@~*@~*@~*

Mesami held her side and shut her eyes in pain. 'I have to find a stream or village fast I'm going to black out soon.'

Mesami had gotten into a fight with a large, full-grown bear youkai, which turned out to have five Shikon no Tama shards. She had gotten a large wound on her stomach and a few minor wounds before she had defeated the youkai. Afterwards she had gone to the village the youkai had been terrorizing and was attacked by the villagers. Mesami hadn't wanted to kill them so she had been injured again. She ran into the forest using the last of her strength.

Mesami didn't know it, but she had stumbled into the Western Lands and their lord, Sesshoumaru, was on patrol with his servant, Jaken (nasty little toad), and ward, Rin.

Mesami's vision was getting hazy. 'No, not now. I can smell a stream.' Then it all went black.

Sesshoumaru sensed a strong demon in his land, but something was wrong with it. He decided to check it out, but didn't want to put Rin in danger. Then the demon's power suddenly dropped. 'Hmm, I guess it's not a threat. This Sesshoumaru could defend Rin against it.'

When Sesshoumaru and his group arrived at their destination they were shocked. A demoness was collapsed on the ground. She had long blackish hair and two dog-ears of the same shade on her head. Her long furry tail was dirty with mud, and blood, and the fur was plastered in clots. Her clothes were filthy and her katana looked cleaner than she did. Every part of her skin that was visible was covered in blood or dirt. She was barely breathing and seemed to have several large wounds on her stomach and sides.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, what's wrong with the pretty lady?" Rin asked with the innocence only a child could possess.

"She's resting. Let's go." Sesshoumaru answered coolly.

"But Sesshoumaru-sama the pretty lady's bleeding." Rin pointed out.

Inwardly Sesshoumaru growled, he'd never be able to get out of helping her now. Rin was definitely his weakness.

Mesami walked through the mist towards a silvery light. When she reached her hand out and touched it, there was a white flash. She was suddenly on a cliff, with lush green grass. There were trees surrounding the clearing. It was a clear, starry midnight. On the edge of the cliff, gazing up at the stars, a giant white inu was sitting, oblivious to its surroundings. Mesami felt different so she looked at herself.

Mesami was in her animalistic form. She had never been in it so she studied herself carefully. She was slightly smaller than the other dog. Mesami had silky silver/white fur with other colors, such as silvery red/brown, mixed in. 'Those must come from my other demon sides, not inu.'

When Mesami looked up again the dog was still looking up at the stars and moon. Then it started turning humanoid. When it was in its human-like form it had long silver hair. The dog turned human turned and all Mesami could see before a bright white light engulfed her again were two beautiful golden eyes.

This time Mesami was in a cave that somehow had light in it. Mesami searched for the light. She found the source of it coming from the body of a woman in warrior's attire.

"Mesami, I am Midoriko, one of your ancestors. I have come to help you with your miko powers. You did not now it, but there is a small legend about your family. I will tell you about it since you are involved.

"After I passed away my daughter, Mayonaka, left the village we once lived in. She traveled to shrine that was in search of a priestess with miko powers.

"Mayonaka lived there for a few years when one day, when she was 20, a demon attacked the village. It was very powerful and was about to strike the final blow against Mayonaka when another demon saved her. That demon was Inukano

"Inukano fought with the demon. It was a tough battle. In the end Inukano won, but almost lost his life in the process. Mayonaka nursed him back to health and fell in love with him. She was with him all the time, refusing to leave him even to sleep. The only reason she survived while Inukano was healing was because he would force her to eat. Sometimes Inukano would have to refuse to eat until she did.

"Inukano fell in love with her too. Mayonaka once asked why he stayed around. He answered, "I'm waiting for someone special." Mayonaka didn't know he meant her. She went to her room and cried. Inukano smelled her tears and went to her to ask what was wrong. Mayonaka gathered her courage and told Inukano she loved him. Inukano kissed her and told her his feelings. That night they became mates. Inukano marked her.

"The mating of Inukano and Mayonaka created an enchantment of sorts. They, of course, did not know about it. I only know some of the effects of the enchantment. One of them is that the only time a female in your family descended from them will have animal ears is if she is a miko. The miko would have great power that would first be released when she was seriously injured. They would heal her. Your powers are going to be released soon."

When Midoriko's story was finished Mesami thought about it. Her new powers would be great aid in getting revenge on her family. On the other hand she could end up purifying herself.

'Oh well, that's a risk I'm willing to take.'

"So… I'll have to train my powers?" Mesami asked.

"I'll help when I can, but you're about to wake up now. You'll be in a lot of pain since your powers are being released."

//: End Dream Sequence: \\

Mesami woke up and screamed in pain. It felt like she was exploding on the inside. Then like fire and needles had replaced her blood. Mesami screamed in agony once more. Then, slowly, the pain died away and she noticed she wasn't in the forest anymore. Mesami slowly sat up from a soft bed and looked around. She was in a large room that had two big oak doors with carvings on them. On the left one was a dragon curved gracefully with its tail up. On the right was a dog staring into the water of a pond.

The bed Mesami was lying in was a canopy bed, with lavender silk sheets. The bedposts were obviously hand carved and had many different designs on them.

Mesami was snapped out of her observations by the door opening. A little human girl ran in with a worried expression on her face.

"Kirei-onna, are you okay? Rin heard you yell and was worried and-" Rin was cut off by Mesami.

"It's alright, Rin, I'm okay. My name's Mesami."

"Rin's name is Rin. Sesshoumaru-sama brought you here."

Mesami paled. Lord Sesshoumaru, the lord of the Western Lands? Oh this was not good. Hadn't he allied with Naraku once?

'Not good, not good, not good.' Was all Mesami could think. Then…

"Rin, leave. I need to speak with our guest."

If it was possible, Mesami paled even more. He would definitely ask unwanted questions.

After Rin left, Sesshoumaru started his interrogation.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my lands?" Was his first question.

"Mesami and I don't know, I was trying to avoid you lords. I was too injured to bother where I was going."

"Why are you avoiding the lords?"

Mesami mentally berated herself.

"I don't think that's any of your business."

In a flash Sesshoumaru had her throat. He expected her to beg for her life and to see and feel her fear. All Sesshoumaru saw was Mesami's defiance.

"You can kill me, but it won't do you any good, only cause a war." She told him.

"What do you mean?" Sesshoumaru asked letting go of her neck.

"Are you sure you're not a neko?"

"What?"

"Nothing. The reason it would cause a war is that I have a lot of family. I'm not pure inu youkai as you can see or smell.

Sesshoumaru discreetly smelled her. She wasn't lying. Her scent was composed of many different scents, from the pine scent of a kitsune to the floral scent of a neko. Neko, inu, kitsune, the list went on and on.

"Do tell." Sesshoumaru demanded coolly.

Mesami took a breath. This might take a while and she would have to be careful not to reveal anything she didn't want to.
