'Excuse me? Kill Sesshomaru? But why did you want him to marry your daughter?'

The man walked over to her and embraced her; Mika felt her whole body stiffen; this man had just asked her to kill someone and was now hugging her.

'Taini I have missed you so much!' He slowly pulled away from her and stroked the hair out of her face.

'I'm not Taini and what in the hell makes you think I could kill Sesshomaru? He's like… a… god…'

The man laughed and smiled, 'Taini…you are his one true weakness.'

Mika started to laugh; a flash of anger took over the man's face.

'Me his weakness? One I'm NOT Taini, my name is Mika. Two I am a human and he hates me so I have…'

Suddenly the man grabbed her arm and pulled it behind her back, forcing her to her knees. She felt that the nails on his hand grow, digging deep into her arm, his free hand snaked around her neck and he leant in to her so that his lips touched her ear.

'You will help me or you will end up like Taini,' he pulled her arm, pain shot through her and her vision began to blur.

'You like her will have not choice in the matter, Mika.'

He shoved her hard to the floor and walked away, Mika heard the door behind her slam shut. She quickly stood; she was in a library with books that went from ceiling to floor. In front of her was a large wooded desk, everything was neat and in place. Mika slowly walked over and looked at the desk; there was nothing personal to give any clues as to the place or the owner of the desk. Mika sat down in the chair and waited.

Kagome had felt her heart stop when she had realised that Mika was gone, fear almost paralysed her. Where is she? Why can't Inuyasha smell her? Where is she? Kagome felt tears begin to sting her eyes as she helped the others look, she couldn't think like that Mika was fine she had to be. Kagome turned she saw Sesshomaru beginning to walk away, panic took over and she grabbed hold of the lord's arm.

'Please Lord Sesshomaru, what have you done to Mika?'

Sesshomaru seemed to ignore her, but then his eyes slowly looked down at her. Slowly he spoke, 'this Sesshomaru has done nothing to the girl yet.'

Kagome felt the relief flood her body Sesshomaru did get Mika, she must be hiding. Kagome slowly let go of Sesshomaru who seemed lost in thought, suddenly she was pulled back into Inuyasha as Sesshomaru turned into his dog form and ran into the distance.

The smell, it had been faint but he knew he had smelt it. It was as Inuyasha's wench had touched him, it had been there. The first time he had smelt that foul odour was at the home of Taini's father. Why does he have that human girl? The thought flitted through Sesshomaru's mind, he didn't care, and she was just a human girl after all. He soon stood outside the gates of Taini home, much had changed. The once beautiful garden that Taini had loved so much, was gone, in its place was thick thorn bushes. Sesshomaru sneered, raising his hand and sent his Whip of light crashing through the bushes. I will find the girl and kill her.

Mika sat up as she heard the door open, Taini's father and two other man walked in. Mika felt fear roll over her skin, both men seemed to be in a kind of uniform and had markings on their faces similar to that of the Taini's father.

'I have given you time to think about your decision Ta…Mika. Do you still refuse to help me?'

Mika just stared at the three men, she knew what ever she answered they where going to hurt her so why bother. Taini's father glared at her and gently nodded his head. Quicker than she could see one of the men and lifted her out of the chair, and had both of her arms locked behind her back.

'I'm sorry Mika but I didn't catch your reply, did you say you are going to help us?'

Mika felt the grip on her arms tighten, staring straight at Taini's father she smiled, 'No.'

Pure rage filled his face, the other guard was moving, claws racked her face, the man behind her pulled her arms tighter and she felt something pop. A scream tore from her throat, don't cry don't let them see your fear! Even as she thought the guard in front of her hit her hard in the stomach, Mika retched, she suddenly couldn't breath, and her vision again became blurred. It seemed like miles away she hear a voice, 'don't kill her this time. Just let her know we mean business.'

'How far can we take it?'

Mika vision cleared and she looked at Taini's father, their eyes locked, Taini father turned and walked away. As he got to the door he turned back and looked at her again, 'as far as you like… just don't kill her.'

Mike felt her knees give out on her, she tried to beg him to come back, but the hit from earlier was still effecting her. As the door shut the guard in front of her smiled, 'lets have some fun shall we?'
