Miko's P.O.V.

I felt light, I felt like I was invincible. 'Am I dead?' I thought. I suddenly felt something rush through me, before I felt my body become heavy. "Hn..." I groaned, as my eyes fluttered open. "I-I'm alive?" I asked out loud, not expecting an answer. "Mommy!" I heard a girl voice as I was tackled. I opened my eyes to see Rin. "Oh my Gods! Rin! You're okay!" I yelled happily as I hugged her close.

I looked up to see a crying Jaken, which was hilarious, Sesshomaru, looking cold and heartless as ever, and Sesshomaru's mother, Inu Kimi, looking at me like she wanted me dead. I looked her dead in the eyes, silently challenging her. I was starting to get really tired of dying and coming back to life. "You're very foolish human," Inu Kimi stated bluntly, obviously despising me. "You follow my son with such pride, not knowing your place. You're not worthy of my son."

That made my blood boil, 'how dare she insult me like that? I don't care who the hell she is, she has no right-' my thoughts were cut short from an angered growl. I look over to see Sesshomaru, eyes red. "We will be leaving now." Sesshomaru announced, walking away. I quickly picked up Rin and ran after him, leaving poor Jaken to run after us. We got to a safe place far away from Sesshomaru's home. I looked up at him. "Sesshomaru? Why are you so angry back there? Was it something I said?" I asked. Before I could ask more questions, Jaken hit me in the back of the head with his two headed stick.

I winced and held the back of my head. "Ow! What the hell was that for?!" I yelped as I looked at Jaken. Jaken glared at me, "never question Lord Sesshomaru! The Lord has no time to answer-" Jaken screeched, becoming silent as a rock hits him in the back of the head. I laughed as I put Rin on Ah-Un. "You had that coming. Besides, I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't my head that's gonna be on a spike." I commented casually, walking beside Sesshomaru as we all left Jaken behind.

*a time skip cause of mating season*

I sat in the grass, looking up at the moon in the sky. I was so confused, I know I don't belong here, but where do I belong? Do I have a home? What about if I have parents? Everything was starting to become so fuzzy, it was giving me a headache. I started playing with the flowers in the field, remembering when I first met Rin. So sweet and out-going. Not caring if she's traveling with a very well feared demon. I didn't even know what my relationship with Sesshomaru was. Does he love me? Am I just a toy? What would he do if I just... vanished?

I decided to get some sleep, I was starting to get a headache, and I was just breaking my own heart with my own thoughts. Though that didn't stop the couple of tears that went down my face as I closed my eyes, falling into a dreamless slumber. I woke up to the sharp pain in my back. I cried out in extreme pain. I was chained down on my knees. I could feel the blood dripping down my back.

"It's so nice having you back again. You have caused quite the hassle in getting you." A voice stated, laughing at me. I held my tongue, knowing if I wanted to get out alive, I need to be quiet. Apparently, the voice didn't like that, as I felt another painful sting on my back. I tried to, but a tear managed to slip down my cheek and land on the ground.

"He'll never come for you, you aren't worth it." The voice said. I felt the presence leave as I finally let out a loud, agonizing sob. 'I'm going to die here... i can't leave... Sesshomaru won't come for me, I'm just a human...' my thoughts grew darker and darker as I started giving up. I remembered a song I used to listen to when I was younger, and started singing.

"Dancing bears, painted wings. Things I almost remember, and a song someone sings. Once upon a December." I started, barely a whisper. I remembered that time in the hotspring with Sesshomaru, but it was slowly fading away from me. "Someone holds me safe and warm. Horses prance through a silver storm. Figures dancing gracefully, across my memory..." I kept going, feeling the warmth go through my body as I remember Sesshomaru carrying me as I slept.

"Far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember. Things my heart used to know, things it yearns to remember..." I felt my memories with Sesshomaru going fuzzy, like I was dreaming. "And a song, someone sings... once upon a December..." I finished as I closed my eyes, feeling the warmth leave my body and exhaustion consumes me. Letting me fall into a freezing slumber.

I apologize so much for the late update. I know, I can't excuse what I have done by making you wait, but I'm gonna try my best. I hope you all enjoyed this small update. More coming soon! I know I skipped the 2k special. So I'm going to make the 3k special longer than normal to make up for it. Take care and stay safe my Kitsune pups!
