[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

FL: "So did you like the last chapter, Fluffy?"

Sess: "You made me seem like I had an icicle permanately stuck up my-"

FL: slaps hand over Sessy's mouth. "Watch your mouth! You never know who will be reading this! You wouldn't want Rin talking like that so don't teach those words to others."

Sess: hangs head low in shame. "Sorry, I forgot myself there." looks Fluffy's Lady in the eyes. "I promise to watch myself and my mouth."

FL: smiles sweetly. "Now will you please say the disclaimer?"

Sess: "Fluffy's Lady does not own Inuyasha or anything related to it. No matter how hard she dreams otherwise. She only owns the characters that she created in one of her moments of sheer insanity. Please enjoy Chapter 3."

FL: shocked at what Sesshomaru said. "That is so mean, Fluffy! I am not insane! Dear readers, I will send you off to the next chapter while I deal with my pet dog here!" glares at Sesshomaru who is stuck between running in fear or engaging in a name-calling competition.

“Yes!” Rin shouted with glee.

“What?” came a chorus of voices, including Jaken.

“Wait a minute, Sesshomaru! Get back here! What makes you thing that we’ll travel with you?” Dilynn asked.

“We don’t even live here! We’re not from this time. So what makes you think we’ll stay?” Casey asked boldly.

Sesshomaru turned around. Not from this time? Just like his brother’s woman.

“You will travel with me to protect Rin,” he stated again.

“But, Milord! Aren’t I enough protection for the child?” Jaken asked, a little insulted. Honestly, what could those humans do that he couldn’t.

“Don’t you want to stay with me?” Rin asked, her lower lip quivering and tears welling up in her eyes.

Dilynn sighed, she seemed to be doing that a lot lately. “Of course we want to stay with you, Rin. But we don’t live here, we aren’t from this time. We have families and responsibilities on the other side. You see why we can’t stay don’t you?”

Rin tilted her head to the side, “Not from this time? You mean like Kagome-chan?”

“Who?” Kari asked.

“Kagome-chan, Lord Sesshomaru’s half-brother’s bi–” Rin started before Sesshomaru clamped a hand over her mouth.

“Rin, you don’t always need to repeat everything Jaken says,” he stated. Dilynn thought he seemed slightly embarrassed. But it left his face too quickly for her to tell.

“Really? There are other time travelers? Do they live here full time or do they go back and forth?” Casey asked.

“She goes through a well to get back to her home and only Master Inuyasha can follow her there,” Rin explained.

“Sesshomaru, is this true?” Dilynn asked hopefully. If it was then it would be possible for them to do the same.

Sesshomaru gave the very slightest of shrugs. “I don’t know. I don’t pry into the hanyou’s life,” he said coldly.

Ouch! Dilynn, Kari, and Casey-even the dogs flinched simultaneously. There’s certainly no love lost between the two. I wonder what happened? Dilynn thought.

Rin looked around the clearing, noticing something. “Lord Sesshomaru, where is Ah-Un?” she asked seriously.

“I sent him off in the other direction to look for you when I couldn’t find your scent. He should be back soon,” Sesshomaru said comfortingly.

“Ok!” Rin piped cheerfully.

“Back to the subject at hand,” Casey said. “Is there really a girl who travels between times?”

“If so…then we could do the same!” the three girls cried the last part of the sentence together. To celebrate their little victory, they gave each other high-fives and hugs before dragging Annie and Valentine onto their hind legs to dance around the clearing with them.

Sesshomaru silently felt sorry the dogs. “So,” he said, “will you travel with me?”

“We would love to; the only problem now is our parents. I don’t know if they would allow it. School is out for the summer but they can be really over-protective. Maybe it would help if you came and explained why we would be traveling with you?” Dilynn asked hopefully.

“Why would it make a difference in whether or not you traveled with me if I met your parents? I have said you will travel with me and you have agreed. Where do your parents come in?” Sesshomaru asked.

“We aren’t living on our own yet so we still need their permission to do some things. Like travel through time and space to be with you and Rin,” Kari explained.

“So will you come and explain what we’d be doing here?” Casey asked pleadingly. “Pleeeeaaaassssse!”

When did I become so soft? He thought. This must be Rin’s doing. I might as well go, it is so hard to find good help these days and they do a lot better than “froggy-boy” when it comes to protecting Rin. “Very well,” he said aloud. “How do I get to your home?”

Dilynn looked around, trying to find the cave they came through. She spotted it on the far side of the clearing. The ogre’s body lay nearby.

“Right through there,” she pointed towards the cave.

“You live in a cave?” Rin asked, confused.

“No, we live on the other side of the cave. I think anyway,” Dilynn muttered.

“You think?” Sesshomaru questioned.

“Well, you see, we walked through a door in part of our home and found ourselves in the cave. We came out and that was when we spotted Rin and the…ogre,” Dilynn replied.

“Hmph,” Sesshomaru said noncommittally.

“Well, are we going to try this or not?” Kari asked, clearly ready to go back to her own time.

“Let’s give it a shot,” Casey said.

Sesshomaru told Jaken to watch out for Rin while he was gone and followed the girls and dogs into the cave.

“I sure hope this works,” Dilynn murmured as they walked down the cave. She didn’t know Sesshomaru could hear her clearly.

Suddenly a bright light enveloped the group and the found themselves–Demon and dogs included–back in Dilynn’s garage.

“Yes!” “It worked!” “We’re home!” the three cried at once, hugging each other franticly. Sesshomaru just stood there sniffing the air and hearing the noises the girls couldn’t.
