His nose was driving him insane, no matter what path he smelled her scent it leads to one place than another. Sesshomaru felt his beast, ready to break lose and transform himself, but he didn't, he touch his crescent moon mark on his forehead, before hearing his beast growling in anger.

"Why do you control me with that damn mark? I hate it when you do that!"

"Because, this Sesshomaru is not letting you out. I feel Rin is still alive."

"Once I see him, I will break out of this cage, Sesshomaru. Do you hear me?"

"Perfectly." he closed his eyes, smelling the air once more. "Rin…" he opened his eyes, before using his demonic speed, chasing her scent.

With Kagome back in Rin's room, she felt a strong demonic aura that was once in this room. She walked over to the bed, touching the sheets where she was last scene. Remembering her, she felt the frighten and scared little girl in her head, calling out Sesshomaru to help her. She closed her eyes, picturing what has happened. Her miko powers started swirling around her, glowing a light pink light. Kagome opened her eyes, shining through her eyes, watching the scene replay itself. She didn't know she could do this, she was frighten and scared for not knowing of its power. Darkness filled the room, seeing only a brief light showing, Rin with the demon. Kagome saw how scared Rin was, being held by the demon that took her. The his demonic aura, caused her to widen her eyes, before disappearing. She jolted up from her spot, rubbing her eyes, she knew where she was. It has to be, but she couldn't leave.

"I promise Sesshomaru, I wouldn't leave the castle…" Kagome had to trust me, she just hopes he gets her in time. She turned to leave Rin's room, she didn't bother looking into her sons room, he was there, but still sleeping. Kirara was protecting him. She sigh to herself, heading to the bathing chamber letting her thoughts swim across her mind.

Light shine throughout the western lands, a woman looked over beyond the mountain. She knew, yet never showed any expression. The light that touch her skin, she widen her eyes.

"Kagome…" it couldn't be, she was sent away, never to return. She reached for her hood, pulling it down, letting her raven black hair, swing off the sides, her hazel eyes dazzled before closing them. "Have you return?" She was afraid of seeing her again, with her mate gone, what else was she suppose to do? Once the light was gone, she opened her eyes, placing her hood over her head, before running. "I must see this for myself."

Reaching the gates, she jumped over the wall. Climbing the vines that were attached to the wall, she needed to see if it was true. Seeing a balcony, she looked in seeing it was a child's room, she saw another, before continuing her climbing. Once reached, she looked back at the moon, before setting her feet softly on the ground. It was a full moon, she remembered it so well, the day she lost her family.

"I will not let you have her." sending another bow at the demon, he felt such pain, running through his skull, he attacked her with his claw. Slicing her stomach, she cried out in pain, before resting her hand on her stomach. Feeling the blood, leaking out. She cursed herself, before sending her miko powers flying at the demon. She missed, but not much.

"My my, Sakura. You have grown weak have you." she hissed at him, before he reached his hand out to her, she punched him, before he flinched. Sakura wasn't quick enough, she felt her body being lifted in the air, choking her, she could barely see nor speak. "Where is she? Where is the child?"

"I ..will..never…tell..you." she spitted in his face, before slamming her against the wall. She was indeed, losing too much blood. Her vision was fading, no she needed to live.

"Step away from my mate!" the demon turned, looking at the lord. His eyes glowing red, feeling his whole body ready to transform himself.

"Or what?" he let go of her, Sakura breath in some air, before resting her powers, healing herself the best that she could. The demon, revealed himself, such a powerful one, a panther no less. His fangs sharpen, claws ready to strike, the lord. Riko had other ideas.

"I will kill you, for what you did to my lands! AND MY FAMILY!" Riko charged at the panther demon, the demon moved, before slashing his claws back at the lord. Sakura placed her hands together, speaking in foreign language, bright lights began shining through the air. The panther demon, arched his back, feeling his body being ripped in two.

"NO, WENCH!"

"You will never be who you are. Prison yourself in a whole of hate." she cursed at him, before Riko gave the final blow. The demon caught his wrists, poison leaking out of his claws digging into them, Riko slashed his claw against the demons chest, letting go, he started chuckling. Riko, kneeled down feeling his body shaking.

"Riko, no!" Sakura rushed over to him, seeing his breath shaking, she could barely hear him.

"Mama, Father where are you?" the demon grinned, before letting his prey attack the young child. Riko looked up seeing his daughter in the hands of the monster.

"NO!" he got up, before his mate, stopped him.

"Riko, you are in pain-"

"He will not have her." his eyes glowed red, before howling winds began picking up, swirling around the lord. He attacked the demon that held his daughter, Sakura reached for her bow and arrow, striking down the demon, letting go it hit the mark. The demon cried out in pain, before letting go of the child. Sakura stayed by her mate, while her daughter, pleading for him to be safe. "GO!" he saw Toga. Nodding his head, he took the child, running far away from the once panther demon.

"NO, SHE CANNOT ESCAPE!" before using his demonic speed, Sakura reached for another arrow, before striking the demon.

"You will never lay a hand on her! EVER!" he pulled the arrow out of his chest, he rushed to her, grabbing her neck, choking her once more.

"Such a shame you will never see your daughter again. I will find her, even if I have to wait. Say hello to your mate for me, I'm sure he is dying to see you." hissing at her, before chuckling. Riko looked over, before using the last of his energy. He separated the demon from his mate, pushing him. Grabbing a hold of him, he flew in the air, black clouds began to engulf around them.

"RIKO NO!" she pleaded to her mate, he heard her, but he needed to do this.

"Forgive me, Sakura." with that he was gone. Sakura saw the bright light, she didn't feel his presence, tears began forming down her face, she had to run, hide.

She opened her eyes, its been almost 20 years since the demon over throne them. Sakura couldn't believe that he survive such a bright light. Letting her mind wonder, she saw her, she walked closer. Seeing her made her heart ache to hold her, looking at her face, this was her daughter, a human, a miko…

"Kagome…" she whispered, not waking her up. She brushed her fingers through Kagome's hair, letting it slip to the side. "How long I've missed you. You look so much like your father…if he were here to see this…" Kagome turned in her sleep, making Sakura flinched for a second. She noticed her shoulder, the faded crescent moon mark. "So he has remember, why else would you be in the western lands…." So many things to tell her and yet she couldn't. Not now for the least, she leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"My little girl, I am always with you." with that she left, before Kagome woke up. Slowly opening her eyes, she felt that someone was here. Looking around, she saw moon shine against her body. Letting her legs dropped on the floor, she change into her miko clothes. The feeling on them made her safe. Holding herself close, she walked out of the room, heading out into the garden. No demons were out, she would be safe. Down the stair and out the door, she felt the wind brush against her skin, she shivered. It was cold tonight, she didn't think she dressed warmer. Looking up at the moon, it was full, memories were flowing in her head, the day she left, leaving, gone. Her mind wasn't making this easier for her, she wanted to help, anything to see her mother again, to see her father, her family. Sitting down on the grass, letting her fingers slip through the flowers that were around her, she closed her eyes, remembering Sesshomaru and her when they were younger. She smiled to herself, opening them, she plucked the red camellia.

"Love….isn't that what you said, Sesshomaru?" she talked to herself, before plucking the white camellia. "And the meaning of waiting…" placing them together, she could of sworn it was a message. Combing the two flowers, she parted her lips, "Waiting Love… is this your message." she placed them on the ground. She didn't know why she did this, but she felt like she needed to do, nevertheless. Her thoughts were broke, hearing a twig snap. Kagome's eyes widen, "Shit the one time I needed my bow and arrows." she cursed at herself. Getting up as quickly as she can. Her feet were trapped, looking down roots were attaching her. Her mind screamed, her body was getting numb, she panic and struggle under its grasp. Hearing a small chuckle, she looked over, her vision was giving out. "Who..are you?" her eyes flutter, she couldn't see who it was, until she heard its voice.

"My lord would wish to see you." with that her body went limp. The demon took her and rushed into the forest.

She felt her senses tingling, this feeling inside her chest was breaking bit by bit. Looking over, seeing the cherry blossom petals flowing in the wind, she ran as fast as she could.

"Kagome…"

"Mama, please wake up! MAMA!" Kagome jolted up from her spot, she looked seeing Rin by her side, clutching on to her shirt. Kagome wrapped her arms around her small body, protecting her with her ability.

"Rin, your alive! I'm so glad." Rin looked up at her, hugging her tightly.

"Its was Lord Hitoshi, he has us."

"I knew he was trouble from the moment I laid my eyes on him."

"Indeed you are right, Kagome." her eyes traveled to her right. There in the flesh was the demon lord of the east. Lord Hitoshi.

"Let us go!" she hissed at him, before the barrier had a mind of its own. Shocking both Rin and Kagome, they screamed in pain, before their bodies leaned back against the barrier.

"Nice to see your still in that form." he chuckled, before reaching his hand out, through the barrier. It allowed him to get through, he pulled Kagome out, leaving Rin in the barrier. Rin struggled to keep her body up, her eyes widen.

"MAMA!" another shock went through her body as she screamed in pain once more.

"Leave her alone!" she tried using her miko powers on him, but alas they would work. "How.."

"I sealed your miko powers. Now you are just an ordinary human, unless you change." he licked his lips, before slamming Kagome against the wall, pressing his body against hers. He began to suck on her neck, tasting her sweet skin that he dream of tasting. Kagome held in her breath, before she kneed him in his jewels. He chuckled once more, pressing his body harder against her. "Very childish of you, Kagome. Didn't you lord teach you manners?" she growled at him, before he pressed his lips over her courting mark, licking it, caused her to scream, he covered her mouth with his free hand. Pain washed over her, his tongue infecting her mark, what was he doing?

"MMMHMH" she tried speaking, before he removed his hand, letting her speak. "What are you doing?" she cried out in pain, Hitoshi chuckled,

"I found a way for your demon form to come." the stinging sensation of her mark glowed, whatever he did, Kagome couldn't take it, her eyes changed to red, fangs began to sharpen, claws formed on her hands. Her eyes, were no longer human, pointy, her marks began showing, jagged blue stripe on his side of her cheek and finally her mark from her father, the cherry blossom. Her hair grew longer down to her waist, her eyes began to flutter before going unconscious underneath him. Hitoshi was pleased with the outcome, she finally change, now he can make her his. Licking the mark once more, he picked up Kagome, placing her back in the barrier with the human girl. Rin, looked at her mother, holding her hand tightly. Hitoshi just chuckled.

"How could you do this to her?!" Rin screamed at him, before he glared down on her.

"Her demon side was aching to be set free." he left, leaving Rin hugging her mother closely,

"Lord Sesshomaru, please hurry!" tears began falling down her face.

He stop in his footsteps, his beast howling inside, before Sesshomaru's eyes changed red.

"The mark, he licked the mark. Sesshomaru she's changed!"

"Kagome, he has her?!" his beast growled, before Sesshomaru used his demonic speed that was increased by the power invested in his beast.

"It seems so. Let me out Sesshomaru. He has harm our mate and child! LET ME OUT NOW!" hearing his beast roar, Sesshomaru didn't bother touching his mark. Wind was swirling around him, his eyes glowed bright, his face changing. For once in his life, he allowed his beast out of his cage. Running in his true form, he howled, hoping she heard him.

"I'm coming!"
