“Grrr… that bitch!” Naraku roared. “How dare she go against me!” ‘But he would have her. Oh yes he would. And when he did he would show her what happened to those who defied him! Well not exactly’, he thought. ‘Normally those who dared defy me would die a slow, painful death. Not her though. Oh no, I will show her pain yes. Great pain!’ he laughed thinking of all the ways he could inflict pain on his pet.
Kagura shivered at the sound of her masters exceptionally evil laugh. “This can’t be good” she whispered softly.
Chapter 7 – Pain and death.
Small feet carried the curious little girl quickly to her destination. When she finally reached her destination her small hands struggled to push the heavy door open. She was shocked by the sight that met her eyes. There on one of the beds laid the young lady who had saved her. That wasn’t what shocked her however. She had expected the lady to be there. That was after all why she had come to the medical room.
No, what shocked her was that the pretty lady (for Rin believed she was very pretty) was writhing and groaning. When our precious little Rin moved closer she could see the lady’s face was contorted in what even she, at her young age knew to be pain.
Rin immediately turned and called for the healer. “DAICHI! COME QUICK! THE LADY IS HURT!” Only seconds later Daichi rushed towards Kiara’s side. After looking her over for a few seconds he turned to Rin. “Rin, go get Lord Sesshoumaru quick!” Rin didn’t have to be told twice and quickly dashed off to find her lord. Her small feet once more carried her as fast as they could to her lords study, where he would most likely be.

Sesshoumaru sat in his study trying to get some work done. However his mind kept wondering to the miko turning youkai. How was this possible? Where did Naraku get the power to turn a human, a miko no less, into a full blooded youkai? That was impossible, he thought. ‘Yet it is happening in my castle at this very moment’.
The stoic lord was forcefully pulled out of his thoughts as his door was pushed open. ‘Only Rin would sometimes forget to knock’, he thought as he looked up to see said girl now standing in his study with wide eyes and panting slightly.
“Lord Sesshoumaru!” she cried out frantically. Indicating to Sesshoumaru that something must be wrong. “What is it Rin?” he asked calmly. “The pretty lady who saved Rin!” the small girl blurted out. “She’s hurting! Daichi told me to get you!”
Sesshoumaru immediately got up and made his way over to the healing room as quickly as possible without looking like he was rushing of course. Rin followed quickly after her lord.

Kagome clung to Inuyasha as she rode his back, Shippou holding on to her shoulder. Kirara flew alongside them carrying Sango and Miroku. They had decided to head into the West in hopes of finding Sesshoumaru or at least a trace of him or Kiara. So here they where, rushing to the Western lands. Inuyasha had even said that he might be able to find his brothers castle. If he had kidnapped Kiara he would probably have taken her there he had said.
Kagome suddenly felt Inuyasha’s grip tighten on her thighs. “It will be alright Kagome”, he tried to reassure her. “We’ll find her, we won’t stop until we have!”
“But what if Naraku or even Sesshoumaru hurt her? What if we’re too late?” she asked in a weak shaky voice. “We’re not too late! Don’t say that!” Inuyasha ground out more harshly than he had meant. “I can’t help it Inuyasha, I’m so worried!” Inuyasha sighed “I know Kagome but we’ll find her I promise!” this time his voice was much softer than before. Kagome merely nodded as she tightened her grip on him as he jumped over a ridge.
They were making good progress when Inuyasha suddenly skidded to a halt. “What’s wrong Inuyasha?” Miroku asked calmly. “Naraku’s stench” was the growled answer from said hanyou. “SHOW YOURSELF!” Inuyasha shouted to the forest surrounding them.
They were met with a soft feminine laugh. “So feisty Inuyasha” Kagura said as she walked out of her hiding place. “I didn’t come to fight” she continued. “The one you seek resides at Sesshoumaru’s palace”.
“Yeah well we figured as much!” Inuyasha spat. He would have continued if it weren’t for the trembling hand on his arm. He turned to look at the owner of said hand “Kagome?” he asked uncertainly. She looked at him for a moment before returning her gaze to the wind-youkai. “Kagura, what has Naraku done to my cousin?” she asked carefully. “He turned her into a hanyou, then dumped her hoping that the rejection of both humans and demons would drive her back to him willingly”.
“How then did she end up with Sesshoumaru?” Miroku’s calm voice asked. “Humph” Kagura scoffed. “Apparently she saved the little girl’s life and got injured in the process. He must have felt indebted to her”. With that she threw her feather in the air, jumped on it and disappeared.
“Well that makes sense”, Miroku said. “Sesshoumaru is after all a very honourable being. He must have felt honour bound to help her”. Inuyasha scoffed “why would she tell us this?”. Miroku cupped his chin thinking for a bit. “Perhaps she doesn’t like Kiara being close to Sesshoumaru? She does seem to have a crush on him”.
“Humph, she must be insane to have a thing for my bastard half-brother!”
“Inuyasha?” Kagome spoke, softly. “Can we please hurry to Sesshoumaru’s castle?” Everyone nodded and so Kagome climbed on Inuyasha’s back, Shippou on her shoulder while Sango and Miroku climbed back onto Kirara’s back. And off they where once more, heading towards Sesshoumaru’s lands.

Daichi didn’t know what to do. The lady was obviously in pain, but he couldn’t tell what caused it. This was beyond his abilities. He had tried to calm his patient down, but to no avail. In fact, her condition only seemed to get worse. She was writhing and moaning in pain. Her face betrayed the sheer agony she was in. It was an awful sight to behold. Daichi had seen many things, but never had he seen anyone in this much pain before. He couldn’t even begin to fathom what she must be feeling. ‘Poor girl’ he thought.
Just then his Lord entered the room. His eyes widened slightly at the sight before him. ‘What on Earth could cause her this much pain?’ he wondered, for it was obvious, even to him, that she was in a great deal of pain. For a moment the thought of Naraku causing this past his mind, but his barrier was still intact so that was impossible. ‘What then?’ he thought as he made his way to the girl’s side.
Her frightened eyes were wide and filled with pain, her pupils dilated. Her breaths were ragged and obviously painful. Sesshoumaru could feel the fear and pain radiating off of the girl. He just couldn’t tell why and that aggravated him. ‘Were it her miko and newly gained youki fighting each other?’ he wondered. ‘But they were doing so earlier and she wasn’t in this much pain then’.
He decided to check on her powers anyway. But when he placed his hand on her chest and concentrated he found that both her miko and youki were rather quiet, as if they laid dormant inside of her. ‘How is this possible? What is going on?’
He had to cover his ears when the girl suddenly gave a loud scream. Sesshoumaru, Daichi (who had also covered his ears) and Rin all looked on horrified as the girls writhing and groaning became worse. The girl was gasping for air, her heart rate speeding up to an inhumanly great speed, before suddenly everything went quiet.
Two demons looked on shocked as the girl went completely still. She was no longer gasping for air or writhing and groaning in pain. The girl’s aura had stilled and her youki and miko seemingly non-existent. Her madly racing heart had failed her body and stopped all together.
