Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, yet! J/K Sorry it took me so long to update, and sorry also for the shortness of this chapter. But please R&R, ENJOY!
Sesshomaru walked through the field, with the young child and imp closely behind. "Lord Sesshomaru, please wait." rin yelled, trying to keep up with him. Sesshomaru paid them no mind. Until he stopped dead in his tracks. A familiar scent wafted through the air. He turned swiftly to the east, and there she stood. "What do you want of me wind witch?" Sesshomaru said calmly. Kagura watched him for a minute and replied, "I think I have an interesting proposition for one as malevolent as yourself." she smirked at her words. He was indeed intrigued by this, but his expression showed nothing of the sort. "Speak," he commanded, "or are you intimidated by me?" She was very cross that he had the nerve to mock her."I am most certainly not intimidated by any, especially such a mongrel as yourself." She spat out. Sesshomaru was finding this conversation more and more tedious by the minute."Speak." he repeated. She could tell he was irritated so she got down to the point. "I have taken something, that inuyasha desires back." At the slight mention of a possible way to make inuyasha's life worse sesshomaru was irritated no longer. "What do you possess?" She whipped out her fan and began to laugh behind it. Sesshomaru could feel that ever lingering feeling of maddening wrath rear its ugly head. "Dammit, why do you insist on testing my patience?" A growl came from deep within his throat. "Tch Tch Tch now sesshomaru calm down, do you want it or not?" she said in a taunting tone. He resisted the urge to snap her neck then and there, for the purpose that she might actually have something of use to him. He bit his tongue and said between clenched teeth, "Yes Kagura, I wish to know." Kagura decided to tell the young lord of her sister's catch. She explained of the lost soul, and of the half-demon's desire. As the sorceress departed on her feather, the young human girl became concerned for her den-mother. "Your not going to hurt Miss kagome are you?" Her innocent eyes penetrating his steel heart. He scoffed and began to walk away leaving her question unanswered. "Lord Sesshomaru…." She began but knowing that she would receive no answer, she stopped herself. She trotted along behind sesshomaru. All of the sudden he stopped, looked around and sniffed the air. Rin was then swept off her feet, pain shot through her shoulder. Sesshomaru quickly spun around just in time to catch the glimpse of rin flying by with a sacred arrow lodged in her shoulder. He ran swiftly after her, and caught her. She was wailing, the arrow pierced deeply in her right shoulder. He paid no attention to her crying, he was to busy trying to detect the source of the attack. Sesshomaru could sense a strong demonic aura permeating through the forest. He unsheathed tokijin and took a defensive stance. After what seemed like an eternity to rin, he no longer concerned himself with the attacker. He laid rin down softly. "Bite your lip, this will hurt." He warned. She nodded, fear in her eyes. He clutched the base of the arrow and jerked it out. A river of crimson spilled from the gash, turning her kimono from orange to red. She cried out when it was removed, but cried no more. He began to dress the wound. "Am I going to die?" she asked very innocently. That simple question made him stop in his tracks. "What?" he asked. "Am I going to die?" she repeated. "Don't be absurd," he scoffed, "you will not die from such a measly flesh wound." She found the answer quiet a relief. Sesshomaru found it quiet amusing that she thought she would die. As malicious as that sounds, he was just bemused at her childish mind. When he was finished he lifted the small girl to her feet. "Jaken, stay with rin." He stated as he ran swiftly into the forest. He didn't have to go to far before he caught the scent of a familiar wretch.
As Kagura floated aimlessly through the azure sky she wondered. What was she doing here? What was her purpose? She had finally escaped naraku's clutches, and yet she still felt empty. She could still make inuyasha's life a living hell, but that was losing it's satisfaction. She began to run her and sesshomaru's conversation in her mind. She recalled the expression of hatred on his face when she taunted him. A light blush graced her face. Why was she feeling this way? So many questions would remain unanswered, as she heard the howl of a wolf. She decided that a slaughter would relieve some stress. With a malicious smile on her face, she followed the mournful sound of the lost animal. She was led into a thick forest, everything seemed normal. As she went farther and farther into the depths of the forest, it hit her. The strong scent of blood, she covered her nose in disgust. The scent was so putrid, so retched. She came into a blood soaked clearing, laden with wolf corpses. She put her feather away and attempted to sift through the unmarked gravesite. Deep gashes marred each wolf. Kagura began to walk away, when she felt a strong demonic aura approaching fast. The wind sorceress concealed herself in the trees, and awaited the demon's arrival. A whirlwind appeared and a dark haired wolf demon stepped out. He was in awe of the massacre. He began to sniff the air, and caught a familiar scent. "Kagura, show yourself you bitch!" He growled. Kagura smirked at his anger, and disclosed her position."Your hatred for me grows stronger everyday Koga." She said with a sigh."You killed my pack." He said a growl resounding from his throat. "As much as it pains me to say, I got here too late for such a pleasure." He lunged at her with every intention of killing her. But she saw it coming and disappeared. "Damn." He cursed under his breath, as he felt her aura fade away. He punched the earth, and looked over his clan. He eagerly imagined the time when he could feel his claws piercing the soft flesh of Kagura's neck, the sound of her ear piercing scream as she died.
