OMG. Sorry about the typo. *facepalm* I fixed it here, and will go back and fix it in early chapters. Thanks!
　

　

　

　

　

　

�Who am I, you ask? I am Lord Sesshomaru. And I will do as I please.� All I can do is stare, stunned, as he looks back from the doorway, grin gone and his apathetic face back in place. �Tomorrow we leave for Zenaku. I�ve deemed you acceptable.�
　

　

　

　

　

　

I�m sitting around the fire, cooking my catch and still stewing over what that arrogant asshole said when Ah-Un drops from the night�s sky. Rin slides off the huge scaly back and sits next to me.

�So Kagome, did it go well?� She automaticly takes over the dinner, turning the meat.

�Well, it went fine�� I try not to make eye contact, in case she sees I�m lying. All and all, it really did go ok. He said I as acceptable. That has to be good.

�What about your skills? Does My Lord approve?�

�I guess. He said we are going after Zenaku tomorrow.� Her jaw drops, and she stares blankly at me for a second before regaining her wits.

�Oh, that�s great! I was hoping for this. This needs to happen quickly.�

I grab a long stick and start poking at the ambers, losing my thoughts in the dancing flames. This is all happening so fast. Almost too fast. I do want to revenge Inuyasha, and help the youkais, but am I really ready? I�m not completely healed yet, and haven�t been in a real battle for years. Now I�m expected to help take on a monster that is so powerful that even Sesshomaru can�t defeat it. Is this wise?

�Rin, do you think I can do this? I mean I really did barely pass his little tests. What if I mess it up when it�s for real? What if I can�t do it?� I push over a log and little sparks fly into the air, crackling. It�s intoxicating.

�I find it best not to question the word of Lord Sesshomaru.� Great, that�s not really helpful advice. �Just do as you�re told.� This coming from the girl that followed him to the pits of hell. Not sure if I can have such blind devotion to a man that MAYBE was going to kill me today.

�If My Lord decided to place such faith in your skills, you should too. Even if you didn�t make each shot perfect today, he must really believe that your arrows will strike true when it�s time. You must have impress him if he�s willing to fight with you along side him.�

It�s my turn to stare at her slack-jawed. Okay, that actually made me feel better. Does Sesshomaru really think I won�t let him down when it really counts? If he does, I won�t try to prove him wrong. I will succeed.

�Where is My Lord anyways?� Rin looks around, scanning the surrounding forest.

�Oh, he went into the house when we got back. That was like an hour ago. Maybe he�s sleeping?�

�He probably is. I guess it will be the two of us sleeping outside tonight.� She shrugs and kicks her sandals off.

�Um, not to pry, but aren�t you going to stay with him?� I haven�t quite figured out the relationship between the two of them. Now�s a good of time as any to find out. �You are together right? Romantically?�

�What? No. Why would you think that?�

�Sorry, I guess I jumped to conclusions. He�s just so protective and nice to you. And the way you look at him� Your eyes light up. And well, you guys have been traveling together for so long, I thought there might be something��

�My Lord is my father. He never touched my in any way other then a father should. He raised me. He clothed, fed, taught, and protected me. If my eyes light up when I see him, it�s only because My Lord is so perfect I cannot help but be in awe.� I mental cuss myself out as her eyes start to swell, threatening tears.

�Oh please Rin, don�t cry. I�m sorry. I really am. Please don�t be mad.� I lay an arm around her, trying to calm her, but she shakes her head �no� and brushes it off.

�Don�t. Please, just give me a moment. I�m fine. I don�t mean to get so worked up. Please tend to the dinner.� She gets up and leaves, heading into the hut.

Oh shit, Sesshomaru�s going to be pissed now. I wait, expecting him to come out and rip me a new one, but he doesn�t. Everything�s quiet.

Not sure what I should do, I finish cooking and set up the plates. I leave a rabbit and a duck on a plate next to the fire, so Rin can choose when she comes back. I throw the crispy lizard to Ah-Un, which after some cautious sniffing, he does eat, and then slowly nibble on my duck.

The guilt of making Rin cry keeps me from enjoying my meal. Or maybe it�s the fact that I burned it. Either way, I end up giving half the bird to the dragon. Separating the left-overs into two equals parts, and give some to each head. Not sure if I need to do that, but they�re both giving me the dragon version of puppy-eyes, so I play it safe.

I pull out a blanket from the beast�s pack and curl up next to the fire, covering my face from the world, and fall asleep.

**************
I awaken when someone plops down next to me and starts eating. Rin must�ve come back out. I stay quiet not want wanting to disturb her, and wait for her to finish before crawling out from under the blanket.

The eyes I see staring back at me put in into stock. Not the deep brown eye�s of Rin, but golden ones. And not the narrow, arrogant, emotionless, scary eyes of Sesshomaru. But the wide, feeling filled, hopefully, and somewhat hurt eyes of my love.

�Inuyasha!� In lighting fast speed I jump up and fling my arms around him, burying my face in his shoulder and hugging him tightly. �Where have you been? I couldn�t find you anywhere.�

He pulls me back and smiles gently, �I�m so sorry Kagome. I didn�t mean to make you worry. But we don�t have much time. I still need you to come find me.�

Find him? But his right here. Oh no, please don�t let this be another dream. No, this is too real to be a just a dream. Somehow he is trying to reach me in my sleep. Now I�m sure of it. He�s alive and he needs my help.

�Where are you Inuyasha? I don�t know where to look. Tell me how to help you.�

�I don�t know, but Sesshomaru does.� He brushes the stay hair from my face to behind my ear and his warm hand cups my cheek. �Follow him.�

�Miko.� Sesshomaru�s voice pulls me back to reality. My eyes shot open and I jump up, franticly searching the camp site for Inuyasha, but he�s gone. Once that fact is painfully realized I turn my attentions to Sesshomaru. He�s standing within a foot of me, dressed for sleep without his armor or his fluffy white pelt. His long silver hair sways gentle in the light breeze, and a look on curiosity planted over his normally bored expression.

I grab onto his kimono and start hysterically babbling. �Did you see him? He was here. You know where he�s at. Please tell me. We have to go to him.�

�Let go.� I don�t, instead grip harder, fisting the silk fabric.

�Please tell me. He said you know. He needs our help. Why won�t you help him. He�s you brother and he�s trap. He needs us!�

�I can�t help him because he is no longer in this world! He is dead! Not you, nor I can change that!� He unleashes his youkai and I recoil, letting go of him, and falling backwards, curling up in a protect ball and wait for the strong aura to retract. His youkai is so strong that being flooded with it literally make is ill. My head spins and I feel nauseous, doing my best to choke through the raising bile.

The air clears as he pulls back. I barely raise my head in time to see him take to the dark sky, soaring away into the trees.

I crawl back to my bed, eyeing the dying embers of the fire, and taking notice of the missing rabbit from the plate. He was here, I just know it. Inuyasha needs me. I�ve got to find him.
　

　

****************************************
　

The morning sun warming my body stirs me awake. Ah-Un is grazing on grass, his packs now completely full, they must have packed up while I slept. Rin�s sitting next to me, making tea.

I do a quick search, looking for Sesshomaru, but he�s no where to be seen. I should apologize to him for last night, if that even happened to began with.

I am not even sure what�s a dream or reality anymore. I really want to believe it�s real and that Inuyasha is not really dead but instead, alive somewhere and waiting for me. But how much is real, and how much is the insane grasps at hope from a diluted girl? Have I really gone for far as to imagine him alive and contacting me in my dreams? Does sound impossible when I think about it with a clear head.

Sitting up I turn and see the steam rising from the back of the hut, the bath house. Someone�s set the fire and warmed the water up.

�It�s your turn whenever your ready. I�ve already bathed.� Rin passes me over a cup of tea. Her eyes look sad and she offers a weak smile. She just looks so tired.

�Thank you.� I hold the warm cup in my hand, I take in a deep breath of the blissful aroma. �Rin, I�m sorry about yesterday. I didn�t mean to upset you. Will you forgive me?�

�Don�t worry about it. It�s not your fault.� She dumps the tea kettle out and puts it in a back pack sized sack, then ties it shut. �Hurry up and bathe. We leave as soon as Lord Sesshomaru returns.�

�Oh, sorry.� I roll up my blanket and put it back into the pouch I got it from. I pat Ah-Un gently on his back, and without looking back at her, I ask Rin, �Where is he? Sesshomaru, I mean. Where did he go, and when?� If last night really happened, then Sesshomaru would have left sometime in the middle of the night. And if that really happened, then maybe, so did the rest of it.

�He left at dawn. I don�t know where he left, but he said he�d be back soon.� And almost as if on queue, Sesshomaru steps out from the trees. He comes up beside me and checks the load the dragons carrying, making sure it�s secured tightly.

�Sesshomaru, I�� Bashfully I look up at the emotionless face of the diayoukai. Damn, I feel like an idiot. How am I going to make this better? For whatever reasons my be, I know he doesn�t like speaking about Inuyasha, but I keep mention it. Not only that, but I accused him of lying, again. As much as I hate to admit it, I owe him a lot. This is not a good way to replay him.

�Miko.� He turns to me, looking at me with a softness I�ve only seen when he speaks with Rin, and my heart skips a beat. �Prepare yourself. It�s time.�
