"ACHOO!" Rin sneezed.
Jaken looked up, as Rin blew her nose on her kimono.
"Rin! You shouldn't do that..." warned Jaken, "We don't get to wash our clothes very often.
"Not at all!", Rin volunteered, and sneezed again.
"RIN!"
"Sesshomaru-sama! Jaken's annoying me!"
"So?" was the response, "I, Sesshomaru, do not care."
"But, Sesshomaru-sama..."
"Jaken is a pest. Have you not learned that by now?"
"I've learned that he's useless."
"RIIIIIIIIN!" Jaken was annoyed by now. Rin sneezed so hard she sat down.
"Sesshobaru-saba, do't you tink you should heal me wit Tedseiga?" Rin asked, heavily congested.
"No." Sesshomaru said flatly, and kept walking.
"Why dot?"
"Because it will make you stronger." They kept walking, Rin sneezing on the way, when they heard voices. Familiar voices.

"I'm telling you, I was sick, but I tried that stuff that Kagome gave me, and I felt better quite soon!"
Another voice was heard, the voice of a well-known monk.
"I still don't believe you, Sango."
"Will you guys stop arguing? Don't you want to get more shards of the Shikon no Tama?"
That voice...It made Sesshomaru twitch when he heard that voice. The voice of a hanyou, a half demon. The voice of his brother.
"SIT, Inuyasha!" yelled the last voice, "You do NOT try to take the shards! Haven't you learned that already?"
At that, Sesshomaru strode into the clearing. Inuyasha turned a ghastly white, and pointed.
"Sess...Sessh...Sessho..Sesshoma..."
"Are you a half-wit? Of course it is Sesshomaru."
Inuyasha cringed.
"Are you so weak that you cower at my very name? I have not come to fight."
Sango, Miroku, and Kagome all gave him frightened looks and hid behind nearby trees.
"In fact, I've come to ask you a favor."
"Oh, Reeeeeeaaaaally? What would the great Sesshomaru-sama want from a half demon like me?" Inuyasha taunted.
Sesshomaru laid his hand on Toukojin. Inuyasha blanched, and took a few steps back. Rin sneezed. They heard voices from the trees.
"See, Sango? I told you that chemical stuff didn't heal you!"
"That wasn't me sneezing, you idiot!" Sesshomaru saw a very human arm reach out of the tree, and slap the neighboring tree.
"Sangooooo! Do you want to meet my Kazaana?"
A few insects flew by.
"...Drat."
"Precisely."
"...Huh?" said Inuyasha, turning back to his conversation with Sesshomaru.
"I said, 'precisely', half breed."
"Grrrrr..." Inuyasha growled, as he grabbed Tetsusaiga's hilt. Sesshomaru unsheathed Toukojin slightly, oh so slightly...just enough for the light to catch the blade. Again, Inuyasha turned white, and stumbled backwards.
"I need the girl to help me."
Inuyasha was shocked.
"W-what? You...you mean...Sango?"
The tree that slapped the other emitted a low growl.
"No, fool. The girl from the future. Kagome, isn't it?" Sesshomaru strode over to the tree that Kagome was hiding behind, and picked her up by her blouse. "Rin, come here."
Rin skipped up happily. "Hi, Iduyasha! Sesshobaru-saba told be you're ad idiot. Do't worry, sobe people are just daturally stu - "
"Rin, be quiet around this slobbering fool."
Inuyasha growled.
"As you can tell by her voice, Rin is sick. I need the girl to bring her into the future and get some healing potions for her."
"...Can't you just heal her with Tenseiga?" asked Kagome, still being held on to by the back of her blouse.
"Um..." Sesshomaru had expected them to be too stupid to remember the Tenseiga. He needed to think of something - quickly. "Tenseiga doesn't heal someone more than once," he lied. "And I've already used it on her."
"Twice." Jaken hastily volunteered.
"NO, NOT TWICE, YOU IDIOT!" Sesshomaru yelled ask he kicked Jaken sky-high. Two heads came out from behind two trees, staring and sweatdropping. A toad-ish thing came down from the sky, between the two disagreeing trees. One of the trees yelled "EW!".
"Should I suck it in with my Kazaana? asked the other. A few insects flew by.
"...Drat."
