Hehe, about that: what could Naraku use fabric softener for with all those spikes and armor? Does he have a pair of soft, fluffy undies underneath all of that stuff?

Of course he does. The softest, fluffiest fundoshi in all of Japan. And when he sleeps, he puts his hair up in curlers.

Wow, so this latest manga chapter has me thinking about this all over again. This time, it's not about her last job thing at all, this time, it's just wondering if letting Kohaku go really did seal her fate.

So now Hakudoushi knows that she's betrayed everyone. But now the question is, does Naraku still control her heart, and if/when he does know about Kagura's betrayal, does it mean her death?

Or is there some bizarre way she's going to get out of all of this?

...hmm. This one really does have more of a desparate "is Kagura going to die?" twist to it now. Much more than last time. HEh-heh-heh.

[echolalia]

Dude... Seriously!

And just when she was redeeming herself, too.

Well, alright, I guess the choice to let Kohaku free wouldn't have been nearly so meaningful if it didn't put her ass onthe line... And a real, physical immediate danger is much more emotionally engaging than a vague "If anyone finds out..." danger... But even though I understand all the dramatic reasons behind it, it still seems like rotten luck for Hakudoushi to show up right that second. =P

I think her fate depends on what Hakudoushi will do. Assuming Naraku still holds her heart, Hakudoushi might try to blackmail Kagura and continue to use her to help Mouryoumaru, or he could decide she's too untrustworthy and work to get Naraku to dispose of her. Either way, she's in a baaaad spot.

And where is Naraku, anyway? I think he should have some inkling by now that she and Mouryoumaru are gone.

On that note... does Naraku even KNOW about Mouryoumaru? He knew about Gory and wanted to keep him locked up, but Hakudoushi wanted to set Mory free. Maybe the Goryoumaru disguise was there to fool both Inu-tachi AND Naraku.

[therhoda]

Just like the little sneak to be double crossing all of them and then get mad because Kagura isn't playing along!

Maybe it is one of those He knows something everyone else dosn't. Like how to kill the baby or some such. Hakudoushi is so evil! I mean I am just expecting something truly wrong from his high jinks. But can Kagura and Kohaku really do anything about him. I mean he has been sliced, diced, fired and he still put his pieces back together again.

[Kanna]

Thinking about Kagura's fate is giving me nightmares. But you know if Naraku did indeed not know about Gory maybe Hakudoushi is really the one in charge. Wouldn't that be a twist; Hakudoushi kills off Kagura and then proceeds to kills Naraku. He would keep Kanna around just to know where the Inu-taichi was though. Then that would mean there would be a possibly stronger villian to fight in the final battle. If Hakudoushi actually did all of this that is. oh and just cause I hope for this everyday, I hope that Kikyou happens to be around when Naraku dies and just as he's about to get sliced Kikyou reveals she loves him and jumps in front of him, and the happy couple get to go to HELL! It works out for Naraku cause in hell he can torture her forever and she'll suffer. But that's just a dream. A dream I wish would come true!

[Kuro]

XD Poor Naraku. No one loves him anymore. Even his kids are plotting to take him to Jerry Springer...

Dude... as much as I totally love Hakudoushi, I actually really, reallyreallyreally don't want his plan to overtake Naraku to work. Nor do I really want him to be the new Uberboss that the gang needs to take out in the end.

The reason I say that is because... well... I'd feel so damn cheated out of the last 368+ chapters of NARAKU being the one to take down. If Naraku isn't the main Uberbadguy in the end, then what was the whole POINT of the last seven years? (Same goes for Inuyasha and Kagome declaring their love for each other out loud, but that's another topic).

For some reason, I'd just love it if Naraku, Mouryoumaru, and Hakudoushi get into a big battle soon, and Naraku ends up being the one to destroy his kids.

They've never really said that killing Hakudoushi and Akago would mean synonymous death for Naraku, and I kind of assumed that destroying the heart would only mean that Naraku and Hakudoushi would suddenly NOT become untouchable anymore. So in a twist of irony, Hakudoushi turns on Naraku, and in order to save his own ass, Naraku has to kill his own heart, thus making it possible for everyone to kill him and...

....dear LAWRD, Takahashi... the plot is so darn twisted in and out and sideways right now that I seriously have given up on speculating on ANYTHING these days. XD

hola, pues yo quisiera que tuviera un final interesante, pero que no se muriera, aunque tampoco me agrada mucho la idea de que tenga algo que ver con Sesshoumaru. pero no creo que sea para tal grado.
puede independizarse y seguir otro camino, siempre y cuando deje en paz a Sess. ;D

[Kanna]

[eve's message in english]--> hello, because I wanted that I had an interesting end, but that did not die, although it does not please to much the idea to me that either it has something to see with Sesshoumaru. but I do not believe that is for such degree can become independent and follow another way, as long as it leaves Sess peacefully.

A little bit better translation than what Kanna might've gotten from whatever 'net translator used (Im currently in language school, hoping to teach Spanish someday, but Im at the very beginning right now, but Ill try anyway). Anyway, on to the translation:

[eve's message in english -->]Hello, Im hoping for an interesting ending, but I dont want Kagura to die. I like the idea that Sesshomaru will be involved, but I dont think he will be involved to a major degree.

The ending could go independently and continue on another road any time, as long as it leaves Sess in peace.

Soy en una escuela de idomas, donde yo aprendo espanol.

ciao,

[Kanna]

Woot! I was right. ;D I told all of you that Hakudoushi was planing to take Naraku's place! Only diference is that Hakudoushi and the baby are in it together.

Woo-hoo! (gives praise to Kuro) I love how the latest chapter ended with Nari-poo having a staring test with Kagura's heart.

Well, anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if Takahashi-sama DID put a plot twist that Nari-poo knew to an extent about Hakudoushi's loyalty and put Kagura in charge for a reason to keep Gory and Hakudoushi separate . I dunno, I just can't totally believe Nari-poo's reaction to be totally, "WTF. How could he do this to me! Well, see if I take him to any more Father and Son Picnics!"

Hakudoushi is still only an extenision of Nari-poo, so Nari-poo probably guessed that Hakudoushi might be unloyal to him.

[Chafa-kun]

Well, Kagura's done for it. I hope she wouldn't though, I really like her.
However, there's something telling me that she's not gonna die, at least yet. Maybe Naraku has some other task for her?
Well, my obvious (and I'm guessing here, saying that I think that many others too) guess here is that Kagura's FINAL task was to unmask Hakudoushi's betrayal. I mean, I'm quite sure that Narkau was completely aware of his betrayal. The thing now is, what's Narkau going to do if his heart is starting to betray him too?
