Kanna. The small child with white hair, clutching a mirror. She entered the
village without a word, a shadow with the darkening sky, as she walked
towards the hut where Kagome stayed.
/...you can't hear me. But I'm trying./
Thump.
--
The mirror. Kanna had a mirror. But maybe Onigumo meant something that didn't exist. Something that was just -there-. And it had to be broken. Thump. The world shook, and her heart skipped a beat. Thump. Kikyou grinned. Malice. Such a face, such a lovely face should not be able to hold such malice, but it did, because Kagome thought it so. Onigumo looked innocent, for when Kagome saw him, he was a child. And now he was feigning the costume of Inuyasha.
Kagome walked towards them, and raised her hand to strike Kikyou. "I wouldn't do that. You'd only hurt yourself. We're in you. Kill us, you die. Smart girls would stop now, and give up. Go home, take a shower, kiss your mother, and go to bed. It would be the last time you could see them. You want to see him don't you? Is that what makes you keep going? Kanna's coming for him. To see if he really can save you. Naraku likes to test. I heard you tell him 'mirror'. And she'll bring him a mirror. He'll be stuck with you. And you'll die."
He'd be here? Kagome almost smiled, but she was too scared.
--
/You're going to find the mirror, and then you will see me...and I can wake up. He's getting the jewel. He's.../
/...almost done...gomen./
Kanna, the void, being one, she beared no scent in her wake nor did she spoke to alarm him of her presence. Her approach went unknown.
That is.. until that thump echoed to the habitants of the hut. Perhaps it had only meant something to one of them, or perhaps both.
He had waited for her, for something from her to give him a hint what he was to do. By then, he has had enough of sitting in one place and had ached to move about but at the same time, refused to leave her alone.
The odd thump caught his attention, it didn't sound like anything he could easily recognize. It wasn't the taijiya's bone weapon hitting the ground nor was it the houshi being crushed under some demon's claws. Turning his attention to the door, he stood studying the echo before a shifting a look back to the unconscious girl.
Raising the blinds that covered the door out and over his head, he peeked outside, and unexpectedly seeing the void he was about to search for coming towards them. He had almost snickered at that.. almost.
"Stay here." He turned over his shoulder to speak to the absentminded girl, seemingly those words out from instinct. Stepping out, the blinds flapped and shut, he stood upon the small clearing before the hut.
"It's her mirror." He watched her approach. "Perhaps this won't take -too- long." His hand neared the hilt of the Tetsusaiga, though knowing too well what her mirror can do, he held back from an offensive assult.
'Did she.. capture her soul again?'
