Author's Note:
Woooooo!! Yay! I got more reviews! ^_^ I feel happy enough to make another
chapter.
Now before you reply me with a "girl, this stuff sucks" hear me out, I do
try kindly with my writings. Hey, it may be late, so "Good. Slow. Cheap.
Choose two"
Then there is my excuse for the lateness.
So this one should be covering up that last scene with Kanna and more...And
I'll Reply Reviews.
Demon Ashika: Thanks for your review! ^_^ The next chappie is loading.
lynnxlady: I don't really know everything about Kanna, no one does like you said, so that is why I have to make up emotions as I go along. I know that last chapter must be waaaaaaay OOC smack right there, but that's the way I
play. I try to keep the anger she has in check, the ending to this story should be a doozy. Now about my grammer. I never have exactly had much of a spelling problem before, because here is a fact, I'm sometimes known as to spell words out that I don't know the definition to. See? That's what I do
sometimes, and for the fact that I am jipped-out-of- luck I have no
spellchecker on WordPad, and that bites. And my mom can't even spell
diamond. But thanks for pointing out my mistakes. ^_^. Aswell with the
spacing... o.o wow it does look kinda cramped don't it? I'll fix that for
this chapter.
Ginta: YAY! Another Kanna-wanna-reader!! ^_^ Thanks for the compliments,
and I hope you soon make another chapter for 'The Dance of the Gummy Bear
Fairy' It's sooo adorable!!
Disclaimer: Damn. Sorry. My Kouga is still on lay-away, please contact me
later.

Freedom, she asks
Chapter 4, Of Being Spotted, and Letting Go of The Past
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-
After a minute of realization, she angrily whipped away the tears that have
been spilled down her pale features. And wrong movement in the scent she
hides, then InuYasha-tachi would snag her out of the darkness for sure.
It was as if she was schizophrenic. One minute she was Dr. Jeckel, the next
was Mr. Hyde.
What was wrong? Why such a sudden change in heart? What the hell was true
freedom?
These questions were swarming Kanna's mind as she slowly looked up from her
mirror, to the ceiling of her home. Her eyes glazed over then formed into
those two familiar slits of black she was so used to.
As if nothing happened.
*sniff* ... *sniff* 'What the hell?' Shippo who finally claimed that he was
still here, saw InuYasha sniff around as if finding something.
"What is it InuYa--*sniff*--tears? I smell them!" Shippo exclaimed, "So
that girl must be close around here!!"
"Shippo, please keep your voice down, you don't want her to hear us do
you?" Miroku stated though as if positive she heard them already and
scampered off to God-knows- where, Shippou only shook his head in reply.
They came to a large segment of the castle, It was dark but tollerable for
light... For now they hoped.
Sango and Miroku felt skeptical about the whole ordeal, but nothing
happened to them so far but a few encounters with stuttering lights, brakings of glass, and rattling bones because of thier semi-nervous state,
but they both kept thier looks about it under wraps.
It was slowly getting colder in the area. But they did not notice this.
On another part of reality, InuYasha, Kagome, Shippou and Myouga looked
almost up to a challenge. Not that Miroku and Sango didn't, but this part
of the group didn't really lose much to Naraku, but InuYasha was frazzled
inside himself.
Sango and Miroku on the other hand, lost thier families.
Avengence is sweet, and InuYasha just happened to have a sweet tooth. The
whole group in summary was ready for something, anything.
They made idol chit-chat about the shard and Naraku, casually glancing at
each other to see how they were doing, of course. And getting caught
sometimes in the process, blushing tickle-me- pink colors.
If Naraku-sama caught the scent of her tears, he surely would banish her from his kingdom. Claiming her as a "meer weak daughter who is nothing but
nothing". She wouldn't want that.
Death was her job, may it be through hell and high waters to make her stop! '..Can't let him do that. Even if he is my father-figure. Then I'd have no
choice but to turn against him.. and rid of his--Oh Damnit!' Since Kanna was so wrapped up in these thoughts, she let go of her grip to keep herself
hidden, and casually stepped in sight of the heroes path.
'..Tsk-tsk.... Kanna-girl.. you lost.'
The InuYasha gang stopped dead in thier tracks to look at the young
mistress of nothingness.
Her face was calm, and abit tear- streaked around the cheeks.
She saw thier expressions, and turned to flee at a fast pace. The gang
turned a bit frustrated at spirit and tailed after her. "Damn this game! Just hand over the shard of the sacred jewel and maybe we won't hurt you as bad!!" InuYasha shouted at Kanna's back. She was atleast 8 feet away from a near exit, she could continue her get-away and continue
with her plans, or she could turn and work something o--'Wait. Did he
say... a jewel shard?'
Kanna slowly turned to face the angry people in her house, same dull face
and expression, but on the inside she was curious at his statement.
"Did you say...Shard of the sacred jewel?" Kanna spoke.
"No," InuYasha retorted rolling his eyes, "I said a rock piece."
"InuYasha!" Kagome said warningly, jerking her head slightly at Kanna's
'Not-so-easy-to-please' face. She surely wasn't in the mood for games.
"Damn, can't take a joke I see. There is a shard piece around here, and
we're not leaving till we get it!" He finished off.
The lady's face changed into a more thoughtful one. Well, you could call it
that for now.
Kanna remembered something that was hidden in the inside of her kimono-like
dress. It was kinda poking her in the side now, and it was a bother.
"It's in her kimono pocket!" Kagome shouted out pointing to the left side
of her outfit, and surely, there it was.
A pocket.
Fairly small and unnoticable, but it was there. Kanna frowned. 'Now I
notice, I coulda had more fun....But I lost, carelessly.' But a memory
shook it's cobwebs, and she remembered when she first recieved it.
---=== FLASHBACK ===---
"Kanna..." The man smirked down at an exclusively younger stage of his offspring, but not too young to the mind. "Keep this, use it for protection
against anything...I doubt you'll need it. But I'm trusting you to use
it..." He slipped the shard into the girl's hands and she stared at it in
awe.
"I promise, Naraku-sama!" Kanna looked at her father as a daughter would to
a dad who just did the most important thing to her in her life. He left
before she could say it, but she had a feeling he heard it anyways. " I
won't let you down..." And she went to her sister to tell her the news.
---=== END FLASHBACK ===---
Kanna took out the shard from her pocket and placed the points between her
thumb and index finger at eye-level.
"Oh...this?... My father gave it too me when I was just a bit
younger...My..protection.." She stated at a pace of tad happiness..and
anger, for they wanted to take away the only thing he gave to her, as a
gift. And a protector...But lately he hasn't been himself. The shards of his till were growing at a fast amount, over 30 pieces, with her's it's 31.
And she was being less noticed around here as the days went on.
Sometimes when she was hungry, the game Naraku-sama killed would be cooked, and eaten before she would notice, or have a chance to eat. She was blindly being pushed into the shadows, only used for battle....Like a toy never to
be played with again...
But now it was her turn to make a choice.
"Yes, that." Sango snapped. "We want it--so give it to us.." Her ungoldy
sized boomerang-bone in her two hands. "What're you waiting for little
girl...do you want to die, or do you want to--"
'There is only one way from now on...I'm old enough for
responsibility...I'll make them a trade of a lifetime.'
Silence.
"I see you want to take this the HARD way then--!" InuYasha revealed his
sharp claws outward and lunged twords the girl.
"INUYASHA! NO--" "I'll give it to you..."
Kanna voiced calmly yet darkly, interupting Kagome's shouts and InuYasha's
approach to attack. "She's plotting something, Lord InuYasha, be
careful..." Myouga stated from his perch on his master's prayer beads.
"What was that you say?" Miroku told Kanna, he was just as suprised and curious at the girl's intentions to just 'give it to them.'? Something was
wrong with that picture.
"I'll give it to you..." She repeated "...On one condition.."
Sango frowned, "Which would be...?"
"Freedom."
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Stange ending. It's NOT the END of the story though!
Will the InuYasha-tachi accept this trade? Or will they fight for it
instead? Or might Naraku come and reclaim what was his long ago? That in
the next chapter or two.
I must say, this seemed abit longer then the last couple of chapters I
made.
*shrugs* I'll be starting on the next chapter of this story, and may I
recommend you read 'Misty Forests'? You don't have to, It's not about
Kikyou really, But it's a great mini story/poem.
It'll take nearly 7 minutes or less to read, but I guarentee you'll love
it! ^_^ review for me, please.
Much eerieness and love,
Hirari the 9th GOMS
chapter.
