My second attempt at an Inuyasha fic! Yay!

Wish Upon A Star
A small girl lay on the back of a two headed dragon gazing at the starts. Next to her a toad youkai sat on a small rock, attempting not to fall asleep. Both of the traveling companions were waiting for their master to return from a journey. The girl's dark brown orbs watched the pitch black sky as dark purple clouds crawled around sluggishly, trying to look for the moon so they could blot out its light, except there was no moon tonight, only the dark abyss of space. But the small girl's eyes caught a small glint in the otherwise empty sky.
"Jaken, look!" shouted the girl. This caused the half asleep youkai to be jolted awake. He jumped onto his feet, grabbed his staff, and started shouting if Lord Sesshomaru was back.
"No silly, it's the first star of the night," laughed the girl.
"Oh," replied an uninterested Jaken. He once again sat down on his rock.
"You know, Jaken, that if you wish on the first star of the night, it'll come true," informed a smiling girl.
"Really? I didn't know that Rin," replied a suddenly enthusiastic Jaken. 'If that's true, then I can wish for anything I want…' "I wish that…"
"Stop!" cried Rin. "You can't tell anyone the wish, or else it won't come true," explained the girl.
"Oh," answered Jaken. 'I wish…for Lord Sesshomaru to kill Naraku and get the Tetsusaiga from that Inuyasha so that he can have some peace of mind.' "I'm going to go to sleep. Wake me up when Lord Sesshomaru comes," yawned the youkai, his head resting on his chest as he stayed on his small rock.
"Hai," whispered Rin. She started stroking the twin necks of the dragons. "Ah-Un, you're tired, aren't you? You can sleep, I'll watch for Lord Sesshomaru," offered Rin. At this the dragon snorted in reply and rested down its heads to sleep.
"I wish for Lord Sesshomaru to be happy, forever, and ever," whispered Rin. She lay on Ah-Un's back as she waited for Sesshomaru to return from his search for Naraku. Her eyes started to sag when she heard the faint sound of shoes slapping against the bare ground. She immediately sprang up and found that her beloved Sesshomaru was limping and was drenched in blood. "Lord Sesshomaru, you're hurt!" cried Rin. She ran over to Sesshomaru and hugged him. Ah-Un had awakened at the smell of Sesshomaru's blood and Jaken woke up after hearing Rin, who was sobbing into Sesshomaru's sleeve.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you need bandages!" shouted Jaken. He fumbled around the pockets in his robes, looking for salves and bandages. While he was doing this, Sesshomaru was stroking Rin's hair.
"Stop crying Rin," commanded Sesshomaru, his voice void of emotions. "You'll never become stronger if you cry. And, it saddens me to see you do so." At this, Rin stopped crying and whispered one phrase;
"I love you, Lord Sesshomaru."
"I…love you to Rin," responded Sesshomaru. But his response wasn't heard by the sound asleep Rin. He then picked her up bridal style and placed her on Ah-Un's back. He then looked up into the abyss of space and saw one star that shined brightly, and it took away the lonliness and gnawing emptiness of the darkness. When Jaken had finally found the bandages and salve, Sesshomaru was sprawled out on the moist grass, sleeping with a smile on his face.
