Oh my gosh guys! Thanks so much for the reviews! I've read and appreciated each one of them! You guys had some great suggestions! The beginning of this chapter is in Rin's point of view so we'll get some RinxSesshy action, and then it switches back to Kagome's point of view. Enjoy!
Rin was out in the herb field, picking out some medical ingredients that Kaede had asked her too. She hummed while she cut each herb carefully with her small knife and placed them in her basket. She wiped a bead of sweat off her forehead and looked up at the sky. The sun was going down and Kaede had said to be back before dark. She quickly started cutting the remainder of the herbs she needed. She glanced up at the sky again. She needed to hurry, the dark was no place for a small human girl. A sharp pain pulled her out of her thoughts. She stared at her hand. The knife had cut the palm open all the way across.
"Darn it." she mumbled under her breath.
She quickly pressed the end of her kimono to it and applied as much pressure as she could.
"Hnn. So careless."
She gasped and stared up at Sesshomaru's tall figure. He was looking down at her with an empty expression as usual. His silky silver hair floated in the wind. She blushed from embarrassment.
"I know my lord." she whispered.
"Rise."
She slowly stood up in front of Sesshomaru and stared down at her feet. He grabbed her wrist with a gentleness that surprised her and turned her hand. It was still bleeding profusely. He slowly leaned down and licked the whole length of the wound. She gasped and stared at him with wide eyes. To her surprise the bleeding started to slow slightly. He grabbed the end of her kimono and tore a strip off. She watched him work with such delicate hand motions for a demon.
"Now let's go I'll walk you back."
She starred down at her wrapped hand then nodded.

"Are you sure you guys can handle it?" Sango said frantically.
"Sure guys! Inuyasha and I can watch them for a few hours!" Kagome exclaimed.
Inuyasha groaned as the twins sat on his shoulder and pulled at his ears.
"See, everything will be fine Sango! Let's go have a relaxing night." Miroku said encouragingly.
Kagome cradled sleeping baby Misao.
"Yeah we got this! Go have fun!"
Sango looked at her children carefully.
"Well… alright. We'll be back in a few hours."
She shooed them out the door.
"Bye guys! Have fun!"
"Now what'd you go and do that for!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"SSSHH!"
She sat Misao down on the mattress carefully.
"Do what?" she whispered.
Inuyasha sat down on the ground with the twins still crawling all over him.
"What'd you go and volunteer us for babysitting for?" he exclaimed.
"I said be quiet! And they could use a night out. It's not going to kill us to do them a favor."
"Keh! It might kill me if they don't cut out this ear pulling!"
"Girls." she whispered
Both the girls looked at her giggling.
"Can you not pull on the doggy's ears? He doesn't like that."
Inuyasha's mouth fell open
"Yes lady Kagome!" they said in sync.
Inuyasha stood up with the girls clapping and giggling at his heels.
"Did you just say dog!?" he screamed.
"Well they always call you doggy anyway! Your names to hard for them to say!" she exclaimed.
He leaned in closer to her face. She tried angrily pushing him back. He didn't budge. Here we go she said to herself.
"That don't mean you gotta call me it!" he screamed.
Misao started crying. She smacked her forehead.
"You woke him up thank you!"
She cradled Misao and rocked him.
"I'm so sorry baby! Inuyasha is a big fat meanie head! He woke you up didn't he! Aww, you poor thing!" she crooned.
Inuyasha plopped down with his legs crossed. His eyes were closed and his ear was twitching, you could practically see the steam roll of him. She giggled and set Misao back down, he was already back to sleep. The girls were leaning on each other and yawning. They were just to cute. A spitting image of their mother. She picked the girls up and tucked them in next to their brother.
"Inuyasha and I will be right here if you need anything." she whispered.
"Lady Kagome?" Mina whispered
"Yes Mina?"
"Mai and I love you and Inuyasha with all our hearts."
She felt a tear spring to her eye and smiled.
"We love you both too. Now go to sleep." She kissed them both on the forehead.
Kagome quietly crept over and sat next to Inuyasha on the floor. His face looked peaceful and beautiful. She swore she could see a small smile on his face. She loved when he looked like this.
She sighed.
"I'm sorry Inuyasha." she whispered and laid her head on his shoulder.
He sighed.
"No, I'm sorry. I over reacted. You taught me a lot about understanding people. But I still react like I used to sometimes." he whispered.
She giggled.
"No I like that about you. Don't change."
He planted a small kiss on her lips and mumbled under his breath.
"Sure. Anything for you."
What'd you guys think? Review please! In the up coming chapters there's going to be some drama! Until next time, bye guys!
