Chapter
III:
Traveling
Companions
As I followed I thought steadily and kept my guard up, even though I knew it was useless against a demon of his stature. Who was this brother he had mentioned before, and why was Rin so familiar with her?
"Milord!" cried an increasingly annoying voice. The bushes rustled and out came a tiny green toad demon carrying a two-faced staff. His yellow eyes stared at me for a moment of disbelief before he backed up quickly. "You!" he cried. "The wench with Inuyasha!"
"Inuyasha?" I questioned, cocking my head to the side. "Who is this 'Inuyasha' you speak of?"
"What? You don't remember the half-breed? But that's impossible!" Wide yellow eyes still had the look of shock and surprise in them. Rin stared at me with her brown eyes.
"Does Kagome-chan feel alright?" she inquired. I nodded, not joking about the matter at hand. Rin turned her head to face a dragon-like creature with two heads; on each head was a muzzle, blocking the dragon's mouth. Rin quickly ran up to it and smiled happily.
"Ah-Un!" she cried joyfully running up to hug one of the head's neck. One head bent down to nuzzle her while the other stared at the still-walking demon. I then realized how far behind the four of us in the area had gotten and began to run towards the silver-haired man called Sesshoumaru. 'He probably hates us, the ones always slowing him down' I thought as I stared at his back.

It was about mid-morning when the relentless demon finally let the group rest. I sighed as I fell down onto the ground, my weary legs collapsing immediately. Rin walked over and sat next to me, showing me her collection of flowers she had been collecting when we were still traveling. Jaken, as I soon learned was the toad demon's name, stared at me disgustingly.
"What?" I asked, irritated at his long glances in my direction. He banged his two-faced staff into the ground, pointing at me accusingly.
"How did Sesshoumaru-sama let a woman like you come along?!" he bellowed. "What makes you of any importance to him?! You should be with the half-breed and his friends!"
"I should? And importance?" I asked once again, and Jaken screamed in a furious manner.
"Woman, have you no memory of your self?" he asked after a long, pausing minute. I nodded quickly.
"No wonder then," said a cold voice, and I turned to stare into the amber eyes of Sesshoumaru. They were piercing, glaring at me as if he was reading my mind. For a moment, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. When he finally turned, I regained my composure and turned towards Rin, who was looking at me and my bundle of wildflowers in a variety of colors.
"Rin-chan, what's this?" I asked, holding up a bell-like purple flower.
"It's called a Chinese bellflower, I think," she replied, staring at its five pointed petals and lush green stem.
"Chinese bellflower? That reminds me of something…" I pondered it, trying to wonder what it reminded me of…
Nothing came to mind though. Now I pondered something else. How did these people know who I was, or at least, seem so familiar with me? I hesitatedin asking, hoping I wouldn't regret it later. Rin's eyes stared at me as I was secluded in my thoughts. She shook my shoulder to see if I was awake.
"Kagome-chan?" she asked as she brought me back to reality.
"Huh? Yes?" I answered, looking at her.
"Are you okay?" she wondered as she took note of my strange behavior. I nodded, hoping she didn't have the capability to read my thoughts. The both of us went back to classifying the wildflowers as our break time diminished.
Soon, we were back on the road again. Again, the journey made me lost in my own thoughts. The wind blew against my face, allowing my raven hair to blow back like a kite sailing on a gentle breeze. Rin had gone on up ahead to play with the white butterflies floating aimlessly in the currents of the air. She jumped to catch one, but failed and landed. Another fluttered beside her and she targeted it next. Jaken and Ah-Un had also gone ahead, with the toad demon muttering on how I was "Infernal to be traveling with Sesshoumaru-sama…" and stuff like that. I had lost wind of Sesshoumaru and looked around, wondering if he had went behind. He then passed me, his eyes once again connecting with mine.
"What?' he asked as he noticed my awestruck gaze upon him.
"N-Nothing!" I answered, rushing past him and towards Rin. I was glad he could not see my face because I was blushing madly, as red a tomato; my heart had skipped a beat for some reason too…
