Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha… And I can't think of anything clever to say…

Author's note: Sorry If I do not respond to all of your comments, I'm quite sick at the moment.

Chapter 5: Interesting indeed.

"Jaken, you will take Ah-Un back to the castle, I'm taking this girl to the doctor there. I shall also take Rin, lest she be harmed staying with you." Sesshomaru said in a robotic, threatening voice. Jaken nodded. 'What does milord want with this pitiful human?' he thought to himself, 'Milord has always hated- Wait, ahh, he will use her to get the Tetsusaiga! Milord is brilliant.' Jaken looked up in admiration then gave a low bow. Not realizing that what 'milord' had in mind wasn't a tradeoff. Normally Sesshomaru wouldn't have run to the castle full-speed because he would be so easy to notice, but Jaken could tell he wanted to do this quickly if not safely.

"Yes, milord," Jaken said respectfully. Sesshomaru barely nodded and picked Rin up in his tail, while he swung Kagome over his shoulder. Without even a small goodbye, Sesshomaru ran off into the night.

"Humph, pitiful humans…" Jaken said. A short distance away, Kagome's eyebrow twitched angrily.

With Inuyasha and the gang…

"Inuyasha, calm down and be rational about this…" Miroku said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. The words fell on deaf dog ears, though, as Inuyasha continued to rant.

"Stupid Kagome, running off by herself!" the hanyou shouted, "Why would she do something like that! Without even giving us a warning!" Sango decided to interrupt.

"Well, did it occur to you that when she went out to find you, you might have hurt her feelings by 'talking' with Kikyo!" Sango shouted. That did the trick; Inuyasha went white as a sheet.

"She... that noise was her?" Inuyasha stuttered, "I thought it was an animal…"

"Pray tell us, Inuyasha," Sango said with a little more force than she meant, "Did you happen to say something that would make break Kagome's heart!"

"I…I…" Inuyasha gasped like a fish.

Miroku put his hand on Sango's shoulder. "Calm down," he said. Sango sighed, then slung her Hirakotsu over her shoulder and jumped on Kirara.

"Kagome's out there, we'd better find her before something else does."

With Sesshomaru…

Sesshomaru saw Kagome's eyebrow twitch as he heard Jaken make an offhand comment in the distance. 'How odd…' he thought, 'only a youkai like me could've heard that. Perhaps she is just having a nightmare.' Rin slid down further into his tail, momentarily distracting him.

"Rin is so very t-t-t-tired…" Rin said through a yawn.

"Go to sleep, Rin," Sesshomaru said gently. She gave him a sleepy smile before doing just that. Sesshomaru inwardly smiled, and then he looked up at the horizon. The sun was setting in a brilliant gold color, his castle visible in the distance. 'We should make it there by nightfall,' Sesshomaru thought. He sighed; he hoped both girls would stay asleep.

Skip to arriving at the castle…

Sesshomaru walked through the courtyard, ignoring the rude stares he was getting from his gardeners. The guards at the door tried to hide their gawking and scrambled to get the door open for Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru walked through the door into a gigantic marble floored room. A servant immediately rushed up to him and bowed. Sesshomaru wanted to roll his eyes, but instead he simply looked on with cold indifference. He held Kagome out to the servant.

"Bring this girl to the doctor now," Sesshomaru said, thoroughly expecting the wide-eyed look on the servant's face before a quick "Yes, milord." Sesshomaru nodded vaguely and watched the servant scurry off with Kagome in his arms. Sesshomaru growled faintly, which surprised him. He cleared his head and lightly put Rin in his arms, as he carried her up the stairs to her chambers.

Sesshomaru walked into her bedroom, which smelled of fresh wildflower. The pale pink walls were slightly dimmed in the darkness of night, and the room gave off a comfort and warmth that could only be attributed to the small girl living within its walls. Sesshomaru put Rin under the covers and silently walked to the door, glancing back for a moment at the tiny human child that made him want to smile. Suddenly, the servant he had sent to get Kagome to the doctor appeared before him, looking rather harried.

"Milord," the servant said, "The doctor needs you to come immediately."

End of Chapter…

Review PLEASE! Sorry this chapter was a bit short, but if I had added on the part I wanted to, it would've been too long!
