Jordan had been sitting in a very relaxing hot spring, and was currently returning to the camp. "Aw, man that felt wonderful!" she sighed. The springs had calmed her down and she felt like 1 million bucks. On her way back she realized something… she didn't remember the way she came. "Crap, why me? Why does it always have to be me?" she whined. "Come on Jordan; just do the aura sensing thing Jillian showed you." She focused on finding a strong aura, and found on to her left. "Yes! I'm not totally hopeless!" she cheered. However when she arrived it wasn't Sesshomaru or Jillian she found, "Nope letting me actually find my friends would be so easy, but is anything easy…nope!" She thought miserably. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to walk into you camp, I got separated from my group. I'll be leaving now. As she turned to leave she felt a hand on her shoulder stopping her from leaving. Turning around she saw the reason for the delay, and one word passed through her head…"shit."

'She's taking far too long, that human probably got herself lost.' Sesshomaru thought. He stood up and headed in the direction he could sense her in. Unseen to him Jillian had also stood and followed him with a smirk on his face.

When they arrived where Jordan was, they saw to here amusement a very beat up monk, and a fuming Jordan. She had failed to realize that they had a returned and was still beating up the guy.

"PERVERT!!" she screamed at the guy. He had tried to feel her up, 'he got what he deserved,' she thought.

"I see that you have met Miroku," said a bored voice from behind her. Jordan turned to see Sesshomaru enter the clearing.

"You know this perv?" she asked with disgust in her voice.

"Come now my dear," said perv spoke, "I only asked if you would bear my children, is that so wrong?" He asked with fake innocence in his voice.

"Even if that was it there would be no way I would have your children sicko! You probably have tons of STD's if you ask everyone that!" she screamed at him.

"He does seem to ask everyone that, but I assure you that everyone is smart and turns him down." came a female's voice behind the monk. From the woods came a very pretty girl, about Jordan's age, with brown hair and brown eyes.

"Ahh, Sango! It's not what it looks like," a glare stopped him. "Ok so it is what you think, but forgive me my dear she was just so pretty that I couldn't help myself. However do not think that she could every replace you my beautiful companion." Miroku said, trying to cover things up.

"Uh ha, sure." She said with sarcasm, but Jordan could tell that she wasn't really mad. The girl turned to her, "Hello, my name is Sango, and the idiot you just beat up is Miroku." She said with a smile.

"I'm Jordan." She said. "And this is Se." She got cut off.

"Lord Sesshomaru. We haven't seen you since the last battle, I trust you are well." said Miroku.

Sesshomaru gave a curt nod, turned, and walked back to camp.

"Ah, ha-ha, I take it you know each other?" Jordan asked confused.

"We are acquaintances, not really allies, there was a large battle and we fought on the same side." said Sango.

"I see, well it was nice to meet you guys, well sort of, I got to go!" Jordan said chasing after Sesshomaru, so she wouldn't get lost. Miroku and Sango watched her go, and shared a knowing look.

"It seems lord Sesshomaru has found a girl." Miroku said with a grin, earning a smack to the head.

"Let's not forget who this is, he's probably just helping her or something," but in truth Sango agreed with Miroku, maybe Jordan could get through to the Popsicle. She saw the flash of anger in Sesshoamaru's eyes when he saw Miroku. "Maybe," she murmured.

"Well that proves it. The plan will work perfectly. Now I just need to work to get them closer to one another." Jillian thought, "Just wait Sesshomaru, you, a great demon will fall." He thought with an evil smirk. He then vanished, allowing himself to return to camp before the two did.

While walking back Jordan ran up to Sesshomaru.

"Hey! What's up?" She asked, trying to get Sesshomaru to speak to her.

"…"

"Wow, that's so interesting, why don't you tell me more?" she said getting agitated.

"What do you want human."

"It's Jordan, and nothing really I just wanted to talk with you…"

"About?"

"Oh I don't know. I just feel like you have been getting further away, like you can't stand me now." She said with a pout.

"And what makes you think that?" He replied.

"I don't know. Just a feeling I guess."

"Hn."

"So Sesshomaru where do you think we should look for my mom? We have been traveling for a while."

"We are heading east. I doubt your mother would be in the Western lands with the war that just took place here."

"I see. So do you think I've gotten stronger?" she asked, but there was a loud crash in front of them. Jordan was so startled that she didn't notice the tree falling behind her, the sounds of the crash drought out the sound of the tree. Jordan was then being pulled away by Sesshomaru so she wouldn't get squished. He pushed her up against another tree to steady her. She looked up in surprise to see a huge tree where she was standing a few seconds ago. "Wow," was the only thing she could get out. "Thank you." Feeling something on her wrist looked down to see that Sesshomaru was still holding her arm from when he pulled her away. As soon as he noticed he let go and looked away.

"Be more aware of your surroundings, don't let your guard down," He said. Then in a flash he was gone, to see what had caused the tree to fall.

"I guess that means no." she thought miserably. She knew she could fight well enough to hold her own against normal demons, but she didn't want to be so much of a burden on Sesshomaru. Her needing saving from a tree proved that she was a burden. "I'll talk to Jillian, he'll tell me how to get stronger and overcome my sword. "

When she got back to camp she saw Jillian sitting against a tree deep in thought, but no Sesshomaru. When he noticed her, he looked up with a smile.

"I know how to best your sword!" He said, "But, it will be extremely dangerous, and there's a good chance that you will die.
