Sesshomaru remained calm as Kaida looked at him. His words had left an unbreakable silence through the camp.

Kaida looked at him weakly. "What?" Only Sesshomaru, with his excellent hearing, could hear her.

"You are not a Full demon, but you're more demon than human."

Kaida collapsed to the ground in shock. "I'm… more demon…"

"What's wrong with that?!" Jaken grumbled.

"…Kaida?" Rin asked sitting next to her.

"Dose that mean I'm more like you than I am like Inuyahsa?"

"Don't compare yourself to Lord Sesshomaru!"

"Jaken. Shut up!" Sesshomaru glared at the little demon. "Yes." He turned back to Kaida.

Kaida shivered as he looked at her. Will he actually like me now? She felt her hear beat ten times faster and knew she loved Sesshomaru. There was no hiding it. "Sesshomaru…"

"How is this possible?" Sesshomaru asked, but in a demanding tone.

Kaida sighed and started to explain. She told Sesshomaru everything Sar had told her and what had happened. He frowned slightly at Inuyasha's name and blinked at Sar's. "I'm not entirely sure what happened to make me lose control…"

"A dark demonic aura was surrounding you. Probably a mix of the Raccoon's and your stored demonic aura."

Kaida blinked. "What…"

"The demon's aura mixed with your own and took control. And it was too much for you. Tensaiga killed the demon's lingering aura."

"Tensaiga…" She looked at his sword. "Thank you."

Sesshomaru blinked as she got up. "I guess I'll be going." She smiled at Rin. "You take care."

"Kaida why don't you stay?!" Rin wined.

"Because my friends will be worried and my big brother is probably freaking out. I have to go back."

"…Okay." Rin looked down.

Kaida hugged the little girl. "Don't worry. I'll come visit you sometime."

Rin smiled and nodded. "And Lord Sesshomaru!"

Kaida looked over at him. "Maybe." She got up and nodded. "Bye." She started to run but froze.

"Kaida."

She turned in shock. This was the first time she had ever heard him say her name like that, so gentle. "Y…Yes…"

"You're always welcome to travel with us."

Kaida stared in shock for a moment, her heart beating extremely fast. "…Right… Uh… Thank you…" She didn't move for a moment, watching him, then turned and ran. She smiled happily. There's a chance he likes me!

Sesshomaru frowned as he walked. It bugged him, for a strange unknown reason, that Kaida traveled with Inuyasha. He hadn't realized what he was saying to her till after he had said it. It bugged him.

"Lord Sesshomaru wasn't Kaida pretty!?"
He looked at Rin then continued walking in silence. … She was… And she's a demon… But even when she was human she was beautiful. He paused at those thoughts. It shocked him. He had never felt this way.

"Master Jaken what's wrong with Lord Sesshomaru?"

Jaken grumbled something, but Sesshomaru paid it no attention. His only thoughts were on Kaida and how dangerous it would be for her to travel with Inuyasha.

Naraku and Inuyasha were constantly running into each other and fighting. Naraku would hurt Kaida, or absorb her for her demonic power. His hand clenched. Kaida…

"Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin asked.

He looked down and frowned. He couldn't leave Rin for Naraku to take, and he had no care to go anywhere near Inuyasha. I'll keep a look out for her…. And I will warn her to stay away from Naraku. He continued on calmly, at least outwards.

Kaida rested against a tree scenting the air in search of a familiar scent. Nothing came to her and she frowned. Maybe I should just head back to Sesshomaru. Just the thought made her smile. There was hope now that she could get Sesshomaru to care for her. Maybe even love, but that was less likely. Kaida smiled and blushed as she purred slightly.

She sighed and took another sniff. She paused as a strange, yet familiar scent hit. She couldn't name where or when she had smelt it before, but she knew she had. She jumped down and went in search of the person.
