I seriously don't think we need disclaimers, for the website Url this story is hosted on its in fact, Either way, Inuyasha and company belong to Rumiko Takahashi.

Author's Notes: Okay, here is the second chapter of the contest. I'm sorry about the short-ness of it. Thankyou, My Name Is Yet To Be Found. Banana Rum, I really hope more people join. Would you like me to advertize the contest for you? Anywho, thanx. I'm not sure what she really wears either, thats why I called it a yukata. O.o Fantastical Queen Ebony Black, thankyou! That comment helped alot. I thought deep and I sorta agree. It'd be a lil depressing. I have this concept, that if someoneone knows online dies,one would never know. They'd just vanish, never to update, never to e-mail. And one wouldnever know what happened to him/her for the rest of one's life. And so it'll be itching at the back of one's mind of what happened to that person. They'd never know. That's my concept of it. Zora and Kalliel, it was a typo yet forgotten. The "Tensaiga" thing, I mean.
Kagura woke with a start. She didn't quite recall where she was, or what had happened in the last evening. 'I had run away from that bastard and then…' She thought, 'I came here! This empty mansion.' She remembered and she got up and kicked over the futon. Pulling her under-clothing on over her head, she folded over her futon and blanket and pushed them against the wall, leaving her yukata there. She walked over to the door and paused. 'That's odd…I swear I left the door open…' She thought, and she poked her head out of the doorway, looking both ways. 'Nothing…' Perhaps it was the wind, she thought, but she controls wind. Perhaps there was another wind demon around? Kagura shook her head. Severe case of paranoia…of Naraku.
She shuddered at the thought of him finding her here. Stepping out of the room, she wandered around. She was quite hungry, and food at Naraku's keep was scarce; Kagura tried starving herself to death, but could not die. Wandering downstairs, she walked around the luxury room, and spotted the other set of stairs at the main hallway, near the door. She spotted a doorway near it, and she walked up. 'There must be a freezer in here somewhere…' She thought, and she walked through the doorway into a small opening room, leading to a door. Kagura placed her hand across the door. 'Cold. Like ice.' She thought, and she opened the door. But there was nothing there at all. No frozen flesh of lesser demon, not even a leg of a chicken bird. She searched the whole freezer with her eyes, only to find a small note that said, "Still mending wall." It was signed, but the writing was too faded to make it out.
Kagura turned around, disappointed, and faced several bones spiked onto a white kimono. She looked upward, toward the face of the one who wore it. She was quite surprised and a little startled, and her heart skipped several beats. "I…hehe…" She mumbled.
"What are you doing here?" A cold voice inquired. It was Sesshoumaru of course, but Kagura did not know that. Kagura looked into the tall man's eyes to search for kindness or weakness, but when she could find none behind that cold strict glare, she shudder.
"Its funny…I woke up here and don't know how I got here." She lied. She backed up into the freezer.
"Don't lie to me, female." Sesshoumaru replied coldly. There is something not right about killing this female, thought Sesshoumaru. Never the less, he kept his hand ready on his katana, ready to strike if the threat came. "What are you doing here?" His cold voice repeated.
Kagura lowered her eyes to his arm, spotting that his hand was ready on his katana. 'So he is ready to fight? Then let's fight, bastard!' She thought, but she did no such thing. She just stood there, in fear, although she did not want to show it. "I was just leaving!" She shouted arrogantly, and walked ahead, pushing him out of the way to leave. But he did not budge.
"I can't allow you to leave." He told her coldly.
"Wha?" Kagura murmured in shock. Sesshoumaru grabbed her wrist and started pulling her away from the freezer. "Let me go, you ass!" She shouted, pulling her arm from the man's grasp. But his grip was too strong. "Let me go!"
"As you wish." Sesshoumaru replied, releasing his grasp, causing her to fall.
"How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are!" Kagura shouted at him, sitting on the floor. She stood up and rubbed her back side.
"…" Sesshoumaru said nothing. Instead, he quickly socked Kagura in the face. She fell backward, landing sideways on the floor. "Hmph." Sesshoumaru picked her up, slinging her over his shoulder. 'What an expressive female. I no longer have the will to kill her.' Sesshoumaru thought as he was walking up the stairs, toward "her" bedroom. He kicked the folded futon open and dropped her on it.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! Sesshoumaru-sama!" A small toad-like demon shouted out. He opened the main door with much struggle, and tripped over the doorway. A two headed staff flew out ahead of him. The door behind him shut closed with a big "bam" and smashed his feet in. The small demon rubbed his face. "I have some urgent news of Naraku's location!" He shouted tiredly, scampering up and retrieving his staff.
"Be silent." Sesshoumaru scolded, gliding down the stair railing. "What is it?"
Kagura woke up, hearing murmurs and words. "How…?" She said out loud, but realized what happened soon enough. That bastard, she thought, sitting up and sneaking out of the room on her knees. She looked between the railings at a tall man and a little green toad.
"Naraku is currently near our area. He is searching for his lesser demon sister who has run away. I sense he will be here in 2 weeks…" The little toad demon replied, cringing at the news.
A chill ran down Kagura's spine. She could stay here no longer. Kagura rushed back into her room and pulled her yukata over her head. She scurried down the stairs in effort to escape, causing wind to swirl around her to hide herself.
"Go off, Jaken." Sesshoumaru replied to the little toad.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! Look!" Jaken pointed at the red whoosh scurrying down the stairs. The red blur tried rushing past them, but Sesshoumaru stepped and lifted his claws and arm in its way, slicing it through the blur. The red blur crashed into it; the sound of ripping and loud profanity was heard. The red blur stopped and landed on the floor.
"Leave. Now, Jaken." Sesshoumaru ordered, and Jaken scurried off. Sesshoumaru looked down at the young female demon, who was looking at her yukata, around her in shreds. She rubbed her cheek, which was also clawed, and bleeding.
"I have to get out of here!" Kagura shouted at him. "Naraku is after me! I'm his incarnation, his sister!"
"I know you are his incarnation. But you aren't going anywhere." He replied coldly.
"You can't keep me here! Naraku will kill you!" Kagura shouted. She hated using Naraku as a threat for her protection, but she had to get away.
Sesshoumaru sniggered at her comment. "Naraku is a coward. He will never overcome my power." Sesshoumaru added. He looked away at that. "Naraku is nothing to be afraid of." He added.
"What?" Kagura shouted. Her facial expression changed from worried to shocked and surprised. Sesshoumaru turned around and locked his lips onto hers. Kagura's eyes popped open in anger, and Sesshoumaru's was staring right into hers.
"What the he-" Kagura started to shout, pushing him away, but before she could finish Sesshoumaru hit her on the head and knocked her out.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken said in astonishment. He was standing behind him and saw the whole thing. "Who was that girl? Was she that female Naraku was searching for? His sister?" Jaken asked. He was as lost minded as a wandering human in the forest.
"You will silence." Sesshoumaru ordered the little frog. "Where is my half brother located?" He asked.
"Inuyasha is located at the village of the dead in the western province." Jaken said quickly and nervously. "I believe he is on the way to this mansion. Maybe he'll be here…in 2 weeks?" He added, knowing the news would anger Sesshoumaru. But Sesshoumaru gave him no evil glare, or smack him in the head. Instead, he replied. "Good."
