Kagura

She is a y&#333;kai that is a detachment of Naraku. Her powers include controlling the movement of the wind up to a certain distance from her, creating wind blades that can pierce through flesh. She also has some control over the dead, though she usually needs Kanna's help.

Biography
She is one of many of Naraku's detachmens, and as such he holds her heart in his hands, she is bound to his service, and her betrayal would mean certain death.

Despite such impediments, she resents Naraku and covertly works toward his death, mostly by manipulating the two camps opposed to Naraku, those of InuYasha and Sesshomaru, She has an older sister, who appears younger, named Kanna who is loyal to Naraku. She also has other younger siblings: Juromaru,Kageromaru, Goshinki, Muso and Hakudoshi.

In the manga, Naraku charges her with her final job, which is to guard Goryomaru at a prison. Hakudoshi convinces her to release him secretly, because he is secretly plotting with Akago to destroy Naraku. Suspiciously, Naraku offers to give her freedom instead, but it has a fatal catch. Naraku returns Kagura's heart, granting her freedom, but pierces her chest and poisons her with his miasma. Though she is found by Sesshomaru, whom she has been hinted to have romantic interests, he is unable to use Tenseiga to save her life and she succumbs to the poison.

At the moment of her death, Kagura's body disintegrates and becomes a gust of wind. Her last thoughts are that she was happy she could see Sesshomaru before she died and that she was "free as the wind."

Kagura's Clothing
Kagura wears the traditional three layer robes of the Kagura Shinto Dancers, her namesake as well. Despite changing her clothes in the series, her overall style remains the same.

Kagura wears the traditional kimono of the Kagura dancers. She initially wore a blue robe with a floral pattern, but after her first bout against InuYasha she changed it to a white and crimson-violet pattern robe. During times of battle, Kagura would usually remove the right side and sleeve of her kimono to utilize her fan with greater ease.
