'I knew something was wrong. I knew it once I got up that morning. I knew that basket of muffins smelled kind of funny.'

Sesshomaru stood there in fighting position opposite of Kaeldra. Burning buildings surrounded them. A distant otherworldly look in her beautiful silver eyes, but that wasn't her, not anymore. Sesshomaru thought back to earlier that day when he walked Kaeldra to her home and there was a basket of muffins on the doorstep with a card with her name on it. She smiled as she picked it up; there was no name on the card saying who left it.

"Seriously Sesshomaru you didn't have to walk me home, I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." She smiled as she stood on the steps that made her as tall as him and put her arms around his neck.

"I know, but I told you. Something's not right and I just wanted to make sure you're okay." He said in a low deep tone as he wrapped his own arms around her waist.

"Well good night Sesshomaru." She whispered as she leaned in for a kiss.

"Good night. Be careful." He turned to walk away.

"Sesshomaru?" she called after him, he turned to her, "I love you, and I always will no matter what." He looked into her eyes and knew that this was the truth.

"I love you too, and I also will no matter what." She smiled and they turned away.

'That was the last thing we ever said to each other. Before he took her from me.'

He could feel it in his heart and soul. Something had happened. To Kaeldra. Sesshomaru ran back to Kaeldra's home and broke down the door. She wasn't there, the basket was on the table and a muffin with I bite taken out of it was on the wood floor. He walked over and picked it up and sniffed it, he scrunched his nose and turned away in disgust. Something was mixed into the muffin, something that does NOT belong in a muffin, or any other food for that matter. He took the muffin to the town's medicine lady. She sniffed it once.

"It's a mind control powder. Whoever took a bite out of this is now in control of whomever they heard first after taking the bite. They would have no memory of who they are or they're past. They would only know and do what the person in control tells them."

Sesshomaru, taking in this horrifying piece of information and thought to himself, 'Now, who would want to have complete control of Kaeldra?' Then it hit him like a ton of bricks…

"KAEN!"
