"I can sense Naraku's scent, he has been here freshly, I know it!" Inuyasha's sensitive nostrils were frantically agitating while he smelled every corner of that abandoned hut.
"But what would he be doing in such a place?" Miroku asked, gasping after climbing the precipitous trail that leaded to a wooden cabin on the hill. His hand rested by the door frame, while his gaze rolled upon the scenery, even a human like him could smell something nasty.
"It's not only Naraku's scent though" Inuyasha concluded with a frown of disgust "Anna has been here as well".
At the moment, the monk was there inside, standing in front female clothes dropped on the floor.
"Annabelle?" Kagome appeared with Sango and Shippo, the trio riding Kirara.
"And can you tell if they are close?" Sango anxiously asked the Inuhanyo, that has already left that tiny house and was by it's entrance.
"Would it be possible that she decided to stay with Naraku?" The girl from the future wondered and got anguished "Or maybe he did something to her" She couldn't guess which option would be the worst.
"Naraku must have kidnapped Anna-hime! That's the only answer!" Shippo said convictly.
"I don't think Naraku has taken her by force" Miroku left the hut's interior, bringing the white and blue kimono in one arm. He gave it to his hanyo friend, so Inuyasha immediately smelled the fabric. Between the deep scent of Naraku, it had also a vestige of his older brother's odor.
"Gross!" The doggy's ears shook and then his head did the same. Inuyasha threw the garment into the distance and gave his back to that place. "Let's get out of here!"
"Inuyasha, what is wrong?" Kagome jumped off Kirara and ran after him "Why are you so nervous?"
"Frankly speaking, I will never understand what that woman has in her mind!" He spat, annoyed.
"Hey, Houshi-sama" Although Sango was still angry with the monk for his flirting with some girls in the last village they passed by, her curiosity was stronger then her pride. "What is going on?" She asked in a low tone, discretely.
"It looks like Naraku and Anna-hime has been doing something I miss very much to do" He gazed at her with a singular sparkle in his eyes. Sango blushed from her head to toe and just hit the Hiraikotsu's apex on the top of his head.
"You're unbelievable, monk!" The Demon Slayer landed with Kirara and walked fast inside that hut. He will continue the journey by foot, pervert! She cursed in thoughts, yet soon her brownish pools got stuck into some rags left in one shadowy corner of the chamber. Sango got them and went to her friends outside. There, the group were silently staring at the same direction, attentive on slow footsteps sounding upon dead leaves. Soon an elegant, charming daiyokai was in front of them, his aurum eyes fixated on the kimono left upon the dirt.
"Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha rested one hand over Tetsusaiga's handle.
Ignoring his younger brother's hysterical attack, he quietly leaned down and held the kimono he had given to Annabelle. After smelling properly the fabric, Sesshomaru hummed and stood up, then he turned his back to that people and began to walk away. His silhouette at last vanished between trees and shrubs.
"Alright, that was really weird!" Shippo said, still petrified in fear.
Sango noticed the red details on Sesshomaru's garment before he leaves, and she compared them to the ones on the pieces of fabric into her hands, soon she has been certain that both were made by the very same material. Her eyes blinked confused while she was showing that rags to the other girl.
Kagome analyzed that cloths, then eyed the path Sesshomaru has followed and felt in him a sort of change, yet she couldn't explain exactly what should it be. Both she and the others still weren't aware that the Lord of the Western Lands had sheltered a human child.

Holding a sleeping Annabelle within his arms, Naraku kept looking at her nuances. There was something missing in her features, it could be a simple detail on her lips' curves, or in the faded color of her cheeks. He has been arduously trying to unveil what should be such missing piece, which part of her has been gone, and as the hours passed by, more frustrated he felt, drowning in an ocean of doubts. A discomfort revolved inside his belly, almost unbearable. Without any apparent reason, memories began to torment him. The hanyo came back to that cave where a woman offered a sparkle of peace and tenderness to a creature born from chaos. He remembered the way she used to smile, the light of fondness into her eyes when by her side there was Kagewaki. That kind of pain was new, not a bit similar to Onigumo's hatred for Inuyasha and Kikyo's bonds. It was visceral, and had a weight he couldn't measure.
Naraku closed his eyes, hoping to succeed on concentrating his attention on anything but that particular matter, his arms tightened the grip around Anna while his chin rested on the top of her head. Bit by bit, the hanyo was calming down and in one of that rare moments he had mentioned to her, he fell asleep and dreamed...

"You?" Naraku noticed another presence beyond him into a strange, dense purple mist. It was a man wearing clear clothes, shinning in the middle of the darkness and the sharpen cold.
The arachnid's mirror, once serene and benevolent, now had in his semblance features of bitterness and lethargy. He didn't even looked like the same lad he once has been, but just a shadow of a spectrum.
"Kagewaki Hitomi, did you decide to leave her alone this night to torment me instead?" Naraku chuckled "So it is true that your soul is locked inside Shikon no Tama".
"Laugh while you can, soon it will be your soul cloistered in here as well" the late apathetic young master said.
"What do you want from me? Did you come here to intimidate me to leave Annabelle alone? Give up, Kagewaki. There is nothing you can do." He mocked. "You are dead".
"Yes, I am. And for this very reason you cannot get rid of me" Hitomi gave two steps closer. "You cannot make me simply disappear to you achieve what you want, and I know everything Naraku. The gemstone has shown me".
"Oh, really?" He kept his cynical behavior, smirking at that ghost. "What could the jewel possible show to an errand and moribund spirit such as you?"
"You have infiltrated the castle, stole my appearance and disgraced my family because you wanted Annabelle to yourself. For a selfish reason, you took my life and the most ironic of all is that, even you causing so much damage, still you did not get what you longed for, and never will". Before Naraku could respond, Kagewaki raised his voice a bit."No, you are aware I am not talking about becoming a complete yokai, this is nothing but an excuse. You want from Annabelle what I once had. Her heart".
The hanyo's crimson eyes widened and soon he started to laugh. "Your behavior just prove me how you always have been a ridiculous ordinary being, Kagewaki. The young master which goodness was his most special quality now dedicates himself on tormenting a woman's dreams, because he cannot accept she is moving on. Your benevolence, as the most of other humans', is only a façade and nothing more. Now, after death, you show your true miserable essence. I am pretty much alive, Kagewaki, while you are just a dying memory that soon will fade away. Accept your fate".
"Why do you think Anaberu does not resist your charm?" Hitomi didn't faltered. "If you didn't look like me, do you believe she would feel so attracted to you? If you didn't have put that shard inside her, do you believe Anaberu would give in to you so easily? I may be miserable, Naraku, but I am certainly not as delusional as you are. Anaberu Rosu loved me, and if she is laying with you right now, it is because she sees through your physical features a remembrance of me. No one would ever be able to love a monster like you, Naraku. You are worthy of pity".
Pity? Oh, how he hated that word! The spider remembered in bitterness when Annabelle tried to kill him with a mysterious dagger and gave up because she pitied him. If he said Kagewaki's words weren't affecting him, Naraku would be lying to himself.
Once again, that invisible pain within his abdomen was making him mad, like an incandescent blade tearing him from inside. His dark curled locks waved in the air as soon as his miasma emanated vigorously. The dead young master smirked victorious, for that dark cloud passed through him without leaving a single mark.
"You cannot kill what is already dead" The lad reminded him of his impotence. "I will not let you disgrace Anaberu's life, that is all you know to do. Wherever you put your feet on, the damage comes along. The only thing you value is your own greed. This is you. However, Naraku, one day your soul shall be locked in this Limbo together with mine and all the others, that will be the moment when we will fight against each other and I will get my revenge".
"It is you who doesn't let her go on". He realized.
"If she really wanted to erase me from her life, she would have done it already. This is a battle you cannot win".
