Author's Note:
Yet another short-fic that I dedicate to my co-author/other brain Shin-chan and her endless obsession with Sesshoumaru, and another what-if question putting him in a certain...mmm, situation. As for what that situation is...well, you'll see after the story, I don't want to spoil the ending. =v
One Morning
LH-chan '04
It started slowly. A tiny flicker, a slight movement.
Jaken stared when he saw it, transfixed, unable to speak for the shock of seeing it.
Around him, Rin romped in the dew-wet grass, small bare feet sending up playful splashes of water that dampened her kimono and left tiny sparkles in her hair.
An early morning butterfly drifted past, floating lazily on the air currents. Rin chased after it, making the beautiful thing flutter its wings violently in an attempt to escape. The pursuit carrying girl and insect back toward Sesshoumaru as he watched over her, his hand resting on the pommel of Tenseiga.
She was only a short distance from him when her feet went out from under her, the butterfly fluttering away to freedom as she crashed face first in the grass, wet mud splashing out around her.
Again, Jaken saw it, the flicker, the movement slightly more pronounced.
Sesshoumaru was on his feet in an instant, at Rin's side in the next.
She was sitting up even as Sesshoumaru reached her, unharmed for her tumble, still filled with childish energy, the bridge of her nose smeared in dirt. She stared up at him for a moment, a puzzled sort of expression.
Jaken could stare at the movement no longer, its nature was too clear, its presence so unusual.
"S-Sesshoumaru-sama..."
Rin stared up at Sesshoumaru a moment more, then she smiled, a bright, cheerful expression that seemed to light up her whole face. Jaken was struck speechless, there was no doubt...
Sesshoumaru smiled.
Owari.
