Chapter 10: The rainy reunion
The sky became darker and darker as rain-filled clouds hid the sinking sun. Slowly, miniature drops of rain came from them. The sound of the tiny droplets woke up the crying Jacklyn. How could this Naraku be so evil? What does he want so badly that he would kill for it? These thoughts came to her mind as her tears glistened as she continued to whimper. In the other room, she saw two figures; one was Naraku, and the other was a woman. Jacklyn tried to be as silent as possible so she could hear them. It worked; she could hear everything.
"What have you called me here for?" the woman asked.
"I feel the presence of a shard, Kagura. It is close. Go find it, and if the holder is demon, kill it, but if it is human, bring it to me," Naraku demanded. Kagura left and as Naraku opened the door connecting to the room Jacklyn was in, Jacklyn shut her eyes and pretended to still be asleep.
The rain hardened at once and came down like buckets full of water. Out of the gray sky, a white feather floated down and landed near the well. Kagura stepped off the feather. At once, the feather shrunk. She gracefully bent at the knee and scooped her long, slender fingers around the feather and placed it in her raven black hair. Her face was a powdery peach color; a white and red kimono draped to her ankles. In her hand, she held a fan. The same fingers that picked up the feather grasped the fan and opened it in front of her face. Behind the fan, Kagura smirked as she snickered. She watched the well as a still-drunk Will Turner flopped out.
"Hello, madam." He bowed and, being still drunk, fell forward. Kagura walked toward Will and slipped the feather from her hair under his side. At once, the feather grew, and she hopped on. The feather drifted upwards toward the dull sky.
"It was another human, Naraku." Kagura brought in Will and flung him on the ground.
"I wonder if he has any connection with Jacklyn," Naraku said as he opened the door connecting to Jacklyn's room. As soon as Will heard the name Jacklyn, he was sober. He got up off the floor and ran to her. Jacklyn was held in a hug that was so strong, she couldn't breathe.
"Jacklyn, my Jacklyn, you're alright!"
