"Inuyasha, where's Annabelle?" Kagome has asked so many times that she had lost the count. "Aren't you telling us what has happened"?
"I'm pretty sure that he scared Anna-hime with this terrible mood of his" Shippo scolded and then he moaned: "I want Anna-hime back"!
"She left, that's all. Now, why don't you shut up and leave me alone?!" Inuyasha rolled to the side, laying over the grass. Damn it! He cursed in his thoughts, feeling awful in such situation.

You don't love me, I even doubt you ever loved Kikyo, but in some twisted, strange way... You care. And if you are capable of caring, there must be some goodness in you...
Naraku, sitting over a bench, in front of the golden harp, could not stop his mind on often turning back to those Annabelle's words. How strange, and memorable confrontation, he would say. And then, his thoughts guided him to their last, intense and passionate encounter which was surprising even for himself.
Is it possible Annabelle being in love with me? His lips parted a bit, releasing a long sigh. His finger touched one string and a random sound came out.
"There you are..." Ailyn, at first, put her head inside of that chamber. Soon she dared to pass her whole body through the door, even knowing the risk she was assuming. Naraku was definitely not in the mood.
By the hanyo's side was the little white yokai holding her mirror. Through such rounded silver object, the spider ruby eyes were watching the lass of the flaming hair errant wandering to nowhere with her arms entwined around her body.
"And there she is" the blondie twin leaned in front of Kanna and gazed her sister's visage through the glass. "She looks so vulnerable... Who would tell she was a child kissed by the fairies?"
Some hours ago, Ailyn had revealed to Naraku Annabelle's true origin.

"Tells the tale, when our great-grandmother was a newborn, her parents had put her in a basket and left it between a large oak's roots, as an offer to the fairies."
"Fairies?" The arachnid half demon was curious.
"Enchanted beings from my homeland, something similar to you, yokai" She explained. " They live in kingdoms hidden deep inside the forest. When the harvest isn't going well, some families use their babies as an offering. Parents leave their newborns under the trees, so the fairies may come and get them. Then, they take those infants to their secret domains. There are people who believe fairies devour the children, yet in my great-grandma case, the fairies raised her as one of their kind".
"And then?" Naraku asked, crossing his arms.
"Our great-grandmother grew up inside those magic creatures' realm and was graced with their gift. However, when she became a woman and was ready to turn into one of those creatures, she met a common man and fell in love with him. So, she fled from the kingdom, carrying the mystery and the mysticism with herself. Since then, the first-born girl of every generation has been gifted with such power. But Annabelle, oh, she has exceeded all expectations..." as Ailyn was revealing her family history, she walked through the dark room, her boots' heels clicking harder against the floor. "Those who were kissed by the fairies usually have power to control the four elements of Mother Nature, which are water, fire, earth and air. Yet, Annabelle's skills are far beyond, she has the gift of regenerate, and even to revive beings. She is like a necromancer. Some would say that when my sister was born, the spirits of the forest incarnated in her body, so she does not only control elements, but she speaks for the Mother Nature's itself, like a bridge between the triple Goddess and this world".
"Very interesting, indeed" His scarlet eyes glimmered, as precious as wicked they were, a bit widened, so was his smirk, admiration and curiosity pulsing inside of him. Yet, there was a question needed to be asked. "Then, tell me, aren't you and Annabelle twin sisters? So, why didn't both of you were graced by such magnificent power?"
"Annabelle came into this world a few instants before me" She puffed, than narrowed her eyes in disdain, spite almost dripping through her pores.
"Such a pity, is it not?" Naraku chuckled. Ailyn's evident envy consuming her soul was something very pleasant to be witnessed. "So, where do your supernatural abilities come from?"
"I have learned some tricks when I joined a very powerful witch's coven. My father's second wife" A malevolent grin curved those reddish lips as Ailyn looked down, glancing the shinny precious green stone carved on a golden ring adorning her little finger.

A storm finally poured down, pronounced by resonating thunders. The lonely outsider lass was wandering around, dragging her long dress over the soil. She did not seem to care about the weather.
"Annabelle can shape the nature as she pleases, if she is happy, the sun may glow intensely. If she is sad, may the rain descend along with her tears..." Ailyn touched Kanna's mirror. "In this exact moment, my sister is shattered in pieces".
Kagura has arrived about a minute ago, and was just behind the door listening to them.
"This would be the perfect moment to intercept her" The Red Rose looked at him. " Why don't you go to her meeting?"
Naraku remained reticent, just attentive into the image inside the mirror. His black, thin eyebrows discretely curving below, eyes narrowed, so unobtrusive that only he was able to notice.
"Even being blessed for such power capable of changing nature's ways and healing the ones in need, Annabelle is human and her body is vulnerable to her kind's diseases". Ailyn spoke. "Her gift can be used in any creature but herself..." And then she moved away from her sister's reflection. Already erect, she gazed the hanyo once more, before leaving him to deal with his troubled mind, accompanied only by the little soulless albino girl.
It would not be a wise thing to do. Naraku warned himself, unapproving such silly idea of chasing after a human into the woods. A deep, low hum delivered from his throat and sounded through his teeth. He turned his face, avoiding to stare at the lass' image on the mirror.
You do care. Yet, her soft voice just wouldn't stop to repeat itself, tormenting him like an eternal refrain.

Anna walked till she felt her legs heavier of tiredness, till there was no more trees around her, but a large open meadow. She widely opened her arms and lifted her face above. There, absorbed by the intense green, the lonesome pilgrim stood remembering her missing country, that land she had to leave in so prematurely way. To draw the marvelous stone castles in her memory was a distraction which made her forget the implacable cold.
Soon, a nefarious energy began to approach. Annabelle opened her eyes and they widened in the moment she saw him descending from the sky, illuminated by noisy rays' lights. If her heart had a voice of it's own, it would be madly screaming. Her only impulse was to run, and so she did. Turning herself behind, Anna forced her exhausted legs to go. Her dialogue with Kikyo, and the little confident she took of it, all fallen, buried in the ground. It was him, in person. It was him!
Of course, human feet would never be as fast as a yokai agility, not even as a hanyo's. So, in a blow Naraku was right ahead blocking her way, protected by his purplish dome, not a single drop of rain was able to touch him.
Annabelle spun her body to another side again, insisting on running away, then some tentacles suddenly entwined her waist, bringing her to such undesirable encounter. They turned her to face the inevitable, sheltering her frail soaked being inside the barrier. At last, those appendages returned to their origins - into a creature composed by countless yokai and a human heart.
"No..." First she whispered, her head waving negatively. "No!" Then Annabelle screamed, her fingers entwined in her hair, almost pulling it, her eyes shutting tightly. "Disappear of my life, I cannot stand this anymore!" She shouted, sending all pride to the hell. Damn it her façade of a strong, virtuous woman, the foreigner just wanted to unburden her frustration.
Hands contained hers, slowly moving them away from the ginger scalp . A warm pelt covered her head and back then. And, finally, she felt a soft touch, smoothing her arms in a gesture that seemed an attempt to protect her from the weather.
Her celestial orbs slowly opened, slower still they moved from her feet, lifting their glance to the pretty purple garment of the spider, focusing in some green and yellow embroidery, till she finally found some courage to look him in the eyes and once again was surprised by her view. Instead of dealing with an oppressive smirk, Annabelle stared at two apparent uneasy, red unblinking spheres though, they almost looked sad. While sharing gazes with her, Naraku persisted to rub his hands above the baboon pelt covering the lass.
"Will I ever break free of your web?" She crooned as her weeping was dropping over her cheeks like water threads. No response came from him. "Won't you speak any of your mockeries? Doesn't look like yourself..." She bitterly sad, yet Anna's words faded as soon as she felt fingertips wiping her tears. "What are you trying to do?" Rigid to her bones, she asked.
"Shut your mouth!" Finally he broke the silence and pulled her by the arms, Anna's face has been pressed against his thorax. "Don't you understand, Annabelle Rose? You are alone, lost in a field full of greedy yokai that are waiting their first chance just to consume your power" He stroke her hair while speaking. "The only one you can rely on at the moment is me".
"Oh, and how you must be loving it, isn't you?" Annabelle raised her face, her chin found rest over his sheltering chest. As soon as she gazed into those redness again, the shimmering tremulous pools broke her defenses again. "Why do you look me in this way?" A pressure inside her core made Anna sigh in defeat. Her forehead touched the softness of his kimono once more, one hand climbed, stroking it's embroideries, and then squeezed the fabric. "Why, Naraku"?
"Because I care" with his head resting over hers, he confessed while looking at the foggy horizon. "I believe I care about you, Annabelle" Then he made a little correction, for Naraku didn't want to deliver the certainty on her hands, although deep inside he already was sure.
Her mouth, pale by the cold, has quivered, muttering an intelligible sound, as her blue orbs were looking inside of his, searching any trace of pretending, yet they have found only sobriety.
"Come, I will take you out of this rain" Naraku said, raising a hand to her.
Annabelle could not help but accepting his gesture, putting her cold wet palm over his soft and warm one, feeling a gentle squeeze of his fingers around.
To be continued...

Oh, my dearest readers, I hope you have enjoyed this chapter, and enjoy even more the next, just like I did when I was writing. I'll try to publish it as soon as I can.
Hope you also have liked to read about Annabelle's powers. Although I read a bit about fairies and such, I must say that I used these mystical creatures most as a background, the concept of "kissed by the fairies" I fully invented. I really love to create my own mythology, you know? Even if it's based on something, or a mix of theologies.
Oh, and I must tell you that this fic is going to have pretty much chapters. When I wrote it in Portuguese (my native language) there were 46 chapters when it was completed, however, many of than had 6k, 8k and the bigger ones even reached 12k, so I was told by a friend to cut it in parts when I would start to translate them to English, and that's what I'm doing. Sometimes there will be a chapter a bit longer, but most of them will be 2k or 3k, and for this very reason Web of Lies will have much more chapters in English, I hope you don't mind.
Please, send me some feedbacks if you can. I would love to know what are you thinking about this "little" plot. Can't wait to share with you what will come next :3
Till the next time!
Kissuuus!!!
