A reversal of roles

 

 

 

Kagura paced outside the castle, nervous. They needed to be here, now. There was a short window, and then Naraku would be searching for them himself. If they weren't here soon, then everything that had been planned out would be wasted.

 

Finally, after a few minute minutes of paces, she heard the gentle wing flaps and saw Ryu. In his arms he carried Sango, Neko rode on his back as he glided towards them. Sango wiggled and landed, her tail acting like a cushion to soften the blow. Neko shifted as Ryu landed, holding onto him as if she were getting a piggy back ride.

 

All of a sudden, being surrounded by these 10 foot demons, Kagura felt very small. Sure, she was powerful, but they still had more of it.

 

But not for long. Soon…we'll all be equals in this game…and to think, all it cost me to finally get a shard was to convince Lord Naraku to see them.

 

“I trust we haven't missed our meeting?” Sango asked.

 

Kagura raised an eyebrow. Seemed the newest member of Ryu's clan was fast getting use to her position.

 

I still can't believe that this snake demon is the great Sango, the demon hunter. Those two…they will be well worth the ordeal of getting a meeting with Naraku set up. All of us will benefit from this.

 

“No, but we must hurry. Lord Naraku can't be left waiting.”

 

“Of course.” Ryu said, his voice on edge. “lead the way.”

 

Kagura nodded, and lead them into Naraku's current castle. They moved through the gate, not even bothering to look around. A good thing too, since Naraku wasn't known for having a lot of paintings and things just laying about. The real interesting stuff was down below…and if you were seeing that, then you were either a puppet of Naraku…or that was the last thing you saw.

 

“Never thought I would actually be in this castle and not have to worry about Naraku actually attacking me.” Sango said quietly.

 

Neko smirked. “Oh, you still have to worry about him attacking, if we don't have the perfect meeting.”

 

Sango chuckled, but her eyes were dark. “how do you think those former friends of mine will react when they learn about this?”

 

“They will freak out….and be jealous they didn't do this sooner.” Sango nodded, her body sliding along the floor. “Don't be nervous…we are right here with you.”

 

Sango nodded. “Thank you Neko…glad to know that I have an ally I can trust fully, for once.”

 

Ryu shook his head. “You had an ally…and she will see the error of her ways.”

 

Sango nodded, her demonic eyes flashing. Soon Kirara…we'll be together again, ready for battle. I'll get you back…and with this new clan, we will bring this world to it's knees. I swear ,after this meeting…I am coming for you

 

^&^&^&^

 

Naraku frowned as Kagura entered his chambers. She nodded, and waited for him to say something

 

“No bow Kagura? Do you forget who you serve?”

 

Kagura growled. “You, and only you.”

 

“and why is that?”

 

“because you could kill me at any chance.”

 

Naraku nodded. “What is it…come to tell me that this Dragon Lord and his partner aren't here?”

 

“They have arrived sir. Ryu, the Dragon Lord, Neko, his lover, and their new follower.”

 

Naraku frowned. “Kill them.”

 

“My lord?”

 

“I told them to come before 11. It is almost midnight. I can not be bothered with such things. Take them to the dungeons and get rid of them, and leave me be for the rest of the night.”

 

Kagura merely nodded, deciding not to argue, and left the room. Naraku frowned. It was a pity. He had so wanted to meet this demon that all the world was talking about. He had heard from his spies he had taken one of Inuyasha's friends…in what form, he had no clue, but it didn't matter. If he were so curious, he could have Kagura keep Ryu alive, kill the two with him, and find out himself.

 

He let out a grunt, feeling his skin bubble. Maybe, had it been any other night, he would have let Ryu in with only a warning and the murder of his servant…but tonight was different.

 

Tonight, Naraku went through his transformation. He would be left human, weak and unable to move, for many hours, till the sun rose. He had managed to hold it off, but he had chosen tonight, and had to stick with it. When he was back to his demon form, he would be stronger, and finally ready to attack that damn hanyou.

 

As the first part of his skin flopped off his body, the door opened and Kagura entered.

 

“What is the matter!” He shouted. Kagura knew better then to bother him while he was changing on this night.

 

“They are demanding to see you!”

 

Naraku's eyes went wide. “They missed the meeting, now kill them!”

 

“Actually,” Ryu said, entering the room and staring down at the hanyou monster. His eyes had a dark glint of pure hatred and malice “We are right on time.”

 

Ryu had never gotten over Naraku's attack on Neko.

 

Naraku groaned as more flesh fell away. “what…what are you doing? Who do you think you….” He froze when he saw Sango in. “What did you do to the demon hunter?” He said, shocked

 

Sango smiled, baring hr fangs. “There is no time to explain…they right now are giving me a gift…a present for my first day as the new me.”

 

Neko walked around the demon and nodded. “you….”

 

“…Dead.” Ryu added. Naraku looked at him, eyes wide as the last of his body fell off, leaving him human; weak and prone to attack. Ryu growled happily.

 

“Kaguraaaaaa!” He screamed as Kagura reached into his chest and removed a heart…her heart.

 

“Sorry Lord Naraku…but I know the winning team.” She stepped back as Ryu, Sango and Neko all moved in. Naraku was too weak to move, his broken human body only able to sense. They bared their fangs and laughed, moving in closer.

 

“No…get away…no….”

 

Sango smiled. “Beg Naraku…because when we are done with you…you'll wish we had killed you quicker.” Kagura sat down as the three demons pounced upon the mortal, the sound of breaking bones and flesh being torn from his body echoing through the castle.

 

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!” Naraku screamed, then never spoke again.
