"Very good Rin!" Kiyomi smiled as she tied her last flower stem into the crown. Kiyomi had finished her floral crown and placed it on her lap as she watched Rin finish her own. Rin sighed in excitement when her floral crown was placed on her head.

"It's so pretty!" Kiyomi giggled at the little girl as she stood and twirled. Kiyomi clapped and stood.

"That was so fun Lady Kiyomi." Rin stood and stretched happily. Kiyomi stood and stretched as well, testing her aching muscles. The feeling in her body was back to normal. And she was very relaxed.

Kiyomi felt the wind blow through her hair and smiled.

"Are you better now Lady Kiyomi?" Kiyomi breathed in a deep sigh and nodded.

"Yes, I am," she answered, "thank you very much Rin." Kiyomi watched the little girl as she began to make her way down the hill. Kiyomi followed her and were greeted by a snoring imp.

"Master Jaken fell asleep." Rin squatted next to him and poked his face with an innocent look on her face. Kiyomi chuckled and looked up to the sky. The blue sky looked amazing. Birds were flying, clouds were floating, and the wind blew gently against her. Kiyomi let her eyes close as the suns ray's fell down on her.

"Lord Sesshomaru is back!" Kiyomi looked away from the sky and turned her attention to where Rin was looking. He was indeed there. He was walking in their direction and she noticed how graceful he was. His long silver hair blew in the wind as he made his way over to them.

"Welcome back Lord Sesshomaru." Kiyomi watched the little girl bounce with glee as he closed the distance between them. Kiyomi smiled and bowed deeply at him.

"Good evening My Lord." Kiyomi straightened herself before she spoke again.

"My Lord, Thank you for helping me yesterday, I am in your debt." She could feel his eyes watching her.

"You are completely healed then?"

"Yes, I am." Kiyomi couldn't take her eyes away from him. His golden eyes were captivating. She felt odd under his gaze. She felt uneasy around him and yet she never felt safer.

"I'm sorry for troubling you once again My Lord." Suddenly Rin came in between her and him holding her floral crown.

"Lord Sesshomaru look what Lady Kiyomi and I made together!" Kiyomi watched the little girl bounce up to show him.

"Its pretty right?" Rin said as she placed it on top of her head and twirled.

"Hn." The little girl bounced away, brimming with happiness. Kiyomi giggled at the her. The effect he had on her was very adorable.

"Come." Kiyomi turned away from the little girl when she heard Lord Sesshomaru's voice. He had walked away from her while her attention was focused on Rin. Kiyomi nodded and began following him to where he had originated.

"My Lord is it alright to let Rin stay by herself?" Kiyomi asked as they made their way through the forest.

"She will be fine. Jaken is with her." Kiyomi frowned and pursed her lips. She didn't feel very satiated with his reply but if he thought the imp was safe enough for Rin she might as well accept his decision. Kiyomi continued to follow him for minutes filled with silence until her curiosity peaked.

"My Lord where are we going?" He hadn't answered her. He just kept walking until they came to a large river. He stopped and stood there, as if he was waiting. Kiyomi walked to his side and turned to him.

He was staring into the water. Kiyomi blinked and looked into the water but saw nothing. But her senses were different from her eyes. Even though she couldn't see someone there was a demonic aura, something was there.

"Why do you continually get attacked by demons?" Kiyomi blinked at him as he stared into the water.

"My Lord?" It wasn't that she didn't understand his question. It was just that she didn't understand why he was asking. Kiyomi fidgeted with her fingers. She didn't know what to say really but she couldn't very well not answer his question. Kiyomi sighed deeply and turned to look into the dark waters of the river.

"Someone is after me." Kiyomi decided she would answer him. He was the one saving her now and then she could at least give him an explanation. This time he turned his head to look at her. She didn't look back at him. She continued to stare into the river.

"A demon named Naraku," she relaxed a little when she felt a slight breeze blow through her, "he wants me dead."
