Author's Note: You must all hate me now. I never update this story and I had said in my bio that it was abandoned. Well I felt like a writing machine one day and decided to continue this story, although you must understand that I have two more brand new stories that need to be updated and have very long chapters. Anyways here is a new chapter and don't forget to review.

A tear glistened in the small rays of a candle light. It was forbidden for her to ever have a candle lit but she lit one anyways. Besides, the master was out preparing a new attack against the only demon that she wished to not fight against.

Her eyes were clouded over with sorrow as she silently wept. She even wished she could hear herself cry, although it would do no good. She just wanted to have a voice.

The door to her chambers was ripped open by a pudgy hand. Glaring red eyes stared her down full of hate. A foot connected with her ribs and sent her sprawling across her room, the chains that enslaved her freedom smashed down upon her fingers, casuing prickles of pain to shoot up her hand and up further to her arm.

Kagura sat herself up and raised her arms in a defensive manner just as Naraku's open palm tried to reach her face. The wind sorceress paid for her actions just as quickly as the whole dispute had happened.

Naraku grabbed the chains that bound her legs together and used them to drag Kagura closer to him. Kagura grabbed the floor boards but her nails only left scratch marks in the wood and offered no such hold against Naraku's punishment.

A fist hit her directly in her left eye. Kagura's mouth twitched from the pain just before it worsened. She was knocked flat on her stomach when the sole of Naraku's foot pressed down on her lower back.

The hanyou released it and stared at the fallen woman with cold hatred.

"Get up," he commaned.

Kagura could only raise herself to her elbows. Naraku cackled and then spun on his heel and left the room. But not before he told her what she ordered to do next.

"You will be sent out to kill Lord Sesshomaru so I will be rid of him."

Kagura winced and went over to the candle that now lay on the floor with a puddle of wax surrounding it. She picked it up between delicate fingers and set it back on the wooden coaster that it had been on before Naraku had entered.

Seated in a dark corner of the small room, Kagura picked one of the two pink feathers that were embedded in her now messy hair and studied it. She twirled it around and around, her eyes never leaving it for this was her only means of escaping.

And it was totally useless against Naraku.

Amber eyes scanned the castle from afar. They held no emotion but if you looked deep enough you could see the anger that resided within them.

His long, silky silver hair blew in the wind that blew from all directions. Sesshomaru pulled back from his spot in the woods just outside of that filty hanyou's castle and turned his back to it and the servent demon that housed much power.

Jaken would be searching for him and right now he didn't want to be around the little toad demon so the taiyoukai turned off into a different direction and began walking off into the deep forest.

Tree after tree, Sesshomaru walked on. Birds sang quietly to themselves and that was all that could be heard besides the quiet rustle of leaves every now and then. Sesshomaru stopped walking along when he came upon an open feild.

The grass was a lighter color here. A daisy would rock lazily back in forth in the wind when it brushed past it. A tiny little brook was off to the side and near it was an old looking tree that gave off enough shade that he could sit under it in his demon form.

Sesshomaru walked over to the old tree and instead of resting under it he jumped up nearly fifteen feet before resting on a solid branch. He never sat down he just looked to the side and watched Naraku's castle closely.

Naraku stood before his hoard of demons and was instructing them on exactly what they were supposed to do and if they did wrong it would cost them their lives. When he finally paced in front of Kagura he snickered when she had her head held low and refused to look at him.

The hanyou clasped his hands around the chains that bound her hands together and lead her back into the castle instead of being out in the open where all eyes could see and all ears could hear what was about to happen.

Yet another punishment.

"Show some pride," Narkau snapped as he slapped Kagura across the face, who still hand her head bowed.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Kagura didn't want to nod or shake her head or shrug her shoulders. She didn't want to kill the demon who had come into this castle despising her master. She didn't want to be in charge of a demon hoard and she didn't want to be in chains for the rest of her life.

She wanted a voice.

Head still bowed, Kagura moved off to the side and went to go walk past Naraku but his fingers dug painfully into her upper arm.

"Did you hear what I said?" He repeated again before shoving Kagura into the back of the room so she wouldn't try to walk away again.

And she did just the opposite of what he wanted.

Kagura didn't care how much damage her body sustained. She didn't want to be in this room right now and she was going do do things her own way. When she tried to brush past her master for the second time in the past three minutes she felt horrible pain errupting from her heart.

Her legs gave out and she hit the floor with a loud thud. Narak roughly lifted her up and just hurled her out of the castle instead of yelling at her anymore, seeing that he finally go his way and she wasn't trying to ignore him anymore. If she refused to listen again he would just kill her.

When Naraku paced in front of the demons again Kagura had her head up. Her eyes looked cloudy and mud was smeared all over her face and clothes.

A trickle of blood went down her face from the bruise on her cheek bone that Naraku had ripped open by slapping her with all his might.

"You will scout the land," he yelled, "and when you find Lord Sesshomaru you will kill him and bring me back his head when you are done."

There were nods from everyone, Naraku noticed, except Kagura.

His long strides Kagura recognized right away and met his eyes with her deep crimson ones.

"Isn't that right Kagura?"

She just stared at him with a bored expression on her face.

Naraku smiled coldly before producing a knife from inside of his kimono. He let it glisten before Kagura slowly raised her head and slowly lowered it to let Naraku know that she understood and that he was right with the silent nod.

The knife went away and Kagura was commanded to get on her feather and lead the way. She fought with herself before she flew off on the feather with the demons not far behind her.

Sesshomaru watched as a cloud came his way. He knew better, that was no no cloud it was a hoard of demons.

His eyes widened ever so slightly when he caught a glimpse of who was leading them. He had no time to do anything because the demons were piling on him in a matter of seconds.
