Chapter 4:

Sesshomaru took Sunny back to where Inuyasha and his gang had made camp. It was late, and Sunny was hoping that everyone had fallen asleep.

"Can I see you tomorrow?" Sunny asked.

"Yes, you can." Sesshomaru replied.

"OK." Sunny said, then she leaned towards Sesshomaru and gave him a kiss on the cheek before she went back to camp.

-

Sesshomaru walked back to where he had left Jaken and Rin that day.

Did Sunny just kiss me? Sesshomaru asked himself as he touched his cheek.

-

Sunny made it the rest of the way to camp OK. But when she got there, there was Inuyasha, sitting wide-awake in a tree.

"Don't you ever sleep?" Sunny asked.

"Not when my best friend is out with my brother. Who is an asshole, by the way." Inuyasha replied.

Suddenly, the sound of thunder was heard, and lightning could be seen in the night sky. And Sunny hit Inuyasha with a lightning bolt, again.

"Don't ever insult Sesshomaru! Got-it!?" Sunny yelled.

"Fine! I won't insult your boyfriend!" Inuyasha replied.

Sunny struck him again. "He's not my boyfriend!"

"Fine!" Inuyasha yelled. "Now would you stop hitting me with those lightning bolts!"

A/N- I guess lightning can strike one spot more than once. ;)

The next morning came, and the group continued their journey. Then Sunny ran up to catch up to Inuyasha, who was in the front of the group.

"Hey, Inuyasha?" Sunny asked.

"What do you want now?" Inuyasha asked.

"I wanted to say that I'm sorry for what I did last night. I'm sorry for striking you with lightning twice." Sunny replied.

"Well, you shouldn't be going out with Sesshomaru. He's not a good guy." Inuyasha said.

"He doesn't seem that bad, Inuyasha." Sunny replied. "And you don't have to worry about me running off and staying with him. I'll stay with you until I am ready to go, if that's OK with you."

"Why would I want you to leave? You should stay with me. You can't go wondering off yourself. It dangerous out there." Inuyasha explained.

"Well, I survived a week out there alone." Sunny replied.

"That doesn't matter. It's still dangerous!" Inuyasha yelled, forgetting that his friends were still behind him.

"Well, you're not my father!" Sunny yelled back.

"Well, it seems like I should be. I've been watching you and your sisters since your parents were killed! And your dad put all of you in my care until you were old enough to handle yourselves!"

"And I am old enough to handle myself now!" Sunny snapped back.

"It doesn't seem that way to me!" Inuyasha yelled.

Suddenly, the sky grew dark, and rain started to pour. Sunny was crying.

"Sunny." Inuyasha said softly. "Please don't cry. I didn't mean it. I just care about you, and worry about you the most." Inuyasha said as he pulled Sunny over to a boulder and sat on it with here, trying to get her to stop crying.

"You worry about me the most 'cause I'm the runt, don't you?" Sunny almost whispered.

"No. It's 'cause I always like you the most out of you and your sisters." Inuyasha replied. And because you are the runt. Inuyasha thought, but didn't say it for fear of Sunny getting sadder. "Now stop crying. I know you're tougher than this."

Sunny just nodded, wiped away the last of her tears, and hugged Inuyasha. "Thank you." She almost whispered.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Night came, and the gang made camp. Sunny was waiting for Inuyasha to fall asleep so she could sneak off to meet Sesshomaru.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours past, and Sunny couldn't wait any longer. So she got up and started to walk off.

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked.

"I'm going to the bathroom! Can't I go anywhere on my own?!" Sunny yelled.

"Whatever. But hurry back!" Inuyasha yelled.

"I'll take my very own danm time! Thank you very much!" Sunny replied in a smart-ass tone. But she was really going to see Sesshomaru. Would she get away with it? or would Inuyasha catch her?
