"Her Spirit"
I was sitting on the edge of the river watching the sunset over the horizon as Ah-Un grazed on the hill above and Rin badgered Jaken with her constant singing and flower braiding. I chuckled slightly amused by her antics. As the sun almost set I called back to Jaken commanding him to set a fire and prepare dinner for Rin.

"Y-yes Milord!" Jaken cried in fear of defying me.

I felt a tug on my sleeve and glanced down at Rin who smiled her toothy smile and pointed towards the other side of the river.

"Will Kagome be joining us tonight?" She asked excitedly.

My heart skipped a beat as I looked over only just noticing her presence. It seemed she was alone and judging by the scent around her she has been alone for a few days at most. I nodded to Rin and she jumped with leaned slightly forward cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled for Kagome to join us for dinner. I watched as Kagome crossed the river on the stepping rocks trailing across and hugged Rin tightly. She smiled at me making my heart skip once again, but being a demon I hid the emotion through a cold mask and nodded slightly returning my gaze to the setting sun which was almost gone.

After dinner Kagome said she must be on her way. Rin pouted and begged her to stay for the night being it to dangerous to travel alone at night. Kagome looked at me for permission. I agreed by nodding again making her smile thankful for a night of comfort and safety.

She placed her blanket on the ground and Rin placed her blanket next to her happy for getting her way and glad for Kagome being there. They soon fell asleep along with Jaken and Ah-Un both tired from their long day of looking after Rin.

I stared at Kagome and noticed a slight change in her. She seemed sad and afraid. This made me worried and very protective of her. Ever since that day I can't seem to get her out of my head.

*Flashback*

"Lord Sesshomaru!" Kagome yelled.

I growled frustrated after the battle between that half-breed and I. Losing was not my style. I turned an icy glare towards her hoping it would scare her off, but of course she was no typical human.

She smiled at me taking me slightly by surprise. Most humans would run in fear but she stand her ground and acts like I am her friend.

"Lord Sesshomaru" She bowed as she reached me, "I want to apologize for Inuyashas' actions he can be immature at times but underneath he really is a good person."

"I have no interest in your apology nor my half-breed brothers immaturity." I growled.

She glared and stepped closer getting extremely close to my face, "Listen here Sesshomaru you are not intimidating to me, you have never been intimidating to me. I apologized and I expect you to accept it!"

My eyes grew wide with shock and amazement. No one has ever dared to treat me this way. I smiled inside immediately liking her spunk. She would make a great negotiator (more like 'do it or die'). I grabbed her by her shoulders and pulled her into the air testing her courage. She made no change to her anger and courage. I sighed and placed her gently back on the ground and turned to walk away, but not before thanking her for her apology. I glanced at her face once more and smiled at me and bowed before walking back towards the village.

'What a strange human.' I though before heading back to Rin and Jaken.

*End Flashback*
