A/N: To the person in Inuyasha, I adore and who should (and may) get lots of respect from others. My all-time favourite character other than Sango. She rocks, she's trapped, and her only wish is to be free.
SPOILER!!!!!
Kagura, after reading different poem about her, I found out she dies in Chapter 273 of the Manga. Sniff, she's an awesome and this is my way of saying thanks. Since I haven't read chapter 273, I shall make out how she dies in my own piece of writing! One-shot as usual.
One-shot, songfic, but my own song-poem thingy. It's sad. I'm posting a TISSUE WARNING! YOU MAY NEED TISSUES BEFORE READING THIS STORY.
Standing Up for FreedomKagura's POV
I flew on my feather desperately searching for Inuyasha and his companions, I had to warn them, it wasn't fair.
Spotting Inuyasha wasn't hard, but getting to them without being attacked could be harder. I flew down cautiously.
Never thought I'd be here,
Bet they never thought they'd see
Me flying to them.
To stand up to be free.
Hope the can trust me,
Hope they see what I can truly be,
I'll help them, because I need
To stand up to be free.
"Inuyasha" I call out to him, slightly scared, "I do not wish to fight, because I wish to help."
Inuyasha stood his ground, "How can you prove this wind witch?"
Ouch, that hurt, okay so I may not have been the best to him but I had no choice." Please," I landed my feather jumped off.
I bent down on one knee and extended my open palm, to the weirdly-dressed miko "I offer these to you, I've found and collected them on my own and Naraku knows nothing of them and I swear on anything you wish I will not betray, I came here to warn you"
"We should at least hear her warning, " Miroku pointed out, "Lady Kagura what is this message you have?"
I have been allowed to deliver my warning,
Just in time before he finds me.
I must give this message, or I won't be able
To stand up, to be free.
Heed my warning,
Listen closely,
Danger is approaching; many will die without being able
To stand up, to be free
"Listen closely," I say, "Naraku is planning the final battle, I happen to know that night will be a new moon. Unless you attack before you surely will all die."
"Thank you Kagura," the Tajiya says, "But why are you telling us this?"
I recognize her now; she is Kohaku's older sister. I see the pain in her eyes, I see how she's mourns for him, and I understand the pain. At the moment I looked into her eyes we had an understanding a bond. "I am sure you know that it is not only the great Inuyasha-gumi who seeks Naraku's death, I for one am all for it. Seeing the bastard die will be my greatest joy in life." I respond.
"Lady Kagura, why don't you help us fight?" Miroku asked.
I smiled weakly, "With my life, literally, in Naraku's hand? I think not."I replied, "I shall be killed for even mentioning this to you, but I have to, I have one more thing to do before I can return to my death."
"I honor you Lady Kagura, you have excepted your death with no regrets. I hope I will be able to do the same. You are an amazing woman." Miroku said giving a slight bow.
Sango looked at me, "Good lick, Kagura, May Kami-sama guide you."
Kagome nodded. "Your not that bad you know that?" she said.
"Feh, while, goodbye then, Kagura," grunted the hanyou, "now I'll have to find an equal fighting enemy,"
I took that as a complement and made my leave. There was still one thing I had left do.
Leaving with a grin,
My message where it should be.
Hopefully now, some people will get a chance
To stand up to be free.
Now I must say my goodbyes,
To those who mean the most to me.
Sesshoumaru, please fight for me, help me
To stand up to be free.
I walk up to a silver haired inuyoukai. "Sesshoumaru," I call softly. He turns around and sees me.
"Kagura?" Sesshoumaru looks at me, "Why are you here?"
"I must say goodbye, Naraku is about to kill me, Sesshoumaru, please help your brother fight him." I reply.
"Why would this Sesshoumaru do such a thing?" he asks.
"For me, for I shall be gone, and I need you to stand up for me." I announce.
Sesshoumaru pulls me into a hug, (an: Can anyone imagine him doing that? KAWAII!) "Of course Kagura."
I pull away and place a single kiss on his lips. Climbing onto my feather and taking off into the air I head for my final resting place. "Goodbye, Sesshoumaru," I whisper as tears start to make tracks down my face.
The last task is finished,
To return is all that's left for me.
My life is limited, but I've had the chance,
To stand up to be free.
I've returned,
Knowing what my fate will be.
At least now I will be able
To stand up to be free.
I return to Naraku. "Kagura, I have found out about your whereabouts, I know what you have done and now you shall pay."
I vented, tears pouring down my face I screeched, "you bastard do you know what I've done? I've killed masses of innocent people because of you! I've accepted my fate with pride. I've made my own decision for the first and last time. So kill my body Naraku, this never belonged to me anyways. My spirit is and will live on, no matter if you kill me the wind does not die."
"What a lovely speech, Kagura, but you did not follow the orders placed before you and you will pay." Naraku replied squeezing my heart.
My scream rang through the forest loud enough for all to hear. The Inu-gumi as well as Sesshoumaru bowed their heads.
Suddenly I felt light. I was floating I am spirit of the wind. No, I am the wind. I float with go where I like, my wish is complete.
I've made my choice,
Now everyone can see,
That I
Stood up to be free.
Take that Naraku,
You can't choose who a person can be,
I've used my life
To stand up and to be free.
No wait, now I am free.
Take that Naraku.
A/N: Sayonara Kagura, I'll miss you.
