NARAKU
Naraku is the result of a merging between a human and a few thousand miscellaneous youki. He is not the same as either of the ingredients, but he still loves the priestess Kikyo as he did when he was a human. He was completely immobile as a human, so Kikyo and her little sister Kaede tended to him. All he did was lay in a cave thinking about Kikyo's beauty, and it got a bit out of control. Naraku struggles with the fact that he, like his enemy Inuyasha, is half-demon. He is always trying to find ways to purge his humanity and strengthen his youki. His ultimate goal is to gather the Shikon shards in order to expell his human half and become a full demon - which is the same goal as Inuyasha's original one. He wants Inuyasha dead because he is an obstacle to this goal and also because Kikyo once loved him.Naraku also has several forms. He usually appears as a kind of a voodoo doll (called a kugutsu) which is covered by a baboon skin. He manipulates this form from far away so that he cannot be directly injured. His other form is human in appearance, but he still has all the powers of a youkai.

KAGURA
Kagura sprung from Naraku as a full grown woman. She is called his detachment, which is similar to a child, but she is a full demon. She fights using wind attacks and travels on a feather.She has a distinctly different personality from Naraku, and does not enjoy listening to him. But, Naraku holds her heart and therefore controls her life. If she disobeys him and gets caught, she dies.
