Chapter nine: Unmei (fate)
"High priest!" A miko ran to Kenmei as he came back from Sesshomaru's castle.
"What is it Kiyoko?"
"We have begun rebuilding, but something is wrong! The aura of the ground! There is some thing missing!" They walked to the shrine wreckage to find many miko standing around it.
"What's going on?" Kenmei said. As he pushed through the crowd of red and white.
"High priest look!" One of the junior priests spoke, and pointed to the ground.
"What is this?" Kenmei saw a red aura stained on the ground, where Naraku fell dead, but there was something wrong, something missing. Kenmei approached the site and noticed an area that the aura was not present, his soul.
"No....there's no telling where his soul is now.......every one we must take precautions, first we resanctify this land, next we reassemble the Kekkai, last we purify everyone and everything, also when the barrier is reassembled, NO ONE will be allowed to cross it without my consent." Kenmei said in a solemn voice.
"This is no joke, everyone this is a sign, a sign of the nanashi.....The Demon Goddess...."
( scene change note this story is extremely complex, but each event has some significance.)
"Now to learn some more Dances.........." Kagura spoke. looking down at the ageing scroll before her. She was in the forest around the Castle practicing.
FLASH BACK
"Here Kagura, a gift." Kenmei said as she sat down from dancing. He pulled out an old scroll and handed it to Kagura.
"What is this?" Kagura said, holding the old parchment.
"It belonged to the Wind Goddess, Kazejin. She wrote all her techniques in this sutra and it is very valuable, it holds immense wind sorcery, not to be dealt with by mortals or novices, so you would be the best to learn, but also know that Kazejin also presides over feathers, petals, dance, leafs, and anything else that can glide on the breeze, which reflects in her techniques." Kenmei said popping another piece of sushi into his mouth.
"But don't lose it, it can also be used as a powerful weapon if the paper it's made of is formed into a fan..."
END FLASHBACK
"Hmm....this one looks useful." Kagura said. She stood up held out her fan, she spun around once, pulled her hand behind her, reversed it, then brought her fan upwards.
"Dance of Destruction!" She yelled as a huge gust of wind blew from behind her, and rushed forward destroying every thing in her wake.
"Wow, this wind goddess knew what she was doing! Now lets see...'Dance of Destruction, uses the wind around, in front, and behind the user to destroy anything in it's wake by focusing all the power of the wind into a single blast'." She read from the old scroll.
"Mistress Kagura, Lord Sesshomaru wishes for your presence." A lady-in-waiting came from behind Kagura.
"Yes I am on my way." Kagura said as she gathered up the scroll and tucked it in to her trademark kimono and walked off towards the castle. As she entered the main hall she saw Sesshomaru.
"What is it? I was in the middle of something." She said in her sarcastic tone.
"Over there." Sesshomaru said, looking to the opposite side of the room. Kagura looked over to see her sister Kanna standing there.
"Kanna!" Kagura ran over and hugged her sister.
"Kagura....." Kanna said in her void-of-emotion tone.
"What Kanna?"
"Stop....hugging.....me......it hurts." Kanna said as her face started turning red from lack of air.
"Oh, sorry." Kagura said. ' what a surprise she said two words in a row.' Kagura thought.
"So what are you doing here, Kanna?"
" I had nowhere else to go" Kanna said quietly. ' Even more of a surprise, she spoke an entire sentence!'.
"Oh Sesshomaru...." Kagura said. She looked over to Sesshomaru, he knew what was coming, 'To think I, Sesshomaru, have been reduced to this.' He thought as he nodded yes, what else could he do? If he said no she would probably ignore him, and invite her in anyway, so it was no use.
"Come on Kanna lets get you a room." Kagura and Kanna walked off leaving Sesshomaru in the main hall. Sesshomaru walked off, out of the hall he had to relieve some stress, so he went off, found Jaken, and stepped on him repeatedly.
"So Kanna where have you been?" Kagura said, entering Kanna's room-to-be.
"Spying on you." Kanna said unemotionally.
"Kanna will you ever stop doing that?" Kanna just looked at her with black empty eyes.
"Okay Kanna, Dinner is at sundown, with your void power you should be able to find the dining hall." Kagura walked off.
"..........................." Kanna 'said'.
Dinner was pretty much uneventful, Sesshomaru watched as Kagura Talked to random people in Sess's court, and Kanna sat next to Kagura.
"Kagura I want to speak with you..........in private." Sesshomaru said.
"O....Kay." Sesshomaru led Kagura into the uppermost room using the lift. Sesshomaru pulled out a small wooden box with castle prints across the sides, and handed it to Kagura. Kagura opened the box and saw the most magnificent ring she had ever seen it was white made of pearl, with a crescent moon shaped diamond, with a smaller circular blue stone between it's points like a star.
"Does this mean........" Sesshomaru nodded yes. At that Kagura tackled Sesshomaru to the ground, and kissed him.
