Akira woke up with a bad headache the next morning. As she sat up she put her hand to her head. Her already sensitive ears and the headache she now had made her ears twitch with even a small noise.

Beside Akira, Rin was still asleep. Even though she had a full night's rest, she looked worn out and sick. Her face was pale and her eyes had dark shadows around them. She appeared to be sucking her thumb, a habit that she hadn't grown out of yet.

'I feel as if I was hit in the head with... something really big..." Akira thought, looking down at the human girl, 'She looks sick or something.'

Rin suddenly sat up in her bed. She rubbed at her eyes. She turned around to see Akira in the bed beside hers, and she gave her a clumsy smile, since she was still half asleep. Meanwhile, in his own quarters, Sesshoumaru looked out his window as he brushed his hair. He caught a glimpse of something lying on its side outside of the castle walls. Sesshoumaru came to the conclusion that it was a dead, or almost dead animal. "What is a rotting animal doing in my presence...how revolting..."

"I thank you for helping me... but I'm not going soft or anything" Akira said, looking away from the human girl. 'When these wounds are healed I'm outta here...' she thought.

Sesshoumaru formally walked out into the courtyard and opened the front gate to see whatever was lying in front of his castle. It was the fox that was following the girl earlier. Sesshoumaru took a closer look at it. "...Dead...it looks like the minions of the underworld are almost done devouring it...disgusting..."

"Tell me human, what happened to my pack" Akira asked, not looking at the girl.

Rin merely looked at the girl with a confused expression, and she just shrugged. Suddenly, Sesshoumaru and Jaken had entered the room. Jaken was hauling the carcass of the fox found outside. "...Is this yours?" said Sesshoumaru with a cold tone.

As Akira looked over at the two demons her eyes widened a bit. "So this is what happened to them... my pack" she said, "I never should have sent him back." Akira stood up and walked over to the dead fox and the demon that was carrying him.

Everyone just stared at the girl and the dead fox. Sesshoumaru had a cold stare, Jaken stared in disgust, and Rin had tears forming in her eyes. The atmosphere was so tense that no one dared to break the silence.

"Take him away, I don't want to see him" Akira said, turning away from the fox, her voice holding not the slightest bit of emotion.

Sesshoumaru payed his attention to Jaken. "Jaken...incinerate it...and do that in the mountains..." Sesshoumaru was making his way out of the room. "Rin...there is no reason to shed tears for this fox. Save them..." "Aye mi'lord! Will do!" Jaken continued to haul the carcass. He muttered something about a flesh-eating disease. And while all of this was happening, Rin just knelt there, wide-eyed and confused. *Wasn't that fox her companion? How come she doesn't care?*

"I won't stay here much longer... I don't want to intrude on your lands..." Akira stated, walking to the window and looking towards the location of her own castle.

Sesshoumaru payed no attention to the girl. He looked out the window, the same direction that Akira was looking at. Above a castle, Sesshoumaru could've sworn that he saw a miasma hovering above it.

"I'll leave tomorrow... the larger wounds would be mostly healed by then... and I don't want to cause you any more trouble than I have already..." Akira said, her eyes closed. 'Naraku must've done this, now I have another reason to hunt him down...' she thought.
