Hey everyone! I was actually surprised to see some people were sad about Jaken's death. lol, Even if it is because they love to see him get the crap beat out of him. ^_^ To:The perpetually perky GC-anime freak! Good Charlotte is an AWESOME band. Especially Benji! ^_~ As far as Kag/Inu go, I really can't stand the couple. Inuyasha's smart ass attitude is really annoying. Kagome deserves better. Then there's the fact he loves the dead ice queen Kikyo more than Kagome....it sucks! Gr...Inuyasha, but hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion. ^.^ Right? To: Katzztar Thanks for the webbies. Their really great. ^_^ I'm planning on getting the movie, but not sure if I'm getting it from that sit or not. First though, I want to finish collecting the Escaflowne series from my local store. There $30 for each subtitled DVD! (I don't dubbed) =( It's so expensive. Gr... To: Me.. Damn! How did I miss *that* ??? Anywho, thanks for the error update. ^_~ To everyone else: Here's your update! ^_~

Chapter 3
Sesshoumaru ran towards his young ward's sent using demonic speed. He could smell others with her. A kitsune and a human. They wouldn't be much of a challenge for his power. He smelt no blood stained on Rin's sent, so she was unharmed. Good.
The demon lord entered the clearing only to be thrown back by a light blue light. He growled inwardly. He could see into the clearing but the invisible field wouldn't allow him to enter. He could probably break threw if not for that fact that mixed in with the transparent wall was a layer of purification magic. Magic that could only be created by a miko. He kept his distance from the wall but took to the sky to get a better view of his 'opponents.' Inuyasha's wrench lay in a pocket of blankets with Rin on one side and a young kitsune on the other. The miko wrench glowed light blue as, even in her sleep, she sustained the protective shield. He raven colored hair fanned around her face. She had one hand laying on her bow and arrows and the other around the children. A peaceful look graced her face as the children cuddled into her warmth. The scene reminded him of his mother from long ago, protective motherly love. Silently he wished for that kind of love again. To be like the kit and Rin, cuddled into the miko's protective embrace. What the fuck? Why was he thinking this? He needed no one. He was a tai-youkai.
He decided to wait it out until morning before getting Rin. The full bread sat up in the high branches of the trees as he waited, but his thoughts continued to drift back to the sleeping miko. She apparently no longer traveled with his half-brother, but she could apparently take care of herself. Though, with this thought, why did she travel with the nit wit in the first place? Then, there was the fact that the girl even had this kind of power. She, a human girl, was able to keep him from completing his task, and do it in her sleep no less. It troubled him. He had apparently underestimated her. His eyes moved to lay on the reincarnation's dozing form. She looked like a fine oil painting: laying in the moon light with light blue waves of energy radiation off creamy skin, dark hair spread around and framing the features of her face, and a small smile painted across her soft lips as she dreamed of happy things. She DID look like a painting, but why the hell did he continue to think it? He almost growled, but stopped when the girl's sleeping body rolled over causing her shirt to slide of her shoulder revealing much of the creamy colored skin. He scoffed, you would have to be a fool not to see the loveliness of the miko, human or not. It was only natural to notice, but it meant nothing, or so he decided.
As morning came the strength to the wall began to decline, just as the miko began to awaken, and by the time the girl had completely awoken the wall was completely gone.
Kagome stretched and then gently nudged the two sleeping children awake.
"Gu-tenmorugen, sleepy heads.", she laughed. "Good Morning, Kagome-chan.", yawned the kit. The priestess smiled at the pair. Then, she got up a began to prepare a breakfast. Rin and Shippou chased each other merrily around the camp, not seeming to notice the young woman doing all the morning tasks herself.
When the trio sat down for breakfast. Shippou and Tin paired off and chatting with each other in between bites of food. It seemed they'd become good friends. Kagome, however, sat a bit away, a troubled look on her face. She had her arms folded under and her pink lips slightly frowning as her eyes were glazed in deep thought. "Kagome, oneesan, what's wrong?" Hearing the sweet concerned voice our miko maiden pulled herself out of her thoughts and turned to face the child. "Actually, Rin-chan, I really want to go bathe." The two kids shot her confused looks. "I mean, I *would* go to the hot springs, but I don't want peeping toms looking at me from up in the treetops.", with those words she turned and looked strait at where Sesshoumaru sat hidden in the think vegetation's branches. He was slightly surprised, but his face didn't show it. "You can come out.", she stated flatly. With that the great western lord leaped gracefully from the tree and stood before the two surprised children. Shippou gaped, but without hesitation a black haired blur wrapped itself around Sesshoumaru's lags. "Sesshoumaru-sama!", she shouted gleefully, "you came for Rin!" Kagome remained emotionless, after all, Sesshoumaru *was* an enemy. You can never be to careful, as she had said before. "Rin, finish your breakfast then we will take leave." A small sound of pout came from the child, but she sat down to finish her meal anyway. The demon lord found a comfortable spot leaning against a tree by Kagome. He watched the children, taking short glances at the miko everyone and awhile, just tying to figure her out. He had to admit, she was intriguing. She sat there coolly, and even smiled when the children did something humorous. No human had ever done so in his presence. He was the great demon lord of the western lands, ningen and youkai alike feared him. Strange...."Do you not fear me, wrench?" A frown, "No." "Why. I could kill you so easily, with one swipe." "Sesshoumaru, with all do respect, if you wanted to kill me you'd have done so by now. Besides, you may be my enemy and I may despise your every existence, but you are honorable, something Inuyasha never was, never will be. An honorable soul wouldn't go strait out and attack someone who practically baby-sitter his um....um, Rin, and took care of her, even when knowing she belonged to you." Sesshoumaru didn't know what 'baby-sitting' was, but she *did* take care of Rin, and he hadn't planned on killing her. She had him there. "I do not expect to owe a human for their services.", he stated. "I would NEVER expect you oh, great lord of the western lands, to owe *me*.", she bit sarcastically. The girl had balls. (lol, not really. i just couldn't help myself. ^_^;; ) "Good." Kagome suddenly laughed and the demon lord shifted his attention to that of the young girl rolling around in the dirt with Shippou hugged tightly too her. "Kagome! Help!", shouted the kit. The reincarnation rose to pry Shippou away from Rin's grasp. "Now look at you two." Indeed. The set of youngsters looked like the homeless people who lived in cardboard boxes. Dirt was even more dreadfully clinging to the pair's clothes and bodies. Small stones laced their hair, and a few smudges of mud claimed their faces. "Looks like we WILL have to bathe with peeping toms nearby." She winked at Sesshoumaru. He growled, narrowing his eyes. Who did this girl this she was? "Common kids. Off to the springs.", she laced hands with the kids as they walked toward the pool of hot water.

Many of the characters have inside meanings in their names.
Kago means divine protection.
Sesshou means killing, destruction of life.
Jaken means hard hearted, cruel, unkind.
Naraku means hell, hades, eternity.
Shippo means tail.
