Wounded
"Naraku."
Naraku grunted as he spilled himself within the semi conscious woman beneath him. After he caught his breath, he looked up at Kagura with anger shining from his sweat covered face.
"I told you not to disturb me!"
"I know but SesshoMaru is here."
Naraku laughed as he bent forward. When he was next to Karappo's ear, he whispered something foul.
"Did you hear that? Your lover boy has come to save you. Don't get your hopes up my pet, he will never get past me. You are mine, now and forever. When I return, we shall continue."
Naraku then stood, dressed and walked out. As he walked past Kagura, who was standing by the door, he instructed her to watch Karappo until he returned. Once he was out of sight, she ran in the room and began undoing the shackles. As she unhooked the last shackled around Karappo's ankle, her skin turned black. She watched in amazement as Karappo regenerated her cloths while she was still unconscious. Then, Karappo sat up and looked around her. When she spotted Kagura, she knew what had happened.
"Why did you free me?"
"To show Naraku you should never trust me with a set of keys."
"I am in your debt."
"There is nothing you can do to repay me."
Just then, Kagura felt something beating within her chest. She placed her hand upon her chest only to smile in shock. She had her heart. She was free. She looked to Karappo. How had she done it?
"I have repaid you by freeing you and Kanna. Now, I must go and fight Naraku."
"Thank you, if you ever need me or Kanna, just give us a call."
"I will."
Karappo then turned and walked out of the room. She walked the halls, following Naraku's foul scent to the outside. Soon, she could hear voices. From what she could hear, they were talking. She sped up, hoping to catch him off guard and before they battled. She rounded a few more corners then, the exit was right in front of her. She stepped out, silently, onto the veranda. He was standing with his mutated back to her. His tentacles were flailing everywhere. She smirked, this would be fun. She summoned a spear made from the shadows and threw it as his ugly hanyou back. She could have laughed but she didn't as he turned to her.
"How did you escape?"
"Kagura."
"She will pay for this!"
"I don't think so. She's free, you no longer have her heart. Now, I will kill you."
"How are you going to do that with no weapons?"
"Who said I didn't have any weapons?"
Karappo reached up under her shirt and pulled out a small crimson orb attached to a string around her neck. She pulled the orb, breaking the string, and threw it in the air. As it flew, the orb grew in size until it was the size of her head. Then, a black rod flew out of the orb. She grabbed the rod as a large, crescent blade emerged and the orb hovered in the curve of the blade. Then, Celtic designs appeared upon the staff's surface. She brought the staff down and held it in front of her.
"A witch's staff! You are no demon! You are a witch!"
"No, I am a demon! I just studied witch craft first! Now Naraku, prepare to die!"
