The rage of the storm beat on the gloomy castle, the shingles rattling, the doors jittering and the structure moaning, all trying to survive in the whirlwind conflict between nature and the miasma surrounding the castle. In its depths two shadows whispered quietly, only being heard by each others sensitive demonic hearing.

 

“Are you sure this will work Master Naraku? We're running out of time, Sesshomaru continues to strengthen his hold over this country and if you are not bound to him soon, I fear that the North will fall to his tirade.”

 

The lord curved up his lip in what could only be thought of as a satisfied sadistic smile, his red eyes glancing over his partner while his lengthy black ventricles of hair moved about him like snakes with lives of their own. “Do you doubt me Kanna? Or perhaps you fear what your sister will do to you if she finds out that you have recruited me a replacement.”

 

The void known as Kanna only ducked her pale face lower into her chest, clutching the mirror in front of her as her anchor to her sanity. Taking her response as defeat Naraku approached the doors that would lead him to the key to the destruction of Sesshomaru. Sliding one door carefully open he heard the automatic whimper of the small girl huddled in the corner of the room. The kimono she wore covered less than a potato sack, even those rags were in terrible condition, her hair matted to her head in several places and her pale arms and legs were covered in purple bruises, scars and new lacerations for disobedience.

 

“My Lord, must you go to her tonight? She has not had the chance to rest since she arrived and we must send her to Sesshomaru soon. He will be tempted by her if she is suffocated in your scent.” She spoke quietly, slowly, as if expecting a whip to materialize itself and attack her.

 

His clammy pale hand reached under her chin forcing her to look into his red gaze, “Kanna, do not be jealous, I will be in your company tonight as well.” She shivered at his evil words knowing full well that he intended to keep his disgusting promise. She slowly pulled away, trying to not anger him as she walked away to her room. The ten year old pulled her arms closer to her body with her head down. `I know that I do not believe in higher gods, but if you do exist, please help this young girl survive another night. Please……… stay with Rin.'

Hate me? Want to flame me? Okay! No problem, because if you read the authors note at the beginning, and read the warnings I've constantly put up, and you still feel the urge to yell at me go right ahead. I'm not writing this story for reviews.
