Disclaimer: I do NOT own Inuyasha.

Authors Note: So everyone will know in this fic Inuyasha already had Tetsusaiga when Kikyo bound him to the won't be any trip with the black pearl, alright? Good. Also this is my fic so I can do it that way.


Last Time: "Return Kanna. I have need of you here." her master commanded.

She disappeared from the tree tops without a sound and slowly made her way back to her master. He had need of her, need of her to make her bleed and to make her watch the pain of her sister. She truly hoped the miko would get the jewel and save them from her masters cruelty.


"He knows." Sesshomaru said aloud to Kagome as she dried off.

"Who knows what?" she asked.

"Naraku knows we are here." he said to her.

"Wh.. what? How?" she asked.

"His void demoness was just here spying." he said.

Kagome lunged for her clothes and placed them back on her person quickly. She had a feeling that Naraku just had an eyefull of her naked body as well as watched them make love in the spring.

"We need to inform Inuyasha." she said to him.

"Indeed." he said calmly.

Kagome nodded and they made their way back to the camp.

"Inuyasha we have trouble." Kagome said as she came into the camp.

"What is it?" Inuyasha asked.

"What?" Miroku and Sango chorused.

"Kanna was just here. Naraku knows we are here." she explained.

"Shit. He'll probably move again." Inuaysha snarled.

"How will we catch him now?" Shippo asked.

"He won't move." Sesshomaru said.

"What do you mean, Sesshomaru-sama?" Miroku asked.

"He saw more than he needed to. He won't move because Kagome is so close to him and in his rage of observing Kagome and I in mating he will stay put to get his vengence faster." he answered.

"Ewww." Shippo said wrinkling his nose.

"Mmhmm." Rin said agreeing with Shippo.

Kagome blushed ten shades of red. He spoke so openly about mating her how could she not be embarrassed. Miroku chuckled at her and Sango bopped him over the head and called him a letch. Inuyasha was embarrassed as well. He really didn't want to hear about it.

"What Miko, it is the truth?" Sesshomaru asked looking at her blush.

Kagome shook her head. She then cleared her throat and had them gather around to discuss tactics on how to approach the spider.

Minutes and many arguements later the group was packed and heading for Narakus' hiding place in the mountains. Each one of them was on their toes as they traveled. They didn't know if or when Naraku would spring a trap or try to ambush them.

But he did neither. As they drew closer to his hideout he had Kohaku come before them. He informed them that Naraku had sent him to escort them to his lair. They all followed behind the puppet boy, quietly, as he led them to the spiders' web.

(With Said Spider)

"Kanna you are back." Naraku hissed as the little void child came in.

"Yes master." she said in a monotone voice.

Her voice may not have had a trace hint of emotion but inside she was cringing. She was sure that there was going to be some kind of hell to pay for what had just been seen. She looked around the room to see if Kagura was there or not and she found that she was not there.

"Do not worry Kanna, she is not here." Naraku said savagely.

Not a flicker of anything passed her devoid face but her insides were screaming in terror and jerking to run or cower in the very least. But she wouldn't. She would never give him the satisfaction of seeing her flee in terror of him.

"Leave. I have no more use of you until later." Naraku said to her.

"Yes master." Kanna said.

She slowly left the room and made her way down the hall. She looked in every room she passed searching for Kagura and Kohaku. She was certain that since he spared her that he must have hurt Kohaku as well as Kagura. Her progress was slow; she didn't know what she would find and wanted to prepare herself for the worst.

She walked down to what was supposed to be a sitting room for women and slowly slid open the shoji door. She didn't see anything but she heard a whimper in one of the far corners out of her feild of vision. She walked into the room and turned to see that Kohaku and Kagura were both in there.

Kohakus' back was turned to her and he kneeled over Kagura. She couldn't see his face but she knew that he was crying, crying over Kagura. But why? She shuddered to think that she was possibly hurt beyond help or... dead. She didn't want Kagura to be dead, it may be selfish of her to think but she needed her. Kohaku needed her. "Please, please." was all she could think as she approached.

She stood beside Kohaku and looked down upon her sisters' broken body. All color was drained from her face and there was no life in her eyes. Her chest did not move, no air was taken in and none was coming out. She was gone.

Her eyes traveled down from her beaten and lifeless face. She took in the wounds and her eyes landed on the area of her chest where her heart was supposed to be. There was a wound filled with miasma. She knew then what had happened. It was clear that Naraku had given Kagura back her heart and then killed her with a fatal wound of miasma. But knew that was not the extent of the cruelty she had been forced to endure.

She unwillingly let her eye roam over her. Her clothes were ripped and slashed. The skin that showed was severly gashed deeply with miasma seeping out. She could see that he had taken his time and slowly tortured her. She had a feeling that he had done other more horrible things to her and decided to get her cleaned up and buried.

"Kohaku." she said getting the boys attention.

He looked up at her and she could see that he was of sound mind. Narakus' influence had temporarily dropped and he was functioning on his own. He was grieving for Kagura and was genuinly sad about her passing. Kanna was glad to know that not only she cared for her sister.

"Please fetch some water and cloths. We need to clean her and bury her. I will get her a clean kimono." Kanna said.

"Yes, Kanna. I will." he said and left to get the supplies.

Kanna watched him leave and then she left to get what she needed. She went to Kaguras' room and pulled a clean white yukata out and three snow white kimonos. She went to a small jewel box and found two white dove feathers and two chopsticks with white Lillies on them. She carefully folded them neatly and went to a sewing box, she was going to sew up Kaguras' wounds to have her buried atleast half decent.

Carefully she picked up the materials and made her way back to where Kagura was. Kohaku was already back and was cleaning her when she arrived. They cleaned her and sewed her up and redressed her the best they could. They had her already and moved her. Not sure as to where they were going to bury her but they were going to. They walked some way and came upon a feild of flowers with an open view of the sky.

"Here." Kanna said.

"Of course." Kohaku said and they placed her on the ground.

They dug a grave for her and placed her in it. It was hard for both Kanna and Kohaku to place that dirt on her but mustered up all of their strength and did it. When they had finished Kanna covered her grave with white flowers and placed a headstone with her name on it that Kohaku had engraved.

They stood together and silently looked at her grave and suddenly left the area. There was nothing more they could do, not even shed a tear. They smiled instead. Happy for her. She was finally free to be the wind and free from the pain at Narakus' hands.

"Kohaku I need you to meet Inuyasha and his friends." Narakus' voice came from Kannas' mirror.

"Yes sir." Kohaku was now back in his puppet mode and left to fulfill his masters wishes.

Kanna watched the boy go and saw a small tear fall down his cheek. He was tired and in pain and so longed to be free. She knew that pain and want. Kagura was free and happy, she was glad. Kohaku was glad as well. Now they could only hope that they too could atleast meet the end that she had. Because only in death would they truly be free.
