Chapter Three- "Kohaku" I whispered to the boy holding me tight. "Yes, Kanna" he replied. His voice was deep. It was sexy. It was seductive.

"Do you hate my father that much?" I asked him. He gave me a look I did not like one bit. "No, I hate him for doing this to me. To my family. To my villagers. To my sister, Sango." He said while he shed a tear. I lifted my finger and wiped it away. He looked at me and forced a smile. "But my feelings for him don't change our friendship right." He looked into my eyes. I couldn't take it anymore. I raised my head and pressed my lips upon his freckled cheek. It felt awkward, yet so right. "Kanna... I-I" he began but stopped himself. He leaned in to kiss me. I gave into the kiss almost immediately. I was jumping out of my skin. Time has frozen. Nothing mattered to me now. I pulled away slowly. I looked into his eyes again and wrapped my arms around him tighter. "Kohaku, will you never leave me?" I begged him. "Kanna, I couldn't leave you nor would I want to. I love you, Kanna." Kohaku spoke while stroking my hair with his hand. I grabbed it and held on to it as if my life depended it. I nuzzled my head into his built chest. I quickly rose from my position when I heard footsteps approach. I stood up and looked at the entrance to the dueling room. "Run!" I whispered to Kohaku in his ear. He looked at me for a second and caressed my cheek. He then stood up and ran. A very strict feminine face entered the room. Her bow and arrow clutched in her what appeared to be hands. A chill ran up my spine as the dead miko took her aim and then shot. "Who goes?" she questioned hearing my footsteps towards the door. I didn't even bother saying who I am. Kikyo turned around and looked at me. "Hi Kanna. Practicing for a fight?" Kikyo asked me sweetly. "Hai. No one would play with me so I practiced my fighting skills." I mumbled. "You wanna practice together?" Kikyo asked me. I nodded in return. Like father, I could never deny a fight. I lifted my mirror from beside me. I narrowed my eyes and bowed my head signaling that I was prepared to duel. Kikyo took the first shot. She aimed her arrow at my arm and shot. It turned a purplish color from the purification she gave the arrow. I shone my mirror to the arrow and the arrow changed coarse. A blue light emitted from my mirror and I went to see what was wrong. The image of Kohaku was reflecting. Told Kikyo to stop and I ran to Kohaku's room and pulled the curtains away. "Something wrong Kohaku." I said while entering his room. It was filled with his sent, but not his flesh. "KOHAKU!" I yelled very loudly. There was no response. I went to tell father. I ran to father's room. His hands were completely red. Kohaku's sent arose from his hands. It couldn't be. "Father! Where is Kohaku? What have you done to him?" I demanded. He smirked. "That boy is no longer needed. The power of his sister, Sango, however is. I made a little... agreement with her. I would only release her brother if she took his place. She rejected me. I then told her that her rejection would cost her dearly. Her brother's life is dearer to her then anything. I shall take that." Father cooed. I took a step back. "Father... how could you!" I screamed lifting my sword and walking towards my father. "It is now when we end it father. End this misery you have brought upon Kagura. Upon that dog demon and that monk. Upon that demon slayer and myself. But most of all... you must pay all you have slayed. " I said raising my sword. "Muino, Ruiyo, seize her at once" father said turning his head away from me. Little did I know, red orbs were glaring at me.
