The scent is upon the wind,
Sesshomaru�s nose picking it up immediately.�
Golden eyes shifted to the direction it was coming from, a small scowl
appearing on his face.� It was definitely
Naraku�s miasma he smelled, but there was something� different about it.� Only a moment of reflection had him moving swiftly toward that smell, for not only was it
the deadly poison but there was also a hint of blood and death within the air.

//Fly, fly little wing/Fly beyond imagining/The softest
cloud, the whitest dove/Upon the wind of heaven�s
love//

It confused the dog lord a little
at why he was being drawn; however he was passed denying his emotions.� As much as he didn�t like it, Sesshomaru felt
things, and he definitely felt he would not completely like what he would find
at the end of this scent.
A gentle breeze caressed his skin
as the dog came to a meadow, bright flowers blossoming and spreading their
sweet smell in the air.� Birds danced in
the sky; a few feathers floating delicately to the ground and Sesshomaru
quickly caught sight of the wind sorceress sitting amongst the petals.� Her face was contorted into what the dog lord
perceived to be pain as Naraku�s miasma was quickly eating away at her
body.� However, her expression slowly
melted into sadness, her magenta eyes gazing at the meadow before her.
She was near death, this much Sesshomaru
knew, and it occurred to him that she truly did not want to die alone.� He walked toward her, leaving the trees to
stand merely a few feet from her.

//Past the planets and the stars/Leave this lonely world of
ours/Escape the sorrow and the pain/And fly again//

Kagura raised her head, although it
seemed to take a little effort, and her eyes widened in shock.� They sparkled with an unasked question, the
dog lord wondering if she had lost the strength to speak.
�I came following the scent of
Naraku�s miasma,� Sesshomaru explained calmly, golden orbs watching intently as
the dying demon�s lips curled into a small, sad smile.
She laughed a bit, looking away and
whispered, �Did I disappoint you?� That I
wasn�t Naraku.�
The dog lord paused; it made sense
that she would think such a thing.� That
accursed half demon had been Sesshomaru�s prey for some time, now.� He gazed at Kagura for another moment,
lightly wondering why that saddened expression bothered him.
�I knew it was you,� he answered at
last.� It was a simple matter to decipher
exactly whose scent it was he�d smelled on the wind.� Although Naraku�s scent was nauseating, the
smell surrounding the wind sorceress was different.� She had the aroma of the cleanest air,
something the dog lord couldn�t find anywhere he traveled, not even on the
tallest mountain.

//Fly, fly precious one/Your endless journey has begun/Take
your gentle happiness/Far too beautiful for this/Cross over to the other
shore/There is peace forevermore/But hold this mem�ry bittersweet/Until we
meet//

Kagura�s eyes widened once more and
she tilted her head to gaze at him for a long moment.� Another breeze brushed passed them, kicking
up loose flower petals and seemed to be trying to erase the odor of the miasma
as it leaked from the wind sorceress� body.
After a few quiet moments, she
looked away again, whispering, �I�see�.�
Sesshomaru�s golden orbs were
locked onto her, his hand absentmindedly reaching for Tenseiga.� Even before his claws touched the hilt, the
sword pulsed in a mournful way and the dog lord could not see the little
emissaries from the afterlife.� �Tenseiga can�t save her,� he realized,
dropping his hand from the sword of healing.
Feeling began swirling to life
within his chest; it was heavy, chilling, and not at all comfortable.� He wondered a brief moment what it was, but
the smell of the miasma grew and he could see the wind sorceress growing
weaker.� ��you leaving?� he asked, not
really knowing what else could be said.
�Yeah,� Kagura replied, voice frail
and soft, �soon.�

//Fly, fly do not fear/Don�t waste a breath, don�t shed a
tear/Your heart is pure, your soul is free/Be on your
way, don�t wait for me//

Sesshomaru heard steps from behind
him, the scents following indicating that his brother and his friends had arrived,
although his gaze never left the woman in front of him.� Something told him not to miss it; he was to
witness every last moment this demon was to have in this world.� The heavy feeling within his chest grew,
however, with each passing instant.
As the miasma grew, Kagura lifted
her head to lock her eyes with the dog lord, lips spreading into a smile.� The feeling pulsed painfully at seeing that, but
he showed no signs he�d felt anything.� �Why smile?� he inwardly wondered.� �Is she
happy that I came, that she saw me?�
In that moment, her body burst and
the miasma quickly ate the flesh away and a great gust of wind blew through the
meadow.� Sesshomaru gazed at the
retreating petals for a moment before starting to leave; he had watched the
wind sorceress die, as it seemed his heart wanted of him, but the darkness
within him refused to dissipate and her smiling lips kept flashing across his
mind.

//Above the universe you�ll climb/On beyond the hands of
time/The moon will rise, the sun will set/But I won�t
forget//

�If that�s what she wanted,� he concluded, �then she died without any regrets.�
�Wait a minute, Sesshomaru!�
Inuyasha barked, the older dog demon stopping his steps.� No doubt, they�d probably want more
information on what had transpired here, but Sesshomaru wasn�t so sure he�d
answer them.
�Inuyasha?� the reincarnated
priestess questioned.
�Was Kagura�,� the half dog
growled, lowering his voice to whisper, �suffering?�
Sesshomaru turned his head toward
the breeze, looking up to spot a single feather, still smelling of the cleanest
air floating on the wind.� It drifted
over them before being carried away, and to the dog lord it was almost as if�
Kagura was saying a final farewell.
The darkness pulsed.
�She was smiling�.�� Sesshomaru�s voice had been soft as her face
came into his mind again and he walked away, leaving his brother and company to
sort it out on their own.� The heaviness in his chest was becoming hard
to control and he would not lose his composure in front of anyone.
As the meadow was left behind him,
once more a gust of wind caressed his face and he turned into it.� His eyes saw the feather again and he gazed
at it for a few moments, watching as it danced in the air.� �You
are truly free now,� his mind whispered; the feather floating away a minute
later.
�Farewell,� Sesshomaru whispered,
expression turning to sadness as he watched the feather disappear in the
distance, ��Kagura.�

//Fly, fly little wing/Fly where only angels sing/Fly away,
the time is right/Go now, find the light//

A/N: This is somewhat of a companion piece to go with a
movie I made, which is up on YouTube.�
The song is �Fly� by Celine Dion and the dialog
was taken from the IProject scanlation
of chapter 374 of the manga.� If you�ve got a bit of time, after leaving a
little review, would you check out the video?�
Here�s the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gaRAsIWVgQ� It�s my first try at
a manga-collage-type video, so please be nice!� A review here would be appreciated as well;
thank you!!� -Luv,
