Kagome: I bet the other's were worried when we didn't come back.
Inuyasha just shrugs as they make their way for the village.
The scene changes to Naraku's castle as he sits silently in the dark and empty room.
Naraku: So the Nekura now travels with Sesshoumaru, how interesting.
He says as he watches Sakura sound asleep within a cave, laying against Aaun, Rin sound asleep beside her. . .while Nekura lay curled up inbetween them both, covered in the blankets the kind women had given them.
Kagura: What will you do now?
She asks standing in the doorway, Naraku glances up and smiles.
Naraku: Go to Sesshoumaru, Kagura. Bring the Nekura and it's keiei to me. The human girl as well if Sesshoumaru puts up a fight.
Kagura nods and turns to set off to find them.
The scene changes t othe cave as Sakura slowly begins to awaken she blinks looking around as she recalls where she is and looks over to Sesshoumaru who is standing at the cave's entrance looking silently at their snow covered surroundings. She stands slowly, so as not to awaken Rin and the Nekura and walks up beside him her eye's widening as she see's the snow glistening in the sun and the ice covered tree's shining beautifully.
Sakura: Wow...
She says stepping out of the cave, gasping as her feet sink slightly into the snow she leaps back onto the cave's solid ground staring with wide eye's, not noticing as Sesshoumaru looks down at her silently with a somewhat curious gaze.
Sakura: Hmm..
She says kneeling down she reaches out and runs her hand through the snow her eye's widening at how soft it is.
Sakura: How neat..
She says bringing her hand up and looking at it as the snow slowly melts in response to her body heat. She blinks curiously andthen glances back as she notices Rin awakening.
Sakura: Look it. .Rin-chan. The "snow" is all over the ground.
Rin sits up sleepily, her eye's widening as Sakura speaks she hops up and rushes over giggling happily as she see's it.
Rin: Do you want to play in it?
Sakura: Play?
She repeats confusingly and blinks as she tilts her head.
Rin: Like this
She says and runs out into it giggling.. Sakura watches her and then smiles and stands following after her and begins chasing after her, gasping a Rin throws a snowball at her.
Sakura: Heeey!
She says and forms one of her own and throws it at Rin hitting her in the chest with it. Rin giggles as the two chase after each other throwing snow back and forth.
Jaken: What strange women .
He says coming up to the entrance of the cave, Sesshoumaru watches them silently and makes no response to Jaken though it was obvious he had atleast heard him.
The two continue playing for some time and then all of a sudden Sakura turns her eye's widening she lunges for Rin shoving her into the snow and out of the way just as several blades of wind slam down into Sakura's back piercing her and ripping through her.. her blood splattering out around her tainting the snow red. Rin looks up wide eyed in disbelief, her eye's widening more as she see's Sakura laying motionless in the snow.
Rin: Sakura!
Sakura: It's alright...
She says as the wounds on her back begin to heal she sits up slowly and turns. Rin blinks as she notices the healing wounds.
Sakura: Remember.. I said me and Nekura.. we are "we".. though me and her.. we are always "we". I am but a part of her.. if I am injured .. I will heal eventually .. the only time I won't heal is if the wound is on her ... then I am injured as long as she is.
Rin: Wow..
Sakura: It is an advantage
She says and stands looking at Kagura who had landed.
Kagura: Yo.
Sakura: Who are you?
Kagura: I am Kagura, the Wind Sorcerres.
Sakura: Yeah .. well you're about to be one dead demon.
She says coldly as a strange red glow begins flaring out around her. Nekura stands at the threshold of the cave her eye's glowing red.
Sesshoumaru: What do you want, Kagura
He asks coming out of the cave, Jaken begins following after him.
Sesshoumaru: Remain where you were, Jaken.
Jaken pauses his eye's widen for a moment and then he nods moving back to where he was beside Nekura.
Kagura: I've come for the cat and it's other form.. don't interfere.. hm?
Sakura's eye's widen.
Sakura: So you are the one that has been after us?
Kagura: My Master is the one who desires your power.. I'm just your transporation to him.
Sakura: No one is going to have our power.
Kagura: Naraku isn't one you can disobey.
She says and glances over to Sesshoumaru, her eye's widening as she notices his hand on his sword as if he were about to draw it.
Sesshoumaru: Leave.
Kagura stares at him for a moment and then looks to the Nekura and then to Sakura and shakes her head.
Kagura: I can't do that.
She says and turns dodging him going straight for the Nekura her eye's widen as a ball of red light slams against her hard throwing her into the rocky wall of the cave she groans as blood comes out from her mouth and she drops to the ground.
Sakura: No one will have our power!
She yells angrily as she forms another ball of red light in her hand, Sesshoumaru turns looking at her silently. .. obviously slightly shocked that she even had that kind of power inisde her.
Kagura: I see why Naraku wants you. .. he's going to absorb you and take your power.
Sakura: I already told you, that isn't happening!
She says yelling out coldly, she says and begins charging for Kagura enraged, her hand raised as she's ready t othrow the nergy at any moment she gasps coming to an abrupt holt as Sesshoumaru appears infront of her from a blur and holds out his hand. He draws his sword holding it out pointing it towards Kagura.
Sesshoumaru: Leave or you will die by my hands.
Kagura's eye's widen slightly as she stands.
Kagura: So that is how it's going to be then huh?
She says smirking as she folds her arms.
Kagura: Very well.. I will go for now.. but I WILL return... Be ready.
She says and draws her feather, the wind exploding out from her as she swirls up into the sky and off into the distance. Sakura looks up to Sesshoumaru curiously as he still stands in the stance and then slowly lowers his sword returning it to his belt.
Sakura: Why did you protect me like that?
Sesshoumaru: Because.
He says and turns and begins walking away, Sakura scoffs annoyedly.
Sakura: Because isn't an answer!
She sas groaning as he ignores her and continues on.
Sakura: SESSHOUMARRRU!
She yells in an angry whine.
Jaken: You should refer to Lord Sesshoumaru with respect .
Sakura: Stay out of this you .. you.. weird looking green thing.. I don't even know what the hell you are.
She says and throws the ball of energy that was still in her hand, the energy exploding into the ground inches infront of him he screams in fear and whails cowering as he thinks of what would of happened had it been only inches ahead. Sakura glares at him and then turns storming off after Sesshoumaru. Nekura watches silently and then hops through the snow over to Rin and into her arms.
