The demoness snapped out of her thoughts, focusing her attention on Sesshomaru. She nodded her head slightly, shifting on her feet slightly to adjust her position. It was taking a lot of her willpower to keep herself upright. "Yes, that is true. It can be rather annoying when you are hunting for a specific demon." She paused, one eyed gaze shifting down to the child as she stepped forward. She offered a very slight smile to the child, meant to encourage her. "Thank you. I appreciate your compliment. You are quite cute yourself. You remind me of my Rose. She is physically about your age, but since she is a demon, she is older than you." Her gaze then shifted back to Sesshomaru and the smile vanished. It was obvious that she had a soft spot for children. She then focused her attention back on Rin. "Thank you for your concern, Rin."<br/><br/>She straightened, her long black hair shifting as some slid over her shoulders. Her head suddenly felt light, exhaustion creeping up on her again. She wavered but did not fall, a hand lifting to her forehead as she closed her eyes. She hated to show weakness in front of a stranger, especially a powerful youkai like him. Still, it couldn't be helped. She hadn't slept in quite some time and she had been eating little as well. Angel had a very bad habit of neglecting her body's needs and throwing herself completely into her search for Atsuki.<br/><br/>After a moment, her head cleared and she opened her eye, lowering her hand as she glanced at them. "I apologize. Where is your destination?" She asked, wanting to know where he planned to take her. It was difficult for her to give into his offer, but she knew that he did not offer such aid lightly. She would be a fool to reject his help. She may have been prideful and stubborn, but she was no fool. At least, she would like to think so.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Naraku felt her hand brushing some of his hair from his sweaty brow, his eyes opening halfway as he pinned an unfocused gaze on her. He stared as he waited for his vision to adjust, a slight grimace showing as he looked at her. He wanted to ask her why she was helping him. Did she truly not know who he was? His gaze drifted down to her hand where it fitted against his larger one, his fingers loosely curling around her hand and giving a slight squeeze. He didn't think he could speak right now, the pain was too immense.<br/><br/>In fact, it was hard enough staying conscious. Inuyasha had really done a number on him. Damn him. He stared at her, studying her features as he laid there in silence, not bothering to try to speak. Though, his throat burned and felt dry, his body thirsty for water.
