Alas. I'm an evil liar. But seriously. I've been very restless today and I got a couple of things to uselessly rattle off… Eventually I'll come back to Herself, which is bothering me so much that I think I may re-post it….

Much to Jaken's easily-provoked aggravation, the small child in the checkered…Rin-chan, sighed heavily and melodramatically. The little green imp could not help but want to strangle the child, as she seemed to repeat the same actions once every hour, on the nose. Jaken wondered if Lord Sesshoumaru could ever comprehend how unsettlingly irritating it was to constantly be in the presence of a child such as Rin. Insufferable. But Jaken was sure Sesshoumaru must be aware as it was completely impossible to ignore a creature like RIN. So what then did Sesshoumaru see in the demonic human child that Jaken was not wise enough to comprehend? Perhaps it was her extreme tactfulness, the type which she had kindly imparted upon her traveling companions a few hours before…..
"Sesshou-tou-sama?" Rin peeked around one very puffy pant leg, blinking innocently.
"RIN!" Jaken spluttered. Everytime she called him that, Jaken would race to save his lord from such embarrassment as to be addressed in such a way by a mere human child. However, Sesshoumaru had either amazingly selective hearing or he was becoming dreaddfully soft because he always answered her in the same impassive and slightly bored tone.
Rin looked back at Jaken, but Sesshoumaru also replied affirmatively to her beseeching and so she decided to ignore Jaken since he was far less important than her Sesshou-tou-sama. She opened her mouth, but quickly shut it at the slight reprimand in his eyes that clearly said 'Do not ask if you may ask a question.' Sesshou-tou-sama told Rin that it was an extremely annoying habit and showed insecurity, weakness, hesitance…the list goes on. So Rin gathered the best of her wits and tried her best to say this in a way that would please the great Youkai before her. "Well," she began, her voice suddenly sounding deeper than her immature human female vocal chords should allow. "Rin noticed…Rin noticed that there are only three other people that travel with Sesshou-tou-sama. So Rin thought that while Rin has Jaken-sama and AhUn to keep Rin company, who should keep Sesshou-tou-sama company? Since Sesshou-tou-sama is so old, perhaps it would be good to seek out another companion that is the same age as Sesshou-tou-sama!"
Sesshoumaru stared down at the child blankly while Jaken spluttered worse than ever. "YOU IMPUDENT WRETCH!!!! Are you suggesting that Sesshoumaru-sama is not strong to care for himself efficiently?" Jaken was thoroughly affronted by the idea; it was as if the Rin had plunged the mighty Tetsusaiga through each of his eyes.
Rin blinked twice and looked form Jaken's enraged face to Sesshoumaru's calm but slightly perplexed one. The girl shook her head back and forth harshly. "NO! Rin means to say that…that," she was nervous, but refused to show it in front of the others. Finally, deciding there was no other way to say it delicately, she screamed, "RIN WANTS A MOTHER!"
THAT certainly stopped Jaken's squawking. However, Sesshoumaru spoke before Jaken had the chance to yell deprecations. "You desire a mother?"
Rin nodded vigorously. "But only because Sesshou-tou-sama is very busy and does not have time to look after and protect Rin. Rin thinks that if Sesshou-tou-sama had a wife then she could look after Rin all the time and Sesshou-tou-sama wouldn't feel so bothered every time Rin was in danger or hungry or sick or—"
"Bothered, you say? What gave you that idea?" Sesshoumaru asked, but a good deal of intuition told him he already knew the answer. Rin wordlessly pointed at Jaken. "Jaken," Jaken in response merely gulped, for his tone spoke the words clearly: Later today I will beat you within an inch of your life.
Satisfied that Jaken was thoroughly scared out of his wits, he turned to the small girl still awaiting his reply. "Rin, you do not require a mother."
He'd said it with such finality, but glancing over at the child, Jaken could tell she was still contemplating his reasoning. "Rin," he barked irritably. "What is wrong with you? If you fall behind milord will leave us!"
"Rin knows why Sesshou-tou-sama doesn't want a wife." Rin cheered out of nowhere. Jaken frantically looked to his lord to see if he'd heard her brash and random declaration. Sesshoumaru neither slowed nor tilted his head in that slight way when he was indicating his attention wordlessly. But that didn't mean he wasn't listening. "Sesshou-tou-sama is soooooooooooo pretty that his wife would get jealous of him and be mad at him all the time!"
Jaken laughed nervously as he noticed a very slight falter in Sesshoumaru's step. "Uh, Rin…I don't think that's right,"
Then Rin put her hands on her hips said something that certainly did make Sesshoumaru stop. "Jaken, Rin knows these things because Rin has woman's institution!" She sniffed haughtingly and continued walking, though all of her fellow travelers had stopped to stare at her.
"Jaken," If his travel companions didn't know any better, they'd swear he was attempting to stifle laughter. "Remind me to have a little talk with Kagome next time we come across her."
...Rin meant she has woman's intuition...not institution. But perhaps our dear little Rin BELONGS in an institution somewhere...
This little 900 or whatever words drabble is so cute! I love this, prolly, my favorite after 'War Games'. I hope this at least makes you giggle... Oh, and Rin calls him Sesshou-tou-sama like 'otou-san', but with a special flare just for fluffy! Sorry, a few spellinf errors were driving me INSANE!!
