Sesshomaru picked up Kagura's distinctive scent quickly. He darted through
the tall trees in the dense, dark forest. Suddenly, a girl appeared before
him. He looked down upon the girl, studying her. He reverted to his human
form, and drew his toukijin.
"Where is Kagura, you must know . . . you smell of Naraku." He was certain
that this girl was linked to Kagura. Her dress was white, and her skin was
pale. Her white hair cascaded down upon a mirror which she gripped with
both hands. The girl's eyes were cold and empty, and her face had a blank
expression upon it. She looked directly at Sesshomaru, it seemed as though
her eyes were looking right through him. The girl didn't answer Sesshomaru
at first, she seemed to tell many stories through her eyes, all stories of
death and betrayal.
Then, suddenly she spoke in a meak, monotoned voice, "My sister . . . she
has asked me to rob you of a soul, but how can this be yours . . . all I
see of it is a fragment innocence and grief . . . all for a lost love. A
girl, she mourns, because she cannot find you."
Sesshomaru gazed at the girl in a rage, "Enough! You will tell me where
Kagura is, or I will cut your throat! I am no human, I have no soul. Your
witchcraft has no affect on me." He raised his sword, clenched his fangs
and gave a soft growl.
"It was a child . . . yes, I can see her. I can see the one person you have
loved. It is her soul that I am seeing." A soft wind then came from behind
Sesshomaru.
"Her soul will do." Kanna assured herself. Sesshomaru watched in a state of
shock as he saw the innocent soul of what once was his young Rin being
pulled into the mirror that the girl had in her small pale hands.
"How can this be, Rin is dead. She should have passed on . . ."
Sesshomaru's eyes widened.
"The girl lingers on earth in pain, for the one who cared for her is the
one who took her life." Kanna knew that she would break Sesshomaru's spirit
soon.
"No . . . I had to do it, she was suffering . . . my tenseiga, if onlyI. ."
Sesshomaru looked into the mirror, realizing what Rin's fate would now be.
He looked down on the girl in hatred. "I will NOT let you imprison MY
CHILD!"
With all of his strength, Sesshomaru plunged his sword into the small
mirror which now contained Rin's soul. Kanna's blank expression now faded
into fear. Her small body was thrown against a tree, as her mirror
shattered. Beams of light came shining through the cracks, and Rin's soul
was freed. Sesshomaru watched in relief as Rin's essence began to reach for
the sky.
