This is the shortest chapter I ever wrote… But oh well. I know I definitely have to check the grammar in this fanfic. I still working at typing this fanfiction. Skewl is almost over butI got to go to summer skewl... i failed US history and i am not going through history again next yearbecause I HATE HISTORY CLASS! I can't stand it! Ok For the next for chapters, i won't have titles because i am running low on them. if you have suggestions then i'll be gladly accept them. Ok... I'll stop talking now...

Chapter 45: Untitled for Now...

Sesshomaru continued his search with Fubuki. They searched non-stop for any clues of Sango, Naraku or Mouko. Fubuki stopped for a bit but Sesshomaru continued. His nose caught a familiar scent. Shida! He sped toward her. He saw he alone, standing there emotionlessly. "Shida!" He said as he closed his eyes. "Where is she!"

"With my master."

"You master will die. Tell Mouko that if he doesn't give her back, he'll die a slow and painful death." He withdrew his Elemental blade.

She didn't reply. She just sent an orb at him. He dodged it. Shida tried a binding spell but it failed. "So you know…" She murmured. "You found out…"

"Humph!" He ran toward at her. She teleported behind him but he slashed behind him. She dodged it but he managed to knick her shoulder. She teleported again and sent another two orbs at him. He jumped upwards. The orbs collided with each other, casing a big explosion. He landed and slashed at her. She instantly created a weapon and parried his attack. Fubuki came flying in and shot an ice beam at the ground behind her. She stepped backward and slipped. Sesshomaru slashed at her again and cut her arm right before she teleported.

"You're better than I thought…" She looked at him.

Still under his control. They both charged at each other but there was a black blur. Shida gasped. Sesshomaru felt his sword stopped in mid attack. "Get out of the way prisoner…" He heard Shida monotonously say. Sesshomaru peeked his eye open to see Mouko standing between them. His head was bowed so he couldn't see his face. He had blood running down his arms from where he caught both blades.

"Stop fighting…" He weakly said.

"You!" Sesshomaru growled when he opened both his eyes.

"How dare you show yourself!"

I knew it… "Shida… please snap out of it." He pushed them both weapons back. He stood up and looked at Shida.

"Y-You escaped my illusion! But how?"

"Don't you remember? You helped me train a long time ago. You used the same illusion on me." He stepped toward her.

"Stay back prisoner. I don't want to hurt you."

"Why?" He stepped toward her again.

Sesshomaru watched. "Prisoner? He's not controller?"

"You don't you want to hurt me?"

"Because master said not to. He needs you alive." She stepped back.

"You're stronger than he is. Why take orders from him?"

"Because he's my master?"

"Please snap out of Shida…" Mouko embraced her. She struggled to get out of his grasp.

"Get away from me prisoner… Don't make me hurt you!"

"Shida, I love you. Please snap out of it. You're stronger than he is." She pushed him back and shot an orb at him. He jumped out of the way and Sesshomaru dodged it. When Mouko landed, She was gone. "Shida…"Mouko whispered. He turned around and found himself hanging in midair. "Let go of me…" Mouko held Sesshomaru's wrist.

"Explain!" He growled.
