CHAPTER FORTY TWO

?

"So Kanna..." I said, running my eyes over her. She remained gazing into that mirror, white hair slightly grey in the dark room. "You say this new enemy is a female, do you?"

"...Yes."

"May I see her?" I tried to get a peek over the white backing of the mirror, but saw nothing.

"I cannot get a reflection of her. Her being is too sacred..."

"Too sacred?"

"...Yes."

"So, what? Is she a priestess or some celestial being? She's bound to be interesting..."

I tucked some of my long hair behind my ear, crossing my legs tightly. The silk of my hakama pressed against my skin, heating. I stared at the girl of nothingness, waiting for an answer. There was a prolonged period of silence before she simply bobbed her head.

"I see..."

She said nothing.

"So is Kagura going to fill the mission?"

Again, a small nod.

But I knew one thing. I wanted to see this maiden for myself. See what she had to offer. Naraku couldn't hold me here when I had a deed to fulfill.

Celestial maiden or demon priestess... Regardless, she was bound to be entertaining.
