I feel so bad- I updated already this month and the next chapter isn't done but I started school and wasn't sure if I could finish on time….so I posted a snippet I hope will remain in the new chapter. This story isn't flowing the way I wish it would and I need some encouragement or suggestions. I hope you aren't too angry…I know how difficult it is to bother reviewing and making suggestion (rolls eyes). Other than that I lost my inspiration- I had a little trouble at school (DAMN THE END OF SUMER!) and couldn't really focus and now my 'rents are kind of angry at me…heh. But anyhoo…HELP! Lol.

This is in Onigumo's pov for the moment; the next chapter will hopefully have more and some of Kurama's pov and the build up towards he climax and some action. Yeah. Just a snippet!

…she gathered allies and neutral passage through lands by her ways and acts, and they went into battle." Onigumo himself paused - not to savor any reaction from the fox - but to immerse himself in memories and time, to marvel at the whole forgiving nature of his miko. "It was longer than expected- lasting three days and four nights, and on the dawn of that would be the fourth day their enemy was defeated, the land was separated as the barrier grew due to her being used as a catalyst and the turmoil of the ground ceased to be as much youki clashing with human ki and more of the natural conflict that passing time has made it to be."

"Then the memorials were ready to be made, and it was ascertained that they wouldn't be destroyed because of senseless battles, and the five lands were established from the allies that went with the miko into battle- for they too became allies amongst each other throwing away blood feuds and debts to establish a hierarchy that would prevent specific situations, such as that what brought them together, from occurring again." Onigumo took a deep breath and looked back the way they had come; towards the grieving hanyou and miko. "That is the promise that was agreed upon on all our written treaties and that is the blessing that keeps our lands together."

Of course, Onigumo wouldn't tell the whole story now, there were some things he had to discuss with his miko before he even took such liberties with her life- because her life was entwined with theirs and Onigumo knew that any more of the story and she could be exposed to the denizens. She was, after all, the miko without time- and he had spent some good part of his demon life trying to protect her and what she advocated. Any who tried to sever this hard earned peace apart would have to face some very angry demons and he would be at the forefront of the hanging mob.

Onigumo's face sharpened in calculating rage and malice, 'If any so much as think of harming my miko they will die.'
