The Price You Pay: Cost of Blood
*episode 8*

Kohaku sits in the moonlight holding Kagura. Near by, Kirara is grooming herself. Slowly, Kagura begins to move. When she is able, she turns her face away from him. Latter, when her voice returns, she asks, “Why?” He says, “I had to save you. All debts have now been paid.” “What about to Kagome?” Kagura asks. “How will you pay that debt? If she isn’t dead, then she’s dieing as we speak.” “No.” he says. “If he were going to kill her, he would have made sure that Inuyasha was there to watch. I was pretty sure, but it was Kirara who decided.” Kagura asks, “Kirara?” Hearing her name, the cat looks up from her coat. Kohaku continues, “If Kagome’s life was in danger, she never would have brought us there. She knew that this was the only way to have you both alive. He’ll probably use her as a hostage; demand something from Inuyasha for her release. I don’t have anything that he wants. But, by getting him Kagome, I gave him power over his brother. He may just want Inuyasha to worry about her. But if he’d planned to hurt her, Kirara would have known. I don’t know which I would have chosen, you or her. But, Kirara would have picked Kagome.” “Is she that intelligent?” Kagura asks. “More so.” he tells her. They sit in silence. Finally, Kagura asks, “So what do we do now?” Kohaku says, “I promised him one hour. After that, I go and tell Inuyasha everything. Then I accept any punishment he thinks is fitting, as long as I’m the one who gets hurt.” “And what if you’re wrong? What if he doesn’t want to use her as a hostage or as bait? What then Kohaku?” she asks. He says, “In that case, she’s already dead; and there is no way that she will be revived by the Tenseiga.” He gets up. “I kept you out for a long time.” he says, helping her to her feet “We should go.”
