Still @ The Well - N Feudal Japan

Rin looked up at Alexandra pleadingly. "I want you to take me home," she said. Alexandra sighed at looked at Logan. She couldn't just ignore the little girl's pleas.

(SoulAvenger: oh, please! We all know that she only wants 2 go b/c of Fluffy! Star Katt: hush, u!)

Logan returned Alexandra's gaze. Unwillingly, he gave in. "Go if you must, but I can't go with you. You know I have to return to Charles and inform him of our whereabouts. I trust you can handle her yourself?"

Alexandra was a little surprised. She hadn't expected Logan to give in so easily. Maybe this big brother thing had its advantages. "Yeah, I can, but I don't know how to get there."

Rin smiled widely, and hopped off the edge of the well. "Don't worry. I'll show you."

Inuyasha growled low, glaring at everyone. "Stupid! She can't go by herself! It could be a trap. Sesshomaru could be really dangerous with you. You don't know him like I do. There's no telling what he would do, especially if he saw you with Rin. We'll go with you," he added to Alexandra.

"NO!" Alexandra said quickly with more force than she had intended. "NO WAY!" Everyone stared at her. She fought to hide a blush. "It's just; I don't want you guys to come. I met him before. I know what I'm up against. I don't need protection."

Everyone continued to stare at her. Kagome broke the silence. "What do you mean, you met him before?"

Alexandra couldn't hide the blush this time. "Uh, he saved me." (SoulAvenger -but she just said she didn't need protection) "It was wolves, but I could handle them myself! I guess he didn't know that, but then afterwards we talked. And, other from him being a bad parent, he seems fine. I don't know what you're so uptight about."

Inuyasha's blood was boiling. "HE'S MY BROTHER! I HAVE A RIGHT TO BE UPTIGHT! AND YOU ARE NOT GOING BY YOURSELF! HE'LL KILL YOU!"

Alexandra turned heatedly on him. "HE WON'T, AND I AM!"

"YOU'RE NOT!"

"I AM!"

"YOU'RE -"

Inuyasha was interrupted midsentence as Kagome yelled, "SIT!" He slammed face-first into the ground. (Star Katt: Ouch! That must smart!")

Alexandra smiled gratefully at Kagome and stuck her tongue out at Inuyasha. "Serves you right," she said to him.

Kagome sighed. "He just wants you to be careful, Alexandra. You will be careful, won't you?"

Alexandra grinned. "When am I anything but?"

Logan rolled his eyes. "Would you like a list, or should I just start naming things randomly?"

Alexandra stuck her tongue out at him, also. (SoulAvenger: whadda child!)

Logan narrowed his eyes at her. "If you want to keep that, I suggest you put it back in your mouth." Alexandra slowly slid her tongue back in, looking surprised. Logan turned toward Kagome, and held up something small in his hand. "This is called a communicator." He handed one each to her and Alexandra. "Alexandra, use this if you get into trouble, and Kagome, check on her every few hours. Just in case."

Kagome and Alexandra nodded, Alexandra trying not to protest about being "checked on."

Inuyasha, having got up a while ago, now crossed his arms. "Like she'll really use it."

Logan growled at him a little bit, knowing nonetheless that he was probably right. "Listen demon! I'm counting on you to rescue her if anything goes wrong!"

Inuyasha bared his teeth. "Like hell I will."

"Sit!" Kagome interrupted. Again, Inuyasha slammed into the ground, yelling out curses.(Both: ) Kagome ignored him, and turned to Logan. "Don't worry. He will." She turned and glared at Inuyasha. "We BOTH will."

"Good," Logan said. "Well, I'm off. Hopefully your little mission won't take long, kid, and I'll see you soon."

Kagome and Logan jumped into the well together, and Rin tugged on Alexandra. "Let's go!" she said, impatiently.

Alexandra shook her head. "One minute. I want to be sure he makes it over there okay." Inuyasha snorted. After a few minutes, Kagome returned alone.

"Logan said he would tell Professor X, Alexandra," Kagome said, as Inuyasha helped her out of the well. "I guess he wants to know his opinion on the matter, and he also said to stay in this time until he comes back for you."

"Which means that you need to be on the other side of the well, Kagome," Inuyasha added. "So he can get back."

Kagome nodded, reluctantly. "Yeah, I guess I do." Inuyasha and Kagome stared at each other for a moment, then they averted their gazes. It was clear to Alexandra that Inuyasha didn't want Kagome to leave any more than Kagome wanted to leave. Alexandra felt guilty for a moment, until she remembered that she was going to go see Sesshomaru, the "bad parent." Her heart beat sped up in anticipation.

"Take care, Kagome," Alexandra said.

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, you too. Be careful."

"Don't worry. I'll be fine."

About Fifteen Minutes Later - Alex & Rin In the Woods

They had been walking in silence for a while now. Alex didn't like it when it was too quiet. "So, Rin!" she began cheerfully. "Is Sesshomaru's house far from here?" The little girl was jolted out of her thoughts.

"A little too far, if you ask me," Rin muttered. She looked up to find Alexandra staring at her. She suddenly blushed and smiled happily. "Kinda far!" she said, in her little kid voice. "But, you'll like it, I bet! It's really big! And it's really not a house, it's a castle!"

Alexandra's eyes bugged out. "A castle!? Are you serious? Wow! I mean, I live in a mansion, but a real castle!? Do a lot of people live there?"

Rin shook her head. "No way! Lord Sesshomaru isn't really a people-person (Star Katt: people-demon?). There's only me and Lord Sesshomaru. Oh yeah, and Jakken." She made a face, and stuck out her tongue as she had seen Alexandra do earlier. (SoulAvenger: Oh, look! She's mimicking her Mommy- figure already! How sweet. Both: Awwwwwwwww)

Alexandra suppressed a smile. "Who's Jakken?" she asked, curiously.

"He's a stupid toad demon that follows us around," Rin said, in a sing- songy voice that didn't quite match her words. "But, sometimes, Lord Sesshomaru tells him to watch me when he has to go somewhere. And he's not a very good Rin-watcher," she added.

"So, he's something like your nanny?" Alexandra asked.

Rin nodded. "Yeah, I guess you could call him that." She started to think about all of the other names she could call Jakkin, also.

"Well, I hope we get there soon," Alexandra said, shivering.

"Oh, me too!" Rin said, grinning evilly. 'Oh, what a good day!' she thought. 'I'm setting up Lord Sesshomaru AND I have a million new names for Jakkin. Life is good!' Unconsciously, she began to whistle.

^_^
