Special Thanks: Deathrosekitty whose poem inspired
me to write this, Kannalover for reviewing my Kanna poem, making me
think I might actually be more like Kanna therefore able to write her
easier, and Adam, Ray's little brother who broke me.
Summary:
It's Christmas time in feudal Japan. Kanna only has one wish – a
mother. Shippo's mother. She never expected to get a whole family,
and her first real family back.
"I Want a Mom"
Kanna sat in her little dark corner of the castle, staring into her mirror. Inside was a lovely ebony-haired teenage-girl with calming, beautiful brown eyes and an infectious smile. She was asleep on the arms a muscular, silver-haired, inu-hanyou and in her own arms was a small, kitsune-tike about her 'age' with auburn hair in a messy pony-tail, a sweet smile and large fluffy cream-colored tail behind him. Kanna's black, soulful yet soulless eyes rolled sadly and grew heavy with tears. This is what she wanted. She really only wanted three small things in life – to be with Kagura forever, freedom, and a family who loved her. She knew it was silly of her, she wasn't a child, and she only appeared so. It wasn't like her to cling to such childish fantasies and beliefs – sure, it was fine for Rin-no-Hime to long and believe in such follies but not her, not Kanna of the Void. Not the little girl who stole souls with a mirror, not the girl who tried to steal the soul of the same young woman she wanted as her mother.
Not Kanna.
She didn't deserve Kagome's kindness, or anyone else's. She didn't deserve a family and she certainly never deserved Kagura.
But she did miss her for whatever that was worth.
