A/N: Summer vacation, and I'm feeling lazy. Let's see if I can finish a few stories…

Koodori Joshuu

Ch. 6

The Enemy

recap:

A week later, Sesshomaru's father 'requested' to see him. There's a thief, he said, that has been stealing from people. His exact words were, "This is your chance to show yourself to the people. Capture this person."

Three weeks have passed since Sesshomaru had met with his father, four weeks since Kagura's first adventure. And between that time, Kagura, or should I say Koodori, became famous. And Sesshomaru figured out Koodori's pattern.
Another day, another ball. And another object to be stolen and returned. And this time, the victim was Sango, from the Taijiya. A person had stolen her boomerang. Why someone wanted to steal something that heavy, made Kagura wonder.

'Another ball', Kagura thought. 'Someone shoot me already'. Currently she had her hair being done, makeup was applied to her face, and an incredibly tight obi was tied on. 'I mean seriously, the Silla women have more comfortable clothing then I do.' Then a idea clicked in her head. She dismissed all the maids, and called Rin.

"See what I mean", the goddess said, "Kagura knows how to have fun. So unlike two people I know…" She smirked, "I'm off."

The god looked surprised, "You don't mean," he gulped, "that you're going to the ball!"

"Why not? I have a life, and I shall live it to it's fullest."

"Koodori, what would the council say if you were caught?"

"Do you think I care. I am no longer a child" A faint 'yeah, right', was heard. "Besides," she smiled, "something will happen tonight, and I want to be there when it happens. Tomoyo asked me to go with her anyways."

The god thought for a moment. "Ah, a crossroad in fate." Then he frowned, "You do know that we are forbidden to meddle when a crossroad appears."

"Who says I'm meddling? I just want front row seats." The goddess left, leaving the god to think.

Sesshomaru was grumpy, his father had announced that he would catch the thief Koodori Joshuu. Now his opponent knew who was after him. No, her.

Kagura dressed Rin up, and took her to the ball with her. She had decided to raise Rin herself. Though the only person she would talk to was Kagura. And she was clutching her kimono, making it hard to move.

She pasted a smile on her face and started to greet everyone.

"Good evening, Lady Kagura.", the human lord Omigumo greeted her. "What a charming party we are having today." His smile was irking. All she wanted to do was to whack him on the face and run out of the party. Instead, she pasted a smile and said, "Yes, I agree." She decided to spread a rumor. "I hear that the thief Koodori Joshuu will be making an appearance tonight." She went off to greet the next person.

'The only good things about balls', Kagura thought, 'is the food. Otherwise, I would of jumped off a tower already.' She and Rin were seated at a table with Sesshomaru, who looked impassive, two people named Eriol and Tomoyo, and a woman who said that her name was Mumei. Rin's eyes went wide at all the food that was heaped on the table, Kagura placed bits of everything on her plate so Rin could sample everything. She herself heaped her plate with rice, curry, and chicken. Sesshomaru leaned over and whispered, "It isn't ladylike to eat so much." She glared at him and continued to eat. Only after 'accidentally' pouring a pitcher of ice water on him, claiming that she had spaced out and wasn't paying attention to what she was doing.

"I hear that you two," talking to Sesshomaru and Kagura, "are engaged." Mumei started the conversation. "To be young and in love."

Kagura choked on rice, while Sesshomaru blinked and settled for a glare which would of killed off Mumei if she wasn't a goddess.

"It's an arranged marriage," Kagura finally spoke, "It's better for the country this way." Sesshomaru said nothing.

"But still," Tomoyo spoke up, "the two of you look good with each other."

"Oh, ignore her," Eriol said, "she loves to match make, woe to all our friends." He chuckled. "It's her living though."

"So," Kagura said switching topics, "where do you people come from?"

Koodori, Tomoyo, and Eriol glanced at each other, they couldn't exactly say that they descended from the heavens and were a god and goddesses.

"My lord," a man said, "What are we to do with the boomerang?"

"We shall threaten the Lady Sango with her own weapon, she will fight for us in order to continue to live with her people. Did you take the fans away from the Silla delegates?"

"Yes, my lord. The monk Miroku has agreed to keep them for us. Since your other self has given him a kazana, he is afraid to do anything against us in fear that the tunnel might widen, my lord."

"Very good, but be careful. I have heard that the thief Koodori Joshuu might turn up today. She might go for anything."

"I'm not quite sure," the man said with a quiver in his voice, "the Lord Sesshomaru is here, and he has been ordered to catch her."

"Are you questioning me?", the other man threatened. "I demand that only the most loyal serve me. All others are useless. Unless…"

"No my lord,", the man gasped, "I am your most loyal, for your tiniest wish, I would put my life on the line!"

"Very well. You may leave. Tell my other self to be on guard though."

"Yes, my lord, anything for you my lord."

"Get out of my slight.", he snarled. The two figures disappeared from the shadows and moved back into the light.

A/N: Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for not updating for such a long time! I had a writer's block, and then when I started writing the chapter, it sounded a bit too much like Saint Tail. Then I had a writer's block, I found out I will be moving out of state. Because I will be moving, please don't expect a chapter too soon. Chibi Yasha is finally done, and this story plot will be a cross of Saint Tail, Damo, and The China Garden. I also do not own Tomoyo and Eriol from Cardcaptor Sakura, they belong to CLAMP.

This was kinda like a filler, sorry!
