[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

“I have a job for you.” Kina pressed the phone to her ear to the phone in order to hear the baritone voice of her agent.

“I'm listening.” She grabbed a pen and pencil so she could write down the information.

“There is a small village just south of Tokyo called Toyo. Contained with in that village is the frozen form of a very powerful Inuyoukai. I believe you've heard of him? His name is Lord Sesshomaru of the western land.”

“Yeah I've heard of him. What do you need me to do?” She tapped her pen impatiently.

“My, my, someone is in a bit of a rush.” She growled angrily.

“Just cut to the chase because if you don't your wasting my time.”

“Alright, don't get you knickers in a bunch. There have been an increased number of demon attacks on the village. Each time the demon tried to revive and absorb him to get his power. If any of them had succeeded, they would have become the strongest demon ever. Right now it is he who wields that honor. I need you to set him free.” He paused to hear her oncoming argument.

“You want me to WHAT? Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND? He would kill me just for touching him not to mention all the other humans in the area. How do you exspect me to release him anyway?”

“First, no I'm not crazy. Second, he won't kill you because he can't. If you free him he owes you a debt and he never goes back on his word. Third, everyone has heard of the legend of Sesshomaru. The one thing most people don't know is that only a female who is part miko and youkai can release him from his prison.” He paused again waiting for her response.

“So I'm one of the only ones who can do it. Alright, I expect my pay as usual. I think I will charge extra this time. How does about 3 million up front and 3 more when I'm done sound?”

“Perfect. The money is already in your account. I expect to hear from you tomorrow at the latest. You should have this sorted out by then. Good-bye.” Kina hung up the phone.

`So I have one day to wrap this up. I better get it done today.' “Come Kita.” She called her black two tailed fire neko to her side. The cat, which had been curled up on the black suede sofa got to her feet and stretched. She hopped onto the floor and followed after her mistress. “Alright girl, we have a job that needs to be done by tomorrow. I think we'll leave in an hour. I just have to change and get my weapon.”

“Alright, do you think I could eat before we go I'm starved?” Kina looked down at he cat and sighed.

“You're always eating you know that? I think you need to go on a diet before you get to fat to be of any use at all.” Kita hissed loudly in protest.

“Are you calling me fat? Why, I never, in all my life, been so insulted!” She stuck her tail in the air and walked into the kitchen.

Kina giggled loudly before walking to her own room to dress and shower.

“Come on Kita, It's time to go!” Kina shouted loudly as she walked out of her weapons room. She wore a traditional blue demon slayer uniform adorned with a giant claymore slung over her back. At her side, a hung a mace as well as a few throwing stars.

“I'm right here let's go.” Kina walked out the door followed Kita who transformed as soon as that got outside. Kina locked the door

before climbing onto Kita's back and flying off towards the village.

Kita sniffed the air as they neared the village.

“Kina, there is something wrong. There is no trace of a human scent in the village. Not even an older one.” Kina nodded her head.

“I know. I smell it too. We need to land on the outskirts of the village just to be on the safe side. I apologize but we cannot stop to find out happened. Our best bet is to get in and out with Sesshomaru as fast as we can, got it?”

“Yeah”, Kina sighed unhappily. “I wish we could though.”

“I know but we can't. Lets go.” She said hopping off of Kitas' back and landing in a near by tree. She jumped onto the ground with the fire neko at her heel.

The village was decorated with white banners adorned with blue crescent moons. There were flowers hung delicately about the homes and shops. Lanters lite the entire village leading up to a large Shrine. The smell of fried meats and vegetables filled the air and tickled their noses. Despite all of this beauty, not a single soul was in site.

"Well, looks like they were having a celebration. I wonder what happened to them all." Kina stared at the the decorations. "I believe that his body is in that shrine. Stay here and be my look out. I'll go and resurrect the dead TaiYoukai." Kina ran before Kita could protest, but didn't miss her angery growls.

Inside the shrine was decorated with the same banneres as outside. The walls were covered in kanji and there were even some latin rightings. In the center of the room sat a large stone incased which incased the body of Sesshoamru. On it was written...

Here lies the Lord frozen in time Only released by chanting this Rhyme

eximo mihi modo shinko koi masayume, aikaego inservio okeru naraku opus operis

But here is the key that I must say, If you want this Lord releases this day

Only a Hanyou with miko smarts, can unlock the key to this demons heart

Kina read the word outside releasing a giant blast of her miko powers on the stone. It cracked and split, shooting power of its own out and hitting her. She shook from the feeling of power it sent threw her. Her body was surrounded by and unatural blue light andshe could feel the power dripping from her entire beings. She screamed as it became stronger before it passing out.

"Kina, wake up! Kina? Kina!" Kita nuzzled her unconscance frinds form and licked her face. Kina turned over and started snoring softly. Kita looked up at the silent InuYoukai. His gold eyes watched the strange kitsune who lay sleeping on the ground. Had she been the one who brought him back? How? There were only three people that he new of that could do that and she wasn't one of them. He shook his head and walked over to her.

"Kumo, get up." He spoke emotionlessldy, ignoring the growling neko who sat protectively next to her.
