Hello my Lovely Readers and Writers...
I'm alright! But I'm trying get over a writers block and trying to get the inspiration back...I hope everyone is doing alright and staying safe during this tough time. Sorry that this episode took awhile to be released... I want to make sure that this story is flowing right and brings out the characters accurately, as they should be. Also, I will put out a new chapter every two week or earlier, so don't worry this story will continue but not as often as you guys and gals are use to. So thank you guys and gals for being patience with this story. Anyway... let's get back to the episode shall we!? :)
Previously on Great Dog's Devotion:
(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. )

Sesshomaru P.O.V.
"Nikko..." I thought as I looked through the forest and trying to catch a scent of the one who took what belongs to me. Concern, clarity and pure fury were the emotions running through me while I still didn't show any emotions as I continued to seek out for Naraku for the pass two days, never really stopping unless Rin needed to eat, most of the time she would rest while riding Ah-Un.
And yet so far...nothing...as if he vanished into thin air, how is that possible? I even tried to catch Nikko wonderful unique scent and still she is nowhere in sight as if she didn't exist.
"Of all the times... Naraku hasn't shown... why now?...what can he possibly gain by taking Nikko...?" I thought as we were walking through the forest at night with Jaken to my left. Directly behind me was Ah-Un who had Rin riding on them as the day was turned into night.
Suddenly, at that moment the answer hit me with a realization. He wants me to finish off Inuyasha and took Nikko to force me to do his dirty work in order for me to get her back.
Unfortunately, Naraku is a fool to think that I would do whatever he desire, he will not control me. My thoughts were interrupted as I heard Rin stomach growling very loudly and we stopped as Rin got off of Ah-Un with boundless energy and went in search for food to eat.
"Jaken...go with her to find food." I said as he nodded and went to catch up with Rin. I continued walking forward with Ah-Un by my side until I was at the end of the forest in the open field.
I look up and saw that the sky was clear and the stars shown in the night sky. Even in the darkest nights there are the brightest stars.
A lot of things had went through my mind, then Nikko came into my mind and continued to stay there. "Nikko...please stay strong for me... I must get Naraku...He will pay for this... I will get you back, one way or another." I thought.
As I continued to look up the night sky to clear my thoughts and trying to figure out how Naraku has no scent or hiding his ever building demonic aura but it isn't even close to being as powerful as mine or that of a pure yokai. Suddenly the breeze of the wind blew into my direction and I caught a scent...the vile scent of grave yard soil and harsh miasma.
"The scent of the wind has change...it's Naraku's scent but I don't smell Nikko just him...however he would not have her close to him since it is dangerous to be near miasma for humans. So this may be a trap." I thought. Then my thoughts were interrupted as I heard some small footsteps and heavy panting as if the individual was getting out of breath coming towards me quickly.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken shouted as he ran to me and tried to catch his breath as I turned to him. "What is it Jaken? Where is Rin?" I said as I noticed she was not with him.
Jaken lowered his head in shame and then looked at me with fear in his eyes of what might be his punishment for not caring for Rin properly. This didn't happen when Nikko was attending to Rin, she would protect her with everything she had.
"My Lord Rin has been abducted by Kagura the wind sorceress, who is Naraku's incarnations." Jaken said. As I figured Naraku had finally made his next move.
"Let me reassure you...Lord Sesshomaru." A recognizable voice said as demon wasps appeared and then it was Naraku in his white baboon outfit.
"If you heed my request...I shall return Rin and Nikko in good health." Naraku said in a calm manner. Then he explained to me that he wanted Inuyasha eliminated as I thought that is why he took Nikko and Rin in the first place. I smiled as I knew his plan but unsure why would he want to go through such lengths for one half demon such as my little brother.
After that I decapitated Naraku...as I figured it was a demon puppet. "Does Naraku honestly believe that he can threaten me into action by endangering the mere lives of mortals?." I said. Jaken turned to me in surprise of what I said, though he had seen how I and Nikko got along but with Rin as well since I brought her back from the dead with Tetsiagia and kept her with me.
As I stared at the forest, looking the demon wasps as they continued staring at me. "Will you turn your back on Rin and Nikko?...Are you going to forsake them in order to get to Naraku?" He asked meekly.
I said nothing to him, as I walked forward following the scent that Naraku carelessly placed in the breeze. "Wait where you going my Lord?...Where are you heading?" Jaken said as he ran to keep up with me. Once I find Naraku...he will be gone for good by my hand.
