"Are you well Rin?" Kiyota asked when Kouga placed her feet on the ground.
"Yes. Thank You." Rin said.
"Not a problem little one." Kiyota said smiling ruffling the little girls hair.
"Thank God you're safe!" Kagome shrieked as she ran to her friend pulling her into a tight fierce hug. Kiyota use to these embraces simply hugged her friend back attempting to breath.
"Kagome…sweetheart... Kiyota can't breathe." Kiyota said breathlessly. Kagome released her apologizing.
"He didn't kill ya that's a plus." Inuyasha said with a smirk.
"Yeah I didn't miss you either." Kiyota said to him.
"Feh." Inuyasha scoffed jumping into a tree sitting on its branch. Kiyota rolled her eyes at him returning her attention back to the conversation Kouga was having with the what seemed like himself. She raised her eyebrow at Kagome and motioned to him.
"Myoga. He's a flea demon, hence why you can't see him from here." Kagome explained. Kiyota nodded.
"You smell like my brother, go take a bath will you?" Inuyasha called down from his tree.
"Bite me." She growled up at him sitting down by Rin and Jaken. Rin giggled, Jaken rolled his eyes. Ah-Uh remained silently laying behind the small girl and toad. Kiyota sat against the dragon rubbing one of its head absently that currently laid in her lap. She didn't know why she felt so comfortable with these three. She didn't know them any better then she knew anyone else here, other then Kagome. She loved children and Rin was hard not to fall in love with. She was such a sweet child.
"He will return for us." Rin said looking at Kiyota. "Won't he?" Rin asked.
"He will return for you Rin." Kiyota said smiling.
"If its not too much trouble Kiyota, may I sleep against your side?" Rin asked. "I'm very tired."
"Of course you can Rin." Kiyota said smiling picking up her arm so the child could curl up against her. Ah-Un moved his head that was currently occupying the woman's lap. Rin's head resting in her lap while Kiyota's arm resting around the little girl.
"I apologize, she's a very blunt girl." Jaken said.
"No need. She's fine." Kiyota said pushing stray hairs from the child's eyes. Jaken sighed and climbed onto Ah-Un's back readying himself for sleep. Not too much later Kiyota herself drifting into a peaceful slumber.
Kagome looked over at the woman she'd known most of her life. She smiled seeing her there curled with the dragon, child and manservant. Kagome saw how at peace her friend seemed. Sesshoumaru himself couldn't ruin that picture. Though he could complete it. Kagome thought to herself seeing Sesshoumaru with Kiyota resting against him in her mind.
