Chapter 3. Changes
Kagome sat next to a large fire that burned brightly. She watched the flames dance around merrily. The blur of colors made her eyes hurt after a while. She looked up at the sky. The moon lay in a cresent. Then, an object flew past the moon. Cutting through the peaceful night she could hear the wind howling.
"Kagura." Kagome said remembering that Kagura used those feathers. She stood and grabbed her bow and arrows and slunk away from the rest of her friends. She went into a run when she was a good distance away from them. She stopped as the feather landed and someone rolled off.
It was too dark to see the person so Kagome began to moved closer, which wasn't a good idea. The person rose up quickly and jumped backwards away from her. She could see a pair of fangs that glistened under the pale moonlight. Then, she saw a mirror in the hands of the person.
"Kanna." Kagome said instantly recognizing the mirror. Kagome pulled out her bow and notched an arrow in it. She let the arrow fly at Kannaa, and instead of her using her mirror she used a fan. The arrow was then thrown into the air upwards and carried away by the wind.
Kagome's horror stricken face fell pale as she was ill. She fell to her knees and looked up at her opponent. Kanna stepped out of the shadows so Kagome could see her. Kagome glared at Kanna, who held her mirror out in front of her and Kagura's fan at her waist.
"Why, do you hold Kagura's weapon Kanna?" Kagome demanded. Kanna glared at her soon found that her emotion of sadness and sorrow was too much for her. Hot tears rolled down her face from her eyes. Kagome looked taken back by this action and felt sorry for whatever she had just said.
Kanna wiped the tears off her face and rubbed her eyes. She swallowed loudly with guilt as she gazed at the ground.
"Naraku killed her." she mummbled under her breath. Kagome looked shocked as she spoke, for Kanna could not control her new emotions. Soon she began to pound the earth angrily with her fists, creating small holes from where she hit the ground.
"Damn him!" she yelled at the moon that hung lazily up in the sky. "I'm going to kill him!" she shouted once more as the wind picked up a lot and soon trees were falling out of place and Kagome had trouble staying on the ground.
"Kanna, please! Calm yourself, if you don't your going to tear this place apart!" Kagome yelled over the howling and screeching of the wind, that she now controled. Kanna took a few deep breaths as the wind stopped.
"I wish to join you and your cause." she said in her cold emotionless voice. Kagome looked shocked at this. Kanna had always been one who didn't wish for friends, companions, or anyone else. She was a loner and having her around made Kagome nervious.
"Why join us?" she asked quite interested in her answer. Kanna lowered her mirror and dropped it. It made a clank on the ground, but didn't brake or even scar itself.
"I wish for revenge on my sisters behalf." Kanna answered simply as she dropped to the ground and watched her mirror as if it might do something on it's own. Kagome looked down at the child she now felt such pain for.
"It's fine with me, but you must promise to bring no harm to us, understand?" Kagome asked the pain filled girl. She looked up and nodded slowly. Kagome outstretched a hand and helped Kanna up. Kanna clutched her mirror next to her body as she walked behind Kagome.
They reached camp by sunrise, because Kanna was explaining her position to Kagome. Kagome didn't speak as they reached the camp site. Inuyasha was still alseep, but Sango and Miroku were wide awake.
"Stay here, until I call for you." Kagome whispered to the girl. Kanna nodded in understanding as Kagome left her.
"Kagome-chan, we were so worried about you." Sango greeted her friend with a bright face. Miroku didn't speak, but simply smiled as he woke Inuyasha.
"About time, you got back Kagome. By the way, where were you. I couldn't even catch your scent anywhere?" he asked as he walked up to her. Kagome smiled at her friends, however inside she was frowning. She took a deep breath before she said anything.
"I found someone who would like to help us in our quest to kill Naraku. Someone who I beleive we can fully trust." Kagome said weakly. Sango smiled while Inuyasha frowned.
"That's wonderful Kagome-chan, where is this person you speak of?" she asked lightly while looking around. Kagome pointed towards the place where Kanna was.
"You can come out." she called to her. Kanna hesitated at first, but regained her silent and evil like look. As she stepped from the forest Sango's face went blank and Miroku looked like he had just gotten hit with something. Inuyasha jumped out in front of her and pulled out his blade.
"This is a trick, you must have killed the person Kagome was talking, so I'll kill y....." Inuyasha got cut off as a loud 'Sit' command was given and Inuyasha fell into the ground with a loud thud.
"Inuyasha, she is the person I was speaking about." Kagome said in an annoyed voice. "I'm sorry about that Kanna." Kagome apologized.
"It's not like I'm not used to seeing this halfling running around waving his sword at the innocent." Kanna remarked. Inuyasha growled angrily.
"How can you be innocent! Didn't you try to kill us before on several accounts!" Inuyasha yelled as he pointed the tip of his sword at her.
I'm going to stop here, wait for chapter 4 if you want to know how everything goes.
