"So Kanna." Kagura began quickly. Kanna was surprised to be able to open her mouth this time, but no sounds came out. This did not deter Kagura who continued, "I think we should go to that village because the faster the jewel shard shows up, the faster we can go home."

Kanna didn't point out the fact that Kagura would begin to complain as soon as they got home anyway, and just nodded.

So the two started off. When they got to the village, though, they saw pandemonium.

"Kanna, stay here. I'm going to go find out what's happening. Stay here." She walked away, leaving Kanna to stand there by herself.

"You enjoy my handiwork?" Kanna blinked with surprise. Out of the blue, Hakudoshi was leaning on his sword beside her, gesturing to the village. "I thought I'd lend you two a hand in drawing out the jewel shard."

If she could have, Kanna would have totally raised an eyebrow, except she couldn't, so she contented herself with pretending that Hakudoshi wasn't there.

"- and don't worry, I riled up my village, and there was no sign of a jewel shard so I came here to try to help you." Kanna realized that Hakudoshi was in fact a few inches taller than she, so that she would just reach his nose. But the above mentioned was staring down at her with an unreadable expression on his face.

She would think she had something on her face, since he was staring at her mouth, but she had checked just before she left the cave. Because of their height difference though, she noticed how close he was standing to her. And if she just stepped forward just a bit, put her arms around him and tilted her head back just right, then-

"What the bloody hell are you doing here?" Kagura glared angrily. "I presume you're responsible for the 'vile flaming demon dog' that attacked the village WE were supposed to be watching? Your village is three miles north of here! Tell him Kanna!" Kanna turned and looked at Hakudoshi, but he was grinning slyly at her, which was having the most interesting affect.

She felt like she was getting horribly warm, especially in her face.

"Oh my god!" Hakudoshi grabbed Kagura and dragged her over. "She's blushing!"

It was true. Kanna held up her mirror, which didn't really help, since it showed souls rather than actual reflections.

"Hakudoshi, I think you broke her." Kanna reached up two fingers and poked her over-heated face slowly.

"I didn't even know that you could blush!' Hakudoshi then smiled and slapped Kagura on the back. "All right Kagura! I'll see you soon! I'll come see you again! Watch out for that jewel shard!" He literally leapt up on his flying demon (Kanna couldn't remember what the heck its name was), and was far into the sky.

"Hakudoshi! Don't just leave! You have to-" Kagura continued ranting away at the disappearing speck, while Kanna watched it go.

"Hakudoshi." Kanna murmured, though she didn't mean to say it, and no one heard it anyway, but it would very soon become something she would see very, very often.
