A/N: So far no flames but I guess Kilala will have to burn Jaken. Or maybe Kagome can purify him... Poor Jaken, every one hates him. But who cares.

Disclaimer: Don't Own. But if I had my way Kikyou would have been killed for good in the shouki in episode 138(i think), or Kagome wouldn't have been able to save her.

......................Chapter 4: Six months later. Pretty Crystal in the woods..................

"Lord Sesshoumaru doesn't like a lowly ningen like you!" jaken said

"Yea-huh. He likes me better than anyone!" Rin countered.

"No he Does NOT!"

"Does TOO!"

"Nuh-ah!"

"Yea-Huh!"

"Does not!"

"Does TO!"

Rin and Jaken were in a flower field sitting on a log arguing about who Sesshoumaru liked better. Rin had been there for 6 months traveling with Sesshoumaru. They were once again waiting for him to come back. Rin had grown very close to Sesshoumaru. But, she still didn't appreciate have Jaken as a babysitter.

"Why would Sesshoumaru-sama like a little baka nigen like you?"

"Why would he like a little toad like you?"

"Because, I have been his faithful servant for 357 years! And I'm not a toad! I'm a Youkai!!"

"Well I am cute, nice, I make good food, I sing good, I know about herbs, and I've be a perfect angel for the past 6 months, and Sesshoumaru-sama says I smell better than most nigens. And you ARE a toad. You even eat bugs!"

"DO NOT!! I should kill you."

"Urisue! You're just mad cuz you're an ugly toad and Sesshoumaru-sama likes me better!"

"You are NOT his companion. If anything he'll use you as a snack or target practice."

Sesshoumaru was coming back from his family healer (kinda like a doctor) and was deep in thought about what the healer had told him...

"Sesshoumaru-no-dono, I grow old and I shall pass on soon. I have served your family for the past 1,980 years and I need your help."Said an acient looking earth elemental youkai. he's a wrinkly old man with all gray hair and pointy fuzzy white eye brows. He has intense yet gentle old green/red eyes. And, has a smiley-like face and tends to ramble. And has a green herb mark on his fore head that tells ppl that he's a royal healer demon. Like's sess's moon tell ppl he's a youkai lord."I am the only one who knows of your weaknesses," He continued "...and if one of your enemies were to find me I won't speak a word. Demo, if they had mind reading powers then I'm afraid that I'm an open scroll. I need you to go to the wood in the heart of the eastern wolf youkai territories and fetch me these herbs."

He handed Sesshoumaru a scroll with just the names of the herbs on them.

"Gather them, then give them to the mikos in the village in Inuyasha's forest. One of them is called Kaede and the other is called Kik- no not that...ummm... well it's some thing with a Ka at the beginning... Oh dear... Oh! It's Kagome! Yes! I believe that's her name. I think you may have met at one point. She travels with Inuyasha-no-dono. She's the one who broke the Shikon-no-tama if I remember correctly. I need them to make me a potion that will make a barrier around my mind so as to not let anyone know its content. Well you should be on your way."

"Healer. This Sesshoumaru knows nothing of these kinds of herbs." Sesshoumaru said.

"Aaah, but that adorable little Rin knows plenty. Show her that list and she'll get them for you. Your young ward is a very unique girl. Keep her close. Her soul is surprisingly pure for a human. Especially after what she's been through."

"Do you think this Sesshoumaru would bother with a dirty common nigen?"

"Of course not. I would be beneath you."

"I'll be on my way."

"Oh and Sesshoumaru!"

"Hai."

"Don't anger the younger miko. She holds immense power and she can't control it. I doubt she could kill you but if wanted to she just might. I'm sure you don't need to worry about her just be on your guard."

"Shut up old man. This Sesshoumaru never lets his guard down."

Sesshoumaru was taken out of his thoughts by Rin and Jaken in the distance.

Jaken was so busy yelling at Rin that he didn't even notice Sesshoumaru walk into the field. He just stood there with his back to his maser, treatening Rin as throwing a tantrum.

Rin had seen Sesshoumaru come into the field and shot him a mischievous smile over Jaken's head. Sesshoumaru gave her a nod.

"What makes you think that the great Sesshoumaru-sama would stoop so low as to eat a human? Especially ME! And even if that WAS true-which it's NOT- I wouldn't care because I love Sesshoumaru like he's my Oto-san! So THERE!"

Sesshoumaru chose now to make his presence known. Just as Jaken lifted his staff of heads to bash Rin's skull in, Sesshoumaru grabbed it and said, "Yes Jaken, I must agree with Rin on that one. Do you think so lowly of your master that I would eat Rin?"

"Lie (no)!!! Never Sesshoumaru-sama!! A-re, a-re ummm... Blah.... ...." Jaken felt so confused/guilty that he passed out from the stress.

"Rin compose your-self." Sesshoumaru said to Rin as she held her sides in laughter, while trying not to chuckle himself.

"Ha-hai, Ses-shoumaru-sss-haha--sama" Rin really WAS trying to stop but the look on Jaken's face before he passed out was priceless. Well it had to be for the ice king to crack a smile AND laugh.

After they got a hold of them selves Sesshoumaru said, "Rin, we will be entering the heart of the Eastern Wolf Territories tomorrow where your village used to be. The herbs in that area are some of the best in Japan. I need you to show me where you got the ones you used for my wounds six months ago. I am going to take them to a village on the edge of the Western Lands to a village in Inuyasha's Forest and have the miko make a potion for me. I know you are afraid of the woods but you don't think that I would be beaten by mere wolves or humans now do you Little Rin"

When Rin heard the mention of her old village made her blood run clod. But, then she heard Sesshoumaru say that he needed HER she was happier than she had been when she was in other world with her mom!

"Lie, Sesshoumaru-sama is the strongest! Rin wi-"

"Rin what did I tell you?"

"I will be strong and help Sesshou- you."

"Good Rin. Now go fetch something to eat and get some water for Jaken."

"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama."
And with that Rin left. Sesshoumaru leaned over Jaken and blew some poison fumes in his face. Jaken smelled it and woke up sputtering.

"Jaken!"

"Eeeeeek! Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"Don't you ever lift a hand, claw, foot, of staff to Rin EVER again. Is that understood Jaken?"

"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama."
And with that Jaken was sent flying through the air with Sesshoumaru's foot mark on his little behind.

A/N: Another chappie, another day. What do you think will happen in the next chappie?

Next chappie: Rin finds a pretty crystal in the woods like the one the wolf man had. Sesshoumaru says it's a Shinkon shard and that she can make a wish on it. What will she wish for? Read to find out.

P.S. PLEASE R&R for every chapter if it's not too much trouble. And for those of you who care the healer lives in a cave in the heart of the western lands near sess's castle.

PLEASE REVIEW!!
