Something more precious than gold
Food
Rin sat on a rock, looking down at her feet. Sesshomaru had left on an important mission, leaving her with Jaken. Jaken stood over by the lake. He had seen what he thought to be a pink pearl in the bottom of the lake, so he said. She hadn't seen anything.
After a bit he came over. "A fish must have eaten it." He sighed. "And I was going to sell it so that we could have food."
"We have food Master Jaken. There's fruits and berries over there and if there's fish in there…"
"I want real food!" The little demon yelled. He stomped his feet.
Rin sighed. "Well perhaps…"
"What! What! Do you have something we could sell for money?" Jaken began to look excited.
"No…" Rin began, but saw the little demons face drop. "I mean I do, but…"
The demon jumped on the rock in front of her. He held out his hand. "Give it to me then. I…"
"No!" Rin said, grabbing the area above her breast. She shook her head fiercely. Jaken was surprised by the sudden reaction. "Rin, I…"
Rin got up and began to run…fast. Jaken stood up only to trip on his robes and fall over face-first.
"Rin!" He called, but Rin was long gone. He sighed and sat down, hoping that Rin would return before Sesshomaru.
