Inuyasha and the group sat around the fire in silence. Kagome had awoken a while after Hannah ran off. She appeared completely fine. "I feel awful for yelling at her" Sango said sadly.
"feh. She deserved it. She could have killed Kagome" Inuyasha said
"but she didn't Inuyasha. I really think she didn't mean to hurt me" Kagome said.
"your just gonna go on and trust her again aren't you?" he asked, narrowing his eyes. Kagome turned to her friends "we'll see if we come across her tomorrow. Maybe she can explain to us what she did to me" she said. She narrowed her eyes at Inuyasha "accidentally…and you can apologise to her Inuyasha" she said
"what the heck did I do!" he demanded
"Sango told me you slashed her arm open" she said. Inuyasha turned away "she deserved it" he said.
"SIT!"
BAMM "KAGOME!"

Hannah slipped her shirt back on after treating it `I really shouldn't have fought Kagura if my arm was this bad` she thought. She sighed and laid against the tree. Her thoughts went to Naraku `he didn't even attempt to kill me after I took care of Kagura…which was pretty weird`
She stood up and walked over to the stream. She cupped her hands into it, and drunk the cool water. An idea suddenly popped into her head "I wonder if I can walk on water like Naruto" she mumbled. She made a hand sign and focused her chakra to her feet. She stepped on the water, and shakingly began to walk on it. She swayed from side to side "not as easy as I thought" she mumbled.
"wow! How'd you do that!"
She yelped in fright and lost her control, falling into the small stream. She resurfaced and spat out the water. She turned to the culprit…which was a little girl in a white and orange checked kimono.
Hannah recognised her as the little girl who travelled with Sesshomaru…speaking of which, he was no where to be seen. Oh well.
"l-little girl. Please don't yell like that. You startled me" Hannah said softly.
"oh I'm sorry. I was just so amazed about, how you were able to walk on the water" she said. Hannah smiled "well I've just started to learn…you can watch if you want" she said.
"ok. By the way, my names Rin" she said sweetly. Hannah smiled once again "I'm Hannah. Now you can still talk to me while I learn this…just don't yell again, ok"
Rin nodded and planted herself on the ground. The girls talked about different things like family, what they like ex as Hannah practised walking on water.
She squeaked and fell in the water once again. Rin giggled "that's the 7th time you fell Hannah Chan" she said.
Hannah hoisted herself out of the river and lay on the ground "I know Rin…I think I'll just sleep for a while to get my breath back" she said. 7 times does take up quite a bit of her energy.
"RIN! OH RIN!" a voice yelled, and she could recognise that voice anywhere "or maybe not…" she mumbled.
The frog imp himself stumbled out of the bushes out of breath. "Rin! I told you not to…"
When he saw Hannah, he shrieked and jumped back "waa! You again! I was hoping that fall last time killed you at least!" he yelled
Hannah groaned "listen frog imp. I'm not in the mood to argue with you" she said. Jaken huffed and turned away.
"oh lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said. Hannah cursed under her breath as the demon lord himself stood over her "hello" she said
"I thought I smelled you. You survived the fall I see" he said. Hannah sighed "yeah…apart from that cut on my head. But I'm good" she said.
"human! Why are you all wet?" Jaken suddenly asked
Rin giggled "Hannah was walking on water, and she kept falling in" she said. Hannah sat up. "Thanks Rin…" she mumbled
"impossible! No human can walk on water!" Jaken screeched.
Hannah rolled her eyes and stood up "that's cause I'm not human you baka" she said.
"you look human!" he argued.
Hannah smirked. "could a human do this?" she asked. She formed the tiger seal "clone jutsu!"
In a poof of smoke, there stood another Hannah. Jaken screeched and fainted, and Sesshomaru rose a silver eyebrow. Hannah high fived her double and made it vanish. She knelt on the ground exhausted.
"lord Sesshomaru? May Hannah travel with us?" Rin asked politely.
Sesshomaru looked at the now sleeping girl. He could smell her tiredness from her. "if she so wishes" he said, not taking his eyes off her. Rin thanked him and shook Hannah awake "Hannah! Will you come and travel with us?" she asked. Hannah thought about it and smiled "I don't mind, as long as Sesshomaru's ok with it" she said
"oh it is. Come on, we're going now, you can sleep on Ah Un's back" she said. Hannah nodded and stood up. Rin managed to get her to Ah Un. The two headed dragon looked at Hannah for a moment, but shook it off. Hannah climbed aboard and fell asleep instantly. Rin sat next to her.
"that wench shouldn't be sleeping!" Jaken said
"but all her training's exhausted her. She needs some sleep master Jaken" Rin said
"She shall not snooze away in lord Sesshomaru's…"
"Jaken!"
Jaken jumped and looked fearfully up at his lord "y-yes my lord?" he asked.
"you will leave her be" he said, and walked on forward. Jaken bowed "yes lord Sesshomaru" he said. Meanwhile, Sesshomaru was thinking about Hannah `if she's a demon, I can trust her to look after Rin, since she seems so fond of her`
He glanced at Hannah who was sleeping soundly. Her face looked angel like `she has yet to tell me WHAT sort of demon she is` he thought.
(night)
Hannah's eyes fluttered open. She sat up and stretched her arms. She was lying in front of a warm fire, and Rin was curled up beside her. Jaken was snoring by Ah Un and Sesshomaru was resting by a tree.
She stood up slowly, trying her best not to wake the three. `I'm not so tired now so that must mean my Chakra's back up and going. I'll do a little more water walking training` she thought as she tiptoed by Sesshomaru.
"where are you going?"
Hannah silently squeaked in fright and got into a fighting stance, but sighed when she saw that it was only Sesshomaru, who was now awake and staring at her. Waiting for an answer.
"I…err…was gonna train a little more. I'm not very tired anymore" she said, looking at her shoes.
Sesshomaru stood up and towered over her "not here. Follow me" he said, and walked by her. She followed beside him. As they walked, he began to ask questions "just what sort of demon are you?" he asked. Hannah looked up at him "A chakra demon" she said simply. He glanced at her "I've never heard of such" he said.
"That's because I'm the only one" she said. He stopped at a lake, far from the camp. He sat against the tree.
"and what is chakra?" he asked. Hannah placed two fingers in front of her and let a little chakra seep from her body. Gentle blue flames surrounded her "it's physical and spiritual energy mixed together to form a jutsu. Like I did this afternoon" she said.
She walked over to the water "one of the jutsu's is water walking. Like what I was trying to do today…and believe me it's not so easy" she said, mumbling the last part.
She formed the correct signs and shakingly walked onto the water surface. She started to get the hang of it this time, but she was still a little shaky.
Sesshomaru was amazed at her ability. And she looked beautiful in the moon light. But he swore that she looked a lot like someone from his past. The hair, the eyes, the face, it was all so familiar to him.
"Oi! You ok?" Hannah asked. He looked down seeing that she was next to him, soaking wet and poking his head. He grabbed her wrist firmly "don't touch me!" he hissed. Hannah got her wrist free and jumped back "touchy, touchy. You were in a daze and I got curious" she said. Sesshomaru sighed and looked back up at the moon. He looked down and saw that Hannah was sleeping again. He picked her up with one arm gently, and walked back to the camp. He set her next to him, and covered her with his furry pelt so that she wouldn't fall ill from her wet clothes.
He stared at her face `I know I have seen someone like her before…` he thought, as he fell asleep himself, unaware of the red eyes, watching in the tree's.
Naraku frowned `now that I've had a good look at her, she seems familiar to me…someone from the time after I was created.`
He turned and disappeared into the tree's.
