(As he was passing them, she looked to him with a soft smile. "Thank You" She said but didn't get a response back. She sighed as she leaned against the creature and fell asleep.)

Three Weeks Later...

Nikko was up and walking with no pain thanks to Rin's herbs she had given her. She did her best to help out in any way she could from building fires, catching fish to keeping an eye on Rin. Rin loves Nikko's company...even Jaken had a respect for her because it get Rin out of his hair also that Nikko would make things for Jaken to have, he would get touched by the gestures.

The more time she was with this group, she got to know more about Sesshomaru. Even though he doesn't express much, she understood when he was in a good mood or a bad one also stayed away from certain subjects. Such as family and his missing arm.

Along the journey their taking, she would talk to him about how she got to his world and other things too although he didn't seem to pay attention but she knew he was listening. She started to enjoy his company when he was around and not off on his missions.

When Rin runs around playing with Jaken, while Nikko watches while sitting making a basket, Sesshomaru appears and just watched her every move. Nikko smiled as she felt his presence, she always felt safe with him.

She stopped weaving the basket, puts to the side and turned to him. As she was staring into his eyes, he didn't look away, she smiled as he come closer to her. Sometimes he would reach out and almost touch her face, but he never did. Her heart would sped up every time he get close but disappointed when he didn't, secretly hoping he would touch her.

Soon it was time to get moving, she would pack things up and Rin would be right side me. So I would pick her up and give her a piggy back ride, she was laughing as Nikko was running around.

Nikko had gotten attached to Rin as if she was her own child. Nikko has loved every minute of her journey that she had been so far.
