Wind blew through my hair, as we began to feel Kasai slow down. "Are you tired?" I asked knowingly. "…A bit, mistress", I could tell he was out of breath. "Let's land by the river, you could use some water". He nodded, as we began our decent down.

Shippo awoke hours ago; I'm surprised that I wasn't slapped with questions about why we left. A part of me believed he already knew the reason. I hopped off Kasai's back, with Shippo in my arms, "Are you hungry?" I asked Shippo, he nodded holding his stomach.

I turned towards Kasai, and smirked when I saw him in his smaller form, splashing in the water. "Kasai", his ears perked up, and quickly landed in front of me. "Yes mistress?" I pet his head, as he leaned into my touch. "I'm going hunting; keep an eye out on Shippo?" I asked, not wanting to seem like I was forcing him to.

"Of course, come back safely Lady Kagome", he said as he began to play with Shippo. "Be good", I said to Shippo while he chased Kasai. I walked through the woods, thinking of where to get food. I walked slowly, taking in my alone time, until something began to pound inside me; as if it were clawing my insides. I stopped, and inhaled deeply, searching through myself.

I looked around as everything faded to black, "Where am I?" I questioned no one specifically. I jumped back when an Iron cage came into my view. A silver and black beast resided in it, Snarling rapidly; its large claws began slashing at the iron bars.

I walked closer to the cage, feeling oddly comfortable. "Kitsu..?" I looked into her bright red eyes. She growled, as steam exhausted from her mouth. "Free me!" her voice roared. "He's in trouble". "Who's in trouble?" I asked, trying to calm her. "MATE!"

I felt an aura pulse, as I came back to my senses. My feet began moving on its own, as I began running. I jumped from branch to branch, as if being pulled to the destination. I felt like a magnet. I quickly stopped running, as the smell of blood invaded my senses. I gasped in horror, as I saw Sesshomaru take the impact of one of Naraku's puppets.

'Why isn't he defending himself?' I wondered to myself. I then saw Rin, on the opposite side of him; crying while hitting the puppets legs. "Quiet wench!" it yelled while turning towards Rin, I reacted without thinking and ended up taking the hit meant for her. I landed on my butt beside her, and quickly erected a barrier around her.

I stood up, while spitting blood out of my mouth. I drew an arrow, and shot it directly at the puppet. Demons spewed out, and began to dissipate as they became purified. I turned towards Rin, and lifted my barrier as she ran towards Sesshomaru. I glanced at him, as he looked back at me with empty eyes.

"HELP HIM!" I could hear Kitsu scream. Her voice roared, and my head began to pulse. I walked towards him, and bent down over him. Rin held onto him, crying, begging me to help him. I placed my hand on his neck, and earned a growl. "Relax Sesshomaru". He grunted, as my hands began to illuminate blue.

His skin began stitching together, his wounds healing, and going back to its original state. I could feel his breathing pick up, as he inhaled hard. "Breathe out", I said trying to get any fluid out of his lungs. He did as I said, and began coughing. "Good…" I cooed, rubbing his back. "Miko, why are you here?" he asked out of nowhere.

I looked at him, and stared hard. "Are you kidding me?" He arched one of his eyebrows, and I stood up. "I just saved your life, and you ask why I am here?" He tilted his head at me, "Are you going to black mail this Sesshomaru" I turned around to take my leave, if I didn't I would've done something I'd regret.

I stopped as I felt two tiny hands wrap around my legs. "Thank you for saving Lord Sesshomaru, Kagome-Chan!" Rin said as she hugged me. I picked her up, while smiling at her. "No problem Rin-Chan", I said while holding her close to me. "Are you okay?" She nodded, "Lord Sesshomaru didn't let the bad demon get me!" I patted her on her head, as I sat her down.

I turned back to glance at him, and noticed he was gone. I turned to face forward, and almost jumped when I saw him in front of me. "Why are yo-.." I started, but stopped as he began to sniff me. I felt my face heat up, and faced my eyes away from him. "What are you?" his question caught me off guard.

"What do you mean?" I asked, "You smell of Demon; you are no longer human". I felt my head begin to pulse again, and began to feel faint.

I looked at her as her eyes began to change colors, from blue to a vibrant red color. 'Is she fighting her inner youkai?' Her eyes snapped shut, and I looked at her waiting, expecting. "Mate", her voice cooed. 'Why must everyone, throw themselves at me? ' I thought as my mind traveled back, to the endless amount of Demonness that tried to bed me.

I was brought out of my thought when, her fingers began tracing my cheeks; I fought back the urge to growl at her. She pouted, as she leaned in closer to me, "Do you hate me, Sesshomaru?" her voice was a bit raspy, I looked into her red dilated pupils, staring intently. "Where is Kagome?" Her hand touched my shoulder, "She'll be back later, Right now, I will fulfill her deepest fantasies". I looked at Rin, who looked nervous and uncomfortable.

"Could you go through with it?" I asked the demon, as I leaned my fore head against hers. "Do you want this Sesshomaru, that badly?" I smirked as I saw her eyes beginning, to flash again; as if struggling. I could see the fight for control, and knew she was winning. She opened her eyes, and glared at me.

"Why the hell would I want an arrogant Lord like you?" I sighed, knowing that she was back to herself. "Miko, what happened to you?" I asked not wanting to beat around the subject. I looked down, and grabbed her wrist, seeing an obscene hieroglyphic on it.

She looked at me, and all fell silent. "I'm gone, Sesshomaru". I wanted to question her, but she snatched her hand away from me. "Where is the Half-Breed?" I questioned as she turned around. "He's with his mate", was all she said as she walked away. I smelt salt, and realized that she was crying. 'Why should I care?' I questioned myself. "Because she is MATE". 'No she isn't, she is a human.' I started, 'What could this Sesshomaru do with a pathetic ninjen?". "She is Demonness… A Miko-Demonness". I felt myself walking towards her, as Jaken came into sight. I called for him an hour ago, and he is just now showing up.

I looked at him; giving him a look that threatened his eternal being. "If Rin is hurt, I'll feed you to a Bear-Demon. He nodded, stumbling over words as Rin giggled. I walked fast, sniffing out the Miko.

'This is just to repay my debt', repeated throughout my mind. I found her staring out at the river, on a ragged cliff; looking as if she was contemplating something. She walked closer to the edge, and before I could say anything she jumped.
