Chapter 2

Kagura and Sesshoumaru’s Unsettling Encounter

After that night together, Kagura and Sesshoumaru parted ways, the next morning before the sun rose. Kagura got on her feather and flew off quickly, not wanting Naraku to find out where she had been. Too much suspicion would arise if she was gone for long. He would then, have Kanna check on Kagura with her mirror.

Sesshoumaru, on the other hand, was thoroughly confused on his thoughts. Was he in his right mind that night? He always taught himself to believe that emotions were for weak mortals.

‘What ailed me that night? Is it possible, that even I, Sesshoumaru, can succumb to the feeble emotion of love? For that incarnation of Naraku, no less,’ Sesshoumaru thought angrily. He was walking along with Jaken and Rin on Au-Un at his side. His head was fogged with thought, though his expression remained covered in his cold mask. He was currently traveling with his group towards the Inu-Tachi.

“Sesshoumaru-sama,” Jaken, called, breaking his lord out of the cycle of confusion; the emotion he was not used to. Therefore he hated it. Honestly, Sesshoumaru was relieved that something else could call to his attention, but his expression showed otherwise.

“What is it Jaken,” Sesshoumaru demanded, in his monotone voice, making Jaken shiver in fear. His gold eyes glanced below him at his servant.

“Where are we heading milord,” the imp youkai asked, bravely, steeling himself for the blow he would receive for asking such a stupid question.

“Is it not obvious? We are headed for my half-breed brother’s group,” Sesshoumaru responded in a annoyed voice. Sesshoumaru continued walking ahead, leaving Jaken behind, shocked. For his lord did not inflict any sort of pain upon him!

‘Something must be troubling Sesshoumaru-sama. He usually would hit me for asking obvious questions like that,’ Jaken concluded in his mind. He was broken out of his thoughts when Rin called for him. He looked up and saw the rest, leaving him behind, as usual. “Sesshoumaru-sama, don’t leave me behind!” He ran with the Nintoujou staff in his hand and because of him rushing, it caused him to trip over the staff a few times.

******With Kagura******

‘Damn Naraku! What does he want me to do now,’ the Wind Witch demanded in her mind. Earlier in the day, Naraku beckoned her to go back to his castle by sending his Saimyoushou to her location.

She was currently flying on her giant feather to her master’s castle. She thought back to last night’s events and it brought a wistful smile to her lips. ‘Sesshoumaru actually listened to me. He sat down beside me and talked with me over things I thought he cared nothing for. Is he starting to like me more,’ Kagura asked inside her head. As she approached Naraku’s castle, she silenced her thoughts, for fear that Naraku would find her behaving strangely.

She landed and the feather was placed back into her hair. She entered the castle and walked to where she smelled the stench of her master; the one hanyou she despised more than anyone else alive or dead for that matter.

“Kagura, I‘ve been expecting you,” Naraku said in his cruel tone, which made Kagura mentally wince in fear.

“What do you want me for now, Naraku,” Kagura asked, trying to sound brave and annoyed at the same time. She narrowed her red eyes at him.

He only smirked in response. “I need you to go find Inuyasha’s group and tell them of my new plan.”

“And this is useful because,” she asked in her tired tone.

This caused him to glare at her. ’I grow tired of Kagura’s insolence. It will only be a matter of time before I can permanently silence her. Until these tasks are completed, however, she will be of use to me,’ he thought in his mind. “Kagura, you dare to question my motives? Need I remind you that I hold your heart in my hand,” he sneered, making her heart appear in his hand on cue. Her eyes widened in horror.

“N…no Naraku…” she stuttered out, hating the pain he caused her, when he squeezed her heart.

He smirked at her fear. “Very well then. Go and carry out my will. Sesshoumaru is currently headed for Inuyasha and I want you to confront them both.” She had to keep herself from gasping.

‘’Kuso! Sesshoumaru! What does he want me to do,’ Kagura demanded in her scared and now, worried mind.

He continued,” I shall send Kanna out with you to make sure you do not betray my wishes. One more mistake and you will die,” he threatened.

She nodded her head weakly. “I will do as you asked,” she responded, the sarcasm lost in her tone. Kanna appeared beside her out of nowhere. Both incarnations walk out of his castle after hearing the tasks he wanted them to do for him. Kagura, once again, pulled a feather out of her hair and used her fan to propel the wind it needed to transform into a giant feather that would carry them both.

After she was a safe distance away, she cursed,” Damn that bastard! If only I were free, I would make him pay dearly!” Kanna only stared blankly at her younger sister, holding her mirror as if it contained her life within it. “I wonder how you can stand serving under him,” she wondered out loud to her sister.

Kanna did not respond as Kagura expected. Due to Kagura’s anger, the wind pushed her feather faster than usual. “You care for Sesshoumaru,” Kanna said out of nowhere.

“What did you say,” Kagura asked, shocked. Sweat appeared on her brow. ‘Dammit! If Kanna knows the truth, Naraku is bound to find out,’ Kagura cursed in her head.

“You like Sesshoumaru,” Kanna eerily repeated, scaring her sibling. Kanna was aware of the effect she was having on Kagura, but did not bring up the matter.

“That’s not true! How could I like that pompous bastard,” Kagura yelled, trying to lie. She knew it was futile.

“You do not want Naraku to find out,” Kanna only stated, delving deeper into her sister’s mind.

“And I imagine that you will tell Naraku,” Kagura demanded, not directly confessing her feelings toward the Taiyoukai. Kanna did not respond, making Kagura nervous. She continued, as if trying to convince Kanna to help her out,” You would betray your own sister?!”

Kanna only stared blankly ahead as her response. She was the only one Kagura knew to contain less emotion than Sesshoumaru. She knew it was hopeless to try to talk to her. ‘Great! Naraku only has to ask Kanna and she’ll spill it all. Will Naraku kill me for such an act,’ Kagura wondered, frantically.

She was approaching the group, Naraku sent her out for.

******With Inuyasha’s Group******

“Keh! Like I said, wench, you are not going back home! We’re already behind on jewel shard hunting because of your stupid ‘test’ things,” huffed a certain hanyou, walking ahead of the group and crossing his arms in his haori.

“OSUWARI! You insensitive baka,” shouted the only girl known to subdue him; Kagome. Down Inuyasha went, with the rosary, pulling him under, forming an Inuyasha-sized crater in the ground. The rest of the group sighed. That is, until a certain houshi groped a certain tajiya.

“HENTAI,” came Sango’s shout as she smacked Miroku.

“My dear Sango, I only saw dust and only thought it was fit to clean it off,” Miroku protested, feigning innocence. Miroku sighed and blissfully rubbed the new hand mark on his face after Sango let out an inhuman growl and walked off to the front of the group. Kirara and Shippou looked like the only sane ones out of the bunch.

The little kitsune mumbled under his breath,” I don’t understand adults.” He was currently perched on Kagome’s shoulder and she luckily didn’t hear him. Inuyasha picked himself out of the ground and glared at Kagome.

“What the hell was that for,” he stupidly asked, even though he knew very well what he did wrong. Everyone stopped.

“I can’t believe you actually asked that,” Kagome seethed. “I have to makeup so much work for school to better my future and you sit there and want me to hunt for jewel shards for you 24/7! I have a life you know!”

Inuyasha winced. Before he had a chance to respond, however , he caught the scent of his brother. He instinctively grabbed the hilt of Tessaiga and growled.

“Inuyasha,” Kagome asked, surprised in his change of moods. “What’s wrong?”

“Sesshoumaru,” the hanyou growled. Kirara growled along with him and turned into her bigger form. Sango and Miroku got into their battle stance.

As if on cue, the Taiyoukai appeared in front of him. “What the hell do you want,” demanded Inuyasha, holding the transformed Tessaiga out in front of him.

“Ah, nice to see you as well, little brother,” smirked the cold assassin. “Do you know any new information on Naraku?”

Inuyasha’s face twisted in confusion. ‘Funny, his scent is different than usual. I can’t quite place my finger on to who it is, thought it smells familiar,’ Inuyasha thought.

Sesshoumaru watched as Inuyasha smelled the air. ‘Kuso,' he said to himself. 'He can smell Kagura on my person.' Smirking he thought,' I'll just have to find a way to distract him then.'

“This Sesshoumaru asked you a question, Half-breed. Have you any new information,” Sesshoumaru repeated.

“Keh! Even if I did, what makes you think, I’d tell a bastard like you,” Inuyasha demanded, ready to strike at any moment.

Sesshoumaru's eyes narrowed in anger. “Insolent whelp,” he snarled,“ Know your place, and answer my questions, or prepare to have me take them from you in force.”

“I’d like to see you try,” Inuyasha shouted, charging at his brother at full force, Tessaiga held high.

Sesshoumaru just smirked as he watched Inuyasha run towards him. Using his demonic speed, he moved out of the way, with his claws extended, catching Inuyasha's shoulder. “I see that you still cannot use Father's fang properly. Maybe if your mother hadn't been human, you would have mastered it by now.”

The hanyou let out a low growl, before shouting back,” Shut the hell up, bastard!” He flipped backwards, out of Sesshoumaru’s grasp and unleashed his attack, yelling out,” KAZE NO KIZU!”

In the blink of the eye, Sesshoumaru had Tensaiga out before him, effectively blocking the attack. Before Tessaiga's attack finished, he was already rushing forward with another physical attack. “What's the matter pup? Don't have the strength to face me without Father's fang,” he said coolly, amused by the look of confusion on the hanyou's face.

Inuyasha held out Tessaiga to block Sesshoumaru’s energy whip. He then proceeded to place the sword into the ground, turning to Sesshoumaru. “I can fight you in any way and still kill you,” Inuyasha declared. Sesshoumaru smirked in satisfaction. His plan to distract Inuyasha had worked perfectly. It also gave him the added pleasure of finally being able to take Tessaiga away from the hanyou.

Kagome and the rest were shocked at Inuyasha’s rashness. “What does Inuyasha think he’s doing?! He’s going to turn into his full-demon state without Tessaiga,” Kagome exclaimed.

Inuyasha charged at his brother, his claws bared, shouting,” SANKON TESSOU!” Sesshoumaru just moved out of the way of Inuyasha's claws and jumped up behind him. Calling forth his energy whip once more, he sent it flickering towards Inuyasha's unprotected back. The hanyou took a direct hit and it sends him to his knees in pain and shock.

“INUYASHA,” Kagome shouted. The hanyou turned to look at her, silently telling her to stay out of the way. The girl reluctantly agreed, tears shining in her eyes.

Reaching forth, Sesshoumaru grabbed the hair at the nape of Inuyasha’s neck. Twisting cruelly he, pulled the hanyou's head back to look into the golden eyes that matched his own. “I see you have finally learned which one of us is Master,” Sesshoumaru whispered evilly. “I like seeing you on your knees worshipping me.”

“Fuck you,” Inuyasha spat back. All of a sudden, Sesshoumaru caught the scent of the woman he spent time with, only yesterday.

Kagura tilted her head back and laughed,“ What's the matter? The great Lord of the Dogs, not willing to share his play time?” The smirk on her face almost became a real smile as she gazed upon the two brothers. Kagura landed on the ground, from her feather. Kanna landing silently beside her sister, still holding her soul-sucking mirror.

“What’s Kagura and Kanna doing here,” Sango whispered to Miroku on the sidelines. She held her Hiraikotsu, ready to attack, when necessary.

“Your guess is as good as mine,” the monk answered back.

Back to the main battlegrounds, Sesshoumaru growled low in his throat, not letting go of his brother. “What do you want this time, bitch,” he snarled at her.

Kagura took a look of hurt, but quickly sneered, covering up emotions. “Sesshoumaru, nice to see you too.”

Inuyasha jabbed his elbow upwards, catching Sesshoumaru by surprise. He pulled his hair away and turned to glare at his brother. His glare formed into a dangerous smirk. “I figured out why you smelled odd. So would you like to tell me just why the fuck you smell like that bitch,” he questioned.

The rest of the Inu-Tachi gasped. Sesshoumaru's golden eyes went even colder then normal, before he turned and walked away from them all. Kagura also glared at Inuyasha before transforming her gaze to Sesshoumaru. “What's the matter Sesshoumaru-Sama? Don't you want to hear what Naraku has to say? It's not like I came searching for you for any other reason.” She smirked when Sesshoumaru stopped and slowly turned back to her meeting and holding her gaze with a cold stare of his own.

“This Sesshoumaru would like to know why you sought him out again,” Sesshoumaru demanded in a bored tone.

“What do you think? It's not like I want to be around him. I came to you when I found out something that could end his life for good. I want to see that bastard rot in hell as much as you two do,” Kagura responded as she glared at the Taiyoukai. Her expression turned into a smirk once again, as she taunted him,“ Of course if you would rather I leave.…”

“Speak. This Sesshoumaru is losing his patience with you imbeciles,” the Taiyoukai growled.

Kagura looked both brothers over. When her eyes reached Inuyasha, her smirk turned into a grin. “At the next New Moon, Naraku will become vulnerable.” Everyone’s eyes widened. Even Sesshoumaru seemed a little surprised at this information, but his facial expression remained the same. The Cold Lord responded by walking off after nodding his head toward her, silently giving her his gratitude.

“Keh! Why the hell should we believe you,” Inuyasha demanded, Tessaiga back in his hands and pointed at her. She only shrugged her shoulders and took to her giant feather. Kanna, who was silently witnessing all of this, jumped onto the feather, following her sister.

“Believe me or not, I do not care. If you wish to find him, look to the North,” Kagura responded, annoyed. She propelled her feather out of the area as fast as she could. After a few miles away, when she was sure she was out of hearing distance, she sighed heavily. Her eyes looked troubled.

Kanna had no emotion on her face, but said simply,” Kagura, you did well.”

Kagura took this time not to respond. ‘I’m sorry Sesshoumaru,’ came the only thought from her mind. She growled in her subconscious,’ Damn you Naraku! I’ll kill you even if it means my own life.’
