Chapter 6

000000000000

Sesshomaru was the one to wake up first the next morning. Inuyasha was holding him in his arms, but Sesshomaru broke out of the hold and ran out of the room. Inuyasha jolted awake and saw Sesshomaru leaving the room and ran after him.

Kikyo was in the backyard with Kagome and Sango when they all saw Sesshomaru running out of the house and deep into the backyard, Inuyasha came out a few seconds later.

Sesshomaru lost all of the food he ate the night before as Inuyasha rubbed his back. When he was done puking, Sesshomaru leaned onto Inuyasha; Inuyasha sat down on the ground and pulled Sesshomaru onto his lap.

Carla came out of the house with a cup of water.

"Here you go Sesshomaru." Carla said as she gave the cup to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru gratefully accepted the water and gulped it down.

"What happened?" Kagome asked.

"I just saw him run out of the room." Inuyasha said.

"I feel awful..." Sesshomaru said.

"Let's get you into the house." Sango said.

Inuyasha lifted Sesshomaru into his arms and everyone went into the house.

Rin was in the backyard with Shippo and Sesshomaru decided to go out for some fresh air.

He was feeling a little better than what he felt in earlier. His mind was still spinning around with what he had been sensing lately. He didn't tell anyone, but he could feel something evil lurking around. He couldn't tell if it was Naraku or not, but he was still frightened.

"Sesshomaru, are you okay?" A voice asked.

Sesshomaru turned around and saw Jackson.

"Yes, I'm fine." Sesshomaru said.

"Mother is calling you." Jackson said.

Sesshomaru and Jackson headed back to the house. Jackson told Sesshomaru that Carla was in her room.

Sesshomaru went into her room and saw that she was making something with her moon jewels.

"You wanted me?" Sesshomaru asked as he entered.

"Oh yes, I did." Carla said. "I want to give you something, so come sit beside me."

Sesshomaru went up to her and took a seat on her bed. He saw that Carla was making a necklace with the jewels she caught.

"I want to give you this." Carla said as she put the necklace onto Sesshomaru's neck.

Sesshomaru looked at the necklace. The jewels had holes in them so they could be held together with string and the middle jewel was shaped into a crescent moon.

"It's beautiful..." Sesshomaru said as he touched it. "Thank you..."

"Oh don't thank me..." Carla said. "It's just a little gift."

Sesshomaru hugged Carla.

"You know, ever since I and the others came here, you've been like a mother to all of us." Sesshomaru said.

"I'm like this to all of the guests." Carla said. "But you and the others are a little different from the rest; you and the others are apart of this family forever."

000000000000

That night a huge dinner was made, Carla wanted tonight to be special since the next morning a part of the family would be leaving.

"Eat up everyone; you'll need all of the strength you need for tomorrow." Carla said.

Everyone talked while they ate. Carla knew where they were going and made sure that everyone had everything they needed. (You'll find out where they are going soon, why you don't just guess for now.)

000000000000

Everyone stayed up a little later that usual, then said their good nights and headed for bed.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were laying in each others arms for awhile before any of them spoke.

"Inuyasha, what are we going to do if Naraku finds us?" Sesshomaru asked.

Inuyasha kissed Sesshomaru's cheek.

"We'll be ready, don't worry." Inuyasha said.

"I love you too much..." Sesshomaru said. "If anything happens to you, I won't know what I'll do."

"Bad things might happen, but I'll always be there for you, no matter what." Inuyasha said. "I promise."

Sesshomaru snuggled closer to Inuyasha and the both of them drifted to sleep.

Morning came too fast for everyone and they had to get ready. They ate breakfast together and decided to leave at noon.

Right now, Sesshomaru, Rin, and Kikyo were in the backyard. Kikyo took them to the garden in the backyard. She decided to do something with Sesshomaru's and Rin's hair; she decided to braid white roses into both of their hair.

Right after Kikyo was done with Rin's hair, she ran into the house to show off her new do.

"Why are you doing this?" Sesshomaru asked.

"So you could look pretty for your mate." Kikyo said.

Sesshomaru gasped.

"How do you know?" Sesshomaru asked.

"I, Kagome, Sango, and Carla were watching you and Inuyasha when he asked you." Kikyo said. "It's about time he asked."

Sesshomaru smiled.

"Tell me the real reason you are doing this." Sesshomaru said.

"For Rin, I did it so she could cheer up a little more." Kikyo said. "For you, it's a test."

Sesshomaru looked at Kikyo and saw her sprinkle some liquid on one single rose before she braided it into his hair.

Noon had finally come and the family was saying bye to their new members.

"Now all of you please be careful." Carla said. "It's a long journey to your new destination and we gave you as many things as you can carry."

"We will Carla..." Kikyo said. "You supplied us with more than we need."

Everyone hugged each other.

Just then, Kilala came to them.

"Kilala!" Sango said as she ran to her pet. "How are you?"

When the group arrived to town, Kilala was sent to a little place where she could get the right kind of rest she deserved. Right now Kilala seemed rested up and ready for anything.

"Well, it looks like they did a good job with her." Hailey said.

"They sure did..." Sango said.

Kilala changed to her beast form.

"Here's a map to help you to your destination." Carla said as she handed it to Kikyo. "Please use it."

"Don't worry, we will." Kagome said.

"We have to go now." Inuyasha said.

He helped Sesshomaru and Rin onto Kilala's back and they were all off.

All of them waved goodbye to their new family as they left; as they exited the village, the whole village waved goodbye.

"Bye!" Rin yelled.

000000000000

While everyone walked, Kikyo took a good look at the map and saw that it would take somewhere around four days to reach to reach their new destination.

"Are you sure that's right?" Sesshomaru asked when Kikyo told them.

"Positive..." Kikyo said.

Sesshomaru huffed a sigh and leaned onto Inuyasha, who was also riding on Kilala now.

"Tired?" Inuyasha asked.

Sesshomaru nodded as he looked at Rin, who had been asleep for about an hour so far.

"Then go to sleep, don't worry, everything will be fine." Inuyasha said.

Sesshomaru closed his eyes and went to sleep.

000000000000

The next time Sesshomaru woke up, he found that he was in a tent. He sat up and opened up the tent to look outside, he saw that they others set up somewhere in the forest. He got out of the tent and looked around, but saw no one.

"Sesshomaru, good to see that you are awake." Kagome said as she came up to him.

"Where were you?" Sesshomaru asked as he looked around. "And where is everyone else?"

"We all went fishing at a near by lake, I was ahead of everyone." Kagome said.

Just then, Rin came running.

"I win!" She yelled.

Shippo came out next, then Kilala. A moment later everyone else came.

Inuyasha put down the fish he caught next to the fire and walked over to Sesshomaru.

"Good to see that you finally woke up." Inuyasha said, then he kissed Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru blushed as Inuyasha kissed him.

"Glad to see that you are happy." Sesshomaru said after the kiss.

000000000000

It was now nightfall and everyone was eating fish. They were all quiet for awhile, until some rustling in some of the bushes startled everyone.

"What was that?" Rin asked.

"Sesshomaru, take Rin and Shippo and go into a tent." Inuyasha said as he stood up.

"Don't do anything." Sesshomaru said. "I know what's in the bushes."

"You do?" Everyone asked.

"Shino?" Sesshomaru called.

A huge white tiger came out of the bushes; Sesshomaru walked up to it. When he was close enough, he reached out and petted it, the tiger licked his hand.

"I know this tiger." Sesshomaru said.

Rin ran up to him.

"May I pet it?" She asked.

Sesshomaru nodded.

"Pet it softly." Sesshomaru said.

As Sesshomaru and Rin petted to huge animal, everyone wondered how Sesshomaru knew that there was a tiger in the bushes.

To be continued...
