============ Chapter 4 ============

Sesshomaru woke up in the protective arms of Inuyasha. He smiled as he looked at Inuyasha's face; he loved him so much, he just wished he had the courage to tell him.

Inuyasha's eyes fluttered open and looked into Sesshomaru's eyes; they both looked at each other and smiled.

"Morning..." Inuyasha whispered as he brushed a few hairs away from Sesshomaru's eyes.

"Morning..." Sesshomaru whispered back.

Just then the door opened and in bounced a very happy Rin. She jumped up into the bed that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were lying in and laid down in between them.

"Morning Rin..." Inuyasha and Sesshomaru said together.

"Morning!" Rin said cheerfully.

"What are you so happy about?" Sesshomaru asked.

"We were invited to a town festival!" Rin exclaimed as she jumped up on the bed. "We get to wear new clothes and everything."

"That's great." Inuyasha said as he sat up on the bed.

Sesshomaru held on to Rin as she got off of the bed, then he followed. All three of them walked out of the room and into the kitchen.

============

"Morning you three." Carla said.

"Morning..." They said as they went to go sit with everyone else.

"How are you Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked. "Carla told us that you got sick last night."

"I'm fine; I think that the medicine she gave me worked." Sesshomaru said.

"Well, for that medicine to work better, you'll need to eat something." Carla said as she set a plate of cooked fish in front of Sesshomaru, she gave everyone fish and they all ate.

Breakfast went by fast and Carla needed Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru, come with me so I can give you some new clothing, everyone else go with my children, they have your clothing, Inuyasha you come with me, I have your clothing along with Sesshomaru's." Carla said.

Everyone went with the person they were told to go with.

============

"Did Rin tell you of the festival that happens tonight?" Carla asked.

"Yes she did, she seems very excited." Sesshomaru said.

"She should be, you two and the others arrived at the right time for the biggest festival of the year." Carla said. "The clothing that all of you are wearing are wearing now is alright, but I think you like what we made for you better."

"When did you make the clothing?" Inuyasha asked.

"I and the family are the best clothe makers in town." Carla said. "We can make just about anything over night."

Sesshomaru looked around the room that they were in and saw many rolls of silk.

"Now Sesshomaru, you go into that room." Carla said as she pointed to a door on the left side of the room. "And Inuyasha, you go in that room over there." She pointed to a door on the left side of the room.

Both of the boys looked at each other, and went into the rooms they were sent to.

============

Right now, Rin was looking at the cloths she was just given. She was wearing an emerald kimono, with pink flower designs stitched into it. Her hair was put up into a bun and sticking out of it were white roses.

"I love this!" She squealed as she ran into Hilary's arms.

"We're glad you do, me and the girls sent nearly all night making the clothing for you and you're friends." Hilary said.

Just then, Kagome came to them. She was wearing clothing that looked just like Kikyo's.

"This is great!" Kagome said as she went to give Hilary a hug. "Where are the other girls?"

"They went into town to help out with the decorations." Hilary said. "I can't wait till Kikyo sees you, you look just like her."

"Who?!" Kagome yelled as she jumped.

"Kikyo, you might not know her." Hilary said.

"I know her, it's just that..." Kagome said.

"Just that what?" Hilary asked.

"Oh nothing..." Kagome said. 'I can't believe she's here.' She thought.

When the jewel was destroyed, it gave some of its power to Kikyo, so now; she doesn't need to souls of other people to live. She disappeared around the time Sesshomaru disappeared and wasn't seen or heard of, until now.

Just then, Sango came up to them.

"How do I look?" Sango asked.

Sango was wearing what looked like her normal clothing, but it was orange. Her eye shadow was orange and she had flower designs all over her.

"You look beautiful..." Kagome said.

"Thanks..." Sango said.

"It's great!" Rin said.

"C'mon, let's see Miroku." Hilary said.

Everyone followed after her.

============

"You look great Miroku!" Jacob exclaimed.

"Why thank you..." Miroku said as he looked at the clothing he was wearing.

The clothing looked the same as to what he was wearing before, but everything was light blue silk.

A moment later, the girls came.

"You look great!" Sango said.

Miroku smiled.

"Hey, what about me?!" Shippo yelled.

Everyone smiled when they saw Shippo. He was wearing a white kimono shirt, with blue kimono pants, and a red collar was wrapped around his neck.

"You look so cute!" Kagome said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I want to see what Inuyasha and Sesshomaru have." Gary said. "The girls wouldn't let us see their clothing last night."

"Okay, let's go." Jackson said.

Everyone followed.

============

As everyone reached the room, Inuyasha exited the room he was changing in.

Inuyasha was wearing something that resembled what he normally wears, but it was black and white silk. The shirt he wore was black, the jacket was white, and the pants were white.

"This looks great, you should wear clothing like this more often." Kagome said.

Inuyasha grunted.

"Well, if you don't like it, at least wear it for the festival while we fix the tares in you clothing." Carla said. "The clothing that you are all wearing now is for the festival only, except for Sesshomaru's and Rin's, the clothing we made for them is for everyday use."

"How do I look?" A timid voice said.

Everyone turned and saw Sesshomaru, their mouths dropped opened.

Sesshomaru was wearing something that looked like that kimono he used to wear, except this one was made in sparkling lavender silk. His eyes had a light hint of lavender eye shadow. And there was no boa or that heavy armor he always wore.

"You look absolutely amazing..." Inuyasha said.

Sesshomaru blushed and looked down at his feet.

"Thank you..." He whispered.

Everyone else was speechless; Sesshomaru in that clothing was probably one of the most beautiful sights they ever saw.

============

Kikyo had just arrived into town; it was night fall and the festival had just begun.

"Kikyo!" A voice exclaimed.

Kikyo turned around and saw that Hailey was running up to her.

"Hello Hailey." Kikyo said.

Hailey gave Kikyo a hug.

"I want you to meet a few people." Hailey said.

"Alright..." Kikyo said.

Hailey held onto Kikyo's hand as they went through crowds of people; as they were going through, many people greeted Kikyo.

"These people came to town a few days ago." Hailey said. "They seem to know you already."

"Oh really?" Kikyo said. "What are their names?"

"Their names are Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kagome, Sango, Shippo, and Rin." Hailey said.

Kikyo gasped, when Hailey heard her, she stopped.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing, nothing at all..." Kikyo said.

Hailey shrugged off Kikyo's behavior and they both continued towards the gang.

============

Everyone was having a great time; the festival was a turning out to be a wonderful event.

"Sesshomaru, do you want some?" Henson asked as he held out a platter to Sesshomaru.

"What are they?" Sesshomaru asked.

"It's stick candy, try it, it's sweet." Henson said.

Sesshomaru picked up a stick and took a bite of the candy.

"It's good." Sesshomaru said.

Henson smiled and went to other people to see if they wanted some.

Sesshomaru ate the sweet candy and washed it down with tea. When he drank the tea, someone he thought he'd never see made him choke a little.

Hailey and Kikyo came over to Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru, it's nice to see you." Kikyo said.

"Same to you..." Sesshomaru said.

"Hailey, mother needs you!" Hilary yelled.

"You two enjoy the party; I'll see you two later." Hailey said as she headed over to Hillary.

Kikyo sat next to Sesshomaru.

"I hear that you are traveling with Inuyasha." Kikyo said.

"Yes, that's true..." Sesshomaru said.

"I hear that you and Rin were captured by Naraku." Kikyo said.

"Where did you hear that?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I still slay Naraku's demons, they were talking about it." Kikyo said. "I tried finding him to find you two, but each time I got close to finding him, he'd move."

"Why didn't you get Inuyasha to help you?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Inuyasha might still be mad at me for leaving when the jewel gave me life." Kikyo said.

"I don't think he's mad." Sesshomaru said.

"Come on, let's go find him." Kikyo said as she stood up.

Sesshomaru stood up and they were both off.

To be continued...

Kikyo is still alive.
