Chapter 3: Living a new life

Five years have passed since the death of Naraku, the demon who terrorize many people lives. Everyone can finally live peace and a normal life. Especially Kagura, the wind demoness who escape death from her master grasp. She couldn't still be alive with the help of Lord Sesshomaru. At the brink of death Kagura suddenly saw illusions of Naraku stabbing "her". The young lord began mumbling in a different language that Kagura couldn't understand.

At first, she didn't understand Sesshomaru new powers of creating illusions of her own death. The wind demoness felt grateful that the inuyokai for saving her life. After the illusions show her "death" Naraku and Inuyasha believe the wind demoness is dead for good. Feeling guilty about lying to her older sister Kanna believed is dead and felt sad even if she doesn't show emotions. The spider birthmark suddenly disappears from her back when her master was purified.

At first, Kagura wanted to learn more about Sesshomaru new powers about creating illusions and lifting things up in the air. She wanted to ask about this but never got the chance. Soon at the day came and Kagura wouldn't forget the look of the young lord face. The look in his eyes was filled with anger and sadness.

3 years ago

Today is the 3rd year where Sesshomaru faked Kagura death in front of Naraku and Inuyasha group. One day they'll reveal the truth when the time is right. Sesshomaru and Kagura were watching their twins sleeping on the futon. A son and daughter look so happily in their sleep. The young parents walked to the nearby lake in the abandoned village. It wasn't just any village but a yokai gypsy village of the West.

Apparently when Kagura feared her life the Lord of the West leads her to his village. It was one of the livest villages of all in his land. Every yokai was laughing and enjoying themselves since everyone knows each other. When the lord was just a prince during the time he loved coming to that village because of his friends played many games and the festival as well. Now it just an empty deserted alley but somehow stay in good shape. Whenever Sesshomaru see this village almost made him shed tears of sadness but he couldn't not in front of Kagura.

Kagura began collecting some medical herbs in case the children were to get sick. Sesshomaru watches by her side while lifting some pebbles in the air. During the time he escapes from the Southern Land the young lord would practice his gypsy magic. He never regrets about his powers because of his grandfather. His kind-hearted grandfather that taught him to cherish his powers. Kagura saw the sadness in Sesshomaru decided to ask him now.

"Oy, Sesshomaru" Kagura called

"What is it, my wife?" Sesshomaru question

"I been wondering lately as we spend time together. When you created the illusion of my death and lifting certain objects in the air without touching them. All I'm asking is that how were you able to do them?"

Sesshomaru sighs with sadness before falling into deep silent for a moment. He knew that his mate would ask him one day but just didn't think so soon. The young lord never told anyone else about his gypsy magic because his fear of returning to the Southern Land. Also the horror memories and past event of beginning a prisoner and slave over there. Only his parents, stepmother, and grandparents knew about it but kept a secret when he return the Western Land. He believed Kagura to tell her about his past since he understood her situation when she couldn't escape from Naraku. They're both alike in the same way.

"I'll tell you but it isn't a pleasant story," he said

Kagura nodded before they sat down underneath a 400 years old tree while Sesshomaru took a deep breath.

"Before I was born there was a time where many full blooded youkai like myself were born with these mysterious powers. Many of us can see the future, creating illusions, and much more. I alone myself was born with the powers of creating illusions and moving an object with my mind. My grandfather and I were to be yokai gypsies"

"Yokai gypsies...? You mean..." Kagura whispers

"Yes, the ones that are being taken away from family forcefully with no second thoughts. They also took me and my grandfather over there in front of my father eyes. During my time over there I made a few new friends but I would often get beating from my master. Also...one night...I witness my grandfather death. They beheaded him in front of my eyes. I couldn't forgive myself if only I was stronger and faster"

A few tears rolled down the young lord cheeks before his beloved Kagura wiped the tears away. Slowly she places her lips against her husband's before pulling away.

"Your grandfather wouldn't want you to live a life with regrets and suffering. He wanted you to move on from the past and live a normal life" she said

"I want to move from the past but I just can't no matter how hard I try" Sesshomaru explain

"Yes, you can my love"

"No, not yet ...Not until I rescue all my friends and everyone else"

"But Sesshomaru...you're just one man"

Sesshomaru gently strokes Kagura before kissing her forehead sweetly. Looking deeply into her eyes with sadness but also something else she couldn't describe.

"Kagura, You and I are living a normal life with food to eat, a bed to sleep, and family that loves us. My people are in the Southern Lands suffering or being murdered with no remorse. I want to free my people from that hell when the time has come to my love"

End of Flashback

Kagura watches her son and daughter playing and laughing with Sesshomaru. Using his mind to lift the kids up the in the air with laughter. The young children tackle their father down onto the flower field. Kagura began giggling happily as she saw her husband and children were playing before hearing someone coughing.

A red haired began coughing up blood in front of the wind demoness and the inuyokai before passing out in the darkness.
