Disclaimer: I only own one character so far, and you all should know who she is by now. Duh.

Notes: ...I got no notes!

When Saisyo woke up in the morning, Rin was curled up asleep by her side and Sesshomaru was laying his head on his crossed arms, also asleep. She smiled when she noticed that he had his hand lovingly on top of hers. Saisyo, not wanting to disturb either of them, closed her eyes once more.

Saisyo's rest was not lasted, however, for Sesshomaru stirred. She kept her eyes closed, though, liking the way he stared at her, enjoying the feeling of his eyes staring straight through her almost. He gently picked up her hand and kissed it, then leaned over to kiss her on the lips. She couldn't stop her grin from showing and she giggled. "I knew you were awake." Sesshomaru whispered in her ear.

"I know," she replied quietly, "I just wanted to see to what you'd do,"

"What did he do?" asked Rin sleepily.

"Hey, Rin, have you practiced your flute lately?" Saisyo asked, not wanting to tell a child about her love life.

She slapped herself in the forehead and jumped out of the bed. "I worried about you that I forgot about it!"

"You don't need to be worried about me, I'll be fine."

"'K!"

She ran off to practice and left Saisyo and Sesshomaru alone. He knelt down beside her. "Are you really okay?"

"Yeah, I feel a lot better. Actually, it doesn't even hurt anymore,"

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow suspiciously and smirked. "No, really." Saisyo said, "Look," She sat up and showed his the bandages around her torso. "It's not bleeding anymore."

Sesshomaru was amazed. "Saisyo, I think we just discovered another one of your powers."

"What? You mean healing?"

"Yes. Remember when you kicked me in the jaw?"

"Yeah," she replied sheepishly.

"Remember when you tore off part of your sleeve and put it on my lip to stop the bleeding? I just remembered that your hand flashed blue for a second, and when you took of the cloth there wasn't any swelling or bleeding." Sesshomaru explained.

"That's right," Saisyo said, remembering it too, "I guess I do have healing powers... Cool."

Sesshomaru smiled at her, but said, "I think we should have that old lady make sure that you're healed, though, just to make sure you're alright."

Saisyo sighed. "'That Old Lady' has a name, young man, use it." Kaede said, walking in, "Now if ye would kindly leave so I can examine this young, beautiful lady as ye wished..."

Saisyo blushed as Sesshomaru smirked at her while walking out. Kaede unbounded Saisyo's torso and gasped at what she saw. The was nothing on her back where the Wind Scar hit except a quickly fading red mark running diagonally across her spine. "Remarkable! Tell me, did ye know of your healing powers?"

"No," Saisyo replied, "Not until just now,"

"Amazing!" the old miko said.

Saisyo stood up while Kaede handed her a new kimono. "What's this for? My old one was fine,"

"Ye should ask Kagome that. She's the one who went out and bought it for ye."

It was long and silky, yet much different than her old one. This new kimono had a dark indigo crescent at the end of each long, draping sleeve, and the rest of it was a mix of blue and silver, Saisyo's favorite colors. "Wow," she marveled, "It's beautiful,"

Being it rude to refuse a gift, but thinking it was much too beautiful for her to wear, Saisyo slipped it on and tied it closed with the silver obi that Kaede handed her. "I love it!" she said, turning around to look at herself fully. She smiled at Kaede widely before going out to thank Kagome.

When she was found, Inuyasha was with her, and they were facing away from her. She walked silently up behind Inuyasha and reached for his ears. He immediately slumped to the ground and began growling in satisfaction. Kagome was dumbstruck. "How do you do that? I touch his ears all the time but he's never purred!"

Saisyo pointed to one of his ears. "You have to kinda pull on one and then scratch the other."

"Oh..." said Kagome, "Do you like your new kimono?"

"Yes!" Saisyo replied, throwing her arms around her, "Thank you so much!"

"Hey," Inuyasha interrupted, picking himself up off the ground and dusting himself off, "I helped choose that!"

"Oh, sorry Inu-Puppy, I didn't know that you wanted a hug, too," she told him while holding out her arms.

"Inu-Puppy?" asked Kagome, trying to contain her laughter, "I like that name!"

"It's a name I made up for him when he was little."

Inuyasha crossed his arms and his face turned pink. "I told you not to call me that! I also told you not to touch my ears!"

"And you know what else I did? I told Kagome how to make you purr."

He eyes went really wide and he looked at the giggling Kagome. "I didn't know you acted so much like a cat, Inuyasha, and that thing with your ears almost works better than the 'Osuwari' command..."

Even as she said this, beads around his neck that Saisyo hadn't noticed before began to glow and his face slammed into the ground. She burst out laughing and helped him up. Kagome was apologizing profusely, but also smiling.

She decided to ask something that had been in the back of her mind since Saisyo had come out to thank her. "Hey, what happened to your injury?"

Saisyo smirked and said childishly, "All gone!"

"How?" asked Inuyasha.

"Sesshomaru said that I had healing powers. He also said that when I kicked him in the mouth it bled, but after I touched it my hand turned blue for a moment and his lip stopped bleeding. I didn't notice it, but he did."

"Why did you kick him in the jaw?" Sango asked, walking towards them, as well as Miroku.

"He wanted to see what powers I had, so at first we sword fought a bit, then I put it away and began trying to use the ninja skills that i had. I accidentally kicked him in a very sensitive place-"

"Ow..." Miroku and Inuyasha said in unison.

"I feel his pain," Miroku continued.

"-and them punched him in the jaw. Do any of you know where Sesshomaru went?" Saisyo finished after a short laugh at their comments.

"Yeah," Sango said and pointed to the edge of the village, "He's over there with Rin. She seems to have gathered quite a crowd."

"Thanks!" Saisyo waved as she ran off in that direction.

"Damn, that IS a big crowd!" she said looking at it.

She politely excused herself as she slid past people to see what all the commotion was about. She finally broke through to see Rin playing her flute beautifully. When she finished her song, everyone clapped and whistled.

After it dispersed, Rin ran up to Saisyo and asked, "Are you feeling better? Did you hear me play? Was it good?"

She laughed. "Yes, I'm feeling fine, yes, I heard you play, and yes, I loved it!"

"I only came down here to practice, then Sesshomaru-sama showed up, ad then a few of the village children watched me play."

"Wow, Rin, that's great, but where is Sesshomaru?"

Rin giggled as he came up behind Saisyo, picked her up bridal style and spun her around. "You look beautiful in that kimono, but, then again, I think you look beautiful in anything,"

Saisyo blushed and thanked him, then gave him a kiss on the lips.
