Sesshomaru looked suspiciously at the small metal cylinder. There was no doubt that the woman would do nothing to hurt the child. The wench knew that he would avenge any pain caused to the girl with millions times the pain to the villain. But still, the liquid she had given to the Rin made him worry. It was something he had never seen before.

It was a purple liquid with bubbles rising to the top and popping there on the surface. It was encased in a thin layer of metal and the liquid came out of the "can" , as the woman had called it, through a small hole on the top that one made by pulling a small metal tab.

Rin had swallowed down the strange brew with much gusto. At first she had looked confused. "This is so strange Kagome. I thought it was supposed to taste like grapes."

"Well, artificial grape doesn't taste like actual grapes."

"Artificial?"

"Um" the woman looked somewhat nervous. "Well, it means that it's not real."

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow. Artificial? Not real? What was this that the woman had given Rin?

Rin rubbed her tummy. "Oh…I don't feel so well."

Sesshomaru shot a glare at Kagome. "What did you do to her. What was that stuff you gave her?"

InuYasha jumped to Kagomes rescue. Or perhaps he was looking for a reason to hurt Sesshomaru. "What? Do you think Kagome did something to Rin? 'Cus she didn't."

Rin began to look a little confused. "It's rummbly."

"So help my wench if you hurt her…"

"No. No, it's just. She just has to…"

"You leave Kagome alone. We don't want to hurt your little girl. Now why don't you leave, we don't want you here."

"How dare you! I was following her, you have no right to be rude to the child."

"Um…Sesshomaru."

"Not now Rin."

"But Sesshomaru-sama."

"Not now"

"But…" a loud belch could be heard ad far as a hundred yards from the camp. All eyes fell to a smiling Rin. "I feel much better; can I have another soda please?"
