Chapter 4 Naraku's scheme

In the deep mountain to the east laid an old mansion, surrounded in a thick fog of miasma. Although, if you look at it closely it looks almost abandon, as if no one had lived there in years.

"Naraku!" Called the wind demon. Kagura. She walked through the long halls before coming to a room. The room was nearly empty except for a man sitting in the center. Kagome entered with no hesitation.

"Kagura, was that demon defeated?" Inquired Naraku, not even turning around to look at her.

Kagura nodded, bring her fan up to her cheek. "Yes, but I do not understand on thing Naraku."

"Oh, and what is that?" Naraku smirked, finally turning to his creation.

"How was that demon able to block the miko's arrow? It couldn't have been the jewel shards!"

"Because the shards are an illusion, they're just dirt." He smirked even more.

"What?! How can that be?" Kagura stared at him in total shock.

"So, you didn't sense it?" Naraku raised a brow.

Kagura blinked in confusion. "Sense what? There was nothing else there!" She exclaimed, now frustrated.

"Then my creation is working." Naraku smirked from ear to ear, slowly turning back to his window.

"Naraku, explain yourself!" Yelled Kagura as she whipped her fan down, opening the fan.

"It's rather simple," Naraku said while standing up with his back still to her. "I created it as I did you."

Kagura frowned, hating to be reminded of how she was trapped by him. "But what does this have to do with the demon being able to block that girl's arrow?" She asked, closing her fan. She knew that he could kill her if she wanted to strike. Naraku had her heart and he would not hesitate to use that against her.

Naraku turned half way to her. "I call it Muffa. He is a small creature that attaches one self to it's target and slowly starts to drain their power. He is nearly invisible to anyone sights." He explained.

"Nearly?" She raised a brow.

Naraku nodded, turning back to the window. "Once Muffa has stolen enough power to make her weak, he will start showing but only to the one who ...... her...." He mumbled.

Kagura blinked. "What? Only the one who what her?"

Naraku narrowed his eyes. "Only the one who loves her." He said, only a little louder.

Kagura heard him but decided to toy with him a little longer. "What? I still can't hear you!" She smirked.

Naraku turned to face her. "You know, I have your heart and I can kill you whenever I want." He said in an annoyed voice.

Kagura nodded sadly and bowed in respect. "I am sorry, M'lord." She looked up, glaring at him.

Naraku once again turned his back to her, but this time in disgust. "Now leave." He commanded.

"Yes, M'lord." Kagura growled, turning and leaving him. She clenched her fist, trying to keep herself from killing him.

Naraku smirked to himself. "Now, for another test.... Numada, come to me." Beckoned Naraku.

Red eyes glowed form a dark corner. "Yes M'lord?" A harsh, low voice replied.

"Go forth and kill that hanyou and his woman."

"Yes M'lord." The red eyes disappeared, and then there was nothing.

Naraku grinned. "My plan is going perfectly."
