The Confrontation
Chapter Fourteen
There was a loud knock on the window. Sesshomaru immediately woke up. There was a woman sitting on a feather outside. She was obviously a wind demon. She had black hair and red eyes. Sesshomaru growled it was late at night, then he smelt something. She reeks of Naraku.
"Please, Sesshomaru, calm yourself. I do not come here to harm you. I simply wish to settle a deal with you."
Immediately Sesshomaru relaxed into his cold demeanor. So this woman wanted to make a deal. We shall see about that.
"What is your name and of what deal do you want?"
"My name is Kagura; I am an incarnation of Naraku. I wish to see that man dead and for me to be freed. I was hoping that you could perhaps slay Naraku."
"How do I that you are not just trying to deceive me?"
"Just because I am an incarnation of Naraku, does not mean that I approve and follow everything he does. We have our own minds too you know. Besides I have some very useful information that I think you shall find useful."
"Like..................?"
"Naraku is a hanyou. He absorbs other humans and demons. "
"What would we get if we slay Naraku and gain your freedom?"
"You will save that girl over there." She said pointing at Kagome. 'I don't want to get more involved that she already is. But what if Kagura is just lying, besides, knowing Kagome, she will not just sit around and do nothing.' At that moment Kagome woke up. She looked at Kagura then Sesshomaru. She remembered Kagura and knew that she meant no harm.
"Hello Kagura."
"Hello Kagome."
'Why isn't she scared of Kagura?' Kagome actually seemed pretty friendly towards Kagura. It also seemed like Kagura looked more at ease with Kagome awake. However, Sesshomaru does not like to be left in the shadow. The two girls were now in a conversation.
"Kagome how do you know Kagura?"
"She talked to me when I was with Naraku. You can trust her."
"Fine."
Sesshomaru stared at Kagome. Even when she was in danger, she would manage and put on a smile. It was amazing for him to see. It seemed so fake and on other days it seemed so real. It was like his mask. It hid all the real emotions. It was funny. He was supposing that now he would have to help Kagura obtain her freedom. He sighed. The girls had resumed their conversation. He looked at Kagura. When she first arrived she seemed tense and cold, but now as she is talking to Kagome, she seemed to even smile. Kagome has that kind of effect around people.
'Kagome, I don't know how you can always be so pure.' Kagome stopped her conversation and stared at him. Almost like she heard his thoughts, she smiled at him. It was one of her pure smiles not a fake one. It made his heart fill with warmth. He returned with a smile of his own.
"Kagome I must go now."
"Why?"
"Naraku might suspect if I stay away to long."
"Very well, be careful Kagura."
"I shall, farewell. Oh wait!"
"What is it?"
"Kagome I don't know what you shall say to this but, Naraku, he has revived Kikyo into a clay body."
Kagome looked at her in shock. It couldn't be true could it? 'Why would he do that?' She snapped her head back up. She must ask Kagura this question.
"What do they intend to do?"
"Tomorrow, at dusk, Kikyo plans to take Kagome to Naraku. She then believes that she will be able to obtain Sesshomaru."
"Thank you for telling us this Kagura, you are a great friend."
"Your welcome. Farewell."
She bowed and pulled her feather out of her hair and flew away. 'Kagome, she makes me feel happiness. She fills me with this warmth. It this how it feels to have friends?' She shook her head and regained her composure as she reentered the castle. She crept back into her room and quickly fell asleep.
Sesshomaru took the liberty to awaken every one of Kagome's friends. He announced what Kagura had just told him and Kagome. Everyone nodded in approval and all went back to sleep. He went back to his room. Kagome was sitting on the bed her hair covered her shoulders. She was smiling. Sesshomaru walked over to Kagome. He told her that she should get some sleep for tomorrow. She nodded and told him the same.
That night in the castle, a demon and a miko lay in a lover's embrace. A hanyou hugged his sword to sleep. A kitsune and a neko lay next to each other seeking warmth. A taijiya laid thinking about a certain monk in the room beside her. A monk laid thinking about a certain taijiya who he had come to love in the room beside him. It was fairly peaceful.
In another castle within the summits of the woods, a hanyou sleeps with a dagger in his hand. An undead miko slept up in a tree surrounded by her shikigami. In another room a "little" demoness lay with no expression on her face. Then in another room, another demon lay dreaming about freedom.
IMPORTANT FOR FLAMERS
I think I had enough crap for one day. Let's just get this straight, this is an AU. If you don't like it, then why did you bother to read it past the 1st chapter??? Because if you haven't noticed, I made them OOC! If you don't understand it go ask someone who cares. You guys flame me and complain about the length, characters, plot, I don't care. There are plenty who like the story how I write it. FanFICTION. Get that straight! If you have a problem with my writing, then don't read it! It is as simple as that because I don't really give a crap. And if you do decide to flame me please do it politely then I will listen but I really don't want to listen to some arrogant jerk.
IMPORTANT FOR REVIEWERS
