Summary: Sesshoumaru's view of Kagura's role in the last battle
Sesshoumaru could feel a change in the wind. Her scent was in the air. She had come at last. How appropriate that she should be here for Naraku's demise after the pain she had suffered when he had killed her. It was ironic that she would have a part in destroying the very personwho had disposed of her when he no longer had any use for her
The maelstrom swirled faster and faster. Sesshoumaru could see that Naraku was trapped in the eye of the hurricane. She ensured that Naraku would not escape in a cloud of miasma as he always had before. Instead her winds forced him to stay where the arrow which had pierced the jewel could purify him and all of his shouki and jyaki. Eventually, there would be nothing left but chaff which she would sweep away.
He could feel her gentle caress on his cheek. The warmth of her touch surprised him. Somehow it moved him. Was she thanking him for what he had done for her in coming to be with her as her body dissolved? Maybe she understood what she had meant to him.
Finally the winds subsided when nothing more remained of the once proud hanyou. There was only a gentle breeze. The air was fresh and clean again. Only a true being of nature like himself could appreciate what she had done. Nature was rid of his corruption and wind was free he knew she was smiling.
