Rated PG13
Disclaimer: Sigh... I don't own InuYasha, I really don't. Putting disclaimers annoy me sometimes but I know we have to do them so...
Tasa: I will like to thank all the people who read my story and review it. It lets me know that my story doesn't suck that much.. I also haven't updated in awhile and I'm very sorry about that. The problem is that I don't have internet at my house so the only time I can post fics is at my dad's or my cousins.
The morning sun rose above the trees, lighting up the land. A castle on the land, however, remained darken and shadowed; Naraku's Castle. The castle was as usual, sealed within the purple barrier.
Naraku sat in his corner, looking down at nothing. Kanna walked in silently, not saying a word. "Kanna... " Kanna nods.
"Kagura... is not here." Kanna whispered. Naraku smirked.
"So she left once again?...Keh." he said. Kanna does nothing. "She does not care does she? Kagura does not understand that she is not supposed to leave this castle unless I order her to...She will just have to learn." Kanna looks at Naraku expressionless then down at her mirror.
Dear sister...you have gotten yourself in trouble. What...Why, why do you... go see him? I do not understand. Is he that important...to you?' Kanna looks in her mirror to see Kagura's reflection.
Sesshoumaru and his company' had settled somewhere once again. Rin was running circles around Jaken, over and over again, trying to get him to play with her. Sesshoumaru was leaning against a tree, deep in thought. He was thinking about Kagura.
Kagura...She has asked me many times to help her defeat Naraku...but I have turned her down each time... She also wants my attention-is this why she only asks me for help? Kagura will come... I will question her intentions then...' He looks over at Rin and Jaken.
"Jaken-sama, onegai!" Rin pleaded, pulling on the toad's sleeve. "Please play with me!"
"You pest-let go!" Jaken yelled at her. "Sesshoumaru-sama!" Sesshoumaru smirks then looks away, ignoring Jaken. He looks to his left as he smells a familiar scent coming his way.
"Kagura?..."
Kagura was lying down on her feather flying towards where she suspected Sesshoumaru to be. Naraku is going to punish me. Will he kill me?... Sesshoumaru... Why do you wish for me to meet with you? Usually I just go looking for you and... Does he know my feelings towards him?... Did he hear what I accidentally said to the girl? If he did- how would he respond?... Why does this matter to me? What feelings am I-... Sesshoumaru is up ahead. Is he waiting' for me?' Kagura sits up and looks down towards the clearing. She quickly but silently lands in the tree that Sesshoumaru was under. Sitting down on a branch, she looks down at him.Sesshoumaru...'
It seems that he does not notice her, neither does Rin or Jaken. She watches the little girl grab the toad's staff with two heads (A/N: what is the name of that thing?)and run off with it.
"Rin, you brat! Give it back!" Jaken chases after the human girl, angrily. He stops running, out of breath, and turns towards Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru-sama! Tell that child-oh?" Jaken stops speaking and sniffs the air. "Sesshoumaru-sama, there's-"
"Yes, I know Jaken. There is no need to tell me." Sesshoumaru answered. He looks up directly at the puzzled Kagura, smirking. Kagura freezes, surprised, and unsure of what to do. She decides to speak.
"Sesshoumaru...I-um..."she stops, then looks over at Jaken and Rin. Sesshoumaru does also.
"Jaken," Sesshoumaru said," take Rin somewhere else and watch her."Jaken looks at him confused.
"...But Sesshoumaru-sama, to leave you with this shrew..." Jaken shouted. Kagura frowned.
"Shrew? Listen toad, before you start calling people names..." She opens her fan. "I could kill you right now, but-I would be wasting my energy on a weakling like you." She smiles and closes her fan.
"Why you stupid-"
"Enough Jaken." Sesshoumaru interrupted. "I asked you and Rin to leave. I thought you would obey."
"Wha?...Oh, yes my lord! I will take her away immediately, but..."
"Do as you are told now Jaken," Sesshoumaru said sternly. Without hesitation Jaken was off to go with Rin but to his surprise Rin had already left. Jaken sighed and realized that he would have to go find her.
Sesshoumaru looks up at Kagura who wasn't paying him any mind. When she realized that his gaze was upon her she looked down, blushing. She hides it as quickly as possible. There is silence between the two. Kagura sighs, then decides that she would be the first to speak.
"The little girl probably went to find Kohaku," she said to Sesshoumaru.
"Kohaku?" he asked, having no idea of who he was.
"The demon exterminator who travels with InuYasha's little brother. He is probably around Rin's age... Naraku had erased his memories and forced him to work for him. Kohaku's recently regained his memories and he is planning to escape. So am I...-Um, I mean..." Kagura stopped talking, realizing that she had said too much.
"Planning to escape? What do you mean Kagura?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I have told you before."
" You seem to only tell me half of it." he replies, turning away.
"And what do you mean by that!" she yelled, sudden anger spurring from nowhere."...Why did you tell Rin and Jaken to leave anyway?" She wanted answers from the dog demon. Sesshoumaru looked up at her once again.
"Did you wish for them to hear our conversation? I thought you only wanted to speak to me." Sesshoumaru said.
"...I..." Kagura blushes once more, this time unable to hide it. She takes in a deep breath then calms down a little. "Why-...Why did you tell me to come here anyway?"
"I overheard your conversation with Rin, or part of it at least. I thought you wanted to know." Sesshoumaru explained. "I would like to know what you meant Kagura." Kagura takes this as a shock.
He overheard the conversation, yet...he does not understand what I meant? Is he a fool?' She looks away and closes her eyes. Why does he not understand?...'
"Kagura?" the dog demon broke her thoughts by calling her name. Kagura jumps down from the tree and glares at him.
"If you don't know then figure it out!" she spat at him rudely. Sesshoumaru glared at her. He didn't understand where this sudden anger had sprung. When she walks past him fuming, he then realizes that he had hurt her feelings.
"Kagura, wait," he said. "Kagura, if I have hurt your feelings in any way-I did not mean to." Kagura stopped. She turns to look at him, her eyes overflowing with tears.
"Aishiteru...Sesshoumaru." Kagura whispers, knowing he could hear her. She takes a feather from her hair and leaves in a gust of wind. Sesshoumaru watches her until she is out of his sight. He did not follow her, knowing that it would be best not to. Instead, he pondered on what she had said to him.
"Kagura..."
Translations to Japanese Words
Onegai- please
Aishiteru- I love you
Tasa: Once again, Sesshou said her name. I wonder how many times he's just said Kagura' and nothing else? I wonder what I should do next? I have something major planned but I'm not sure what it was now... then there's Kohaku. I just randomly decided that he would be in it. I'm probably going to have a chapter with just him and Rin or something like that... Please review. (That includes my betas)
