I don't own Inuyasha. I only own Kristen and friend.

Please read and review


Normal POV

"Hey I can hear you!" Inuyasha yelled in protest. Kristen didn't say anything. she put on a straight face and gave him a thumbs up. The new girl copied her action at the same time. Everyone got the gist of what the action meant: 'Good for you.'

"Hey you don't think Kristen might be angry or something do you?" Miroku asked noticing she was treating Inuyasha kind of coldly.

"Now that you mention it they were acting nice with each other before she disappeared. She seems somewhat upset now." Kagome said thinking about the other day.

"Inuyasha what do you do to upset Kristen?" Shippo asked accusingly as he hopped on Miroku's shoulder.

"If you don't remember you don't deserve to know. I already told you what happened." Inuyasha yelled not taking his eyes off Sesshomaru.

"I remember Inuyasha said Sesshomaru showed up and he heard a scream so he left. But Kristen wasn't with him when he returned so I suspect he forgot her. He probably left her in the middle of the woods with Sesshomaru." Sango said a little pissed off as she realized what he did.

"She has a right to be upset. who leaves a defenseless little girl in the middle of the forest." Kagome shouted also pissed off.

Inuyasha obviously heard their conversation and started sweating bullets. He tried to hurry up and start his battle with Sesshomaru to distract everyone from what he has done. "This time I will kill you for sure!"

Sesshomaru saw through his shortsighted plan and decided not to fight with amusement in his eyes. "No little brother. You have a problem you need to deal with so we can have our battle later. That is if you are still alive when I come back." He was tempted to stay but he needed to get back to Rin. While the others closed in on Inuyasha, Sesshomaru picked up Kristen and friend and left.

"What kind of person leaves someone in the woods? She is a child without memories. She could have died. You need to take better care of her. At least I assume you are going to take care of her since you took the time to save her. Be a man for once and take responsibility." Kagome yelled at him. He tried to interrupt her, but that was a mistake. She interrupted him from interrupting her. "Sit! Don't interrupt me! Sit!" She was on a roll. "I thought you were better than that Inuyasha." She said sounding disappointed.

"I should have known better! Sit" She said walking away.

With Sesshomaru (Normal POV)

"Hey why are you taking us away? We wanted to see the look on Inuyasha's face as he got punished!" both girls complained In unison to the taiyokai. "So now you decide to speak up. I see you are comfortable speaking in small groups and only small groups." He said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"I don't know. I just can't speak when there are a lot of people around. I have tried but the words get stuck in my throat." She said softly. "Don't worry you go out of it. But until then you should know you have selective mutism. It's basically that you have stage fright and only speak when you feel safe or just feel like it. Basically you are a pansy when it comes to people." the new girl explained.

"How do you know this girl better than she knows herself?" Sesshomaru asked

"I am a part of her. We separated before she lost her memory. I only know a fraction of what she use to know." the new girl said.

"Hey can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah sure"

"What is Shea'na?" Kristen asked remembering the mysterious word from before.

The new girl stared wide eyed for a while. then she shook her head and reached over. She pulled Kristen into a tight embrace and whispered "You should forget you ever heard that word. It causes nothing but pain." When she pulled away she had tears in her eyes. It was silent for the rest of the way to camp.

When Sesshomaru finally landed in the campsite Rin ran up to them. "Hey you are back, milord! And you brought back another friend for Rin! Yay!" she said excitedly. "Welcome back, milord!" said Jaken as he bowed deeply. Sesshomaru put down both girls and sat down in front of a tree silently watching as the three girls started playing.
