A/N: OMG I don't know if you noticed this or not but I completely forgot about Aun/ Ah and Un. Let's just say they were napping while Rin and Jaken were arguing. Now, on with the story...

They had been traveling for 3 days when Sesshoumaru, Rin, Aun, and Jaken entered the heart of the Eastern Lands. They had reached the flower field that Rin had been in before she had met Sesshoumaru when a youkai that Rin recognized the wolf man from 6 months ago (yes it's Kouga) came and blocked their path.

"Why is it that you block my path, wolf?" Sesshoumaru asked.

"I could ask you the same question, dog boy." Said the 'wolf-man', as Rin liked to call him.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said.

"Hai Rin." Said Sesshoumaru calmly despite his irritation that she had interrupted. But he knew she knew better. And the urgency in her voice confirmed his suspicions that it was important.

"Gomen-ne Sesshoumaru-sama, demo, this is the man that killed ri-me 6 months ago." When Kouga heard her say Sesshoumaru it made his blood run cold. 'oh Kami! I just called the Western Lord dog boy. I'M SO DEAD!' and Kouga would've been right if it hadn't been for 3 things:

1)Rin was there and Sesshy wouldn't shed blood in front of her.

2)The area had the herbs that they needed.

3)Sess didn't feel like fighting an easy battle. Kouga didn't have a chance Shards or no.

"Rin, why don't you go flower picking."

"Hai Sesshoumaru-sama." Then Rin did as she was told followed by Aun. When Rin was out of hearing distance of their conversation Sesshoumaru began,

"Why do you block this Sesshoumaru's path, Wolf?"

"You're an intruder in my lands. And did that Nigen girl just say my wolves KILLED HER?"

"I am just here for some herbs and haven't the time to be bothered by the likes of you."

"You didn't answer my question, Lord Sesshoumaru."

'Well, at lest the wolf has manners' Sesshoumaru thought.

"It's not a problem for Sesshoumaru-sama to resurrect the dead you wimpy little wolf!" Jaken butted in. Not good for his health don't you think.

"Jaken! Do not interrupt me. Now get out of my sight before I have Rin decorate you with flowers and face paint and have it painted and send it to your family. And don't even attempt to commit suicide because like you said, it's not problem for this Sesshoumaru to bring you back."

Jaken went blue streak and thought it'd be better for his health if he go check on Rin. He did so. I guess Jaken is smarter than we give him credit for, ne? NO WAY!!! Just his self preservation instinct kicking in. Any ways,

"Out of the way wolf! I have business to take care of. I do not wish to be here for the stench of your wolves and the dirty villagers of your lands terrorizes my nose. This Sesshoumaru will be gone at sunset." And with that said Rin could be seen behind Sesshoumaru with herbs in her hands.

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin found herbs! Are they on Sesshoumaru-sama's list?" Rin came and handed Sesshoumaru the herbs and he took out the list.

"Rin, what are the names of the herbs you brought?"

"Rin found, Perilla, Mint, Sienna, Spearmint, Valerian, White willow, Witch Hazel, Shi-so zi-su, Fo Ti, and Garlic. Perilla is a good one for cooking cuz it makes meat taste good and it smells delicious. Mint can be used as a good flavor for sweets and you can use it to clear your nose, especially when you have a cold. Sienna is a laxative, Spearmint is good for indigestion, Valerian is a tranquilizer, White Willow can be made into aspi-umm head ache stuff to make it go away, Witch Hazel is for cuts and bruises to heal them, Shi-so Zi-su is ummm... I'm not sure. My mommy used it for something... any ways, Fo Ti is a longevity herb, and garlic wards of blood sucking bugs and demons. And it's good for cooking."

Sesshoumaru was completely taken aback with how much Rin knew. Of coarse his face betrayed his feelings for he still had his emotionless mask on.

"Excuse me!" Kouga interrupted "But if you haven't noticed I'm still here! I will allow you to stay in my lands for the night but I want you gone tomorrow. With all do respect lord I don't like the stench of dogs. But as for the little girl she smells surprisingly pleasant and she is rather bright for a nigen." And with that Kouga left in a whirlwind.

"Rin many of these herbs are on the list. Very good. I am not that knowledgeable about herbs for I rarely need them. Stay with Jaken and Aun and look for more. I am going to hunt for us. Be careful and don't get lost. I'll be back in an hour or so. It'll be dark soon so make camp over where you left Jaken and be there at sun set."

"Hai Sesshoumaru-sama." And with that Rin went towards Jaken and Aun and in to the forest where she was looking for herbs. Sesshoumaru went to find a boar for dinner.

Being in the woods reminded Rin of her days before he parents died and the day she found Sesshoumaru. She had been walking for a few minutes when she recognized a tree. (A/N: yea I know weird but hold up a sec.) It had her mother's and her name carved in it and a little inscription on it. It said "Rin and Renei, Always with you in your heart." "Kaa-san" She shook herself out of her thoughts and put her mind on the task at had. She walked a little ways away and came to a little stream.

"Oh! This is where all the best herbs are! Ah! Un! Come help Rin pick herbs for Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin said

And Rin was right. The best herbs in Japan were right there. The reason Demons weren't trying to over load the Eastern Lands was because the Eastern Lord was generous and if they invaded the herbs would die. Rin was picking the herbs when all of a sudden Ah stuck his head up. Then growled so that the head named Un perked up too.

Then out of the trees a came a youkai with 3 eyes and was only a body with arms. It had 3 rows of razor sharp fangs and had a big messy wad of red hair on the top of its head in between its horns. "I will devourer you SOUL!!" It screamed. "Give me you s-GUH!" It didn't get to finish its sentence because just as it was above Rin's head Ah shot a lighting bolt from its mouth. Rin stood up and looked at the Demon's face twisted in pain and was speechless. Then the demon disintegrated and Rin saw a shiny thing on its back and said, "oooooh.. pretty" Then the 'shiny thing' came and Rin stuck her two hands out in front of her (Like when you squish a mosquito) and caught the shiny thing. When she touched the shiny thing, it turned all the way pink. Instead of the black it had been.

"Ah-Un! This is one of those Pretty Crystals like the wolf man put in his arm 6 mon cycles ago! Let's get more herbs and show it to Sesshoumaru-sama!" So, Rin and Aun picked herbs for another hour and headed back to camp.

When they got there just before Rin got out of the trees Jaken came whizzing by her face and nearly taking her head off! Obviously because of his annoying nature he got kicked by Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru had just finished slicing the boar he caught and had already gotten rid of the useless stuff like the head and organs. (He didn't want Rin to see the gory stuff ewww nasty!)

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin ran up and hugged Sesshoumaru and he patted her head. (there's no blood on his hands.) "Look Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin found a pretty crystal! Rin got attacked by a youkai that wanted her soul and Aun saved me! This was in its back!" And then she showed Sesshoumaru the 'pretty crystal' and he said,

"Rin, that's a Shinkon Jewel shard. It gives humans and youkai power. You can make a wish on it and it'll come true."

"Really?! Sugoi"

"Rin put that in this pouch. It will hide it from other youkai. If you have that they will attack you. This will hide its aura so they won't see or sense it." (aww! how sweet! sess is being caring!)

Then Sesshoumaru gave her a sack that was small enough to only fit about 5 marbles in it. It was a demon skin pouch. It's used to hide auras of demonic items. It works for Shinkon shards too. Rin put it in the pouch and put it in her kimono sleeve pocket. (Let's say that on the inside of the sleeve there's a little pocket)

"Now Rin, it's time to eat go wash up and you can use some of the garlic and the other herbs to prepare the meat." Sesshoumaru told her. And Rin did as she was told.

About 30 minutes later the meat was cooking over the fire and almost done. With all the seasonings on it, it smelled delicious. Even Sesshoumaru's mouth was watering. (A/N: NO HE ISN"T DROOLONG) While they ate (Jaken had regained his senses while it was cooking and knows nothing of the shard) Sesshoumaru was thinking of what Rin would wish for, Rin was trying to decide between the two wishes she wanted

A/N: BWAH-HA-HA-HA!! EVIL CLIFFIE!!! : p just playing. Sorry for the delay but I got in trouble yesterday and wasn't aloud on the com
