How light carries on endlessly, even after death.
The young Miko, whose long brown hair was held in a low ponytail, made her way as quickly as she could using Kagome's arrow as her guiding light. She was not without her own power, but she knew it was Kagome's arrow protecting her. She was only a mere 15 years old and didn't understand why Kagome had such faith in her. Finding a flea in vast lands was not easy, and by time she did find him her clothes were dirty, she was hungry, and her feet hurt, but she knew it was nothing compared to what Lady Kagome was going through.
"Oh, A Miko?"
"Myoga-sama" She breathed,
"You know my name?" He asked,
"Hai, Myoga-Sama Lady Miko Kagome has sent me to find you!" Her eyes went slightly wide as she spoke.
Myoga dropped the tiny food he had in his hand, "Kagome, you say?"
He jumped up and down, "How can this be!?"
The young Miko knelt down, tired, "Do you not know Myoga-sama, she lives by the power of the jewel."
He knew she had stayed; he did not know she was alive still. He had stopped coming around after Naraku's death. Inuyasha didnt need him anymore.
"Myoga-sama, Lady Kagome needs your help!"
"Of course! With what?"
The Mikos eye twinkled, and he knew something was wrong. She told him of how the jewel gave Kagome great power and life, but also great grief.
"The jewel is doing this to her, you say?"
"Hai!"
"Why does she not remove it?"
"She can not!" She gasped.
He sighed, "We will need to seek my Lord and master."
She was afraid of that, "You speak of Lord Sesshomaru?"
"I'm afraid so."
She clutched the arrow, and his eyes moved to it "She gave you that?" Myoga pointed out.
"Hai, though her power is draining from it, it took me three days to find you."
"Then let us hurry Miko!" He jumped up and down. The girl lifted her hand, and he jumped on "Ano, do you know where to find him?"
"To the West of course."
And so the meek girl went West, never once letting go of the arrow given to her.
They found the demon Lord standing on a cliff watching the fast-changing land below.
"Why have you come Myoga and with a Miko no less,"
"My Lord, forgive me, but I bring news."
"I seek no news" He didn't look at them.
"Ano, My Lord-
"I am no Lord to your kind girl," He spoke.
She swallowed and recalled Kagomes words to her. She stepped closer, and the flea jumped down. The girl knelt down and lifted the arrow up "Forgive this lowly Miko Sesshomaru-sama, but I have bent sent by a far greater Miko in need in your help."
The wind blew, and his hair swayed, and ever so slowly, he turned and looked down at the girl. His eyes fell to the arrow in her hand. He reached down and plucked it from her fingers to her great shock. But she did not lift her head for fear of him and his beauty. How he was holding her arrow, she didnt know.
"The Miko," He said silently,
"Lady Kagome Sesshomaru-Sama" She corrected respectfully.
He thought her long dead, though it did not surprise him in the least "So the light carries on endless does it," He stated.
She peeked through her bangs, "In great pain and infliction."
He didnt move his eyes from the arrow "What is it she would have me do" Not that he would do anything.
Myoga cleared his throat, "My Lord, if I may?"
"Hn"
"The Miko Kagome has been suffering alone for many years, she can not remove the jewel nor can she change the effects it is having on her"
"A mortal should be pleased with immortality" He stated,
"It is not the immortality that is causing her pain," He stated.
Sesshomaru looked at the girl, "Why does she not come herself, why does she send this Miko?"
She looked up at him fully "She can not move in her state, Lord Sesshomaru-sama."
He thought it comical that she taught this young Miko's respect for him when she herself never spoke to him in such a refined way.
Sesshomaru looked back at Myoga "I grow tired of this,"
The flea cleared his throat "Well you see My Lord; the jewel keeps taking hold of Kagome's womb."
Sesshoamrus brows went together in what looked like confusion.
"But for some reason, she keeps miscarrying" The young girl spoke.
"What issue is it of mine, does the Miko not have a husband?"
"Ne Sesshomaru-Sama" The girl spoke quickly.
"My Lord, think! A baby born from the jewel, it would have incredible power!"
"Then perhaps she does not need aid, I do not wish to deal with another Naraku."
"But my Lord!" Myoga jumped up and down.
"Please, won't you just see her, she just wishes it to stop" She lowered her head.
He looked at the arrow once more, her power faint now but still there. He had to admit; he was curious.
Sesshomaru began to walk away. She lifted her head.
"My Lord, where are you going?" Myoga asked,
"I am merely following the light" He spoke which made the girl and the flea look at each other.
"How can he see it?" She asked,
"Are you not coming Miko girl or do you wish to stay behind?"
She quickly scooped up the flea demon and followed after the tall deadly demon Lord.
