Sesshomaru knew there was something going on between the looks that Arkwyn gave Rin. Almost motherly.

It really had just a cured and settled in his brain after the way he watched her gently wake Rin up when they arrived.

Rin awoke with a yawn.

"We are here? So soon?"

"Yes Rin."

"Aw, and I was having a really good dream too!" an upset Rin replied.

"What was it about?" Arkwyn asked, taking one hand to lay over her wounds, and another to hold her bag, Which was a little hard for her.

"Don't strain yourself." Sesshomaru said quietly as he reached for the bag from Arkwyn's grasp.

"It was about all of us living here! I had a new kitten, AND a new baby brother." A happy little Rin exclaimed.

"Wh-what?"

Sesshomaru stopped, hand reaching out mid-air, and Arkwyn stopped, dropping the bag on the ground.

Arkwyn looked from Rin to Sesshomaru, a pleaded look across her delicate and worried features.

Sesshomaru saw that look that Arkwyn gave him, and instantly straightened up, reached out and picked up the bag, then mumbled,

"Childish dreams."

"But if felt so real!" Rin said following Sesshomaru as he took a few steps forward.

"Hey!" Arkwyn hollered, slowly following behind them. "Don't leave me just because I can't walk fast enough!"

Sesshomaru stopped walking, sighed, then gave the bag to rin and went over to Arkwyn.

He seemed to be thinking deeply of something, then carefully picked Arkwyn up bridal style again, and started to walk once more.

Rin just grinned and held on to Arkwyn's bag tightly.

"So...where can we get the medicine Rin was talking about?" Sesshomaru asked coolly, trying desperately not to turn his head and look at her, For embarrassment reasons.

It wasn't often he was carrying a girl around.

"Um....you know, you really don't have to do this." Arkwyn stated.

"Don't worry. I wont drop you or anything." Sesshomaru replied with a queer reassurance.

"I don't know. Rin knows, I think. I hope."

They looked to Rin who was beaming at them.

"This is the way my dream started."

"Rin, stop that nonsense and tell us where the medicine is." Sesshomaru snapped.

"ohhhhh ok. I think you're just embarrassed to emit you might like it!" Rin said with that evil little, I'll get anything I want smile.

Oh brother! Arkwyn sighed in her mind. What am I supposed to do

just laying in his arms while she goes off about that stuff?

Sesshomaru frowned at rin.

"It's called The Mushroom,"

"Ok......"

"And it's on Bloomington street."

"Hey rin?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you know so much about this shop?"

"The old healing lady told me about it!"

"Oh.

"Well, there is some sort of sign that points to Bloomington street." Sesshomaru said, stretching out one finger from his clasped hand to point at the sign.

"Ok....I can walk now. There are a lot of people, and they might think it kind of weird to see you carrying me around that way." Arkwyn said slowly.

There was something about the way that Arkwyn said, "That way." That made Sesshomaru's cheeks feeling heated, and himself in an odd position.

So he slowly and gently put her down.

"Hey Sesshomaru," Arkwyn asked, head turning with wispy pieces of her dark brown hair nipping at her face as the wind blew a small cool breeze.

"Beautiful."

"Uh Sesshomaru? Hello?" Arkwyn said, waving a hand in front of his face.

Damnit! Sesshomaru thought. Did I just say that out loud?

"Oh, sorry. Guess I just zoned out. I'm not really used to all this busyness with life. What is it?"
