~~~Ana's PoV~~~

I placed my flower clip on Kira's grave and kissed Renji's tombstone. "Whoever did this I promise I will find them and avenge your deaths, and then when that's done I'll avenge my mother." I stood up and looked at the graves I had built in the past few days. I have done this before. Lose the people I love and dig the graves of those very people. In the years I have shed many tears for lost one's but now its time for me to fight back.

"Excuse me miss but I've lost the love of my life and I cant seem to find her could you help me?"

I turned around expecting to see a man who actually needed my help but only saw Bankotsu. Its been four days since I saw him last and I've missed him with an aching pain. Not only because I missed him but because I needed to speak with him too. I turned away and looked at the ground, "hey Ana is there something wrong?" Bankotsu asked taking my hand but quickly let go. My skin was at an unbearable level of heat because of all this hate I felt. But I didn't feel hate towards Bankotsu. I hate Naraku. And I hate myself for what I was about to do.....

"Ana whats wrong?" he asked again. I looked up at the sky and sighed, "Bankotsu....as long as Naraku still lives and breathes that kiss we shared....will have to be forgotten. No matter the circumstances I cannot let my feelings for you take control of me. The live I have for you will not matter, the times se spent together will not matter, the memories I have of you will not matter, and you...will not matter." I turned back to him hoping to see his bright blue eyes, but he was looking down and his bangs were covering them. "You don't mean that Ana.…" he said softly. "I know I don't mean it and I know I never will mean it but as long as Naraku is still alive I have to believe it!" I said. In a matter of seconds Bankotsu embraced me. His hug was tight yet comforting."Damn Naraku....he's built one wall to many keeping me away from you." he whispered, "Any wall, anybody, anything, or any demon keeping me away from you I will personally knock down."

Who knew he was so deep.......

"Ana I need you. I want you. I love you." he said looking me in the eyes. His words caught me off gaurd. So off guard that it made my temperature ride again and I almost burned Bankotsu. He quickly took his hands away and shook them, "you have to stop doing that." he said with a smirk. I smiled then felt a breeze. "it's the winds....I have to go!" I said turning to leave. "What are the winds?" he asked. "it's the actual winds, they tell me I need to go there's somewhere I need to be!" I said taking out my fan, "see you on the full moon!" I gave him a wink then vanished with the wind......


I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and bumped into something. I fell on my butt then looked up.

"Koga?"

I stood up and hugged him, "oh koga I'm so glad to see you!" I said unaware that his face was turning red. "Uh Ana what are you doing?" he said. I backed away and smiled, "I'm just happy to remember you." I said. "Remember me?" he asked. "Oh its nothing!" I said, "well I have to find Inuyasha…" "I'm actually looking for that mutt too." he said. I placed my hands on my hips and gave him a suspicious look , "you're looking for Inuyasha?" I asked. "Ok ok so im looking for Kagome!" he said. I smiled then hopped on his back, "well then go puppy go!"

"Puppy?" he said then smiled, "you know if anyone else called me that I would've killed them." "Well you wont kill me...will you?" I asked in my most innocent voice. "Nahh." he said then sped off. As he was running I sensed something. "Koga! I sense Kagome's jewel shards!"

"Where?!"

He stopped immediately. "That way!" I said pointing to a small village. As we got closer I realized that it was Shintaru's village. "The jewel shard!" I said softly. "What about a jewel shard?" Koga said setting me down. "Not to long ago I gave a jewel shard to a boy of this village and told him to pass it on to Inuyasha." I said, "but now I regret my actions because I sense a tainted jewel shard…" "How tainted?" he asked. I looked toward him with a worried expression and said, "its pitch black.…"

"Well then we just have to get across that lake." he said. "No...I have to get across that lake. I need you to go and continue to search for Naraku." I said.

"But-"

"Go!"

He hesitated for awhile but finally he sped off. I sighed then look back towards the lake. I was getting ready to try and cross when someone stopped me.

"Priestess!!!"

I turned around and saw three girls running toward me. "Yes?" I asked. "You must be the strange priestess our brother was talking about! The one that gave him the shard of the shikion jewel!" one of them said. "Yes that is me...where is Shintaru?" I asked. "He went aross the lake to find our father." the one said. "He still hasn't come back?" I asked. "No he did but a strange black light appeared in the sky and our father went to see what it was." she said and the others nodded in agreement. I looked back toward the lake and sighed, "I'll bring your brother back.…" I said before taking off on the lake. My footsteps were as swift as the wind which allowed me to run on the water.

DAMN! I'll never be able to forgive myself is Shintaru is dead because of the shard I gave him!
