Flashback

The sun beat down mercilessly on the sand. But she refused to be deterred. Her deck secured tightly to her thigh under her skirt, Kagome focused. Taking a step forward, she concentrated on a single card in her deck. A breeze slowly began to pick up as she concentrated on her task.

Slowly, a small shape began to take form before her. Exhaustion began creeping into her veins as she continued to push herself. The shape became more defined as a small set of paws touched the sand, a bow comically popping into existence as clawed hands began to reach for her.

Kagome felt the strain as she tried to continue the spell. She held out her arms for Shippo to run into as she put the last of her energy it.

"Mama!"

The small kitsune ran to embrace Kagome, kicking up the sand beneath him with his movements.

Kagome smiled as she prepared for a hug. She did it.

Her vision blurred before she finally blacked out, Shippo's form turning to smoke just as he reached her.

A chin rested on the top of her head as Kagome was forced to sway in the arms of her partner. Cold dread washed over her as she the arms kept her trapped against a strong chest.

"How long has it been since we last saw each other, hm? Several thousand for me while…."

Kagome was spun around in a gentle circle to face the owner of the voice. Red eyes stared down at her, long black hair pulled back in a low ponytail with a few strands and bangs framing a deceptively handsome face.

"It's only been two for you." Naraku finished. The two swayed on the dance floor gracefully as Kagome tried to keep her composure.

Here was the man who took everything from her. Looking no worse for the wear while she was struggling to keep it together. She wanted to say something. Anything.

But she couldn't.

Naraku lead her into another graceful spin, pulling her close again and dipping her low. Their noses were millimeters apart as the locked eyes.

He had her in his grasp. And she couldn't hurt him.

He raised her again as the music began to speed up and change style. Naraku dragged Kagome close, their chests practically plastered together as they moved across the floor. To onlookers, they made a striking couple. Her delicate features against his dark beauty. Their movements were clean and elegant, with the barest hint of an edge in each step.

Naraku spun the girl in his grasp again, her back firmly against his chest as their fingers laced together on her waist. Her brought her other hand to his lips, pressing a soft kiss to her wrist.

"You escaped me once." He breathed against her skin as he closed his eyes and rested her palm against his face. His head came to rest atop hers once again, his cheek rubbing heavily in her hair. Their position had reporters and bloggers reaching for their cameras as they witnessed the embrace.

From across the room, the pharaoh stood as a silent specter beside his partner. He watched as the two move with each other as a cold feeling washed down his spine, his ring slowly growing warm on his finger.

"I loved him once... "
