It has happened...at last...

**SPOILER WARNING!**






Chapter 374 - Wind

Yes, it has happened, people... Kagura finally got the freedom she had been longing for. In a way, I always knew that was the only type fo freedom she'd ever get - the freedom of death, as I had told Kaitsurin during one of our talks.

Funny thing is... I had been waiting for this moment... I even had a little song all prepared for when she died (sounds mean, I know)... But now... I'm actually a bit sad. I don't know... It might have been the way Takahashi wrote it... It might have been the fact I tend to develop a new liking towards characters when they're either dead or die throughout the story... I don't know why, but I felt really sorry for her. One good thing to remember, though, is that, as Sesshoumaru (yes, he was there) said, she was smiling in the end. So there.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the hot-from-the-oven news with the rest of you. Fear not, this Ruby is not planning on becoming a Sess/Kagu fan of any sort, although she might have gained new respect for the kaze youkai. Now I must go, leaving you with a sad little quote...

"I am the wind...The free wind..."

Dude...When you sent me that...My heart clenched for her. I've never hated Kagura, but I've never exactly been a fan either. But you were right...Takahashi wrote that most...Stunningly. And here I'd thought I'd exhausted my tears on my own self pity...But they sprang anew...

I'm so glad...Sessh was with her...In the end.

Lol--I FINALLY started reading the manga scanlations for Inu (I had been focusing only on Naruto >_<) and I read the latest one with Kagura today. I figured she'd die, but not that it would be that moving. When I saw the smile on her face and she said " In the end...I was with you" I actually had tears in my eyes! At first I liked her character, but later disliked her after the whole flirting with Sessh...but I really felt for her that her "freedom" was so fleeting (and cruel--D*** that Naraku!!!!!). It was great that Sessh came though, dying alone has to be one of the worst feelings ever (granted, dying is not a great feeling usually but the feeling that no one cares surely only magnifies the pain). Anyway, rest in peace Kagura. You're free at last.
