�Minds to minds�

~ Thoughts ~

"Spoken Words"

~ I couldn�t even bury them. ~ Miroku thought, evere hee he had reached to touch one of them their bodies had turned to dust and with each touch he had a rush of their feelings as they died. Their hopelessness and helplessness, it had been truly awful.

~ What type of spell could do that, kill in seconds, draining all the life force from the victims and leave nothing but dried husks. ~ In the end he had just touched each of them with a stick and said a prayer for them before leaving the village.

Miroku paused as he arrived at the top of the hill, he didn�t know what to say to the others, but he did know that Shippo was too young still to know what had happened there. He had had enough sorry and death in his young life, Miroku would shield him from this if he could.

Behind her, Sango could hear Shippo giggling as he and Kirara were playing, while she stood guard over them, she became anxious as she watched as Miroku walked towards them, and it was obviously that he was caught up in some very unpleasant thoughts.

His shoulders were slumped, his face was ghost pale, and hlkedlked as if lead was tied to his feet as he leaned on his staff she hadn�t seem him like this since he had his void.

"Miroku, your back." Shippo eagerly yelled, as he left Kirara and began to race toward him.

"Aren�t we going down to eat now?" he complained, as Sango grabbed him and held him to her chest.

He was hungry, he wanted them to hurry up so that he could eat� hmm, and maybe he could get some stew.

"I�m�" Shippo started to whine again, but was frightened into silence when he noticed the look on Miroku�s face.

Sango had shrugged off the disturbed feeling come from the village, but now that she could see his face she knew that something very, very bad had happened in that village, something that had definitely spooked her monk.

~ Why he�s all most shaking. ~ She thought in surprise, she had never seen Miroku like this, she gazed at him with a questioning look on her face. ~ What down there? ~

She looked him over to see if he was hurt� everything look fine� except for his eyes� the ghastly look in them. Sango swallowed, Miroku looked as if he seen the depths of hell up close.

"We�ll go on. There�s nothing there for us." Miroku tried to avoid Sango eyes, but at the same time he was attempting to let her know that later he would tell her what the problem was. Turning he began walking away from the village� after a moment Sango, Kirara, and Shippo felt in step behind him.

~ Something was wrong. ~ Shippo thought as his protest die unspoken as he watched the look that passed between them. They were hiding something from him and he knew it was bad.

After sitting up camp that night, then cooking dinner and finally getting Shippo into bed and asleep, Sango was getting inpatient. She wanted to know what he had seen because tomorrow they would be entering the Western Lands to confront Sesshoumaru.

Carefully watching the balled up Shippo, who was lying on the other side of the fire with Kirara to make sure that he was really asleep, Miroku sat by Sango. This was a discussion that Shippo didn�t need to hear. Overwhelmed with fear, Miroku shivered, the images of what he had seen in the village filled his mind yet again.

~ I�m pretty sure his asleep. ~

Miroku sighed and looked at an inpatient Sango, he whispered. "Everyone in the village was dead� every man, woman and child. The town was holding a harvest festival� and they just drop were they were standing."

He paused for a moment before going on, "I never seen anything like it. There was no signs of violence unless you counted the looks on their face."

"Could it have been a youkai." Sango frowned and asked quietly so as not to wake Shippo. Miroku had seen the worse a youkai could do, she would be surprised that one could shock him, no matter what they did.

"No�." He paused, "Youkai�s leave some signs, normally a claw marks or some other mess when they attack. This reminded me of Kanna, but still different�. Kanna didn't kill the people whose souls she took, this thing did. No, everything was in great shape� the village was fine, except for the dead people littering the ground. The look on their faces�"

Miroku halted himself she didn�t to know that, not even a description, the looks on their faces would haunt him for the rest of his life.

But if a youkai hadn�t killed them, what could have done it?

Miroku looked into the fire lost in thought, would they find more villages like this and what would happen tomorrow when they entered the Western Lands?

********************************************************************

�The Western Castle.

Sesshoumaru cast his mind at Abigeru, � Abigeru�, he called, he felt her startled surprise when she received the overflow of his heightened desire brought out by Kagome�s heat. �Something has happened to bring her heat on early, a drug of some type has been give to her. Find out how. Have Jiro, lock down the castle and look to the defense, this could be a trap.�

Abigeru felt Sesshoumaru�s desired filled mind fade from hers, taking her strength with it and leaving her weak knee and leaning against a wall for support. She walked drunkenly down the hallway, swaying from side to side, when she felt two strong arms wrap around her.

&;

He reached for the tassel cord wall pull hanging by the fireplace, and started to pull it to summon a servant to put her to bed, but paused when he hear her next words.

"Kagome-sama, Sesshoumaru-sama new mate, was drugged, her heat was brought on early. Sesshoumaru believes it to be a trap, he ordered me to have you lock down the castle and look to the defenses." She said softly, as pain began to gather behind her eyes.

"I�ll take care of it, Abigeru. You�ll need to sleep to regain your strength you�re not a mind speaker, Sesshoumaru forgets that sometimes." Jiro pulled the cord to call a servant to care for her and when Ami-ria and Amita arrived he ordered "One of you help Abigeru to bed and the other to summon the captains of the guards to Sesshoumaru study."

He saw the look pass between Ami-ria and Amita and knew that they were talking to one another in their own private little world. He stood beside the fire and watched as Ami-ria left the room to summon the captains and Abigeru leaned heavily on Amita as she was lead to her bedroom, when he saw that she was being care for he then left for Sesshoumaru study.

Jiro sat at Sesshoumaru desk and waited. So he heard the sounds of footsteps coming down the hall towards the study.

He sat back and watched as Otoya, captain of the evening guard enter, followed by Saita, captain of the day guard. Last came Shinichi the captain of the house guard Jiro motioned them to a sit and spoke.

"As you must know, Sesshoumaru-sama has taken a new mate." The men in the room smirked and nodded their heads.

"About time." Otoya started but paused when Jiro held up a hand.

"Sesshoumaru-sama new mate was drugged this evening bring on her heat early, he mindspoke with Abigeru and order the castle locked down." He watched the look of concern pass between the two men as they sit in front of him.

From his position leaning against the wall Shinichi came to attention ready to attack anything endangering the castle.

"He believes this maybe a trap of some type," Jiro said, as he watched as the knowledge that for the next few days Sesshoumaru-sama would be unavailable to lead his armies and the village and castle could be endanger came over their faces.

He gave each of them their orders. "Otoya, double your guards along the walls and place guards along the cliff facing."

He then turned to Saita, "Saita order your guards to the village and bring the villagers to the castle. And when the villagers arrive make sure that a member of the guard speaks for each or they are not to enter.

"Shinichi, after the villagers are in, lock the castle down, no one in or out, besides the patrols."

He leaned forward, "Concerns?"

"Yes, before the villagers come to the castle have them gather any food they have. The castle stores will hold for about two months during a siege but after that we�ll need extra food. I recently check the wells, and they�re find, we�ll have water but enough food�" Shinichi looked worried as he added the numbers in his mind.

"Saita, have your guards gather the villagers food as well then. I want the castle locked down by morning." The guard captains left the room to carry out their orders. Jiro stood and walked to the window and reached behind the desk and pulled the tassel cord to summon a servant.

Jaken entered the room and called self importantly, "Sesshoumaru-sama, Sesshoumaru-sama, you called Jak�you�re not Sesshoumaru-sama. What are you in his study?"

~ Why was Jiro in Sesshoumaru-sama study? I don�t like that dog, Jiro, he thinks he so smart, and he tries to take my place by Sesshoumaru-sama side. ~ Jaken thought jealously, as he looked angrily at Jiro, just wait until he informs Sesshoumaru about him being in here.
