Kaida smiled as she woke up the next morning. She was curled up against Sesshomaru's chest. She smiled happily. Oh Sesshomaru... She cuddled closer; she breathed in his scent happily. She closed her eyes reliving the moments from yesterday. Especially the kiss. She touched her lips and flushed slightly.

"Kaida..." Sesshomaru whispered gently.

"Good morning." She smiled as she got up. He watched her. "I'm going to go get some fruits for breakfast."

"Be careful." Sesshomaru nodded. "And come back quickly."

"I will." She smiled and walked off. She felt so happy; she could already see her future with Sesshomaru unfolding. Rin would be like their daughter… and if they had any of their own. She flushed just thinking about it.

By the time she had finished gathering up enough fruit for them all, she was heading back to the campsite and trying to figure out how marriage ceremonies worked for demons.

When she arrived back she found everyone awake and Rin crying. "Rin?"

"YOU'RE BACK!" Rin stopped crying instantly and dashed over to hug Kaida. "I thought you had left again!"

Kaida smiled. "No. I just went to get some food." She smiled up at Sesshomaru. "I have no wish to leave anymore."

Sesshomaru didn't say or do anything, but there was a spark in his eye that informed Kaida that he did care for her and was glad she was back and safe.

"Let's have some breakfast." Kaida patted Rin's head. "And then we can continue to travel."

Rin laughed happily and took the fruit Kaida handed her. Kaida smiled and took Sesshomaru another one. "Hungry?"

Sesshomaru let a small smile crack and took one. Kaida smiled, knowing his hard exterior was melting.

Once they finished breakfast Kaida rested back and watched Rin play with some flowers. Sesshomaru was standing on the edge of the cliff and staring out at the water. Kaida wanted to go to his side and hug him, but he looked like he was in deep thought and she didn't want to distract him.

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning. Sesshomaru glanced over as the smoke cleared and an old man on a three eyed cow was there.

"Huh?" Kaida blinked confused. "Who's that?"

"Totosai." Jaken grumbled.

"I see how it is." Totosai muttered to himself.

"What do you want?" Sesshomaru asked calmly.

"I knew that something was missing. Tokijin's gone." Totosai said eyeing Sesshomaru's waist where only one sword remained.

"Hm. Even without my sword, my claws will be enough to tear you apart." Sesshomaru growled. Kaida tensed, not sure what history there was between the two demons.

"That has nothing to do with this." Totosai sighed. "I was compelled to come here. Tenseiga called me."

"Tenseiga did?"

"Don't play dumb. You must have noticed that Tenseiga is making noise."

While Sesshomaru glanced at his sword Kaida stepped forward. "Excuse me, but who are you? And how do you know about Sesshomaru's sword?"

"My name is Totosai, and I am the one who forged Tenseiga."

"You…. Wow. So that explains how you could hear Tenseiga." She glanced over at the sword and smiled.

"Yes well Sesshomaru, it appears that your heart now has what it was lacking?"

"What do you mean 'lacking'?" Jaken grumbled. "Lord Sesshomaru has a perfect heart!"

Kaida chuckled slightly. She loved Sesshomaru, but she knew he was far from perfect. He still had quite a way to go till he was perfect. The first step would be getting along with his brother.

"He's strong and kind." Rin smiled. Her child's innocent made Kaida smiled. Rin was correct, even if not very many people knew it.

"I've never seen him be kind." Jaken said, his eyes starting to water.

"Don't cry, Master Jaken." Rin said.

"Tenseiga has reacted to the change in your heart." Totosai said, ignoring Rin and Jaken.

Kaida perked, wondering what Totosai was talking about. Sesshomaru turned away from Totosai and looked out over the sea again. Sesshomaru…

"A heart that felt rage and sorrow for the sake of another, most likely." Totosai continued. "Now, hand over Tenseiga." Totosai held out his hand expectantly.

Kaida tensed watching Sesshomaru turn around slightly. "What?"

"The time has come to reforge Tenseiga, into a weapon."

Reforge into a weapon…. Kaida glanced between Sesshomaru and Totosai shocked.

Kaida looked over as Totosai returned. He had taken Tenseiga in the morning and left Sesshomaru and the group to wait. They hadn't gone far, but Kaida was glad Totosai had found them easily. Totosai handed Sesshomaru his sword and looked at the field that they were standing in.

"Rin stay behind me." Kaida whispered and she moved back a little. She didn't want to get in Sesshomaru's way.

"Draw your sword." Totosai commanded.

Sesshomaru calmly pulled out Tenseiga. It looked exactly the same as Kaida remembered it. Suddenly an ogre slowly rose up out of the ground behind Sesshomaru.

"Ogre!" Jaken gasped. Kaida remained calm, she knew Sesshomaru could handle a weak demon. She glanced over at Totosai and found him watching Sesshomaru calmly.

Sesshomaru turned to face the Ogre calmly. Kaida watched as he jumped up and sliced along the ogre's chest, creating a purple line that faded quickly. Sesshomaru jumped back and landed calmly a few inches away. The ogre looked at itself confused, shocked that it was still alive.

"It didn't cut him!" Jaken wined, voicing Kaida's concern. "Nothing's changed!'

"Master Jaken!" Rin gasped, pointing towards the Ogre. "What's that? Behind the ogre…"

A purple crescent moon slice suddenly opened behind the Ogre.

"He's opened the Path to the Underworld." Totosai said calmly, but Kaida could tell he was kind of annoyed. Probably that Sesshomaru had gotten it down on the first try.

"Path to the Underworld?" Jaken blinked confused.

The ogre suddenly spilt where Sesshomaru had cut and fell apart. The opening behind him closed. Kaida was impressed.

"Wh-what was that?!" Jaken gasped.

"As you say, the ogre's body was taken to the other world." Totosai said calmly. The look of annoyance remained, but it was fading.

"A technique that cuts through to the Underworld…" Sesshomaru said looking at his sword.

"Tenseiga is a sword that connects this world with that world." Totosai said. "That is why Tenseiga's master can see creatures from the other world and cut them down, returning the dead to this world."

"Whoa, really?" Rin asked.

"So instead, he cuts into the Path to the Underworld, to literally send his enemy to the next world." Totosai continued. "That is how you use Tenseiga. And you just performed… Meido Zangestsuha."

"Amazing." Kaida smiled. "Sesshomaru…"

Sesshomaru ignored her for a moment and looked over at Totosai over his shoulder. He paused to think for a moment. "Totosai, I now hold Tenseiga for battle." A wind blew through the air.

Kagura…. Kaida looked at Sesshomaru. He gave her a look, saying he loved her but he was going to avenge Kagura's death.

"Wind?" Rin blinked, she obviously was too young to understand the significant of the wind.

"Let's go." Sesshomaru turned and started to walk off. Rin and Jaken ran after her, trying to catch up.

"So cool!" Kaida heard Jaken say.

"Thank you Totosai." Kaida smiled looking over at the older demon. "Sesshomaru won't say it, but deep down he is thankful." She waved as she ran to Sesshomaru's side. "Come on Sesshomaru…. Let's go."
