Shihiro
I never want to move boxes ever again. Buying boxes, tapping boxes, lifting, carrying, transporting, organizing boxes!
"I never want to do anything with boxes ever again" I groan, pushing he last box onto the shelf.
I could here Rin and sota running around outside as I lay on the old concrete floor.
It was finally the day we're going back to the feudal era. The past three days have been nice and relaxing. Especially for rin. For once in her short life she was able to truly relax and not worry about demons being around every corner.
I turn my head to look at the puzzle rin was able to finish. I had gotten a frame for it so we didn't have to ruin her hard work. It was just one of those cheesy winter snow scene puzzles, but remembering how happy rin looked when she put the last piece in, makes it special and worth keeping.
"Shi-Kun are you done in there yet? Kagomes told me to come and get you." Rin mused, pushing open the shed door to see me laying on the floor.
"Lunch time already? I must have zoned out while putting everything away" I sigh, enjoying the chill of the concrete seeping into my bones.
It took five minutes of in attempting to drag me out by my arms before I decided to get up and allow her to pull me to the house.
We all had a lovely lunch of sandwiches and chips. I let rin have her, now favorite, Dip n dots after nice this will most likely be the last time she could have some.
Kagome and I double checked our bags while the kids helped with the dishes.
"Soooo..." Kagome mused, earning against the wall next to me "when do you think will be the next time we cross paths with sesshomaru?"
I pause to look at her. She had a small mischievous smile and an odd twinkle in her eye which had me raise a brow at her.
"I don't know honestly" I got bag to looking through my bag "even with the amount of time I've spent with him. He's still a big mystery in some parts. Though I know he's overly protective of rin so there is a possibility he could show up in a couple weeks to check up on her"
I guess I said the wrong thing cause not thing I know, I'm grabbed by the shoulders and being shaken like a ragdoll.
"Excuse me?! Are my ears deceiving me or are you talking as if he wont be checking on you too? The man who I saw give in to what you wanted. The man who nearly killed inuyasha cause you were crying?!" The high schooler finally let go off me to place her hands on her hips.
"Are you telling me all that time you've spent with him, you don't think he cares about you? I'm not even gonna ask if you care cause you obviously do- dont give me that look hiro we practically grew up together I know when you have a crush" She huffed, shaking her head in disbelief.
I roll my eyes "ok so I might have some feelings for the man. But-" I raise my hand when I see her open her mouth "I am not a trophy or something to claim and shown off like an object. That is something I've made very clear with sesshomaru and he's already shown me that he's not like that. ObVIouSlY" my tone turned mocking at the end.
"We've also only known each other for three months-four months? And that whole time was traveling in close proximity to each other. I'm hoping what ever feelings he's developed are real and still there when we finally see him again. But he's a literal demon lord that rules over a large part of feudal japan. I can only assume there are many demons wanting to be his partner" as small growl rumbled in the back of my throat, a sound that reminded me I wasn't entirely human.
"So you think being away from him might make his feelings fade and he'll find someone else" Kagome nodded as if she solved the questions of the universe.
"Yes, I'm an insecure 'lover' who hopes they're potential partner is fully serious in developing an actual relationship" exasperation laced my voice as I heft my new backpack onto my shoulders.
"Now we should get going before a certain mutt comes to nag us" I quite before my friend could say anything else.
"Fine..." she pouted, shouldering her bag.
"Rin time to go!"

The first thing I do once we touch down in the well was take a deep breath. Nice clean air, not polluted with anything. I hear the chatter of kagomes group above us, waiting for us to arrive.
"Hey guys!" Kagome called out making the chatter stop "could we get a little help?"
Of course help was given. First our bags, then Kagome climbed up till she was helped out. I had Rin climb up next and then I followed behind her.
Honestly it was just a wee so nothing has changed at all, except maybe the big spots of missing grass thanks to Ah-Un, everyone looked much more rested now.
I watch Rin run up to Ah-Un, The dragon looking pleased to see us back. Kagome chatted with her companions, getting caught up with what everyone was doing while we were gone.
I decided to follow rin since I wasn't that close to kagomes friends.
"Hey there big boys" I grin when they started rubbbing their heads against my chest, demanding scratches " you definitely missed us huh? Yes you did. Oh yes you did" I scratch their chins, smoothing them in baby talk. They loved every bit of it, if the low rumbling purr was any indication.
"Shihiro" Sangos call getting my attention, I see her walking over with Ah-Uns saddle "I cleaned and oiled their saddle this morning since it had been sitting out for so long" she gave a hesitant smile, either unsure of my reaction or -the more probable answer- because of the unamused stare she was getting from the two headed dragon.
"Oh thank you! I really appreciate that" I give her a genuine smile which seemed to calm her nerves and encourage her to get closer.
I go back to giving Ah-Un their scratches, which was an amazing distraction for rin and Sango to tack on their saddle.
"He hasn't flown since you guys left so maybe a short flight would do him some good" Sango mused, tugging to saddle straps to make sure it secure.
"Ah-Un only flys when we need him to fly. Even though he's capable of flying anytime. He's more of a keep their feet on the ground type" I snort softly, massaging the spot between the two necks.
"Grandpa jaken says Ah-Un is a spoiled pampered pet" Rin giggled, climbing up onto the saddle with practiced ease.
"Which is not true, huh baby bois? Definitely not. Nope nope nope!"
Sango watch me smoother the dragon in baby talk, kisses, and scratches. Said dragon was loving every bit of attention from their favorite people.

After a day of getting up to date on nothing important and preparing for our two to three month traveling. It was finally time to hit the road again. While we were gone, Miroku and Sango had gone to the nearest villages and towns to figure out when we could travel to next.
They heard some rumors of a couple demons in the north suddenly gaining power and gathering followers so fast that the probability of jewel shards or naraku being involved is VERY high.
That was all we needed to hear to set our direction and start our journey.
