Hi
"you think you're outsmarting him. you are a very foolish woman."
a quiet hmph echoes past her lips, a cynical glint cast in her eyes as she glances at the miko from the corner of her eyes. the woman is a mystery kagura has yet to unravel - why naraku seeks her out so much? why the obsessive, almost humane desire to have her? not to destroy her; naraku just wishes to possess her, like a piece of gold, like a precious emerald.
there must be something else about the woman that escapes kagura's knowledge on human nature.
"you assume you've got him in the palm of your hand, just because he wants you," almost like a human man would want a human woman. it's sickening, albeit curious, "don't be naive enough to believe you've got the final say in this. whatever it is you're scheming, you won't win. not you, you're barely a bag of bones by now - you can't outsmart someone who has already killed you once," and maybe, kagura is warning kikyo because she wants her to win. but excessive pride will forever remain humanity's biggest flaw.

Kagura's Clothes: What Is She Wearing?
I’ve seen InuYasha fans assert Kagura of the Wind dresses like a prostitute, or if they’re being kind, a concubine. The reasoning for such a claim? Kagura ties her obi in front, like a prostitute, while married and virginal women tie their obi in the back. It’s one of iron-clad rules of wearing kimono, after all.
This would be worthwhile evidence for Kagura dressing as a prostitute, except for one thing: Kagura isn’t wearing a kimono.
At least, not the kind of kimono Westerners imagine when they hear the word. Kimono is a broad term that literally means “a thing to wear,” and refers to all Japanese clothing. When Westerners read kimono, they picture either tomesode (留袖, meaning “to fasten” and “sleeve”), or furisode (振袖, meaning “swinging sleeves”).
This is a tomesode, specifically a kurotomesode, meant for older women to wear on special occasions.
This is a furisode, meant for unmarried young women around Kagome’s age.
Tomesode and furisode date to the late Edo to early Meiji period, around the 1800s. InuYasha takes place in the mid-1500s, quite a few centuries earlier. Japan, like every other country, has had its national dress evolve over time. So, while Kagura is wearing kimono in the broader sense, she isn’t wearing the tomesode or furisode, and isn’t bound by the rules regarding those kimono.
If not tomesode or furisode, what kind of kimono is Kagura wearing?
The kosode (小袖, “small sleeve”).
As you can see, the sleeves are shorter and rounder than those of the tomesode or furisode. Kosode also have a looser fit, and generally a higher hemline. They were the basic garment for women of all social classes, including, yes, prostitutes.
Now, a fan could claim Kagura wears her kosode like a prostitute. So, let’s take a look at how Kagura wears her kosode. She has an incredible four different outfits, which makes her a fashion maven in InuYasha.
Her first outfit:
Her second:
Her third:
Her fourth, and final outfit:
As we can clearly see, no matter the outfit, Kagura does indeed tie her obi in front. Does that mean she dresses like a prostitute? Let’s see what an actual prostitute in the mid-1500s would wear.
From the front:
And from the back:
There we have it. Not only does the prostitute wear a much more narrow obi than Kagura, she also ties her obi in the back. Kagura, without a doubt, does not dress like a prostitute.
Keep in mind that wearing an obi knotted in the back is not an undeniable sign of a woman being a prostitute. Rin wears her obi tied in back, because she is a young child. Her obi is also more like a ribbon than the tasseled cord worn by a prostitute. However, for most women of the mid-1500s, the proper way to tie your obi was in front.
So, what kind of outfit does Kagura wear? Take a look at this woman of the samurai class, circa mid-1500s.
It’s clear that she’s wearing three layers of kosode with a ribbon-like obi tied in front, like Kagura. When Naraku created Kagura, he was still hiding under the identity of Hitomi Kagewaki, a daimyo, and living in the Hitomi castle. Ordering Kagura to dress like a woman of the samurai class would make her less suspicious to his human underlings.
All the way back at the beginning of this article, I mentioned that some fans claim Kagura dresses like a concubine. Wearing upper-class clothing and posing as a concubine isn’t contradictory, and it’s entirely possible Kagura briefly had a cover identity as Hitomi Kagewaki’s wife or concubine. However, her dress reflects not on her, but Naraku. He literally held her heart in the palm of his hand, and if he wanted Kagura to dress a certain way, she’d have to comply under pain of death.
One final note on Kagura’s style of dress: in both her first and second outfits, she lowers the sleeve of her outer kosode, exposing the intricate embroidered cranes on her second kosode. This is common fashion for Japanese dancers, still occasionally worn today. As Kagura is named after a form of traditional Japanese dance, and her attacks are based off of dance moves, it’s quite an appropriate look for her.

" you don't know anything. " said @bakyusaiga
" have i touched a sensitive spot, lord sesshomaru? "
sardonic quirk of her eyebrow; she tries to seem nonchalant, yet there is obvious curiosity and interest behind her words. his relationship to the human child is odd to say the least -- why would a creature as powerful as him bother with a weak and vulnerable girl? is it perhaps because even daiyoukai feel something akin to affection, a need to protect?
is she the only one who lacks such emotions? tsk, why would it matter, either ways?
bitterness and envy are a raw bile she has tasted many a time by now.
" i know enough, " she shrugs, folds her arms over her chest and glances at the creature before her, a god among mortals that still may fall to his knees and weep for a human babe, " i know you care for the child. i know you would kill whoever dares harm her, " he has, and he will, and Kagura feels envious, not of the child, but of Sesshomaru himself ( he, who can still experience such pure feelings despite the blood he has shed ), " still, the thing i don't know is ... why? how is that even possible? "
" you always hesitate ." said @bakyusaiga
she knows he speaks of the way she never actually delivers a killing blow ( no matter how easy, or necessary ). she wonders why he has been observing her enough to notice such a pattern - most of all, she wonders why he would care. and most of all, she wonders why it brings an aching pain to her hollow chest; perhaps, where a heart would beat fast and filled with uneasiness at the idea of him paying that much attention to her movements.
she will glance away, a quiet 'hmph' echoes past cherry - painted lips; her only reply to his remark. because it's not a question, but a statement ( he knows, because he has seen it, time and time again ). and Kagura wonders, for a moment, if he already knows the reason, if he will voice it out loud and mock her for it.
have you not the guts to kill, wind witch? how pathetic.
"I don't know what you speak of, " a soft murmur accompanies a shrug of petite shoulders, " the only reason why i would kill is if it were to benefit me. and as it is, i need the hanyou and the miko alive."

" why don't you lust after the shikon jewel's power? "
perhaps it's a question she's had rummaging through her mind for quite a while ( perhaps, out of all the things she wishes to ask the daiyoukai, this is the one she knows he won't feel bothered to answer ). Sesshomaru craves power, but at his own pace -- it seems the pearl is useless to him, and for Kagura, who was born and made for the purpose of obtaining the jewel, such a notion feels foreign, yet intriguing.
as she leans against a hollowed trunk, Kagura gives the other a sideways glance, yet abstains from direct eye contact. his gaze is ice and frostbite, she loathes how deeply it cuts through her sometimes, " what power could you possibly seek, or want, or have, that is greater than that? @seyokai "
“ i’m relieved by just hearing you breathe . ” said @shoraiko
" why? "
despite the attempt at a nonhalant inquire ( and perhaps because her wounded chest filled with nothing at all still aches, and cuts her breathing in deep intervals ) there is still genuine curiosity in her voice. and as she grips onto the edges of her ripped kimono that expose the gash across her left breast, Kagura glances up from the ground at the young woman before her.
why would you care? she wants to hiss, yet no sound comes out.
the notion is foreign to her, born from Naraku's hatred and greed, she knows only what he feels and has felt in his lifetime. there was never space for mercy in his heart, and thus, none within her hollow insides. and even then, even though the way the miko speaks as if she cares makes her guts churn and turn, Kagura still feels a glimpse of grattitude creeping within her chest.
she does not know what to make of it. she does not know how to feel these things at all.
" why are you here? sorry to tell you, but naraku isn't -- " a violent fit of coughs echoe past her throat before the gash begins to close, as if there had never been a wound at all, " naraku isn't around. go bother someone else. "

" you remind me of someone. someone i know. "
not by appearences only, the silver hair and stoic countenance of the creature before her are a reminiscent of a person she does not wish to think of too much. but even though the scent on him is not that of a youkai, nor that of Sesshomaru nor his brother, Kagura feels weirdly drawn to him. not at ease, not safe, but drawn to keep on studying him with attentive eyes.
" he, too, sought power beyond his limits, " he too scoffed at humanity and called it weak, and Kagura agreed, but wondered at the same time if such disdain wasn't very humane at the same time, " he has a weakness, though. strangely enough, a human one. so, tell me, are you similar to him in that too, @godcell? "
" you are a curious human, miko. "
leaning against the trunk of a tree, arms fold over chest as she studies the woman before her. the stench of dirt and clay and blood exude from her, to the point that Kagura cannot sense the human scent in her any longer. and in the darkened eyes of the miko, she sees nothing at all -- or perhaps, no emotion Kagura herself can recognize.
anger and grudge, lust and envy, she knows. anything else remains foreign.
" do you keep on living out of pure spite, i wonder? you could easily end your life if you wanted it, " perhaps she is as prideful as Naraku, perhaps he simply finds a sense of familiarity in her that draws him in to a great degree, " but you don't ... or perhaps, you simply have grown to enjoy feeling this way, " feeling hatred is addictive, it fills your gut with something Kagura cannot properly explain, " feeling that anger inside. " @kikiyo

you ever think about how kagura’s only taste at human emotions have been what naraku ( aka onigumo ) experienced when he became a hanyou and what he experiences thourough the entire manga up until his death? kagura is an extension of his own flesh and brain, which means that the only parts of the world she knows up until she begins associating with other living creatures ( humans, youkai, etc ) are the ones onigumo/naraku experienced in his past.
kagura only knows negative emotions, combined with fear of what naraku might do to her heart if she disobeys him. which is one of the reasons why she clings to the idea of being closer to sesshomaru – because he makes her experience new sensations she never did before, and fears she never will again. it’s not that she’s developed such strong romantic feelings for him as much as it is the fact that those feelings she does have for sesshomaru ( admiration, curiosity, perhaps attraction to his power because that’s something she takes from naraku too ), are absolutely foreign and new to kagura. and maybe she likes them, despite consciously trying to push them away.
