Reflection.
(a few hours later)
Naraku kept an eye on Kara as she played outside. He had lifted the miasma so that she could breath better. He thought about Sayuri and when he would see her again. Strangely his stomach would be butterflies when he thought of the woman.
He noticed that Kohaku was back from his errand. "Kohaku" he called. The said boy came over to Naraku and bowed "well..." he asked
"The monks questioned Sayuri for the time that i was gone. They've finally left her alone, but left her beaten due to the lightning bolts." he reported. Naraku silently growled "thank you Kohaku. Keep Kara busy for me would you?" he asked as he stood up. Kohaku nodded and went over to the little girl "hello" he said. Kara looked up to him and smiled. He sat down next to her "Master Naraku told me to watch you. What do you wanna do?" he asked. Kara grinned and tapped his nose and ran away, Kohaku got the idea and ran after her...
(Naraku's room)
"Kagura. I have a task for you" Naraku said. Kagura frowned "what is it now?" she asked rudley
"inuyasha's wench holds a few sacred jewels. I need you to fetch them for me"
Kagura mumbled under her breath as she stomped out. Naraku sighed "it'd be better if i just kill that wench" he said referring to Kagura. He heard Kohaku shouting from outside his window. He opened it slightly and noticed the said boy walking around "Kara. Come out come out wherever you are" he called.
Naraku rose an eyebrow "where is she hiding?" he mumbled. He looked up when he spotted her, hanging upside down on the roof. "careful Kara" he said. Kara looked at him and smiled. She let her legs loose and flipped forward.
Kohaku yelped in fright when Kara landed on his back. He huffed "ok, you win Kara" he said with a smile. Kara smiled and rolled off him. "bring her in Kohaku and fetch her something to eat" Naraku ordered. Kohaku nodded and led her inside the castle.
'why am i even doing this? looking after a small child, i must be going soft' he thought.
Kohaku returned with Kara a while later and left. Kara sat next to Naraku as he stared out the window. He glanced at her "you don't do much do you?" he asked. Kara remained silent but shook her head. Naraku sighed "you know, you'll have to talk sooner or later" he said. Kara turned away from him and shook her head.
Naraku opened his mouth, but it shut when Kagura slid the door open and walked in. She tossed two jewel shards to Naraku "there that wasn't so hard was it Kagura?" he said with a smirk. Kagura glared at him "I was caught in Inuyasha's blasted wind scar and it hurt" she spat. Naraku chuckled "but your alive aren't you?" he mocked. Kagura whipped out her fan and glared at him "That's because you have my heart in your grasp" she hissed.
Kara watched the two argue back and fourth 'i wonder if their like that alot' she thought
Kagura looked over at the child beside him "still have the kid i see. I'm surprised that you haven't killed her already" she said. Kara glared at the wind demon and stuck her tonge out.
"i'd pull that back in unless you want to loose it kid" Kagura hissed. Kara quickly pulled it back in and hid behind Naraku, beginning to be scared of the woman. Naraku put a hand on her head "it's ok Kara, i won't let the bad lady take your tounge" he said.
Kagura huffed and left the room. Kara blew a raspberry when she left, making Naraku chuckle.
"you know, i was meant to ask you. What sort of demon are you?" he asked. Kara smiled and stood up. She pointed to the small tiara that rested on her forehead, to indicate that it has something to do with her powers.
Naraku watched carefully as she closed her eyes and crossed her arms. A small rod appeared on her tiara and sparks of lightning appeared on it. She spread her arms out and sent a bolt of lightning out the window (which was open)
"ah...a little lightning demon i see" he said.
Kara also showed him that she could control other elements too. So therefore she was a element demon.
She soon fell fast asleep in the corner of the room. Naraku walked over to her and gently picked her up and placed her on the bed. He pulled the covers over her and he himself slept near the window. Tomorrow he would see Sayuri again and strangly enough.
He was looking forward to it
