Daisies in my Hair and Butterflies in my Stomach: Ch. 2
Time to Rest and Heal, My Dear Sesshomaru.

Miroku made it hastily to the area where the girls had made camp. He stepped out of the trees and brush and into the very small clearing. It was more like a spot were two trees once stood but had fallen over the years. Songo was stoking a warm fire and string some of Kegomes egg noodles in a pot over the fire. Kegome, however, was sitting near the fire with Rin berried in her arms. He guessed that the young girl had finally sub commanded to sleep in the comfort of Kegomes arms. Miroku walked calmly over to her and knelt down to ask her for the needed materials.

"Kegome. . . . ." he stopped when she turned her head up to look straight at him. Her eyes were full of sorrow and fear for the girl who clung to her for comfort and for Sesshomaru. She spoke before he continued.

"Songo told me some of what you found. . . . . is he going to be alright? Rin has been calling for him."

"I can not say, Kegome he has been injured badly. I came to ask for your medical kit and your extra sleeping bag." Kegome did not speak she just nodded her head and tightened her hold on Rin. Miroku got up and retrieved the kit and sleeping bag. He turned and headed back from the direction he came from but was stopped when he heard some one gently call his name. He turned around to find Songo looking at him. Her eyes looked just as sad as Kegomes only the held more distress in them.

"Miroku, what are we going to do about them?" she asked sadly.

"I do not know. I suggest waiting till Inuyasha and I get back then we will discuss it wile they rest." Songo nodded and stirred the noodles again to try and take her mind of what she had seen for the time being. Miroku began his short trek to the hot spring.

Inuyasha

'Sesshomaru, I promise that you will pull threw this, because I will be here to help you threw it. I'll kill that bastard that did this to you.' Inuyasha thought to himself as he walked to the hot spring. He unconsciously held Sesshomaru closer and tighter. Sesshomaru gave a whimper as Inuyashas grip tightened causing pain from bruises and cuts to chill threw his body. Inuyasha blinked at the noise and realized what he had done. He loosened his grip. They were at the hot-spring.

Inuyasha knelt gently down and slowly sat Sesshomarus body down onto the ground. He held up Sesshomarus head and shoulders in one arm as he removed his outer shirt. Switching arms to hold Sesshomarus head up so he could remove his arm from the sleeve. He folded the shirt best he could and pillowed it under Sesshomarus head so he could lay him down fully. Inuyasha walked over to see just how hot this hot-spring was. When he found it to his liking he removed his garments tossing them far enough away from the bank of the spring so they would not become all wet.

Inuyasha walked back over to where Sesshomaru laid and scooped him up once again cradling him gently. Inuyasha stepped into the spring, the water coming up to his navel. He lowered Sesshomaru into the water, his body shivered involuntarily as the water glided over his skin engulfing his body. Inuyasha found a large stone near the edge and sat on it. He rested Sesshomarus head on his shoulder and began to gently work the blood out of Sesshomarus hair as well as washing out all the cuts and scrapes gently.. Sesshomaru began to whimper as he felt Inuyashas hands move around his body cleaning the cuts and his hair. Inuyasha stopped cleaning Sesshomaru when he heard the whimpers. He gently wrapped his arms around Sesshomarus shoulders, he gently whispered into Sesshomarus ear.

"It's ok, I'm here now and you're safe with me. No-bodies going to hurt you again, I promise. I'm just going to get you cleaned up and tend to your wounds so just relax and rest. You're safe." Sesshomarus whimpers stopped and he seemed to relax some, but he still flinched with each touch in his unconscious state. Inuyasha heard some one coming and looked up to see Miroku making his way threw the foliage to the spring. He stood but not bringing Sesshomaru out of the water just yet. He would wait till Miroku got there before taking the yukai away from the comfortably warm waters.

"I have the medical kit and sleeping bag." Miroku voiced as he stood at the waters edge. Inuyasha nodded.

"Roll out the bag and open it up, he's going to be cold as soon as I bring him out of the water." Miroku complied by walking a few steps away from the spring and unrolling the bag and setting the kit next to it. He came back over holding two cloths he had removed from inside the bag.

"Here use these to dry off." He said handing the cloths to Inuyasha as he stepped out of the water. Inuyasha took a cloth and dried Sesshomaru off and placed him into the open sleeping bag his hair still quite damp. He dried himself off quickly and dressed with swift ease before kneeling down at Sesshomarus side. Miroku knelt on the opposite side of Inuyasha and opened the medical kit bring out the salves that Kegome had showed him before, the ones that would keep out infection and help the wounds heal. Inuyasha watched Miroku closely, making sure he found all of the cuts.

"Inuyasha, you need to hold him up so that I can tend to the wounds on his back." Miroku informed. Inuyasha complied by gently sliding an arm under Sesshomarus neck and lifting him up to lean agents his chest. Miroku treated the wounds. After wiping the excess salve off his hand on one of the drying cloths, he began to wrap Sesshomarus chest, back, arms, and legs where the wounds were with wrapping cloth. Once he tied the last knot he nodded to Inuyasha, who gently lowered Sesshomaru back down to lay in the sleeping bag. Miroku zipped it up and cleaned up the extra wrapping cloth placing it back into the kit and closing it.

Inuyasha settled Sesshomarus head into the hood of the sleeping bag, and then picked Sesshomaru up to cradle him once again. They walked back to camp where dinner and a warm fire waited.
