DISCLAMIER AND STUFF: same warnings and all that jazz

Shippo was sobbing quietly as he searched the forest for any wood he could use for the fire. Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha were like his family. He never wanted to lose any of them. He did not want to be alone anymore. As he stumbled on into the night a familiar scent engulfed his nose. Similar to the smell of Inuyasha but this scent had much more power. Sesshomaru. A whiff of weaker demons and the pleasant aroma of flowers also surrounded the area. And another scent was in the air.

The name was on the tip of the fox yokai's tongue. Then realization hit him. This metallic scent in the air was blood. A shiver raced down Shippo's spine. It was human blood. His thoughts strayed to Kagome and Sango. Were they okay? "Please hold on Rin, Lord Sesshomaru will come……just please be strong" an annoying yet caring voice echoed in the still night. Jaken? Shippo crept closer to were the voice came from, and to his great surprise saw the toad servant and the two headed dragon gathered around a young woman of great beauty. Rin! The fox demon remembered the girl, and how they used to play fight and pick flowers when she came over to visit Kagome and Sango for holidays and other occasions. Sesshomaru and Jaken did not like to visit the Inu hanyo and his companions but that didn't stop Rin and the faithful ah and uh from becoming close friends with the gang. Shippo felt pain pierce his heart. After all Rin and him were really good friends.

Jaken was taking care of Rin when the loud sound of a branch breaking tore apart the silence. With lightening like reflexes he grasped the staff of two heads and stood protectively in front of human girl. "Who's there"? The weak yokai screeched. His ugly yellow bug eyes glancing everywhere. "Jaken, what's wrong with Rin?" Shippo's childish voice asked as he came into the toad's line of vision. Jaken glared at the younger demon. Then sighed in defeat. After all Inu yasha's group enjoyed helping other people with their problems. Although Sesshomaru might be mad, at least the monk or miko could help Rin.

That was the important thing. Maybe when Lord Sesshomaru comes back he will be so happy that Rin was okay and forget that I asked help from the bakas. Right? "I don't know. I suspect that Naraku has something to do with this" Jaken stated at last, his gaze falling to the young fighter. "Is there something your companions can do to help her"? he continued hopefully. Shippo shook his head, her emerald green eyes unusually somber. "I am sorry. Kagome and Sango have the same thing……we don't know what to do………but Miroku is wise I am sure he could think of something" Jaken pondered this for a few moments. His gaze never leaving the girl that stole his and his lords' heart. (A/N: no Jaken is not in love with Rin. But he is fond of her. Like big brother to little sister kind of fondness)

"Can the monk help her"? "Maybe. It would be a good idea to stay together. Naraku might send demons after us" Shippo said thoughtfully his eyes staring off at the midnight sky. The shower of stars were clouded by dark rain clouds. The silver orb of the moon no longer shown. It was so peaceful tonight, and now the world seem as dark and hopeless as the deepest part of the sea. "Very well child. We shall accompany you back to your friends" Jaken stated at last. He started to saddle ah and uh, while Shippo helped prepare Rin for the short journey to Miroku.
