Quick note!! This chapter will have some of Sesshoumaru's thoughts and feelings in it!! Anything written as you see is speaking and/or normally thought.  Anything in Italics is his conscience!!


~*~ Sesshoumaru's mind~*~

            She should be back by now...

            You should go after her.

            ..She is fine on her own. I don't care anyway....

            Liar. You're worried about her. I can tell. It's all over you.

             Shut up.....I don't CARE....

            Yes you do. Stop denying it. Admit it.

            ......

            Say it. You know that it is true.

            .....Alright.......

            Alright, WHAT?

            ...I....I love....

            Yes?

            ..........

            If it wasn't true, than why do you keep her around? Why does your heart race whenever you see her? Why do you wish to set her free?! Why did you not kill her when she embraced you that night?! Why, why WHY?!

            FINE!!! SO I WANT TO SET HER FREE!! SO I SPARED HER LIFE!!! SO I EMBRACED HER BACK!! DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?! DO YOU TRULY WISH TO KNOW WHY?!?!

            YES!!! SAY IT!!!

            FINE!!! I LOVE HER!! I LOVE KAGURA!!! I LOVE HER!!!!!

            Sesshoumaru sighed worriedly as he watched a shooting star dance across the sky. It had been almost an hour since Kagura had left. Normally, he wouldn't have worried. But he had suddenly gotten a BAD feeling that made him shudder. He didn't know why but he felt as if something had happened to Kagura. Something sinister and horrible. But he tried to forget it and enjoy his time alone for the moment. But the feeling kept nagging and wouldn't go away, no matter how hard he tried to keep it from his mind.

            The wind suddenly shifted and wrapped around Sesshoumaru. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then it hit him: Naraku's scent. The TRUE Naraku's scent. And too close for comfort. He tensed up, growling softly. He put his hand on the hilt of the Tokijin and stood up straight.

            "Naraku!!" He called, his sharp and golden eyes searching. "Show yourself!!!" And unearthly silence suddenly swept into the forest.

            "Lord Sesshoumaru...." A cold voice called from above. The demon lord was instantly on high alert, his body tight and tense, ready to spring at anything that moved.

            "What do you want, hanyou?!" Sesshoumaru snapped viciously. He did NOT need this right now.

            "Why such harsh words, Sesshoumaru? Are we not allies?" Naraku said maliciously, from wherever he was hiding. He got a snarl in response. "Well then. I guess we are not."

            "I said what are you here for?!"

            "I know what you have been doing. And I know about Kagura. How you promised to kill me to set her free. How she follows you around like a love-sick puppy. And how she has feelings for you. And you for her." Silence. "....I see.... You do not deny it. What a pity. It would be best if you had no feelings for her at all."

            Sesshoumaru's eyes got wide as that bad feeling swept over him again. "Naraku...If you did anything to her..." He said through bared fangs. He heard Naraku's cruel laugh and bristled.

            "You are already too late, Lord Sesshoumaru. As we speak, Kagura is most likely already dead. And if she is not.....well let us just say her time with a body of her own is almost up. She is MINE, Sesshoumaru. I created her and I can destroy her. Her life is in my hands. There is NOTHING you can do about it," Naraku said, his words dripping with venom and hatred. The wind suddenly blew hard and swirled around him. Sesshoumaru covered his mouth so he wouldn't suck in the poison miasma. He saw Naraku fly up into the air and hissed with hatred.

            "Remember my words, Lord Sesshoumaru.....She will never be yours...." Naraku's voice echoed around him before disappearing. Sesshoumaru was still for a few minutes before hanging his head. He knew it. He knew something was wrong. He had known it.

            A furious rage suddenly coursed through him as he bared his fangs and clenched his fist. He hadn't felt so angry ever since Rin had been kidnapped and almost killed. His felt his blood boil and his eyes constrict and turn red. No. He wouldn't let Kagura die. He wouldn't let Naraku reabsorb her. No. He was tired of losing things he cared for. He wouldn't let it happen again.

            He unsheathed the tensiega and looked at it. "...You have yet to fail me...Tenseiga...." He said softly. "...So don't when I need you the most...." The Sword of Healing started to glow softly as he out it back into its sheath. He started to run as fast as he could through the forest before coming to a cliff. Effortlessly, he jumped it and soared into the sky.

            ".....Kagura..... Just hang on..... a little longer......I'm coming...."
