Shippo woke up and saw Kagome and Inuyasha talking. He crawled out from under the covers and ran to Kagome and said "morning". Kagome smiled and said "morning do want some breakfast"? Shippo looked back and forth and said "no thanks I just want to play with Rin". He voice started to sound disappointed when he didn't see her around. In a calm voice Kagome said "Rin and Sesshomaru went with Sango this morning, we needed supplies so they left with Kilala early this morning to a nearby village. Well meet up with them there for lunch".
"What why didn't I get to go" said Shippo in a sad voice, Kagome picked him up and said "I'm sorry you were asleep so I thought you would want to stay with us".
Sango looked at both Rin and Sesshomaru as they came running back to her saying "ok we got the food know what"? She pulled out the list and said "well with your help were all done we have all our supplies". The two looked up at her and said "can we do something fun then". Sango nodded and said "well we don't need to meet the others at the inn till noon so I guess so". She looked at Rin and noticed how worn her dress was and said "Rin don't you have other clothes". Rin looked down at her kimono (I think that's what you call what she wears) before she said "no lord Sesshomaru always would get me new clothes" Sango smiled and said "ok then we will just have to go shopping".
Shippo was franticly running around the camp trying to get everybody moving when Inuyasha sat down and said "you know I think we should take a break today". Shippo jumped and said "you never want to stop lets go". Inuyasha laid on his back and said "maybe taking a week off wouldn't be so bad". Shippo started to yell when Kagome shouted "come on Inuyasha stop torturing Shippo and let's go". Inuyasha stood up and let out a feh and they started to move. Kagome let out a laugh as Shippo ran ahead and yelled for them to catch up.
Inuyasha let out a another feh and said "what's his hurry". Miroku grinned and said "I guess he doesn't want Sesshomaru to steel his girl". Shippo let out another shout of "come on" in a tired voice. Kagome picked up the panting Shippo and said "relax at the rate your going you'll be asleep by the time we get there". Shippo sat on her shoulder and said "yeah but I really want to see her". "So you like her" said Kagome. Shippo nodded and said "yeah".
Shippo fell asleep in Kagomes arm's and Miroku laughed as he said "See its just like you two, Sesshomaru hides his feeling and Shippo shows them, its just like Inuyasha and Koga". Kagome thought about how there were the similarity's when Inuyasha said "would you shut up that damn wolf is the last person I want to hear about".
At the village Sango, Rin and Sesshomaru had been at the tailor for an hour and Sesshomaru was getting board, when Sango said they could do something fun this wasn't what he was expecting. Sango looked over at Sesshomaru as he let out a sigh; her attention was drawn away as Rin came out of a dressing room in a pink kimono and started saying "do you like it". Sango smiled and said "that looks great well just pay for it and go". At hearing the word "go" Sesshomaru got a burst of energy and said "hooray". As they left Sango looked at Sesshomaru and said "ok now what would you like to do". Sesshomaru jumped up and said "toy store".
Inuyasha was starting to get annoyed; Kagome had joined Miroku in comparing the two love triangles. "Wait Shippo's older then Sesshomaru, that would mean that he's more like Koga" said Kagome. "Yes true and Inuyasha's younger then Koga but that's because he was stuck to the tree. So since Sesshomaru is just younger do to the spell I think he is more like Inuyasha." "Would you two just shut up" said Inuyasha loud enough to wake up Shippo.
Sango sat down at the table and looked across at Rin in her new kimono and Sesshomaru who had his new teddy bear in his arms and smiled. Sesshomaru's stomach growled and said "Sango can we order food pleas". Sango looked at the time and said "Kagome and the others were supposed to meet us here awhile ago so I guess we can order".
Kagome looked at her watch it was already 1:00 they had to help a nearby village and were at the inn an hour late. They had just entered the inn when Kagome heard a shout and Sesshomaru jumped up into her arms. Kagome smiled and said "so were did you get this little guy" as she gestured to his new bear. "Sango got him for me" said Sesshomaru as he gave the bear a hug.
Sango and Rin came up to them and said "hi". Shippo looked at Rin in her pink kimono and said "you umm look pretty", Rin smiled and said "wow thank you Shippo" Shippo turned red as she then hugged him. Sesshomaru looked at Rin and started to get jealous. They left the inn Rin and Shippo ran ahead and started to play Sesshomaru started to go join them when Kagome picked him back up and said "no Sesshomaru you need to take your nap".
He started to complain but Kagome gave him that parental look (we all know the one) and said "yesterday you slept all day when you skipped your nap". Sesshomaru crossed his arms and turned away as if trying not to agree or disagree at the same time. Kagome smiled and said "oh come on" as she kissed him on his cheek.
They got back on the path and started the journey to Sesshomaru's castle. Shippo and Rin made there way to the front as they chased each other around jumping in puddles. Meanwhile Inuyasha was about to go insane as Sango joined Kagome and Miroku in comparing him and Sesshomaru.
They were making good time; Sesshomaru woke up and started to play with Rin and Shippo. Kagome and Sango were talking when they heard a sneeze. Kagome looked for the organ and found that it had come from Rin who had red nose and was looking drowsy. Kagome bent down and said "are you ok". Through a sneeze Rin managed to say "I'm fine I just feel a little drowsy. Kagome looked at Rin and said "I think you have a cold". Rin looked at Kagome and said "what's a cold"? Kagome laughed and said "that's what you call it when you get sick".
Rin let another sneeze and Kagome picked her up and said I think we should make camp here. Inuyasha let out a feh and said "fine". They mad there camp and all sat around a fire. Inuyasha stood up and said "come on Sesshomaru where going hunting", Miroku slid next to Sango and said "this just leaves me with you beautiful" before he could finish he was being dragged off by Inuyasha. Sango turned too Rin who looked as if she was getting worse by the minute, and said "are you ok". Rin let out another sneeze and said "I'm ok" Kagome made them some instant hot chocolate and handed them each a cup.
She then pulled out a green book out of her bag and said "I forgot my mom made me this". Shippo jumped up onto her shoulder saying "what is it"? Kagome sat back down and opened the book saying "it's a photo album". Shippo moved from her shoulder to her lap and said "so what's a photo album"? Kagome laughed and pointed to one of the photo's as she said "see there pictures of when you and Sesshomaru came too my time. Sango let out a sigh, as she peered at a picture of Sesshomaru and Shippo both gnawing on chocolate bunnies.
On Kagomes other side Rin let out a giggle as she spotted a photo of Sesshomaru cuddling one of his teddy bears. Rin started to smile and said "I bet Sesshomaru would get real grumpy if he ever saw this". Kagome looked at Rin confused and said "why would he get mad" before she realized that Rin was talking about the adult Sesshomaru. Inuyasha came back with Sesshomaru and Miroku. Sango looked up and saw that they where empty handed and said "I see you didn't catch anything".
Inuyasha let out a feh and said "these woods are just bare that's all" before he sat down by the fire. Sesshomaru sat next to Rin who upon seeing him started to frown and began to cry. Sesshomaru started looking back and forth trying to find out what he had done to make her so sad. Kagome did her best to try and soothe Rin. Sesshomaru ran to Sango asking what he had done. Sango looked down at him not sure what to say before deciding on "she just misses her father that's all". Sesshomaru thought about this for a moment before running to Kagome's bag and started digging through it.
Sesshomaru had found all the teddy bears he had except for the one he was looking for. After letting out a short shout of success at finding his goal, he ran to Kagome and the crying Rin and handed her the bear. Sesshomaru looked at Rin and said "when I missed my mom and dad this bear helped me so maybe it can help you". Rin started to cheer up and said "thanks".
