A/N: That loud squealing noise? Yeah, that was me. LOL. Sorry, But I got a little bit more than excited when I noticed that I got four reviews- call me naïve all you want. This is more of a... drabble... rather then a one-shot, due to length. I tried to make it longer, honest, but... it came out all wrong. Thus, this little ficlet was born! It's RinxSesshomaru, with Rin being... well, still a kid. But I think that's okay, seeing that this isn't really 'romantic'.
Note the word 'insolent' in pertaining to Rin, which may seem like a mis-use since Rin is like the way opposite, LOL. I kind of stuck that in there to show that Sesshy-sama really hated those damn flowers. And it sounded nice XD. Anyway... some InuKags would be the next story, if anyone cares. R & R ? Please?

The Rules of Love: Chapter II
Kiss on the Nose- I love to laugh with you.
Sesshomaru x Rin
Sesshomaru's eyes flitted open slowlu and almost lazily as he awoke from his slumber. He was almost always on alert, being asleep was no exception. However, this time around, he found himself waiting for his senses to kick in.
His sense of touch came back first, for he had felt the cool breeze nipping at his body. For a second, his thoughts wandered to where that damn win sorceress, or whatever the hell she had called herself, might be roaming around. After a second, Sesshomary had already decided that she was a lost cause, having no importance to him whatsoever. His muscles relaxed slightly at the thought of never having to see her, or any other of Naraku's incarnations, ever again. The demon had already decided to never forgive Kagura, for she had kidnapped Rin once before. He refused to show any mercy to her. Pity, however, would be another thing.
His ability to hear came next, for the Inu-youkai could hear the mice crawling through leaves somewhere far off in the grassy terrain. Rin's almost slow and steady heartbeat revealed that she was resting, though not exactly sleeping, he momentarily wondered why she might be awake before him. Jake and Ah-Un didn't seem to be too far off either.
Sesshomaru could taste the hint of blood from the previous night's kill- er, dinner. Soon, he could see everything come into focus as his eyesight cleared. What troubled him was that his sense of smell, which was usually his strongest sense (thanks to being a dog demon), was... dulled; delayed; off. He scrunched his nose, trying to find the cause. Taking a good whiff, the strong aroma of cherry blossoms drafted into his nostrils.
Perplexed, he took another whiff to find the location of such flowers, finally deciding that it was in fact was very near. Looking down, his eyes widened slightly as he peered at his hair; the pink flowers were intertwined in his now braided silver locks.
A small giggle erupted from the young girl's lips at the sight of her lord looking so confused (and slightly pestered). She had pretended to be asleep for sometime now, just peering up at Sesshomaru with one eye open.
"Rin," The inu-youkai started, his voice calm (though his annoyed glances from the delicate flowers still scrunched nose said otherwise). "This is your doing?" He picked at the flowers; Rin opened both of her eyes.
"Yes milord! Do you not like them? I thought it would look nice." She chirped as cheerily as possible, flashing a grin in his direction.
"It dulls my senses." He said straightforwardly. The human girl frowned slightly, realizing that the flowers she had so cautiously had braided into his hair would just be torn out. More then that- she felt that she had upset him. The demon groaned inwardly at the next words that would grace his lips, gnawing at the inside of his mouth in the process.
With a sigh, Sesshomaru spoke. "I guess... I could keep it in... just for a short while."
Rin's frown had flipped to a wide, toothy smile as she laughed. "Thank you Sesshomaru-sama!" She said before leaning up swiftly to kiss his nose. And with that, she jumped up, deciding to go find breakfast.
Sesshomaru, meanwhile, felt himself suppressing another sigh. 'God... ' He thought to himself. 'Have I really gone soft for this puny, insolent human girl?'
Shaking his head at himself in pity, he lifted up his braided hair to inhale the scent of the blossoms once more.
