Okey, here's the next chapter! Please review it with advice to improve my writing!

Disclaimer: Y'all don't need the disclaimer... You all know that Inuyasha and all its characters belong to Rumiko Takahashi. The only one that belongs to me at the moment is Saisyo. There may be other characters made by me later in the story, though.

When Saisyo woke up, she still felt sick to her stomach, but at least she wasn't drowsy anymore. Do you feel any better, Saisyo?" a sweet voice asked.

Saisyo opened her eyes and smiled to see Rin. She sat up and asked, "What happened?"

"Well," she began happily, "while you where trying to shield me from that demon, Sesshomaru-sama saved you and I, then for some reason you passed out and he carried you back here to take care of you."

Saisyo looked around to find herself sitting on the floor of a cave. She looked outside and saw another dog-demon with long, silky-silver hair. He had his back to her, but then he turned around. His face was delicately shaped and emotionless. His eyes contained the purest color of gold Saisyo had ever seen. They brought out the color in the double magenta stripes on each of his cheeks and the crescent moon on his forehead.

He saw her staring and resisted a smirk. When Saisyo saw him walking towards them, she looked at Rin and asked who he was. "That's Sesshomaru-sama."

"Oh," Saisyo had thought that her rescuer wouldn't look so cold and distant, but she knew better than to judge people at first sight... That had happened to her too many times.

He arrived in the cave. "Rin, please leave us alone for a moment."

"Hai, Sesshomaru-sama!" she replied and skipped into the field.

Saisyo watched and said to Sesshomaru, "Rin's so cute, she's like the little sister I never had."

Sesshomaru didn't reply, so she asked, "Why did being near the ogre make me pass out?"

He was still staring into her eyes, but he finally answered without taking his eyes off her. "The smell. Your sense of smell, as well as mine, is too sensitive to be near an ogre for too long. You must kill them quickly so you can hold your breath."

"Is that why Rin was okay? Because her sense of smell isn't as good?"

Sesshomaru nodded. "You could've run away, you know. You didn't have to save her, I would have come in time."

"Are you crazy?!" Saisyo said, "I'm not so heartless as to leave a little girl to an ogre! Nobody is! I couldn't leave her, and I couldn't fight it either, she was clinging to my kimono and I was afraid that if I swung my sword I would hit her."

Sesshomaru's eyes were wondering why Rin had clung to her kimono. Saisyo noticed and explained. "Rin is very brave, too. I told her to run if the ogre came but she refused, saying that she wouldn't let me die for her. You should be proud of her, Sesshomaru-sama."

He looked down and said, barely audibly, "I am," then stood up. "You can just call me Sesshomaru."

He began to walk away, but Saisyo stopped him. "Wait!"

Sesshomaru turned around and looked down at her with those beautiful eyes. She waited a moment to look into his eyes before continuing. "Thank you, Sesshomaru."

He didn't reply, but walked away. 'He's sorta strange,' Saisyo thought, 'but he seems nice. So mysterious, though! Why won't he open up?'

She stood up and walked to the mouth of the cave, but Sesshomaru was gone. Rin ran to her and said excitedly, "I think Sesshomaru-sama likes you, Saisyo!"

"Why is that, Rin?"

"He was smiling when he came out of the cave, and that never happens!" she said.

Saisyo smiled warmly at Rin and went over to a field, Rin following. She sat down in the grass and looked around, her gaze stopping at a lump on the ground. She asked Rin what it was, but all she got was a shrug of her shoulders.

They both got up to find an unconscious imp-looking thing lying a few feet away. "What is that?" Saisyo asked.

"Oh," said Rin, seeing the imp, " That's Jaken-sama, he must have passed out when he saw Sesshomaru-sama smile. He always thinks that he knows everything, and he gets on my nerves sometimes, but I love him anyways."

"Hey, were did Sesshomaru go, Rin?"

"I don't know, sometimes he just disappears, I don't even think Jaken-sama knows where he goes or why." Rin replied. She sighed. "At least now I have someone to be with other than Jaken... Do you like to play, Saisyo?"

"Sure I do, what would you like to play?"

While they were giving each other suggestions on what they should play, Saisyo got an idea. "Hey, Rin, would you like to learn to play the flute?"

"What's a flute?" Rin asked.

"A flute is a musical instument. When you blow into it, it makes the most wonderful sound... You'd have to hear it to truly understand how pretty the sound is." Saisyo said.

"Could you teach me to play the flute?"

"I would have to get one... Or I could find a nice piece of wood and carve one," Saisyo said thoughtfully, "Yeah, let's do that. Could you help me look for two smooth pieces of wood, Rin?"

"Sure! But... Why two?" she inquired.

"To make me one, too, silly! I don't want to miss out on the fun!"

They smiled at each other and began their search of the area for smooth wood. Out of luck, there was a bamboo grove not too far away. Saisyo told Rin to stay a reasonable distance away as she drew her sword. (A/N: If you're wondering why Saisyo would need a sword... I can't tell you. But have you ever tried to break bamboo with your bare hands?! It's hard as hell! Let's just say that she needed to make a clean cut to make a flute.) She swung her arm back and gracefully cut two bamboo stalks. The flew up in the air and when they came down, Saisyo sheathed her sword and caught one in each hand, handing one to Rin. "Put this in a safe place; it needs to dry out before we can carve it."

Rin looked at Saisyo in disbelief. "We? I don't know how to carve a flute. How can I help you if I don't know how?"

"Calm down, Rin, I'll help you learn. What's a big sister for if it's not to teach their little sister? Saisyo smiled warmly at Rin and held her hand as they walked back to where the unconscious Jaken lay.
