Summary: Kagura wishes she could kill him with a thought.



Sometimes she imagines crushing him with the wind. He may control her heart, but he can’t even touch the span of her imagination.

She knows she can. He’s at least given her that power, and she’s practiced it, on the wolf youkai, on humans. She attacks all of her victims like that and sees Naraku’s face in every one of them. It’s easier to kill them that way. She doesn’t have a heart, so what does it matter? (It doesn’t, and she doesn’t even count the times she feels anything when she’s with Kohaku.)

Instead, Kagura sits and waits. She bides her time. Perhaps Sesshoumaru will help her - save her. Perhaps she’s just imagining that too.

It’s better than waiting for Naraku to kill me, she thinks. Though, she’s not suicidal. She has a sense of self-preservation; however, she also knows when she’s the weaker one here. She knows that Naraku could end her with just a thought.

She glares at him through the darkness. Sometimes it gets positively boring, hearing his plotting and cackling about his grandiose schemes, but sometimes it’s not, and though he tries to hide his emotion, Kagura can feel it - the moment when he’s weak, when his enemies have affected him and his strength begins to fade.

When he hurts, Kagura continues waiting, remembering her place. She still stares at him with her ruby eyes, wishing the weight of her stare could crush him too.

Pity that is his power and not hers.
