"Where do you think you're going, Annabelle Rose?" the White Baboon appeared in front of her with a spherical object in his hand, similar to that one he gave her once.
"I won't stay here waiting any longer! Did you see that?!" She pointed one finger to the sky still darkened for a giant malignant energy.
"Did you forget what your young master said another day? Here is your place."
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to disobey him." She pulled the reins of the horse, preparing to jump over Naraku if it was necessary.
"You two had a great night, right?" his inquiry made Annabelle freeze.
"How do you know about that?!" then the saimiosho's nest in his hand elucidated her "Were you watching us?! How can you be so filthy?" she almost screamed, her indignation making her blood boil within her veins.
"Ku, ku, ku, ku. How stupid you are, woman..." he mocked "Do you really believe that, after yesterday, Kagewaki Hitomi will still want anything from you?"
"Don't talk about things you don't know!"
"You already gave him what he wanted, there's no reason for the young master see you again and he sent me himself to tell this so." a tenuous smirk showed up under that baboon's mask.
"It's a lie." Annabelle claimed confidently.
"Did you really think he would marry you, a foreigner woman with no name, no lands? You have nothing to offer him".
"Naraku, get out of my way" she said in a warning tone.
"He seemed to be quite interested in a certain demon slayer that is under his care though. What was her name? Oh, yes! Sango." He continued to tease her.
"If you don't get out, I'll make my horse go over you!" Feeling anger burning inside her, Annabelle warned as she made the animal jog.
He stayed. So, Annabelle fulfilled the threat and made the horse run careless about what or who was ahead. Naraku jumped agilely on a branch of the nearest tree.
She is more self confident than I thought. The Baboon concluded. Some saimioshos got out of the nest and, by Naraku's command, they followed the foreigner girl. Then, Hitomi's counselor vanished as he was made of smoke. In his place, a wooden object appeared over the grass. A single strand of dark hair was around it.

Annabelle rode her horse into the depths of a forest, rising and going down some gaps, crossing small streams, taking a break just to feed and hydrate her road fellow, then their journey proceeded. As soon as she passed by the first village, Anna noticed she wasn't wearing her cloak and gave into despair for seconds. Oh, but she didn't have time to waste with that!
Damn it all, let them see me! She thought, tired of hiding her features to protect herself of people's ignorance.
And she was chased down by men, women, elders and children with torches in their hands. She tried to ignore them while the persecution persisted. The lass didn't look behind because she had the nature in her favor. At last, her gift served her well and suddenly, the branches entwined and closed the path behind, the forest turned into a labyrinth to Annabelle's delight, and she went out of sight.
Why can't I find that fucking castle?! She lost her temper as time was passing by, days turning into nights, and her chest getting tighter and tighter.
"Keh! There you are making me waste my time helping human people!" the silver haired half breed grumbled, his dog's ears shaking.
"Inuyasha, we need the money if we want to survive. Unfortunately, it seems that our search for Naraku's whereabouts will be longer than we thought" his monk friend said and hit his head with a golden stick.
"Damn it, Miroku!" Inuyasha snarled as his fellow laughed amazed.
"They say a certain yokai passed through another villages and now she's approaching this one." The demon slayer commented. "People are terrified."
"They also say she is gorgeous!" The monk sighed.
"Miroku, you'll never change!" a little fox yokai spoke, he was being carried by a teenager girl with school clothes.
Miroku gawky laughed while Sango looked at him disapprovingly, her arms crossed beneath her chest.
"How weird..." Kagome showed herself thoughtful "We didn't hear about she hurting someone. What if she's like Inuyasha?"
"Like me? What do you mean, Kagome?!" Grumpy, Inuyasha narrowed his golden eyes.
"I mean, maybe she is a good yokai." she answered.
"Are you saying that I'm a nice stupid guy?!" He puffed out his chest with wounded pride.
"Here she comes!" An old man announced and pointed his finger to a caramel horse entering the vilage slowly, tired. Upon the animal, there was a dejected and expressionless woman.
Inuyasha, impulsive, drew his Tetsusaiga and prepared himself to a fight. However, his braveness last a few seconds before he realize that the lass had no youki, besides, her weary body slid from the horse's back and fell like a sheet of paper on the floor, fainted.
"She's human and isn't well at all" Inuyasha sheathed his sword and looked at his friends.
Kagome ran to the ginger lass and touched her shoulders making her almost wake.
"Hey, what happened to you?"
The foreigner woman rolled her dewy eyes as a response. Miroku went to Kagome's side, took Annabelle in his arms and led her to the hovel where he and his friends would spend the night. The villagers looked curious and confused at them. How possibly that woman wasn't a yokai?!
"There are many people like her around the world, you have no need to worry. She's just a woman like me" Kagome explained peacefully. Then, she walked into the hovel where Miroku's acts were being watched by Sango's eyes. Shippo was holding Kirara in there. Inuyasha was the last one to enter the humble place. His suspicious wasn't a secret.
"Poor girl..." Kagome wept compassionately "It must have been quite a journey for her."

Annabelle slowly woke up, the scent of a juicy food brought her back to the world. She sat down, still dizzy, there was a tray beside her grass bed. She didn't think twice before take that bowl of stew and devour the food, not caring about any etiquette rules.
"Are you alright?" A girl dressed in strange clothes asked her. The others stared at her in silence, they were shocked by her appetite and the squeezed way she swallowed the soup.
"Who are you?" Annabelle asked and put the bowl aside, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.
"Who are you?! I don't even know you and you're already causing me trouble!" Inuyasha had to be grumpy, as always.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome threatened him with her gaze and he stopped. After that, she turned to give some attention to the unknown girl and explained to her who was everyone in the group: "My name is Kagome." She smiled friendly "This is Shippo." and lifted the tiny fox demon in her hands, he was also smiling. "There are Miroku and Sango, and the bad tempered one, as you can see, is Inuyasha." She commented playfully, not caring about his bored amber orbs staring at her. "Gee! You're really starveling, aren't you?"
Sango?! Annabelle recognized that name at the moment it was pronounced. She craved her blue gaze at the imposing, beautiful female figure. She felt cold running in the lower abdomen and bitterness in her throat. The redheaded woman took a deep breath, swallowed saliva to disentangle herself from that bad feeling and, pretending to be fine, she answered the girl who was being so nice to her: "I haven't eaten for almost five days."
"It's better bring more food to her, then!" Miroku said with his eyes widened.
"You look like a Disney princess" Kagome commented in amusement "Where re you from?"
"I do not know this realm" Annabelle referred to the famous studio of the current era and made Kagome laugh a bit. "I am from Highlands, Scotland" she answered Kagome, but still staring at Sango. She was real after all, there was some true in Naraku's words. However, above the mistrust she might be feeling laid the memory that the young master's health was extremely fragile and there was no one to help him in her absence. "How is my lord Hitomi doing?" She asked directly, a little bit jealous, but even more worried.
"Oh!" Sango was surprised by that question. "So you met him too..."
"How is he?" Annabelle insisted.
"I-I'm sorry, but I don't know..." Sango answered mournfully.
"There are many days I'm trying to find the castle, but I simply can't." Annabelle confessed.
"And you won't, for Naraku's sake." Inuyasha said without courtesy. "That bastard is hiding himself."
"Do you know him too?" her cerulean eyes widened.
"Of course we know the son of a bitch! We're after him." The half breed dog demon answered with a confident smile in his face.
"Why?" She questioned, something inside of her making her shiver.
"Naraku wants to get Shikon no Tama shards together and turn himself into a complete yokai, if he succeed, he'll be invincible and his atrocities will have no end." Sango revealed spiteful.
"Shikon no Tama... What?" Annabelle rubbed her forehead, her head throbbing in disorientation.
"Did he hurt you?" Miroku asked, kneeling beside her and holding her hand.
"Me? No, but... What if he did something bad to Kagewaki?!" Annabelle panicked.
Sango wanted to tell something, but chose to change the subject: "You must rest. In the morning, when you're feeling better, we can calmly talk."
How could she sleep suspecting Naraku made something wrong with her Hitomi?!
"Who Naraku really is?" She asked nervously. Annabelle was sensitive, she could see in those people's expressions a deep knowledge about the White Baboon, she also saw much hurt in their features, as she saw a vengeance desire in their eyes.
"Naraku..." Kagome started, but Inuyasha censored her with his gaze. "What's the matter? I think she deserves to know" and she continued "Naraku is a half breed demon that was born from a fusion of many yokai and a human bandit called Onigumo." then, Kagome came back in time and told Annabelle about priestess Kikyo and her love story with Inuyasha, she told about Shikon no Tama's power, how much Naraku wanted to gain it and the tragedy he caused because of his dark desires. As Kagome was narrating the past, Inuyasha went to the door, crossed his arms and looked outside quietly.
So, Naraku, that creature spared no one. He delighted in the suffering of others. Why?
Annabelle realized that her fiance's counselor tried to turn her against Sango and her own beloved and more; Naraku also conspired for Kagewaki mistrust her once and his dark intentions had almost succeeded. The ginger lass felt the same shiver of a time ago going down her spine. Her eyes trembled, moved by those sad tales about love disagreements caused by such a White Baboon. Her whole soul shook of indignation. How sadistic was the conspiracy he has set up, Annabelle froze in dread, because deep inside she knew that she could be another victim of Naraku's plots.
"Kikyo and Inuyasha weren't Naraku's only victms" Miroku said as he was holding his own hand. He was serious in a way Annabelle hadn't seen yet. Then, the monk told her everything about his family curse - Kazaana - and he told about the day he saw his grandfather being swallowed by that hole within his hand. His dark eyes trembled sadly, Sango looked down and kept in silence, if Miroku showed his melancholy, Sango seemed very angry in the otherside.
If everything Kagome and Miroku said was true, Hitomi's life was in great danger and every second Annabelle was spending in that little hove with that people was sacred for her to attempt to save him. So, the lass got up abruptly.
"Where are you going?" Miroku asked.
"I'll search for him." the woman decreed "I'm going to search for my lord Kagewaki!"
"Hey, calm down..." Sango interceded as she touched Anna's shoulder, making her sit again "What's your name?" and the demon slayer seated by her side.
"Annabelle Rose" she introduced herself in a hurry.
"What an awful name!" Inuyasha laughed spontaneously.
"Inuyasha... Sit!" Kagome finally lost her patience and appealed to kotodama's power. The poor hanyo fell like a tree over that wooden floor. This time, Annabelle was the one who was laughing. Even she was nervous about all things she had listened, she couldn't resist such an odd situation. Inuyasha stared at her and complained, feeling embarrassed. So, she cleared out her throat and gained some seriousness again.
"Anna... erh... Anna." Sango gave up pronouncing that exotic name completely "Listen, I need to find that castle as well. My brother... or who should be my brother is under Naraku's custody. So, rest tonight, and tomorrow we'll search for Naraku's castle together." the demon slayer stroked the shoulder covered by an embroidered pearl sleeve and smiled to her.
Annabelle unlocked her guard and returned that understanding smile with another. Sango had a tender aura within a warrior body, even if the Scottish lady wanted, she wouldn't be able to have bad feelings about such maiden with heroic gestures. Naraku failed once again when tried to manipulate her.
Inuyasha gave up being unfriendly, after all his friends decided to shelter that woman, for the night at least. Above the hovel roof some demon bugs were flying.

The group slept in the same cubicle, everyone scattered. Sango arranged the beds so that Miroku would stay away from Annabelle. After all, the monk had a very bad reputation.
As much as she tried, the foreigner girl could not keep herself on alert, she was very tired. Annabelle fell asleep and in her dreams the giant black spider appeared only to torment her as always, and this time the monster held the handsome daimyo she loved between it's eight, long hairy paws. Annabelle tried to reach him, yet she was bound to a web again. The white strands swayed, there was some other creature there, it was coming closer. It was crawling by her left side. She desperate turned her face and saw him. The greenish monkey snout sealed to her pale cheek, those crimson eyes twinkling in voracity.
Annabelle woke up screaming loud, then she touched the straw bed, looked around all hove corners and realized she was alone in there. She could hear an intense noise outside, monsters were growling, they sound similar to that yokai horde she saw flying in the sky days ago. So, she got up and ran to the door, leaning against the frame.
There was a boy kneeling on the grass, his finger trying to reach his own back. Once he did that gesture, a purple light escaped from his nape and reflected on Annabelle's eyes. For the first time she had contact with a piece of the cursed jewel.
A giant boomerang – so she called – hit the big sword of the lad with silver long hair and threw it away. Sooner the blade decreased in size and showed itself as an ordinary and rusty katana. Annabelle ran to Sango and stayed by her side.
This boy must be her brother!
The demon slayer took Inuyasha's sword in her hand, surprising everyone. Decided of what she had to do, she called her pet yokai Kirara and then, the boy pointed his finger to the ginger woman.
"Naraku wants to see her" his woody eyes remained expressionless. And so he departed, riding a enormous colored centipede.
Annabelle didn't loose time and sat at Sango's back, riding the feline demon with various tails. Her chest was panting, her blood flowing swiftly all over her body to the point she could feel it. Her skin burned as her flaming eyes, anxious for the truth.
The two women were covered by the glow. The path suddenly turned into an extensive shine with no right directions. When the blinding light ceased, an imposing castle unfolded behind the vast purple curtain of miasma. Annabelle recognized her home, once clear and ornate by a fancy garden, now lurid and desert. It was all dead.
They landed on the roof, at a place opposite to where a dark voice announced itself, charging Sango to deliver the promised saber. The demon slayer threw her boomerang in the voice's direction and it craved on the roof. Finally, the baboon revealed himself seated over the entrance stairs.
First, he glared devilish at the anxious western lass. She felt like she was impaled into his gaze and remained still. Her eyes and mouth opened in shock. After, Naraku greeted the other guest.
Sango jumped from the roof to the floor.
Annabelle witnessed the confrontation between a perverse monster and a desolate human. She finally knew what fate the demon slayers called by Kagewaki's father had. They all have died trying to defeat the giant spider that was around the property. She also discovered that they were Sango's family. More and more her heart was trembling, her hand shaking while she pressed the moon pendant in her necklace. The whole world spun around her, and only stopped when Sango dealt the blow that tore the blanket of her fiance's counselor in pieces.
His long, black hair spread, his noble purple garments unveiled, and when the gale settled the curling curtains opened to reveal a familiar face.
"It isn't possible..." It must have been an exclamation, but her voice came out choppy and weak. Annabelle released the pendant, her inactive arms swaying with the lightness of the breeze. Those scarlet globes were smiling, staring at her immersed into the darkest of pleasures.
Did he want to tear her up inside?
"You are the young master of this castle!" Sango said, startled as well.
"Kagewaki, a great leader indeed... He ordered a great funeral for the demon slayers that died" He narrowed his eyes and widened an evil smile. "Oh, yes, he also ordered that your life should be saved."
"Did you kill him?!" the Demon Slayer shouted.
Annabelle didn't want to hear Naraku's answer. An inexpressible pain struck her and pierced her like an arrow. Her turquoise orbs, however, remained dry and opaque.
"Kagewaki Hitomi... now I am the master of this castle." and with those final words from his she knew...
She would never see her Hitomi again.
The blue of her eyes whitened completely. Her fingers tightened, and the land that held the property began to shake.
Sango and Naraku leaned forward trying to keep their balance. Both were attentive to the red-haired woman's rigid body floating down from the tiles and hovering lightly to the floor like a wandering ghost.
"Na...ra...ku!" her mouth rumbled creaking as albuginea rays were falling from the sky and trying to hit him harder.
Who is this woman?! Sango stared astonished.
Damn witch! Naraku jumped from one side to another, trying to avoid the light arrows hunting him.
He felt deep anger and an unbridled desire to hurt her. At the same time, he felt strong admiration for the unknown power she emanated, which he associated with the resplendent little moon gracing her neck.
To be continued...
