Author's note: Hey guys! Chapter 21 here! First, I can't believe the increasing number of people reviewing each chapter! Thanks guys! Second, you guys seemed to be confused on why Sesshomaru wouldn't be affected by the poison. Here is the reason. In Inuyasha, Sesshomaru is immune to poison and disease. I don't know how, he just is. I think I might have 30+ chapters to this story. Maybe even 40. Who knows? Anyways, I almost done with my novel. If you guys want, I can give you the summary I have already written for it. I really need some support from my readers. I am nervous about publishing it and would like to know if you would read it if I did publish it. Anyways, enjoy!

Koga

Inuyasha and Koga had ran as fast as they could out of the building filled with miasma. The girls had fainted moments after being exposed to it.

"Inuyasha! Where is the exit?" Koga yelled.

"How the hell should I know? Stop talking and focus on getting out of here!" Inuyasha yelled back. He had a point. About stop talking that is. The more they talked the more the miasma had a chance to get inside their bodies. Sesshomaru and Ashley had disappeared as soon as he could pick her up.

"Hey! I got an idea! Hold Haley for a sec!" Inuyasha said. Koga stopped running and Inuyasha put Haley on Koga's back. Koga leaned forward so Haley wouldn't fall off.

Inuyasha unsheithed his sword and used an attack on a wall.

"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha yelled. A moment later the wall fell down and Koga could tell the building was going to collasped any minute.

"Hurry up and take Haley, mutt face! We need to get out of here and fast!" Koga yelled. Inuyasha nodded and sheithed his sword. He then picked Haley up and the two of them jumped out just in time. Koga looked back while he was in midair to see the floor above them collapse on the spot they were on just a second ago.

He felt Allie stir a little. He looked down at her to see her eyes opening a little.

"K-Koga?" she said. Then she couphed.

"Shh. Everything is alright. Just take it easy," Koga said to Allie. She nodded and closed her eyes.

"How is Haley?" he asked Inuyasha.

"Not too good. I think she took in too much miasma. We need to get Mioga to take care of her right away. Same to Allie," Inuyasha said. They landed and ran to where Kagome and her friends were.

"Oh, there they are!" she said when she saw them coming.

"Kagome! Is Mioga there?" Inuyasha yelled. Kagome nodded.

They put the girls down when they got to the group.

"Mioga, can you take the miasma out of Allie and Haley?" Koga asked the flea.

"If you give me a little time, then yes. Shippou! I am going to need you to go get the supplies!" Mioga said. First to Koga, then to the little fox. The tike nodded and ran off.

"What sort of supplies do you need? Maybe I can help?" Koga offered.

"If you can get to Shippou, he will tell you," the flea said. Koga nodded and ran off to find the pup.

After a minute he found him.

"Hey, Shippou!" Koga yelled. The little fox turned around.

"Oh, hey Koga! What's up?"

"Mioga told me to come find you and get the supplies!" Koga said.

"Oh, okay! Well, we need small demons! Once they are dead, then we need to quickly bring them to Mioga before their blood gets cold!" Shippou said. Koga nodded and began searching.

He really hoped that those two could survive until he got back. He had grown a liking to them. Especially Haley. He wasn't kidding when he told Inuyasha to stay away from her. Koga liked her almost as much as he liked Kagome. He wouldn't give up on either of them though.

Just stay alive! If you two can do that, then I promise I will never put you two in harm's way again! Especially you, Allie! If Naraku had somehow gotten you pregnant, well, I will find a way to get you unpregnant! Koga blushed a little as he thought this.

Then he thought about what he said to Haley to get her to look.

How could he say something like that when he had already said that Kagome was the only woman for him? Had he grown to love the dog demon? If he did, exaclty how deep was his love? And what about Allie? What did he feel towards her? Was she like a sister? Or something else?

"Gah! This is too complicated!" Koga yelled.

"What's too complicated?" Shippou asked. Koga was startled. Had he said that outloud?

"Did I say that out loud?" Koga asked. Shippou nodded. "Oh, then nothing. Don't worry about it. Just something adults have to deal with."

"Okay!" Shippou smiled. "Come on! We have to go before these fellas get cold!" he ran off back to the village. Koga nodded and followed him.

Sesshomaru

Sesshomaru was very worried about Ashley. She had inhaled a lot of the miasma when she had fought Allie. During that battle, Naraku somehow seemed to slip by Sesshomaru, Koga, and Inuyasha and hit Ashley a few times. Sesshomaru didn't notice until now, and back then Ashley probably didn't even notice either. But they both definetely did now. Ashley had fainted an hour ago and Sesshomaru saw her turning paler and paler by the minute.

You would think that since she became his mate, again, that she would devolp some immunity to poison. But apparently things don't work out that way.

He just hoped that he would get to his mother's castle before Ashley died. If she died again, then he wouldn't be able to bring her back. And he wouldn't live his life without her. He wouldn't.

"Hang in there, Ashley!" Sesshomaru whispered to her. He felt her stir a little. He looked down to see her eyes opened.

"I will try, but I make no promises," Ashley whispered as she couphed violently. Sesshomaru increased his speed.

After a few more minutes, they arrived.

"Ashley, we are here," Sesshomaru whispered.

"Thank god," she whispered back.

"Sesshomaru, what brings you here?" Sesshomaru's mother asked. He looked up to see her sitting on her throne with a servant fanning her.

"Several things, Mother. The first, my mate is in trouble. If you don't help her, then she will most certainly die," Sesshomaru told his mother.

"Then let her die. You can always bring her back with the Tenseiga," she said. Ashley couphed again.

"That is not an option. She has already died once, so I would not be able to bring her back again," Sesshomaru said.

"I see. Then bring her up here," his mother commanded. Sesshomaru nodded and brought Ashley up to his mother. He layed Ashley right at his mother's feet. She got up and kneeled next to Ashley.

"She is in much trouble and pain. I cannot garentee that she will survive once I give her medicine," she said. She glanced back at Sesshomaru and he nodded. She called forth a servant and they gave her a bottle she requested.

"Give her this. In 48 hours, the poison shall exit her body and she will be fine. I warn you though. This will be a very painful process for her. You are to not give her anything but this. Give her a drop every two hours. At the end, the poison will exit violently. Do you understand?" she said. Ashley couphed more violently.

Sesshomaru nodded. His mother gave him the bottle and picked up Ashley. She carried her inside and Sesshomaru followed.

"You know, this girl is very lucky I like her. Otherwise I would have told you to forget her," his mother said.

"Yes Mother. Thank you very much," he thanked her. She nodded and placed Ashley on a guest bed. One of the more royal ones.
