It was late afternoon and in the middle of spring, the mating season. Rin was skipping ahead of the group and humming a cheerful tune.
Sesshoumaru's ears perked as he caught a small 'eep' from the girl. His steps quicken and soon left the clumsy imp demon behind. Sesshoumaru halted to a stop when he saw the sight before him.
Rin stood there wide-eyed staring at the sight before her. Two rabbit demons were at it. Moans and grunts emitted from the two.
With a look of cold disgust Sesshoumaru turned away from the sight.
"Rin, let's go," he stated clearly and walked off.
A few moments later when Rin's footsteps were not heard, he turned back.
"Rin," Sesshoumaru forced.
The young girl had no notion of ever hearing him. The female rabbit let out a loud squeal. The feeling of annoyance flashed through his face. With a flick of his wrist the two busy demons dropped dead to his poison whip.
The sound of body parts thumping to the ground woke Rin from her trance.
"Rin, let's go. This Sesshoumaru will not repead his words."
Rin turned her head towards him with a smile. "Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama."
Sesshoumaru walked off with Rin trailing behind him. Jaken caught up as his screechy voice sounded. "Sesshoumaru-sama! Sesshoumaru-sama! Why did you leave me for a useless human?"
Sesshoumaru glared at him and Jaken quickly bowed, "forgive this lowly one for questioning you, Sesshoumaru-sama!"
Sesshoumaru disregarded him; his main concern was for his young ward. She had been too quiet ever since the sight of the pathetic mating demons. Sesshoumaru came to a stop at a small clearing.
"We will stop here for tonight, Jaken go fetch some food."
"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Jaken screeched and scrambled off.
Rin seated herself under a tree, consumed by her own thoughts.
The silence was deafening.
"Sesshoumaru-sama?' Rin asked looking at him. Sesshoumaru turned his head slightly in her direction and Rin took it as a sign he was listening.
"What were they doing?" She asked with innocent eyes.
Sesshoumaru nearly scoffed. "You should not concern yourself with such things."
"But that man's big finger was going in that woman."
Sesshoumaru could not prevent himself from releasing a snort. "It is not your concern," he repeated.
"It looked like fun," Rin continued. "The woman kept making funny sounds."
Sesshoumaru kept silent, not knowing what else to say.
"Sesshoumaru-sama."
He turned his head towards her. Rin's innocent face stared back.
"Maybe Sesshoumaru and Rin can have fun like that someday."
Sesshoumaru's eyes widened in shock, he fought to keep the blush down. With a steady voice, he calmly stated. "You do not know what you are saying."
"But it looked like it was really fun!" Rin whined.
"No."
Before Rin could say anything on the subject, Jaken arrived with food. Sesshoumaru was saved from any further embarrassment.
Authors note: When the idea came to me, I knew that I had to write it out.
It's really cute and just to show that Rin is still young, though I wouldn't be surprised if the children in that era were more exposed, but Rin genuinely thought the rabbit demons were playing a game...
I hope you enjoyed this short story. (Should I have Sesshoumaru dump this problem on Kagome?)
