Night has fallen and yet again, their journey has stopped. Ah-Un can go on, Jaken can be forced to move should the need arise, but it is Rin and this sudden sickness, compassion, that he stops for.

The stars and full moon peek through the trees. Jaken utters something violent in his sleep. Ah, he recalls faintly, is sleeping while his twin is grazing idly nearby.

His attention is directed elsewhere. There's no need for him to be so wrapped up in the lives of those who follow him. It's not his position to care for them. No matter how he tries, though, his ears seek out, not the sounds of Jaken's sleep talk or Ah-Un's shared noises, but the soft puffs of air that come from the human child ensnared in his life.

It's nothing more than a way to distract himself while he plans and weeds through possibilities, to know that she is alive. It wouldn't do for Inuyasha to stumble across a dead human. He had no desire to fight with the half-breed.

"Uh... Lord Sesshoumaru?"

His eyes fall away from the sky, towards the shifting mortal girl, but he doesn't speak.

"I'll..." she yawns widely, rubbing her eyes. "I'll be right back..." With a little wobble, she gets up and trots off.

He waits, listens to the eerily silent forest, as patiently as possible for the child to return. The clouds shift and block out the bright moon and, for a moment, he begins to wonder if he should go and retrieve her. Moments pass without a single sound and the silence is growing almost deafening. He isn't worried. How ridiculous. He doesn't care what happens to the girl, as long as it isn't in his presence.

He stands fluidly, waiting just another brief moment for a scream or some sort of fearful cry to alert him. Did humans always take so long to go off?

Soft, tiny steps stumble back through the grass, sleepy girl blinking at him with such wide, innocent eyes... eyes he remembers from a long time ago...

"Something wrong, my Lord?" 

He averts his gaze and turns his back on her. "Go to sleep, Rin."

Suddenly, it seems the whole forest is alive...
