Miko's P.O.V.
I woke up to the feeling of being carried. When i opened my eyes, I seen Sesshomaru carrying me. I smiled. "Sesshomaru. You can put me down now, I am awake." I said, hoping my face wasn't red. Sesshomaru just kept holding me as he continued walking. I mentally sighed. 'My stubborn Inu' I thought. When he stopped and did put me down, I say this amazing palace that I recognized as his mother's home, which I remembered was when Rin dies the second time... I didn't want to go, but I had no choice in the matter. Plus, it might have changed, seeming as Kohaku isn't with us.

We went up and seen his mother. I was about to bow to her, when Sesshomaru stopped me from doing so. I looked at him with a raised brow, wondering what he was doing and questioning if he was going nuts. But then again, this is Sesshomaru, so he has his reasons for all of his actions. So I did as he silently told me and didn't bow, but that doesn't mean I won't avoid eye contact. Look into the eyes of a normal wild dog, and you just challenged what could possibly kill you. I don't want to die, or disrespect Sesshomaru's royal name. I listened to what they were saying to each other.

"My dear son, you have grown up. Why do you have two humans traveling with you?" Sesshomaru's mother, Inu Kimi, commented. I knew where this was going, and I didn't like it. I drowned out the rest of the conversation, because I knew what they would say. I came back into focus when I saw the Underworld Beast. I grabbed Rin and held her close, that didn't seem to work, because both Rin and me got taken to the underworld. When we got to the underworld, I held Rin as close as I could, praying to every holy being out there that Rin would at least be alive and well. I didn't care about me, cause everyone back home hated me.

Home... what is home to me now? I don't remember much... I am so tired... maybe I'll take a nap and let Rin wake me up when this is all over... sleep well world...

Sesshomaru's P.O.V.

Damn it all! When both of them are finally okay, they get into danger again. I jumped into the Underworld and ran after the hell hound. 'I'm not going to let anything take away what is mine. I promised myself after the Naraku incident that I wouldn't lose those two again, I am not going to break it now. I saw the hound and cut it open. Catching both of them. Rin was fine and well, but Miko wasn't. She was breath, but she looked pale and tired. The Underworld is going to kill her at this rate. I need to get out of here quickly, if I am to save these two.

I started walking with Rin walking beside me and me holding the sleeping Miko. I stopped and listened. Miko wasn't breathing, before I could try to see what was wrong, the beast of the Underworld gate took a swing at me, I dodged, but the beast got a hold of Miko and took her away. I sent Rin to the land of the living and went after the beast. Their is no way I was going to lose what is rightfully mine. She belongs to me, and no one else.

I got to the gate of the Underworld, I saw it raising Miko towards the gate. I felt my anger fuel me as I used one of my swords to destroy it, catching Miko before she fell to the ground. "Miko. Wake up." I told her, hoping that she would wake up. I got nothing. Not even a breath out of her. I felt my heart stop as realization came to me. Miko was dead, for the second time... I can't bright her back this time. I felt something wet going down the side of my face. I realized, I was crying.

*time skip!*

I placed Miko down gently as I glared at my mother. "You planned this?" I asked her. I wanted an answer, I don't care how I got that answer, but I wanted it. I wanted that answer now. "Did you really think she would survive in the Underworld? She was already resurrected by Tenseiga once." I was about to leave, when I heard a gasp. I turned around and looked at Miko. 'Wait a second... was that... Miko?'

I am so sorry my Kitsune pups! I had lost inspiration for a long time, and then there was exams. But, I will be doing my best to work on it again. Please, have faith in me, I am truly doing my best. I also deeply apologize for it being so short.
