Note: Sorry for any errors. Also, Kanna is finally entering the story. Despite my urge to watch videos instead of update, I am gonna update. Yay me! Hopefully nothing was left out too much and shit. I hope it isn't confusing. Hopefully nothing was accidentally taken out (laptop has been being weird lately).

Chapter Thirty-Five: Kanna's Mirror

Later that night while everyone was eating, Miroku, Inuyasha, and Kaori could tell that something was wrong. Miroku and Inuyasha exited the building they were staying in to see that men from the village had weapons in their hands. The men from the village began to try and attack Inuyasha & Miroku. Kirara, who had been with them the whole time, transformed and helped them handle the humans that were attacking. They seemed like they were possessed or something.

Kagome, Sango, and Kaori watched from inside. Shippo couldn't see. "What's going on out there?" Shippo wondered.

"Their numbers are great. I shall assist them," Sango said.

Before Sango could go to help Miroku and Inuyasha, Koharu entered the room panting. "Something dreadful has happened!"

"What's the matter?" Kagome asked.

"Tell us what happened," Kaori demanded.

"A demon got inside and attacked the elder and his wife!" Koharu exclaimed.

Sango and Kagome grabbed their weapons. The five of them walked out of the room to get to where the elder and his wife were. It didn't take long. The elder and his wife laid on the ground motionless.

"Are they really dead?" Shippo wondered.

"The poor elder," Koharu said.

"A demon did this?" Sango questioned.

"Would make a lot of sense for a demon to do this," Kaori commented.

Kagome looked at Koharu. "Think, Koharu. What did the demon look like? You saw it, right?"

Koharu looked away. "Not exactly. I only caught a glimpse of it."

"Wait a second, now that I am thinking about, shouldn't have Miroku, Inuyasha, and I sense the demon?" Kaori thought. "Something isn't right here...but what?"

The five of them walked to the next room. They spotted Kanna, who was wearing a white kimono and had silver/white hair to match.

"There it is!" Sango yelled. She reached for her weapon but Kanna vanished. "Huh? It vanished."

"It's a kid too," Kaori said, frowning. "I can't hurt a kid. Demon or not."

"Kaori, don't let your love of children get the best of you!" Kagome exclaimed.

Kanna kept appearing and disappearing. Sango had to react quickly when Kanna reappeared. Sango threw her weapon at Kanna but Kanna's mirror began to glow and Sango's weapon was blocked by something. Suddenly, Sango's weapon flew back at her, sending her flying back into Shippo and crashing onto the floor, knocking Shippo and Sango unconscious.

"SANGO!" Kagome shouted. "SHIPPO!"

"Shit!" Kaori exclaimed. "What are we going to do, Kagome? I can't hurt a kid!"

"I know!" Kagome exclaimed. "I'll try to do something!"

Kanna tilted her head. "Kagome. Kaori."

Kagome looked towards the girl. "That girl is a demon?"

"Huh? You know our names?" Kaori wondered. "What the fuck is going on?"

Koharu grabbed onto Kagome.

"Ahh! Koharu! Let go!" Kagome exclaimed.

Kaori ran over to her and tried to pull Kagome out of Koharu's grip. "Holy shit. She is strong all of a sudden. What the fuck?"

"Look into my mirror. Give me your soul," Kanna said.

"Huh?" Kagome looked right at her reflection in the mirror and her soul began to pull out of her.

"Stop this!" Kaori exclaimed. "Please!"

"I would be quiet if I were you. I am not allowed to harm you but if you continue to speak, I will take your soul as well," Kanna said blankly as her mirror continued to suck in Kagome's soul.

"What?" Kaori whispered. "Not allowed to harm me...?" Kaori let out a small gasp. "Naraku! She is helping Naraku! Damn it... How do I stop her...? I can't harm a child..."

Shippo regained consciousness and jumped at Kanna. "Leave my friends alone!"

"Shippo, don't!" Kaori exclaimed. A shield appeared around Kanna and Shippo was knocked back. "Shippo!" She ran over to Shippo and held him. "Oh, Shippo. You did good." She petted his head as he lost consciousness again.

Kagome laid on the floor. Her eyes were blank but her soul wasn't completely taken. She is still about to move. Kagome glanced over at Kaori. "Don't worry... I'll stop her..."

"Your shards are mine. Give them to me," Kanna said, reaching towards Kagome.

Kagome sat up and pointed an arrow at Kanna. Kaori noticed this and let out another gasp, yelling "Kagome!"

"Why is she still moving?" Kanna wondered in her head.

"Sango?! Kagome?! Shippo?! Kaori?!" Miroku called out.

"Here!" Kaori exclaimed.

Miroku ran into the room with Kirara. Kanna retreated. Kagome fell over.

"Kagome, are you hurt? What has she done?" Miroku asked.

"I'm...fine," Kagome managed to say.

"That girl...the little demon, she tried to take Kagome's soul," Kaori explained. "She didn't take mine...because she said she wasn't allowed."

"That explains why Kagura is here as well," Miroku said. "This is all Naraku's doing."

Kaori stood up with Shippo in her arms. "Where's Inuyasha?"

"Fighting Kagura," Miroku said.

"We need to get to him," Kaori said.

Shippo moved in Kaori's arms and awoken once again. "Kaori!"

Kaori placed Shippo on Kirara's back. "Thanks for trying to help earlier." Shippo smiled and nodded. Kaori helped Miroku place Sango and Kagome on Kirara's back. "Jeez, they are heavy."

"We must hurry," Miroku said.

"Yeah," Kaori said.

Inuyasha and Kagura are fighting. Miroku was carrying Koharu while Kirara was carrying Sango and Kagome, plus Shippo. Inuyasha doesn't spot them. Kagura purposely allows Inuyasha to be able to use Wind Scar. As he unleashes it, Kagura turns and switches places with Kanna. Kanna uses her mirror to reflect the Wind Scar right back at Inuyasha, seriously injuring him.

"NO!" Kaori screamed and dropped to her knees, tears forming in her eyes. Miroku sat Kohaku down and ran over to Inuyasha. Shippo followed him.

"Inuyasha!" Miroku exclaimed.

There were sudden gusts of wind and Naraku appeared by Kanna and Kagura.

"Finally dropped dead, eh, Inuyasha?" Naraku questioned the seemingly lifeless Inuyasha.

"NARAKU, YOU BASTARD!" Kaori screamed, tears pouring down her face.

"That is no way for you to address your husband," Naraku stated, chuckling.

"You are not my husband and you never will be!" Kaori exclaimed. "I'd kill myself before I'd become your wife!"

"Tsk tsk. How troublesome you are," Naraku said.

"Should we take Inuyasha's head back as a trophy?" Kagura asked. She didn't get an answer. "No? You don't want that woman to know that Inuyasha has been slain?"

"That woman...? Does she mean...Kikyo?" Kaori thought. She heard groaning coming from Kagome.

"Kaori... Is Inuyasha...okay?" Kagome asked.

"...Yeah... He is okay," Kaori sniffled.

"...I'm glad..." Kagome mumbled.

"Give me your head!" Kagura yelled out, making Kaori look in her direction. She saw Kagura wave her fan and send an attack towards Inuyasha. She had knocked Miroku back without Kaori even knowing since she had been deep in thought for a bit and had spoke to Kagome.

"NO!" Kaori screamed, getting up and running to stand in front of Inuyasha. As Kagura's attack grew closer to her, flames surrounded both Kaori and Inuyasha (since she was protecting him), creating a protective shield around them. Kagura's attack hit the protective fire barrier, stopping in its tracks completely and fading away.

"What?! How can this be?!" Kagura yelled.

The protective fire barrier vanished and Kaori dropped to her knees, feeling weak suddenly. "That...took a lot of my energy..." she thought.

"She certainly is full of surprises, isn't she?" Naraku questioned loudly to no one in particular.

Suddenly, an arrow was fired and it pierced Kanna's mirror. Kaori looked towards where Kagome was and sure enough, it had been Kagome who fired the arrow. The arrow went right into the mirror.

"The arrow went through," Kanna said, looking at her glowing mirror. "It didn't deflect."

"What's going on? Why didn't it strike back at her?" Kagura asked.

"I understand. The arrow is made up of souls. The mirror is entirely filled. Unless the souls are released, the mirror will burst," Kanna explained.

All the souls were then released and Naraku, Kanna, and Kagura escaped. Kaori held Inuyasha in her arms. Suddenly, he was healed.

Inuyasha groaned a bit. He could still feel the pain but the wounds were no longer there. "How... How did you...?"

"I...have no idea," Kaori said. She smiled and started crying tears of joy now. "I don't care. You're okay. You're still here; you're alive. I'm so happy."

Inuyasha sat up and held Kaori close. "Yeah, I'm still here."

Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku watched them, smiling. Sango was still unconscious on Kirara's back.

"So not only can she control fire, she can heal others," Miroku said.

"Maybe her dad could do that," Kagome suggested. "Or maybe her mother was a special kind of...human."

"Who cares about that?" Shippo questioned. "Kaori is even cooler now." Kagome laughed.

There's the new chapter. So Kaori can heal others too and not just the normal half-demon stuff and her power over fire. Wonderful, no? xD

Naraku WILL eventually capture Kaori. He will. I know exactly when it will be the best time for him to do so, which is why I haven't let him actually kidnap her, even though he has the power to do so anytime he wishes.
