Kiyomi watched Lord Sesshomaru slice all of demons that headed for them with his Toukijin. As Lord Sesshomaru killed the ones attacking them Kiyomi sat upon A-Un's back along with Rin. Suddenly Rin pointed to the sky with wide eyes.

"Look at the sky!" Kiyomi had already seen what she was talking about. She had sensed it moments before it happened. Hundreds of demons flew from a large mountain covered in dark purple mist.

"My Lord," Jaken shouted, "the demons-aren't you going after them?" Kiyomi watched as he replaced Toukijin in his pelt.

"They are insignificant," he replied dully. As they stared at the mountain Kiyomi sighed.

"He is definitely in there," she said,"the jewel shards are steadily becoming tainted with his evil aura."

"Rin." Lord Sesshomaru called. Kiyomi slid off A-Un and moved toward Lord Sesshomaru.

"Yes, My Lord." Kiyomi knew what he wanted her to do and it was very wise.

"Take A-Un and get away from the mountain." Kiyomi peered at her through the corner of her eye.

"What will you do Lord Sesshomaru," Rin asked.

"It goes without saying," he responded. Jaken moved over to them and stared at him humbly.

"Pardon me My Lord," Jaken said. Lord Sesshomaru looked down at him.

"What is it?"

"There is no question Naraku has cooped himself in the mountain to regain his strength. He has undoubtedly regained his strength and is much stronger than before," Kiyomi stared down at him as she waited for him to finish but he said nothing more.

"Your point is." Jaken opened his eyes wide and bowed to the ground.

"My point, yes, what was my point," Jaken muttered, "I suppose my mind has grown weaker with age." Slowly Lord Sesshomaru began to walk away as Jaken continued to mutter to himself. Kiyomi followed behind him until they were stopped.

"Lord Sesshomaru, Lady Kiyomi," Rin called. They turned to her.

"Good Luck!" Kiyomi giggled and smiled at her. Lord Sesshomaru stared at her then began to consume his walk. Kiyomi turned from her and followed suit. Kiyomi whispered to him as they began to make their way up the mountain.

"It seems they are worried about you My Lord," Kiyomi said with a smile on her voice.

"It is unnecessary" he replied. Kiyomi chuckled and nodded.

"Though that is true," she said,"is that such a bad thing? It shows they care for you."

He said nothing for a moment as they walked.

"And what about you?" Kiyomi's eyes widened a little. She hadn't expected that from him.

"Do you worry for me, Kiyomi?" She didn't know why but her heart sped up. She was sure it wasn't because they were about face Naraku either. Kiyomi let a small smile grace her lips before she spoke.

"Is it bad, My Lord?"

He stopped and she did too. He peered at her from the corner of his eye. He then began to walk away and she followed.

"No, I suppose not."

Kiyomi nodded and smiled.
