Nikko P.O.V.

It has been a half a week since the bandit incident and we have been heading East in the direction Sesshomaru was tracking Naraku. It was late in night that the stars were all out and only the moon was the only light source to guide us.

Rin was behind me on Ah-Un, fast asleep laying on her stomach as her hands were hanging out to the side as if she was trying to hug Ah-Un. I smiled at the scene behind me with tenderness...I have grown attached to Rin as if she was my own, awhile back she even once called me "Mom" and it took my by surprise.

I look to Sesshomaru who was up in the tree. (We were resting for a little while for our journey.) and I saw Sesshomaur's eyes widen for a split second and then back to his stoic state. For a moment I wondered...What did he think of it? ... was he liking or hating the idea.

My thoughts of that memory were halted as Ah-Un came to a stop, I look ahead of me, seeing Sesshomaru coming towards us, I frowned in confusion of this. "We are stopping for the night...time to rest." He said as if he read my mind of wondering why we stopped.

Then he gently picks up Rin and hold her towards his chest, with her not even disturbed, she cuddles closer to him in her sleep. Softly I smiled...It was a rare moment to see him so gentle and caring to Rin.

I slide off Ah-Un as quietly as I could, turned and saw that Sesshomaru was in front of me. I looked into his beautiful molten golden eyes for a moment as we shared this silent connection, we never spoke of it but we knew it was there.

Then he broke eye contact and he nodded in permission as he carefully handed to Rin to me. She stirred for a moment and then snuggled into my arms as we settled for the night, the weather was warm so we didn't worry about a fire.

I lay next to the tree that Sesshomaru was in, Jaken laid next to Ah-Un with his staff by him and I quickly fell asleep.

...

Hours seemed to have past as I suddenly stirred myself awake first, I noticed that Rin had slipped out of my arms and slept next to Jaken. I chuckled for a moment as I got up to stretch to ease the aching muscles and some of my bones popped.

I sighed in relief as everything went back into place. I decided to walk a little but still at a distance if I get into trouble. Where I walked to was an open field between the forest.

The cicadas were loudly buzzing in the trees, it was very calming and soothing to me. I stopped and stood there for a moment as I slowly look up to the night sky. The night sky was amazing, it was like seeing the whole galaxy in the sky, so bright and full of wonder...

I never got to see this back where I was from whether in America or in Japan... I began to be deep in thought: The danger, the company, and the journey. Everything so far seem so surreal almost like a dream that I would wake up from anytime and be back in Sobo's home in my bed.

Suddenly, my thoughts skidded to a halt as I sense a massive evil aura, my hairs on the back of my neck started to rise. At a distance I saw hundred and hundreds of demons heading West as if they were after something. Before I got a chance to turn, a white blur went pass me and unconsciously I started to ran after it, knowing that Rin and Jaken were safe with Ah-Un.

When I got to where the white blur was, I saw that it was Sesshomaru fighting the demons with the Tokijin. I saw some coming from behind and waiting to strike Sesshomaru but then by instinct, I looked around to find a weapon, saw a sword stuck in a tree. It took a few tuck until I got it out and struck the demons who were going to attack him, the thing is...

I never used a word in my life but somehow if felt familiar as if an old memory or I was a completely a different person with sword skills. Sesshomaru strikes with his swords again as a hundred more vanished, turned and saw me fight the demons. He was surprised by my actions and doing extremely well in combat but we both continued on fighting the demons.

We fought as if we were one and the same entity as if we have been our whole lives. Little did I know that while we were fighting, at the edge of the forest, there was a demon insect holding an odd mirror. Unknown of what fate has brought... This is only the beginning of what is to come.

Naraku P.O.V.

I look into Kanna's mirror and see an event that which had surprised and pleased me. Not only getting more information on Inuyasha and Kohaku but also his older brother: Sesshomaru...he's fighting demons but with a woman along side him. It appears that she is fight with him.

"Hmmmm...it seems that Sesshomaru has another pet that he cares about...maybe more than that child he has with him...Lets see how he reacts when I take that woman away from him...A new chess piece has now come on to the board...How far is Sesshomaru willing to go for this woman?" He said as he focuses on the woman finishing of the last demon. She seems mortal...but there seems to be more than meets the eye. She seems like Kagome but not quite, she not from here but her aura, it seems ancient.

This woman had interested him very much.

...

After the battle, Nikko was panting very hard as she was out of breath, also was covered in demon blood and shaking a little bit with the sword still in her hands, unsure of what had just happened. It seemed that it was something within herself took over her almost as if it was instinct.

But then Sesshomaru approached her even with her all bloody, he looked at her for a moment. He slowly reached out to her, went to touch her face but drew back and moved away.

"You alright?" He said as she checked herself of injuries. She only a a couple of scratches and bruises and nodded that she was okay, unsure that if she can speak.

He hummed for a moment and walked away, Nikko shook her head as she came back to her senses and ran after him. They got to their site where the others were still sleeping except Ah-Un, the two headed dragon knew something that had happened.

"Um...I'm going to the river to wash this stuff off of me and come back." She said as she ran to the river. Cleaned herself up and the sword that she decided to keep for certain reason. She put on dry clothes and went back to the site, puts the sword in a side pouch that Ah-Un had and soon as she lay down, exhaustion overtook her body from the battle and she fell asleep instantly.
