"The spider enjoyed torturing her," Sesshoumaru said, bringing her out of her spiral. "Mother discovered her after one of these instances and took it upon herself to heal her."

"Wasn't she worried about it being a trap? Or being used as bait?"

"She was prepared for such, but to my knowledge, Kagura never spoke a word about her to Naraku."

"She loved her."
