It was a beautiful, crystal clear day, and Sesshomaru was quite content with staring up at the sky in silence. There were no clouds in sight, and there wasn't another demon for miles. It was very nice not having to worry about anything. Sesshomaru allowed himself a small smile of satisfaction, before it reverted to a frown. Unless, of course, you had a little human girl with you that always seemed to attract some kind of trouble. The serene peace of the moment was suddenly shattered as Sesshomaru heard Rin approach him, yelling.

"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru! Look! Look! Look what I found!" Came Rin's excited cry.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Sesshomaru turned around to look down at Rin with a deadpan expression. "What is it Rin?" He hoped it was worth interrupting his peace for.

Rin, smiling widely, held something up for Sesshomaru to inspect. "I found it! Can Rin eat it?"

Sesshomaru's expression changed to faint surprise when he saw what Rin was clutching in her hands. A snake. Yes, it was a snake and it was angry. He quickly snatched the hissing creature from Rin's hands before it could think to bite her.

Rin's eyes immediately watered, and she pouted in disappointment. Had she done something wrong? Sesshomaru's expression was hard to read at the moment.

Sesshomaru saw Rin's sad face, and sighed inwardly. What to do…

"… Lord Sesshomaru? What are you going to do with it?" Rin asked tentatively, indicating the writhing snake held in his hand.

Sesshomaru stared at the small hissing creature in question. He needed to get rid of it, but he couldn't just kill it in front of Rin. She'd get even more upset. Sesshomaru saw Rin's hopeful face, and made a quick decision, one that he hoped would have the right results. Swinging the snake aloft, Sesshomaru threw it as hard as he could, dearly hoping it would land in the nearby stream and solve his problem. Sesshomaru turned back to Rin, who was smiling happily again. He'd never understand humans and their emotions.

"So that's what you do with them." Giggling, Rin ran off, heading in the direction she had come from. Feeling a sense of forbidding, Sesshomaru followed her.

Rin halted near a hole in the ground, and pointed at it, before looking up at Sesshomaru, still smiling. "Let's have a contest and see how far we can throw them!"

Sesshomaru glanced down at what Rin had been pointing at. His expression was strained. Inside the hole were a lot of snakes, all of whom looked furious at the prospect of being disturbed. Some more giggling caused Sesshomaru to look up.

Rin had run over to the stream, and had apparently found something interesting. "What are those things swimming around? Can we eat them?" Rin asked, pointing at the movement in the water.

Sesshomaru moved quickly to stop Rin from sticking a hand into the stream. The things swimming around were piranhas.

"What do you do with them Lord Sesshomaru?" Came Rin's innocent question. Sesshomaru gave a small, audible sigh. It was going to be a very long and stressful day.
