Wonderfully dark vision of Naraku. Sending Kanna to deliver his message about Kohaku is so appropriate since she is almost a blank slate. Naraku does not realize what Kikyou is doing with Kohaku until he absorbs Moryomaru. I loved Kikyou's comment to Kohaku at the end of Volume 41 " If IY had killed Moryomaru you could have been saved." She does have empathy for Kohaku even though she needs to use him to kill Naraku.
