The darkness came quickly, and Rin, leaning against Sesshoumaru, fell asleep quickly. The demon picked her up gently, and took her into the forest, where she probably had an already prepared place to sleep.

Kagome thought about trying to escape while he was away, but even if she did manage to get away from him, she would still be left alone and weaponless in a strange place full of demons. No way out. There was just no escape. God, she missed her home.

Sesshoumaru came out of the woods soon after, sitting down against a tree just like he was before, looking up at the moon.

Kagome didn't want to bother him. She didn't really want to have anything to do with him, or have anything to say to him. She would have been better off just staying as far away from him as possible, only talking to him when she absolutely had to. But curiosity got better of her. Two things she burned to know. Firstly, why was he so kind to this sweet little girl? She asked the question out loud.

Sesshoumaru turned from the sky, and faced her, his piercing eyes glowing silver with the moonlight. He did not speak, only raised his eyebrows very slightly. Kagome had a feeling that he didn't know himself. Though his gesture seemed questioning, it was definitely more self questioning.

He let his eyes flow down along the sparkling strait. He seemed to love nature, for his expression softened when he leaned back to enjoy the silvery glowing scenery and the cool night air around him. By the looks of him, Kagome thought, he must be rich. But still he spends his nights out under the moon, leaning against a tree, rather than in a mansion, sleeping in a closed room, as comfortable it might be. Though he didn't look tired at all.

"Don't you sleep?" asked the girl, though she wasn't sure why, since it hardly mattered. She just wasn't comfortable with the silence.

Again he looked back at her, the hidden smile present his eyes."Planning on escaping?" he asked.

Kagome really wished he would show some normal emotions. She could not even imagine him laughing out of joy. By the way he said it, it seemed to her that he couldn't care less about wether she escaped or not. "So what if I am?" she snapped back at him, forgetting herself, then clapped her hands over her mouth fearfully.

But the demon was still expressionless. Kagome sighed. It would make it so much easier if he would just get mad once, she thought. Then she thought better, and remembered that if he got mad once at her, she probably wouldn't live to get him mad a second time. But really, trying to guess what his every move really meant got very tiering after a while. "No, I'm sorry, I'm not going to run away." she muttered apologetically.

"I really don't see what's so horrible. Am I treating you badly, human?" Sesshoumaru asked calmly, and in a manner that showed he didn't really cared about the answer, he cut her off before she could even speak."And to answer your question, no, I don't usually sleep more than a few times a month."

Silence that seemed to stretch on forever followed, until Kagome gathered her courage, and asked the second thing that she has been wondering about.

"Why did you cut me with the tensaiga, when I woke up?"She asked him in a small voice.

"You were dying." He said indifferently.

"What?" Kagome exclaimed.

"You were poisoned...bite of a dead snake demon. Loosing conciousness in the middle of a burial ground for demons is not wise...for a human, anyway.Jaken was supposed to bring you back here, but he fled before the demon. If I didn't sense it, you would be dead by now." he explained coldly.

Kagome took a second to digest that. She was going to die...so that was why her whole body ached so horribly. It wasn't an extreme case of muscleache, but poison. "So you really did save me?" she asked in shock.

Sesshoumaru nodded slightly, then continued staring at the moon.

This newly found fact irritated Kagome beyond bearing."Still! That doesn't give you the right to kidnap me!" she snapped at him.

He wouldn't reply, just smile slightly at the sky.

Eventually, Kagome gave up and lay down in the grass, trying to sleep.
