~Sesshoumaru's Castle~

Sesshoumaru was in his study like he has been doing alot since that day the miko was bringing his ward back to him. He was finishing up with the daily documents when the door of his study opened up and the sound of his wards feet were coming over to him.

"Sesshoumaru-sama! Rin's come to say good night." Rin gave Sesshoumaru a hug then at his desk, and saw the pretty tin that Kagome gave him. She reached out and picked it up and opened it, and saw that the brownies and chocolate covered fruit was still there and has not been touched. "Sesshoumaru-sama has not eaten his gift Kagome-chan has given him. You always tell Rin to eat her food. Sesshoumaru-sama always says to eat or try the food given me by others because it shows respect." Rin held out the tin to Sesshoumaru. "Rin likes Kagome-chan and Kagome-chan likes Rin. Kagome-chan makes tasty brown bars and fruit. If you don't eat or try to eat them that shows that you don't respect her." Rin placed the tin on the desk in front of him still open as she gave him another hug and left the study and went to her chamber to go to sleep.

Sesshoumaru watched as his ward left his study. He let a smile grace his face as he thought "My ward thinks to correct me with such innocents." He chuckled. He then looked down at the tin that his ward left open. He reached out and picked up one of the brownies and brought it up to his nose and sniffed it to see if by any chance there was any poison in his. He sense of smell not detecting any so he brought the brownie to his mouth and took a small bite. Not making any emotions on his face he placed the rest of the brownie he took a bite from in his mouth. Then picked one of the chocolate covered fruit and put it in his mouth. "The human wench of my half brother astonishes me." He said as he took another brownie out and brought it to his mouth but before he managed to put it into his mouth Jaken came running in.

"M-my L-lord!" Jaken squealed.

"What is it?" Sesshoumaru put the brownie back down.

"It's your ward, her servant my lord, can't find Rin anywhere." Jaken squealed again.

"If her servant would check my wards chamber she would find the child asleep! And Jaken be sure to tell her servant she's to pay closer attention to my ward and less attention the stable servant and the gardener or she will be replaced and she will forfeit her life! Is that all Jaken?" Sesshoumaru waited for a answer.

"Yes, my lord." Jaken bowed and left the study.

"I will retire into my chamber." Sesshoumaru said to himself as he picked up the lid to the tin to put it back on but before doing so he took two more brownies out then put the lid back on then walked to his study door and opened it then walked out shutting the door then walked to his chamber. Sesshoumaru just ate the two brownies that he took to his room and closed his eyes to rest when there was a loud knock at his chamber door.

"ENTER!" He said as he sat up on his futon. He watched as one of his guards came in and bowed.

"Sorry for disturbing you, my lord but your ward was rushed to her chamber. Apparently your ward sleep walked from her chamber's heading what looked like to the garden but did not make it. She fell into the stream missing the bridge going over it. She is now back in her chamber. Her servant is drying her off and trying to get her warmed up." His guard finished saying.

"Thank you! Inform her servant I'll join them in the child's chamber in a moment. You are dismissed." Sesshoumaru said. The guard bowed and left. Sesshoumaru pushed the silk sheets back and stood up and pulled his inner hakama and haori on and walked out of his chamber and down to his ward's chamber. Once there he opened the door and walked in and over to the futon which now the child was once more laying in. He knelt down on one knee and smoothed the child's hair out of her face. Then reached down picking up the child's hand and held it in his.

"How is the child?" Sesshoumaru spoke not taking his eyes off of Rin.

"She seems fine! There's no wounds and no broken bones." Her servant said.

"Keep a eye open and any change report to me!" He said as he placed the child's hand back under the warm blankets then stood up and walked to the door and opened it and walked out shutting it then headed back to his chamber. Getting to his chamber he walked in shutting the door and went to his futon and laid down not taking off his inner haori and hakama in case he's was summoned.

~Inuyasha's Group~

Everyone was sound asleep except Kagome because she was laying there with her flashlight studying her zoology book since she would be needing to head back to her era in a few days to take her exams. "I'm going to have to tell Inuyasha I've got to head to the well in a few days. Boy that's going to be real fun." She thought as she continued to study. She laid there studying so much she fell asleep with her face on her book and her flashlight still on and was like that when everyone woke up and found her like that.

"It must be hard for Kagome to come here to this era traveling looking for the shards all the time and staying up most nights to study and do that day in and day out then going to her era and take those exams." Miroku rubbed his head as he watched Shippou wake up and yawn.

"Well, we better wake her up before Inuyasha gets angry that she's still asleep and breakfast is not done." Sango walked over to Kagome and knelt and shook her gently "Kagome, it's time to wake up and get breakfast ready." Sango spoke quietly.

"It's morning, so soon?" Kagome slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. She leaned over and pulled her yellow bag closer to her and reached in and pulled the cooking pot out "Miroku, would you please get some water for me please?"

"Sure, Kagome." Miroku walked over and took the pot and went to get the water, and came back with it. "Here you are, Kagome! Now that I helped would you be so kind to bare my child? Miroku asked jokingly as he put the pot on the fire. Just before a loud 'Thud" was heard and a then a knocked out monk hit the ground. Kagome pulled out the instant cereal and put some in each bowl and waited for the water to boil. When the water was boiling she took the pot and poured some in each bowl and mixed it up and gave it to everyone.

"What do you call this, Kagome?" Shippou looked at it.

"It's called instant oatmeal. I eat this when I'm in a hurry in my era!" Kagome took a spoonful and put it into her mouth.

"Hey wench, where's the ramen?" Inuyasha said as he came over to eat.

"First off Inuyasha, you know my name very well and it sure is not WENCH! Second, I'm trying something new instead of having ramen for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Third you don't have to eat it if you don't want to. But know this I'm not making anything else till lunch time and that means no ramen till then, and fourth I have to return to my era in three days because I have to take more exams." She took another bite.

"Whatever, wench. Then I'll wait till lunch to eat. Who says we'll be heading towards the hut by then? You're always running off to your era and not hunting shards. The shards are your duty to collect and put the jewel back together, you know." Inuyasha raised his voice and looked at Kikyo.

"Well, I'm SORRY that I have another duty in my era that I have to do as well as looking for shards here in this era. Kaede knows of this and sees nothing wrong with it. In a few days, I'll be heading back to my era regardless whether or not were heading towards the village or not." With that she finished her breakfast and collected the bowls. Then picked up the bowls again and cooking pot and spoons and went to wash them then returned. After everything was packed they were off.

Three days had passed and they had collected six more shards which Kagome had added to the bottle around he neck. They were now on their way back to the village. They were almost there so Inuyasha and Kikyo headed to the village and Sango had Kirara flew to the well to drop Kagome off. When they landed Kagome got off Kirara and placed Shippou in front of Sango.

"Sango, please make sure Inuyasha does not get into that other bag with the supplies of ramen. If you have to Miroku put sutra's on the bag to keep him out at all cost. Shippou, be good and I'll be back in two days." Kagome grabbed her yellow bag put it over one shoulder as she put her quiver of arrows and bow over her other shoulder. Then walked to the well and climbed up and jumped in unaware of golden eyes watching her jump into the well. "I'll be back as well." The voice said as the pair golden eyes left and headed west.

The two days that she spent in her era she had taken tests and got 4 A's, and this time 2 B's which were in both zoology and biology. While in her era she took out somethings that she bought for breakfast. She was happy to find out that she would not have to study for any up coming test since the students were going to have to summer vacation until september and this was the last week in July. So she was going to leave all her school books home.

Now, she was standing in the well house with her mother, Souta, and her Grandfather. They came out with her to say their good-bye's and watch her jump into the well. By the time she showed up Kaede would be getting things ready to cook.

"Good-bye, my dear. We'll see you again soon I hope." Her mother gave her a hug.

"Sis, be sure to tell Inuyasha hello for me." Souta hugged his sister.

"Alright, I will." She said as she climbed onto the well and jumped in. When she landed on the ground in the feudal era she heard loud noises up above her. She stood up and adjusted her yellow bag and walked over to the vine and started climbing up. Kagome climbed out of the bone eater's well and walked over to stand by Miroku and Sango.

"Kagome!" Shippou cried out jumping on her shoulder.

"Ah, what's going on?" Kagome was puzzled.

"They have been fighting like this since mid-day just after lunch. We can't get them to stop." Sango said.

"We don't know why Sesshoumaru is here. Inuyasha, did not give him a chance to say." Miroku stated.

"More then likely he's here to try getting the sword again. Well some how we got to get them to stop fighting if all else I'll use the command for the necklace." She stepped a little forward and yelled out "STOP ALREADY. INUYASHA!" Kagome seeing that Inuyasha nor Sesshoumaru was going to stop so Kagome yelled again but this time saying "INUYASHA, SIT BOY!" At seeing Inuyasha plunged to the ground and Sesshoumaru had stopped where he was when Inuyasha went to the ground. Kagome, Sango, Miroku with Shippou on his shoulder and Kirara in her battle form came and stood between the brothers. Kagome eyed over the brothers to see there was nothing to serious just deep gashes from claws, poison whip, and swords.

"Wench, why did you do that for?" Inuyasha yelled as he moved forward towards his half brother again as Miroku with Shippou on his shoulder, and Sango was doing their best to hold him back. Kagome seeing him coming forward again said "SIT" Then turned to see Sesshoumaru taking steps forwards as well.

"Sesshoumaru, DON'T come any nearer!" Kagome said as she drew her bow and notched a arrow aiming at his chest. "Now, somebody tell what's going on!" Kagome said as she looked from one brother to the other. Sesshoumaru stood their as cold as ever with his emotionless face and Inuyasha peeled himself off the ground.

"My ward is sick and won't let any my servants heal her like she would. She requests you to be there in my castle to see you before the servants can heal her." Sesshoumaru turned from looking at the miko to the now laughing trio known as Miroku, Sango, his half brother and glared at them. Kagome lowered her bow and returned her arrow back to her quiver at hearing about Rin.

"Sango, can I borrow Kirara please?" She looked at Sango then turned back to Sesshoumaru and looked at him.

"Sure anytime, Kagome." Sango answered.

"You are NOT going anywhere with my half brother!" Inuyasha bit out. Kagome turned and looked at Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha, I'm going! Rin's a little child. Anyway, why should I explain to you!" Then looked back at Sesshoumaru "Sesshoumaru I'll ride Kirara to your castle so you don't have to worry about carrying this human and after Rin is healed I will leave your castle." She turned to Sango "Kirara" Kirara jumped down from Sango's shoulder and transformed into her larger self then she walked up to the fire cat. With Sango walking up to her.

"Kagome-chan, are you sure you can trust Sesshoumaru? I mean look at all the times he's tried to kill you or Inuyasha!" Sango had the look of fear in her eyes.

"No, I'm not sure Sango but I don't think Sesshoumaru would wound his honor by asking for help like this to turn around and kill me. But what do I know when it comes to him. Anyway we've got to go. Oh Sango could you or Miroku take my yellow bag to Kaede's for me? I'll take my bow and quiver of arrows though." Kagome slide the yellow bag off and handed it to Sango.

"Sure, Kagome." Sango watched as Kagome was about to get on Kirara when a flash of white came over to them and Kagome was now standing in front of Sesshoumaru.

"The Youkai Exterminator can keep the fire cat here. It would be faster to travel like this." Sesshoumaru said as his youkai cloud formed underneath him and Kagome and then were off. Sango, Miroku, and Shippou were still looking in the direction Sesshoumaru and Kagome traveled when Inuyasha spoke up.

"Hey, where's Kikyo? Has anyone seen Kikyo anywhere?" Inuyasha looked around them.

"I have not seen her since we left Kaede's hut around mid-day." Miroku noted.

"I have not seen her, either." Sango said.

"She probably went to the village she helps out that she told me about." Inuyasha said.

"Or went to see Naraku!" Shippou whispered out.

"What was that, you runt?" Inuyasha growled.

"Eeep nothing. I didn't say anything." Shippou said hiding behind Miroku's head.

"We might as well head back to the village to wait for both Kikyo and Kagome." Sango turned towards the village.

~A Good Distance Away~

A good distance away so Inuyasha could not detect her Kikyo was standing by a tree facing the shadows that the trees were creating talking to someone.

"It's good to see you again, Kikyo. I almost thought you forgot to contact me. So what have you managed to find out?" The voice said.

"I am still finding out stuff. But they have collected around seven more shards and added them to the ones my little reincarnation wears around her neck. As for the strengths and weaknesses for the hanyou Inuyasha his is also his weakness. Being as with my reincarnation and myself around he fights great with hardly any problems but if you take myself of Kagome out of the picture he fights as if he's a puppy. He does not fight well. As for as the strengths for my reincarnation is the way she raised, her family and her friends. As for her weaknesses seeing her friends hurt, but the biggest down fall for her is the kitsune pup named Shippou. He's like her child that and the new add on is the child Rin who's Lord Sesshoumaru's ward. The strength and weakness of the kitsune is Kagome because he treats her like a mother. As far as the strength of the monk, that is his friends but his weakness is women. As for the youkai exterminator her weakness is her little brother Kohaku whom you have and the fire cat that travels with her. As for the loyalty between the hanyou and Kagome there is starting to be a wedge that is coming between them that I have started. Because they are starting to not be as close as they were but he will still protect her as he has but I'm still working on that." Kikyo told Naraku.

"Very good, keep up the great work and report back when you have found out more." With that Naraku left and Kikyo turned and walked back towards Kaede's village.
