Ch. 17.
Kagome and Sesshomaru ran to the battlements to see who dared disturb their time with their family. What they saw even made Kagome want to throw up. Outside the bodies of all of the guards that were on duty that night were dead. She could see and smell blood everywhere.
At the epicenter of the death and destruction stood a pretty young woman wearing a black and green kimono with blood red eyes and a feather in her hair. Kagome let out a low deep growl when she smelled Naraku on her. "Who are you and why did you kill my guards."
The other girl just smirked "So you are the demoness that my lord has been so obsessive about. You may call me Kagura the wind sorceress." Kagome bared her teeth "Well Kagura who is your master? Your scent is that of Naraku." Kagura just laughed "Wow bravo Kagome you figured it out. Yes I serve Naraku and he has sent me to kill you now DANCE OF BLADES".
She waved her hand which held a fan and whip like winds were sent to Kagome who blocked them with her twin swords. Kagome glared at her "How dare you try to come here and kill me and my family. Your lord is a dirty low life. I wont kill you but I want you to deliver a message. I want you to tell that low life idiot that he will never win."
With those words she sent an attack of her blade kiteramaru at the wind sorceress forcing her into the air and she waited till she heard the telltale boom of the girl landing from her brief flight.
Meanwhile
Naraku hissed with anger when he saw all of this through the mirror of a young albino girl with black eyes. He looked at the girl "Kanna go get your older sister. That bitch is going to pay for hurting my child. I think I will pay a little visit to her after you return with Kagura now go." Kanna nodded and left to get her big sister wondering what her father was going to do to Kagome.
Back at the palace
Kagome was knashing her teeth at the loss of many good soldiers. When Rin and Shippou tried to see what happened she growled at them in a warning to stay inside. They did recognizing that she didn't want them to see whatever horrors were outside.
The young demoness ordered the servants to gather up the bodies and to burn them individually and put the ashes in little pots so they will always be remembered. Sesshomaru helped them and wrapped his arms around Kagome protectively while she tried to remain strong in front of everyone.
She knew that this wasn't the end of things so she went to talk to Kouga her general about security. She had a suspicion he would try to either hurt her or Sesshomaru or even the children so she wanted to be prepared for the worst.
A/N Wow I have certainly been on a role lately. I guess its because of my lovely reviewers. Please continue writing them. That's what helps bring out the chapters faster. I am not sure how I did with this one.
