Please review, good or bad. I won't update till I get at least 2 reviews. Here goes nothing.............

The Chase

She ran.

'He's really done it this time.' She spread her miko powers out behind her, he was gaining on her. 'I'll have to use the subjugation beads again, but they're weakening.' She felt extremely worried at that prospect. 'If they break, I have nothing else to use! I have to think of someplace were I can hide. Someplace were I can live out my life without him finding me.' One thought popped into her head. I have no choice, it's the only place. 'What's the worst he can do? Kill me? I'm already facing that…' With a grimace she changed directions, heading west.


He felt a tingle on the back of his neck and quickly sent his youki out to sense what was going on at his border.

'That aura… I've felt it before. Where?' He quickly switched directions heading for the aura. Realization dawned swiftly replaced with agitation. 'What could the miko want?' Naraku was destroyed and their alliance had ended with his defeat. 'And where was her hanyou pet?' Something was not right.

He summoned his cloud to make his traveling faster.


She had just past the border when she felt his aura getting closer. 'Just a little longer.'

The question was would he be the death of her or would he let her live? 'He'll probably kill me without even thinking about my request. Oh well. It's better to let him do it if he so choose, it would be quick if he did it.'

The miko came to a small clearing and stopped to wait, she'd felt the hanyou give up the chase at the border. 'I was right; he won't come into his brother's lands unless it's a last resort. Let's just hope he never comes.' With a sigh the miko fell to her knees to wait.

She didn't have long to wait. Just before she felt his aura get to the clearing she stood up. The proud taiyoukai gracefully walked out into the clearing. His silver hair glinting in the sunlight and his white kimono almost too bright to look at with the bright sun beating down on it.

'Here goes nothing…'
