A/N: I am really sorry for the long waits in between chapters. I have very little time available to write and do the best that I can. My other story “Moonlight Cafe” is currently on hold due to a massive writers block. I hope to regain my inspiration for this story quickly. Any ideas are welcome :)
A/N2: Words in Italics are thoughts, words in bold are Naraku’s words insight Kiara’s head (like telepathy).
Glossary:
Miko: Priestess.
Youkai: Demon.
Inu-Taiyoukai: Inu refers to dog and Taiyoukai refers to a greater demon, so basically Inu-Taiyoukai means Greater dog demon.
Shoji: Screen that functions as a door.
Hanyou: Halfdemon or half-breed.

“Yes that would work”, Naraku smirked at his plans. He couldn’t wait to have the fiery girl back in his grasp. His groin tightened at the thought of his pet. Her smell was so enticing, her hair looked like it was on fire. Even her emerald green eyes seemed like little flames when she was angry. He’d never seen a female quite like her.
‘She was strong, even before I turned her into a hanyou’ he thought. ‘I could also sense strong miko-powers deep within her. Perhaps she’s even stronger than the miko who travels with Inuyasha’ Naraku mused. ‘When I bent her to my will, perhaps I’ll use that power to destroy Inuyasha!’ Naraku smirked evilly at his plans.
Chapter 5 – Defiance.
In the Palace Moon a young woman finally woke up. She could feel a cold wet cloth lying on her forehead. Her entire body hurt, the pain was excruciating to the young miko. She groaned softly as her eyes fluttered open. The light hurt her eyes, so she fluttered them a while until the light became less intense to her eyes.
Kiara groaned softly as she attempted to look around the room she was in. Every movement of her head sent a jolt of pain throughout her body. “Where am I?” she asked herself in a soft pain filled voice. “You are in the Palace Moon child” a soft voice answered from her left.
Kiara whipped her head around to the unfamiliar voice, but immediately regretted the action as another intense jolt of pain shot through her body. She whimpered in pain. “Calm down child. Your body has not yet healed” the strange voice spoke again.
Having learned from her previous reaction to the strange voice Kiara turned slowly to the sound of said voice. Her eyes fell upon an owldemon. His brown feathered wings where folded on his back, his yellowish beak glowed slightly. And his intense brown eyes looked at her with something akin to pity in them. “Who are you? How did I get here?” she asked the owl softly.
“I am Daichi” the owlyoukai replied. “As for your second question” he began. “Lord Sesshoumaru brought you here because it would seem that you saved his ward’s life, getting injured in the process.
“Oh yeah, I remember now” Kiara replied, not sure what else to say. Her cousin Kagome had told her about this Sesshoumaru. He was the lord of the Western Lands. An inu-Taiyoukai and Inuyasha’s older half-brother. They didn’t get along at all and Sesshoumaru had tried to kill both Inuyasha and her cousin on more than one occasion. ‘So why did he bring me here? I saved his ward true but why didn’t he leave me to die?’ she wondered.
--
While Kiara had been deep in thought Daichi had left to inform his lord that the woman had awoken. He knocked on the shoji to his lords study-room. After hearing the stern “enter” he slid the door open and entered lord Sesshoumaru’s study.
Sesshoumaru looked up from his work to the owldemon before him. “Milord, the woman has woken up. Her body doesn’t seem to be healing like it should though. She’s still in a lot of pain aswell”.
“Hn” was the reply he got as the stoic lord stood up from behind his desk and made his way to the medical room, followed closely by his healer. Sesshoumaru entered the room to see the strange woman staring up at the ceiling. His delicate nose sniffed the air and he was surprised to find that the woman’s human scent seemed to be fading. ‘How curious’ he thought. The woman appeared to be deep in thought. Only when his shadow covered her did she turn to look at him.
“Who are you?” Kiara asked weakly as she looked at the strange silver-haired man that towered over her. ‘He reminds me of Inuyasha. Only his hair looks silkier and his eyes are more amber than gold. He looks much more composed too, not showing a single emotion what so ever. Is he Inuyasha’s brother? He sure does fit the character description Kags gave me’, she thought.
“I am Lord Sesshoumaru of the Western Lands” the man replied stoically. ‘Yup deffinately Inuyasha’s brother’, Kiara thought.
“This Sesshoumaru has brought you here to heal for you saved my ward’s life”, he continued. “You are allowed to stay until your wounds have healed”. Kiara nodded her understanding.
“You are a miko” Sesshoumaru stated more than asked. Kiara nodded slightly “yes… I am”.
“You where not born a hanyou where you?” This time Kiara shook her head slowly, not trusting her voice.
Sesshoumaru could feel the sadness wash over her. “How did you come to be a hanyou?” he asked, feeling her sadness and even a tinge of fear rise.
“Do not tell him who turned you into a hanyou!” the spider-hanyou said menacingly forcing the message into her head. “You will regret it woman! Do not tell him!” he threatened.
“N… Naraku” Kiara said softly. Immediately after she cried out as an immense pain wrecked her body. Sesshoumaru turned to his healer, confused by what was happening. Daichi immediately went to check on the strange woman. “M… milord!” he stuttered. “It seems as though all her previously healing wounds have been reopened”.
“How is that possible?” Sesshoumaru demanded. Daichi looked at his lord, confusion shining in his eyes. “I… I don’t know my lord” he answered softly. Sesshoumaru growled but a soft voice stopped him.
“Naraku…” pant “… Naraku is…” groan “…doing…” pant “this..”.
“Why?” Sesshoumaru demanded. “He” she began but cried out in pain again. “He doesn’t…” pant “..want.. you” moan “you to..” gasp “find out… what” pant “what he.. did”.
It was obvious the miko was in a lot of pain. Her body was convulsing, her face contorted in pain and even her voice was laced with pain. Somehow Naraku had created a link to the miko allowing him to know what she was thinking and hurt her from wherever he was hiding. If he wanted answers from the miko he had to somehow sever the connection.
‘A barrier’ he thought. A normal barrier wouldn’t work against such trickery, he knew, so he placed his hand on the miko’s chest forcing his energy inside her to create a barrier within her. ‘This better work’, he thought.
--
Naraku growled angrily at the woman’s defiance. “How dare she defy me! She’ll pay for this!” he bellowed sending another wave of pain to her. It never reached her though. Something was blocking his connection to the miko. He growled furiously, realizing that Sesshoumaru must have enveloped her in a barrier.
“Damn that bastard mutt! Meddling in my affairs!” he growled furiously.
--
Sesshoumaru looked at the woman who was finally recovering from the onslaught of pain Naraku had put her through. She looked at him with those swirling eyes. When he first found her they where emerald green, but they were slowly becoming darker.
“How is it that I sense both a human and a youkai in you?” he asked. Kiara looked at the stoic lord, slightly confused. “Because he made me a hanyou?” she questioned uncertainly. “Or at least that is what he said he did”.
“The youkai and human side of a hanyou are usually combined together, one fading into the other. In you, this Sesshoumaru senses two different, separate beings. One youkai, one human. Though your human side seems to be fading” Sesshoumaru explained.
“What do you mean my human side is fading? How is that possible?” the now extremely confused and slightly panicking miko asked. “That is what this Sesshoumaru would like to know” the lord replied. “Tell me what Naraku did to you” he ordered.
“I… I don’t really know. I was unconscious most of the time”.
“Then tell me what you do know” Kiara nodded slowly starting her story.
