Kari manages to calm Suzie down, but Lord Sesshomaru spots them in the bushes and orders them to come out asking them where they're from and where their families are. Kari and the others state where they come from. Lord Sesshomaru then takes a liking to Kari asking her and her friends to join them on his journey and keep Rin company.

Kari feels bad for Rin and tries to comfort her.

The girls and their new friends approach the camp where InuYasha and his companions were sleeping. InuYasha watches them closely with one eye asking himself why Lord Sesshomaru would have more human girls with him since he hates humans. InuYasha approaches Lord Sesshomaru and offers to take care of the girls for him. Kari and her friends are afraid of him and back up in fear. Lord Sesshomaru steps in front of the girls to protect them.
