Walking along!!!

[Bankotsu]

Sesshoumaru thought that if she was telling the truth, Inuyasha wouldn't know about it and he wouldn't be a burden. He liked the idea that it would be easy to find him if he was just in the eastern lands.

"Eastern Lands you say?" he said "Rin... Jaken lets go."

He started to walk.

[Kijiri]

She frowned. "Wait a moment, Sesshoumaru." She watched him stop in mid pace. "Please, allow me to come with you."

[Bankotsu]

Sesshoumaru glaced back at Mew. He had hoped that she could fight and defend herself. He wasn't about to defend another person.

"Can you fight and defend yourself?"

[Kijiri]

She walked up beside him. "Of course, but I need to go there anyway. Why can't we join forces for the time being?" She looked over at the human child then back to Sesshoumaru. "I wont harm your human, if thats what your thinking."

[Bankotsu]

Sesshoumaru looked over at Mew. He may need some help defeating Naraku. He didn't know how much help she could be but he was willing to try.

"An alliance then." he said "Lets proceed."

He started to walk toward the Eastern Lands.

[Kijiri]

Smiling her thanks, she stepped back and walked along side Rin. She looked down at the human girl, then over to the pouting toad-man. She giggled, 'What an odd group of travelers'

[Bankotsu]

He stopped and then glanced back over at Mew. He had not heard any rumors and wasn't sure if she was telling the truth or not.

"Mew, you must lead the way."

[Kijiri]

She looked over at him and began to wonder if he suspected her earlier statement. Walking ahead of him, she said gruffly, "Fine" and began to lead through the dense trails and trees.

[Bankotsu]

Jaken said "Can we really trust her?" Sesshoumaru didn't awnser Jakens question. Sesshoumaru wasn't really sure that he could trust her. It was the closest link that he had to Naraku.

[Kijiri]

Sighing, she continued to talk, feeling as if someone was shooting invisible daggers at the back of her head. Looking up, she had finally noticed how dark it had gotten, they must have travelled for some time. Stopping, she turned to the Inu-Youkai. "I believe we should stop for the night. This part of the land is dangerous to walk in, espacially at night."

[Bankotsu]

Sesshoumaru had thought it was getting late and Mew had a good idea to stop and continue tomorrow. Rin was already sleeping on the back of Sesshoumaru's animal companion. Jaken looked as if he was pretty tired also. Sesshoumaru had stopped because Mew stopped. Rin had woken up and said "Lord Sesshoumaru, why have we stopped?"

"Rin go back to sleep." he said

"We rest here for the night."

[Kijiri]

Lying in a tree, she looked down a the three. Rin was lying near Sesshomaru but beside the snoozing Jaken. Golden ember eyes looked up into her blue ones, causing her to turn her head, face red in embrassment, having been caught staring.

[Bankotsu]

As the night progressed, he noticed that Mew still hadn't gone to sleep. He wanted Mew to be at full strength for their battle with Naraku.

"Mew, get some sleep."

[Kijiri]

She looked down at Sesshoumaru, feeling a little sleepy despite her cool expression. Jumping down from her perch, she layed down on the grass, quickly meeting sleep.

[Bankotsu]

Sesshoumaru stayed awake until daybreak protecting Rin. Rin was the first to be awake. Then she we awoke Jaken. Sesshoumaru had not felt a bit sleepy.
