Annabelle was leading the white rays with her head movements. The intensive lights were following all Naraku jumps and sometimes they almost hit him. Sango tried to approach the woman and touch her arm. A mystical force, however, dragged the demon slayer away and she fell sitting on the sand.
"Do not interfere!" Annabelle's voice sounded strange, totally different from what it used to be.
That brief distraction cost her a higher price. The new master of the castle jumped over her and knocked her down over the brown soft earth. With his body above the shinny and delicate one, Naraku's ambitious grin increased and his fingers pressed that crystal moon adorning her neck, wanting to steal it for himself. When he least expected it though, the same force that made Sango fell threw him away, he had been brusquely repulsed. His body flew first, after it descended in free fall, crashing the roof, entering the castle against his will. Frightened by that unexpected event, Naraku took advantage of being protected inside to send Kohaku out.
Big doors opened, the boy appeared within a massive red light. Naraku's voice echoed from inside, teasing Sango to fight against her own blood. Annabelle was even more furious and the alabaster radiancy surrounding her got even more brightened. She was shaking.
"Your body will collapse!" Sango warned her, and she was right.
It was too much for Annabelle to take. After sending a couple rays to chase Naraku, she fell unconscious on the sand. As she lost her senses the purple venom returned to evolve the sky dome.

It's already daytime. Annabelle thought as soon she opened her eyes and stared the desert landscape. There was no building around, not even a single plant. Naraku was gone and the castle seemed to flee with him.
She saw people around, looking at her figure with worried features. Bit by bit, she could recognize them, they were the group from another night.
"What was that?" Sango asked while helping her to sit.
Annabelle felt a bitter taste inside her mouth, the visage of the demon slayer was bringing back her recent memories. Anna got up in silence and tumbled backward until she was a little far from them.
"What the hell is she doing?" Inuyasha curiously questioned.
"Who is she?" Sango wandered "She could have killed Naraku, I'm sure of it!"
Inuyasha laughed unbelieving. After all, that woman was just a human and didn't look like a priestess at all.
"Annabelle..." Kagome followed her carefully "We wish to talk to you... Annabelle?" She called her for a second time and the ginger lass gave no response, she knelt on the ground instead, and gently ran her hands over the grains of sand. Kagome knelt as well, staying at her side, contemplating the foreigner close the cerulean eyes and press one ear against the ground, seeming to listen the sounds coming from below.
"What are you doing?" Kagome asked.
"I'm looking for..." Anna spoke.
"Looking for what?" the girl insisted, she couldn't understand what the lass was trying to do.
"It's not here." Annabelle took portions of sand in her hands and threw them away. Then she violently started to dig. "It's not anywhere!" She screamed.
"Yo! What are you talking about?!" Inuyasha came closer.
"His body!" Finally, Annabelle found the edge of her despair and lost all control. Tears came down her face like waterfalls and splashed from her chin. "His body! Where is it? I need to find his body!" She compulsively punched the ground.
Everyone sympathized with her suffering, even the supposed insensitive hanyo. His golden eyes analyzed her, then he held her by the arms and lifted her up. Annabelle kicked the sand, shook her legs, frantically struggling all her joint and Inuyasha kept seizing her tight.
"Stop it! It will do you no good!" He scolded.
"How could he?!" She yelled, broken into pieces "How can someone do such a horrible thing? What does he earn destroying people lives?"
Kagome, more gentle then Inuyasha, came by her side and held Annabelle, trying to comfort her.
"Thank you..." Anna felt cherished and returned the hug "I'm sorry, I can only imagine how much you all already suffered in the hands of that..." she stopped the phrase before speaking an inappropriate word. "Sango, I'm so sorry about you and your brother..." Annabelle faced the brave warrior lass that was analyzing her from afar. "Please, forgive me for loosing my temper" She humble asked for them all.
"Don't worry about it, you were a victim of that bastard as well." Sango answered as she was petting Kirara in her arms. "But... what was that?" She was talking about Annabelle's performance last night.
"Oh, that... I was born with that power, it's part of me." she sighed.
"Are you a priestess?" Miroku questioned.
"No" Annabelle seemed to be bothered to talk about that matter, Kagome noticed.
"Hey, listen, why don't you come with us?" The girl from a distant era proposed. "You must wish that Naraku's atrocities end up too, and if you have such a great power as Sango described, you could help us". She smiled friendly.
"Going with you?" Annabelle found herself surprised by the invitation and just didn't know how to deal with it. She wasn't use to have company and her last experience on the matter was a disaster.
"Why not, Anna-hime?" Miroku got excited about the idea. "If you come with us, no one else will hunt you down thinking you are a yokai."
"Houshi-sama..." Sango stared him with her scathing brown eyes.
"Even because there's only one yokai in this group!" Shippo said as he looked at the ginger haired lass a little bit shy.
"Two yokai" Inuyasha immediately corrected him.
"I was talking about complete yokai" the little fox showed his tongue to his friend, and received a punch on the top of his head. "Inuyasha, you idiot! Why did you do that?!" Shippo complained.
Annabelle watched them thoroughly. That band were so united, they seemed to be persevering and unusual. Definitely, they shouldn't be the kind of people who were used to rashly judge others. She felt tempted to follow them, because she felt welcomed, for Kagome mostly. After all, she missed fondness and company, she would like to have some friends to talk to, to share experiences.
Then Hitomi owned her thoughts again. She was devastated. Anna took a deep breath trying to control her emotions, she wouldn't allow them to take over her again. When she less expected, there was she away again, lost in daydreams.
"Your horse" Kagome brought her back to real world. She was pointing a finger to the animal "We brought him with us, your stuff are on his back".
"Thank you..." she started to walk by their side, and when she was next to her horse, Annabelle announced: "I have an idea about what to do with Naraku," They stared at her in curiosity as she continued speaking "it can cost me, but I won't look back".
"And what kind of idea is it?" Inuyasha crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
"Let's go to the nearest lake or river, I need some water." the red-haired woman smiled hopeful.
They accepted her idea, their curiosity asked for it. They would need to find a stream soon or later anyway, to bathe and indulge their thirst. Why not going with the lady and help her finding it so? And then, they would find out what she had in mind.
So, the group walked together and talked about many trivial things. Annabelle didn't speak much, she would prefer to observe them, their funny features, their collection of amazing stories... Above everything, they were strong. They were capable to overcome their individual tragedies and embrace each other as a family.
In another life, maybe I could have such friendships. Who knows? She moaned in her reveries. Finally, her feet were upon the lakeside.
"Can you help me?" Anna asked to Sango, because she was the nearest person. The western lass was trying to reach the row of clasps on the pink dress' back.
"Inuyasha, Miroku, you two leave us now!" Kagome guided them, and the foreigner lass covered her lips with a hand, containing a chuckle.
"Can I stay?" Shippo asked maidenly. The little fox was still confused by the last events, and mostly with the new person in his group. His cheeks were blushing as he stared at her.
"Of course you can, little one" Annabelle tenderly answered his request, making him blush even more.
"It's not fair" Miroku whispered at Inuyasha's ear.
"You pervert!" the inuhanyo scolded him, and finally they left.
Sango waited a bit, till she had confidence that there was no adult masculine presence around them. As she didn't see any suspicious movement, she opened button by button of the western outfit while Kagome helped Annabelle to take off the heavy sleeves. The pinkish dress fell gracefully on the grass and Belle was covered only by a thin white layer of silk and her ivory corset. So, she untied the laces of her boots and pulled them out, then she lifted her skirt up to her thighs and tied the cloth there.
A dagger was tucked in a strap tied around her leg, Annabelle unsheathed it and exposed the razor sharp clear as a mirror, where her face reflected tenaciously.
As she entered the water and her body immersed to her waist, she brought the left hand closer to her face. Anna touched the blade's apex, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and concluded:
"From now on, there's no coming back" and she opened a deep wound on her palm.
"What is she doing?!" Kagome feared for her.
Annabelle ran the bloody hand on her face, painting it red. Then she laid her palm on the lake's surface and the scarlet fluid drew arabesques upon the transparent liquid.
"I'm here, come and find me" She whispered and the arabesques turned into roots that were shining bright as if they were made of rubies. Some drops of water flew against gravity laws, as did some orange locks of hers.
Kagome felt something strange in the air – darkness was lurking around as a dense and mystical fog started to form and circle the trees, covering the grass till it gathered in front of Annabelle, forming a woman's shape.
"At last, you open yourself to me and let me find you!" the female voice, a little more deep than Annabelle's, echoed. The black mist faded to emerald green and started do gain a concrete form. Soon, vast golden locks of curly hair materialized as also did one pair of eyes so clear blue as Annabelle's was, yet not so pure. There was something wicked inside them, and painted in red in that woman's lips as well. Her features were identical to the red-haired girl's, but her thin smirk was denouncing she was a person who have been following a doubtful path.
"Ailyn, I need you." Anna confessed, even she was disgusted with herself to have to summon that woman.
The smirk on the blonde lass' face grew and she threw the black shroud that was covering her body away, showing herself in a fancy red western dress with black lace sleeves, her hands were covered by velvet gloves to the middle of her fingers. A golden ring with a beautiful vivid green gem adorned her right little finger. Definitely, she was a vision so as Annabelle was, but she wasn't so friendly though.
"What do you want from me?" The woman in red walked over the water, lifting up her skirt to not let it get wet. She stopped over land, in front of the red-haired one and waited for an answer.
"I want you to help me to conjure the weapon." She went strict to the point, showing the cut in her palm, Anna delivered the silver dagger on the other lady's hand. "After finishing my task, I'll come to you. You have my word." Then she lifted her wounded hand and delivered the dagger to Ailyn.
Sango and Kagome stood in silence and watched the blonde woman take off one glove, catch the dagger and make the same cut in her own palm, as it was a ritual. So, Ailyn put her hand over Annabelle's and blood entwined their wrists as a scarlet chain. The two western women closed their cerulean eyes and whispered ancient foreigner words. It was like they were singing an ancestral chant, a song as old as time itself, down from heaven to this ordinary Earth. While their voices sounded so harmonized, a light half dark, half white covered them and shone through the Japanese girls' eyes. When they could realize, Kagome and also Sango felt mesmerized by that mysterious radiance. Shippo embraced one of Kagome's legs and pushed Sango's skirt, yet they didn't answered even he was whimpering insistently.
"What is happening, Kagome?" Inuyasha came out of the woods impulsively, because he felt something strange in the air "Hey, what's this?!"
"Wow!" Miroku sneaked through the thickets, believing that he would see beautiful women bathing in the lake. But the monk had to settle for watching the bizarre scene of two lasses with raised arms, cloudy eyes staring up at the sky, lips repeating a kind of unknown mantra.
From the nocturnal welkin, a bright ray descended and fell between the two women. They danced around that light with their hands entwined till the shine fades and a crystal clear weapon appears craved in a stone. It was a little bigger than Annabelle's dagger, it's blade looked like glass and was curved like a hook. Its ivory handle had a drawing of a silvery tree.
Annabelle bent down, pulled the dagger and held it in her hands. She smiled proudly, and then she turned to her new folks and assured them: "With this, we have a chance to defeat Naraku."
"Remember, Annabelle, we have a deal" Ailyn warned her. After, the blonde lass' shapes turned into mist and she disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"Who was she?" Kagome asked as she came out of trance. Shippo jumped in her arms, relieved.
"Ailyn Rose, my sister" Annabelle told.

Into the depths of the forest, they lit a fire and sat around it as they talked.
"So you're a descendant of the Celts?" Kagome asked in wonder as she helped Annabelle to clean the wound in her hand, and bandage it with gauze and plasters from the future, stored inside the yellow backpack.
"Yes, me and all my ancestors..."
"Wow! I heard something about the Celts, but even in my time their History is very mysterious." Kagome couldn't restrain the excitement.
"In your time?" Annabelle asked intrigued.
"Oh, it's just a figure of speech, you know?" Kagome laughed.
"What are they talking about?" Shippo whispered on Inuyasha's ear.
"I have no idea" he said as he shook his shoulders, not caring about such matter.
"Well, my sister chose a different path" Annabelle told.
"She has a sinister aura" Miroku commented as he scratched his chin.
"Ailyn surrendered to black magic" the ginger lass laid down over the grass and kept her blue eyes on those dancing flames warming and protecting them from cold nocturnal breeze.
"And why did you ask help to someone like her?" Sango interrogated. "It can turn against you".
"Only day and night, darkness and purity, together, can materialize it" she drew the weapon tied around her waist. "That's the price."
"And if you kill Naraku with the dagger, what will you give to her in return?" Sango insisted.
Annabelle turned to the other side, avoiding to prolong that conversation. She didn't want to speak about it anymore, for what would happen next concerned her, and her alone.
"Hey, miss... are you alright?" Shippo touched a lock of her orange hair carefully, the little fox demon seemed to be worried.
"Yes, little one. I just need some sleep, I'm tired..." She smiled.

It was still before dawn, Annabelle opened her eyes suddenly and sat down. Her companions were asleep, the blond woman was behind a tree, as if waiting for her.
One sister went sneaking to the other. Ailyn gestured with one hand, asking to be followed. Anna accepted the invitation, she pulled the horse by the reins and walked right behind. They went down the hill without speaking a word and reached a moor.
"Who is the victim?" The woman with golden curls asked.
"Someone who deserves to receive the final blow" she laid her hands over the white handle.
"Do you know where to find it?"
"I'm waiting him to come to me"
"You are a genius, Annabelle" she instantly laughed. "Don't you even have a plan?"
"Why do you worry about that?"
"Well, I want what's mine by right, and as fast as possible"
"Look" Annabelle pointed a finger to a demon bug approaching them "He is watching us"
"Really? Does that thing belong to him?" She gazed to the Saimyosho close enough to be grabbed by her impetuous hand.
Ailyn stared into that little beast eyes, through them she glimpsed a castle hidden behind a purple cloud of miasma.

What?! Naraku's red orbs widened in surprise. How could anyone find his hiding place so easily?
A barrier formed around his gloomy home. He didn't know what Annabelle was plotting, but he would be prepared for anything. Prevention is better than cure.

Dressed in her classic blue dress, Annabelle rode her faithful stallion and galloped away. She did as her sister told – ran without looking behind, for hours, till the sun rise up. To that moment the group must have found out she was missing, but it was too late. Her destiny was sealed. She arrived, at last, in the desired and feared place she once knew and almost called a home. There was a barrier between her and the castle. Anna smiled confidently.
"Do you really believe that's enough to stop me?" Her palm touched that pink force field and made it splatter.
It might took a while, but Naraku noticed that Hitomi's fiancee were still able to cross the energy barricade and catch up with him. Then, the hanyo decided to take advantage of another card in his sleeve. After all, Naraku was the master of tricks, wasn't him?
"You can't hide forever, Naraku!" In the end, she broke the barrier like it was made of glass and there was she, in front of her young master's former address. "Why don't you come and welcome me? Are you afraid?" She teased him, even she was anxious and scared. Her hand laid over the handle of the reaper weapon, tied at her waist.
"Here I am, Annabelle" He finally came down the steps of the entrance stairs, exposing himself smirking and well-dressed in Kagewaki Hitomi's robes. "I knew that soon or later, you would come to me. It seems we have a lot to talk about." With a false smile on his face, he bowed to her and said, in a mocking tone: "My lady".
The hand that was preparing to pull the dagger hesitated. She came down from the horse's back. Her legs walked up to the wicked man, her arms extended to him and when they were close enough she tightened him in a miserable embrace.
Naraku arched a black eyebrow and grinned wretchedly.
"Poor Annabelle Rose..." He pretended to be sympathetic to her and put an arm around her waist, one hand caressed the top of her head."From now on, I'll take care of you".
To be continued...
