Melon:

The silence that never seemed to end REALLY never seemed to end for rin.

Sesshomaru was gazing off in some other world, and Jaken was blabbing on about something that really didn't concern Rin or sesshomaru so they both just ignored it.

Rin randomly listend to bits and pieces of the annoying toads bickering that seemed to catch her interest, such as "oh sesshomaru Sama there was some awful smelling substance...." And "my lord the palace guards have been slaking off lately..."

Each of which comment was bluntly ignored.

Suddenly a strange noise was heard throughout the land. "grumbblllllllleeeeee" The group abruptly stopped as all eyes turned to rin. "Rahh ....Rah ??" Rin sighed as she looked down at her now growling stomach. "Oh ....ano sessho-sama? Rin is hungry.....gomen....." She apologized.

Sesshomaru's face remained just as emotionless as always as he nodded and switched there route to where he knew of a watermealon patch.

"Phhht pathetic human!" growled jaken in disgust "She can't go more than three hours before eating again!" Jaken just didn't understand why his master put up with this child. She was arrogant, ignorant, stupid and a pain in the ass!

Rin squealed when the reached the field. "Arigato Sessho-sama, I love melon!"

Rin immediately picked up a ripe melon, plunked down and struggled as she tried to crack it open.

Sesshomaru watched for a moment a look of amusement on his face, as he leaned down and is one smooth stroke split it in half. Rin thanked him and immediately began to devour the melon. She paused when she felt his eyes on her. "Why doesn't Sessho-sama eat?" She asked as she swallowed a bite of melon. Rin had always wondered why he never ate.

Sesshomaru smiled to himself mentally of course as he looked at the expression on her face. She had smudged some seeds on one side of her cheek. And her eyes held a sort of puppy look to them.

"I do not need human food." He stated as if that closed the matter. But when he saw her gaze darken with sadness, he shrugged "But I suppose this one time wont hurt."

Rin grinned. And so they sat in the field once again ignoring a dumbstruck jaken........ eating melon.
