(Suddenly, I saw a little girl leaving the group, coming towards Kaede's hut, she looked familiar, then it hit me...It was Rin.)

..._..._..._..._...

Nikko P.O.V.

Rin stopped as she saw me, she recognized me, then ran to me to me with her arms wide open and tears in her eyes.

"Lady Nikko!" Rin shouted as I stood and ran towards her with my arms open wide to hug her. We met in the middle and hugged each other with tears forming in my eyes as I have missed her so much.

"Lady Nikko!...It so good to see you, I miss you so much!...even Jaken had missed you as well, Are you going to come with us?" Rin said as we let go of each other and walked towards the hut and sat down to talk.

"I have missed you as well...I might come with you but I'm not sure yet...but Rin...Why are you in this Village alone?...where is Sesshomaru and Jaken?" I said. "Lord Sesshomaru and Master Jaken had to go on a dangerous mission and it wouldn't be safe for me to be there with just Ah-Un, so Lord Sesshomaru dropped me here in this Village with Lady Kaede until he returns...which would be soon." She said as I absorbed the information she gave me, I nodded in understanding.

As I stood up from my spot, everyone came out of the hut and saw Rin with me. "Nikko, who is that with you?" Kagome said as she kneeled down to Rin's height to greet her, Rin hid behind me, not trusting strangers.

"Kagome this is Rin, the little girl I told you about." I said as I encourage Rin to come out and meet my friends. Rin peaks over me and lightly waves at everyone.

They smiled and waved back. "Why don't you go play with the other kids while I talk to my friends, I'll find you when I'm done." I said. She nodded as she hugged me and went to play with other children as I turned back to my friends."

"So...any news about Naraku or related to him?" I said. Kagome shook her head in sadness. "Not a peep." Kagome said.

"But there might be some disturbance in the far east from here and may take a few days or so reach there." Miroku said. "So...what's the point, if he's not there is no point on going on a wild goose chase." Inuyasha said with his arms crossed.

"Well, there might be jewel shards if we go, who knows." Kagome said as she knew how to get Inuyasha to do something. "If there is...I want to get them before he does and maybe he be there...Alright lets go!" Inuyasha said as he started moving in the east direction.

I started to move but then paused for a moment as I looked back and saw Rin playing with the children, I remembered what I said earlier to her. "Hey, guys wait a moment...I need to talk to Rin for moment." I said.

"You can tell her when we get back." Inuyasha said as he started walking. "Inuyasha..." Kagome said singingly. He stiffened as he knew what would happen next.

"Sit Boy!" Kagome said and at that moment he pummel to the ground. Kagome walked to me with a smile.

"Do what you need to do." She said. I smiled as I walked away from the hut and went to find Rin.

Not sure what to say to her, she would be heartbroken that I'd be leaving with my friends, but she may understand. It took a few minutes to spot Rin, I was going to call out her name when suddenly, she turns to the forest and I saw something that I didn't expect to see so soon...

It was Ah-Un, the two headed dragon, which meant Sesshomaru wasn't far behind. "Ah-Un!" Rin cried as she ran to the dragon.

A few seconds later, I felt his presence and my mind race with many thoughts on what to say or do, not sure. Then he appeared out from the forest, a couple of yards away from Ah-Un.

He still looked the same as the last time I saw him but had more armor on him. Then he saw Rin with Ah-Un and slowly he turned to the Village as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly, as if he knew where I was, he swiftly moved his head and sees me. I gasped as I stood there paralyzed by his gaze as he suddenly walks towards me.

My heart stopped for a moment then was beating a thousand miles per hour. The Village people saw him and were shocked by this, they slowly gathered at a distance as they saw him coming into the Village but he ignored them and continued to walk towards me.

I stood there as he was got closer to me. He stopped when he was only a foot away from me as he continued to stare into my eyes and I stared right back into his molten gold eyes.

We stood there for what felt like forever, nothing to say but expressed enough. Then the wind blew passed me into his direction.

He frowned for a moment, when suddenly he was in front of me. He was face to face with me, with his hands on my shoulders.

He leaned closer, as I thought he was going to kiss me but suddenly his face was at the nape of my neck. My face was beat red as I felt him breathe deeply into my neck and then he looked into my eyes with a dangerous look in his eyes.

I suddenly felt fear seeping through my body, unsure what will happen next. "Oh...My Gosh...Why does he looks like he's about to murder me?...What did I do?" I thought.

"Who touched you?" He said. I was surprised by that question, but was also confused...not sure what he's talking about. "What do you mean by that, no one has touched me." I said.

He growled as his grip on me was tighter but not enough to hurt but just as a warning. "Don't lie!... I can smell his scent on you." He said firmly as he was still looking at me.

I thought back to see who got close to me, then it hit me, the only one who was close was Miroku. I looked back at him to say something to keep the situation from escalating.

"Nikko!" Kagome shouted. She and the others were running towards us. The wind was blowing and Sesshomaru had lifted his head up to the air as if catching a scent.

When they close to us, Sesshomaru snaps his head directly at Miroku. I realized what might happen in the next couple of seconds.

So I gripped onto his kimono to keep him in place and not to after Miroku. "Sesshomaru...please lis-..." I didn't even finish my sentence as he left in a blur and my hands held nothing but instead of his kimono.
