Chapter 2 Stealing my Heart
Kanna stayed by the side of her dead sister for hours. Then a thought struck her.
'I want revenge. However, Naraku holds my heart, I must get it back.' she thought angrily as his name passed through her head. She clenched her fists angrily as she shook with anger and hatred.
"Why am I feeling all these new emotions?" she asked herself is small and nearly silent voice. "Dam!" she yelled into the cold and hollow night air. She shook her head as she turned her gaze to Naraku's fortress. She knew he wasn't there so she had a clear shot of getting her heart back. She smirked evily as she ran to the fortress.
She was able to enter is easily enough, however, this was the easy part. She tiptoed through the many twisting and winding hallways until she came to the room of Naraku. Up on top of a shell, lay several jars. Each one pulsing with energy. Her heart. However, one jar looked dead, no doubt the jar that once held Kagura's heart.
Kanna looked down at the ground as tears of anger and sadness flowed down her face and began to pool on the ground. She wiped them off her face with the end of her sleeve. She could instantly tell which one belonged to her. She reached up to claim it and was repelled.
"Shit." she cursed angrily as her burnt hand began to smoke slightly. She found it to be nearly painless. She sat on the ground as many thoughts raced through her mind. She didn't have much longer to just be sitting there doing nothing. She needed a plan now.
She looked down at the fan of Kagura. She pulled it off her sash and opened it. She used the wind it created to move her heart jar to her. It worked. The jar came to her and when she touched it, the heart inside returned to inside of her.
She dropped the jar and pressed her hand to her chest. A thumping feeling made her smile. Her actual first smile ever. She only wished that Kagura had thought of this long ago. Then again, maybe she did. Yes, Kanna remembered now.
(flashback.)
Kagura walked down a dimly lit hallway and then stopped. She came face to face with Naraku. She smirked in a smug sort of way. She crossed her arms in her usual manner and looked at Naraku.
"I know a way to get my heart back." she said lightly. Naraku gave a small smirk as he spoke.
"Really, you do? Then tell me Kagura, why have you not yet left." he asked her. Kagura looked down the hall and then down the other side. She looked back at her 'father'.
"Kanna, is the only thing keeping me here." she said before turning around and walking the other way. All the while, Kanna stood listening, using her mirror to see them.
(end flashback)
"It's all my fault!" she yelled at herself. "She could have left any time, but.....but.... I was holding her back from her one and only desire!" she cried. Hot tears rolled down her face, her eyes going slightly red from all her crying. Then, she sensed Naraku was near. She quickly ran out of his room and down several halls before she was outside once more.
She came to Kagura's side once out of the fortress. She held her sisters cold hand once more before she pulled the feathers out of Kagura's hair. She tossed one into the air and used it to pass through Naraku's barrior.
She couldn't beleive how easy that was. Or, did Naraku set all this up. He had predicted their movements before. No, he couldn't have. She nodded her head in agreement with her idea's that he couldn't have thought of all this. She looked to the sky and gave a small laugh of triumpth.
Then she fell asleep on the soft feather beneath her. The wind carried it's new master along gently like rocking a child to sleep. Kanna fell into a deep sleep. One of Kagura and her dream to be free.
