Hey there - thanks for all the reviews so far, they really give me hope with this story. I'm going to try and update this story every weekend as i'm constantly bogged down with homework during the week.

Disclaimer: I mentioned before i didn't own this and i don't think i ever will.

Anyway here's the next chap!

Chapter 2

"Sesshomaru-sama, which way are we going to go now?" The black haired girl looked at both paths, trying to guess which one the taiyoukai would go down.

"Silly ningen!! Don't question Sesshomaru-sama!!" The toad demon raised the staff to hit the girl.

"Jaken. This way." Jaken stop the staff and turned towards the demon lord.

"Hai, Sesshomaru-sama!!" Standing on Jaken's head, the child chased after the demon lord.

They had been travelling for a while after following a lead. It had ended up being a dead end. Naraku had eluded him again and had attacked the village his foolish brother held dear. Ah-Un nuzzled at his shoulder, bringing him out of his thoughts. The ryuuyoukai's reins were in his hand, attempting to tell him it was approach night. Looking at the sky, he noticed that the darkness was beginning to spread over the sky with the last rays of sunshine beginning to fade over the horizon.

"Sesshomaru-sama, we're not going to look for somewhere for the child to rest, are we?" Jaken looked at his lord's face.

"No. Rin can rest on Ah-Un's back." Sesshomaru continued walking as Rin hastily scrambled onto Ah-Un's back. He was planning to look out for some form of shelter that could easily be defended if some foolish youkai or ningen stumbled upon it. Even though he had a castle in the Western Lands, it wasn't easy to look for Naraku and stay in it all the time. Therefore most of his time these days was spent away from the castle looking out for any signs of Naraku reappearing.

"Sesshomaru-sama, why must we keep the ningen child in our company?" Jaken looked at the sleeping child over the fire.

"Jaken, we needn't have this conversation." Sesshomaru looked at his retainer, who gulped at his face.

"O...of...of course Sesshomaru-sama. As you wish, milord." Jaken looked away quickly and moved to the side. If anyone was going to get hurt it would not be him. He never would understand why his lord kept the girl in his care or why he saved her to begin with. But as far as he was concerned Sesshomaru was far too lenient with the child in his opinion.

"Jaken, you may as well get some rest." Sesshomaru continued to look at the sky as he spoke. Jaken didn't bother to object - in all truth he was quite tired, his little legs having to work twice as fast in order to keep up with everyone else. Closing his eyes, he fell straight asleep almost. Sesshomaru noticed as soon as Jaken began to snore. His thoughts were begin to drift again, as they had done during the entire day, mainly to memories of long ago and of a girl's smiling face. What he didn't understand was why his memories were calling to him now after all these years.

"Tsuki..." Closing his eyes, he let himself go into that world.
