The next morning did not look too good it looked as if there was going to be a very bad storm coming. Regardless the group packed up their camp and set out. At mid-day the clouds were black as night.
Kagome sensing the approaching storm called out, "Inuyasha do you think that maybe we should find shelter it looks like there is going to be a bad storm."
Inuyasha looked to the sky and gave her a nod, "Yeah let's find a cave to make camp in."
With that Kagome climbed onto his back as Sango, Miroku, and Shippo climbed onto a transformed Kirara's back. They took off looking for a suitable shelter from the storm that was sure to be horrible. Once they found a cave that was big enough Sango and Kagome set to setting up the camp as Inuyasha went to hunt and Miroku went to gather fire wood and Shippo went to get some water with Kirara. As soon as everyone was back in the cave it began to rain.
Kagome and Sango chatted happily as Kagome prepared their dinner. After about an hour of being in the cave Inuyasha began to growl with his hand on the hilt of Tetsusaiga. Concerned Kagome called out, "What is it Inuyasha?"
He did not even turn to look at her as he said one word "Sesshomaru."
Kagome's eyes widened in surprise as thoughts raced through her head the most prominent being why is he here? Sure enough after a few moments Sesshomaru was standing at the cave entrance a shivering Rin standing just behind his leg and a glaring Jaken behind the other. Kagome took one look at Rin a gasped she was soaking wet standing there just dripping water everywhere. Mind made up Kagome stood up ignoring the growl Inuyasha sent her way.
She looked Sesshomaru dead in the eyes, "I can get Rin cleaned up, dry, and warm if you will allow it."
Sesshomaru looked down his nose at her but nodded his head. With a nod she smiled at Rin and said, "Come on Rin let's get you cleaned up and dry."
Rin nodded and took Kagome's hand. "Miroku could you finish dinner so that myself, Sango, and Rin can go bathe in the hot spring"
Miroku told her he would. After that was taken care of she gathered her bathing supplies clothes and an oversized t-shirt she had for Rin to wear then made her way to the spring the other two girls following.
Inuyasha was in a horrible mood it had been pouring rain for a week and they were stuck in a cave with his bastard brother all because Kagome would not let him make him leave because of the brat Rin. He was not happy one bit about any of it. He continued to sit in his corner growl and glare at everyone.
Kagome sighed once again she was getting tired of Inuyasha's attitude. She hated being in this cave too simply because she could not drop her concealment while here. Another thing that was bothering her was that Sesshomaru was constantly watching her and she could not figure out why. There was no way she could know that her scent was the same but was missing the demonic part of her.
Sesshomaru had been staring at her trying to figure out why she had the exact same scent as the demoness he had scented a week ago. The only thing missing was the demonic part but how is it possible the girl never showed any skill in controlling her powers so how could it be.
Sango and Miroku had been sitting by the fire watching each of the three and were coming up with all sorts of different ideas in their heads. Most prominent in both of their thoughts was is the great Lord Sesshomaru of the Western Lands human hater interested in their little miko friend. They could only keep these ideas in their heads in fear that if they spoke aloud Sesshomaru would kill them.
Rin, Shippo, and Kirara where all curled up on Kagome's sleeping bag, Rin and Shippo coloring while Kirara watched them, AhUn curled around them in a crescent shape to keep them warm with aid of the fire.
Jaken was watching his lord closely he could tell that his lord was thinking on something deeply that concern the miko. He just could not figure out what it was. Was his lord interested in her in some way or was he curious of her. He just could not figure out why his lord was so enthralled with the miko. What was so fascinating about the miko that it drew his lord's attention? With a long suffering sigh he decided not to ponder it any longer what would happen would happen and there was nothing he could do about it so instead he looked out of the cave mouth and watched the downpour of rain.
