Inside a Broken Mirror

Chapter one: Cold meets Warmth

The sky thundered above them as the battle raged between the tyrant everyone knew as Naraku and Inuyasha; while the rest had their attention on Naraku's detachment Kagura. Kagome looked towards Kagura and aimed a purifying arrow at her trying to direct the attention to her so the others could go help Inuyasha with Naraku. Why was it they couldn't land a hit on him now? Were they just tired from fighting the other youkai's? Or was he just getting stronger because of the shikon shards.

What they never understood was why Kanna always looked upon the battles mindlessly as if there was nothing going through her head no kind of sadness or pain when she saw the death of many. The sky had started darken blocking any kind of light onto the fighting scene below it was frightening knowing that even the light was scared of what laid below.

Inuyasha jumped to the side dodging one of Naraku's attack but without noticing he appeared behind him and punched him making him slam into the tree beside Kagome. The group quickly ran to his side as they looked up at the beast who was laughing robustly as it echoed through the area making any animals flee from fear.

"Seems you have a long way before you can defeat me, I'll hope you will be better the next time I see you or I will take Kagome just like I did Kikyo"

With that all three of them disappeared leaving the Inu- tachi to make their way to the village to regain their strength. This had been going on for a while Naraku was too powerful now that he had most of the shikon no tama. He only needed Kouga's shards that were in his legs and the three that they had kept hidden. How could they stop him?

On the way to the village they suddenly stopped when they felt an ominous aura near them though the sky slowly cleared up and there riding Ah Un came both Rin and Sesshoumaru though Jaken was no where to be seen. As sesshoumaru landed a smirk appeared on his face when he saw how beaten up his half brother looked.

"That look suits you"

He said as he barged passed him and continued walking towards where he saw Naraku's minions head. For some reason though Inuyasha's mind was pre occupied what did Naraku mean by he would take Kagome like he did Kikyo. Was Kikyo with him? If so that was very worrying how would he save her if he couldn't even land a hit on him.

Kanna had been dismissed by Naraku now that he was resting she was free to do whatever she pleased since she was the only minion of his who he knew wouldn't betray him. It could of also been because Kanna seemed like an empty shell to most people as if she wouldn't do anything wrong just like a robot programmed to do something in a certain way. That was how she was and it seemed like no one ever approached her she lead a lonely life where there was no warmth and the only hand that was extended to her was one that reeked of blood and was cold as ice.

Finally she came to a sudden halt when she felt the ground tremble beneath her, the little girl turned around to see a huge dark ogre approaching her with thirsty eyes ready to devour her. His body was rounded and covered in blood the smell was unbearable to most youkai so they would stay away from ogres since they were known for being unclean and brutal.

He extended his blood drenched hand towards Kanna but as she awaited for the impact emotionlessly she was surprised when it never came. She looked up and saw a cat like youkai lock its jaws on the ogre's arm making him make a few steps back. It had long pointy ears that were perked back and at the tip they were a blood red colour with a jagged end. Her body was a ivory colour Kanna looked closer and saw that around her neck it seemed like she had floating orbs four of them each a different colour. One was blue another was red then the last two were green and yellow and on her mane there were orbs connected at the end with the same colours as the orbs around her neck.

The youkai's jaw ripped through the ogres flesh making him swing his arm to the side making the youkai slam against a tree. Before it could get up the ogre slashed at its side making it growl loudly as pain consumed her body. The youkai shook its head and pushed itself up as it lunged forward towards the ogres throat. It pierced the ogre's neck its teeth sinking he backed up against a tree and panted for air as he punched the youkai so it would release its jaws. The youkai wouldn't release its jaw no matter how much pain she felt that was until she felt that his body hand become still. He was dead underneath her but as she let go she slammed onto the ground and let out a whimper as she turned to her smaller form around a cats size. She looked the same except the orbs had disappeared and her eyes had turned to a sapphire colour.

The youkai pulled itself to its feet and slowly walked deeper into the forest as it left a trail of blood behind her but what was even stranger then the appearance of such a unusual youkai was Kanna following the youkai almost as if she was hypnotized by it. Finally the youkai stopped near a lake where it collapsed on its side and closed its eyes. The blood still poured out if she was left alone she would probably die but why would a youkai save someone only to be followed by death.

Kanna couldn't understand the concept of friendship or of even caring why would someone risk their life for another. Compassion wasn't something she had been taught no one was ever with her to teach her anything all she knew was how to be emotionless just like all the other youkai that worked for Naraku. Showing their emotions would be a weakness and that would only lead to death when you worked for someone like Naraku. But something inside her told her to go closer to that youkai, to not let it die because she had to repay her for saving her life.

Kanna grabbed some nearby herbs and a big leaf and walked over to the youkai quietly so she wouldn't startle something so powerful and beautiful. She started crushing the herbs against a rock and slowly put it on the youkai. She was lucky since the youkai was unconscious it didn't react much other then the body shuddered slightly as the herbs stung its wound. She put the leaf on top of the wound and mysteriously the bleeding had stopped.

She let the medicine do its work and headed over to the lake the moon was amazing for once she was adoring the world around her and for some reason she couldn't help but be mezmerized by the youkai that laid so still. She looked at the lake and saw some fish swimming their bodies shinned at the light from the moon reflected on them. Kanna took her mirror it started to glow and suddenly it sucked up the souls of the fish so they would float up to the top where it would be easier for her to get them. All this time in her head there was a voice asking her why? Why was she doing all this?

She put the fish down near the youkai and as quick as she took their souls she left the side of the youkai and went back to Naraku. Would she come back for the youkai?
