Rin shivered inching closer to the dimming fire. Flakes of snow still clung to her hair while she folded into herself. It wasn't enough to be draped under Mokomoko, she rubbed her hands together.
"Jaken gather firewood." Sesshomaru barked without opening his eyes. His back was perched against the cave wall near the entrance.
"M'lord- "
"Now." Was all it took to get the frog squirming away from their site uttering numerous 'yes m'lords ' .
"Wait Master Jaken, Rin will help you." She offered freeing herself from her position.
"Rin, you will keep still." Sesshomaru stated without missing a beat. His eyes met hers before returning to his state of meditation
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru." Confusion melted from her features before a grin spread across her frosty blue lips. She repositioned herself cross legged with Mokomoko wrapped tightly around her small frame.
It wasn't long before the only sounds of the winds in the night were replaced with a low hum.
"Rin." Warned the demon.
The hum left as quickly as it came. Rin grew to love quiet nights although tonight due to the cold, she was irritated.
As she pulled Mokomoko around her shoulders, she made her way towards her lord and plopped herself down beside the Lord.
"It's too cold for you here. Return to the fire." He sighed sensing her presence.
"No."
"No?" This time Sesshomaru peered at the grinning little girl with a peeked interest.
"And why is that?"
"Rin wants to watch the moon with you."
"I'm meditating." He stated flatly before returning to his deep concentration.
"Rin will continue to watch the moon beside you then." Her teeth chattered.
She was met with silence.
They sat side by side with the sound of the last bit of wood crackling and harsh winds keeping them company before they were interrupted.
"Achoo!" Rin rubbed her nose and sniffled. Before she could hug her knees tighter and try to warm herself up, she felt him shift forwards slightly. He radiated warmth. He was quite a sight to behold. White shiny hair that matched the glow of the moon and standing out from the falling flakes of snow.
A yawn found its way to her lips as she tried to hid it. She slowly rose peering out the cave to locate the green imp but was stopped when a hand caught her wrist and dragged her body down. She was currently seated on her Lord's lap as he held her against him. Her head rested against the crook of his neck and his arm snaked around her.
"He will be back. In the meantime, sleep."
She struggled to escape him but found no success. She felt his breaths tickle her skin.
"Thank you Lord Sesshomaru." She whispered feeling her eyelids grow heavy. And that's when she heard it. A small hum that she felt when rested against him. Sleep came shortly with the rumbling against her ears and the scent of cedar wood.
