suddenly he realized what he had done. Even if Rin could be annoying sometimes, he had to take care of her, or Sesshoumaru was going to kill him.

"What have I done? If something bad happens to Rin, something worse is going to happen to me if Sesshoumaru-sama finds out!"

He quickly stood up, turned around and was about to run in the direction Rin just went, when suddenly...

"AAAAAAH!! JAKEN-SAMA, HELP!!!" Jaken froze. It was Rin who was crying out for help. He had to do something to help her.

"RIN!!!" he ran towards the place Rin had gone. When he arrived there, Rin was in the claws of a huge winged youkai that looked like a huge, evil bat. Ah-Un was lying against a tree; probably knock out, because of his attempt to save Rin.

"Let her go, you winged freak!!" Jaken shrieked.

"Jaken-sama, you came to rescue Rin!! Rin did not know Jaken-sama was so brave!" Rin exclaimed in admiration.

But the truth was Jaken was trembling to his feet, hoping he was coming alive from rescuing Rin.

"Hahaha, you, a repugnant little creature, have come to save a human being?! That's ridiculous! She's going to be my dinner and you're not going to stop me!!"

He flapped his wings very hard, so very strong winds started coming from them, causing Jaken to fly a couple of meters away, against a tree, not so far away from Ah-Un.

"Rin did not know Jaken-sama could fly either." Rin remarked. "Be quiet human, we're going somewhere more peaceful so I can eat you with no interference. Let's go!!"

After that, the youkai took off. "RIN!!!" Jaken screamed trying to prevent the youkai taking her, but it was too late. The only thing he could hear was a vague "Jaken-sama!!" and the youkai flapping away, each time further.

Kagura was looking at the moon, wondering where Sesshoumaru was. She proposed herself to go see him tomorrow, but she had to make up a good excuse. Than she could sort out those annoying feelings, and be able to go her own way without thinking about anyone. The problem was she couldn't think of any reasonable excuse. Suddenly she heard a flapping noise, coming closer and landing, not so far where she was. Then she heard weird noises. She decided to go and take a look. As she was walking towards the place, the noises grew each time clearer, turning into a certain dialogue. Hiding from behind a tree, she saw, a very big, winged youkai. He was with his back to her. Suddenly she heard a familiar voice;

"Please, don't eat Rin. Rin is begging you!"

It was that human girl Sesshoumaru was keeping as a companion! The youkai was going to eat her...but where was Sesshoumaru? At these moments he was suppose to come to save her. Then a horrible thought struck her; what if he didn't know what was happening? What if he was somewhere else?? Kagura hesitated. What was she going to do? She was the only at the moment, who could do something about the situation. But it wasn't her habit walking around and saving humans. Besides, if she didn't give a damn about them, why would she now? But, on the other hand, saving that child would be a good reason to see Sesshoumaru again. It was a good chance. She had to think fast, before she had no choice left. It was either saving her, or letting her die... But what was that choice going to be??!

End chapter 2

I hope it wasn't too short; I was planning to make it longer but I changed my mind on the way. It would be more exciting to stop it here. I'll try to update as soon as possible!!
