"Where is Kana?" Inuyasha asked trying to sit up, but he fell backwards. 'My stomach?'
"Kanashimi you mean? She is back at the shrine of course." Kikyo said.
"Where am I?" Inuyasha asked.
"You are at the village closest to the shrine." Kikyo said.
'It must have been a dream. I thought that all of that was really happening. I can still remember when we were kids.' Inuyasha thought to himself. "Wait! Kikyo some old man told me Kana kidnapped you too." Inuyasha said.
"Kana didn't kidnap me but she did trick me and then throw me in a cell for a sort time. Then for some reason she let me out." Kikyo said. "Now Inuyasha you must rest. You have a very serious wound."
"What happened to Kagome?" Inuyasha asked.
"Her and Koga went back to where your other friends are." Kikyo said.
"I see." Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha, Kanashimi was child hood friend of yours right?" Kikyo asked.
"Is that what Kana told you." Kikyo asked.
"No all she said is that you two were once together and that you once offered her everything you had to give." Kikyo said.
"Then what made you think that Kana and I were child hood friends?" Inuyasha asked.
"You call her Kana. I contacted the dots that is all." Kikyo said.
"I knew Kana pretty much my whole life." Inuyasha said.
"I see. And do you still love her?" Kikyo asked.
"Well." Inuyasha looked at Kikyo and then away.
"Do you love Kagome, Kanashimi and me? Is it truly possible to love that many?" Kikyo asked.
"Kagome clearly want's to be with Koga. I don't have any initiation of being with her." Inuyasha said.
"Ok then. But what about Kanashimi and I?" Kikyo asked.
"I…you gave your life for me…but Kanashimi also…" Inuyasha couldn't finishes his what he was saying. 'I don't want her to know. I didn't want anyone to know what happened to Kana.' Inuyasha thought to himself.
"If you do not wish to tell me now I will not make you. Please Inuyasha rest." Kikyo said walking to the door of the hut that they were in.
"Kikyo wait!" Inuyasha cried.
"Yes Inuyasha?" Kikyo said turning around.
"Why are you helping me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Because your life is mine and mine is yours." Kikyo said and then left.
"Kikyo…" Inuyasha said.
"I brought Shippo, Yami, and Iru-jon my master." Rain said. Shippo was standing next to the two other demons. Iru-jon was the old man that brought Inuyasha to the shrine on the boat. He was an old man with little hair and then little hair he had was white. He had to use a cane to walk. Yami was wearing a black coat and wear a hood over his head so you could not see his face.
"You asked for us my lady." Both Yami and Iru-jon said.
"Yes come over here." Kanashimi said. Kanashimi was sitting on the same large chair that she was in before. She had one leg over the other and one elbow on the side of the chair and her head leaning on her hand, her other arm was on her lap.
"Yes my lady." Iru-jon said. Both Iru-jon and Yami went to her. Yami stood on behind her to her left and then Iru-jon stood behind her and to her right. They both looked forward.
"What did you want Shippo for my master?" Rain asked. Shippo was standing next to Rain and was shacking in fear.
"Shippo what is Inuyasha's relationship with that wench in the sort kimono?" Kanashimi asked.
"Huh? You mean Kagome?" Shippo asked.
"Kagome is that what her name is?" Kanashimi wasn't really asking a question. 'Even the girls name pisses me off!' Kanashimi thought to herself.
"Well Inuyasha and Kagome are in love. Even though Inuyasha is a jerk." Shippo said. When Kanashimi heard Shippo say they were in love her eyes glow red for a moment.
'Oh no! Did I say something to make her made?!' Shippo thought to himself hiding behind Rain now. Rain was not scared but did have a puzzled look on her face.
"Is something the matter my master?" Rain asked.
"What is Inuyasha's relationship with Kikyo?" Kanashimi asked.
"We…well…Inuyasha is in love with…her…still…" Shippo stuttered.
"I see." Kanashimi was clutching her hands tightly, so tightly that her long nails dug deep in her skin and she began to bleed.
"My lady!" Iru-jon and Yami shouted and at the same time Rain shouted "My master!"
"It is nothing." Kanashimi said licking the blood that was on the hand that was once laid on her lap.
'She scares me!' Shippo thought to himself grabbing Rain's pants tight. Rain was wearing pants like Inuyasha but hers were light blue and she had a white top that was like a tank top but it showed her stomach.
"What is wrong my little Shippo?" Rain asked looking down at him.
"N…noth…nothing." Shippo said.
"Do you fear me little one?" Kanashimi asked. Shippo didn't answer. "There is nothing to fear. You are a demon and better yet you are Rain's niece. I will not hurt you."
"My master I do not wish to correct you but he is my nephew." Rain said.
"But isn't nephew for when they are boys?" Kanashimi asked. Shippo's face was now red.
"I am a boy!!" Shippo yelled.
"Shippo! Forgive him my master." Rain begged.
"Hahaahahaha." Kanashimi laughed. "That is right I forgot you are a boy. Please forgive me Shippo. I will not make that mistake again." Kanashimi said smiling.
"My master Shippo should be the one apologizing to you." Rain said stunned. 'All the years that I have worked for master Kanashimi I have never seen her smile once.'
"Ok?" Shippo also looked stunned. 'Maybe she isn't so scary after all.'
"Shippo why does Inuyasha seek the Shikon jewel shards?" Kanashimi asked.
"That one is easy. Inuyasha wants to become a full demon." Shippo said, no longer hiding behind Rain.
"That is what I thought." Kanashimi went back to her cold expiration once she heard this. 'I will not allow this. Even if it means that I have to get all the jewel.' Kanashimi thought. Looking at the bottle that Kagome once had full of the jewel shards that Inuyasha had collected in it.
"Those are Kagome's jewel shards!" Shippo shouted.
"Really? The way I hear it they belong to Inuyasha is he not the one that does all the fighting for them?" Kanashimi asked.
"Well Inuyasha does do must of the fighting." Shippo said.
"Then they rightfully belong to Inuyasha." Kanashimi said.
"Then why do you have them?!" Shippo asked.
"They now belong to me. I took them from that little bitch." Kanashimi said with anger when she said little bitch. Kanashimi clearly did not like Kagome.
"What?! Did you hurt Kagome!?" Shippo asked.
"Would it matter if I said I did?" Kanashimi asked.
"You can't hurt her she is my friend!" Shippo shouted.
"Shippo do not argue with master Kanashimi!" Rain shouted.
"It is alright Rain." Kanashimi said. "None of my demons or myself laid a finger on the girl. Two of my guards did have fun with her though."
"What do you mean have fun?" Shippo asked.
"They didn't lay a finger on the little bitch. 'Though I bet she would like it if they did.' They just talked about rude things in front of her. Like how they will kill her or Inuyasha." Kanashimi said/thought. (When the '…' came in she was thinking to herself.)
"Shippo my goal is to kill everyone important to Inuyasha right in front of him and make him suffer. That means the demon slayer, the monk, Kikyo and most of all that wench." Kanashimi said.
"What why!?" Shippo shouted.
"Inuyasha wronged me. He made me suffer and to this day I till suffer from what he did." Kanashimi said.
"No! I will not let you hurt my friends!" Shippo shouted.
"You call them your friends. They kill demons, they kill your kind." Kanashimi said.
"The demons always start it or hurt someone." Shippo said.
"No. Maybe by your eyes the demons start it every time but most of the time humans start it. Humans are killing the forest that we live in and killing any demon that they see. The humans are slowly killing off our race. Soon there will be no more demons do you want that? Think how few true demons still exist." Kanashimi said.
"There are a lot of demons!" Shippo yelled.
"There are few true demons." Kanashimi said.
"What do you mean true?" Shippo asked.
"You me and every one else in this room are true demons. There are demons that no longer have the ability to speak or the ability to think on their own. The demon race is quickly becoming mindless killing machines. If we do not stop this the true demons will be wiped from the face of this world for go." Kanashimi said sitting up straight. "You do not wish to see that do you?" Kanashimi asked.
"No." Shippo said looking down at the ground. "Kagome says that there are no demons in her time."
"What do you mean her time?" Kanashimi asked. Shippo then told her the whole story. "That is a little hard to chew." Kanashimi said leaning back in her seat.
"My lady I can use this information to my advantage." Iru-jon said.
"That is good." Kanashimi said looking at the ceiling.
"No I still don't want you to hurt my friends!" Shippo cried.
"This is an outrage!" Kanashimi shouted standing up and now she looked way beyond pissed off.
"My master I am so very sorry about Shippo!" Rain said bowing down on her knees to Kanashimi.
"That is not what I mean! There will be no more demons in the future but the damn humans will live! Is that what you are telling me little one!" Kanashimi shouted.
"Ye…Yes." Shippo answered.
"I will not allow this!" Kanashimi shouted.
"I'm with you one hundred percent!" Rain agreed.
"Shippo you are a demon! How is this that all of this doesn't anger you!?" Kanashimi asked.
"Well I never thought of it really." Shippo said.
"It is because of holy man and demon slayers that this is happening! Why are you defending a monk and demon slayer?!" Kanashimi asked.
"They are my friends." Shippo said looking at the ground.
"Kirara! Musha!" Kanashimi yelled.
"Kirara?" Shippo asked. Kirara in her large form and Musha came in to the room. Musha landed on Kanashimi's shoulder and Kirara sat down in front of her.
"Bring me Inuyasha and his friends now!" Kanashimi ordered. Kanashimi was still yelling and clearly still angry. "Iru-jon, Yami, Rain, Shippo get in your position!"
"What me?" Shippo asked.
"You're with me Shippo." Rain said picking up Shippo and running out of the room. Iru-jon then left and Yami disappeared in the dark coiner of the room. 'All this time I have never seen my master this angry. I will not fail her!' Rain thought to herself.
"Koga how are you feeling?" Kagome asked.
"Much better thanks to your help." Koga said.
"What about you Sango?" Kagome asked.
"I'm fine now." Sango replied.
"It has been a while sense we went to the shrine." Kagome said sadly. No one replied. "I wonder if Inuyasha is ok?" Kagome said.
"I'm sure he is fine. I mean after all he is Inuyasha." Miroku said.
"Miroku's right, I know Inuyasha is fine." Sango said getting up. "It is Kirara and Shippo that we should be most worried about."
"That is a nice thing to say." Inuyasha said walking throw the door.
"Inuyasha? I knew you were all right. That is why is said that we should worry about Kirara and Shippo." Sango said.
"Whatever." Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha your okay! I'm so glad!" Kagome shouted.
"hmmmm." Inuyasha said looking at Kagome coldly and then at Koga.
"Where have you been?! We were worried about you!" Kagome asked.
"That is none of your business." Inuyasha said. 'She would get really pissed and the wrong idea if I told her I was with Kikyo the whole time.' Inuyasha thought to himself and then sat down next to Miroku.
"What!? You made us worry and now your not going to tell us?!" Kagome shouted.
"That's right." Inuyasha said.
'This can only make things worse between Inuyasha and Kagome.' Miroku thought to himself. "Inuyasha what is the conation between you and Kanashimi?" Miroku asked.
"That is none of your business either!" Inuyasha shouted. 'I'm not going to tell them anything about Kana.'
"Ok, ok calm down." Miroku said.
"Inuyasha don't you think we have a right to know?" Kagome said.
"No! None of you have the right to pry in to my past! Exceptionally you!" Inuyasha shouted getting up.
"What is that suppose to mean?!" Kagome shouted.
"What the hell do you think it mean! Dumb-ass!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Hey don't talk to Kagome like that!" Koga shouted.
"Shut the hell up dip shit!" Inuyasha shouted.
"You bastard!" Koga yelled back.
"Everyone! Please can we focus for just one second!?" Miroku shouted over everyone.
"What?!" Koga and Inuyasha yelled at Miroku.
"Inuyasha did you see either Shippo or Kirara at the shrine?" Miroku asked.
"NO!" Inuyasha shouted and then left.
"What is his problem?" Kagome asked.
"Maybe it has something to do with this kiss you and Koga shared? And the fact that you are spending a lot of time with Koga and you always seem to take Koga's side." Sango said.
"What I do not. Anyway how did you know about Koga and me…" Kagome asked.
"Miroku told me." Sango said.
"And Inuyasha shouted about that last time we saw him." Miroku said.
"Kagome what is going on here? It isn't like you to cheat." Sango said.
"She isn't cheating if she was never with him in the first place." Koga said.
"Well…." Kagome said.
"Lord Inuyasha, lord Inuyasha!" Myoga shouted jumping in under the bamboo door. (The huts back then had bamboo doors if you've seen any Inuyasha episodes you would know what I'm taking about.)
"You just missed him Myoga." Sango said.
"Oh no!" Myoga said.
"What is it Myoga?" Kagome asked.
"It is about lady Kana I need to speak with him!" Myoga said jumping up on Miroku's shoulder. 'I've been needing to speak with him for a long time now!' Myoga thought to himself.
"Lady Kana? Do you mean Kanashimi?" Kagome asked.
"Yes Kanashimi is lady Kana's full name. She allows only those she trust and cares about to call her Kana." Myoga said.
"So she trusts and cares about you Myoga?" Miroku said.
"Well she doesn't trust me or care for me. But she once did and I suppose I just have a bad habit calling her Kana and everything." Myoga sighed.
"Did she trust and care about Inuyasha too?" Kagome asked.
"Of course lady Kana and lord Inuyasha were once…" Myoga stopped himself.
"Inuyasha and Kana use to be what?" Kagome asked.
"That is none of your business." Myoga said. "Were can I find lord Inuyasha?" Myoga asked.
"He just left." Sango said.
"We don't know where he went." Miroku said.
"I see." Myoga said.
"You can tell us and we can tell him next time we see him." Kagome said.
"No. This is a private matter that does not concern any of you." Myoga said with a very serous and almost sad tone of voice.
"Yes it does! Kanashimi kidnapped me because of Inuyasha and her past." Kagome protested.
"Oh?" Myoga said. "I still think no know that lord Inuyasha would be very angry with me if I told you anything." Myoga said. Kagome was just about to shout something but from outside they heard Kirara roar.
"Kirara!" Sango shouted with joy.
"Sango wait! It has to be a trap remember Kanashimi took Kirara." Miroku said grabbing Sango's arm and holding her back.
"I don't care!" Sango shouted braking free from Miroku's grip. Sango then ran out the door and saw Kirara sitting outside. "Kirara!"
"Kirara! Your ok!" Kagome cried coming out of the hut followed by Miroku and Koga, with Myoga on Miroku's shoulder.
"Kirara? Do you remember me?" Sango asked walking towards her. Kirara then ran in the direction of the shrine and then stopped before reaching the forest that separated the hut from the lake. Kirara looked at Sango and then at the forest and then back at Sango and then ran into the forest.
"It looks like Kirara is going in the direction of the shrine." Miroku said.
"She wants us to follow her!" Sango shouted running in the same direction.
"Sango it is a trap!" Miroku called running after her.
"We might as well go. They'll must likely need our help." Kagome said.
"Your right." Koga said. "Let's go." Koga grabbed Kagome (like a broom does to his bride during a wedding) and then ran in the same direction.
