Wind rippled through golden fur, almost hiding the figure that clung to the large cat's back. Hands gripped fistfuls of fur while pressing their face into the warmth it offered to keep out the harsh cold of the early morning mist the neko decided to fly through. Even if in the midst of panic and pain Kagome pulled in her aura as her companion had so that they could escape without being followed.

Through the wind, she heard the soft whine of the feline and although no voice mixed with the wind one pushed against her mind. 'Are you alright little mistress?' It was entirely female. It was soft and rich with a sultry quality and yet so gentle.

"Kirara?" Kagome asked into her fur.

There was another sigh. 'Yes little mistress, are you hurt?'

Shaking away her surprise Kagome nuzzled deeper into the warmth of Kirara's fur. "My whole body hurts, and my powers aren't working,"

There was a sad mew and then only the wind. Exhausted by the pain and anxiety, Kagome drifted to sleep gripping the fur of the two-tail, clinging to her only friend in this foreign environment.

Matching heads of silver hair swiveled, separate shades of gold looking back towards their home, now miles out of sight. And yet the air hummed with power; miko-ki and youki clashing fiercely against one another. But to both their horror Natsuki's youki rose with the power, her aura fanning out over the area.

No words needed to be spoken as both males raced back. Together they were nothing more than streaks of silver through the landscape both frantic to get to Natsuki, the need to protect their pack fueling their current bursts of speed.

Reaching the palace they raced through the halls towards Natsuki, Sesshomaru bursting into the room in time to see a twin-tailed neko flying through the hole that had been created in the ruins of the shattered balcony doors.

Natsuki looked on in horror her feet carrying her to follow, but a force pulling her backward had her turning to look at her son and his grip on her wrist. "Release me Sesshomaru," she demanded, tugging at her wrist that he held firmly.

"No, you can't it's too dangerous!" He snapped.

"Where is the girl?" Inutaisho asked as he looked out the missing doors and back towards the room, nose twitching as he took in the scents of the room. Fear heavied the air, nearly choking him with its intensity.

"She took off on the neko! We have to get her back, I promised Midoriko to look after her daughter," Natsuki stated, her voice tinged with panic. Even as they spoke, she could no longer feel the girl's aura, and at the speed the neko took off, Natsuki feared if she could find them.

"So she is Midoriko's daughter," Inutaisho hummed, his mind trying to put a name to the familiar scent of the feline.

"And Koroshiya's," she added making the inu general turn. Koroshiya had been his finest general and oldest friend, his death had been a surprise. And now to find he had been mated and now had a child with said mate made Inutaisho wonder how poorly a friend he had been.

"We must find her," Natsuki insisted, and Inutaisho nodded.

"Mother it's too dangerous," Sesshomaru tighten his grip making his mother turn narrowed ochroid eyes towards him. "Whomever this girl is, she is a miko! She could kill you," he stated not backing down from his mother's growing anger.

"Unhand me pup," Her aura flared pushing down on him. She was still stronger than him, and the force nearly made his knees buckle. Everything in him was screaming to back down, to give in to his mother and female alpha but he stood firm against her.

"No," Her eye bleed pink as her aura grew in anger whipping wildly around her in such a way it picked up her hair.

"Back down pup!" He turned his eyes to his father angry gold looking back at him. His aura also flared pushing down just as forcefully as his mother's. "These matters do not concern you!"

"Yes, they do! That bitch is a miko, mother has no business going after her!" He growled back.

With a yank of her arm, Sesshomaru was forced to release Natsuki's wrist. With it free she growled her displeasure before disappearing through the ruins of the balcony doors. About to go after her Sesshomaru was pushed to the ground, his father looming over him with fiery gold eyes staring down at him. "You misstep your place pup," he growled. "Now stay,"

Sesshomaru turned his gaze unable to meet his father's in a small show of submission. He could not beat his father, just as he could not beat his mother. He would have to give in.

A gust of wind signaled Inutaisho's leave, but Sesshomaru remained on the floor a deep growl rumbling in his chest his eyes flashing before he stalked his way to his room to await his parents return.

Catching up to his mate, Inutaisho struggled. Panic and turmoil swirling amongst her raging aura. Golden eyes swept the skies just quickly as they swept the ground far below.

"I can't find her," she stressed in a panic.

"It is alright my love-"

Twirling around Natsuki cut him off. "How?" She throws up her arms, eyes frantic with worry. "The pup is gone! She's confused and in pain! How-"

He pressed a finger to her lips. "The girl is with Kirara, the neko would not abandon Midoriko's cave for long,"
