-Chapter 9
She couldn't solve it. And she even spent all her sleeping time working out his plan too.
"Damn it Naraku. Why is this so hard to figure out?"
Well at least she could keep her thoughts in…unlike some people…Kagura's thoughts went back to the time went Naraku suddenly started laughing. She inwardly shivered. The thought still scared her.
Kagura walked out of the room and started walking towards Kanna's room. As annoying as she is, she makes good company. But the only path that can take Kagura to her destination, is one that passes Naraku's room first.
"Here we go again…"
Everytime she happened to pass his room, Naraku was always doing something weird. Talking to himself, Laughing to himself…plotting by himself. Or better yet killing the servants of the castle. He has no social life, Kagura concluded. That's his fault for driving everyone away.
Kagura carefully stepped pass the area on front of his door. Maybe he only does weird things to scare her?
"Carefully, carefully…almost there…"
Just one more step and the wind-demon would have made. But he must of sensed her or something because..
"MuahahAHhaha!! They've fallen for my trap!!"
Kagura winced. It was so close too. This was almost a game for her. It always followed the same steps. Get bored, try to pass Naraku's room without hearing him talk to himself, and finally get to Kanna's room.

Inuyasha's group
--
"And where exactly are we headed to again?" Kagome was confused, afterall the boys did say they wanted to go shardhunting.
"The finest-"
"house in the villiage." Inuyasha finished.
It's was normal activity, well…for the guys at least. Once again Miroku was prodding around the house and taking whatever seemed valueable. Unlike Inuyasha and Shippo though, Sango and Kagome caught on right away. As soon as Miroku finished up his act they both dragged him away for questioning.
"My, you ladies are certainly-"
"Get your mind outta the gutter!"
"We are only going to ask you some questions!"
"Well actually one." Corrected Sango.
"All that 'excorsism' you did…it was fake…wasn't it?"
"Ah, you ladies catch on well. The other two," Miroku motioned at Inuyasha and Shippo, " They never knew until I told them."
The girls giggled. Boys…god, what can we do without 'em? They three walked back to Inuyasha and the kitsune. Only to meet the cold glare Inuyasha sent them.
"So, you three were talking about me huh?"
"both of you to be more exact."
"Feh."
Suddenly the tatami (sp?) mat slid open and revealed a young woman in her early 20's. Which was plenty old enough for Miroku. She was carrying trays with their lunch on it. Following her was a whole line up of other women, servants.
After the huge dinner they had the shard hunters decided it was time for a well deserved nap. It was still afternoon. While the boys, minus Miroku, Lay sleeping Kagome and Sango went off in search of a hot spring. While Miroku had to tell the owner of the house what the demon was like.
"And it was huge like this!" one of the servant girls said stretching her arms out to indicate how big the demon was.
"And I heard him say it had a big jaw with lots of sharp teeth!"
"But it made no sounds…"
The girls that were just gossiping turned to look at the new person who just cut in. It was just another girl..
"Yeah! I think he told me it was mute or something!"
"That's probably it."
"That houshi's so0o cute!!"
"Yea! I know!"
Sango was just around the corner, listening to the three girls chat back and forth. Miroku sure told a detailed…lie. Sango slowly wandered around the courtyard of the house.
"What was I looking for again?"
She turned the corner and thought she was taking herself to the garden, but instead found the hot spring – what she was originally looking for. And in it she saw Kagome, taking her bath, Enjoying herself.
"Wait a second! Wasn't she supposed to come tell me if she found the spring?!"
Sango emerged from the trees, and sat down.
"I wonder how long it will take Kagome to notice?"
Sango sat there watching her. She felt like Miroku…in a non-perverted way of course! There was Kagome, taking her time. So much for 'I'll come and find you if I find the place first' she went on ahead! Some friend huh?
Kagome was just about to step out of the water. She knew she was forgetting something…what could it be? She pulled the towel over and wrapped her body in it.
"Hey! Kagome! Forgetting something?"
"Actually…I was just thinking that…Oh My God! Sango! I-I'm so sorry! I knew I was-"
"Calm down Kagome! It's not liked you killed someone or something!"
Sango took off her clothes and slipped into the water. It was so warm! Kagome didn't know what to do.
"Maybe..I'll get back into the spring and bathe again with her…what I was supposed to do in the first place. Or maybe I'll sit by the edge and talk to her."
Kagome sighed and threw the towel aside. She slipped into the warm water once again. Sango looked up at the other girl.
"Didn't she just finish bathing?"
"Kagome, you didn't have to…"
"No, It's my fault. I should of come to tell you."
"ok…"
So Kagome took her second bath. Sango watched as she silently slipped into the water again. When both the girls were done their baths, they went back to see if Inuyasha and Shippo were still sleeping. The whole way there Kagome was staring at her hands.
"Kagome, something wrong?"
"No, nothing. Just that my hands are pruneing." Kagome made a face indicating that she didn't like it when that happened. ((A/N : Who does?!))
"oh." Sango smiled. Kagome could be so childish sometimes. Not worrying about the cuts and gashes from battle, but about the fact that her skin goes all wrinkly after a really long soak in the water.
Slowly they made their way to the room where Inuyasha was. They were laying down on a mat, on the floor. They were also eating Kagome's chocolate bars.
"Wh-Wh-What are you doing?!" Kagome took a look around. Maybe leaving her stuff in the same room as Inuyasha was a bad idea. Her belongings were scattered all over the floor. Brush, cellphone, junkfood, elastics…everything that she packed!
"Oh, I found these weird bars in your bag and it smelled good so I took one."
"Y-You BAKA!!" Kagome's aura suddenly took a change from calm to evil. Inuyasha gulped. He really did it now. Kagome stepped up to him, her face was inches away from his.
SLAPInuyasha now had a red mark on his right cheek. Punishment? Inuyasha could of easily said that it didn't hurt one bit, but that would have been a lie. Kagome's slap actually stung. But just a little. Inuyasha would never admit that though, he hated the 'weak' image.
Sango turned to look at Inuyasha. The red mark looked like it was getting bigger instead of fading away. Sango reached over,
"Inuyasha…are you-"
"I'm fine Sango." Inuyasha clamped a hand over the hand-print and stood up. He took one more glance at Sango, then his attention turned over to Kagome. She was picking her things up.
"Maybe I shouldn't of thrown her stuff everywhere then?"
"Inuyasha, where are you going?"
"Does it matter?"
Inuyasha slid the door open and slid it close again after he had stepped out. Kagome was still packing up her stuff. It was everywhere! As if Inuaysha found some things he liked and decided to hide it somewhere so he could get it later. Under the shelves, under the bed…in the closet? Sango watched the girl with amusement.
"Hey Kagome, I think he's mad at you."
"Nah…really?!" Kagome replied sarcastically, "It's all his fault! I can't belive he did that!"
"So where do you think he's off to?"
"Somewhere…maybe the baths…sulking."
"Ah."
Kagome couldn't of been more exact. After wandering around a little, the hanyou found the springs. Where the girls just left few minutes ago. In fact their scent still lingered there. Inuyasha stripped and jumped into the bath.
"Much better."
Slowly he waded over to the opposite end of the spring and started what he came to do in the first place. Sulk. Putting the look on his face, he decided that it would stay there until Kagome apologized. Which he realised was going to be a really long time.
But he was prepared to do it. With a quick sigh Inuyasha jumped out of the water and got dressed. But because his hair was wet, it got his clothes wet too.
"Dammit."
Inuyasha trudged back to where he left Kagome and Sango. He walked up the path again and was about to open the door when he heard Miroku's voice in the room too.
-giggle-
"No way!"
"and dear Sango, would you like me to read your palm as well?
"Uhh" Sango blushed when Miroku took her hands into his. " Fine."
Miroku looked carefully at the lines on her hand, slowly he lifted a finger and traced along one of the darker lines.
"Hmm…" Miroku smiled mischieviously, " My Sango! It seems you have already found the perfect man! Now if only you would bear him a child….your life will be full of happiness!"
Miroku made that up but hey, he was desperate! Sango just listened to him, when he finished she just sat there. That is until it all clicked.
"LECHER!"
CRASHSango's weapon made contact with Miroku's head, sending him crashing through the door. Of course Inuyasha was on the other side so Miroku hit the hanyou on his way out too. Inuyasha looked carefully through the door, silently hoping that Kagome wasn't the one who knocked Miroku out like that.
Inuyasha causally walked past the hole in the wall, turning his head slightly to look into the room. Some people could call it spying, but to Inuyasha, it was seeing if the wench had calmed down yet.
Kagome was searching everywhere for something, and really everywhere. After Inuyasha was the one who took apart her bag…When Kagome was finally sure that nothing else was missing she jumped back and landed on the bed. It was exhausting crawling around looking for your own belongings. And in the weirdest places too!
Inuyasha watched the girl land right in the middle of the bed. Maybe she's calmed down? Inuyasha was taking no chances, not after that slap…afterall the mark was still there.
"Maybe later then…"
Kagome sighed burying her face into the pillow. Maybe the slapping was a little too much? The girl turned around again, she just couldn't get to sleep. Who knew slapping the hanyou would make her go through a guilt trip?
Much like Inuyasha had done earlier, Sango peeked around the corner. Just to see if Kagome was still in that 'I'll kill you if you come near me' mood. It was pure evil. But to Sango's surprise Kagome was in bed, rolling around.
"Kagome?" Sango took a careful step into the room. As if she didn't want to wake up whatever was living under the floor boards.
"Ehh?" Kagome looked over to see who woke her up. Right when she actually fell asleep too! "Sango?"
"Feeling better?"
"Yeah."
"Good."
Kagome rolled over to face her friend, it felt like forever since she got to talk to her alone. It was like Miroku was stalking Sango or something.
After a good talk the two girls walked out and bumped into Inuyasha, who was actually on his way to 'check' on them. Inuyasha gulped, he wasn't quite ready to face the girls yet. Too bad they already saw him or he could of made a run for it.
The girl kept walking, right past Inuyasha, they paid no attention to him. As if he wasn't even there! Inuyasha closed his eyes and flattened his ears against his head. He was preparing for a lecture. But, it never came. Their voices were getting farther and farther away.
Inuyasha looked up and saw the two figures walk out of the front doors and into the court yard.
"Keh, stupid wenches."

Naraku's castle
--
Naraku made another golem, the girls were taking far too long. What are they doing? They're supposed to kill them dammit! Naraku watched closely, watched as Kagome smacked Inuyasha, and watched when Sango hit the monk with her Hiraikotsu, sending him flying through the walls. Naraku laughed at that, laughed at their pain, and sorrow. He loved to see the dark side of the small group.
Kagura was in Kanna's room. The girl was so life-less. And so Kagura found the last form of company boring. That is, unless you liked the talk of 'Naraku's slave?' Kagura preferred to be free. Free… like the wind…
Kagura slipped back to her room, but not before, once again hearing quiet mumbles that could only be heard by a demon. With another inward sigh Kagura walked just a little bit faster, back to her room.
There in the solitude of the small area that she could almost call her own, she thought about things, thought about how Naraku was so evil, so cunning. She could very well be in a trap. Then it hit her. She was in a trap. But then again she figured that part out a long time ago, it was just…what's the trap?
What was Naraku's plan? That was the one thing that drove her to the brink of insanity, or maybe she was just over-reacting? Kagura decided to leave. Naraku's castle was very unhealthy for her. Maybe just a stroll? Or…
The wind-sorceress thought about her options over and over again. Maybe just a quick walk…Kagura walked out of the mansion, and right through the barrier that Naraku put up to keep out Inuyasha and his new 'friends'.
Up in the air, above Kagura was a venom wasp, it was spying on her, making sure she didn't run off too far. Back in the safety of the castle Naraku smirked, his plan was going according to plan. The second she steps into this castle again…
"That's when I can put the wind demon out of her misery…and into my control."
Kagura was out in the fields enjoying herself, having the 'time fo her life' she was free. A lone Saimyoushou was still watching her, Naraku seeing everything that the wasp saw. Once again the evil hanyou smirked, he watched as Kagura flew around, enjoying herself.
"Enjoy it dear Kagura, for it shall be your last time going out onto that field."
