~~Lost Fool~~

It was unintentional.

Truthfully, this was an instance where she was lost.

Literally.

Kanna blankly stared at the dunes of sand, the massive number of Hollows feasting on each other, and the panther Hollow which lunged and twisted around, jaw snapping and gleaming teeth tearing off other Hollows' skin.

She had just been following the bat Vasto Lorde like she did for this unknown amount of time, then she wandered off and the next thing she knew there was a mini sandstorm and she lost sight of the bat Vasto Lorde. She tried to follow the pull, but in doing so it meant crossing over the hundreds of Hollows feasting on each other. She tried to sense his reiatsu, but it was so faint when she was surrounded by hundred reiatsu signatures more powerful than hers; besides, her senses were still slightly numbed after absorbing the reiatsu of a nasty Hollow who crossed their path, and obviously, the bat Vasto Lorde decapitated him swiftly with his black tail.

"AAAHHHHH! YOU DAMN CAT!"

"Heh. Biters winners, bitten losers, bitches!" The panther Hollow howled gleefully and jumped after another Hollow to take out a chunk of meat, eliciting another enraged and painful screech.

Letting out a breath reminiscent of a soundless sigh, Kanna closed her eyes and briskly walked away from the carnage of Hollows.

The bat Vasto Lorde was somewhere else by now, probably. He could be very far and reaching him would take nothing short of years. So why waste such time searching for a being she didn't even talk to for much? She will just return to her world of solitude amidst the monstrous black; in other words, the same as it was before.

Except that this time there wasn't another white being besides her.

Except that there won't be the crushing reiatsu engulfing her.

Except that there would be no reflection in golden eyes.

" . . . " Slowly, Kanna reached to a stop in her footsteps, and glanced back in the direction where she could sense the powerful and throbbing reiatsu of the bat Vasto Lorde, however muffled it was by other hundreds of Hollows; the direction was across the countless amount of Hollows and beyond.

Just like when her sister died with a smile and a breathless joy, Kanna was lost once again.

Her logical mind deduced it was worthless to even try to attempt to search for the bat Vasto Lorde; why should she, anyway? She was nothing but a mere Adjuchas, and if the bat Vasto Lorde wanted a complice there were surely stronger and durable Adjuchas out there; though she doubted the Vasto Lorde wanted any company period.

Still, there was a pull inside her, and the pull was getting stronger by the minute, and it was pulling Kanna towards the direction of the bat Vasto Lorde.

Her logical side hissed against the pull, and it snapped that there was no reason to even follow the Hollow.

But . . .

The bat Vasto Lorde could see her. Not Naraku's puppet, not trash, not a mirror; just like how Kagura could see Kanna and not another incarnation.

Furthermore, the void in which was boundless, in which she thrived and believed in, was no longer boundless; it intrigued her as much as it startled her, for the lack of a better word.

And so Kanna ignored her logical side, the side which maintained her alive in these years as a Hollow, and decided to follow the pull inside her.

The white Adjuchas knew her choice was foolish, but after being with the Vasto Lorde, Kanna felt lost when not following him.

Foolish. Her logical side hissed. Death. Broken. Shattered. Like the crystal heart you were robbed off. You will experience that pain again if you continue forward! Misfortune awaits if you follow the Vasto Lorde!

But she didn't care for her death or misfortune. She wasn't in the command of anyone, and the pull was getting insistent; and follow the pull she did. Strangely enough, it felt good to follow the pull, as if a weight was off her shoulders.

Kanna, with footsteps feeling lighter than possible, stepped into the multitude of Hollows to cross to the other side.
