Chapter 4:

Kagura was thrown roughly into the room that held Kikyo. Even Kikyo's dead eyes seemed to turn more human as she looked at Kagura's state.

Kagura was lying face-down on the floor, but it was easy to se that she was coughing up blood while attempting to stand. She could tell that this heartless demon was in great pain, Naraku wouldn't stop torturing her.

"What?" Kagura said spitting out blood unknowingly at Kikyo, "Naraku wants me to guard you, you idiotic priestess!"

Kikyo sneered, her dead eyes hiding her previous feeling, "Oh? Does he not want Inuyasha's lover to get away?"

Kagura laughed in a dispirited, self-loathing chuckle that had Kikyo have a feeling that she hadn't had in years, "You got that right Dead Miko." Kagura began to cough up more blood.

She slumped against the wall, choosing to ignore the look the dead miko was giving her.

However Kikyo dwelled in her thoughts. The feeling, she now recognized it, she was feeling pity, sorrow, and anger at the same time as she looked at Kagura. No wonder Kagura wanted to be free so badly. Kikyo began to think she was more capable of feelings than she was.

It finally hit Kikyo. All Kagura could feel was hate, or the lust to kill. Whenever Kagura tried to feel something more Naraku would keep her trapped by hating him, thus making her hate the world.

Her head jerked up at the sound of timid footsteps. Kanna, the soul stealer demon of Naraku, stood at the doorway, holding that mirror still. Kikyo shrank away slightly at the sight of the mirror that could so easily kill her.

Kana didn't seem to notice her, she wen to sit down by Kagura. The frail demon gently set that evil mirror down whispered something to Kagura.

Kagura grunted and opened up her arms, Kagura gently snuggled in her arms and leaned her head against Kagura's chest. Kagura closed her arms, keeping her younger sister in a protective, yet loving hug.

Kikyo could only gape in surprise. She looked at the lovely picture the two made... the way they could always be if Naraku was dead.

Just then, the monkey robe person himself walked in, except of course he wasn't wearing his robe. He walked past the two and straight to Kikyo's cell.

"Hello Kikyo."

"Naraku, this is awfully rude of you. To have me taken prisoner when I would have just simply agreed. I want Inuyasha dead more than you."

Naraku smirked, "I just thought that you would like to see what it will be like for Inuyasha to be in here."

"You are to keep him alive?" Kikyo sounded angry at this.

Naraku chuckled, "I know very well what keeps you alive. It is not the souls that keep you amongst the living, it is your desire for Inuyasha to die, and to hurt as much as you did."

"YES! That is what I want! So why keep him alive?"

"What will you live for if I simply just kill him. Your task will be complete."

Kikyo's head drooped slightly, Naraku was right. Then Naraku let her out of the cell. "I have no more use for you. He thinks you are here, that's all that I wanted."

Kikyo stepped out of the cell and cast a forlorn glance in the two sister's direction, "so you will be using them to capture him?"

"I want you to live for as long as possible Kikyo." Naraku strode over to them, he aimed a kick to Kanna's back.

But to Kikyo's surprise Kagura's body turned and she accepted the kick for herself. Naraku had an evil smile upon his face, "All that I have to do is threaten Kanna, and Kagura will do it."

Kikyo left the castle, and then glanced back at the room she was in. " Inuyasha...... I wish you the best of luck. I hope you kill Naraku, and give her back her hope."
