As Inuyasha, Shippo and Kouga were walking through the forest as a group, Inuyasha remained silent in deep thought.

'Shit...never in my lifetime would I ever had thought I would have to have the assistance of this thickheaded wolf leader. If he touches Kagome, I swear I will make him go through hell.'

He hissed out at the thought of the wolf youkai came entered his mind. He remembered clearly that day when the youkai stated out the he had fallen in love with Kagome. He growled to himself again as that certain memory flowed freely into his head.

"What's the matter dog-turd?"

"Shut up! None of your business!"

"Well excuse me half-breed, but be aware that I am only helping you for Kagome's sake."

"Feh...once we save her your next."

Kouga smirked to himself at his response and laughed to himself, "We'll see dog-turd."

"Stop calling me that, you mangy wolf!"

"And who's gonna stop me?"

"I'll fucking kill you!"

"Will you to quit it?!" Shippo shouted out, angered by the arguing between the two stubborn youkai. Both Inuyasha and Kouga faced the little fox demon and yelled out to him.

"Stay out of it!"

With that one shout in unison, Shippo flew back and felt a sweat drop appear.

"This...is not good." Shippo sighed out.

A girl with her body laid on the Great Demon Lord's shoulder having an annoyed look at the fact she had to be kidnapped. Kagome knew that she had to show Sesshoumaru that she was no afraid…at least she would try. They walked through the dark forest in silence as the path became clearer and both saw the figure of Sesshoumaru's servant, Jaken.

"My lord, I am glad to see you are back."

"Hnn…" Sesshoumaru passed him by without reply and continued heading forward.

"My lord, I wanted to let you know that…what in seven hells is that wench doing here?!"

The solemn youkai spoke, "I took her so my half-breed brother will come for her. This human is making him weak and I want an actual battle with him knowing that we are equal in power. This weakling is in the way..."

"Hey! I heard that, just you wait!"

Sesshoumaru dropped her onto the floor and dusted off her shoulder.

"Stupid human girl…"

"Is this necessary, my lord?"

As Sesshoumaru gave a cold glance at his servant as a familiar scent came filling her senses. He looked ahead as he heard the small running footsteps coming toward his form.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!"

A little human girl came running toward the youkai and jumped up wrapping her little arms around his leg.

"Rin is happy to see Sesshoumaru-sama."

Kagome moved her body up from the ground as she saw the little child actually hugging the Great Lord of the West.

'What is going on? A little human girl...with Sesshoumaru?! I must be daydreaming. Sesshoumaru, that demon who has hated all humans all of his life would have a little girl with him? She must be a servant or something...weird'

"Rin, it's late. Go to sleep now."

"Okay Sesshoumaru-sama. Rin will do as you say and sleep." She gave him a big smile and began running off "Good night Sesshoumaru-sama!"

She then ran by a near by tree, resting her body against it.

"Jaken, come with me..."

"But my lord, what about the wench?"

"She won't go anywhere..." He then looked darkly at the Kagome with threatening eyes. "If she tries, I'll find her and punish her. But I know she wouldn't do anything stupid..."

Sesshoumaru turned his back to the group and began walking away, with Jaken pacing to his master's side. Kagome pulled her body up, brushing the dirt off her body and clothes. She looked over at the little girl called Rin and walked towards her, sitting next to her.

"So...your name is Rin?"

The little girl opened her eyes and looked at her with a warm, cheerful smile.

"Yep. Rin is my name. What is yours?"

"Kagome..."

"Kagome-chan…that's a pretty name!"

She laughed slightly to herself, "Why are you with Sesshoumaru...how did you meet him?"

"I found Sesshoumaru-sama injured and Rin went over to help him. He wouldn't except my help. Rin came to him everyday with food but he never took it. One day, wolves attacked Rin's village and Rin was hurt. Then Sesshoumaru-sama came and saved me. Ever since then, Rin never leave Sesshoumaru-sama's side."

"So...he saved you life."

The little girl nodded in reply and Kagome put on a little smile.

'Unbelievable...I would've never thought he would do such a thing. Maybe he does have a heart. Maybe Rin's innocence got to him. I would've never guessed such a little girl would have an impact on a cold-hearted youkai.'

"We should go to sleep Rin, it is getting late."

"All right, good night Kagome-chan!"

"Good night Rin."

Both girls closed their eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep. Kagome could only thing what would happen tomorrow.

'Inuyasha...please come soon...'
