Sesshoumaru's Biggest Challenge

Kagura was strolling along the forest path. She was glad to finally be free from Naraku. " Ah. What a relief. Naraku can no longer tell me what to do. What should I do now?"

She walked to a mountain side and picked up a flower. She sat down beside a tree and twirled the flower in her fingers. Her peace was interrupted by Koga the wolf demon. " Found you, Witch!"

" Koga, what do you want? Naraku's dead can't you please just leave me alone?"

" No, I'm not letting Naraku's incarnations live. Especially not one like you!" Koga charged at her with full speed. Kagura stood up and reached for her fan, but she remembered that it was destroyed in the battle with Naraku.

Koga punched her in the face before she was able to dodge. She fell backwards to the ground. Before she could get up, Koga then kicked her into the rocks. She struggled to get up, but failed. " Finally I've got my revenge." Koga swung a hard punch into Kagura's head and she passed out.

Three hours later

Sesshoumaru was walking through the forest. He did not have Rin or Jaken with him because he wanted to be alone for a while.

He began to pick up the scent of blood and tears. Sesshoumaru was feeling curious and bored, so he decided to follow where it was coming from.

His senses led him to Kagura, who was now sitting up and had her head buried in her hands. She was crying. Kagura looked up at Sesshoumaru and got scared. She slowly moved back as he approached her. " Kagura, are you alright?"

" I'm lost and scwared."

"Why are you talking like a child?" Kagura tipped her head to the side like she didn't no what he meant.

" Watch ya talking bout? I am a child (A/N: I'm not going to give an age so you guys can make up whatever age you want to give Kagura).

Sesshoumaru had no idea what to do in this situation. " Come with me."

" I'm not suthpose to speak to strangers."

" I know ho you are so trust me, ok?" Sesshoumaru knew this wasn't going to work. Naraku probably taught her when she was younger never go with anyone unless she had his permission.

" Well…ok!" she giggled. Sesshoumaru was shocked at how naïve the girl was. It was a good thing he found her before another demon did.

They began walking. Kagura wrapped her arm around Sesshoumaru's. He looked down at her. " What are you doing?"

" I don't wanna get lost again."

He looked up and just kept walking. It was quiet until Kagura began talking again. " Hey wat's your name? You already know mines."

He looked at her and then looked forward again. " Sesshoumaru."

" Sethoumaru? Ok. Let's play a game." She pulled her arm away from him and ran in front of him. He stopped walking. She's going to be handful until I find out how to get her back to normal.

" What game?"

" Uh…carry me." She spread her arms our.

He sighed and helped her climb onto his back. " Now what?" she placed her hands in front of his eyes.

" Walk."

" I can't see."

" Tat's the point. I'll tell you if you're about to walk into a tree or something." She laughed. Sesshoumaru thought that the game was going to be pretty easy since he had a good sense of smell.

They were playing the game for about ten minutes. Then Kagura laughed. " Your rweally good at this game."

" We're here." He stopped walking and she climbed off of him.

" Is this where you lwive?"

" Yes. Come." He began to walk and Kagura chased after him. She grabbed his arm again.

They entered inside and were greeted by a small little imp named Jaken. " Sesshoumaru-sama, your- What is she doing here!" Jaken was shocked to see Kagura hiding behind Sesshoumaru.

" She's-" He was cut off by Kagura who was now hugging Jaken so tightly, she was suffocating him.

" Froggie!"

" Sess…houm…aru…sam! Get…her…off…of…me!" He shouted out.

Sesshoumaru smirked and found the site slightly amusing. " Kagura, get off." She pulled away from Jaken.

" You damn woman! Are you crazy?" Jaken shouted at her. Kagura ran back to Sesshoumaru.

" Sethoumaru, why does Froggie call you Sethoumaru-sama?"

" Because I am the Lord of the Western Lands."

" Oh. Sthould I call you that too?"

He patted her on the head. " You don't have too."

Jaken ran up to Kagura. " What's wrong with you, woman? Sesshoumaru-sama doesn't' have time for you."

Kagura blinked. " Why is Froggie so mean?"

" His name is Jaken, Kagura and he's always like that."

" Oh."

" Sesshoumaru-sama, what's wrong with her?" Jaken asked. Sesshoumaru pushed him into the kitchen.

" Kagura, stay here and don't move."

" Okie Dokie." She sat on the floor and waited fro Sesshoumaru to return.

He turned to Jaken. " Kagura believes that she is a young child. She looks like she was in battle because she's covered in blood and bruises. I think she got hit in the head too hard."

" So your going to take her in like you did to Rin?"

" Yes. For now anyway. Speaking of Rin, where is she? She's usually the first one to greet me when I come home."

" She went with your brother and his friends. They invited her to go swimming with them."

" Ok. Anyway, you must treat Kagura as though she is a child. And that may be difficult because she's a grown woman. But try not to yell at her either. Understood?" Jaken nodded and walked out of the kitchen. Sesshoumaru followed.

Kagura still sat where Sesshoumaru left her. When she saw Sesshoumaru come out of the kitchen, she ran up and hugged him. " Wat took you so long?"

" Kagura, come with me." He began walking upstairs and Kagura followed. They walked into one of the empty rooms in his castle. " This is your room."

" I get to stay with you?"

" Yes stay here. I'll be right back." He walked out of the room and left Kagura by herself.

He walked downstairs and greeted the little girl that had just gotten home. " Sesshoumaru-sama it, was so much fun. Inuyasha got in trouble because he tried to drown Shippo and Kagome made him sit on command. It was funny."

" Rin, there is someone here who is staying with us for a while."

" Really? Who is it? Are they nice?"

" Kagura will be with us for a while. But-"

" Kagura-san is staying with us! Banzi! We're gonna have so much fun!"

" Rin, wait. Kagura isn't herself. She thinks she is a child and that's the reason why she is staying with us. She can't take care of herself so I let her stay here."

" Aww, that's so sweet. You care about her. So I should call her Kagura-chan right?"

" Right. Come I'll take you to see her." Sesshoumaru led Rin upstairs to Kagura's new room.

Kagura walked around hr new room. She moved her hand along the silk bedsheets on the futon. Then she opened the closet screen and looked at all the Kimonos lined up neatly. " Wow, there so pretty."

She closed the screen. Sesshoumaru walked in her room. " Kagura, I have someone for you to meet."

" Who?"

" Rin." The little girl poked her head out from behind Sesshoumaru. " Hello, Kagura-chan."

" Hello, Rin-chan"

" Do you want to play?" Kagura nodded.

Sesshoumaru watched as the two girls ran down the hallway. He shook his head. What have I gotten myself into this time?"
