I'm really sorry that this took so long:S Anyway, thanks to all my readers who reviewed!


"Mmm…" Kagura woke up groggily the next morning. She turned around lazily on her gigantic bed before everything flooded back. Naraku's dead. Dead. She gave a wry smile. "AH!" She screamed, realizing there were people in her room. All these women dressed in uniforms of black and white. Where am I? She stared around frantically before remembering that she was in Sesshomaru's home.

"You're awake." Sesshomaru walked in the door regally. "Get ready and join me for breakfast." He stared at her sternly before continuing, "You're too thin. Eat more."

Kagura nodded stupidly. "Right." Maybe then they'd discuss over dinner what would happen to her. Would he just let her leave? Perhaps give her some money…? No, probably not. She got up and stretched, thinking that she might as well play with the hand she was dealt…


"Did you rest well?" Sesshomaru asked her. Servants walked in with plates and plates of delectable food. Kagura nodded, not taking her eyes away from all the delicious food in front of her. This was breakfast? Breakfast? Her eyes shifted back up to Sesshomaru in awe. Suddenly, she recognized him. Sesshomaru…Sesshomaru something… He had been on the top of Japan's Most Eligible Bachelors List. Umm…Kagura tried to recall how old he was. She could remember that he had inherited a vast business empire from his father and was worth several trillion dollars. Wow…

Kagura cleared her throat, breaking the silence between them. It felt strange that they were quiet when so many people were bustling around them. "Uh…thanks. For everything, I guess."

Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow at her. She was thanking him for killing her father? "You will never mention what happened to your father?" He asked her. She nodded with resolve. He felt slightly more content. He had shamelessly bribed the police to just let this incident pass as a suicide. And in return, they had shamelessly accepted. The things you can do with money, he said to himself scornfully.

"Umm…I was just wondering…" she started hesitantly. Sesshomaru gave her a questioning glance. "What- what happens to me now? I mean- when do I leave?"

"You won't be." He stated firmly.

Kagura gaped. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I WONT BE?" She stood up, knocking her chair over while Sesshomaru sat calmly in his chair.

"I mean that you will not be leaving." Sesshomaru repeated. Before Kagura could protest, he slid in, "I cannot permit you to leave after what you saw yesterday night. It could ruin me, my company, and my family name."

"But I said I wouldn't EVER mention what happened to him!" Kagura insisted furiously.

"But you could. Besides, where would you go if you were to leave? You have no money, no relatives that I know of…" he had done a quick checkup on her yesterday night. She had had a mother, who had died when she was six, a sister who had died three years later, and a father, who had died yesterday night.

Kagura was silent. "I- I…" He had won on that one. "But I can't just stay here!" She was terrified at the prospect of being trapped here. Kagura felt like crying for once in her life.

"You will stay here and you will not throw a fit about it." Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, flashing his warning. He had a feeling that this girl had a fiery temper and would give him much trouble. And indeed, the next second, she was screeching at the top of her lungs, yelling profanities. Sesshomaru's eyes flashed for a second time and then he had her pinned against the wall.

Kagura choked in silence as she struggled to get him away from her. His golden eyes pierced into her ruby ones and his powerful grip made her shudder in fear.

Flashback

"DON'T!" Kagura screamed loudly. Naraku had Kanna up against the wall, holding her there with one powerful hand.

"You- you disgrace! Your mother was whore. A slut, a WHORE!" Naraku ignored Kagura's wails and pleas. Kagura ran up to him but was thrown back with Naraku's other hand. She hit the wall with a resounding smash, knocking the lamp over on the way.

"Kanna…" Kagura called across to her little sister. "Kanna, hold on, I'll…I'll…"

Kanna's eyes connected with Kanna's for a brief moment before they went blank.

End flashback

Sesshomaru loosened his grip immediately as he saw Kagura's eyes blur over with a mix of tears. Oh God…he had lost his temper. It happened very rarely but when it did, Sesshomaru could take lives as easily as squashing a fly with his hands.

"Kagura?" Her name came to him after a moment of thought. "Are you all right? I- I apologize. Kagura?"

She slid down from where she was. "Kanna…" she whispered sorrowfully. She didn't even look up at Sesshomaru, who glanced down curiously at her.

"What?" Kanna…he had read that name somewhere…Kanna…

"Kanna, I'm sorry…" Kagura kept whispering. She put her head in her hands. "Kanna…I'm sorry…" She repeated the words over and over again before Sesshomaru grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her violently. Her head snapped up and the trance was gone.

"Who's Kanna?" Sesshomaru demanded. "Why were you saying her name over and over again like that?"

"I- I-" Kanna stammered. "It's nothing." She turned on her heel and ran out of the room.
