Rin pressed the makeshift bandage to Kagome's leg with a smile. "Sesshomaru-sama must know that you're strong if he doesn't want to fix you," Rin explained encouragingly. "One day I'll be strong too so he won't have to fix me ever again."

Kagome sighed warmly. "Thank you," she said. "It feels much better now."

Rin beamed.

"I still don't trust her, Lord Sesshomaru," said Jaken, holding his staff defensively. "I think she means to trick you."

"I do not!" Kagome cried. "I already explained myself. This is one big mistake."

"Happy mistake," said Rin, patting Kagome's bandage gently.

Kagome smiled.
