Journey Begins

Sesshomaru and Jaken did indeed stay the night in the hut with Kirai and Rin. Rin slept well but Kirai did not. She couldn't handle the demonic aura in the air around her. She wasn't used to demons yet, let alone a demon resting in the same area as her. So, it was one restless night for Kirai.

"Time to get up Kirai! Let's pack our stuff and head out on our journey!" Rin had only been awake for a few minutes but was already so loud. It caused Kirai to just groan as she sat up and looked around the hut in a daze. She just wanted to see if she had gone crazy or if the demons were still there around her.

"What are you looking at you human!?" Jaken snapped at the girl as she paused when she looked at the imp.

"I'm looking at something disgusting. That's what."

"Already so angry Kirai? Is that your default mood or something?" Rin questioned with a laugh. Kirai then turned to glare at the young girl.

"It might be." That caused Rin to just laugh even further. Once her laughter subsided, she continued making breakfast for the four of them.

"Rin, I don't eat human food." Sesshomaru scolded as Rin offered him a plate of food once the food was done being made. He still took the food anyway and began to nibble on it despite his words. It was clear on Rin's face that she wanted him to eat it anyway, and to avoid a teenager's tantrum, Sesshomaru ate it anyway. It seemed he'd already been shown how upset young girls can get when they don't get their way. It made Kirai wonder if Rin has been bitchy at all towards her precious Lord Sesshomaru, but she figured it was just that Rin had been that way towards Jaken or someone else in Sesshomaru's presence.

"Here is your portion Jaken." Rin handed the little demon some food and then turned to Kirai and handed her some food. "And here you go Kirai."

"Thank you, Rin."

With that, the four of them ate in silence and ate quite quickly. Sesshomaru and Jaken didn't want to remain in a human village for any longer than necessary. Rin wanted to head out on a journey and Kirai was just hungry.

"So Lord Sesshomaru, where will we travel first?" Rin sounded excited and was hardly able to keep still. She was acting like a little child, and it was nice to see for Kirai. It was better than having a bratty teenager to deal with anyway.

"We will go wherever we want to go. Why does it matter to you, child?" Jaken snapped in a defensive tone.

"I'm not a child!"

"Compared to me you are!"

"Jaken! Leave her be." Sesshomaru snapped instantly. The little demon quieted up a moment later, with a snap of his jaw closing.

"I'm sure wherever we will go will be fine, right Rin?" Kirai muttered, trying to calm the situation and bring the air in the room back to normal.

"I agree!" Rin smiled brightly at the other girl and then to Sesshomaru and Jaken. The little demon grumbled a little bit, but nothing more than that.

"Have you said your goodbyes to everyone Rin?"

"I have to everyone but Kagome and Inuyasha."

"Well, let's go say goodbye to them and then head out." Rin nodded her head and then stood up. Kirai followed her and the two females left the hut to go find Kagome and the half-demon. They did find them eventually. They were out of their hut and wandering around in the village talking to various people.

"Kagome! Inuyasha! It's time for us to say goodbye!" Rin yelled out as she approached the couple. Kirai was right behind her, not moving as quickly as the young girl was though. Since Rin made it there to them first, she said her goodbyes before Kirai even made it to them.

"We'll make sure we come back and visit every so often!" Rin was excited clearly to be heading out on another journey. Kagome and Rin hugged while Inuyasha patted the girl on the head.

"We'll miss ya kid," Inuyasha spoke teasingly to the young girl. She glared at him but didn't say anything to his words. "So I hear you're going with 'em?" That was directed towards Kirai, who'd finally caught up with them.

"I am. It's been... nice staying here, but it's probably for the best that I go. Being around people has never been my strong suit."

"I hope the best for you, Kirai." Kagome hugged the young girl, which surprised Kirai. Even so, she hugged back and nodded to Inuyasha after the hug ended.

With the goodbyes done, the two girls headed back to Rin's hut. There, they grabbed their things, which for Kirai was just her sword and for Rin was a bag. She packed a few kimonos for herself and for Kirai. The two girls were both around the 5 feet 2 inches range, so the kimonos could fit both of the girls. Along with the kimonos, Rin packed a small knife. It was one of her presents from Sesshomaru and she absolutely loved it.

"Are you girls ready yet?" Jaken grumbled from the doorway. Sesshomaru was standing outside already as the little demon was waiting impatiently in the hut.

"We're ready," Kirai responded glaring at the little imp. He glared right back but quickly stopped when Sesshomaru looked at him. It was like Sesshomaru knew the little demon was wanting to pick a fight with the older human.

"Alright, let's head out!" Rin yelled out happily as she held up her bag. The three of them left the hut and stood in front of Sesshomaru. "We're ready Lord Sesshomaru." His eyes went to Kirai. More specifically, the sword she was holding in her hands.

"Do you know how to use that?" The tall demon questioned in his usual tone, with a little annoyance hidden behind it.

"...Not really. I just point at things and then they kind of dissolve. Not the Tessaiga though. It just blocked it without doing any damage."

"Actually Kirai, it caused Tessaiga to crack a little bit." Inuyasha, who'd approached a moment earlier interrupted suddenly.

"Really? I'm so sorry I didn't mean to do that." Kirai clearly felt horrible about it, but the half-demon didn't seem to care too much.

"Show me." Came Sesshomaru's simple order, which startled the girl.

"Who do you think you're ordering around?"

"The girl, not you half-breed." That seemed to calm Inuyasha enough. The whole group then moved to the outskirts of the village for Kirai to show off her powers. "Now show me." Kirai nodded her head and unsheathed her sword. She pointed it towards a tree, but then nothing happened.

"It won't work unless she's afraid for her life," Inuyasha mentioned simply, which Kirai did not appreciate. She didn't need to give the tall demon any reason to threaten her life.

"Then think of this as a threat. I will kill you if you do not show your powers."

"Don't you dare Sesshomaru!" Even though Inuyasha said that Kirai still felt the threat and acted on it. Her blue/black power surrounded her sword. She pointed it at a tree again and this time her power shot forward and hit the tree. Once the ball of power touched the tree, it began to dissolve and melt away. It was similar to Sesshomaru's own acid.

"Damn that's a dangerous power for a human to have," Inuyasha grumbled as he watched the tree fully dissolve.

"Dangerous and strange." Sesshomaru simply responded as he looked down at Kirai.

"Did you just agree with me?"

"Be silent, fool." Hearing their little argument, the two girls in the field began to giggle to themselves. They found it very cute and hilarious to see the two brothers arguing in such a manner. It was clear that neither brother truly meant any harm towards the other, despite how their words sounded to each other.

"So, it's strange for me to have such an ability?" Kirai finally questioned after the giggling left her body.

"Have you met any other human with the power of acid? That is a demonic power... or a witch one." With that, Sesshomaru turned around and began to leave. "Let's go." The direction he was leaving in was the direction away from the village.

"Our journey shall begin now!" Rin happily cheered as she grabbed her bag and ran to catch up with Sesshomaru.

"Wait for me milord!" Jaken cried out as he ran after the young human girl and Sesshomaru. Kirai just sighed out loud and sheathed her sword.

"Well, I guess it's time for me to go. Goodbye Inuyasha." The young woman muttered before running after the demons and the girl.

Eventually, she caught up to them in a meadow just a little ways away from where Inuyasha stood. Sesshomaru had left Ah-Un there waiting for them, so that's where he, Jaken and Rin were as they waited for Kirai.

"You take too long human. Ride on Ah-Un." Jaken snapped as he turned away from the human. Rin was already up on the two-headed dragon.

"Come on, Kirai. Sit behind me and hold on." Rin called out to the confused looking girl. Kirai wasn't sure if she wanted to, but she knew she didn't want to walk a lot. So, following the order, she climbed up on the beast. "Ah-Un, this is Kirai. Kirai, this is Ah-Un. This was is Ah this one is Un." Rin explained pointing to which head was which. Kirai just nodded her head and then held onto the saddle as the dragon began to walk. Almost nearly falling off, she finally got a good grip as Rin just laughed at her, while Jaken made some unnecessary comments about how stupid Kirai was.

Kirai wasn't sure if she was truly ready to go on a journey with two demons, well three counting Ah-Un, and a teenager, but now she had no choice. The journey was already beginning, and she was literally onboard with it. She just hoped she didn't say something to piss Sesshomaru off enough to kill her or get killed by another demon out there. Most of all, she wanted to know what was up with the power she had and she hoped on her journey with Sesshomaru's group, she'd find the answers she so desired.
