Summery: Kouga actually follows Kagura without her knowing. Then they actually get to have a little talk. Not out of anger.... but... something else. This chapter is more about Kouga seeing Kagura... she's not quite involved until later. He judges her by her daily tasks.

The tortured soul Kouga was spying on her for days now. Each time he seen her fly off into the sky thats when he'd follow again. For some reason.... she didn't look as cruel and evil when she came into contact with someone. The look on her face was painful, he began to feel pity for the wind witch.

"Bah! What's wrong with you? Did you forgot what that... witch did to your clan?!" He mumbled to himself furiously. "You're the victim, not that heartless bitch."

Kouga then brought his eyes up to her, no matter how angry he made himself. He couldn't deny himself inside that he did feel sorrow for her.
Kagura felt as if someone was watching. Every few minutes she'd look into the sky to see if anymore of those insects were around. "I-I'm just being paranoid.." Whispers under her breathe as she went back to scanning the ground below her.

He continued running as he watched her soar through the sky. Why was she looking back so often? Did she know he was right on her tail? Kouga had countless questions that couldn't be answered. Then something caught his eye, she was lowering herself to the ground, "Shit."Kouga quickened his speed as his nose led him to where she was.

Slowly Kagura looked around for something.... anything. But found nothing at all except for the silent trees swaying as the gentle breeze brushed across it.

Kouga had a clear view of his enemy now he watched while she went closer to a spring. He tilted his head as he realized something. He smelled blood.... he sniffed the air again to make sure. It was blood alright, her blood. What the hell was going on? The scent stayed in his nose as he looked to her back. "Where is it coming from..?" He felt himself carelessly draw closer to her.

The sorceress winced and groaned in pain as she tugged at her kimono. "Damn it Naraku..... I hate you." A tear strolled down her cheek as she groaned more.

He stopped dead in his tracks as he heard the painful words. Naraku's servant.... hates him? He grew confused as he considered walking straight up to her and ask what in the hell is going on. But he resisted as her top slid from her shoulders. Nothing was revealed to him except the huge spider scar on her back and quite a few new scars. They looked like they came from a whip... or a vine.

Kagura's back was red, some of the blood was dried and stuck to her flesh. He turned around and rested his back against a tree. "What am I doing here still?" Kouga felt like kicking himself for even being there at this moment. He turned his head slightly as he heard water splash and Kagura's cursing as got in. Shaking his head some he peeked out to see what she was doing.
She just sat there as the water soaked into her skin. "I can't take this anymore.... he needs to be gone. I want to be free of him already." Her head lowered as she shut her eyes while sighing.

Kouga still couldn't believe what he was hearing. This.... wind witch actually has some feelings in that dark heart of hers. He was there to witness it, he still felt like marching up to her face and talking to her. But she was in pain, she was helpless. Kouga felt himself lower to the ground and look around, as if protecting her. He stood his grounds, Kagura was completely vulnerable to any attacks to her.

The wolf demon kept repeating to himself that it was only so that he could kill her. No one could still that revenge he longed for... to steal it from him. Water splashed again he felt like turning around but didn't. He didn't want to see her... like that. He waited quietly as he listened then all of a sudden silence appeared. Kouga turned around and peeked around the tree as he got to his feet. "Damn it... I lost her...!" He growled as he clenched his fists. A couple of fingers tapped his shoulder, he froze as he sniffed and caught the scent. She caught him redhanded as he was spying on her.

Kagura waited for him to face her completely. "Well... well... what are you doing here wolf boy? Came to get my head did you?" He turned around and watched her arms cross in front of her chest.

"Not quite.... I was... but until I heard you say that you hated your master..." He noticed the expression on her face, she was pissed off. "I saw the whole thing Kagura.... even those marks on your back. I the smell of your blood still taunts my nose." Then he noticed she actaully called him by his name, "Oh are you going to call me Kouga now instead of wolf boy?"

He laughed a bit as he shaked his head. "Poor poor Kagura, so much evil in you yet you're turtured more then anyone else. I won't take you're life now... that will be saved for later." He turned around shaking his head still. Kagura turned quickly, she was angry at the truth he told her. She put her hands in front of him then shoved him. "Don't pretend like you know who I am!"
