A/N:
^_~ Guess who's back to boot? ME! *ques 'Im Back' music*
Got some info for you, this story is nearing an end. About 2 more chapters
(including this one) and then it should be final.
I'm only updating when I'm sick from school. My interim report displays I have been absent from school 11 times in the last quarter. Makes you wonder what my mom does to let me stay home doesn't it? Moms........creepy. _
Oh Yea! This story is OOC.. but not by too much. I tried to keep this in a long shot, no one really knows too much about Kanna.. so I filled in the
gaps myself as you can see.
Now for review responses!

lynnxlady: Thank you for reviewing every chapter I made to this story. I do enjoy your pointing outs of my mistakes, sometimes I'm in such a rush to
write I do some stupid things.
I haven't taken any computer courses, or use any HTML documents to make this story parted, I suck at allignment, I know it, but I try my best to make it understandable. So in my next stories that are coming up, I'm going
to be working harder I hope. ^_^ I also know that "Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde" skit I put in there was made until later years. But since I'm from the future and already know about it I put that in there. Confused? It's kinda strange to explain, but Kanna didn't
think she was Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde I, myself, mentioned she was...see I
confused myself there. Oh well. I guess I'll avoid that next time. Thanks for offering to beta this story, but it's alright. Like I mentioned before, I'm making new stories later on, so I really wouldn't wanna waste your time for you to read my sloppy copies. ^_^ But none-the-less, thanks
for the offer! I really feel glad when I'm actually being taken into
consideration!
-- Demon Ashika: Over 30 shards? o.o Wow I didn't estimate enough now did I? You're a perfectionist, neh? ^_^ Don't worry about being picky and pointing out a mere mistake if you think it's gonna get me mad, cuz it doesn't! I *do* love honest reviews, and thank you for pointing out my error. Sorry
about that. ^_^

That was all I got, I hope I get more soon when I post this. Bah!

Freedom, she asks
Chapter 5 - The Trade
-=-=-
Another wave of that damned eerie silence. Everyone was a bit shocked at
this request. Since they were expecting more along the lines of a skin
to... skin combat?
Kanna started to take this the wrong way and frowned. "Well...what will it
be?"
Miroku glanced his sparkling violet eyes over to the demon-maiden. "Could
you please specify on behalf of your request for... freedom, you ask?"
"Why would a wench like you want freedom? You have a roof over your head, and food to supply your hunger and a forest to keep your place hidden, what more freedom could someone like you ask for?" InuYasha strained the last
'you' on his sentence to prove his point. But not enough.
Kanna's narrow rigid eyes flickered over to the half-breed with taint
sorrow, hatred.. and that mysterious look of plead. But it didn't show
much, but InuYasha knew it was there. Clear as day.
Kanna fully turned around to face the group and edged away to see them in her full view before speaking. "...Someone like you would never understand the power of a demon's belief," glaring particularly at InuYasha, then to
the nearest window.
"You may heed my words as crazy, or as a stupid wish. But say what you
must, I speak what I want. And what I want is to be free."
Sango and Miroku both were moved but the little speech. They know what it
is like to be kept from what you want to do most. Some of the village's
laws made sure of that. But what they didn't know was that one who has been by Naraku's side the longest, was that all along, the one who didn't
want to be.
Slave matter was a big problem for The Warring States era. The most high
and mighty villages all around had a slave to drive.
But the hardest slave to tame was the one of the spirit. And once you were in, the only way to escape was to overcome the slayer. ...And so you sit there wondering, 'how can a spirit of nothingness stop the most evil man in history, when demons amoung demons can't lift a claw
to him?'
Fathers have ways.
Myouga was particularly interested by this approach of well-fare. He was a
man of his time, and was thinking the same thoughts others in that very
room were wondering about. The old flee sighed.
"I do fully understand the desire now."
"That must be awful to be rasied in such a way... What kind of a father would do such a thing to thier own flesh and blood?" Kagome's eyes glazed over with tears not to be spilled. Kanna truly didn't like the pity she was
recieving, but if it meant her wish to be granted, so be it.
InuYasha, frankly, was getting torn up inside by the rage and forming tears that he was seeing. So if letting a mere demon free for Kagome's happiness
again, he'd do anything.
"So how are we to help you out with this?" In a flash Kagome, Sango and Shippou were all at her side asking her random questions. And in the least, Kanna was freaked out by thier forwardness. On the inside grateful none the
less.
"There is only one thing that bothers me..." Miroku wasn't by Kanna's side
still, he quirked an eyebrow at the young pale form.
"What is it Miroku?" Sango asked a tad worried. She could have sworn he had the same feelings she had. Since all they've been through, who wouldn't?
She listened more intentally then anyone else in the room.
"If we do help release you from the binds of Naraku, how are we to be sure you won't continue a killing spree once our backs are to you? How can we trust you when you were made from every strand of blood to bone through our
greast enemy's power?" Miroku's face grew more serious with each word.
"How can we trust you?"
Kanna was baffled at the monk's rudeness and assertiveness. But didn't show
it. Because deep down inside, she knew how he felt.
"You can trust no one in this world. Every object and human has it's angles and edges. But it is up to your heart and intuition to choose who to belive and who to decieve..." Kanna again flickered her ice-black eyes to InuYasha at a pace only demons can catch up to, she turned her head to the floor.
"Each and every person in this room has been betrayed," Glancing over to InuYasha who understood what she was speaking of, he fell remotely silent. "soul-weaved," her small beady eyes swung in Kagome's direction. After a moment of thought and rememberance, tears pricked at her eyes. As the room grew solemnly quieter, they saw her tears but didn't understand why she was
crying. InuYasha the most startled..and sad. But Kanna noted this, and
continued.
"and hurt." and soon the ghastly figure slowly tilted her eyes once more to
the three stunned faces of Sango, Miroku, and Shippou.
Prying his eyes away from the solemn Kagome, InuYasha spoke.
"What in the hell does this have to do with anything?" He asked.
"You have to place your trust in me. It's the only way for me to be able to leave this place. You don't understand. How it's like to--" She was cut-off from her quick pace of speaking by a sudden jerk in the forest below the window of widow-black curtained curtains. Her head and soon her whole body
and concentration snapped twords the window. She looked deep into the
forest where she saw a blow a wind rushing in from the trees.
Shippou popped up near the sill of the window. "I have a strange feeling
we're in for something.."
Kagome peered out the window just in time to see the same slicing winds
coming in from the north of the forest rim.
"Kag...ura?"

I lied in my author's note. This will be more then just two more chapters left. I just had to throw some suspence in there since the freggin thing
was gonna end up with a clique ending if I just set Kanna free.
It's like sending a pitbull into an antique shop and telling it to not
touch anything.
This chapter wasn't very long was it? But I bet I spelt better then other
chapters.
Anyways, please review now that you've read. It makes sence doesn't it? Why read a story then not respond to it in the end? 60 seconds out of your day
won't hurt would it?
atleast 2 or 3 more reviews in order me to continue, if you oppose against
it, too bad. Inspiration works wonders! ^_~
I must be going now! *waves*
