Poll Time: POLL TIME!

(La hits a huge gong thingy) Ug…here we go again…

Okay in this poll, who shall I kill? Different characters have different endings, so basically you choose the endings! And death of characters…heh…LA! Tell them who they're voting for!

La: Yeah yeah. These three characters will determine the ending of the story if you vote for them. Remember, you have to vote for two characters. May the best characters win! Heh…or maybe not…cause if they do they're dead…hmm. Here they are;

Shel: Hey, I'll give you guys' hints at what will happen if these guys die……

Kagome : 12 vote(s) (might be a fluffy, sad, miserable ending in which I have plans for another character……) Looks bad for Kag!

Yumi : 6 vote(s) (Angry ending, might be fluff not sure yet)

Sesshomaru : 7 vote(s) (angry ending, Yumi and Rin will probably die also…oops)

Shel: Im bored now.

La: Hey where's ur disclaimer?

Shel: Um, I think they get it by now, right?

InuYasha: (to himself) just say yes, just say yes, just say yes, just say—

Everyone reading this fic: WE get it…

InuYasha: YES! HA! Still free…

Shel: …happy hotel…niiiiice…ok well here's the long awaited chapter!

Shippo was still talking to Kagome but she hadn't heard a word he had said. She was too wrapped up in her own thoughts. He said he was mad at her. But then he came all this way to rescue her and said he was worried sick about her. She had killed her. And he had been furious. But now—it's like it never happened. There was question on her mind that she wanted to ask him; Are you mad at me, do you forgive me, or just still confused?

Ok, so those were really three questions in one but she didn't worry about that. "Shippo…" Kagome finally said after being no longer capable to take his yammering in her ear. "Yeah Kagome?"

"Can you stop talking for just a moment?" She said with the slightest bit of scariness in her voice. Shippo became a little frightened but backed off and jumped off her shoulder to walk beside her. Kagome kept her distance behind InuYasha as he walked in silence in front of her and Shippo. The moment didn't last four seconds before Shippo spoke again. "You okay InuYasha? You seem sort of distracted."

InuYasha didn't answer him; didn't even turn his head to glare at him. He looked straight ahead and kept walking. Kagome feeling she could take it no more sprinted past Shippo and halted in front of InuYasha forcing him to stop as well. "What is it?" He asked annoyed.

Kagome felt very flustered and dizzy and she wasn't going to put up with his crap. (sorry but my mom reads my chapters before I post them so I'm limited on cursing). "You have three things you should be worried about InuYasha!"

InuYasha took a step back a bit scared at her anger. "Huh?" Kagome continued. "Naraku's stupid threat, Yumi out there on her own, and me!"

"You! Why you?"

Kagome narrowed her eyes and fury at him. "Because if you're still upset about Kikyou, you really are gonna have to be worried about me." Kagome mentally slapped herself realizing how ridiculous that sounded. InuYasha shook his head and gently pushed her aside to walk past her. Shippo gasped. Kagome stood there, her hands forming into fists. "InuYasha…" She said in a very dark voice.

InuYasha froze realizing what he had done. Ah, damn it! What the hell did I do! Shippo plopped on the ground and counted. "Three, two, one…"

"SIT!"

Yumi jerked up from her sleep. She was pretty uncomfortable, with the girl her age sleeping next to her, InuYasha's older full demon half brother, that creepy two headed dragon, and that weird toad thing, how can you not blame her? (Me: ……don't answer that)

Yumi sighed and uncovered her self from the small cloth keeping Rin and her warm. It was a small place to rest close to the river. In the middle of the night and you had been walking for almost half a day, it was better than nothing, if not anything. She got up, careful not to wake the inu demon and the dragon and quickly found her way to the stream.

It was warm out with a gentle breeze swaying the long grass and flowers back and forth. It rippled the gentle flowing water and gave the fireflies a challenge as they fluttered over the daisies. The small yellow haired girl sat down hugging her knees to her chest next to the rivers edge.

"What did I get myself into?" she asked herself out loud actually expecting answer. "The demon Naraku brought me from some other time besides this. Somewhere my parents are really worried about me." As she said the word 'parents' an image of a very sad and worried Kagome floated into her mind. Yumi shrugged off the image. "She looked like me I guess. I mean I looked like her. I mean—I dunno what I mean."

Before even realizing it, the wind had shifted and an unfamiliar scent drifted her way. "What is that..?" She whipped around just in time to see a rat demon lunge at her. She covered her ears to shield out her own scream. "Kago—!"

In an instant, a white figure slashed the demon in two with his sword and landed gracefully on his feet. Yumi brought her hands to her side as she stood up and looked the demon lord Sesshomaru in the eye. "—me. Sesshomaru? You saved me?" She could hardly believe it. He sheathed the sword without answer. Yumi blinked a few times before running over to him and titled her head back so she could look him in the eye.

"Did you want to save me?" She asked in a childish voice, her regular voice. He returned her look with his regular stern one but again did not answer her question. Yumi bit her bottom lip and on tiptoes barely wrapped her small arms around his waste and then backed off to see if we say anything this time. She stood there not smiling, not frowning, looking straight up at him.

Sesshomaru turned around and headed back to their spot. "Let's go." He said coldly. Yumi waited a few seconds before taking off after him soon walking right next to him. "You know what? You're different from your brother." Yumi said casually. Sesshomaru exhaled sharply wishing she hadn't brought him up. "How's that?" He answered through gritted teeth.

Yumi shrugged but answered him just as causally. "Well for one when I was in trouble you saved me. He never did that. Even though he's supposed to be—well, he isn't so it doesn't matter." Sesshomaru didn't wait until she was done to answer her. "If you're going to talk all the time, talk to Rin or talk about something besides that half breed." Yumi nodded. "Fine but I can't promise much."

Sesshomaru actually thought that was a bit funny but he didn't show any emotion. "Can I stay with you then?" Yumi asked out of nowhere. Sesshomaru took of few seconds to reflect on the question before responding. "One condition; you stay out of my way when I'm in battle and you do not talk about any of the ones who socialize with that brother of mine to me. Rin would not be bothered by it."

Yumi giggled. "That's two conditions!" Sesshomaru peered down at her but she was looking straight ahead smiling to herself. Sesshomaru returned his glance at where he was going and would worry about her later.

Kur0: Yeah I know didn't get much done in this chapter. Because Tabby (friend) wants me to have Naraku come in soon he'll make an appearance in a chapter or two. HAPPY TABBY? Lol. Keep reviewing! (looks at you with big kitty eyes) Please?
