"A mystery…" –Haru Sohma, Fruits Basket

"I will kill you Koga! Give me back my Tetsuiga!" yelled out Inuyasha.

"I already told you I don't have it stupid mutt!" Koga yelled back. "Why can't you understand that?"

Koga, Inuyahsa, Miroku and Sesshomaru were all covered in blood. It had been nearly 3 hours and the sword had never appeared. All four men were fighting over something that was not even there. And finally one of them noticed.

"You are right, Koga does not have your sword Inuyasha." He said.

Everybody was silent. Sesshomaru's golden eyes looked away and he started to leave. "I am loosing my time here, obviously Naraku still has your sword. His little wench must of lied to you Inuyasha you pathetic half demon. You believe her. Just like Kykyo…" And with that he was gone.

Inuyasha looked at Koga. "You really don't have it?" He asked confused.

"That's what I have been saying all day! Now, I don't know what the hell is going on, but if you want to fight, bring it on!" Koga yelled.

"Inuyasha, I believe that Koga is right. He does not have your sword, Yori must of lied again." Miroku started. "Sorry Koga for believing her, we must go on, come Inuyasha."

The two left and Koga cursed at his friends. Before they were too far away he yelled out: "Maybe you should think before acting on!"

Yori was alone in this room she found and tears streamed down her eyes. Why did he hit me? Because I deserved to be punished? All I did was walk in at the wrong moment! What's next? I will drop something and he will slay me? Naraku really is the devil in person. I had no clue such evil people existed! Again and again, why could I have not died by those bandits?

"Yori?" came a voice. She looked up at her. After spending half the night crying, she looked bad. When her vision became better she noticed it was Kagura. "Hi Kagura." Yori said. Kagura bent down and looked at her.

"Naraku slapped you?" she asked gently. Yori just looked back at her. And nodded slowly. "Yes, he did" Yori replied. Kagura actually pitied her. "Naraku can sometimes be a little harsh. He used to hit me a lot before. And he still does." The two young women were left in silence.

"I don't know what to do. I don't think I can survive it anymore! I wished I could of died back by those burglars. Naraku really hates me. I think I want to die. I wish I would of died." She said.

"Oh really? Is that your wish?" Naraku asked. Both women turned there heads and meet up with him in surprised.

You really can't talk out loud around here. They both thought.

Naraku smiled and came in the small room, and sat down beside both of them. He looked at them and both there heads went down. "Ladies, it is not nice to talk like that." Looking at Yori. He spoke again. "Do you really wish to die?" he asked.

Yori looked at him. "No, my lord, I do not really wish to die." She answered in a low voice. Naraku ordered Kagura to leave. Again she was alone with him.

"Then why do you say so?" he asked looking deep into space.

Yori was quiet. "Because I am scared of you." She said.

"And because I hit you?" Naraku mused to her. He brought up his hand up to where he had hit her on the cheek. He felt her cheek and let his hand there. Yori shivered. Naraku smiled then brought his head to hears and looked deeply in her eyes, keeping his hand on her cheek. "Yes? No?" he asked. Yori looked down. Naraku smiled again. He sat closer to her, and said: "I wont hit you again Yori, unless you make me angry. I think I want you in my chamber." He said. "It will help you sleep." He added. Yori's face went red.

"Ch- chamber?" she spelled out. Naraku grinned. "Oh, so I see you are inexperienced. I shall change that." He whispered to her.

"Naraku, why do you keep me alive?" she asked. He got caught back. He looked at her with intense eyes. Walking up to her, her placed his hands on her throat. "Are you asking me a question?" he hissed. Her eyes grew big, and he smiled. "Do you wish to die Yori?" he asked toughing his grip. The young girl nodded a no. "Well then why do you ask?"

Yori gave up. Not talking it anymore she cried out: "Would you not ask the same question if you were in my place?"

Naraku looked at her in surprise. "Allowing yourself freedom?" He let go of her neck and brought her up to himself. "Because I need amusement darling, and you are just the tool I need. Good enough?"

Yori felt like crying. So all the attention he gave me was just for using me?

"Naraku, I thought that maybe you liked me, and that you were not using me! Well I was wrong! I…I should of stayed with Inuyasha! Better yet, you should of let me to die!" she started to cry again.

Naraku held her tighter, not really knowing what to do. The first time in his life he felt kind of, kind of guilty. "Yori stop that." She did not stop crying so he said it again, "Yori stop. I hate it when women cry." When she did not stop he yelled it out. Which, it made her cry even more. Giving up, he just decided to hold her as she finally stopped. He brought her to her usual bed and went outside to think.

Why that stupid Yori! She, she almost made me pity her. I am Naraku, not some stupid human man who cares for someone he… he… loves. He thought in disgust. She must leave, and I must go on with my jewel shards. That no good female bitch… Why is it when she cry's…. I feel guilty… I never feel guilty… Damn it all!

Naraku went and punched the wall. "For hell's sake!" He yelled out. Kagura went outside to see what was happening.

"Naraku? What are you doing?" she asked in surprise. He turned around and looked at her.

"Kagura, that women, Yori, she must go!" he yelled out at her. Kagura backed away and nodded.

Yori POV

So much for my life. I don't know what to do anymore. I really have nowhere to go. This really sucks… I hate this I want to leave!

"Yori, its time to go." Kagura told me. I had not even noticed her come in. I just followed her, thinking it was time for Naraku's "chamber thing". But I was wrong because Kagura led me all the way outside, back to where I had first met Naraku. "Have a good life." She said and she flew away. There I just stood looking around. It had been a while since I saw sunlight or blue skies. Back in Naraku's castle everything was dark. Not knowing what to do, I walked back to where my legs brought me. Back home. I hope.

Back at Naraku's castle

"Naraku, Yori is back home." Kagura told her master. Naraku looked back at her. "Good, that girl was different then the others." He said. "Yes, she was indeed… Now that she is gone, come here Kagura."

Kagura walked up to where Naraku was sitting. "Yes?" She asked. Naraku pulled her leg and she fell down on him. He smiled and covered his lips on hers. "I really did much rather you than her you know." He said once he let her go of her lips. Naraku held her strongly against him. "Too bad she did not have any power that could have helped me to find the jewel. Just a mere human."

Kagura stayed quiet. Naraku was in a good mood, so she was going to keep him that way, by not saying anything.

Not saying anything that could make him want to kill her…

Not telling him, that she knew where the last jewel shard was, because Yori's mother was the one who owned it…

Flash back

"Kagura, don't tell Naraku but I think my mom has a jewel shard. She used it to protect our house. And that is when everything happened. Although she was protecting it, we needed food so I ran out the house with a bit of money, and that is when Naraku saved me… I want to tell him, but I think he would kill me, or more of less kill my family and steal the shard…"

End of flash back

"Some thing the matter Kagura?" He asked playing in her hair.

He knows something is going on… He is being nice to me, because he knows… Even if I tell him, he will probably kill me for not telling him any sooner.

Naraku looked at her intensely. "Well? Anything you wish to tell me?" he asked again.

Kagura swallowed hard and looked in her master's eye.

I really will receive a beating either way… Why did she have to tell me this? What am I going to do?

"Nothing… there is nothing Naraku…" Kagura said looking down.

"Really? Because that is not what I think." Naraku said. He held her tightly against him. "Kagura, do not lie to me." He said.

Kagura somewhat felt safe against his strong chest and his broad shoulder. He smelled good and he was handsome. How could she resist him?

That is exactly how he wants her to feel.

Kagura closed her eyes. Either way I receive a beating, and I'm back in my cell. This is a: lose lose situation.

"Naraku… do you know what's going on?" she asked almost in a whisper. He smiled then started to laugh.

"I know everything that is going on this castle. And I also know that you are keeping something from me. Kagura stay on my good side, it will be less painful."

Well if he knows why does he ask me? What am I going to do? Oh help me!

Naraku smiled once more and let her go. She fell on the ground her face as frighten as a child who is scared of monsters.

"Very well Kagura." He said looking down at her.

"No wait! Master please I will tell you!" Kagura yelled out.

"What is there to say now?" He questioned back.
