"Miu for Shippō," Miroku asked the man. Miroku looked at him with hatred emitting from his very soul. The man that stood before him…

"Hell no, Naraku as if we'd give into anything that you want," InuYasha spat holding onto me tightly as I just watched on. I caused all of this… This was all my fault, I even got poor little Shippō involved.

The man's voice that I have been hearing all this time, who has haunted my dreams, and has tortured the very depth of my soul, was the same man who has done all those atrocious things to my friends… How can a person… demon be so full of hatred?

I just can't wrap my head around it… of all things, why did he have to ruin my life? What relation do I have with him, and where is my mother?

"Naraku," I looked at the man whose voice has plagued my head. I repeated his name over and over in my head…

It finally clicked, the wind demoness, she had come to check out my strength. "I figured you'd say that," he smirked as he held Shippō up by the tail. "I'll give you some time to think about it," Demons materialized instantaneously behind him in thick miasma. Within seconds the demon Naraku and Shippō had disappeared…

"You guys should have let me go," I uttered quietly, my tears welling back up in my green eyes. InuYasha just looked down at me and shook his head.

"We'll get him back," Miroku reassured me. I looked around; everyone had a look of determination mixed with excessive hatred.

I nodded my head as I jumped quickly out of InuYasha's strong arms. We looked at the fog of demons that were grinning at the chance to tear us to pieces. I growled as I grabbed my whip.

We all shared a look and nodded. I charged forward, my whip swinging wildly and catching as many demons as I could in my grasp before pulling tightly and slicing them up. Arrows flew through the air, as was Sango's hiraikotsu.

I heard InuYasha swinging his sword around and taking out many demons, and Miroku finished them up by using his wind tunnel.

The weaklings really had no chance. Within minutes we had completely obliterated them. This Naraku man didn't even try to hide his stench. It was strange, before when I smelled it, I would go into a frenzy and kill anything in sight, but this time something was different, I just couldn't place it.

We had made our way deeper into the mountains, there was a force field, it was large in diameter and fried anything that touched it… except for me.

A voice rang out, "Will you give the bitch for the child?"

"Hell no," InuYasha shouted as he stepped in front of me, and the rest stood around me. I can take care of myself; they shouldn't try saving me…

"InuYasha…" I tug lightly on his sleeve, "Just let me go…"

"No," Sango, Miroku, InuYasha, and Kagome yelled simultaneously. I pinned my ears down. Can't they just worry about Shippō? He is only a child!

[i]Miu, Miu where are you?[/i] I stop dead in my tracks as we are circling the force field again. [i]Miu, can you hear me? Please I need you Miu![/i] My mother's voice rings in my head.

[i]I told you I had her.[/i] Naraku chuckles in my head.

"Miu," Kagome grabs my shoulders and shakes me slightly. I stare back at her with a blank look in my now dull green eyes.

"What's wrong," InuYasha turned around and came and looked at me. I started to growl, my fur standing on end and my eyes changing to a blood red color.

"Miu," Kagome waves her hand in front of my face. Everyone as circled around me to see what I was going to do. I grabbed her wrist as my eyes finally became focused. "Ouch, Miu that hurts!" She yelps. InuYasha grabs my hands and forces me to look up at him.

"Snap out of it!" He yells, holding my hands.

"I'm going to rip him to shreds…" I say through gritted teeth. "Move," I order as I easily pull my hands back. I reach towards the barrier that was keeping everyone out. "Fucking useless," I growl as I break it easily.

Kagome is still rubbing her wrist as everyone looks on; I walk forward my whip held out by my side. I grinded my teeth together, the barrier started to form behind me so everyone rushed in after me, staying close but not getting ahead of me.

"What's wrong with her?" Kouga whispers quietly, but still causing my ears to twitch. It was taking all of my strength to fight back my murderous ache.

"I don't know… her scent has changed," InuYasha replied, not taking his eyes off of me just in case something out of the ordinary… well more out of the ordinary then what's already going on, happens.

I dig my claws in my free hand as we continue to walk. It felt like forever… I could feel the blood running down my fingers, the urge to just start killing things; anything was becoming strong and started to ache in my stomach. "You guys should leave, now."

"We aren't leaving you!" Sango shook her head, her eye brows furrowed together as if it was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard.

"Follow at your own risk then, I make no promises," I seethed coldly while growling back at them. I don't know what had my blood boiling, but it was getting hard to focus.

We finally reached Naraku's fortress.

"So what is your answer?" Naraku appears in one of the door ways.

"Die," I yell as I lunge forward, lashing my whip towards him.

[i]Stop![/i] My whip fell loosely around Naraku as I dropped it while stopping suddenly.

"Very good answer," Naraku chuckles; my vision goes black and that's all I remember.

Standing there motionlessly, Naraku wraps his arms around me. "Don't touch her," InuYasha runs forward, his sword out aimed toward Naraku.

InuYasha is shocked as GinekiHenshin blocks his attack and pushed him back. He looks over at me, but I am just standing there, the life gone from my eyes. Naraku smirks as his arms tighten around me. "I have what I came for."

Miroku holds at his hand, then the hells wasp appear, flying everywhere. "Miroku, if you do that you'll suck in Miu, too!" Kagome says, grabbing onto his arm.

"Oh yes, the brat, he's in this place somewhere, I hope you find him before my demons do. They are dreadfully hungry." Naraku says, rising in the air as we begin to disappear. A single tear slides down my cheek as Shippō's name escapes hoarsely from my mouth.

InuYasha yells loudly as he watches Miu and Naraku disappearing. He jumps forward and trys another attack. Yet again, the GinekiHenshin blocks it. "Naraku," He screams loudly. Within seconds Miu and Naraku are gone.

"InuYasha…" Kagome walks to him and sets her hand on his shoulder supportively.

"I will get her back." InuYasha grinds his teeth together. "You can't go alone." Kagome shakes her head defiantly.

"I'll go with you," Miroku steps forward. "Sango, Kagome, and Kouga you three go find Shippō, and we will rescue Miu."

"Ok, you guys be careful. Take Kirara with you." Sango looks at them and Kirara transforms and Miroku climbs on her back.

"Be careful," Kagome warns, worry stricken.

InuYasha dashes off, following what scent was left behind, if he didn't hurry all traces of Miu and Naraku would be gone.
