Chapter 3: The Alliance with Price
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sesshomaru's POV
I decided to help her. I don't know why I wanted to help her, but I figured if I help Kagura, she would bring me closer to Naraku making it easier to fight him and win. She was the key to me killing Naraku and it was now or never. She did say she might not live that much longer.
I sat on the edge of my bed and focused all of my thoughts on the Wind demon. As much as I tried to get her out of my mind, I just couldn't get her out of my head. Her face when she left flashed into my mind. The fear I sensed in her eyes was still pictured. Then I began wondering if she would ever come back.
I wasn't exactly sure why I had let her come to the castle in the first place. I thought maybe she would prove useful to me. She turned out to be useful, but at a price. She would die if she told me where Naraku's castle was. Now that is where the problem begins.
Kagura's POV
I sat up on the cold, hard wood floor. It was freezing and I only had the kimono that I was wearing to keep me warm. I began thinking back to when I went to Sesshomaru's castle. The bed was so comfortable and it was nice and warm. Now I have to come back and live like this. I don't even know if I'll be seeing Sesshomaru any time soon. I hope he's been thinking about what I said. I don't have a lot of time and it all comes down to what he decides to do.
I heard the sound of the door unlock and Naraku entered the room. That disgusting smirk was placed upon his face. I wish I could just attack with my wind blades right now, but that would mean the end of my life. He shut the door and walked towards me. " Kagura, what happened when I sent you for the child?" he questioned.
I stood silent for a while and then answered, " Sesshomaru had caught my scent to easily and I wasn't able to sneak attack him. He fought with no mercy and I had no choice but to flee." I lied. I actually lied to Naraku. Well, I just prayed that he would never find out.
He turned his back toward me and began walking towards the door. Before he exited he whispered," That better be the case because if I find out that you are lying I'll kill you." With that, he left me in the room alone and drenched in fear.
Sesshomaru's POV
It was now night and I still couldn't get the wind witch out of my head. She would be useful, but to be using her only to kill Naraku. What would she think? Not that I care. She should kill Naraku on her own. She is strong enough. Why am I even thinking about this? That witch is none of my concern.
Rin walked in the room with Jaken behind her. He was coverer in flowers. "Look Sesshomaru-sama. Look what Rin made." She smiled and handed me a necklace of flowers. I grabbed them from her and laid it on my bed.
"Rin go take a bath. Your covered in dirt." I answered. She nodded, grabbed Jaken, and left.
I laid down and thought about the wind witch one last time. She is pretty, but I will not let her distract me from what I must do. With those thoughts in place, I fell asleep.
Kagura's POV
I couldn't sleep. It was either because I was freezing, worried about Naraku finding out what I was up to, or what Sesshomaru was planning to do with my offer. I wrapped my arms around myself and paced back and forth. That damn Naraku. Making me suffer like this. I hope Sesshomaru agrees to help me and sends Naraku to hell.
Who am I kidding? I sat down and let tears slide down my face. Sesshomaru is definitely not going to help me. I will be forced to do whatever Naraku wants me to.
I walked to the corner of my "bedroom" and let out a few sobs and just cried. I hate feel weak like this, but what else can I do.
I heard footsteps pass my room. I also heard talking. I walked to the door and checked if it was locked or not. Luckily it wasn't. Naraku must've forgotten to lock the door when he left. I opened the door and followed a figure that looked like Naraku. There was another person but I couldn't tell who it was. It wasn't Kanna or Hakudoshi, but it was a demon boy. I followed them and saw them reach Naraku's bedroom.
Third person's POV
Naraku spoke " So you understand what I need from you?"
" Yes sir. I have to get that girl that travels with the Lord of the Western Lands" The demon boy answered.
" Good I hope that you will prove more useful to me than that Kagura. Now go, Tanuki. Bring me the child."
Kagura stepped out " Naraku, who is this?"
" He is going to take you job. Now you will never be aloud to leave the castle."
" What! You can't do this to me I need to leave sometime. Please, Naraku, allow me a little bit of freedom."
Naraku smiled " You will be allowed an hour of freedom everyday, but if I find that you have betrayed me, you will no longer have your freedom or your life. Now go to sleep and leave me to discuss some important matters with Tanuki."
Kagura left for her room
