   The briefest moment when time had stood completely still, hanging frozen in the air like an icicle. Blue-grey eyes met magenta ones as a slightly hesitant voice spoke up from in front of her.
  "Why don't you stay with us? Naraku can't get to you very easily here."
    A lump of unfamiliar emotion caught and choked her. Ever since that wretched day she had been created, she had only done things she had been commanded and things to suit herself. The feather was in her fingers as she tore her gaze away and spoke.
  "I will be fine. I don't need protection."
  As the winds carried her off, Kagura looked back and watched the melancholy and anxious eyes of that girl follow her.
   'For the first time, I have been given a gift and yet, it is the one I cannot accept.'
   Even when she knew she was to be killed by Naraku for her betraying nature, the memory of how one girl named Kagome had given her her first and final gift with only six words.
