Everywhere she looked there was nothing but smoke. She could feel the immense heat from the flames working their way towards the back of the Shiro where she was.

She felt tears run down her cheeks watching as her home burnt to the ground around her. She was the Lady of her home.

Mae shook herself back to reality as she heard her newborn child crying in her arms.

She needed to find a way out and soon. Otherwise both her and her baby will perish.

Mae took off running through the halls towards the back of her home. Hoping to get out before the flames could cut her off.

She tried to sense her mates youki but he was nowhere nearby.

Finally, Mae found an opening in one of the walls that had crumbled down. Jumping through she covered her little girl with her arm.

Landing roughly on her feet she took off without looking back making her way to the tree line.

There was a sense of danger in the air still. As if someone was watching her every move.

Mae gasped fighting the urge to stop and look back. She felt the pull of mates aura trying to find her.

It was if there was an extreme sense of panic coming from him.

Stopping near a small brook Mae turned her head and fell to her knees. Everything was engulfed in flames. She could hear the screams from the people who didn't make it out.

It seemed like hours as she watched the horror of people walking out burning alive. Everything was intensified as she felt helpless.

Looking down at her daughter Mae ran her free hand through her midnight black-blue hair. Hearing the little one coo at her she had a bittersweet smile grace her small heart-shaped face.

"My dear little butterfly, sweet Kagome. I wish you wouldn't have had to deal with these horrors so soon." Wiping her tears away Mae went to stand so she could start making the trip to her father's home.

It was the only safe haven that she knew of where no one would find her or Kagome.

Turning away from the ever-growing flames and death she started to walk away.

Suddenly there was a humongous release of youki coming from the destroyed Shiro.

Falling back to her knees Mae wanted to cry as her dear Kimo's aura burst throughout the area.

She felt his feelings of loss and desperation and knew that he thought them to be dead.

Mae could only try to watch for him as she rocked Kagome to sleep.

As the shadows played tricks with the dancing fires there was a larger shadow that appeared.

Kimo stood over his once pristine home. Now nothing more than a burning pile of rubble.

Swinging his head around he kept looking for his mate and kit. He didn't want to believe that they hadn't made it out of the fire.

Transforming he suddenly loomed over the area. Scaring some of the onnas and other demons seeing their lord in his true form.

His appearance was emphasized by the flames dancing around him. Making his red fur coat look as if it were blood.

His ruby red eyes scanned the area, his aura pulsing out. You could feel the panic, sorrow, and loss slowly taking over.

Hanging his giant head down he all but gave up. His beast was just barely being controlled as it pushed and tried to force its way out.

It wanted to go on a rampage, to avenge the death of their mate and child.

Letting one last wave of his aura out searching for his love through their mating mark. Kimo was at the last thread just before his beast broke through when he felt her. Taking off without any concerns about getting burnt he dashed through the rubble and jumped landing in the field behind her.

Transforming into his humanoid form he all but disappeared before engulfing them in his arms.

The servants and their other family members could hear the loud sobs of their mistress and lord.

Some were glad to hear the cries, knowing they were alive. Others though were still in a state of shock.

Watching as the only home they had ever known was nothing but charred stone.

There was an immense sense of wrath seeping into the air. Making it hard to breathe and made everyone become as still as statues.

A lone figure walked out of the shadows with a black sword in hand.

Kimo glared at the newcomer and started growling. "Get the hell away out of my lands Seno. You don't belong here. We settled our problems long ago."

The man's chuckle sent shivers racing down everyone's spines. "That's what you think cat. You may have made a deal with Inutaisho and the other cardinal lords. I told you I would have my revenge."

Spinning around Seno grinned in malicious glee. "You took my love from me. My home, my family, and everything else as well, dear brother."

Kimo stood and brought his sword out at the ready. It was only a matter of time before he knew his brother would attack.

"But now I'll take all of it back. Once I defeat you, you'll be sent off to be tortured by the ones you wronged. You might think you have atoned for your sins. But you never will."

Seno glared at his brother, rage and hatred consumed him. Running forward he brought his sword up in an arc to unarm Kimo.

Kimo blocked him and nothing but the clang of the swords could be heard.

"Once you're gone I'll take Mae back. Kill that hideous thing you call a daughter and build a new home."

Mae gasped holding her daughter tighter to her chest. Getting up she looked to Kimo with sorrow crossing her features.

"Mae, get out of here. Go somewhere safe. I'll come find you."

She wanted to object. She didn't want to leave him. If she didn't leave she would lose both Kimo and Kagome.

Standing Mae nodded her head as she started chanting a spell under her breath. First making everyone else disappear.

"I hope you die and rot in hell Seno. Kimo I love you, don't die."

Mae closed her eyes as she disappeared with Kagome. All she heard was the angry screams of Seno as he started attacking Kimo in a frenzy.

She wasn't sure where she had appeared at but she was in a clearing with a well that was oddly in the middle of it.

Turning towards the sounds of shuffling feet she guessed she was near a human village.

Looking out towards the horizon she could see the black clouds from the fire still rolling up into the sky.

"You seem to be far from home miss. What brings you here?" Turning swiftly Mae's eyes widened.

"I am. My home was ransacked and burned to the ground. I am the Southern Lady Mae."

The elderly looking woman nodded her head and seemed to have a smile cross her face briefly.

"Your child will have a long and hard life if she stays here now. If you wish to escape and have a better life for both of you. Ye need to leave through that well now."

Mae looked at the woman as if she had grown a second head. "How does going through that well.."

"That well will be the basis for problems for a lot of people throughout the years. Especially for one of my own family and an idiotic jewel. But it will be your only safe chance of living. Even now I feel an evil presence coming this way."

She couldn't think straight, this last turn of events was too much. Her mind was already over-thinking and over-loaded from the attacks and fire.

Mae didn't want to believe that jumping into a well would take her somewhere safe. But she knew the elderly woman wasn't lying.

She just didn't want to leave and risk never seeing Kimo again.

Mae knew he had deceived many when he was younger. Always attacking and taking what wasn't his. She went through the struggles and heartache of him always leaving. Never knowing if he would come back.

But she knew this was the start of his downfall. She knew karma had a way of turning around and quite literally bitting you in the ass.

Coming out of her thoughts she heard the elderly woman leaving.

"The last I will say to ye is this. Your daughter's fate was foretold as a legend millions of years before it would happen. She will go through many struggles and have to right the wrongs your mate did. She will be the reason for everything to be healed. But only if she finds her soulmate. Otherwise, the future will be left in ruins forever."

Nodding her head one last time Mae turned away from the elderly woman and walked until she stood right beside the well. Looking to the south Mae lifted her head to the sky and let out a howl laced with sadness.

Jumping to balance on the lip of the well she turned as she felt Seno's aura rushing closer.

With one final tear slipping from her eyes she jumped into the well holding tightly onto Kagome.

The last thing she heard before being engulfed in a brilliant light of different blues was the sadden reply of her love.

She blacked out as the well transported her to a different time. To be found later on that same day by a kindly woman, her husband, and the woman's father. With streaks of tears on her cheeks as she's curled around Kagome protectively.
