Chapter 4...

Sesshoumaru awoke in a foggy haze his eye's still closed but he could tell he was far from his mate and the village his brother claimed for his own. He slowly sat up growling lowly, his beast had gained control and for some reason cast him far far away. He could see large mountains and tree's telling him he was on the edge several day's travel from his brothers little village. He growled and gripped the dirt in his palms anger wrippling threw him as he thought back to all that had happened in the last few days.

All he wanted to do was take his mate and hibernate with her until she forgave him for his sins against her. Sadly his female was absolutely terrified of him and it broke his heart. He stood slowly looking at his torn robes angerly. He knew his otherself went full Inu leaving him a complete and total mess, first he would clean himself, gather his energy and then he would retrieve his mate.

-With Kagome-

Kagome sat next to Inuyasha watching the still sleeping female youkai in their hut. At first she was worried Sesshoumaru was going to rush back and slaughter everyone in his way to get to her but after the last two days she wasn't as concerned. Inuyasha on the other hand was absolutely panicked as he kept searching the area surounding the village for any sign of his brother. He knew when he did return it would be hell for them all.

"Inuyasha are you ok?" Kagome asked softly as she watched him slap himself in the throat catching the greedy flee from his throat. Myoga squeeled trying his beast to get away from the Hanyou. He had heard threw the smaller youkai in the area that the lost mate of their lord had returned and Myoga had to be sure himself that Yukiko had returned. The poor female was given such a bitter fate he wanted to see she was alive for his own eye's.

"Stupid flee!" Inuyasha barked as he threw Myoga down in front of them making Kagome gasp softly.

"Inuyasha don't be so rude!" She said reprimanding him softly. Myoga stood and smiled up waving at Kagome and waving off Inuyasha assault."Hello Myoga what's brought you here?" Kagome finished asking as she picked him up so he could be eye level with them for the conversation. Myoga nodded his head and thanked her quietly as he turned to look at the female in front of them passed out.

"I see the rumors amongst the land where true.. Milady is alive.." Myoga said causing Inuyasha's ears to pin to the top of his head as Kagome looked at the flee curious as to more he had to say.

"Yes we came in contact with her a few day's ago when she was trapped by Naraku's tricks. She's in such bad shape where not sure what to do with her and she wants nothing to do with Sesshomaru so were pretty stuck," Kagome said bashfully as Inuyasha rolled his eye's.

"I told her to leave her where she sat but no we have to be the hero's and help everyone even when it's going to get us further down a hole." Inuyasha mumbled as Myoga hopped to Yukiko's body looking her over as best he could without drinking from her.

"I understand I wouldn't wish to be with the western lord after what he did either..those were some dark times. Your father would have been rolling in his grave if he saw how he treated her that day."said sniffing at her veins frowning. Kagome blinked and looked the flee wondering what he was doing.

"Dark times? Can you tell us what happened to her atleast that way we can figure out how to help her." Kagome asked wanting to help the poor female in fornt of her. Myoga looked at her and sighed his senses going numb from the strong smell of poison coming from her blood stream.

"I can tell you that the day I speak of was one of the worst day's the western ladn had encounter well after the day your father had passed. The young lord had been tricked by a snake demoness she wanted his name and title so he tricked him into thinking our lady was betraying their mating bond. Sadly the lord took the bait and gave the snake permission to end Yukiko's life not sensing or caring for the fact that his mate was pupped with their first and never betrayed him. After her death he grew colder and harsher living in a deep depression. Once he was unclouded by the snake he realized he was tricked and tried to kill the snack but she ran away before he could finish the job." Myoga said making Kagome look at Yukiko sadly.

She never took Sesshoumaru for someone easily trick or even someone that cruel to do this damage tohis mate so carelessly she understood now why she had run from him and tried to kill him. He ahd broken their bond and even went as far to kill her.

"The bastard has always been a cruel piece of shit. Even to the ones in his pack." Inuyasha said feeling pity for the female who did nothing but be punished for loving a bastard. Myoga sighed and nodded his head.

"The young lord never recovered from this his mother even mourns for Yukiko but I had no clue she was still alive and breathing. I wonder where she was hiding all this time." Myoga said as Kagome nodded her head in agreement.

"All we know is she's been laying dormant. Now my question is could there be someone who would able to help her prehaps?" Kagome asked as Myoga sat thinking about who could help then it hit him.

"Misteress poison in the southern hill's. She's an old entity that has many cures and poisons. If you bring her a gift I'm sure she would gladly help...She loves items that are shiny remember that." Myoga said as he looked towards the door signaling he was going to take his leave.

"Something shiny really?" Kagome said furrowing her brow's as she tried to think of something. Myoga nodded his head and crossed his arms.

"Yes it has to be shiny crow demons usually like shiny things to add to their nests." He said looking around nervously."May I ask where the young lord is currently?" He finished not wanting to be around when he comes back. Inuyasha tisked and shrugged.

"We have no clue and I want it to stay that way" Inuyasha said seriously making Kagome slap his arm, Myoga sighed and looked back towards the poor female on the floor then the door again.

"I'll go ask around from some sources and meet up with you later. Don't forget she's in the southern mountains and I wouldn't wait to much longer." He said before hopping out of the hut to the woods. Kagome stood up excitedly and looked to Inuyasha smiling.

"Well get up we need to tell Sango and Miroku were heading out and to get ready to pack thing's up. When she wakes we should leave." Kagome finished as Inuyasha stood and rolled his eye's not wanting to go threw with this. Taking Yukiko anywhere was like a ticking Sesshoumaru time bomb.

Sometime later...

Yukiko stirred slightly waking herself up. She was so physically tired her body felt like nothing she did would fix this ache. Nothing was working and it was killing her. She slowly sat up resting her palm on her stomach frowning as she pulled her hand away knowing nothing was in there. She looked around the hut and blinked at the old human woman sitting in front of her by the fire.

Kaede looked at the once beautiful youkai and gave her a soft wrinkled smile. She had no clue what Kagome had dragged everyone into but she felt pity for the female Inu in front of her. It seemed like no matter who it was once they were around those Inuyoukai from the west they were cursed. Be it her sister or this female now.

"Kagome and the others are preparing some things for the upcoming trip just lay back and rest some more milady you've been threw much trauma." Kaede said as the female Inu blinked and scented the air confucingly.

Yukiko sighed and slowly agreed with the elderly woman. The people in this village had done nothing to harm her so she felt no need to completely panic. To her it mattered not if she lived or died, she was tired of fighting to live when she'd been done so much wrong.
