CHAPTER FOUR: THOUGHTS

Sesshoumaru gave a blank stare at the smiling girl and got to his feet.

"Get to your feet. I plan to get to the mountains tonight."

"Yes My Lord!" Kohana said in a enthusiastic voice.

Sesshoumaru and Jaken started to walk away and Kohana tried to get to her feet but fell down back to the ground.

"Uh-Uh Sesshoumaru, I can't get up!"

Sesshoumaru stopped and turned around and knelt by Kohana. He did not feel a pulse from Tenseiga so what was wrong?

"What is it" Sesshoumaru asked in calm manner.

"I can't get up!" Kohana said in panicky voice.

"Do you feel any pain?"

"No, it's just my legs feel so numb!"

Sesshoumaru held back a disgusted look. He did not want to carry this girl but he had no other choice. He did not have Au-un any more and Jaken is too small. He turned his back to her and Kohana looked confused.

"Get on my back" Sesshoumaru said in a demanding voice.

"Yes My Lord!"

Kohana used her arms to reach Sesshoumaru's shoulders so she could pull herself closer so he could support her legs. When Sesshoumaru felt Kohana's arms wrapped around his neck he gently took his arms and reached for her legs to support them and stood up. He checked if Kohana was secured and went on his way. Kohana fell asleep and was leaning her head against his warm back. The sight disgusted Jaken and he starting to burst out questions.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, why do you let this girl come with us?!"

Sesshoumaru stopped and looked at his servant with a cold look. He never liked to be questioned by his servant but answered him anyway.

"Do you remember Rin's last words, Jaken?"

"About finding somebody that was like her? Yes but-but you think it's this little brat?!".

"Jaken, haven't you noticed her scent?"

"No My Lord"

"Her scent is almost equivalent to Rin's"

"But what if she is not the promised person?" Jaken asked out of curiosity.

"Then I'll abolish her"

"Oh" and that surly made Jaken shut up.

A hour later Kohana woke up and realized that Sesshoumaru and Jaken came to a complete stop. She looked up at what they were staring at and what she saw was a mountain but some for reason or another she started shaking. Kohana had a frightened look upon her face and shook even more violently and it was starting to annoy Sesshoumaru.

"Enough of that Kohana, stop it" Sesshoumaru demanded

"I'll-I'll try My Lord" Kohana said in a stuttered voice.

Kohana stopped shaking but only a little that Sesshoumaru's back was still vibrating. She clutched his kimono sleeve in her hands and buried her face into his back. Sesshoumaru leaped up the mountain and found a cave entrance and Kohana started to shake violently again started to let out snobs but Sesshoumaru ignored it. He's been delayed for too long and he wanted to get the crystal today. As he went in the cave Kohana was starting to let out painful yelps and Sesshoumaru came to a complete stop and he gently put Kohana on the ground.

"Kohana what is wrong with you?" in a demanding voice.

"I-I don't like this place. Please turn back, we can find a different cave with Hikari Tama's. So please lets just turn back. Please?" she said in a melancholic voice.

Sesshoumaru did not want to turn back for nothing. He came too far and he knew Kohana was tired so he thought she didn't know what she was saying. He gave a smirk to himself and he looked back at Kohana and smirked at her. He knelt down to her level and put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to his chest.

"Wha-wha-what are you doing Sesshoumaru-sama?" Kohana asked in a confused voice.

Sesshoumaru placed his middle and index finger on Kohana's moon on her forehead and chanted a little spell.

"Moon and night, place your power of sleep and dreams on the one who is most bromidic and see that her soul does not weary so"

Kohana fell asleep underneath his spell and landed into Sesshoumaru's warm yet firm chest. Sesshoumaru looked at the sleeping girl and he picked her up and carried her in his arms.

(A/N: You're probably starting think how did Sesshoumaru got a good arm that lasted. Well I'll tell you. When Rin died Sesshoumaru got his original arm that Inuyasha hacked off. Sesshoumaru was convinced it was Rin's wish to let him have a arm. So in other words Rin granted him a wish when she went to heaven that would be useful to him. So that's how Sesshoumaru is able to carry Kohana around.)

After a twenty minute walk they finally reached the heart of the mountain cave.
