Two New Companions

“Kagome, are you alright?” Sango said running up and embracing Kagome in a fierce hug.

“I'm fine”

“Did Sesshomaru hurt you!” Inuyasha yelled unsheathing his Tetsusaiga.

“No Inuyasha he saved me” Kagome looked over to her rescuer who was glaring at his brother with slightly narrowed eyes.

“He saved you!” he waved his sword back.

“Yes so don't start a fight!”

“Feh,” Inuyasha put Tetsusaiga back in its sheath. Meanwhile Sesshomaru was pondering to himself `its rather amusing to see the Miko have such power over Inuyasha.'

`She's beautiful, smart, and powerful too'

`Who are you'

`You conscious baka'

`I'm not a baka and she is most definitely not beautiful, smart, or powerful'

`Yeah, I'm sure you think so'

`I do now leave annoying baka'

`You know you just called yourself an idiot'

`Leave!'

`Fine, I'm going but remember what the more rational part of you said'

`Like I would fall for a human.'

“Sesshomaru-sama” Rin said tugging on his kimono, when Sesshomaru looked down she continued. “I really like Kagome, can she come stay with me at the castle?”

“Kagome's not going anywhere with the likes of you!” Inuyasha yelled after over hearing Rin.

“Hold your tongue when in the presence of Rin or I shall cut it out or your loud mouth, dear brother” Sesshomaru said, angered at the way Inuyasha yelled at his ward.

“I don't see why you care, she's only a human!”

“Leave Sesshomaru alone!” Rin yelled running up and kicking Inuyasha in the knee. Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kagome started laughing out loud at how Inuyasha looked after Rin kicked him for insulting Sesshomaru. Even he had grinned past his cold mask finding it rather amusing.

“Wipe that grin off your face Sesshomaru, or I'll do it for you!” Inuyasha said storming towards Sesshomaru.

“Inuyasha, sit boy!” Inuyasha came crashing to the ground getting a mouth full of dirt in the process.

“Rin I would love to come with you but I have to find the rest of the Shikon Jewel shards and I don't think Sesshomaru would want to take me to his castle” Kagome explained crouching down to the little girls height.

“Then can Rin come with Kagome?” Rin asked hopefully. She wanted Kagome to stay with her; even to be her mother since she was nice to her unlike Jaken.

“I don't believe Sesshomaru would want you to,” Rin turned facing her surrogate father.

“Please can I stay with Kagome?” Rin gave him her best sad puppy face knowing that he would fall for it.

“We will just be in the way Rin” Sesshomaru spoke hating it when she made that sad face.

“Actually we could probely use the extra help since there are fewer Jewel shards” Kagome said while looking into Sesshomaru's cold golden eyes.

“Please, please, please Sesshomaru-sama!”

“Fine, but for only a few days” he reluctantly agreed.

“Thank you Sesshomaru-sama!” Rin ran up to him taking his legs in a death grip then back over to Kagome.

“What, there's no way Sesshomaru is coming with us!” Inuyasha yelled not wanting his pompous arrogant brother around him.

“He can if he wants too, Inuyasha quit being a jerk for once,” Kagome said annoyed at him even more.

“So you're taking his side, wench!”

“Inuyasha, don't say those things when Rin is around”

“I will if I want too”

“Sit boy!” Inuyasha once again came plummeting to the ground getting another mouthful of dirt. The evening began fading into night as the group of demons and humans set up camp on the outskirts of the forest. After dinner, which Sesshomaru refused, everyone bedded down to sleep. Kagome was the last one to lay down as she scanned over her friends. Shippo was curled up next to Rin instead of next to her like he usually did. Sango and Miroku were about two feet apart from each other but the Monk kept reaching his hand towards the sleeping Taiya. Kagome knew that they cared for each other more than they were willing to admit. Kilala was curled up along side Sango where she slept every night. She then turned to look at Inuyasha who was up in a tree leaning against the trunk, asleep and snoring lightly. Then there was Sesshomaru who was sitting up against another tree with one of his legs propped up and the other lying flat on the ground. He was breathing lightly where you couldn't hear him but could see his chest rising and falling in a rymthic pattern. She shuddered as she looked at his long silver hair framing his face.

“Are you going to stare at me all night woman.” Kagome jumped at the sound of his masculine voice and watched as he opened his eyes with a slight grin on his lips.
