*Chapter three*

"What do you want?" Inuyasha jumped to the ground, leaving Kagome in the tree for her safety. "Don't tell me you've come for the Tetsusiaga, just get it through your head, you can't weld it father made it with the intention that I would have it not only to have something to remember him by, but to protect the people I care about. Move on already will ya?"

"As much as I want and could have the Tetsusiaga, that's not what I've come here for half-breed. I've come to talk with the human girl you travel with, the miko. So stand aside!" Sesshoumaru said calmly as Rin came up beside him and reach her hand to his.

"What do you want to talk to Kagome about? That's not like you Sesshoumaru, but then again neither is you traveling with a human child. She must not know the real you." Inuyasha's voice was blatantly suspicious.

"I don't have time for this." Sesshoumaru now impatient, gently taking his hand away from Rin's small, soft hand hoping not to upset the little girl. Walking to his younger half brother slowly, stopping only two feet from the hanyou. "It's about Rin, now move!"

Kagome having climbed down the tree, which was no easy task for her without powers, and climbing abilities, and in a skirt, had walked towards to the brother who seemed at any moment very capable to begin fighting. Gently touching Inuyasha's arm so as not to startle him and set off the fight herself. "Sesshoumaru, what brings you here at this time of night?" looking to where Rin was standing next to a ugly, ugly imp Kagome's motherly instincts hit her. "And why is Rin-chan still up she should be asleep in a bed not out traveling at night. It is late." managing to speak to the demon lord in front of her without any fear. 'He doesn't seem to want to harm any of us.'

Inuyasha not letting his gaze leave his brother, he put a hand to Kagome's for support. Just knowing she was there gave him enough strength to protect her 'til the end of the world. He didn't care what Sesshoumaru said he was there for, he'd never believed anything his brother ever said to him since he was a child. A low pitch growl escaped his chest only heard by those with demonic hearing. Sesshoumaru just smiled.

"Before you open your mouth to talk to me you better use my name instead of 'you human' giving me a little respect wont kill you, y'know?" Kagome staring at Sesshoumaru. Both men next to her felt admiration for the young woman being unafraid and demanding.

Complying with her request "Kagome, I'm here to talk to you about Rin. There is something wrong with her. You are from another country I presume by your wardrobe. Are there strong medicines there?"

Before Kagome could give him a reply to his questions. Rin came over the trio, "Sesshoumaru-sama, Jaken wasn't saying nice things to me, then told me not to tell anyone, I didn't want to but what he said really hurt my feelings he said "'Soon you wont be a problem anymore.'" You don't want me around anymore?" her voice became scratchy and broken while her eyes grew in size and gathering tiny crystals in the corners.

At that the three's reaction tot he small girl was priceless. Sesshoumaru's face was solemn for a second then his glare met the soon-to-be-dead imp across the clearing.

Inuyasha's face was torn along with his heart at hearing the fragile girl think she was going to be abandoned. He saw the look on his brothers face then saw his gaze turn to the coward that had been standing next to only a moment ago. He smirked knowing his brother was angry with someone else at the moment.

Kagome was a whole other matter. She winced when she heard Rin a tear made its way down her cheek, her heart went out to Rin. She bent down and held her arms out wide "Rin, sweetie come here!" her voice was soothing to everyone's ears that heard her.

Rin not hesitating ran into Kagome's arms and began to while Kagome consoled her like a mother would a child having had a nightmare. "Shhh! Rin everything is ok. Sesshoumaru wouldn't give you away. Don't you pay any mind to Jaken, he is just jealous."

"He's jealous?!" the little girl repeated choking back sobs as her voice picked up. "How come?"

Sesshoumaru hearing the girls let his gaze leave Jaken. 'I will take care of that yarou later.' Inuyasha followed suit, looking down at the females embracing each other. 'Females, the bonds that hold them together is strong. Something I don't think men have at least not Sesshoumaru and I.' Turning to his brother he chuckled "Girls, huh?" Sesshoumaru had to admit he agreed with his little brother. He just nodded with a smile.

Kneeling down next to the girls Sesshoumaru put one of his clawed hands gently on Rins back to help comfort and relieve her of her fears, "Rin, I wont leave you and if I do it wouldn't be for forever." Kagome and Inuyasha both thinking they had now seen everything. Neither knew what to say after that. Sesshoumaru then added "He's jealous because I treat you nicer."

"Inuyasha will you take Rin over there," Kagome pointing to a place fifteen feet away just out of Rins hearing range and well within Inuyasha's, "I would like to finish talking with Sesshoumaru."

Inuyasha pouted knowing he had to there was no way Sesshoumaru would talk with her right there and she couldn't very well play by herself after what just happened. "Feh, Fine" reaching out a hand to Rin, "Lets go play kid!" trying to sound as badass as he possible could.

Kagome turning to completely face Sesshoumaru, stood up and said, "Please go on, what is wrong with Rin-chan? This way I can tell you if I can cure her." not wanting to tell Sesshoumaru about the well.

"I do not know what is wrong with Rin, but I can sense something." Standing up, but looking down "I've taken her to all the healers I know, with the exception of the healers that Inuyasha knows."

"Sesshoumaru, why don't you go to my village, 'I hate having to lie to him when he is in dire need', and tell them of her symptoms but be kind please, that means no slaying people, and Inuyasha and I will take care of her. I, myself, will ask Lady Kaede if she can figure out what is wrong with her." 'Well that much is true, I will ask Kaede first, but,' her thoughts were cut off by the sincere look she was getting from the demon lord in front of her, 'But if Kaede can't I will have to take Rin to a hospital in my era.'

Sighing, Sesshoumaru agreed "Ok! But I don't want her latching to that half- breed brother of mine."

"You've really taken a liking to her, haven't you?" Kagome said smiling. His response to was a growled chuckle. Kagome giggled at seeing him try to hide his feelings for Rin that is after all in a way that she denies her feelings for Inuyasha.

"Ok!" Kagome agreed knowing it wouldn't be a problem seeing as how Inuyasha doesn't like being around little children, "Sesshoumaru?"

He looked at her questioningly. "After all this is done with are you.Are you going to go back to trying to kill Inuyasha or will you two make a truce?" He'd never thought this would happen, asking his brother and his human wench for aid and them asking for peace in return. "If Rin dies, then you both will be held accountable, but should she survive I will think this term over, but I must be on my way now to your village, but first two things: where is your village? And I have to tell Rin I need to go away for a while." 'Without making her think I'm leaving her for good.'

"You should lie to her, Sesshoumaru-san." His brows raised at the respect she had given him for the first time since they met a year ago. He gave her a small smile. : : aww *eyes water up* I just love when he smiles : :

"My village is um..two weeks north-east near a lake and a small mountain." 'I hope he doesn't figure out I'm lying!' "If you can't find it in two weeks come back here. I'll say it again, Sesshoumaru, DO NOT KILL!"

"Inuyasha." Kagome called above a whisper knowing he would hear besides she didn't feel like shouting to him and neither demon would appreciate the loud noise. But sure enough Inuyasha heard her and he walked over with Rin right beside him wearing a big smile. To Kagome the girl didn't seem sick but she wasn't going to question the senses of a demon.

Inuyasha, placing the girl on the ground he looked at Kagome with a face of both worry and curiosity. 'Just when I thought I was going to get the chance to tell Kagome, Sesshoumaru comes by and now this we have to watch the kid that adores my brother.'

*End of Chapter three*

: : hey minna! How are you all doing? Well thanks for asking I'm good too. Even though some of you didn't ask I still luff ya. Yeah, yeah I know I didn't leave it at much of a cliff but the next chap will have a cliff that will make you hate me. The next chap which should come out much quicker than this one did. Sorry for making you wait, anyways. I just couldn't figure out why Sess-chan arrived and then when I did figured it out I needed to put in words and not take him of character too much. But I don't like writing battles and I'm not very good at writing them anyway.besides this is a General/Romance only battles will be between our love triangle Kikyou, Inuyasha and Kagome. Just remember that I luff fluff so my stories will all have happy endings maybe if you write me enough reviews I will make my song fic a not-so-happy ending its already headed that way but I dunno it looks like it might make a dramatic change back towards HAPPINESS. Be sure to read 'What Rises After Stars Fall?' Authors note and chap one up! : :
