Authors Beginning Note: Sorry it's taken me so long to update. I was busy I was at a temporary writers block. I started to write this chapter several times, but parts kept conflicting with what I want to happen later, and it wouldn't make sense otherwise. So without further ado.here is my next chapter! ****
Chapter 21
Kanna's bold words
****
"Have ye brought the rest of what is needed?" Keade said, fearing the worst, when she heard Inuyasha step in the hut. Inuyasha strode right up to her, and held the slightly damp purple rags.
"What be this?"
"It's the Moon Sun, whatever flowers that is needed. I think Miroku picked extra too." Inuyasha said looking bored and not the least concerned, though his true emotions swam in his liquid gold eyes. Keade carefully unfolded the cloth and let out a sigh of relief.
"There are plenty to spare. I just hope that ." She was interrupted by a harsh coughing sound and looked over at Sango, her face paled as she rushed to her. Inuyasha's nose twitched at the sharp odor of blood. Sango was coughing up blood. Not a good sign. Kirara was mewing in distress, like a kitten that has just been taken to its new home, and cries at night for it's mother, sisters, and brothers.
"How long before we can give her the medicine?"
"Time is against us. She strikes harshly in the direst time. Sango is rapidly dieing, faster than earlier. I had thought there would be plenty of time, but now she only has but maybe an hour." Silence.
"What aren't you saying?" Inuyasha growled from deep within his chest.
"The healing potion I mixed won't be ready till at least the breaking of dawn." Keade said. As old as she was and looked, saying that somehow made her age even more. To her, it was almost like a daughter dieing. Sango, the Taijiya, was close to Keade, maybe not as close as Kagome, but still much like family. Somehow all six of them had made a place in the old crone's heart, and were like family. It was lonely, and quiet without them.
"So you're saying, that everything we did, was all for nothing! That she's going to die anyways!" Inuyasha roared.
"Inuyasha, be at peace. Yelling will not help anybody in the least. I cannot do anything more. Unless the poison in her body slows, she will surely, and swiftly die. The flowers have all to be completely melted in the medicine in order for it to work. That can take as many as five hours." Keade said with emptiness. She got up and went to the new flowers brought to her and went ahead on plucking the delicate petals, her hands shaking.
"Damn it!" Yelled Inuyasha, producing a large hole in the floor next to his sitting form. He leaned his head back, counting the minutes till Miroku and Shippo walked in. Till they learned that Sango would die. The seconds before he would have to see the look of horror, grief, and shock in Miroku's face. Till he heard him scream the name of the one he truly loved and let it echo across valleys and mountains, haunting people's thoughts and dreams at that mournful sound. Inuyasha opened his eyes and turned his head to Kagome.
Kagome.what will you do.you two are like sisters.damn.after all of this.killed.because of a stupid poison.just because those stupid flowers won't melt.
Than an Idea struck the Hanyou. He looked at the small blaze of fire and the pot that swung over it.
"I'm not giving up that easily." He muttered before standing.
"Inuyasha, where do ye think you are going in this storm?" said Keade.
"Feh." He said irritated as he walked out into the harsh storm.

"That idiot!" raged Naraku, showing more emotion than he would have liked, but quickly composed himself. He stared at the round mirror held for him to gaze into.
"No matter. I will have to make some minor.modifications. That Sesshoumaru has proven to be a nuisance. I will have to have him killed." Naraku said to himself, ignoring the girl who stood a mere three feet from him. Her white shoulder length hair, with two flowers holding back any hair threatening to hide her face. Her small ten-year-old looking hands holding a round white mirror in front of her, close to her body, almost looking like part of her body while it was pressed against her white Kimono. Her eyes held no emotion. It was eerie. Ten-year-old girls should be full of life, happy, joyous, and no worries in the world to be bothered by, but not this girl. She was different, this detachment of Naraku's. Kanna showed no emotion, nor did she voice it. Many have wondered if she even feels. Naraku trusts her the more than he had with any other of his detachments, not that that was saying much.
"My lord. You have no warriors who can defeat Sesshoumaru, unless you plan on going and defeating him yourself. Not even your puppets will work. This idea is doomed to failure." She said again with no emotion Naraku's eyes blazed as he finally took notice yet once again of the one who stood before him.
"You dare to speak of me of what will and will not work? Do you think me an imbecile? You over estimate that worthless demon's powers Kanna. In your boldness, you speak of nothing." Naraku glared. He was not used to Kanna speaking, let alone in such a manner to him.
"Tell me Kanna, do you not know the Taiyoukai's one weakness?" Naraku stared at Kanna. She didn't even flinch.
"I will tell you. It is that human filth he lets tarry after him. Once I have her, I have him." He said, a new calm coming over him at the thought of what Sesshoumaru would do once Naraku had Rin in his tight grasp.
"You will not be able to fool him so easily. You will not be given the chance to capture the girl." Kanna said with more boldness. Naraku began to seep with anger.
"Enough!" he yelled and struck the girl in front of him. Kanna landed hard on her back, a large red welt began to form on her smooth cold pale skin. She sat up and looked at him. Naraku also stood up, turning his back on her.
"I will not allow impertinence. Consider this your warning." He said before walking out. What he did not see was for a second; anger shone in Kanna's cold dark eyes, but was quickly replaced by her mask of emotionless ness. That was one of his more deadly mistakes. Kanna stood in the room alone, letting darkness cover her, before walking out.
None saw the little girl walking away from the castle, or even as she began to disappear into the dark forest. No demon smelled her scent becoming fainter with each 'clap' her wooden sandal made on the hard ground.

Authors Ending Note: Oooo! The plot thickens! So what is Inuyasha up to? Will it save Sango's life? Does Sango even have a chance? And what about this new twist that has been developed? What will Kanna do now that she has sprung herself loose from Naraku, at least for the time being?
