Disclaimer: Again, I don't own Inuyasha, or do I? Lol, I'm just kidding, I don't own Inuyasha, Rumiko Takahashi does:)
Kagura flew through the air on her feather, with the Dark Priestess Tsubaki behind her.
'I can't believe that Naraku sent me on this mission without telling me what he plans on doing! Is it possible he knows I plan to betray him? Hn, but how could he? If he did I would be dead by now, wouldn't I? Just what is Naraku planning?', Kagura thought to herself.
"Here we are," Kagura said, as she spotted the castle. The feather gently gliding to the ground once they were inside the outside wall.
Kagura started toward where Naraku was, with Tsubaki following.
As Tsubaki followed Kagura, she started thinking, 'What does Naraku want with me? Hmm, I shall humor him and find out. Then I will decide if I want to help the hanyou.'
Soon they were outside of Naraku's door, Kagura knocked.
"Come in!" Naraku's cold voice rang through the silence.
Kagura entered and bowed, "I have brought the Dark Miko, as you requested.
"Very well, Kagura, you may go," Naraku commanded.
'Damn! I was hoping I would be able to stay and discover his plan!' Kagura thought, stomping off.
"Welcome Tsubaki,"
"Naraku...what do you want with me?" Tsubaki said coldly, looking Naraku in the eye.
"Fine, I'm aware that you can curse someone by making them fall in love. Am I correct?" Naraku grinned cruelly.
Tsubaki narrowed her eyes, 'What is he care about that for?' She paused before answering, "Yes, I can perform the Noroi no Kigokoro. But exactly why do you care? "Tsubaki said.
"Because I need to kill the young miko that Inuyasha travels with, and you are going to help me," Naraku replied, "I need you to curse Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru, so that he falls in love with Kagome."
Meanwhile, Inuyasha and the others are coming upon a village.
"Do you think we could stop here tonight and rest?" Kagome asked.
"Don't worry, Kagome! I shall secure us some lodging," Miroku said as he started talking to the nearest person. As the others shook their heads at Miroku's usual way of getting lodging.
"Sir, I sense an evil aura, I believe it might be a demon. Would you like me to exorcise it for you?" Miroku said, looking grave.
"Are you sure?" The man replied, "I have been feeling a evil presence, and would greatly appreciate it if you would vanquish it for me?"
"No problem," Miroku said as he walked into the house and placed a sacred sutra onto the wall, and chanted something under his breath. When he was finished, he came back to talk to the man, "Sir, the demon is gone."
"Oh, thank you!" The man said as he bowed, "How can I ever repay you?"
"Well, my friends and I are in need of a place to stay tonight," Miroku said.
"You are more than welcome to stay here tonight," The man replied.
Miroku sweat dropped, as the others glared at him, but he only followed the man into the house.
Later that night, after everyone had eaten, Inuyasha decide to get some air. Kagome saw him go outside and followed.
"Are you ok, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
"I'm fine, but I have a feeling something is going to happen," Inuyasha said.
And as usual, Inuyasha was right, and that bad feeling was coming closer to the village. And arrived exactly when Inuyasha and Kagome were about to return inside.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome screamed as something grabbed Kagome.
Inuyasha turned around to see the Dark Miko Tsubaki, holding Kagome by the hair.
"Tsubaki," Inuyasha growled, as his hand reached for the Tetsusaiga.
"Hold it, Inuyasha. You wouldn't want to hurt your little girlfriend, now would you?" Tsubaki said, running her hands through Kagome's ebony hair.
'Got it,' Tsubaki thought, 'I have what I came to get. She can go back the pathetic little dog hanyou. For now.'
"Do you want her back Inuyasha? You know I could just kill her. But I think I'll save that for another day," Tsubaki said, throwing Kagome at Inuyasha and simply disappearing.
Inuyasha caught Kagome, right before she hit the ground, "Inuyasha...?", Kagome, murmured, confused.
"Kagome? Are you ok?" Inuyasha asked gently.
Kagome sat up, remembering what had happened, "Yea, I'm fine. All she did was run her fingers through my hair, and then dropped me."
"What's Naraku up to?" Inuyasha growled.
"Naraku? What's Naraku got to do with this?" Kagome asked, now she was really confused.
"I could smell that jerk on her, she's been talking to him," Inuyasha replied as he picked up Kagome and carried her inside.
"What happened?" Sango asked as Inuyasha set Kagome down.
"Tsubaki was just here. She grabbed Kagome, run her fingers through her hair, and dropped her, and Tsubaki smelled faintly of Naraku," Inuyasha explained.
"Why would Tsubaki do that? Why not kill Kagome when she had the chance?" Miroku pondered.
Inuyasha replied, "I don't know, but I don't like this. I have a bad feeling."
Back at Naraku's castle Tsubaki is talking with Naraku, "I have it. I have a strand of the girl's hair, but I still need two strands of Sesshomaru's," Tsubaki reported, kneeling in front of Naraku.
"Leave that up to me. You may go, for now," Naraku dismissed Tsubaki, and stared planning how to get Sesshomaru's hair.
Fuming, Tsubaki stormed to her room, 'Why did I agree to help the bastard? Oh yea...'
Flashback
"Because I need to kill the young miko that Inuyasha travels with, and you are going to help me," Naraku replied, "I need you to curse Inuyasha's older brother Sesshomaru, so that he falls in love with Kagome."
"And what makes you think I will help you? What's in it for me?" Tsubaki asked, suspicious.
"In return you will be able to reap your revenge on Kikyo. I plan to place a corrupt Shikon shard in her back, and once she is under my control, I will allow you to reap your revenge, any way you want," Naraku replied.
Tsubaki narrowed her eyes, trying to see if he was lying, "Fine, but I will need one strand of the girl's hair and two of the person you want me to curse."
End of Flashback
'Soon I shall be able to get back at Kikyo for ruining my life, for being chosen to protect the Shikon jewel, and for taking away my eternal beauty,' Tsubaki thought viciously to herself, a cruel smirk on her face.
