"What does this say Master Jaken?" Rin asked pointing to a line in the book
"Huh oh that says 'little red riding hood picked lots of pretty flowers for her grandmother but she didn't know someone was lurking in the forest watching her with hungry eyes' foolish human travelling alone"
"Oh no what happened nest master Jaken?" Rin asked eager
"You have to turn the page Rin"
"Oh"
Rin turned the page in the book and was about to ask Jaken what the words said when Sesshomaru came walking up to them.
"Welcome back Lord Sesshomaru" Rin smiled
"M...Milord!" Jaken panicked
"Where… did you get that?" Sesshomaru asked looking at the book in Rin's hands
"Kagome gave it to me" she smiled handing it to him
"I swear! I told her to discard it, but she wouldn't listen!"
Sesshomaru held the book in his hand and looked it over, he read the title 'Little Red Riding Hood' then flipped through the pages before handing it back to Rin.
"You may keep it" he said once he was sure it wasn't dangerous
"Thankyou Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin beamed happy
A FEW WEEKS LATER
"Lord Sesshomaru look what Rin has" she called out holding a book in her hands
"Kagome brought you another book"
"Uhuh, this one is called Sleeping Beauty"
"I see"
Rin found a place to sit and started to read the book with Jaken's help, over the last few weeks Rin had started to learn to read and was borrowing books from Kagome every time they met. Every time Rin read a new book she would think of a new game to play, last time it was The Jungle Book, Rin would pretend to be in a jungle filled with animals. Rin had decided that Sesshomaru was Baloo the bear and that Ah-Un was Bagheera, after complaining about Rin's new game she decided that Jaken was Shear Cahn and that her and Sesshomaru needed to "slay" him. The games were always harmless other then Jaken getting "slayed" all the time and Sesshomaru didn't mind he easily droned out her constant chatter but he didn't know what he was in for this time.
"Then they all lived happily ever after" Rin explained to Sesshomaru
She had just finished reading the book out loud so Sesshomaru already knew what had happened but Rin had decided that she needed to tell him everything anyway.
"I'm a princess, Lord Sesshomaru is the prince, Ah-Un is Lord Sesshomaru's horse and Jaken you can be Mal… Ife… you can be the old witch!"
"I will be no such thing"
Rin spent a while singing and picking flowers and taking them back 'home' which was a small spot between two trees, it took about an hour before Jaken got fed up with Rin's singing and all the flowers around that made his nose itch.
"oh no the witch has come to get me, save me prince Lord Sesshomaru!"
Sesshomaru picked up a rock and threw it on Jaken's head, Rin had jumped up and down saying "the witch is dead" when she suddenly stopped and laid down on the floor with her hands at her chest holding flowers. Sesshomaru walked over to Rin who was 'playing dead' and knelt down beside her.
"Lord Sesshomaru you have to kiss me, like in the book" Rin explained
Rin opened her eyes to see Sesshomaru knelling beside her frozen.
"Lord Sesshomaru are you ok?"
He stood up and walked through the forest with the book in hand, Rin quickly got up and followed after him leaving Ah-Un to watch over the still passed out Jaken. They came to a clearing where Kagome and the others were eating lunch.
"Sesshomaru? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked
Sesshomaru held out the book, Kagome took a hold of it very confused to what was going on then Sesshomaru walked away.
"What was that about?" Kagome asked no one in particular
"I don't think Sesshomaru liked this game" Rin said looking up at Kagome
"Game?"
"We always play a game after stories, I was the princess, Lord Sesshomaru was the prince, Ah-Un was the horse and Jaken was the witch. Lord Sesshomaru killed the witch then he was meant to kiss me like in the book but he came here"
Kagome, Sango and Miroku stared at Rin with wide eyes while Inuyasha fell to the floor in a fit of laughter.
