I don't own Inu-Yasha

Chapter 10: The Horrible Truth

"I will win this battle!" Kagura said to Kira as she charged at her. Kira pulled out her katana and tried to stab Kagura, but she grab Kira's wrist. "I knew it!" Kagura exclaimed when she saw the mark on Kira's wrist.

"Kagura, what is it?" Kagome asked as she and Inu-Yasha ran to them.

"Kira, I will release you! I will kill you!" Kagura said as she pushed Kira away from her and sent one of her attacks at her.

"Kagura! No! There is another way!" Kanna tried to stop her sister.

"Kanna, what are you doing?" Kagura said when she saw Kanna deflect her attack.

"You do not have to kill her. You are able to free Kira from Naraku's control." Kanna told her.

"How can I free her? Naraku has already taken her." Kagura said.

"What are you talking about, Kagura?" Kagome asked.

"She has Naraku's mark on her wrist. Naraku has taken her as his mate." Kagura told Kagome.

"What!" Kagome couldn't believe it.

"Kagome, maybe it would be best if Kagura killed Kira. No one should live with the knowledge that the same man that killed their family is also the same man she has taken as her husband." Inu-Yasha told her.

"No! Kira cannot be killed!" Kagome said. "Kanna, how do we free Kira?" Kagome asked her.

"Kagura has to key. Only she may free us." Kanna told her.

"Kagura, do you know what she's talking about?" Inu-Yasha asked her.

"Yes. My fan can be used to free them." Kagura told Inu-Yasha

"Well, use your fan." Inu-Yasha told her.

"I cannot."

"Why not?"

"The only way to free them is to kill Naraku." Kagura answered. Everyone grew silent. Either they kill Kira, or they all die.

"Kira, you have to free yourself. I know you can free yourself, if you only try." Kagome stepped towards her.

"I do not wish to be freed. I am Naraku's mate, and I will bare him a child." Kira told Kagome.

"Naraku killed your family! How could you defend him?" Kagura asked her.

"Lies! Naraku did not kill my family!" Kira screamed.

"Kanna, show Kira what you showed me." Kagura ordered her.

Only yards away Naraku sat on a tree branch watching what was taking place. "So Kanna has betrayed me as well?" Naraku smirked. "Then she will die as well." Naraku said as he jumped down from the tree and ran towards Kira.

"Master Naraku." Kira bowed to him as he appeared.

"Naraku!" Inu-Yasha screamed at him.

"Kira, I wish for you to kill Kanna as well. She has decided to betray me so she shall die." Naraku ordered Kira.

"Kohaku! Kill Kanna!" Kira ordered. Kohaku knocked Sango to the ground and charged at Kanna.

"Kanna!" Kagura yelled to her little sister just as a blade went threw her chest.

"Now, kill Kagome!" Kira told Kohaku.

"Stop!" Naraku ordered.

"What is it my lord?" Kira turned and asked him.

"I ordered you to kill Kanna and you disobeyed me." Naraku told her as he stepped towards her.

"I had Kohaku kill Kanna instead of me doing it, what is wrong with that?" Kira asked him.

"Because Kanna was part of me and I feel her pain. Having you kill her will lesson the pain." Naraku told her.

"Kanna was not killed then?" Kira turned and saw Kagura sitting next to Kanna.

"Please don't die." Kagura begged Kanna.

"Kagura, I do not want to die under Naraku's control. Please free me." Kanna begged her sister as the blood soaked her white kimono.

"I will." Kagura said as Kagome bend down next to them.

"I'll take care of her, you go kill Naraku." Kagome told Kagura. Kagura stood up and closed her fan.

"Naraku!" Kagura screamed at him.

"I will take my leave now, Kira, finish them off." Naraku ordered. Sensing Kagura's energy raising, he decided it would be best if he left.

"As you wish, Master Naraku." Kira said as he vanished. Then she turned to Kagura. "We will finish this now. There is no running away this time." Kira told her.

"My fight is not with you." Kagura said as she threw the feather in her hair to the ground and it grew. "Inu-Yasha will fight you though." Kagura smirked as she jumped onto the feather and flew away.

"Kagura!" Kira screamed at them as she threw an energy blast at her. Kagura laughed as she dodged the energy and disappeared into the clouds.

"Kira! You will fight me!" Inu-Yasha said as he stepped forward.

"Ha, do not make me laugh. Kohaku, kill Inu-Yasha." Kira ordered.

"Not so fast!" Sango said as she threw her Hiratsu at him. It hit Kohaku and knocked him back.

"It's just you and me, Kira." Inu-Yasha said.
