"Ow." she said when she became conscious again, she rubbed her head and sat up, when she opened her eyes she couldn't believe that she was seeing. It looked like feudal Japan!

"You're awake!" Rin exclaimed. "I know I already asked you this, but what's your name? Your real name?" Rin was sitting next to her holding a flower and plucking off its petals.

"My birth name?" she asked, Rin nodded, "Laveny (La-van-ee), what's your name?" Laveny asked though she already knew the answer, but she thought it was proper and polite to have Rin tell her, her name.

"I'm Rin, and that's Jaken!" she exclaimed pointing to a small toad-like creature over by Ah-Un, "That's Ah-Un, and Lord Sesshoumaru is, well, I don't know exactly he comes and goes." Laveny nodded, then suddenly got stiff.

"Where's Kanashii?" she asked frantically.

"That dog? Its over with Jaken, it seems to be attached to him." Rin answered, Laveny relaxed.

"And Kanashii is a boy, not it."

"Oh sorry, I didn't know." Rin said sadly.

"Its alright." she said laying down on her back. She stared at the blue sky for a moment, then the panic seeped in. 'How am I going to get home?' she thought, there seemed to be no rational answer to that question, and for once in Laveny's life she wanted sleep to come and pull her in, take her away, though it seemed to only be a short time after midday she wanted to sleep. She wanted to wake up from this dream.

"No!," Laveny heard Jaken suddenly exclaim, "Bad dog, NO!" Laveny looked over just in time to see Jaken whack Kanashii over the head with his staff.

"Kanashii!" Laveny hollered, slightly startling Jaken, "Over now." Kanashii obeyed and trotted over to his master's side. 'What am I going to do? They wont let me follow, that's for sure. So how am I to get back?' Laveny thought, she started to lay back down but brushed against something rather soft, she looked up. Standing in front of her was Sesshoumaru. Laveny was at a loss of words as she stared up at the rather tall man.

"Get up." he ordered. Laveny practically jumped to her feet, Sesshoumaru eyed her suspiciously. Then without another word, walked over towards Ah-Un.

"Don't worry," Rin said slightly startling Laveny because she didn't know Rin was standing so close, "He's like that to everyone. Come on, if we don't hurry they'll leave us." Rin grabbed a hold of Laveny's arm and pulled her towards Ah-Un and Jaken.

"Um.." Laveny started reluctantly walking with Rin. "I really think I should be getting back."

"Well, where do you live? Perhaps we'll pass it." Rin said hopefully.

"The western world." Laveny said, Rin giggled.

"You mean the Western Lands! Lord Sesshoumaru rules there!" Rin exclaimed happy that she was speaking of her lord.

"Rin!" Jaken exclaimed, "She means she's not from these lands!"

"Oh." Rin said sadly putting her head down.

"I know I wont be able to get back anytime soon." Laveny said, wrapping her arm around Rin as they continued to walk, "I'll stay, I mean, if I'm allowed." Both Rin and Laveny looked up towards Sesshoumaru.

"Don't fall behind." was all he said back to them. It was all he needed to say to answer the question that hung in the air.

The now four person group had walked for almost 3 hours before they crossed paths with a small stream. Laveny shook Rin awake.

"Are you thirsty?" she asked Rin. She nodded and jumped off Ah-Un's back.

Laveny hadn't realized how humid it was in Japan, or how much your bum could hurt if you sat for 3 hours. She promised herself, and her bum, that next time she would rotate from sitting and walking.

"M'lord," Jaken said walking up to Sesshoumaru, "shall we camp here for the night?" Sesshoumaru didn't answer instead he turned and walked away from the imp, "M'lord! What is it m'lord?!" still no answer, Jaken had gotten used to this sort of treatment from his master. Instead of following him, Jaken just sighed, closed his eyes, and slumped himself under a tree.

Barely 2 feet away Rin started giggling hysterically, Jaken turned to see Laveny tickling her.

"Rin!" Jaken exclaimed standing and walking over to them, "I did not know you where so ticklish!"

"Master Jaken," Rin asked getting on her hands and knees, "Are you ticklish?" she said while poking him in the shoulder.

"I am not!" he exclaimed standing tall.

"Are you sure?" Laveny asked sneaking up behind him and poking him in the ribs. Jaken's eyes bulged. "Oh!" Laveny said, "So you areticklish!" she poked him once more in the ribs, then, suddenly Jaken burst into a fit of hysterical laughs.

Not very far away Sesshoumaru sat under a treelistening closely to the three. This girl, he thought, this girl brings chaos with her. He sensed that there had to be some demon blood in her, perhaps even more than his half-brother.

...

He tried shoving the thought of his brother out of his mind, though he despised the thought of a half-demon traveling with him, but still he felt a tiny ping of happiness, because he hadn't heard Rin, or Jaken for that matter, laugh so hard in a very long time.
