There are two female dog demons heading toward the western lands. They have been chased out of their home in the southern lands. The first female dog demon is Kaori. She is a full blooded demon has red gold hair, dark brown eyes, and is 5'8". Her best friend is Mina she is 5'6" has silver hair, light blue eyes, and is half demon. Kaori and Mina are tried and weak. Because they had to fight their way out of the southern lands. Kaori is helping Mina because she is sick and injured. Both of them are injured. Kaori is the same age as Sesshomaru. And Mina is the same age as Inuyasha. Once in the western lands Kaori said "We should be safe in the western lands." Mina nodded, coughed and said "Let's find shelter." Kaori found a cave went in. She made sure there weren't any demons in the cave.

Then she laid Mina down and left to find some fire wood. While finding fire wood Kaori killed a deer. An half an hour later Kaori returned with fire wood and the deer. After starting a fire she took the hide off the deer and made it into a blanket. Then she covered Mina with the blanket. Kaori then cut some meat off the deer and cooked it. She looked over at Mina and shook her head. Kaori said to herself "I have to try to keep Mina alive until we find someone to help up. But we've never been in the western lands." After the meat was done cooking she woke Mina. Mina woke sat up and ate some meat. Then she laid down and coughed. Kaori felt Mina's forehead and it's warm.

She stood up and went outside. The young female looked around for some herbs. She found the herbs she was looking for. Then she went back to the cave. Kaori knelt down and said "Eat these herbs Mina. They'll help with your fever and cough." Mina ate the herbs then closed her eyes. Kaori sat down and put her hands together. She said "Oh great Buddha please my best friend and I. Mina is sick and injured. And we need help badly." After prying Kaori laid down and went to sleep. In the morning Kaori work when the sin shined into the cave.

Kaori stared a fire and cooked some more deer meat. After cooking the meat Kaori woke Mina. Mina sat up and ate. Kaori and Mina left the cave after eating. Mina is pale and weak. Kaori looked over at Mina and said "Don't worry Mina we'll find someone to help us." All Mina did was nod and cough. Carrying Mina on her back Kaori made her way toward the heart of the western lands. Suddenly she picked up the scent of two male dog demons. Kaori sighed and said "Finally If I follow these scents. I'll find some help." Just then Kaori heard a demon coming. So she jumped into an old tree. Mina is so sick that she is unconscious on Kaori's back. Kaori watched as the demon passed by. But the demon looked up the tree and saw Kaori and Mina.

The demon smerked when he saw that the tree is near a fast moving river. So the demon knocked down the tree. Kaori fell into the river and tried to swim. But the current is to strong. Kaori saw a rock and grabbed it. She is trying to hold onto the rock. And make sure that Mina stays on her back. Kaori decided to call for help and did. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are heading to the castle. But the heard the calls for help. So they ran off in the direction of the calls. At the river Mina has slipped off of Kaori's back. Kaori yelled "Mina wake up!" Despite her yell Mina didn't wake. Just then the two brothers arrived at the river. Inuyasha took off to get the girl that's being swept away. And Sesshomaru dived into the river to get the girl at the rock. He swam over and said "Miss grab my hand."

Kaori grabbed Sesshomaru's hand. using the rock Sesshomaru jumped back to the river bank. Kaori looked at her rescuer and said "Thankyou but my friend was swept away." Sesshomaru nodded and said "Don't worry my brother went to get her." Just then Inuyasha appeared with Mina in his arms. Kaori ran over to Inuyasha and checked on Mina. The she looked at the brothers and said "Can you please help us? My friend is sick and injured." Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha then said "Ok we'll help you. Now follow us." Kaori followed the two demons. She can smell their scents and realized it was their scents she was following. Just then she saw a castle and her eyes went wide. She followed the brothers into the castle. The she followed them into a room. Inuyasha laid Mina in a bed and summond a servant.

The servant came in and said "Yes Lord Inuyasha." Inuyasha said "These two ladies are injured. And one is sick. So please take care of them." Sesshomaru looked at Kaori and asked "Do you want your own room? Or share this room with your friend?" Kaori sat down and said "I'll share the room with my friend." Sesshomaru nodded and said "Oh servant make sure both girls get dry kimonos." With that said Inuyasha and Sesshomaru left the room. The servant gave Kaori a blue kimono with white cranes on it. And dressed Mina in a purple kimono with white lillies on it. Then the servant gave Mina some medicine.

The servant already took care of Mina's and Kaori's wounds. Then the servant asked "What are your names?" Kaori yawned and said "My name is Kaori and that's my best friend Mina." The servant nodded and said "You go ahead and go to sleep." Before she went to sleep Kaori asked "Who are the two men that recued us?" As the servant left the room she said "You'll get to know their names soon enough." After the servant left the room. Kaori laid down and went to sleep. Her bed is next to Mina's bed. The servant went into the study where Sesshomaru is reading, Inuyasha is polishing Tetsusaiga, and Kilala is playing with a ball of yawrn. The servant walked up to Inuyasha and said "I took care of the girls just like you ordered." Sesshomaru looked up and asked "How are they doing? And did you get their names?"

The servant nodded and said "The one with red gold hair is Kaori and the one with silver hair is Mina. Kaori is tried and has minor wounds. Mina is sick, has some minor wounds, and I'm not sure if she'll live." Sesshomaru looked at the servant and said "You and the other servants incharge of medicine. Make sure Mina makes it. Kaori seems to be very attched to her." The servant bowed her head and said "Yes Lord Sesshomaru." Inuyasha put Tetsusaiga in it's sheath and asked "Why so concerned about a sick girl Sesshomaru?" Sesshomaru sighed and said "Kaori did seem to be very concerned about her friend. Pluse I can stand the thought of another woman or girl dying."

Kilala jumped onto Sesshomaru's desk and mewoed. Sesshomaru petted Kilala and said "You're such a good girl Kilala." Inuyasha said to himself "Ever since Rin died Sesshomaru hasn't been able to see another woman or girl die." Just then Sesshomaru said "The names Kaori and Mina sound familiar." Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru and asked "Are you sure?" Sesshomaru nodded and said "I think so." He sat there and trid to think.

Kilala jumped onto Sesshomaru's lap and laid down. Sesshomaru petted Kilala and said "Oh I don't remember. But those named do sound familiar." Inuyasha nodded and said "It's getting late. We should wait until Mina is better. Then ask then where they came from." Sessohmaru stood and gave Kilala to Inuyasha. Then he said "You're right let's go to bed." Inuyasha and Kilala went into Inuyasha's room. And Sesshomaru went to his.
