Hey! Thanks to all who reviewed! Yukino loves you! Man its really hot where I am so I'm probably not gonna be on long, so I'm gonna try to make this a good chapter. And if I can I'll update again today.---------------------------

Sesshoumaru woke up pretty early that morning, he sat up and looked at where the fire had been. Seeing that it had burned out, he sighed. He was about to get up when he felt something cling to him. "Hmm." he said looking down, there was Rei, using him as a pillow and poor Inuyasha as a bed. His lip curled a bit and for a very rare moment, he chuckled, it was soft and quiet, very unused. He stopped his rare laugh and took hold of his sister gently prying her arms off him and lifting her up and off of Inuyasha as well to lean her against a tree and let her sleep there. He stood up and started walking, to go and get some more wood so that when his siblings woke up he wouldn't have to hear them whine, or at least that was his explanation for it. He got a bit deep into the forest, exiting the clearing they had camped in. His eyes glanced around idly for wood as he picked up a few along the way. His mind started to wander, going over different thoughts. "Why does Naraku want it over all of a sudden? Would'nt he be perfectly content to draw it on? Hmm, no its not his style. Hes probably just run out of ideas." he thought with a smirk at that, though somewhere inside of him he knew that wasn't it. Though the thought did entertain him.

Another thing that nagged his mind was a question about Rei. He wondered why she even bothered to come look for them to give that message, and why stay around afterwards? The fight would probably just get her hurt in some way. Why would she stay around if that would probably happen? He just didn't get it. Could it be that it something more to her? Should he bring it up? Thats when he decided. He would. "Yes, yes, thats it. I'll ask her when she wakes up." he thought turning to head back to camp with the wood he gathered. When he got back he saw that Inuyasha was awake. Inuyasha looked over at him and smiled a bit "Oh great. Its freezing." he said and Sesshoumaru dropped the wood near his brother "I gathered, you start it." he said with a smirk. Inuyasha sighed "Hey! I did it yesterday!" he said and Sesshoumaru just mentally waved his argument off and said "I dont care." he said, calmly walking away. Inuyasha let the subject fall, knowing it probably wouldn't get anywhere. "Where are you going?" he asked and Sesshoumaru answered "A walk." he said simply, going out of sight now.

Inuyasha sighed "Still as distant as ever." he muttered before going over with the wood in his arms and beginning to make a fire. In the woods Sesshoumaru was sitting against a tree, his eyes closed in thought. "Once we defeat Naraku...I should continue my old path of trying to get the tetsagai..or should I just stay with them. I guess I am a bit happy here. Its a nice change from the constant fights." he thought to himself, trying to figure the situation out. He then got up deciding he had been gone a bit to long and started back. When he got there he saw that Rei had finally woken up, and had gotten herself into a fight with Inuyasha. "Why dont you say that to me face, you idiot!" Inuyasha said and Rei turned red with anger and got up in his face "You ugly, foul loathesome cockroach." she said with a smirk, just getting Inuyasha even angrier. Sesshoumaru sighed "Are you going to do this on all of our travels?" he asked them and they blushed from embarrassment "Well its that fools fault!" they both said pointing to one another. "Dont you dare say what I say!" Inuyasha said and Rei stuck her tongue at him and left a glaring Inuyasha to sit next to the fire. "Brat." she muttered. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and turned away as well, not saying anything more.

Sesshoumaru smirked "I think you two might be two of a kind." he said and they both seemed insulted by that. They both looked over at him "Shut up!" they yelled, angry. Sesshoumaru smirked at them and didnt say anything. "Yes, yes." he said and looked at Rei "I want to talk to you, come." he said simply. Rei looked a bit curious and stood up walking over to him, ready to follow. Inuyasha didnt pay much attention to them and just let his thoughts wander as they left. A little further away Rei and Sesshoumaru had started there discussion. "You know that theres a chance you'll get killed, correct?" he asked. Rei nodded "Yeah, I guess so." she said. "Then why did you agree to come along? You didnt put up a fight. I dont understand." he said. Rei smiled "I dont want to be alone." she said simply. Sesshoumaru tilted his head "How would you be alone?" he asked. Rei answered "I left the home I was raised in a while ago. It got boring. I have nowhere else to go but stay with you both." she said. And that was it for Sesshoumaru, the word both convinced him. She would stay with both of them, its what she obviously wanted. If he were to go his separate ways with Inuyasha she would have to choose. And he didnt want to do that to her. He was going to stay with them now. "I see." he said simply, giving a brief smile. "You wish to stay with...both of us?" he asked. She nodded "Of course!" she exclaimed, a bit confused at why he seemed so suprised. That was the moment both of them got what they wanted, a family.
