A/N: Ok so here's a 4th chapter in 1 night lol yea I totally cant sleep oh yea I 4got one big thing too….

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha but I do own MY made up characters so if you want to use them in your own story just ask ok? (do i really have to do this every chapter?)

Sesshomaru's POV 'I watched as the human rocked Rin to sleep. Something was weird about her. She wasn't like any ordinary human, she stood up to me w/o any fear in her eyes and then dared to talk back to me. I ignored her for the time being because Rin needs someone to take care of her and I don't have a clue on how to take care of a kid, especially a human one. Seeing the way she dressed I could tell she was from the future, just like Inuyasha's wench. She would have more experience with caring for kids. But something just isn't right about her...a strong aura is coming from her, not that of any demon or of an ordinary human. Her aura even rivals that of the miko? I must keep a closer eye on her, she might become of good use to me' End POV

2 days later
Nikoma had nursed Rin back to health and she was running around, happy that she had got better. Sesshomaru had basically sat under the tree for two days except for when he went to get food. A short toad looking thing named Jaken came to the campsite yesterday and started insulting Nikoma. She didn't take too kindly to that and ended up kicking him like a soccer ball right into a tree. He just started to wake up from his unconscious state and Rin ran over to him dragging him to play.

Nikoma let out a light giggle, but was relieved that she could rest a bit. She's been getting up at night from Rin's coughing and cries of feverish nightmares. Nikoma laid down onto the soft grass and let out a relaxed sigh. She looked over to see Sesshomaru staring at her again.

'What is his deal? The Ever since he brought me here all he's done is stare at me. Talk about your staring problems.' She sat up and crawled over to him.

"Hey, I have a question that's been bugging me. Since Rin's human and you supposedly hate humans, why does she travel with you?" he continued to stare at her but soon answered

"I don't let her travel with me, she follows me" Nikoma was confused at his statement

"Ok, whatever you say" she said with a shrug and a roll of her eyes.

Nikoma started stretching, arching her back. She didn't noticed Sesshomaru's wandering eyes down her body

"Well, I'm going to the springs to take a bath, be back soon." She gracefully got up and walked to the nearby hot springs she had given Rin a bath in earlier. Nikki looked around to make sure no one was watching and quickly stripped down. She slowly stepped into the steamy water, sending goosebumps through her body. After bathing, she relaxed, leaning against a rock.

A few minutes later she heard something splash.

In full alert, she looked around "Hello? Who's there!?' no one answered and she saw nothing so she just shrugged it off and started to relax again, closing her eyes. All of a sudden, something grabs a hold of her ankle and drags her underwater.

What ever had her soon let go and Nikoma resurfaced, gasping for air. A presence behind her is felt and she stiffens and turned to see what had grabbed her...

A/N: sorry guys but this is going to be a cliffy. I think that's going to be it for tonight. This chapter was fresh out of my mind unlike the previous 3 and it is now 4:30am so I'm pretty much fried. Please review thx.
