Mika felt her throat close, the guard in front of her smile as he leant closer to her. His ruff check rubbed along hers as he kissed her neck. His lips brushed her ears as he spoke, 'I can smell your fear… its exciting.'

Mika felt her heart stop at his words, no! I won't let you do this! Mika called upon all of her strength and kicked out as hard as she could, she felt her foot connect with his shin. He went down hard; the guard behind her pulled her back roughly. Mika didn't care she scream letting go of all her emotions in that one yell, as she did she felt something inside her stir. A female voice gently called to her let go Mika, its ok, just let go. Mika tried to find where the voice was coming from, seeing no one Mika let her world go black.

Sesshomaru walked into the great hall and was greeted by a man he had only every seen once. Taini's father, Yukio, walked toward him smiling 'Sesshomaru, it has been a long time. How can I help you?'

Sesshomaru didn't answer, he could smell something, faint but it was there. Taini? How is it I can still catch your scent? Sesshomaru tried to speak and felt his throat tighten; this place holds many memories of you Taini… Yukio just stood and stared at Sesshomaru.

'This Sesshomaru is looking for a human girl.'

Yukio showed nothing, 'a human? Why would I have a human here?'

Sesshomaru opened his mouth to speak when a scream split the silence.

Taini opened her eyes to see a face of a man barely an inch from her; his breath was hot on her cheek, his eyes where dark with anger. Before she could get a bearing of where she was the man hit her. Taini hit the floor hard, the air expelled from her lungs making her chest burn. She tried to raise herself up but the man pushed her back down using his weight to pin her.

'You kicked me you bitch; you know we'll have to punish you for that.'

Taini felt him shift his weight and flip her on to her back, 'grab her arms!'

Taini tried to push the man off her but her arms where grabbed and held above her head. The man on top of her slowly began to slide her shirt up, his hands lingering on her exposed flesh.

Taini closed her eyes, 'stop it get off me!'

The man on top of her smacked her face, Taini tasted to sweet bitterness of blood, 'shut up… no one is going to help you.'

Taini felt tears build up and slow begin to fall down her cheeks. No! This cant be happening! I… what's that? Taini tried to concentrate on the scent, it was familiar but almost as if it was out of a dream. She could feel his hands reaching her breasts, fear struck through her and she screamed.

Sesshomaru felt his heart jump Taini? He walked passed Yukio who tried to stop him, but Sesshomaru just pushed him aside, following the scent and the cry. He came upon an oak door, he could here deaden cries from within, a blind rage filled him and one name echoed around his head Taini.

Taini saw the door burst open, as first she could only the outline of her rescuer but soon each perfect detail fell into place. His long silver hair whipped around him, his eyes were red, he bared his fangs at the men who held to the floor. In a flash of blind speed both men where dead at the feet of the great lord. Sesshomaru slowly walked over to her and pulled to her feet. Neither spoke for fear that this was all a dream and that the other would soon be lost to them again…….
