****************************

Kauru relished in the feel of Kenshn's arms around her as they walked toward the dojo, their home. She smiled as she opened the gate and stepped into the dojo yard.



She hadn't been home for a week, and she had missed the comfort of the familliar surroundings. Sighing softly, she sat down on the steps of the porch. Kenshin gave her a worried glance.

"I'm fine, i'm just glad to be back home." She leaned against te post and relaxed.

"Dont get up, I am going to make lunch, that I am, Call me if you need anything." He said sternly. After she laughed and nodded, he left her on the porch and went into the kitchen.

Kauru dozed in the breeze as the sounds of Kenshin in the kitchen comforted her.

Soon after, she felt Kenshin pick her up and walk inside. She opened her eyes and smiled up at his face, showing him that she was awake and ready to eat. he sat her down at the table and watched her eat.

After lunch, Kauru decided that she wanted to walk around. she wrapped her arms around kenshin's and they walked out of town. The breeze playing with both of their hair and sleeves.

As they reached the forest, the ground began to shake violently, and a hole opened up beneath them Kenshin heard Kauru's screams in his ears as they both fell intothe dark abyss.

***********

Kagome smiled as Inuyasha stopped early for the day. He took her off to a secluded spot outside of camp, toward a small clearing where a small spring ran through it. He undid her top, and began to unwrap the bandages around her chest and arms.

Her skin tingled at his touch, and her face grew warm as his clawed hands brushed against her belly.

Inuyasha was blushing too, it was different when she was asleep, it was another thing altogether when she was awake. Suddenly he found her bare chested, her breasts with their small cherry peaks open for him to see. He quickly fumbled for a new bandage and began wraping her wounds again. one, near her collar bone lookd like it was doing worse than the others. He had encountered this kind of thing when his mom was alive, too. he remembered that the only way to get the poison out was by sucking the wound.

Inuyasha blushed a deep crimson at the thought, but he was the only one to do it. He would not trust that lecherous monk, Sango was pure human, and the poison would kill her, Shippou and himself were the onlly ones left, and the Kinorri had never encountered anything like it, so he wouldn't know how to do it, and he might kill Kagome by accident.

Inuyasha tied off the bandage just short of the cut, and looked into Kagome's eyes.

"Kagome, the cut above our collar bone is infected with poison." He said, deciding to be honest.



"What?" she asked looking scared.

"There is a way to get it out..." Inuyasha gulped nervously."But I...It has to be sucked out by a demon."



Kagome nodded slowly.

"I am the only one who can."

"I know."

Kagome tilted back her head and lay against the rock.

Inuyasha tenatively reached forward, sliding his hand under the ack of her neck, he lifted her to him.

He began licking at the wound, Smiling slightly as she sighed in pleasure, he began to suck out the poison, tasting blood, he nearly recoiled in horror until he tased the poison intermingled with it. he continued until he could taste the poison no more, then drew back.

Kaome looked at him in surprise, she was slightly pale, but more normal than she had been in a week.



Suddenly, the ground started to shake, making the stream topple over it's banks and onto the grass.

Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and jumped high into the air.

A familiar glow grew on the opposite side of the stream and grew to blinding purportions. Then suddenly the flash was gone, and the earth had stopped moving. Inuyasha let himself float to the ground to land with ease.

Kagome ghasped as she looked toward the place the light had originated.

She took in the features of two people holding eachother tight, they looked as if they had passed out in each others arms. A red haired man with a cross shaped scar on his left cheek, and a girl a few years older that she was with black hair that was held up with a blue ribbon. Kagome noted with awe that the woman looked a lot like her.

They wee wearing kimonos, he man was wearing fusha, and the girl was wearing blue. both were wearing gis. and hakamas, the girl had a bokken strapped on her back, and the boy had a sword at his belt.

The man opened his eyes first. He looked at his surroundings, then at them, his eyes narrowed, and he drew his sword.

Kenshin sensed something was wrong about is surroundings, but he couldn't concntrate on that when there were people around that could harm Kauru. The white haired boy drew hs sword.

"What do you want with us?" he asked.

" what do you mean 'what do you want with us?' you ae the ones that came out of nowhere and drew your sword." The white haired man said.

Kenshin noticed a girl that looked like a younger version of Kauru standing behind the boy. Kenshin sheathed his Sakaba tou, and tossed the sheath to the gound at his feet.

The sword didn't transform, which meant that the two in front of him were human. Inuyasha sheathed his sword and threw it down as well.

"Miss Kauru is stilll asleep, could you give us a safe place to stay for the night?" Kenshn asked the black haired girl.

"Yes." His face inspired trust, and his eyes betrayed their feelings, so she would try to help them as much as she can.

"Arigato. thank you for your kindness, we both appretiate it." Kenshin said bowing.

After Kenshin had picked up Kauru, he followed Inuyasha though the woods. Soon he was impatient and asked the boy to speed up, ignoring the boys ears that poked out from either side of the top of his head.

"Sure, hope you can keep up." The boy said, sweeping the woman onto his back, he started running.



Kenshin easily kept pace with the boy.



Inuyasha was impressed. this human was nearly as fast as most youkai. Soon they were back at camp.

"I am Kagome, This is Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and you have already met Inuyasha." Kagome said introducing them all to Kenshin. Kauru asleep in his arms.

"I am very glad to meet you all." Kenshin said.



"Kagome is a miko, Sango is an ex demon hunter, Miroku is a monk, Inuyasha is a hanyou, and I am a fox youkai." Shippou volunteered cheerfully.



Ah, so that's why he boy has dog ears. Kenshin thought to himself.

Kauru stirred in his arms and opened her eyes.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!"
