Sadly I still do not own Inu-yasha or Sesshomerou or anything else involving those wonderful two- Ah well, please review!

"Can we rest here Lord Sesshomerou?" Rin questioned as the sun begin to set behind the trees.

"Yes, this should be fine." Sesshomerou said as he lifted the still unconscious girl off his shoulder and laid her on the ground. It had been three days since he first found the girl and although her wounds were healing quite well she was showing no signs of regaining consciousness. He admitted to himself that this girl had become quite the burden, slowing down his progress on his search for Naraku. He concluded that if the girl didn't wake soon he would have to drop her off in a human village to be cared for, something he should have done days ago, something he would have done days ago if it wasn't for Rin's excitement about having a female companion.

"Jaken, start a fire." He commanded as her noticed Rin shivering. "I will return." And with that he left to go on his nightly hunt in order to quell Rin's hunger, something he used to make her do her self until he realized she was getting malnutrition because she couldn't bring herself to kill an animal in order to get meat.

He quickly returned to find Rin still shivering while attempting to warm herself next to a small fire. He growled slightly as he realized the weather was changing and this would no doubt continue to slow their progress, humans being so sensitive to the cold.

Sesshomerou was about to fall into what he believed to be a well deserved sleep when he heard the sound of shuffling foot steps. He looked down from the tree he was perched in to find Rin starring at him with expecting eyes.

"Lord Sesshomerou," she questioned attempting to sound timid, a quality he knew the child did not possess, "Can you keep me warm?"

Sesshomerou looked towards his feet and noticed that their unconscious companion was shivering wildly as well and he turned to Rin and nodded at which point she squealed with joy. Sesshomerou scoffed as he saw the look of utter excitement on the girls face hoping she wouldn't make a habit of such requests. He had only allowed her this privilege once before when they first started traveling together and he was hoping it was something she would not come to expect. He decided that it was due time to get his human companions some warmer clothes as he jumped from the tree and quickly turned into his larger dog form.

Rin squealed in delight as her masters nose began to elongate into a snout and his joints and bones began to shift. After Sesshomerou wrapped his body around the sleeping girl Rin shuffled over and placed herself in-between her protectors giant front paws. She sighed contently as she snuggled into his silky fur, fiddling with a few silky strands as she dozed off to sleep.

Acelen moaned as an extreme pounding thumped violently in her head. She attempted to rub away the pain but was confused to find her arms trapped underneath something soft and heavy. She wiggled around a bit and discovered that she was completely surrounded by the warm fuzzy entity. She slowly opened her eyes and allowed them to adjust after a long period without use.

'How long have I been out for?' She wondered as her eyes began to focus on her surroundings.

It soon became apparent to her that she was out doors "makes sense, I must have been thrown form the car.' She though as she ran her fingers through what she now realized to be long white silky fur. 'But why would I be covered in fur if I was thrown form the car?'

She concluded that someone must have helped her and she began to look around for her savior. She yelped as her eyes met with two giant red ones which were closely followed by a set of giant fangs, all of which were a part of the largest most ferocious canine she had ever seen in her life. A canine, she soon realized, that was now cuddling her in between its body and its tail. Her heart raced as she began to franticly push away from its tail in and attempt to scramble away.

Seeing a look of pure terror in the eyes of the girl he had recently saved Sesshomerou moved his tail and released her. He huffed as her watched her dash off, unprotected, into the night.
