A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't updated. It's the holiday/birthday/event/stuff season so I've been really busy with celebrations and shopping for people and being dragged all over the place for reasons I do not know why. And the whole time I never saw a computer… wait that's a lie. I saw one at Best Buy… but other then that! I haven't seen a computer the whole time till now! So read this chapter that by some miracle I could get up and don't expect to many updates anytime soon. Sorry again. Remember to review!

Travling with Sesshomaru

Kagome watched Inuyasha run into the woods wondering if he really heard her good bye. She felt her heart beat against her chest as an unnoticed tear streamed done her cheek. Kagome watch the half-demon turn in order to prevent hitting a tree then finally disappear from view. She then repositioned her bag to make it more comfortable then headed back toward the village.

Kagome's arm blocked her view as she wiped away the tears that clouded her vision. She then bumped into something tall and firm. Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru towering over her.

He stared at the confused miko's face before closing his eyes, trying to find words before he spoke, "Come miko. We're leaving now," he then held out his hand to reveal Shippo who seemed unconscious with a large bump on his head. Then great demon lord dropped the poor kitsume to the ground and turned around to leave.

Kagome stared at Sesshomaru's back before picking Shippo up and cradling him in her arms, "Wait… you want me to come with you?"

Sesshomaru stopped and repeated her question in his head. Choosing not to answer, he began walking again. Kagome struggled to get up because she needed to her arms to hold Shippo then hesitantly began to follow him.

Sesshomaru listened to the uneasiness of Kagome's footsteps and frowned, 'Why is she so unsure to follow?' he dropped the thought when he realized he might be scared of the answer. His eyes widened, 'This Sesshomaru does not fear…' He felt something brush against his side. His eyes quickly traveled to investigate. Sesshomaru saw the miko next to him, closer then he was use to anyone being besides Rin. Kagome was now using only one hand to carry Shippo as her other hand brushed against Sesshomaru's sleeve. Unconsciously, the demon lord grabbed her hand in a firm grip before it could withdraw. Kagome blushed a little with the realization that Sesshomaru and her were walking side by side, holding hands! She then smiled and gave his hand a genital squeeze reassuring herself it was the before lengthening and quickening her steps to keep up with Sesshomaru's pace.

Kagome began to hum a tune she couldn't remember the words to as she began to relax in Sesshomaru's presents. He turned to look at her. He never heard music with that kind of rhythm but it sounded beautiful when carried by her voice.

Before they arrived at their destination Sesshomaru made sure he released her hand the distanced himself a bit. They then walked into the large meadow they were eating in before to see Rin still sitting on the blanket finishing some leftover food while Jaken laid next to her groaning as another bump raised to join the many that were already on his head. The small girl seemed to feel eyes upon her and lifted her head to stare and the newly arrived duo, "LADY KAGOME!!!"

Kagome lifted the hand that Sesshomaru once held and waved her finger, "No…Just Kagome," she warned.

Rin smiled as she nodded her head then raced over to Ah-Un and shuffled through the many things that were now attached to his saddle. She then pulled out a green back-pack and ran over to Kagome, "You forgot this Kagome!"

"Ow yeah!" Kagome said while taking it then remembered something and began shuffling through Shippo's personal bag. Her face then lit up as if signaling she found whatever she was looking for, "Here Rin!" Kagome pulled out a regular sucker, "This is for you! Suck on the colored part. The sticks are just so you don't have to touch the other part when you hold it," Kagome explained while ripping the rapper off the sucker then she held it out, "Try it! It's really good!"

Sesshomaru stared at the thing that he knew to be called a 'sucker'. Unlike the one Kagome gave him, this one was green and slightly larger. He watched as Rin followed the miko's directions and put the sucker into her mouth. Rin's eyes grew wide as she tasted the sugarful candy. (A/N: I made up a word! WHOO!!!)

"Is it good?" Kagome asked.

Rin shook her head up and don vigorously.
