Chapter 2
A/N: Here we go, Inuyasha sets off! Good luck Inuyasha!
Inuyasha paused at the opening of the woods turning as he saw Kagome looking at him through worried eyes.
"You don't plan to go alone do you?" Kagome whispered Inuyasha turned around slowly, his eyes softening.
"I have no choice, it's my fault." Inuyasha spoke looking off to the side before turning around back towards the opening of the woods.
"No…it's not, maybe we just underestimated Naraku." Kagome said reassuringly. "Still you shouldn't go alone, I mean it could be dangerous…" Inuyasha turned around angrily, as he looked at Kagome glaring daggers.
"I have to protect my daughter Kagome, Why can't you understand that?" Inuyasha snapped sprinting off into the forest, a gust of wind from where he once stood.
"Inuyasha…" Kagome whispered looking at the bow in her hands, and back up again. "Be careful."
Kagome turned slowly as she walked off towards the others, pausing slightly a smile painted across her lips. Kagome was happy, happy that Inuyasha had finally found happiness after all the years of trouble and pain. She wondered what would have happened if she had lived here, in this time, and they were together, but it didn't matter anymore. They had shared their good times, they had fun, they were there for each other but the facts were there.
Inuyasha loved Kikyou, and he loved Kiseki more then anyone in the world.
'And when Inuyasha came back, they would start over.' Kagome decided. 'We'll be friends, just like we are to Sango and Miroku, We'll be friends, just friends.'
"Let me go…" Kiseki whispered angrily, obviously having her daddy's temper.
Kanna stared forward as the bubble continued to float towards an opening of a cave, her mirror back to the empty black, Naraku being gone from view at the moment, locked inside the world of Kanna's…
"My dad will kill you." Kiseki said innocently, not threatening but being honest towards the girl.
"He'll be a murderer." Kanna whispered her eyes not even bothering to face the girl, Kiseki's eyes growing angry.
"Chicue's not a murderer, what do you think you're doing then? Aren't you going to kill me?" Kiseki shouted obviously angry with Kanna's attitude.
"No…" Kanna spoke slowly turning her head towards her, Kiseki's eyes softening almost afraid.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Something much worse…" Kanna's voice trailed off a strange light coming out of the mirror as the barrier disappeared and they landed at the foot of the cave.
Kikyou sat drumming her finger over her stomach, "I can't just sit here" standing up, grabbing her bow as Sango grabbed her shoulder. "She'll be okay." Sango said hopefully, "Inuyasha will bring her back, just wait, you'll see!" Mikomi said running over to Kikyou's feet, Kikyou peering down over her pregnant stomach.
"You can't go Kikyou." Sango whispered as Kikyou looked at her a sadness that would make the moon cry and the sun go dark, a sadness that was almost unforgivable. "What would you do Sango, if it was Mikomi or Kei?" Kikyou whispered, Sango moving her hand off Kikyou's shoulder sadly. "I don't know…."
Inuyasha's feet padded through the woods, this was hard, Kanna had no scent, and Kiseki's scent was no where to be found. He headed in the direction they had traveled off in, an urgency in his golden eyes as his mind began to drift off to the day, Kiseki was two years old…
Flashback+
"Chicue" Kiseki said sitting in Inuyasha's lap, Inuyasha smiled as he looked at Kiseki.
"Will mommy die before we do?" her voice was soft as she looked up at Inuyasha a smile disappearing from his lips.
"You can never tell Kiseki…it's true me and you have a longer life-span…" Inuyasha found himself hurt by his own words, hating the thought of losing Kiseki or his daughter. "If a demon attacked I could die before mommy, so see, its fate." Inuyasha said as he watched her eyes widen in fear.
"You can never leave me!" Kiseki cried wrapping her arms around her father's waste, crying softly into his kimono. "I'd die for you" she whispered softly.
Inuyasha's hand ran through her hair gently trying to calm his daughter's fears. "No one's dying; I won't let anything happen to me or mommy." Inuyasha said tilting his daughters head up to look into his eyes.
"Especially you, Kiseki, I won't let anyone hurt you." Inuyasha said kissing his daughter on the cheek
End Flashback+
"I intend to keep my word Kiseki; I won't let anyone hurt you!" Inuyasha growled picking up his pace as he soared through the woods.
Kanna walked into the darkness, Kiseki keeping close as she caught a glimpse of a shiny blue rock. Kanna nudged Kiseki forward, Naraku's face in her mirror as Kiseki turned around to face Kanna. "He…wants you to get it…" Kanna spoke softly as Kiseki took a step forward.
The rock was rested on an almost slate table, its glow almost lighting the whole cavern. Kiseki stared at it, 'If I give this to them, won't I be helping them?' Kiseki thought picking the rock up almost gingerly, her clawed hands digging into in slightly, handing the rock to Kanna, Kanna taking the rock and handing her the mirror.
"Put the mirror on the table." Kanna said as she held the rock with both hands Kiseki doing as she said, before Kanna handed her the rock.
"Give it to him." Kanna said as Kiseki stepped forward looking into the mirror.
"The first gem, an easy target." Naraku said looking at Kiseki, his reflection smiling at her.
"What's your target?" Kiseki whispered coldly as Naraku gave off a short laugh.
"Clueless like your father."
"Chicue's not clueless; at least he's not trapped in a mirror." Kiseki said evenly.
Naraku scowled "We have 5 items to attend too, to switch are places"
Kiseki looked at him, "Why don't you have the white bitch kill me?" Kiseki cursed, Naraku laughing.
"You are a spitting image of your father." Naraku said hissing slightly, "you know why? Because in here, you'll wish you were dead." Naraku said Kiseki setting the rock on the mirror timidly out of pure fear, every bone telling her to run, but fear held her in place as the mirror suck in the stone, Kanna grabbing it slowly.
"Let's…go"
'Kanna's mirror…A terrifying place…' Naraku thought as he looked around him, When he had been killed by the Inuyasha gang, he lived on in the inside his only offspring Kanna. He couldn't posses her body for the fact she had released herself from his control but her mirror was still his weapon…
Naraku had spent a good five years til this day, looking for the way to reach Kanna at the front of the mirror. Kanna's mirror was filled with emptiness and sadness, souls…souls suffering in the darkness, in the loneliness, in the nothing. Screams and tears the only thing being heard, inner monsters of Kanna' s striking at you, eating the life from the undead soul, and you couldn't see when…or why…
Even for Naraku…It was almost impossible to find, he had found his way to Kanna by pure accident merely stumbling along over the blood stormed monsters, and the blood covered corpses and the hollering of the terrified souls to be left there for all eternity. He held up barley since he had some demon in him but a human girl of Kiseki's age would surely die within minutes.
'Run Inuyasha' Naraku said looking to a portal of Inuyasha running angrily at full speed towards where they were. "Go Inuyasha, Find us, and watch your daughter suffer, as her soul and body is exchanged to save your mortal enemy." Naraku said laughing as Kanna, Kiseki and himself floated away towards there next destination…
