Chapter 6. Trust
Kanna returned to the village and the inn where they were staying. Kagome and Miroku rushed to see if Inuyasha was okay as Sango went to Kanna.
"What happened to him?" Kagome asked Kanna. Kanna looked to Kagome with her expressionless face then spoke.
"I went out because I felt a strange presence nearby. Inuyasha followed me and ran into Kikyou. She attempted to pull him into hell, however, I was able to stop her by pulling out your soul." Kanna spoke slowly as she held up her mirror. Large white souls sprang forth and entered Kagome.
"You took my soul from Kikyou?" she asked as if she didn't beleive it. Kanna nodded as she turned back to Sango. Just as she did Inuyasha awoke. He looked up at Kagome, but all he saw was Kikyou. He pulled Kagome down into an embrace as he spoke.
"I'm so sorry Kikyou. I'll protect you forever, I never meant anything bad to happen to you. Forgive me, Kikyou." he said weakly. Kagome felt herself blow up with anger. She shoved Inuyasha down and away from her and sat him 5 times.
He looked up teary eyed, yet still her saw Kikyou. His spirit laid broken at the loss of his first love. He hoped now, that who he saw really was Kikyou.
"What did I do Kikyou?" he asked lightly as he tried to walk towards Kagome. Hot tears were streaming down Kagome's face as he spoke Kikyou and not Kagome.
"SIT, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, sit, and SIT!" she yelled at him everytime he tried to get back. She would have gone on forever, if not for Miroku grabbing her arm to get her attention. With no one else to turn to she broke down into tears and cried as she fell onto Miroku.
He helped her to sit as he tried to comfort her. He couldn't beleive how insensitive Inuyasha just was. How could he see Kikyou when Kagome was right in front of him. He sighed as he patted her back. Sango rushed over to Kagome. Kagome looked up at the concerned face of her dearest friend and fell onto Sango and cried into her shoulder.
Sango looked to Miroku for help but, he could not give her any. Kagome looked up blurry eyed at Inuyasha. He lay still on the floor with his face down. She, for some reason, didn't care if she had killed him. Her now slightly red eyes bled more tears as she looked to Kanna.
"Kanna, onegai. Can you please transport us to the forest so we may camp their? Onegai, just leave Inuyasha to his dreams of.... of..." she was cut short as she broke down and kept on crying.
"Of course Kagome." she said. She slid open the outside door and threw one of her feathers as it became larger, enough to carry them all. Shippo jumped onto Kanna's shoulder and Kirara on the other. Miroku picked up Kagome's bag as Kanna threw her other feather.
"I will take your belonging's on this one while you take that one. I shall lead the way and the feather shall follow." Kanna said in her usual voice. Kagome nodded while Miroku looked stunned.
"But Kagome, your shards will be with her?! Does that not making you worry in the least bit?!" he asked. Sango gave him a death glare and Kagome just shook her head to answer him. Mirokuk jumped onto the feather with ease and sat the end with his back to the two girls.
Once Kanna was on her feather, they took off towards the forest. However, they did not stop when they reached it. Miroku looked to Kanna suspicously as she kept her gaze ahead. Shippo and Kirara had fallen alseep as did Kagome and Sango.
"Kanna." he called to her. She turned her head to look at him. She slowed her feather so she was next to him.
"Hai." she said.
"If you wanted, could you pull something inside your mirror other than souls and attacks, like people?" he asked. Kanna nodded slowly. Miroku looked like he was sick as he glanced down at his cursed right hand.
"I could help you." she said lightly. Miroku looked up at her slightly confused. She didn't say anything as she reached out and grabbed his right hand. She pulled the beads off. Miroku was ready to take cover, but then something happened. Nothing happened. He looked at his hand.
The Kazaana was still there, just a little smaller and not pulling anything in. He was stunned, then it hit him. A wind and a void of nothingness. Since both Kanna and the Kazaana are so exactly the same thing, Kanna can make this curse vanish.
Kanna had wrapped the beads back around his hand and was looking at him. Miroku bowed his head to her in thanks.
"I made it better. It can pull in more than ever, yet it won't grow. Now, you can also pull in Naraku's insects and not be poisoned." she said lightly before flying her feather ahead of the other. Miroku looked at his hand with caution and then he smiled at Kanna.
It took only a few more moments before they landed close to a few hotsprings. Once they landed Kagome and Sango awoke. They both looked as Miroku was sitting next to Kanna and talking to her like he would anyone of them. Sango leaned over to Kagome.
"Something must have happened while we were asleep." Sango said in a whisper. "It looks like Miroku now trusts her."
"Kanna, tell me. We all seek revenge from Naraku, but what will that mean for you? Won't Naraku call you traitor?" he asked slightly worried for his new friend. Kanna looked up towards the moonlit sky.
"Yes, he will most likely want me dead, however, he now has no hold over me. It does not matter that I betrayed him. For now, I am free." Kanna said lightly. As Miroku looked at her through the corner of his eyes, he saw the moonlight reflecting off one lone tear.
Sango smiled as she saw how Miroku was now treating Kanna. He had his arm wrapped around her and held her closely. Sango looked to Kagome. Kagome watched them with a kindness in her eyes.
'Shippo, Kirara, Miroku, and Sango all trust Kanna now. We don't need that stupid dog, we are fine the way we are.' Kagome thought as she pushed Inuyasha out of her mind. She looked to Sango and smiled sweetly as she stood up and walked over to Kanna and Miroku. Sango followed her and they both sat down. Kagome next to Miroku and Sango next to Kanna.
Then something struck Kagome.
'Sango acts like a big sister to Kanna. Maybe Sango feels pity to her and wants to help by trying to replace Kagura?' Kagome thought. As for Miroku, he just kept looking at his cursed hand.
'I'll admit they are acting strangely.' Kagome thought.
Kanna returned to the village and the inn where they were staying. Kagome and Miroku rushed to see if Inuyasha was okay as Sango went to Kanna.
