PEACH (CRUSH)
The first time Kagura sees him, he's fighting with his brother.
Naraku's told her enough about his acquaintances, his enemies and their relationships. Useful for when he sends her out to spy on them. He could just use the saimyousho or Kanna, for fuck's sake, but for once Kagura isn't all that upset about it.
After all, from her position tucked away in the trees, and with all the jumping around they're doing, she manages to get a very nice view of certain... assets.
With a sigh, she leans back and enjoys the show.
…
"You've got a fine face," she tells him, the first time they speak. If he cares at all for the compliment he doesn't show it, so she keeps the rest to herself.
He's strong, and that matters more right now than anything else, right now. She can imagine all she likes when she's alone, and she very much intends to―but not before leaving him with an insinuation and a smile.
…
Watching him fight Naraku is a little… nerve wracking, to say the least.
Kagura's still a little miffed about the whole "I-won't-help-you-you-dumb-bitch" thing (those hadn't been his exact words, but it had been the implication), so she's not that worried about him getting knocked around. And she is curious, he isn't here for her, but he's still powerful, so maybe this is the chance she's been waiting for and he'll finally kill Naraku. Maybe. Besides, with him in the way, she can almost ignore the monstrosity of Naraku's mix-matched body…
Then Inuyasha shows up and the whole thing goes to hell, because Naraku's a coward and she gets sucked up in the flurry of escape and having to go rescue Kohaku, or whatever.
Disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it.
…
For someone as intuned with the wind, with fresh air, being cooped up inside Mt. Hakurei is mind numbing. She wants to claw her own skin off, it's bad enough she's stuck in a cave with its stale, stagnant air, but Naraku and his youkai are all over the place. If she leans over the railing far enough, she can see the pulsing mass of him, sometimes his face will appear, staring back at her. It makes her want to vomit.
She picks a spot, as far as she can be from the bottom of that pit, as close as is comfortable to the top of the mountain without intruding on the second holy barrier, where the weaker youkai won't dare to come near, and gets comfortable for the next few weeks.
With only her mind to keep her entertained, it isn't surprising that it wanders, that it isn't long before she's wondering what it feels like, firm with hard muscle underneath? Or maybe just a little softer, easy to pinch and―
The barrier shocks her, and with a hiss she remembers that it isn't only youkai it's meant to keep out. Impure thoughts be damned. She fucking hates this place.
…
Once Kanna takes the baby, she's left with Hakudoushi, who has a much more lax attitude when it comes to her whereabouts, thankfully. At least she can come and go as she pleases.
It is one such late summer afternoon, that she finds herself drifting, no destination in mind, until her hawk like eyes spot something... interesting down below.
Her feather drops slowly, from down wind, her breath caught in her throat as she lands lightly on her toes, sneaking through the rocky forest floor to hide behind a tree. If it was there, her heart would surely be thundering in her ears as she peers around the tree trunk, because just beyond the tree line…
Kagura can't think, can't breathe, jaw slack, and eyes bulging as she stares for far, far too long in shock and awe. He's there, swords leaning against a rock, armor off to the side, fur slung low on his shoulder, and his robe hanging off one shoulder, her gaze travels lower, lower, and―
He turns, and Sesshoumaru smirks.
Kagura is in the air within seconds, face burning red hot, and she doesn't even care that she's made a mess of her exit, all frantic and loud, and if he'd only been guessing at her presence before, he'd definitely seen her run.
It isn't until she's gotten far enough, found a river to cool her skin with, that she realizes with chagrin:
Her fantasies really hadn't done it any justice.
