Above a tree branch nearby, there was Kagome holding her bow, she was the one who had hit Naraku from behind, and was ready to shoot another arrow on him. Between some leaves Shippo was hidden, only his big rounded eyes could be seen, consumed by the shine of victorious sensation
"Take this, Naraku, you jerk!" The little fox laughed. "Well done, Kagome!" He jumped in instants of insane self confidence, till being furiously stared by the hanyo and return to hide between the leaves.
"You bastard, leave Annabelle alone!" Kagome shouted, aiming the next arrow to his head. That's my chance. Now! The luminescent shaft flew, however a curtain of miasma has spread intensely and fast.
The Scottish lass knew he would try to run, taking her under his guard. For that reason, she gathered the strength she has left and floated away like a glimmering white rocket, high into the air. Then, at some distance, Annabelle fell as a cadent star in the middle of a vast flowered field. Kanna has stollen a piece of her soul, if the foreigner had been able to stand for so long, it would surely be for that jewel shard's sake.
Her mind seemed to be covered by stormy clouds, there were memories floating disconnected, sounding like a far away dream. Belle knew that a Shikon shard was pulsing inside of her, although she didn't remember how it came to be into her chest, it was clear to her that it could only be a "gift" from Naraku and that must have been the fuse which made her almost murder Ailyn.
He won't come for me, not now. She smiled, feeling relieved and exhausted at the same time. He is pretty much injured... Her eyelids half sealed were fighting to maintain her sight on the cerulean sky. She was worried about him after all. To see Kagome's arrow crossing his flesh has anguished her immensely, and she secretly hated herself for feeling this way. Her chest burned lightly, Anna wouldn't guess if it was because of her pounding heart or if the reason was that abominable mark the arachnid has left inside of her.
Then, Annabelle heard a familiar buzzing. A very well known demon bug has approached her, making her realize that for as much as that gemstone fragment should reside into her skin, she would never be free of him. Naraku's many eyes would always be lurking her surroundings.
Steps sounded, getting closer. Anna felt someone's shadow over her, when facing who would it be, she got worrisome. The girl of eburnum hair and the blackest of eyes stared at her in silence.
"You..." Before Annabelle could curse, she saw Kanna open one hand and let a shinny object fall over the soil. It was the moon pendant. "Naraku has sent you. Didn't he? You will have to absorb the rest of my soul if you're willing to take me back to that castle".
Kagura's oldest sister pointed her rounded, silver mirror to the ginger lass, Annabelle was certain of what would be coming next. So, she closed her eyes tightly, squeezed the grass between her fingers and then felt her body warming, touched by an albescent light. Her coppery eyelashes untangled it's strands and she resumed to gaze at the little girl. By that time, the albino yokai has already turned her back and was walking away.
Did she just give my soul back? Annabelle felt surprised and confused, while pulling her necklace from the ground and resting it over her bosom. As the girl was taking distance, a deep slumber has placated the human laying in there.

"Kagome, what happened?" Inuyasha has found her while jumping around the devastated woods.
"I hit Naraku!" She told him, still in disbelief. "I hit him, he must be very injured!" An excited and hopeful smile colored her features.
"You did what?!" He almost yelled.
"It's true! I saw it with my very eyes!" Shippo couldn't stop laughing and jumping.
"But then he ran, and I couldn't sense any Shikon shard anymore..." The girl sighed.
"Kagome, Inuyasha!" Miroku called them from above, before Inuyasha could complain about any of Kagome's sayings. The monk and the Demon Slayer were riding Kirara. As soon as the feline demon reached the poisoned desert soil, the duo went to their friends to listen the good news.
"I wouldn't have reached them if it wasn't for..." Kagome was telling the late events "Kikyo" Then she gazed at a flavescent pair of spheres. "She opened the path so I could go to Annabelle and her sister".
"Kikyo?" Inuyasha whispered in a unusual softness.
"Annabelle has a Shikon shard now" Kagome looked away and changed the subject.
"I bet Naraku tried to control her, as he did with Kohaku" Sango nodded her head in disgust. "He failed though" Then she gazed at the others.
"It's true, Sango" Kagome said "I'm sure he wanted to make Annabelle kill her own sister, so it would stain the shard inside of her, but I've watched everything. Anna helped her sister to scape, and was ready to face him". She sounded enthusiastic.
"It all sounds so strange to me..." Miroku rested his chin upon the stick, his eyes focusing on the desert earth's path that followed to a little hill. "What Inuyasha told about Naraku and Anna-hime to Kagome isn't something to be ignored".
"What's the matter about Naraku and Anna-hime?" Shippo asked while scratching one side of his head.
"Shippo, it's a delicate matter, I'll tell you when you're older. Right?" Miroku explained with a silly smile adorning his semblance.
"Does it have something to do with that thing you always ask to any woman you meet?" The little fox arched one eyebrow.
"Alright, time to change the subject!" Sango protested, her face burning red.
"We can't control our feelings..." Kagome spoke as her eyes mirrored the serene skies. "Therefore we can't condemn her, for we don't choose whom we love" at the end, she glared to the inuhanyo, whose dog ears were moving agitated.

You have betrayed me." That voice so painfully familiar echoed in a vast void, there wasn't shapes, nor ghostly shades, there was nothing but that suffered lament.
"Kagewaki?!" she couldn't see herself into that emptiness either. There were only their voices within the darkness.
"I thought you loved me..." He proceeded ominously. "I died because of you, and now I am in here..." At last, grunting voices resounded behind his bitter one, as them all were sharing the same anger. It didn't even looked like him.
"Please, forgive me..." Anna mumbled, how could she ever refute such accusation? It was unforgettable how Naraku and she had traded passionate caresses into the woods, and then how they shared an intimate moment inside a cave. She not only didn't fight against the temptation, but also took some first steps. Her blood ran cold while she was realizing how inconsequential, selfish and weak she had been. "My lord?" She called, yet no more word came in response. "Please, don't go away..." An oppressive silence has been established. However, her feeling of guilt made Anna scream her lungs out, spitting out the bitterness locked in her throat "Kagewaki"!

"Miss? Miss!" Suddenly, Annabelle heard a child's voice while feeling a little hand shaking her shoulder.
She moaned, slowly opening her eyes and then stretching her arms. Had she fell asleep? It seemed so. What a relief someone has appeared and woke her up. Her nightmares were getting more vivid and the last one has been the most terrifying. She was used to face a sad and lost Hitomi, wandering around with no destiny ahead, yet Belle never had seen him so bitter and furious. She felt like someone was pressing her heart while imagining how his features must have looked like as he said her those things. She thought about those almond eyes, once tender, now burning angrily, almost similar to wicked ruby orbs... And then, one more time the lass noticed Naraku overshadowing Kagewaki inside her mind.
Annabelle shook her head a bit, and soon turned her face to where that docile girly voice was coming from. She glared at a little smiling girl and sighed, trying to not spare any more thoughts on that awful dream, at least in that moment.
"You are alive, I'm relieved!" The kid clapped her hands, kneeling by the foreigner's side. Her straight dark hair was falling over her shoulders, with just a single lock tied upon one side of her head. The child was wearing a kimono with shades of yellow and orange tones on it's fabric, and they were combining perfectly with the sun shinning at her back.
"Hello, little one..." Anna retrieved the smile, though hers wasn't so excited. Then she sat, holding her flexed legs. "How long have you been here?"
"Not much" She answered friendly. "I came here to pick some flowers and then I've found you. I thought you are a very beautiful yokai!" There came a sigh of admiration.
"And wasn't you afraid of me?" Anna was surprised.
The girl shook her head, meaning a "no", still smiling innocently.
"Well, let me tell you a secret..." She came near the kid's ear and whispered "I'm not a yokai, I am human, just as you".
"What?" Those big hazel eyes widened. "How can it be? You look so different from all women I've ever known!" She was mortified. "Not that I have met many of them though..." and then she laughed.
"I am Annabelle Rose" she said, also laughing a bit. "What's your name?"
Before the child could answer, a squeaky voice echoed from afar, revealing it: "Rin! Finally I've found you, you little brat!"
Annabelle curiously watched the tiny green creature coming near, it was bouncing a wooden stick while jumping anxiously.
"What a funny pet..." She said, looking at him closely.
"Pet?!" The little one angrily shook his arms. The uncontrolled reptile hissing sound scaping his lips made Anna laugh. "Pay respects to me woman, I am a yokai!"
"Lord Jaken, this is miss Anaberu Rosu" The child happily introduced her. "Miss Anaberu Rosu, this is lord Jaken!" She pointed him with her arms.
Anaberu. To listen that way of pronouncing her name was like being stabbed in the heart. Kagewaki has invaded her thoughts once again, sweet and bitter memories revolved into her core. She lowered her eyes to her grimy dress, fingers squeezing it's skirt. She didn't payed attention to the yokai scolding the little girl. However, her senses had been reactivated as soon as she listened the sound of a familiar voice. So, Anna lifted her gaze to contemplate the person saying:
"Jaken" He emerged through the colorful flowers, in slow, elegant steps he was coming close. Many petals were floating with the wind, and so was his silver long hair. The sun was setting behind his silhouette, and even that huge star's shine was being obliterate by his precious aurum eyes, so luminous, and yet so freezing cold.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin's smile got wider and brighter.
"Lord Sesshomaru, I have warned Rin to keep close, but she just wouldn't listen!" The little vassal trembled while explaining.
The daiyokai, however, has completely ignored his servant appealing and just ceased his parade when he was in front of the woman sitting between the flowers. There, his aurum gaze got stuck on that fragile and cornered creature, immobile over the grass.
He is going to kill me. That was all she was able to think. He is going to kill me!
To be continued...
