The Third Family
It's SPECIAL!
Look what's back! Personal responses! Everyone just said things I had to reply to seperately.
A.B.C.Otaku- Did I say I was graduating from 8th? Whoops. So much for keeping my age secret, but yes, YAY FOR NEW HIGHSCHOOLERS!
LiL.CaT.AnImE- Thank you! Don't you just love my cliffy?
Dragon Man 180- Something seems to be up with demons and asking for help. Inuyasha doesn't do it, Koga doesn't do it, Sesshoumaru doesn't do it... Naraku does, but he's retarded. Mikoto believes that he's strong enough to save his mate alone. And who knows, maybe he's right.
Lenipez sideshow- Thank you!
Heart of Friendship- Winds of Change is going to be updated? YAY!
Think About It- I got this as an email and I just had to put it up. There were 45 to begin with so I just put up the ones that worked the best.

Last Time: But finally something happened in the fight. Sen lashed out, her attack throwing Mikoto back towards me. I ran towards him. "Mikoto!" I screamed. I gasped as I saw a large red spot appearing on my mate's shirt.
This Time: "Mikoto!" I yelled, "Are you alright! Speak to me!"
"I'm alright." he groaned, sitting up.
"Are you sure?"
Mikoto gave me a small smile. "Don't worry about me." he told me, standing up, "I'll be fine. In an hour that wound will be gone. You know that. Besides, what I'm worried about right now is you. We've got to get you home.
"How touching." Sen said smirking. She lunged for me, sword in front of her. My mind worked quickly. I grabbed the sword between my two hands so that the sharp edges wouldn't hurt me to badly. From there I threw the sword, and Sen, across the room.
"You-you BITCH!" Sen screamed, "How dare you do that to me!"
I found myself behind Mikoto, his own sword in front of him. "Leave my mate alone." h"e growled, "If you don't. I swear, you'll die."
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
Sticking my head around Mikoto, I was surprised to see that his sword was glowing purple. Sen seemed to be just as surprised asme, not to mention a little scared. I didn't blame her.
"Tsume Yaseiarashii!" Mikoto yelled, swining his blade. I gasped as two silver shapes that almost looked like boomarangs (regualar sized, not like Sango's) went flying towards Sen. She ducked, attempting to avoid being hit, but the silver shapes followed her down. She screamed and in a flash of purple light, disappeared.
Mikoto turned to me. "You alright?" he asked.
"Fine." I replied.
"I don't believe you." he retorted, "I smell blood."
Sighing in defeat, I held up my hands, showing him the two cuts on each from grasping the sword. "They're not bad."I insisted.
My mate was already wiping the blood off of my hands with a piece of cloth. From there he ripped the cloth in two and tied one piece around each hand. "Better?" Mikoto asked, looking up from his work.
"Yeah, thanks."
"You're welcome." There was a moment of silence while we just stood there. FinallyMikoto spoke. "Ready to go?"
"Definitely." I replied, "Do you know the way out?"
My mate nodded. "You were actually pretty close to getting out." he admitted. "Follow me."
We walked. And walked. Andwalked.Finally we reached a set of stairs. By then I was exhausted. Walking around that long with such a large stomach is hard. My feet hurt!
"I thought you said I was close." I grumbled, "We've been walking for at least an hour!"
"We have." Mikoto agreed, "But look at this, you were close." He pulled out a piece of folded parchment. It turned out to be a map. "This is a map of the dungeons in the Southern castle." my mate told me, "This is where you were." He pointed to a spot relatively close to the edge of paper. "This is where we are now." He pointed to another spot at the very edge of the parchment. "This dungeon is huge."
"That's what it looks like." I agreed.
Mikoto helped me up the stairs. We arrived in a large room which was furnished very comfortably.
I opened my mouth to say something, only to be stopped by Mikoto putting a hand over my mouth. "Don't say anything." he whispered, "We've got to get out of here undetected."
I nodded and he took his hand off my mouth.
Only a few minutes later, we found ourselves outside the castle. Taoa was waiting for us there.
"I rode her here." Mikoto explained, "I hope you don't mind."
"Not at all." I replied hugging him, "Thank you so much. I was so scared! I didn't know what to do!" A tear dripped down my cheek.
"Don't worry about it." Mikoto replied, "You're my mate. It's my job to protect you. Now let's get onto Taoa. I think she's happy to see you."
And she was. The fire cat, even in her large form, was purring. When I walked over to her she rubbed her big head against my stomach affectionately. I giggled and climbed onto her back. Mikoto climbed on behind me. Then we took off.
