Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha. I mean what's the point? The series is over.

I'm guessing this is important but the episode these chapters have been set in has been episode 35. Right after the battle with Sesshomaru, when Inu learned the wind scar.

Sorry if the ages are wrong. These are the ages that I felt that was right for the characters. And a little warning for you people. This chapter might move a little slow for you.

Aya1412: thank you for the tips. Hopefully this chapter will be better. However, on lengthening the chapters, I'll do my best on that.

Triggerhappy Sniper: Yeah I would like more reviews too.

Chapter four

By the time Inuyasha, Kagome, and Rin got into the village, the sun was beginning to set and Rin had woken up again and was talking to Inuyasha and Kagome at the place Miroku had "exorcise".

"Mr. Inuyasha, how old are you?" Rin asked. Inuyasha hesitated a bit. Then answered "I think I'm 17, and it's just 'Inuyasha'. No mister."

"Kay, and how old are you Kagome?" Rin asked.

"I'm 15 years old" Kagome answered.

"And how old are you Rin?" Kagome asked. Rin stared into the distance, and then she started to count her fingers.

"I think I'm 11." Rin said. "And I think I'm turning 12 next month."

"Well, at least she's older than Shippo" Inuyasha joked.

"Well when Miroku, Sango, Kilala, and Shippo come back, we'll introduce you to them Rin, then we'll go to bed." Kagome said.

"All right." Rin answered with a nervous look on her face.

"Don't Worry" Inuyasha said. "These people are good. The only person you have to worry about though is Shippo."

"Why's that?" Rin asked.

"He might get a crush on you." He said with a grin on his face. His grin got even wider when he saw a blush on Rin's face.

Some time passes…

"Well, well Inuyasha. When you said you smelled wolves, you really meant you smelled a girl, and a pretty one at that." Miroku said with a smile. Rin just blushed.

"Hey Miroku, did you get anything while you were out?" Kagome asked.

"Well, we got more food and medical supplies and I also found a bath house for us to go in later." Sango answered. "Who is this girl, Kagome?" Rin hid behind Inuyasha. "Well, Introduce yourself." Kagome told Rin.

"It's okay, they won't hurt you." Inuyasha reassured Rin. Rin stepped out from behind from Inuyasha and bowed to the rest of the gang.

"Hello, my name is Rin." And she quickly hid behind Inuyasha again.

"What's with her?" Shippo quipped.

"It's probably you Shippo. I forgot to tell Rin that you were a demon." Inuyasha said. "It's alright Rin. He's not going to hurt you, he's most likely to hurt himself trying to hurt a fly." He said trying to ease the girl's nervousness.

"Wow. I never thought Inuyasha could be gentle." Sango said looking softly at Rin and Inuyasha with a slight smile.

"Yeah I agree, maybe this is Naraku in disguise to lull us in a trap." Shippo joked. "Stupid Brat!" said Inuyasha hitting poor Shippo.

"Ow! Kagome! Inuyasha hit me!" Shippo cried.

"Sit! Inuyasha, don't pick on Shippo. C'mon Rin and Sango, let's go to that bath house." Kagome said. They both agreed to go, although Rin was a little hesitant.

"C'mon. You can hold my hand if you want to." Kagome said to Rin.

"Okay" said Rin grabbing for Kagome's hand. Then she grabbed Sango's hand and smiled at her.

"Alright, let's go to the bathhouse and get to know a little about each other. Is that okay Rin?" Sango said.

"Alright!" Rin said smiling. Wow. I never seen Sango like this, maybe Rin can help Sango more than we can. Kagome thought.

"Alright guys! Let's hurry to that bathhouse!" Kagome said.

"Roger!" Rin answered and began to run with Sango and Kagome in tow laughing.

With the Guys.

"So, Inuyasha, where did the girl come from?" Miroku asked. Then Inuyasha told him on how he was following the wolves, Sesshomaru's, and the blood's scent. And all he found was Rin.

"Did you tell Kagome about Sesshomaru?" Miroku asked. "Or ask Rin for that matter, maybe she saw him?" he added.

"No, didn't think about asking Rin. I didn't want to tell Kagome about him, because then she might get all worried." Inuyasha said with distraction evident in his voice.

"Do you think you should tell her?" Shippo asked. Inuyasha didn't answer. His distraction seemed very apparent now.

"What's wrong Inuyasha?" Miroku asked. "I think the girls are going to be fine on their own."

"No, it's not that, the girl just smelled of death when I found her, but there wasn't a scratch on her, just torn clothes, I'm thinking it has to do with my brother." Inuyasha concluded.

"Torn clothes?" (Let's assume Rin got new clothes at the place their staying at) Miroku said.

"Yeah, but I'll think about that later, I'm going to wander."

"Yeah, don't want to hurt that small brain of yours." Shippo joked.

"Shut up runt!" Inuyasha yelled hitting him. "Miroku. Watch him, I'm going out."

Some time later.

The girls finally got back around 10 p.m. from the bathhouse; most of the time was Sango and Rin telling each other their life stories, because Rin and Kagome already had that conversation when they first met. Rin was holding Sango's hand and skipping while talking with her.

"Well, it seems you three had a good time." Miroku said to the girls once they got to the house.

"We sure did." Kagome said smiling at the two girls.

"Where's Inuyasha?" Rin asked.

"Right here." said a voice from the direction of the woods. Then Inuyasha stepped into the light. Rin laughed and ran to Inuyasha, hugging his leg. Sango and Kagome smiled a bit.

"So, did you have fun Rin?" Inuyasha asked picking up the girl.

"Yep, I talked with Sango, I like her" "What about Kagome?"

"I already like her."

"Oh."

"What about me?" Miroku asked.

"I think you're weird." Rin answered. Miroku had a defeated look on his face. Everyone laughed. Inuyasha even had a grin plastered on his face. Trying to save face, Miroku asked Inuyasha.

"What were you doing wandering out so late for so long Inuyasha?"

"Oh that. I was just scouting the area."

Looking for Sesshomaru, I bet. Shippo thought.

"Yawn. I'm tired, I'm going to bed." Kagome said to the group.

"Yeah, me too. Miroku, don't come around me if you know what's good for you." Sango warned.

"I just can't help it" He said with a sigh and went into a separate room.

"I'm going to bed too" Yawned Shippo and jumped on Kagome's bed.

"I'm going to keep watch." Inuyasha said and then he sat on the porch.

"Alright. Goodnight everyone." Kagome said.

"Good night" everyone one else said.

30 minutes later.

"Inuyasha?" a small voice asked.

"What are you doing up, Rin?"

"I couldn't sleep, can I sleep near you?" Rin asked. Inuyasha was stunned by this question. He didn't think anyone, even her for that matter, would ask that, him being part demon and all.

"Sure, I guess." Rin then walked to his side and snuggled against him. At least she doesn't smell like death anymore. And that's how Inuyasha and Rin stayed all night. Rin sleeping comfortably for once in a long time, and Inuyasha keeping watch for danger with a slight smile on his face, maybe I can get used to this he thought looking at Rin. She had a peaceful expression on her face. Unbeknownst to the two of them, they were being watched by Sango. Maybe he can be nice after all she thought with a soft expression on her face. She then closed her eyes and went to sleep.

AN: this was a monster long chapter for me. I apologize if this was slow. I would like suggestions on how to continue this. Please review. Reviews will hopefully improve my writing. And hopefully this was easier to read.
