~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ch 6 a new love blooms~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~Maki POV~~~
Sesshomaru and I were back at the cave waiting for Ichi and Kouga to get back. I was growing bored. I was about to speak when Sesshomaru beat me to the chase. "Do you want to do something?" he asked emotionlessly. 'I get to go hang out with a total HOTTIE!!' I acted unaffected to the question though. "sure! ^-^" so we left the cave and speed off into the forest.
"Where do you want to go?" he asked "Let's just go where our feet lead us" "ok" we zoomed into past all the trees.
We arrived at a field where a little green toad like thing was standing with a two-headed dragon. It, the little green thing, had seen us and wobbled over. "Master Sesshomaru! Where have you been?" "that is none of your concern Jaken" "who's she?" he continued his questioning. "She, is Maki and has been with me for the past day or so" he said unfazed. "Sesshomaru-sama! Sesshomaru-sama!" a little girl came running out of the bushes. She had obviously been eating berries, her face was red around the lips. "What was Rin doing be her-self Jaken?" "she was just over in those bushes eating some berries for she was hungry, me lord!" "Sesshomaru-sama? Who is this pretty lady?" I couldn't help but blush thinking on how he might answer. "She is a good friend Rin, her name is Maki" "Hello Ms. Maki! ^-^ " I couldn't help but smile at her innocence "Hello there Rin! ^- ^" 'I wonder what Sesshomaru is doing with a little human girl?' "Where have you been for so long Sesshomaru-sama?" "I just meet Maki and her friends, so I stayed with them for a while since they offered" I pulled Sesshomaru away for a moment. "do you think that Rin would want to come meet Kouga and Ichi?" he thought for a moment. "I don't think so" "why not?" I asked out of pure curiosity. "she was killed by wolves once" now I was completely lost "how can she die and still be here ALIVE?!" "tenseiga" he said plain and simple. "it can bring back the dead back to the living" All this information! 'and I thought that SCIENCE was hard! Too complicated for my brain to handle right now' Then a thought stuck me harder than lightning "That doesn't mean that it was Kouga's wolves!" He thought about the comment for a moment. "But I'm still not too sure if she could handle a whole cave of wolves. Kouga's wolves or not" "Well then, why doesn't she just come and meet Ichi and Kouga?" "I suppose that will be alright" "ok then!" I started to head off into the forest when he stopped me. "We might want to get Rin first" he said "I guess that might help if she's the one whose gonna meet them" I said stupidly. We walked back over to Rin. We told her what was happening and she agreed. So we set off with Rin and I sat on Ah-Uh since I couldn't fly.

~~~Sesshomaru POV~~~
On our way to find Ichi and Kouga, Maki and Rin were having a very...interesting conversation. They were, well...Rin was talking about all the types of flowers she had seen and picked that day. 'Poor Maki. Rin will almost always repeat about half the flowers she talks about'
We had been searching for a while now, and Rin was still talking about the flowers. Maki looked dizzy when Rin wasn't watching her, but had a smile on when she was. 'she must not want to disappoint Rin by not being too interested in flowers'
Finally I picked up a scent of them. But it was followed by a thick scent of blood. 'wait...this isn't their blood...its just a lizard demons blood. Stupid lizards, they attack anything that hey see'
When we arrived where the blood scent was thickest, we saw Kouga giving Ichi pointers on fighting. 'He must be training her on how to fight'

~~~Kouga POV~~~
Ichi had just defeated her first demon. She got hit a couple of times. No bad injuries or anything. I was giving her some hints on how to avoid tricks like the one she fell into... ~~~Flashback~~~
We were lying on the ground catching our breath from the tickle fest that we had just had. Then she spoke up to talk to me "I thought that we were going to train! Not find each others ticklish spots!" It was as if something was guiding that lizard demon here so that Ichi could fight it! Because right after she said that, the lizard demon popped out of the trees. "here, you can test your strength on that" she stared at it in 'aww' "It's HUGE!" 'so what, it was a little big.' "you can take it! Common, if you can pin me down then you can beat this lizard" That helped to boost her courage a bit. "ok" "attack the head" "right" she went to attack it. She got a good first hit on it, she sent him flying across the field. Then, the lizard did something that lizards like to do to fake people out. He played possum. "Hey! That was really easy! ^.^ I must be a good fighter! Or does this just mean that the lizard is exceptionally weak ¬.¬..." She started to walk over to it. "Wait! It's just playing possum!" I tried to warn her before she got in range. But it was too late. The lizard whipped its tail around and turned her into and arrow heading straight for me. I caught her. It's not like I wouldn't! She looked at it. Her eyes already said that this lizard was going to die today. She ran forward. When she was just in range of its tail she jumped up and used some wind to keep him where she wanted. Then she kicked his face and literally made his head spin. Right off his neck actually. "Sheesh! Fight with HONOR!! Don't just use tricks! USE SKILL!!!" She walked back over to me and this is where we left off... ~~~Kouga POV continued~~~
She got a little tired using the wind power. But not tired enough to be noticed by many people. Then I saw Sesshomaru, Maki, and some others flying this way.
They landed not too far away. I walked over to them with Ichi by my side. "Hey. Who's this?" I was pointing to the little girl behind Sesshomaru. "This is Rin. She has been traveling with me" Sesshomaru said looking like he was in very deep thought. "aww...she is SO adorable!" Ichi squealed walking over to her. Ichi squatted down to Rin's height "Hello Rin. My name is Ichi ^-^" "hello" Rin was a little nervous around so many wolf demons. Ichi noticed that Rin was fidgeting "mm? What's wrong? Are you feeling ok?" she hesitates a moment before answering "...I'm scared of wolves..." she said shyly. 'so that's why she seems so eager to get away from us' Ichi smiled warmly "We aren't going to hurt you. Hey, do you want me to tell ya a secret?" this got her attention pretty quick "yes" "well, Maki and I both used to be a human like you" "how did you change into demons?" "I'm sure that you don't want to here very detail but...Sesshomaru and Kouga both helped us out a lot. And you've got nothing to worry about Kouga, Maki, and me. Ok?" She walked back over to me and whispered into my ear to go shake her hand. I did as she said...I don't know why, but I still did. "hello there" I said while trying to have my warmest smile on. It worked because she smiled back. She let go of my hand and ran over to Sesshomaru "Sesshomaru-sama! Sesshomaru-sama! Guess what?" "what it is Rin?" "Rin is not afraid of wolves anymore!" It looked like Sesshomaru could almost smile. "that's great Rin" he said in his not too emotional voice.
We were just going to wonder around for a while. There was nothing that we could do at the moment. We came across a field of flowers. The little girl, Rin, squealed. "Sesshomaru-sama? Can Rin go and pick flowers?" "you may" "come with Rin!" Rin said while pulling on Ichi and Maki sleeves. They followed Rin to a big patch of blue colored flowers.
Sesshomaru and I stayed behind to talk. "This girl seems familiar. Her scent does anyways. I just can't place a finger on it" I said while Sesshomaru stared at me "did you ever attack a village to the west of here?" 'Why is he asking me this?' "yes, but what does that have to do with anything?" "She used to live there. Then some wolves attacked her village and killed her" "what? She's dead?" "not anymore. I brought her back to life" "look, I didn't know she was there" It seemed like Maki and Ichi over heard, because they came walking over. "what all happened?" Ichi said trying to solve this problem. Sesshomaru explained everything. "well...If he hadn't killed her, then you wouldn't have smelt her blood...and if that hadn't of happened then you wouldn't have resurrected her. Then she wouldn't be following you around now" she said that all in one breath. "I guess that that is true..." Sesshomaru admitted. ~~~~~end ch 6...but if you don't read this next part you SHALL BE LOST FOREVER!~~~~

A/N: ok, now I am going to explain how everything happened before Ichi and her family fell into the past. Ok...Inuyasha never meet Sesshomaru after he awoke from Kikyo's spell. Which is why Sesshomaru still has both arms. This is how Inuyasha got the tesaiga *spelling!!! I don't know!!* When Kagome was in danger with that toad monster. You know, the episode where this dude and his monkey are trying to save this princess...if that doesn't ring a bell, then TOO BAD!! Any ways, when Kagome was in trouble, The tesaiga came out of Inuyasha's eye and automatically transformed. They never meet Kouga either. That's a little obvious since the birds of paradise were still alive. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo are there and all. I think that covers it. If I didn't explain something, review. I answer reviews, with my own reviews. .....¬.¬ oh yeah...I gotta leave... Poster Note: BWAHAHA THIS IS MAKI YES THE MAKI!!! *Sessy da fluffy one* ^^ I JUST HAVE TO SAY SESSHY-KUN ROX THE BEEFWADS! XD Oh... and that YOU HAD BETTER REVIEW THIS WONNERFIBBLE STORY OR YOU SHALL BE CURSED ETERNALLY! Yes... This is Maki... not Ichi... ^^;;; so don't yell at her for this... *gets dragged away in a straight jacket...* NEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! bwahaha
