Ch. #3

“Kagura. What’s the matter? You look like you’re in pain. Wasn’t it you who wanted to kill
me so badly?” Naraku said with a smirk.

Kagura seethed with anger. ‘Okay, that’s it! My body may be wrecked right now, but
there’s no way I’m going to just sit here and listen to this b*****d mock me,’ she thought.

“Shut the hell up! You think I care that you still have my heart? Remember this Naraku--I
control my life and no damned b*****d has the right to dictate it!” she yelled.

Naraku laughed. “Is that so? I wonder…will you feel the same way when your puny heart
gets crushed by my hands?”

Kagura glared at Naraku.

‘Damn him! He just loves to mess with people’s emotions’ she thought, ‘Now what? I’m
as good as dead if I don’t think of something quick.’

However, her thoughts ceased as she helplessly watched Naraku begin squeezing her
heart.

Kagura clenched her chest and groaned at the pain.

Naraku squeezed her heart harder and harder without end.

He laughed as he watched Kagura writhe and whimper from the torture.

“You can never hope to kill me!” Naraku said.

Naraku put more pressure on Kagura’s heart. Kagura was able to see the blood begin to
flow out of her heart.

‘I can’t…take…this anymore’, she thought.

Kagura was panting now and she was beginning to lose consciousness. That’s when
she noticed something strange. For a brief moment, the reality she knew seemed to fade
in and out of existence.

‘Something’s not right here. I could have sworn that b*****d disappeared for a second,’

she thought.

Her mind flashed back to the words Byakuya stated earlier: ‘To answer your question

since it seems so important to you, Naraku is unaware that I’m here with you.’

Kagura’s eyes widened upon realization of what this could mean.

‘Then…could this whole thing be an illusion?’ she thought.

More blood leaked from her heart and a sharp pain caused Kagura to cry out.

‘If this is an illusion, then why am I able to feel pain?’ she thought, ‘Unless--unless this is

one of Byakuya’s abilities.’

She had to test it out for herself.

Kagura aimed her fan in the direction of her heart.

She decided that the only way to break free of the illusion was to destroy the object that
was most dear to her.

“Dance of Blades!!” Kagura said.

She shut her eyes, awaiting any impending doom that might befall her.

The wind blades caused her heart to split in two.

The illusion was broken and reality returned.

*************************************

The eye in Byakuya’s hand suddenly exploded.

“Shoot!”Byakuya yelled in disgust.

Kagura slowly opened her eyes.

‘Did I do it?’ she thought to herself.

She felt for her heart and sighed in relief when she felt the familiar thumps in her chest.

‘I was right!’ she thought.

Byakuya looked towards Kagura and started clapping.

“Bravo! I must say, I am quite surprised…I never thought that someone like you would
be able to break free of my illusion,” he said, “No matter, I’ll just have the pleasure of
killing you by my hands.”

Kagura glared at Byakuya, but when she tried to move, her wounds caused her to
double-over in pain.

“S**t!! I forgot…I’m wounded,” she said.

Byakuya didn’t wait for an invitation. He shot vines toward Kagura, making her fall
backwards off her feather.

As Kagura was falling, she could hear Byakuya shouting “Enjoy your trip!” on her way
down.

Kagura was falling headfirst to a most certain death.

She closed her eyes and braced herself for impact.

‘I guess this is it…’ she thought.

However, a strong arm caught her before she met her fate.

Kagura opened her eyes to find out that it was none other than Sesshomaru that had
come to her rescue.

His arm was wrapped around her waist and she was resting against his warm body.

“Sesshomaru…you came…”Kagura said weakly.

Sesshomaru looked towards Byakuya and said, “I take it that he’s the guy that did this to

you.”

Kagura widened her eyes at his comment.

‘This is so unlike him…but… it’s not like I’m going to argue,’ she thought.

“Yeah, that’s the b*****d alright. He’s another detachment of Naraku’s and my
replacement,” she said.

Sesshomaru nodded in response.

Kagura spotted a two-headed dragon demon carrying a little girl and a green imp on its
back in the sky.

“Lord Sesshomaru!!” Rin exclaimed.

Jaken was not as enthusiastic. “And the wench,” he said.

Sesshomaru looked over towards Jaken and said, “Jaken. Take Rin and Kagura and
go.”

“Oh!! Yes of course, Lord Sesshomaru, “Jaken said.

He did not want to be on his master’s bad side.
Sesshomaru placed Kagura on the dragon.

However, she was not so accepting.

“Hmph!! I can take care of myself. I don’t need this fool to watch over me.” she said,
daring anyone to argue with her answer.

But when she tried to move, a sharp pain in her abdomen caused her to wince.

“S**t!! Not again!!”she said.

She looked over at Sesshomaru, whose clothes were covered in blood from her wounds.

“Do you still think that you are able to continue battling?” Sesshomaru asked with a air of
amusement in his voice.

For a moment, their eyes met, but Kagura quickly averted her eyes when she noticed.

“Fine, I’ll go,” she said begrudgingly.

Ah-Un took the three of them away from Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru flew up towards Byakuya.

“I see now,” Byakuya said with a smirk, “So you’re the one who saved Kagura from dying
earlier. You, who carries the Tenseiga, a healing sword. Very interesting…this I’ll have to
report to Naraku.”

Sesshomaru didn’t care to listen.

He slashed at Byakuya with his poison claws causing Byakuya‘s body to disintegrate.
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes.

Byakuya’s voice could still be heard: “Unfortunately, I have to go before Naraku gets
angry at me. You see, I still have work to do. Until, next time…”

Then, the voice was gone.

Sesshomaru went back towards the location in which Rin, Jaken, and Kagura were
residing.
