Hey guys. Alright let me explain. Yes I am PrayForTheFallen but that was a long time ago so now, I hope you guys can read the revised version and review again. I won't keep you up here long, so enjoy the chapter.

The sky was darkened by the storm clouds that drenched the world in rain. The thunder rumbled as the lightning struck. Shelter was offered from nearby villages for travelers. Demons roamed free, looking for said travelers and using them as nourishment.

In a lone cave, on the side of a mountain, a young woman sat with her pack. Her kit slept near the entrance, set on protecting her amidst his size and youth. Her back was pressed against the wall and her eyes were peacefully closed.

As the rain fell harder and the lightning struck the forests surrounding the mountain the young woman's eyes snapped open.

She could sense them. She inwardly sighed as her motherly instincts got the best of her. The young woman made her way to the front of the cave, careful not to wake her kit. She peered out into the darkness and rain looking for something.

As she looked out into the rain she knew she had been right, as a group of figures approached causing her guard to go up.

The figure, as it came closer, seen the young woman.

As the figure reached the entrance of the cave the two eyed each other.

The young woman's eyes fell to the sick child in the figures arms.

'Me and my stupid motherly instincts.' The young woman thought.

"She needs warmth and rest." The young woman announced, sighing slightly.

"You think I do not know this?" The figure asked her coolly.

The young woman merely rolled her eyes and returned to the back of the cave. The figure entered and walked to the back with her. The young woman took out a blanket for the sick child and handed it to her keeper.

"Why are you out here alone wench?" The person asked her, wrapping the child in the blanket.

"I could ask you the same thing Sesshomaru." The young woman retorted.

The person, now known as Sesshomaru, the lord of the western lands, growled. Upon hearing the growl the young woman's kit woke up.

"Ah, Kagome, watch out its Sesshomaru." The kit exclaimed, running in front of his surrogate mother.

The young woman, now known as Kagome, had to stifle a laugh. She picked her kit up.

"You need to sleep Shippo, go back to bed." Kagome told him, shooing him back to his 'bed' at the front of the cave.

Shippo, the kit, eyed Sesshomaru but returned to his bed none the less.

Kagome walked over to the dying fire, grabbing wood as she went, and blew on it. The embers sprang to life as the dry wood was added.

Sesshomaru sat down against the side wall with the child beside him.

"Where is the hanyou?" Sesshomaru asked Kagome.

"How the hell should I know?" Kagome replied.

Kagome settled back down beside her pack. The child beside Sesshomaru coughed.

Kagome started to look through her pack, pulling out a thermos, symbolic to her abnormality. She poured the hot liquid from inside it into the attached cup.

"Here, make her drink this, it will help." Kagome told Sesshomaru, handing him the cup.

Sesshomaru eyed it and gently shook the child.

"Rin drink this." Sesshomaru told the child, now known as Rin.

The child drank the liquid before falling back into a deep sleep.

Sesshomaru handed the cup back to Kagome and eyed her.

He had always been the least bit curious of the girl. She wasn't afraid of him and she had no problem showing her emotions and opinions around him. Her clothing was odd as well. He did not know what the material she wore was but it was nothing like he had ever seen.

Kagome knew he was looking at her. She wasn't surprised. Everyone looked at her. Her clothing drew attention for one. She had switched from her old school uniform to a pair of jeans and a spaghetti strapped shirt, which was currently covered by a tight, warm sweater.

Kagome sighed and reached into her bag. She didn't feel like sitting in silence. As she reached down to the bottom she pulled out her mp3 player. Kagome always had her mp3 player. Ever since she had found that spell to make the batteries last forever she was near inseparable with it. She had made sure to only put songs she liked on it, seeing as she didn't travel to her time anymore.

Sesshomaru eyed the small contraption in Kagome's hand.

"What is that?" Sesshomaru asked her.

"Nothing you've ever heard of." Kagome replied, unraveling the headphones.

"What does it do?" Sesshomaru asked her.

"It plays music." Kagome told him, turning it on.

"I do not believe you." Sesshomaru told her sternly.

"And I should care why?" Kagome asked him, putting the headphones over her ears.

She closed her eyes and turned it on. Sesshomaru's hearing allowed him to hear the music that was coming from the headphones as well as Kagome could hear them.

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
'Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did
It has not healed with time
it just shot down my spine

You look so beautiful tonight
Remind me how you laid us down
And gently smiled before you destroyed my life


Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
You got much closer than I thought you did
I'm in your reach
You held me in your hands

But could you find it in your heart?
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces
Would you find it in your heart?
To make it go away
And let me rest in pieces

The song played and Kagome's eyes stayed shut. She loved the song because it sounded so much like her. As the next song came to play Kagome fell into a light sleep.

'Interesting, interesting indeed.' Sesshomaru thought before closing his eyes as well.

The morning sun shone brightly into the cave. The ground glittered as the sun reflected off the water still visible from the night previous.

Kagome opened her eyes and felt like going back to sleep. She knew Sesshomaru was up, he was looking at her again, and the kids were still asleep. Kagome yawned and stretched. She pushed herself up and looked around.

'Shippo still here, the lord almighty is still here and Rin seems to be better.' Kagome thought to herself.

"Rin has recovered. Once she has awoken we will take our leave." Sesshomaru told her.

Kagome just rolled her eyes, like she cared. As if on cue Shippo woke up and rubbed his eyes.

"Shippo get ready, we're going." Kagome told him, putting everything back in her bag and turning off her ongoing mp3 player.

The kit rolled up the blanket he had been sleeping on and ran it over to Kagome.

"Is Rin going to be alright?" Shippo asked her.

"Yeah, she'll be fine." Kagome told him.

She picked up her small black backpack and slung it over her shoulder. As she started towards the entrance a voice called out to her.

"Kagome-Chan?" Rin asked her, getting up.

"Yes Rin?" Kagome replied.

The young girl ran towards Kagome and gave her a hug.

"Can Shippo-kun and Rin play?" Rin asked her.

"Yeah, can we mom?" Shippo asked her.

"Umm...it's not really up to me." Kagome told them.

"Sesshomaru-sama can we please play?" Rin asked Sesshomaru..

Sesshomaru sighed, if he said no she would mope around all day.

"Very well." Sesshomaru sighed, for once his façade dropping.

"Does Kagome want to play?" Rin asked her, hope filling her eyes.

'Damn kids.' Kagome thought.

"Yeah, why not, let's go." Kagome replied, dropping her backpack off at the cave entrance.

As they walked out into the sunshine Kagome knew she was in for a treat. The ground was slippery and she knew they were bound to get dirty.

"Let's play tag!" Rin yelled.

She tagged Shippo and started running, slipping and sliding as she did. Shippo turned and started running for Kagome. Kagome laughed and started to run away, slipping all the time. As she turned she slipped and landed on her back, causing her to get tagged.

The slipping and sliding continued until the three of them were covered from head to toe in mud. The three of them walked back to the cave and Sesshomaru eyed them.

"Don't worry Sesshomaru; I'll take them for a quick bath." Kagome told him.

Kagome led the kids towards the spring she had spotted near the cave. She had brought her pack; she needed to change her muddy cloths.

As the two children stripped and jumped into the hot spring Kagome started to think.

Would you find it in your heart
To make this go away
And let me rest in pieces?

The song lyrics rang through Kagome's head as she washed the children.

"Kagome are you alright?" Rin asked her, noticing her spacey mood.

"What? Yeah I'm fine Rin, don't worry about me." Kagome told her, helping her out of the spring.

As the children got dressed Kagome quickly dove into the spring, disrobing quickly in the water, and washed out her hair. She jumped up on shore and got dressed quickly.

Look at me, my depth perception must be off again
'Cause this hurts deeper than I thought it did

Kagome sighed and stood up; her wet clothes were rolled into a heap on the shore and she put theme inside a plastic bag than into her backpack. She had changed into her spare pair of jeans and a short sleeved black shirt.

As she walked back to camp she saw that the two kids were running around the cave while Sesshomaru watched them.

Kagome walked over to him and watched as well.

"They get along well." Sesshomaru commented.

"Yeah, to bad they don't see each other as often. I don't know about Rin but Shippo could use a playmate." Kagome sighed, running a hand through her wet hair.

Sesshomaru nodded, a plan forming in his head.

"Come on Shippo we have to go." Kagome announced.

"Awww, do we have to?" Shippo whined.

"Yes, we do." Kagome replied.

"Can Shippo come visit and play sometime?" Rin asked her.

"Sure." Kagome replied.

Shippo and Rin gave each other one last look before Shippo started to walk out of the cave. Rin gave Kagome a hug before she left as well.

Kagome picked up Shippo and started to walk east.

"Kagome, can I really go visit Rin?" Shippo asked her.

"I don't know Shippo. I don't know." Kagome told him.

Alright, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Not much changed, just some wording. I will be revising and finishing this story before I start on the others because I also have to finish my story Ordinary, please read that one as well. Thank you for your time. The song featured was Rest in Pieces by Saliva and no I do not own the song just like I do not own the characters, unfortunately.
