Naraku's POV

"Damn them!" I was so close! I will get her back. "Kanna!" The girl appeared beside me. "Have you found her yet? Is she still alive?"

She nodded once. "I have found her. Alive."

I smiled. "Excellent send Kohaku to fetch her, I'm sure she's afraid all by herself."

She nodded. "Yes Naraku but, there might be a small problem."

I stiffened. "What problem." I watched her mirror as pictures started to appear. Sesshomaru was with her. "Damn it! No matter. I will still get her back."

"Just how are you going to do that?" I looked up to see Kagura standing in the doorway.

"Kagura, did you find Kikyo?"

She shook her head. "No, not a single trace of her. It's almost like she just vanished."

I smiled. "Very good Kagura." I turned back to Kanna's mirror. "Make sure Kohaku gets there before there is permanent damage."

Kagura looked into the mirror staring intently. "I don't think he's going to hurt her."

I glared at the woman. "Not physical. If he unwinds my web around her eyes we will have a big problem."

She nodded. "Oh, alright. I'll get Kohaku there as quickly as I can."

Sesshomaru's POV

I looked down at the small woman her scent was intoxicating, she smelled of cherry blossoms and fresh water. I growled inwardly at the annoying tug trying to pull me closer to her. I knew what it was as soon as it pulled me towards her. It's the pull of a soulmate, they are so rare that most demons consider it just a myth. I wonder why have I never felt this pull to her before?

"So, Sesshomaru?" I nodded to her. "Where exactly are we going?"

I looked up to a far away mountain. "There is said to be a pool at the top of those mountains that is so clear and so still that when you look into them you are actually looking deep into yourself."

She nodded slowly. "so, we're looking for...me?"

I sighed. "In a sense yes. Your memories were taken from you. hopefully this pool will return them to you."

We were already out of her clearing of death. It seemed that it went in a full circle around her. "What makes you believe that my memories were taken from me?"

I blinked and looked back at her. "I knew you before."

"So...everything that boy told me...was a lie?"

I nodded. "More then likely."

She looked down at the ground clenching her fists tightly. "But why?"

"Because that is what Naraku does. He takes what others hold dear corrupts it and has it kill them."

She lifted her head and met my gaze, her eyes so dark brown they were almost black. "Did he do that to Inuyasha and his...group?"

I Held her gaze and nodded. "Yes, I believe so."

She was quiet for a moment staring up at the mountains. "What about you?" I tilted my head to the side. "Did he take something of yours and corrupt it as well?"

I followed her gaze up to the mountains. "Not at first."
