Kiyomi giggled as she watched Rin and Jaken scurry away from her and Lord Sesshomaru. It was a new day and they had made their way down another path that had shown no sign of Naraku. Kiyomi had realized Rin hadn't eaten in a while and suggested she go find some something to eat. She had skipped away happily as she did what Kiyomi had told her to do.

Although, Kiyomi was left alone with Lord Sesshomaru and she felt a little uneasy. Kiyomi watched him as he stared off into the distance at Rin and Jaken but soon his golden eyes found her and glistened under the suns ray.

Although his face never really showed too much emotion she noticed his eyes spoke loudly enough. She could tell he felt rather relaxed. Well, if he could feel that way she could at least give that feeling a chance herself.

Kiyomi slid off the back A-Un and made her way over to him. She stood a few feet away from him and gave him a small smile.

"Lord Sesshomaru," she said quietly. He said nothing as his gold eyes bore into her brown eyes.

"What do you think about?" She really didn't know how to start her conversation. She had never really conversed with another demon so closely before.

She wasn't at all shocked when all he did was turn away from her with a small look of annoyance on his facial features. Although she wasn't really happy with the way he just ignored her.

"My Lord," she said with a sigh, "I would feel more comfortable if I was able to get to know you better." It had been a while ago since she had teamed up with them and she had gotten to know Rin and Jaken very well.

She had bonded with A-Un rather quickly so all of them were already eliminated. However, Lord Sesshomaru...

Kiyomi walked around him to stare up in to his eyes once again. He stared down at her momentarily but said nothing.

"Such as," she said, "your weapons."

"What about them?" Kiyomi pointed to the one that had not sheath.

"I've noticed that this sword possesses very strong demonic aura, Toukijin, right?" The sword he wielded was a double-edged straight sword which is wider at tip and narrower at base. When she first met him she sensed its power but paid it no mind.

"What of it?" Kiyomi then pointed to the one with a sheath.

"This one has a demonic aura as well but this one is different," she pointed out before she turned her attention to where Rin and Jaken had left earlier. She felt someone else was there with them but it wasn't a hostile presence, however, it was two people.

"Tenseiga," he said suddenly. Kiyomi turned to him when he had spoken. She was a little surprised. To be honest she never thought he would speak to her about his swords but she gave it a shot anyway. She was glad she did.

"It has the power to slay the beings from the underworld, as well as bringing up to 100 beings back to life in one swing," Kiyomi listened carefully to him as he spoke, although she wasn't actually listening to what he was saying. She was just listening to his voice. His voice was oddly soothing.

Kiyomi watched him pull out the sword that had not sheath. He wielded it but he showed no threat to her so she just relaxed.

"Toukijin was created only for battle." Kiyomi tilted her head in confusion.

"My Lord," she said, "why don't you just use Tenseiga for battle?" He slowly replaced Toukijin and soon his attention was also where Rin and Jaken had left.

"Tenseiga cannot cut the living because it was not meant for battle." Kiyomi nodded but she soon walked to where Rin and Jaken had gone, going through bushes and stepping over small roots. She swore that every minute with them was anything but a bore.

"How dare you insult my Lord?" Jaken shouted.

"We'll take you on if it's a fight you're looking for!" Kiyomi scowled at the second voice she heard. She had never heard it before.

Kiyomi stepped out from the bushes and came into the view of Rin and Jake, although they weren't alone. A few feet in front of them were two demons surrounded by wolves.

They all looked as if they were about to have a confrontation. Jaken held his staff over his head and the demons a little ways away from them were in a fighting stance.

"Jaken," she said softly, "what is going on?" Kiyomi turned to the demons in front of her when she heard them gasp. They were staring at her with wide eyes, although she wasn't sure why.

"W-who are you?" Kiyomi turned to the men but she wasn't sure who spoke. She just noticed that the person spoke with awe in his voice.

"My name is Kiyomi." Kiyomi hadn't really give much to her introduction because she was more concerned with Rin. She looked terrified. She was crouched behind Jaken with her hands covering her eyes.

"Rin, are you hurt?" The girl looked up at her but said nothing.

"Jaken what's all this commotion?" Kiyomi turned to her Lord when she heard him speak. She hadn't really noticed him coming behind her but she did notice him standing at her side, however.

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Kiyomi noticed Rin had moved from her place behind Jaken and ran behind Lord Sesshomaru instead.

Kiyomi looked back at the demons in front of them and sighed. She wasn't at all surprised when they, and their wolves, began to take steps back when he appeared.

Although she didn't blame them. His gaze was rather intense.

"Who are you and what do you want!"

"You looking for a fight?"

Kiyomi noticed Lord Sesshomaru frown at the men when they spoke to him in such a manner.

"We're gonna leave but it ain't out of fear!"

"Yeah, you don't scare us mister!" Kiyomi held in her laughter when she watched them all scurry away in fear. Their words were the complete opposite of their actions.

"Rin," Kiyomi watched the little girl from the corner of her eye as Lord Sesshomaru spoke to her, "weren't you going to catch yourself some fish?"

The little girl smiled and nodded at him.

"Yes," Kiyomi smiled down at her and Rin turned to her.

"Um, can you stay with me Lady Kiyomi?" The little girl grabbed Kiyomi's hand and slowly pulled her along towards the nearby river. Kiyomi smiled and nodded.

"Alright."

Kiyomi chuckled and shook her head at the girl.

"Rin you don't have to do that?" Kiyomi stopped the girl as she began to hike up her kimono, preparing herself for her mission for food. Rin looked up at her with a look of confusion.

"How come Lady Kiyomi?" Kiyomi took a step towards the river and slowly stepped on to it, never submerging under the water. Kiyomi kneeled on the water as if she were on the ground. She watched fish swim under her.

Slowly she lowered her hand over the water, waiting. In a few minutes she circled the water and pulled it up from the river stream, creating an orb of water in the middle of her hand. Inside the orb was a fish that swam in circles in the middle of it.

Kiyomi stood and moved back to the where Rin stood and placed the orb in the girls waiting hands. Rin's eyes gleamed with excitement but it didn't last long before Kiyomi removed her hand and the orb bursted from its circular form and flowed through Rin's fingers until all that was left was a single fish that flopped around in Rin's hands.

"Wow!" Kiyomi smiled at her.

"You have the power to use water?" Kiyomi turned to Jaken who suddenly came to Rin's side along with Lord Sesshomaru.

"Not just water Jaken," Kiyomi said, "some elements of the earth; water, air,and fire. I haven't mastered the use of earth, however."

"Interesting." Kiyomi turned to her Lord when she heard him speak. He was staring down at her intensely. She felt his gaze pierce through her but she wasn't sure if she liked it or not.

"Can you catch more Lady Kiyomi?" Kiyomi nodded at her.
