Chapter 9: Secrets between Sesshoumaru and Kagura?
Sesshoumaru sat on a rock as he watched after Rin. They were in a large, open field. Rin was chasing after fire flies, giggling and laughing up a storm. Jaken stood at Sesshoumaru's side.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, look!" Rin held out her hand, she was hold three small fire flies, "Aren't they amazing? I wish I could light up like that."
Sesshoumaru managed a smile. After all the time Rin had spent with him, he had softened him up a little, not much though; only she could make him smile. Just as Rin released the bugs the wind became harsh and violent. Sesshoumaru stood up and pushed Rin behind him. The trio looked up to the sky to see Kagura descending,
"Sesshoumaru, I'm glad I could find you," Kagura began to walk toward Sesshoumaru. Rin peaked out from behind Sesshoumaru's leg.
"Kagura, what is your business here?" Sesshoumaru shot a snide look at her.
"Are you still helping that younger brother of yours in his search for Kagome?" Kagura took another step forward.
"What's it to you?"
"Well, it just so happens that she and I are working together currently. I feel that you should know what all has happened during the time she had been away."
"What the hell are you talking about Kagura? Just tell me what the hell is going on? As of right now, you are lucky I have not killed you. You are the reason for this mess," Sesshoumaru held his claws up toward Kagura.
Kagura simply smiled, "May we speak in private?" She glanced down at Rin and Jaken and then back up at Sesshoumaru. He nodded, and his companions disappeared into the woods. Kagura gave Sesshoumaru a very seductive look.
"What is this about Kagura?" he got real close to her.
"Naraku has fallen in love with Kagome. She has convinced him, that she too feels passionately toward him. He has let her cloud his judgment and he is getting weaker every day. Kagome and myself have devised a plan to finally defeat him. But I ask that you and your brother and his friends stay out of the way, unless asked for help. We cannot risk our plan to be found out, you understand. Right?" Kagura was pressed against Sesshoumaru at this point.
"Of course," he was gazing into the two pools of crimson that were Kagura's eyes. She lifted herself on her tip toes as he knelt down. Rin peaked from behind a tree and her face lit up at what she saw. It was something she had been waiting for, for quite some time now.
"Master Jaken, look," she pointed at the scene. Jaken's mouth dropped to the ground, he was in utter shock. Could it really be, his master has found love?
Kagura broke away, "I must be on my way now, mustn't make him suspicious." With that Kagura disappeared with the wind.
Rin ran up to Sesshoumaru with an ear to ear smile. He simply smiled back. Rin had hoped for a long time that he and Kagura would fall in love. She saw them and then pictured her old family. "They could be my new family. I feel as though Sesshoumaru is already like a father to me. And Kagura, even though she's done bad things in the past, it wasn't her fault. Naraku was the one who made her do all those things. Ah, that would be just wonderful. Lord Sesshoumaru as my father, Kagura as my mother," Rin gazed up at the sky and wished on a shooting star, "Please, please let Lord Sesshoumaru and Kagura be together forever and be my new parents."
Kagura returned to the castle, her face a little pink. Kagome saw her and walked over, "Kagura are you alright? You're blushing."
"Oh, I'm fine. I've spoke to Sesshoumaru, he knows. I'm going to bed now, good night Kagome," Kagura swayed down the hall, she seemed to be in a trance. Kagura was truly in love with Sesshoumaru, no matter how much she would deny it to herself, she knew she helplessly in love.
