Hello my Lovely Readers and Writers...
Hey! I'm still alive and well! Hope everyone is doing alright and staying safe. Sorry that this episode took so long to come out... My computer was acting wonky but luckily it didn't ease anything that I was working on here, so that is good news and also had some things to deal with but things should be getting back to normal on my part soon. Anyway... let's get back to the episode shall we!? :)
Previously on Great Dog's Devotion:
("You may be right but we shall see and what I have in store for him... I will succeed." He said. )

Nikko P.O.V.
We continue to stare at each other for a few minutes. I was unsure what was going to happen next and I was so tense that my muscle were starting to ache in my shoulders.
"Also...You are part of this...though you may not know it yet...you will join me whether you like it or not... I prefer you to like it though." He said with a smirk. I shook my head in denial of that statement.
"I will never join you...Sesshomaru and my friends will rescue me and will defeat you Naraku." I said with defiance. Suddenly I felt a large cool hand wrap round my neck, by instinct I reached up and place my hands on the wrist.
Quickly, I looked up and saw that it was Naraku who was held my neck but he didn't squeeze or lift me off the ground, only put a little pressure around my neck but I could still breathe. Then he was just staring at me as if looking for something, possibly fear and trying to intimidate me.
Then he looks at my hair and with his other hand decides to touch my hair on my left side, two fingers ran down a few strands until he stopped at my neck. I grimace as he was doing that, it made my skin crawl.
He looks at it for a moment, then lets go of the strands and the other hand slowly slides from my neck but as his fingers pass, four of his nails scratched my neck. I didn't flinched as it happened, as I continue to stare at him with no fear on his face. He smirked as he moves away from me as if he was already planning something sinister.
"As much I would like to talk with you more, I must take my leave and deal with some... problems with a simple solution... but let me leave you with this piece of advice, people can tolerate so much until they get tired of you." He said as he stands up and heads to the door. Then I saw the door open and there was someone was in front of it.
It was a kid at the doorway that came in as Naraku left out and I saw the full appearance of the kid. He was 3' 6'' ,seems to be about eleven years old with brown hair wearing a light purple kimono with dark purple patches, one on his right shoulder and other on was the whole left side of his hip also had a dark purple sash around his waist.
He had wraps around his wrists and ankles also his feet were bare. In his hand was a large bone-like sickle that was attached to weight tipped chain and it seems that would be able to cut through anything.
He had small freckles across his nose which made him look more innocent, then I looked at his eyes... His eyes were what had surprised me, they were hazel and there seem to be full of expression in those eyes: compassion, gentle, sweet and caring but also in those eyes... had hidden things within as if a dark secret would either make him or break him.
Also he looked very similar to what Sango had describe to me as her little brother: Kohaku. Sango told me what had happen that night at the castle with her father, her brother and other fellow demon slayers fighting a demon.
She and her brother were the last of their tribe, the last demon hunters. Then the door closed and the kid lit the oil candle and glanced at me for a moment, then sat down.
When I was sure it was safe, I slowly lean back against the wall and then slid down the wall until I sat on the floor, exhausted from all the things going on. I took a deep breath then let it out and I looked up at him.
Apparently, he was looking a me with a slight curiosity, he seemed he was unsure of why he was here but still was doing it seem to be a duty. "Hi..." I said calmly to him.
He blinked surprised that I said something and looked away from me and towards the door. "Um...Hi." He said. "I'm Nikko...What is your name?" I said.
"I'm Kohaku." He said still looking away from me. I nodded as it confirmed my suspicions...he is Sango's little brother.
"Where are your parents?...surely they must be out looking for you or maybe your siblings?" I said hoping that may trigger something in him. There was silence for a moment as I saw him struggling as a frown etched onto his face as if he was trying to recall it but couldn't.
He shook his head as he couldn't remember anything else, then I turned away from that question and changing to a new subject. "Do you know why you're here or who you are working with?" I asked hoping I can get some more information. Hesitantly, he nodded and looked at me.
"I'm here to keep an eye on you and watch guard just in case you try to escape but that is all I know." He said as he looked away once more. I sighed in defeat as gathered what I know, but what I do know is that I have to find a way to escape and maybe convince Kohaku to come with me.
