A/N: Finally! A long awaited chapter! I am so sorry for taking so long! I hope you are still with me because I do love this story! I've just been so busy with university and everything around it that I haven't gotten around to writing much. And because of the lack of time I also continue to stumble on the ever feared writers blocks. You see, normally when I don't know how to write something, or how to continue I go out and do what I think my characters should do. I try to create their situation. If that's not possible I take my dog out to the woods and go for a good hike. Somehow that always inspires me (maybe it makes me feel like Kagome somehow?). Anyhow, here's a new chapter finally! Hope you like it!
Glossary:
Miko: Priestess.
Youkai: Demon.

“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.
Chapter 6 – Sesshoumaru’s finding.
Sesshoumaru had listened patiently to the miko’s story. How Naraku managed to follow Inuyasha’s wench to her world was a mystery to him. The miko didn’t remember much, apparently she had been unconscious during most of what Naraku had done to her.
It was however obvious to him that Naraku had taken an interest in the miko. He knew that was not good. If Naraku where to have his way with the miko he would have a powerful mate by his side. Their offspring would be extremely powerful.
The miko had been altered and now possessed both miko and youkai powers. Such a combination was dangerous. He had to make sure Naraku didn’t get his hands on her. She would be too powerful a weapon.
He looked at the sleeping miko. Her wounds were taking too long to heal. Her miko healing abilities should have kicked in by now. He knew it wasn’t Naraku that was blocking her powers for he still had the barrier up.
Once the miko had fully healed he could drop his barrier, she would be able to block out Naraku herself then. Until that time came he had to help her though. If he didn’t Naraku might be able to force her to leave the Palace Moon and go to him. He couldn’t let that happen.
The girls breathing and heart rate sped up indicating that she was waking up. He watched her stir, her eyes fluttering open. She looked at him and smiled “you stayed” she said softly.
Sesshoumaru raised a brow but dismissed her words to ask a question of his own. “Miko why are your healing powers not working?”
Kiara blinked thinking of an answer “I’m not sure” she said in a soft voice. “But I can feel my powers swirling inside of me as if they’re doing something. I don’t know what though. I’m obviously not healing”.
Sesshoumaru contemplated her answer. ‘If not healing her many wounds what could her powers be doing?’ Then something dawned on him. ‘Could it be?’ he wondered. He had to make sure.
Gently Sesshoumaru placed his hand over the miko’s chest. She looked at him, panic showing in her eyes. “Relax miko, this Sesshoumaru will not harm you”. He noted with satisfaction how the miko relaxed instantly at his words.
Sesshoumaru concentrated on the miko’s powers finding they were indeed active. Suddenly he felt a rather powerful spike of youki. “Miko” he started. “This Sesshoumaru believes your powers are fighting your newly gained youki”.
He could see the shock written all over the miko’s face. “H… how? W… what does that mean?” she stumbled. “This Sesshoumaru is uncertain” he replied stoicly.

Inuyasha stood in the middle of a clearing, his nose in the air carefully taking in the different scents around him. His companions were all sitting or standing around him. Everyone was on edge. Shippou was cuddled up in Kagome’s arms. Sango stood rigid, keeping a watchful eye on the monk who’s hand once again itched to touch her bottom. Kirara was perched on Sango’s shoulder sniffing the air delicately.
They had lost track of Seshoumaru’s scent so they had to stop to try and trace it again. ‘Kiara is with Sesshoumaru, what could that mean?’ Kagome wondered still. ‘Is she okay? Did Sesshoumaru save her? Is he taking care of her? Why? Why would he do that? What is he upto?’
Her musings where interrupted by Inuyasha’s angry growl. Kagome’s shoulders slumped, he couldn’t find his brothers or Kiara’s scent. That wasn’t good.
“Perhaps we should camp here for the night” Miroku suggested. “We are all tired and perhaps we’ll be luckier after a good rest.
Everyone agreed, even Inuyasha, and so camp was made, Ramen was prepared and eaten in silence. Soon they were all asleep. All but one. A young miko lay awake. She was too worried for her cousin’s wellbeing, to confused about what Inuyasha said about her scent to sleep. So she lay awake, pondering.
-----
Far away in a dark castle an evil entity known as Naraku paced his chambers furiously. His pet had apparently found safety under Sesshoumaru’s protection. ‘How can I get her away from that mutt?’ he wondered. ‘Why would he even protect her? She’s a hanyou now! Does he not hate them?’ It didn’t make any sense.
Naraku hated to admit it, but his plan had failed. His pet had escaped him. Instead of her having nowhere to go and thus come back to him, she saved the Western Lord’s ward and gained his protection. “Grrr… that bitch!” Naraku roared. “How dare she go against me!”
‘But he would have her. Oh yes he would. And when he did he would show her what happened to those who defied him! Well not exactly’, he thought. ‘Normally those who dared defy me would die a slow, painful death. Not her though. Oh no, I will show her pain yes. Great pain!’ he laughed thinking of all the ways he could inflict pain on his pet.
-----
Kagura shivered at the sound of her masters exceptionally evil laugh. “This can’t be good” she whispered softly.
