Sugoi. People actually reviewed! I'm a'gonna make this chapter longer then the last. I know the last one was veeery short! Sorry about that. I guess I
have a little bit of time to personally respond reviews then! ^-~

profiler120: Exactly! Kanna is one of my favorite characters in the whole
InuYasha series. I have never read a fanfiction (ya know, besides mine)
based on Kanna, or her feelings. It's always Naraku in battles, or
searching shards, being free. Kagura and her release, he beauty, blah,
yatta-yatta. I just wish to read more Kanna fics, myself. ^-^

shikome kido mi: Yep! More fics based on Kanna I wish. She is special as
any other character, why can't the light shine on her? Everytime I ask
someone about InuYasha, or mention Naraku, they are all on the lines of
saying, 'OoOh, lordy. that girl is freaky, she is a retard. help someone
save me. she is a retard.' And like I mentioned before, I always like the underdogs of anime, such as Kanna. And sorry about my typos. I'm working on
Wordpad, and mine doesn't have a spellchecker, my mom is my spellchecker.
Har-har, she can spell either. It was her fault I say! For the fact that
I'm most likely younger then you are, I say, I did an ok job. ^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own 'em yet--but I do have Kouga on Lay-Away, at my
local Wal-Mart!

And so, the story lives on!!

Freedom, she asks

Chapter 2, I am the Game, and I want to play

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

'They're here....' a gentle wind wisped by carrying the scent of humans and a youkai and a half-demon. 'Ahh...InuYasha has come to play. And he brought his friends, too. Oh, how pleasent of him.' Oh what fun might be in store.

Kanna descended back up the great stone steps, unscented hair playing with
the wind. '...pleasent indeed,' she smirked leaving to enter apon the
gloomy castle once more. But with a plan in mind.

"HENTAI!!!!" *slap!* Yes, a normal day indeed in Sengoku Jidai. Well, If
you can call it normal..

"Keep your filthy hands off my butt, houshi!" Sango growled, 'How many does
this make it today? The 25th time?'

"Why Sango, I'm insulted. I was only just trying to--"
"You know what, houshi? Save it for another time." and with one more slap
for one more grope, she stomped up to InuYasha, Kagome, and Shippou who
were currently afront, chatting about Jewel shards.

"The last I sensed some, they were about 5 miles to the East. About a 2 day
journey, to say the least. But now I sense one just about a mile ahead!"
Kagome cheered happily along her way, Shippou not too far behind her.

"But Kagome-chan, isn't this the territory of Naraku's castle?"

A little pause of silence.

"Hate to say it, but the brat is right. The shard must be coming from
Naraku's place. Be on your guard, all of you."
There stood InuYasha, high and mighty as always. Moving in just alittle
closer to Kagome's side just incase an ambush occured, hand by his
Tetsusaiga. Kagome didn't seem to notice this, since she was getting prepared with her
bow and arrows.

As does Sango with her Boomerang-bone, and Miroku with his enchanted beads
controlling his personal Air Void. They continued on cautiously.

The group were 20 minutes away from Kanna's plotting when InuYasha caught a
scent that told him Naraku nor Kagura were around since they were edging closer to thier castle. But someone else was there. It was a faint scent, a
powdery yet tiny hint of vanilla-musk, mostly hidden by the fact of what
the person represented, lingered there.

Everything has a smell of it's own. 'Feh..can't quite pinpoint the scent, but it's too familiar to forget..hey..wasn't there that girl..? I wonder--'
"InuYasha? You look like you're in deep thought, is something wrong? Is
someone coming?"
Kagome was getting worried by the distant look on InuYasha's face. And
when he thinks, he looks too silent for one's comfort.

InuYasha stopped in his tracks. "It's an uncertain scent, but it's coming
not to far from here. It reminds me of that young looking wench..what was
her name..?"

He started putting familiar parts of different names together to make it
all add up. But he failed.
'Yep..I have waaay too many enemies.'

"Yes, I too, seem to remember a quite albino looking maiden. But neither
can I remember her name." Miroku piped in, when he honestly knew who
InuYasha mentioned.

All failing to notice a swift of white, flash behind them.

"I agree with houshi-sama." And before Sango could finish, Kagome had
realized how close they were to Naraku's dwelling.
"Uhh..you guys...we're here." She pointed to the entrance, that was about
12 feet away, proving her point.

But a story above them, Kanna glowered coldy at the top of thier heads from
that window drenched in black. 'So I estimate Naraku-sama, and Kagura-san will be back here in a day or so...' her eyes hardened. 'In the meantime I
will have my own fun to keep my mind...off of things.' She chuckled
monotoningly and sunk deeper into the depths of her home.

"Well, damnit! I just don't trust this place one bit. How will we know that
there won't be any deadly poisons, or mysterious youkai out to kill us?!"
InuYasha spat out.

"That's the point, InuYasha. We don't know. We just, have to find out."
pitched in Kagome, of course she didn't know. But like InuYasha had said
after the battle against Yura of the Hair (another person who should be
recognized), After everything you've seen, are you one bit suprised?. 'I
guess he was right..'

" 'WE JUST HAVE TO FIND OUT?!' DONT GIVE ME THAT SHIT WENCH!!" jumping up,
making a fit about Kagome's way of words.

Nothing was really wrong, he just took everything so seriously at the
time.. and was a bit nervous entering his greatest enemy's household.
Who wouldn't be?

"Calm down, InuYasha. Lady-Kagome was only stating the facts." Bad mistake
on Miroku's part.

"Feh." or not.

Sango and Kagome were chatting amoungst themselves, trying to regain memory
of her name. It was dangling at thier tounges, but it didn't seem to roll
off correctly. Shippou fast asleep perched on Kagome's shoulder blade.

"Kirita?"

"nah..Kulla?"

"Can't be."

"Kerreitanah?"

Sango glanced a look at Kagome, a sure-who-the-hell-names-their-child-that-
dumb- name-you-silly-goose, kinda look.

"Kanna."

"Yeah! Now I remember!! That was the name! Kanna! Thanks Sango!"

Kagome was about to give her friend a cheerful smile when Sango stopped
her.

"Kagome-chan..I didn't say anything." InuYasha and Miroku pacing tword the
two scared girls also hearing the same voice.

A small, ghastly albino child-like form (or what looked like a child to the
eye) hovered in the entrance of the opened doorway. Her hair swung in one
direction in the light breeze. Her creamy white skin and partially
transparent figure told them that she was the essence of nothingness, her
mirror firm in place to thier perfect composition.

Glinting in the eyes of the golden sun. Face expressionless.

"Would you like to come in?" 'This is going set my day ablaze.I knew they
were scared of Naraku-sama, but this is child's play.'

Then leaving them to make a descision, she dissappeared back into the
castle.

ok, was that alittle longer? I can't tell. I suck. I'm lazy. It's S.A.T. week, I want to die. I am trying to think of more ideas for this story, and I think I'm getting somewhere. Sorry if you don't like my writing style, I
haven't taken writing courses. And if any OOCness is in my story, forgive
me for that too. can I get 2 or 3 more reviews to continue? Thank you for
reading, now please review!

Much love and Neuroticness,
