*Flashback*

 

Kagura was so lost in her own thoughts trying to make sense of what she just heard that she did not hear Naraku walk towards the door.

 

He simply grabbed her arm and pulled her towards his dark office. The room had not seen the light of the sun in a long time, the desk and the bookshelves were of the darkest wood and the carpet was as red as blood.

 

Naraku set his burning red gaze on Kagura before saying in a highly amused tone “Kukuku Kagura being a bad girl now are we?”

 

Kagura's throat went dry she had never seen Naraku with such a murderous look in his eyes before not even when he would `punish' her. She had never really feared him even when he was beating her, after he would apologize and be so sweet that she could only forgive him.

 

But today was different, his eyes were different, she looked at him wearing as usual a purplish blue suit from top to bottom, his muscles were tensed as a beast ready to jump mercilessly on its desperately weak prey. Of course she refused to show him that she was intimidated by him and she could still not believe the man she loved to be such a monster. Sure he had flaws (major ones according to Miroku) but to the extent of being a murderer!

 

She asked him “did I hear you well? Did you kill this Musou guy just for his money and ordering a hit on a guy for one of your freakish baboon pelts! It's a joke right? A FUCKING JOKE!” she screamed more than asked.

 

Naraku looked highly amused when he answered “of course I wouldn't do such things my dear Kagu, now who do you take me for?”

 

Kagura looked relieved for a split second, which caused Naraku's smile to grow wider (which was barely possible), before he added “I can't dirty my hands now can I? I had him killed of course”.

 

At Kagura's look of horror the dark hanyou felt a shock of excitement and power run through his veins than he added “well I haven't seen you complaining of having money before” glancing at her car keys he added “it's not with your miserable job at that pathetic newspaper that you could afford one of these”.

 

The wind witch ran up to him and slapped him hard “I can't believe I fell in love with such a monster” she shot at him. Still smiling Naraku massaged the red hot mark on his cheek. He then raised his hand and slapped her back so hard that she felt air coming out of her lungs as she crashed against the wall of the dark office.

 

“I'm pregnant with your child you jerk” she screamed with teary eyes.

 

“Oh so that was the reason for the slight change in your scent. Anyway no matter, I could care less” he said with glowing blood red eyes and a sadistic smile.

 

“Don't you love me anymore” Kagura asked in a pleading voice a single tear streaming on her usually pale cheeks reddened by his blow and the emotions raging in her head.

 

“The question dearest should rather be `did you ever love me' then the answer would be, no. You were only a play thing rather interesting I must say, or a bed warmer if you prefer this term. Why do you think I never asked you to be my mate?”

 

Seeing Kagura sobbing still sitting on the floor where he threw her Naraku added “Don't worry Kagu you were not just my whore, you had other uses you know, having someone in the inner circle of the worlds' most powerful youkai newspaper came in handy they have such a great database. I am disappointed in you my love. Really, haven't you ever noticed the disappearance of your work ID?!”

Seeing more tears ppiuring from her red eyes he added “You also offered a nice cover for the outside world I must add. Everyone thinks we're the perfect couple, and they will be so pained to know you had to leave the city promptly due to your grandmother's illness…

 

“You just used me” Kagura cut him dumbstruck.

 

“Precisely” he answered glowing.

 

Naraku walked over to her and started patting her head he then said “don't worry I have enough feelings for you to make your death as painless as possible. After all we can't have you running to the cops or tell someone what you just heard or even worse go around giving me bastards, now can we?”

 

Naraku then took her right arm in his hand and held it tight to force her to her feet. Kagura winced in pain her vision still blurry from the tears.

 

The wind sorceress used her free arm and seemingly out of no where got her fan and screamed “Dance of blades” while wind blades caught a surprised Naraku she fled out of his office and ran outside and got to her car. She did hear Naraku yell rather than tell her three things before she could get away:

 

“Yes run it will only make the game even funnier, besides you can't leave me, you love me so much it's as if I was holding your heart in the very palm of my hand. And anyway you can't hide from me I have men everywhere we'll find you and make you regret the day you ever met me” he then laughed hysterically.

 

Kagura drove blindly until she ran out of gas; she then proceeded to walk and kept glancing worriedly behind her. As much as she wanted to she couldn't use her feather for fear of drawing too much attention.

She then threw her cell phone in a trash can and went to a phone booth to call the only person she could trust in the whole damn world: the lecher Miroku.

For two months with the help of Miroku she had escaped from Naraku's grip. Two weeks after she ran away he had found her and used some kind of demonic spell (which she was sure could have been lethal) luckily Miroku had been here and deflected the spell with his hand leaving a terrible wound, that still had not completely healed. A fragment of the spell did however also touch Kagura in the back and left a horrible spider shaped burn scar. They both got away miraculously.

 

Three months had gone by, Kagura was broke and living in a crappy motel room. That afternoon she had no idea how Naraku's men found her and who that amber eyed man really was. And this scared her more than anything.

Kagura once again woke up in the crimson bedroom. She could see the light rays of the sun coming through the thick red curtains.

 

“I see you're finally awake. You should stop being so reckless it is wasting this Sesshomarou's time” said a calm and deep voice from a dark corner of the room.

The Lord was sitting on a red velvety chair in the corner right in front of Kagura's bed.

She quickly started looking for her feathers, snapping her head from right to left and running her hands through her hair.

 

“Is this what you are looking for?” a slightly amused Sesshomarou asked while

Showing her the white and black feathers he was gripping tightly in his right hand.

 

“Give it back you bastard” hissed an enraged and frightened Kagura.

 

“While you were sleeping you said Naraku's name several times” he said ignoring her and set on getting some answers. He could not tell why but he felt intrigued, attracted as if he was bewitched by this woman he had watched over her until she woke up, he waited patiently watching her chest raise and fall down at a steady rate as she breathed. The only person that had ever been able to arouse such feelings in him was Rin. He could still remember the day he had found and rescued her.

 

“So what?!” the wind sorceress snapped still looking around pretending to be looking for a way out. The truth was that she knew he would not harm her, if he had wanted to he could have delivered her to Naraku a long time ago. Moreover he had healed her and there was something about him that made her peaceful in a way she had never felt before with a man (not even that lecher Miroku), it was as if his enormous demonic aura was enveloping around her and shielding her from the adversity of the outside world. She quickly tossed aside those stupid and ridiculous thoughts and focused on his next question.

 

“What exactly are your ties with Naraku” Sesshomarou asked.

 

He had long ago figured that she hated Naraku with a passion; in fact, she would always flinch at the simple mention of his name. Also based on what Doctor Suikotsu had said she was covered in bruises (which would have healed a long time ago if they had not been inflicted by a powerful demon) and she also had a giant spider shaped burn scar on her back and both proved a long history of abuse. While asleep she also screamed Naraku's name as she tossed and turned. At these moments he could smell fear on her.

 

Seeing his hard looking golden eyes soften ever so lightly, Kagura just broke down. All the tears she had kept inside all this time just came out. She was now crying hysterically, hiccupping. Sesshomarou was at a loss of words he did not know what to do he acted on instincts as he got up, placed an arm around Kagura's frail shoulders racked with tears. He unconsciously started patting her head. Kagura then did something that caused a look of utter surprise on the daiyoukai's handsome face: she hugged him tightly as if her dear life depended on it pouring her salty tears on his long silver hair and burying her face in the soft fur of his mokomoko wrapped around his right shoulder.

 

After a while (which felt like years to him) Kagura loosened her grip on the sleeves of his white pull over. She was now feeling ashamed of her display of weakness, and when she got back to her senses she quickly jumped out of the bed. She turned her head and looked at the pale December sun setting up trough the window.

 

“I'm sorry I..I.. “ she stopped and continued on a faked cheerful tone “mood swings you know, pregnant females and their hormones, believe it or not but it's worse for us than for humans”.

 

“Here” Sesshomarou said as he handed her an immaculate white handkerchief with his name embroiled on, that he produced from his crispy white pants' pocket.

 

Kagura took the piece of soft cloth and peered at the name `Sesshomarou Inuyoukai' for a moment, as she discovered the identity of the man who took her in, she could not help but being equally surprised and amused. After al it's not everyday that a rich and handsome true demon lord saves you…

 

“You have yet to answer my questions” he said with a frown as she blew her nose loudly in his handkerchief `I sure hope she's not planning on giving it back now'.

 

“Why do you want to know, hein? What's in it for you?” she asked now somewhat calmed down.

 

“Fine I shall tell you…once you are done with your side of the story” he replied sitting back on the chair across from the bed and crossing his legs.

 

`I guess I have no choice but to trust him' she thought `but I wouldn't hurt to be sure about him. For all I know this could be one of Naraku's twisted plans, I know he has some pretty powerful friends and he could be one of them'.

 

She looked hard at his face, but he showed no emotion, she then decided to once again use his rage to take him out of his shell. This technique had proved very effective when looking for information when writing articles for Youkai Daily, of course she dealt with lesser demons who she could have dispatched with a flick of her fan but here…

 

She had no way to defend herself but was not afraid. “So, why are so interested in Naraku ? Are you looking for him? What can he get for you? Money? Power? Or maybe he's blackmailing you with a dirty little secret?” she asked, this time the look of disgust on his face at the mention of the dark hanyou did not escape her.

 

Once again his eyes flickered red; he stood up and slowly said “this Sesshomarou does not need despicable half breeds, only himself. I will ask only once more: why is he after you?”

 

She than sighed heavily and said out loud “fine I'll tell you everything and you will tell me why you hate Naraku that much” he growled and Kagura took this as a yes.

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…
