Well, I'm awfully tired. I know my chapters are short and boring, but I'll try to make them better. I would like more reviews though!!
Chapter 3 : A Healing Touch
"Well, if you promise to treat me like a guest and not your captive, I can help her out." Kagome says. Sesshoumaru thinks a bit then nods.
"Very well, wench. I want her to be better in a few days, for I have to leave the castle and she must come with me." Sesshoumaru says. Kagome carefully picks Rin up then takes her to her room.
Rin is gently placed on her bed then Kagome sighs. Shippo hops on Kagome's shoulder then peers over to look at Rin. Rin continues to cough then Kagome pulls out a washcloth.
"Shippo, can you go get this warm for me?" Kagome asks then Shippo nods.
"Of course Kagome!" Shippo says then runs out to figure out where to do that.
"Who cough are you?" Rin asks, her little voice cracking.
"I am Kagome... Sesshoumaru told me to take care of you to get rid of your cough..." Kagome says then Rin smiles.
"Am I going to get better?" Rin asks then Kagome smiles.
"Yes, I promise. It's just a flu and some rest should do it...." Kagome says. Shippo walks in with a warm cloth then Kagome gently places it on Rin's head. Rin smiles then closes her eyes. Witihin seconds, Rin was asleep.
"Kagome?" Shippo asks as he jumps onto the bed.
"Yes, Shippo?" Kagome asks as she sits in a chair.
"Do you think Inuyasha will come? I mean, he likes the Tetsusuaiga a lot.... I'm not sure if he'd trade it..." Shippo says.
"He'll come, I know he will..." Kagome says then Shippo nods. Shippo fell asleep next to Rin then Kagome soon dozed off.

"What is taking you two SO long?!" Inuyasha bothered. Sango and Miroku sat down tiredly.
"Inuyasha, you're going too fast for us and we were already exhausted..." Sango says.
"Feh. You are weak." Inuyasha snorts then Miroku sighs.
"Slow down, you outran Inuyasha long ago!" Miroku says. Inuyasha only continues.
"Inuyasha, how do you know that Sesshoumaru hasn't already killed her?" Sango asks. Inuyasha freezes.
"Sango, shut up. I know he didn't kill her. He's using her as bait so he can get the Tetsusuaiga..." Inuyasha says then starts running again.
"Should we follow him, Sango?" Miroku asks.
"Yes, he doesn't know what he's doing..." Sango says then the two stand up and trudge along their way.
"Lazy..." Inuyasha mutters then sighs. "I really hope Kagome isn't dead. I doubt that Sesshoumaru would kill her before he got the Tetsusuaiga..." Inuyasha finishes. He continues hopping along then stops when he nears a castle. He sniffs then growls.
"What is it, Inuyasha?" Miroku asks. He leans on his staff as Sango sits on a rock. Kilala hops off of Sango's head then onto Miroku's shoulder.
"This... This is the castle for the Lord of the Eastern lands!" Inuyasha says. Everyone's eyes get wide then Sango and Miroky sigh.
"Let's rest a bit before we have to travel again!!" Sango says then Inuyasha looks at her. His golden orbs look at her for a moment before figuring out what to say.
"Okay.... Just not too long because Kagome's life depends on us..." Inuyasha says then goes over to the slayer and the monk. He leads Sango to a lake so she can take a bath then takes Miroku to get food.

Kagome awoke the next day with a pair of big, chocolate brown eyes staring at her. She jumps back then Rin giggles.
"Morning!" Rin says cheerfully. Shippo jumps around on the bed then Kagome smiles.
"How late have you two been awake?" Kagome asks then the two giggle again.
"We've been awake since Lord Sesshoumaru woke up... A few hours before sinrsie!" Rin says.
"Well, Rin, do you feel any better?" Kagome asks. Rin nods so fast, her head looked like it'd fall off. Shippo started laughing then stopped when he heard a knock at the door.
"Yeah?" Kagome asks. Sesshoumaru walks in then glares at her, his expressionless face giving her the chills.
"You have to proper manners." Sesshoumaru says then gets close to the trio.
"Sorry, Sesshoumaru..." Kagome says sheepishly.
"LORD Sesshoumaru to you, wench!" Sesshoumaru corrects.Kagome nods, fear filling her brown eyes. Sesshoumaru adverts his gaze to Rin.
"How are you feeling Rin?" He asks then Rin giggles.
"Much better Lord Sesshoumaru!" She says then turns to Shippo.
"When to Shippo and Kagome have to leave? I like them..." Rin says. Sesshoumaru thinks a bit. 'I don't know if I even planned on keeping the wench and fox around... But, since they're like family, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to offer them to stay as long as they'd like...' Sesshoumaru thinks. The lord of the ice had a soft spot for the little girl. He naturally despised humans but treasured the girl for some reason.
"They are welcome to stay as long as they want. But they may not leave before Inuyasha comes." Sesshoumaru says, staring cruelly at Kagome. Shippo and rin start cheering and laughing then Kagome smiles in un-amuzement.
"Kagome. I would like to tell you something..." Sesshoumaru says then leads her out into the hall. Kagome follows then closes the door behind her. Sesshoumaru picks her up by the throat then growls.
"You will stay here long enough for Inuyasha to return. What I decide to do with you then depends on what I think of you. I will, most likely, kill you. Ifyou can manage it, I'll let you live..." Sesshoumaru says then Kagome nods slowly.
"Yes, Lord Sesshoumaru..." She says between heavy breaths. He drops her then goes back in.
"Rin, why don't you, Shippo, and Kagome all go play in the garden." Sesshoumaru says. Both the children cheer then they go outside. Sesshuomaru goes in his library to do work.

"How are you feeling Miroku?" Sango asks.
"I'm okay... This stomach wound is beginning to hurt..." Miroku says then Sango sighs. She had been tending to miroku's old wound for a while now and it was getting exhausting. But, something was missing. A hand troked Sango's butt then she growled and hit Miroku.
"I must say, Sango, you have tight curves..." Miroku says then Sango gasps. She hits him again then he sighs.
"Well, I suppose you don't want to bear my children yet...." Miroku says then Sango glares at him.
"Of course I don't when you're touching me!" Sango says then Miroku smiles sheepishly.
"Would you two shut up?" Inuyasha asks in irritation. The two look at him unison.
"What?" The two ask, again in unison. The both look at each other, not believing that they said the same thing at the same time.
"I'm trying to sleep." Inuyasha says then sits down and falls asleep with one hand on the Tetsusuaiga's hilt.
So, what do you think? I got some good reviews for the first two and I'm hoping the same for this one... I do appreciate the reviews too!
TotalAnimeFreak : Thank you for telling me. I never realize how short the story is until it's annoyingly short...
Meilin H. : Thank you for the complement. I read your story and submitted my review. When I got the review, this is what I was working on. Hope you like it!
Kagome3000 : Thank you for the tip and I am honored that I was added to your top author list. Arigato.
Seek : They're in the feudal times. Therefore, they don't even know what the flu is. To them, she might be about to drop dead! They aren't very educated... Most of 'em....
