I'm currently dying of a real bad cold or flu or whatever and mum has been takin care of me and it got me thinking about how parents look after there kids then I started thinking about that episode where inuyasha made medicine for kagome and THAT got me wondering about how Sesshomaru would react if Rin got sick so I got the idea to do this little story, just to let you all know I feel really horrible from this cold flu thingy so it might no be the best written thing iv done but anyway enjoy.

Rin's Cold

"Aaaaaachoo"

Rin rubbed her nose sleepily as she laid on Ah-Un's back, a small groan escaped her lips as she rolled over and curled up as much as she could. Even though it was a sunny, warm day out Rin had spent most of it shivering and sleeping on Ah-Un's back, she had yet to once ask to stop and play or to eat which was causing some concern in Sesshomaru. Jaken was growing frustrated with Rin's constant sneezes and groaning, it was almost as annoying as the singing and non-stop talking that he had grown very patient with.

"Aaaachoooo" Rin sneezed once again

"Enough with that silly sound" Jaken snapped

"I ca...can't...Aaaachooooo"

As nightfall came Rin was still sneezing and she had started to cough no to making Jaken even angrier, Jaken was about to say something when Sesshomaru thought it would be a good idea to interrupt before the imp hurt the girl's feelings.

"Rin, aren't you going to catch some fish"

"I'm not hungry" she mumbled half asleep

Not long after that Rin had fallen asleep leaning on Ah-Un curled into a small ball, not long after Jaken had found his own patch of grass and was quickly asleep leaving only Sesshomaru awake leaning on a tree. He looked over at Rin who was cuddling her own body as small shivers spread from head to foot, Sesshomaru watched the small child confused, even though it was quite warm tonight she was shaking like it was a cold winter's day. Rin had awoken during the night to the gentle sound of a fire, she sat up a little bit and saw that someone had built a fire while she was sleeping, she looked over at Jaken who was spread out on the grass snoring slightly then over at Sesshomaru who looked like he was asleep. She slowly started to crawl over towards Sesshomaru careful not to wake the sleeping demon, once she was only arms length away from him she stopped and looked up at him.

"Is he really asleep?"

Rin slowly reached out her hand and gently poked Sesshomaru's arm than pulled her hand away quickly, once he didn't move or open his eyes Rin once again reached out to touch him. When she was sure he was asleep she crawled even closer to him and snuggled up close to him using his fur as a soft blanket.

"Ill just stay here for a little bit" she thought as her eyes slowly closed

Sesshomaru heard Rin starting to move around, even though his eyes where closed he could tell she was looking at him then he heard her moving closer towards him.

"What is she doing?" he wondered listing to Rin

She stoped moving once she was fairly close to him; she was close enough that Sesshomaru could hear her heart beat as clear as his own. He heard her heart race before he felt her touch; it was only a slight touch, nothing that she hadn't done when she thought he was sleeping. Normally Sesshomaru would open his eyes to show her that he was still awake but he was slightly curious to what she would do if she thought he was asleep, remaining perfectly still Sesshomaru laid there waiting to find out what Rin would do. There was another gentle touch at his arm only this time it lasted long as well as more...forceful then that of before, Sesshomaru noticed how even under his clothes her hand felt cold, to cold for the nice weather they had been having lately. Before he knew it Rin was snuggled up against him and fast asleep, even though she was sleeping her breathing was uneven and sharp like she was in some sort of pain. Sesshomaru opened his eyes and looked down at the small figure next to him, even though Rin was against Sesshomaru's warm body and under his soft fur she was still shaking slightly. Her gentle face scrunched up as she started to groan in pain, Sesshomaru reached out and brushed her hair away from her forehead, as he did this he noticed that her head was surprisingly hot compared to the rest of her body. Sesshomaru was starting to get worried about Rin; this was not something he had dealt with before.

"I need one that knows the ways of humans"

Seeing that he had no other choice he carefully picked up Rin and disappeared into the night. Has he reached his destination he could tell that everyone was already asleep, everyone but one.

"What are you doing here" Inuyasha growled jumping down from his tree

"I have no business with you" Sesshomaru answered with his normal blank expression "I have come to seek out the miko you travel with"

"What do you want with Kagome!" Inuyasha hissed

"That is none of your concern"

During this Kagome had started to stir from the sound of voices, at first she thought she was imagining this until she noticed Inuyasha was no longer in his tree.

"Where could he have gone so late..."

"Inuyasha?" Kagome called quietly

There was a gust of wind and a flash of white making Kagome rub her eyes to make sure she saw what she thought she saw, sure enough Sesshomaru was standing before her staring down.

"Sesshomaru? What are you doing here?" Kagome asked confused

Sesshomaru didn't answer he just pulled Rin from his safety and held her out in front of Kagome, Kagome started at Rin even more confused, this was all to much for her to handle after just waking up.

"There is something wrong with her" Sesshomaru said answering Kagome's un-asked question "her head is hot but her body is cold"

Kagome reached out and placed her hand on Rin's forehead making her shuffle in her sleep slightly; Kagome pulled away her hand after a few seconds and moved over to her bag.

"She just has the flu; she will be ok in a few days"

Kagome rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small bottle with some strange looking liquid in it as well as a small see threw thing with strange small righting on it.

"when she wakes up pour this into here until its about half way and make sure she drinks it all then once more at night time ok" Kagome explained handing him the two items

"Isn't that the yucky stuff you tried to give Shippo that time?" Inuyasha commented standing behind her

"Yeah..." Kagome said thinking back

Kagome had tried giving Shippo medicine from her time once before but before she even got it close to him he was already running away from the awful smell, if it wasn't for Inuyasha and the promise of sweets he wouldn't have ever taken it.

"Well hopefully you will have more luck at getting Rin to take this"
