Title: Rin's Curiosity

Rating: K+

Summary: Rin overhears a human couple's conversation as she is picking flowers. She goes to Sesshoumaru with the question all males fear. "Sesshoumaru-sama, where do babies come from?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin is hungry," seven year old Rin said.

"Jaken, go find Rin some food. We will stop for now."

"Yes milord," Jaken said in his squeaky voice and hurried off on Ah-Un.

Rin sat down in a flower field and started picking flowers.

"Sesshoumaru-sama will love these. Especially since Rin picked them her self!" Rin said happily.

As the sun started to set, she heard some voices coming nearer to her spot in the field. She quickly dived behind a small boulder. She heard some...interesting things from the human couple as they walked by.

"...don't know what to do!" The man was saying.

"We'll make it in time." The woman tried to comfort him.

"But the baby is due any day now!" The man yelled.

"We'll make it..." The woman started but before she could finish the man interrupted.

"We are miles away from the nearest village!" The man interrupted.

The couple was soon out of hearing for Rin, but she was too busy thinking of what they had said.

"Maybe Sesshoumaru-sama can answer what they meant. Rin didn't understand. But Sesshoumaru will know!" Rin said to herself.

Rin hurried off back to their chosen campsite for the night. She found Jaken roasting three fish and Sesshoumaru standing, staring into the distance. Sesshoumaru could either smell Rin's curiosity rolling off her in waves or it was her eyes that told him she had a question.

"What is it Rin?"

"Sesshoumaru-sama, Rin saw two people walk by. They were talking about a baby due any day. What does that mean?"

"They're going to have a pup soon. They meant it will be born any day now."

"Oh. Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"Hmm?"

"Where do babies come from?"

Sesshoumaru's eyes widened slightly. Barely noticeable, but they did. Jaken, who had also heard Rin's question, started sputtering and squawking.

"Rin! You should know not to ask something like that of Sesshoumaru-sama! It's not something you need to know!"

"But why not? Rin is curious Jaken-sama! Please tell me Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin pleaded with big pleading eyes.

Sesshoumaru inwardly groaned as he realized he could never say no to her. He regained his icy composure and turned to the still rambling Jaken. He inwardly smirked.

"Jaken. Answer Rin's question."

"Wh-wh-what?" Jaken stuttered.

"Now."

"Y-yes milord. Now listen up Rin. I will only say this once." Jaken said and started the story of the birds and the bees.

----AFTER STORY----

Rin blinked. Sesshoumaru was laid back against a rock. Jaken was mumbling and grumbling to himself and Ah-Un was sleeping.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, was that a true story?"

"It's what happens."

"Oh. Have you ever done that to a woman?"

Sesshoumaru, had he not been as composed as he was, would have fainted.

Instead he said, "Rin go to sleep."

"Okay!" Rin said yawning.

And so another day and night had passed for Sesshoumaru, his ward, servant, and pet.
