Rin and Shippo
As they walked into the village Kikyo and Inuyasha walked over to Sango and then went to find Miroku. While Sesshomaru took Rin and Shippo flying on his cloud to help keep them happy. Soon it was close to dark and dinner was ready. At dinner everyone set around the campfire with new hopes in there hearts of seeing Kagome once again. They where reminded they still had something to do tomorrow when Rin ask when they would be leaving the next day.
Before anyone could answer Inuyasha told her it would be after Jaken had come back and had a little time to stretch from his long ride. With that answer she was happy once again and went back to eating her dinner and talking about whatever it was that came to mind. While sitting and listening to how much Rin could talk Sesshomaru was amazed at how patients Kagome really was with Rin. As he glanced over at Sango he quickly wondered how Sango had managed not to pull all her hair out with the amount of time she had took care of the happy go lucky with girl who never seemed to run things to say.
As Sesshomaru sat and pondered on the thought of Rin and the way she talked so much, he started watching a little closer. To his surprise he noticed something . Shippo was able to keep right up with her. He could talk just as much as she could and still never really not say anything all. A sudden thought hit him. Oh Gods in Heaven if they looked alike they would be twins. Then another thought struck him. If I'm lucky he will grow out of it. I can Only Hope. At least she had found someone who could give her a good chase and a challenge on how many things she can think of to talk about. Sesshomaru sit and watched to two talk a bit longer and slightly shook his head with a small smirk on his lips.
Back with Kagome. After she took her all but 15 minute nap she sat up on the edge of her bed. Never in her life had she felt so resistless. It seemed as though no matter what she tried, what she did nothing was helping. With every single thing she did she found she was comparing it to the past when she was with her friends or the man she loved. She tried laying on her bed but found she felt better laying on the floor with a blanket instead. She longed for a hot spring to soak in. A hot spring is the one thing that she new would help for sure with the way she felt. But the only way to have one was to go though the well. But since she had no Jewel Shards she could not go though the well anyway.
As Kagome stood looking out of her window at the stars they just didn't look the same as they did a few days ago. They seem so dull and far away now. Like the life was just sucked out of them and now they was just dull white balls that hung there. In the past they almost seemed magical they where bright enough you could almost read at night just from there light.
The only thing that Kagome has seen that has stayed the same from back then to her time was The Tree Of Ages. Everything from the sky to the ground was different. If she had a choice of where she would rather live she would pick the Feudal Era to live in every time. The only thing that would bother her about it would be not having her family with her.
Even though Kagome was in her own time with her family she had never felt so alone in her whole entire life. She felt like her life here was not hers anymore. She had always felt out of place but now it was even worse. With all of the other problems and now there is the vision or dream whatever it was she had today. She had seen him cry. She knew it was real even though he was not here. She could feel his pain, felt his tears on her wet hand. Heard her name. The way he had said her name the pain that was in it. She had hear that type of pain before. It was in the middle of a battle when a man was killed the sound of pain in his scream as a sword was drove though his chest. Even though she did not forgive him for how much he had hurt her. Kagome was worried about Sesshomaru.
After the meal was over and everything cleaned up. Sesshomaru stood up and walked into the hut taking out Kagome's bathing supplies and then taking off his own undershirt then redressing in his haori he walked back out to where Shippo and Rin where. "Rin come, it is bath time. Shippo if you like to join Rin for a bath. Then get something to wear." They watched as Shippo jumped up and ran into the hut and got clothes then running back out stopping and waiting by his side. "Come" With that he started to walk off leading both Shippo and Rin to the baths. Sesshomaru kept a close eye on Shippo's aura and notice he was falling behind. He stopped and bent down scooping him up setting him on his shoulder and picked up Rin. Now he could walk at a normal speed that he was use to. He hated walking slow.
After Sesshomaru reached the spring he put them down so they could get into the water . After washing there heads and letting them finishing there baths. He sat waiting on a rock . After 10 minutes of play time he announced it was time to dry and dress. Rin looked at him rather strangely as she had nothing to wear. He handed her his undershirt of which she gladly took and dressed with. After grabbing the Kimono he had washed while waiting. He picked both of them up and walked back to the camp stopping at the group."Say good night" He said looking from Rin to Shippo. Both said good night. He cared them into the hut and placed them on the sleeping bag. "Sleep well both of you." He said. Then he walked out of the hut and back to the group.
When he sat down no one said anything for a change in a way he was glad. He was getting rather tired of people saying things about how he acted all the time. But he could understand in a way. He had worked his whole life to make everyone even his own brother think of him in one way. When in reality he did act different when not in front of others. Kagome and Rin where the only ones who ever saw through his mask and saw him for who he really was inside. Even his servants did not get to see him for who he really was although they did know him better than others.
