The bright sun shone cheerfully on a little village. A little green imp was running as fast as his short legs could carry him to this village. He'd heard people talking about a silver haired hanyo, perverted monk, strong demon slayer, and beautiful Miko coming this way after defeating a huge demon. He only hoped he could catch them before they moved on.

Kagome gently shook Shippo, "Wake up, it's time to pack up and go."

The kitsune opened his eyes lazily, "Can I eat before we go? Please, Kagome?" He said while jutting out his lower lip and widening his eyes, successfully making a puppy dog face.

"Of course, Shippo! Just hurry, okay?"

Kagome handed him a granola bar and started repacking her big yellow bag.

"Oi! The green dude that travels with Sesshomaru is coming this way," Inuyasha yelled, "Sesshomaru must be close!"

Inuyasha pulled out Tesagia, preparing for a battle, Sango changed into her slayer's outfit with her Hiraikotsu at the ready. Kagome looked around the cluttered room until she found her bow and arrows. When everyone was prepared, everyone ran outside to meet Sesshomaru.

Shippo sniffed the air, "I don't smell Sesshomaru."

"But why would it just be Jaken?" Kagome asked.

Miroku looked thoughtful, "Perhaps he wanted to send a message but could not or would not deliver it himself."

"Sesshomaru doesn't need help, and if he did he would kill himself before asking us, so it's not a message for help. Maybe it's a death threat. No, He would tell us that himself. I don't know," Inuyasha growled, "Probably some sort of psychotic trap!"

By the time Inuyasha had finished, Jaken was there panting from exhaustion. Kagome dug around in her back-pack for a few minutes and pulled out a bottle of water, "Would you like a drink?"

Jaken stared at her suspiciously for a moment before accepting.

"So," Sango started, "Why are you here?"

"I, Jaken, have a message from the most awesome and powerful Lord Sesshomaru, he said to tell you, Miko," he pointed at Kagome," That your assistance is required. We shall leave right away."

There was a shocked silence, before an outraged Inuyasha shouted,

"No way! You can go and tell your precious Sesshomaru that we decline. What has he ever done for us? Nothing. He 'requires our assistance'? Yeah right! More like hoping we'll come and he can corner us, You can just tell him-"

"Inuyasha, I do believe he asked me."

Inuyasha glared at Kagome.

"Well, Kagome, I agree with Inuyasha, it is kind of fishy. Jaken, exactly what does he need help with?" Sango asked, narrowing her eyes at Jaken.

"You dare question Lord Sesshomaru?!"

Inuyasha bopped Jaken on the head, "Yes, yes! We dare question him," Inuyasha picked Jaken up by the back of his cloak, "Now answer the question!"

Jaken looked terrified, "W-well, Rin g-got s-sick and I-I believe Lord Sesshomaru wants the M-miko's medicines."

Inuyasha dropped him to the ground.

"I'll go," said Kagome.

All eyes turned to her, Miroku was the first to speak up, "Lady Kagome, are you sure that is a good idea?"

Inuyasha was absolutely outraged, "WHAT?! No way, you're going! That's insane! What if he attacks you and takes the jewels or something? Or holds you hostage?"

Kagome calmly answered, "One, Sesshomaru has never shown interest in the Sacred Jewel and aren't you the one he wants dead? So why attack me?" She asked raising an eyebrow, "Two, hold me hostage for what? We don't have anything he wants... well there is Tesaiga but he hasn't bothered here lately and I think he gave up. I don't really think he's that kind of guy anyway, if he wanted something he'd just go get it and kill whoever was in his way. Three, I think this real because I know he cares about little Rin, and it just feels right. Before you say anything, Inuyasha, I'm not doing it for Sesshomaru but for Rin. Besides, you guys are coming with me, right?"

Everyone nodded and Inuyasha jumped in the tree to sulk.

"I would love to see Rin again anyway," said Sango.

Kirara meowed in agreement.

"All of you?! Lord Sesshomaru wanted just you!" Jaken yelled at Kagome.

"It's all of us or nothing."

Jaken sighed resignedly, "Fine. We leave tonight."

As he looked at the full moon he smelled them before he heard them, Inuyasha's entire group had come with Jaken. He had a hand on his sword just in case Inuyasha acted like his usual idiot self. But Inuyasha did nothing but glare, staying close to the Miko protectively.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I have brought them," Jaken said with a bow.

Sesshomaru turned his head toward him, "I see this, Jaken"

Jaken nodded, then promptly found Ah-Un and fell asleep against it.

"Hello, Sesshomaru. Where's Rin?" Kagome asked.

Sesshomaru nodded his head toward the tree where she slept.

"Dear Sango, let me help you with that," Miroku said, coming to help Sango unroll the blankets and set everything up for the group.

A few minutes later, a slap echoed through the clearing with a shout of, "PERVERT!"

Miroku was sporting a red hand print on his cheek and a lecherous grin, Sango sat steaming by the fire they had made. Sesshomaru merely raised an eyebrow, wondering if this was normal behavior. The noise had woken Rin, who sat up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. She looked around and took in all the people around her before jumping up happily and hugging Kagome.

"Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Shippo, Kirara! What are you guys doing here?"

"We heard you were sick so we came to visit! And hopefully, make you feel better!" Said Kagome, hugging Rin back.

Sango walked over, "Hello, Rin!"

Miroku took Rin's hands and knelt before her, "Rin, when you are well and much older, will you bear my chil-?" he broke off into nervous laughter as Sesshomaru glared daggers at him and flexed his clawed hand threateningly, "Um... never mind, Rin."

Inuyasha was barley containing his laughter as Sango marched over there, eyes fiery with rage, and dragged him into the dark forest with mutters of, "We need to have a talk... you will regret that... no need for Rin to see unnecessary violence..." her voice faded as they went deeper in the forest, out of site.

"Right... let's forget that happened," Kagome got a worried look on her face, "Inuyasha, where's Shippo? He was here earlier."

"Haven't seen him since we got here."

"Maybe you should look for him."

"No way I'm leaving you alone with him," Inuyasha jerked his thumb over his shoulder at Sesshomaru, "Shippo is probably fine."

"Yes, but-"

Sesshomaru broke in, "Perhaps you should check the direction the Monk and Demon Slayer went."

Sesshomaru was getting irritated with all the bantering and wanted them all to shut-up, help Rin, and leave.

"Oh, well he always eavesdrops on us. Guess he listens to their conversations too."

Kagome then busied herself by digging out the cold medicine.

Inuyasha nodded, "Serves them right, Sango and Miroku always spy on us so I say let them get spied on."

Kagome ignored him and gestured for Rin to come, "Okay, Rin, I want you to open your mouth so I can see your throat. Okay?"

Rin opened her moth and Kagome used her flashlight to see the back of her raw throat. Sesshomaru watched, secretly wondering where she got the thing that put out a beam of light. Kagome then got a bottle of water and measured some liquid into a small spoon.

"This is going to taste horrible but I want you to drink it all, it'll make you feel better. It's easier if you drink it really fast to get done and over with."

Inuyasha sniffed curiously at the liquid and started gagging, "What is that? It smells disgusting."

Kagome threw him a look and quickly whispered, "It is medicine from my time, and it doesn't taste nearly as bad as that stuff you gave me when I was sick!"

"It worked, didn't it?"

"Whatever."

"Miko, what exactly are you giving her?" Sesshomaru wanted to make sure she wasn't poisoning Rin.

Kagome smiled kindly, "My name is Kagome, not Miko. And this will bring down her fever, dry her nose, and numb her throat for a few hours. It works quickly so she'll feel better soon," Kagome studied Rin for a moment, "I think you'll be able to travel again in about three days."

Sesshomaru nodded and walked off. Kagome turned back to Rin and held the spoon to her lips, Rin was hesitant to take it but opened her mouth swallowed it. She made a disgusted face and chugged the water to get the taste out of her mouth.

The bushes rustled and Shippo popped out giggling, "You guys should have seen! I almost felt bad for Miroku but it was too funny!"

Sango came out of the forest holding herself in a smug fashion, Miroku limping after her with lots of bumps on his head.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and jumped in a tree, keeping watch. Kagome just sighed and shook her head at Miroku.

"Hi Shippo," Said Rin

"Hey, Rin! How do you feel?"

"Rin feels a little bit better, Kagome's icky stuff must be working," Rin looked around the clearing and frowned, "Where's Lord Sesshomaru?"

"He's not far, I can still smell him."

"Thank you, Inuyasha," said Rin.

Kagome glanced at the sky, 'It's late, I would guess about midnight.'

She set up her sleeping bag by the fire, Sango and Kirara decided to sleep by Kagome and leave Miroku on the otherside of the fire. Looking up, Kagome was startled to see Sesshomaru was back. He had made no noise coming back and Kagome idly wondered how long he'd been sitting by the tree.

"Rin, I'm going to sleep. Do you need anything?"

Rin shook her head, so Kagome crawled into her sleeping bag with Shippo and fell asleep.

Kagome woke up when she heard the rustle of leaves and the patter of footsteps. She cracked her eyes open just a little so she could see what was going on while pretending to still be asleep.

Rin was the one up and Kagome thought about getting to see if she needed anything but decided against it, in favor of seeing what she was doing.

Walking as quitely as she could, Rin went over to Sesshomaru who sat leaning against a tree, eyes closed. Rin tugged on his sleeve and he opened his golden eyes toward her.

"Lord Sesshomaru..." she whispered.

The wind blew and she shivered once.

Kagome still wasn't sure exactly what Rin wanted from Sesshomaru but he seemed to know.

He nodded once and a smiling Rin curled up in his side, he put his arm around her and closed his again.

Kagome turned around and poked Sango until she whispered, "What?"

Putting her finger to her lips, Kagome pointed over at Sesshomaru and Rin.

"Aww, that is so adorable!"

"I know! Isn't that just the cutest thing you've ever seen? This just proves he does have a heart somewhere!"

The girls talked in hushed voices for a few minutes longer before going back to sleep

Kagome was rudely awakened by Inuyasha that morning, "Oi! Wake up, we need to go."

"Five more minutes..."

"No," Inuyasha said as he started poking her.

"Stop that, it's annoying."

"Get up and I'll stop."

Kagome smiled a beautiful smile, "Sit."

Kagome yawned and got up as Inuyasha crashed to the ground. She saw the others had already packed and Rin was munching on some berries, feeling a little better. It looked like Sesshomaru planned on leaving today too, for Ah-Un was saddled and it's bag full. Jaken held the reins mumbling.

Kagome grabbed the medicine and walked over to Sesshomaru, "Take this, give Rin two spoons, twice a day for three days."

Sesshomaru said nothing but took it and put it the saddle bag.

"You could at least say thanks..." Inuyasha grumbled.

"Bye, Rin!" Kagome yelled as the groups went their separate ways, things back as they were.

"Bye, thanks for everything!"
