A/N: Still attempting to figure out how to format this right... Get ready for some fun with our favorite meddling children! ^-^
It had been a week since the dining hall incident. A week since the servants started talking. A week since Lord Fluffy's collapse. And a week since Kagome started acting kind of strangely. Now, Rin wasn't stupid. She knew something was up. But what could distract the whole castle, including her stoic lord? Rin frowned, racing around the next corner. She was currently playing tag with a few of the servant's kids, hiding away in the west wing. Really, hiding was the only way she would possibly win the game, so why not? She swerved expertly around a servant carrying towels, going right past a room filled with books and...
Wait WHAT?! Rin stopped short and turned around, peeking into the room. Sure enough, Sesshomaru and Kagome were looking over books, looking happier than ever. Rin grinned mischeviously, clapping her hands silently. To anyone else, it would seem like the two were just going over paperwork or something stupid like that. But Rin, who knew the pair better than anyone in the castle, could not only see the truth, but was already planning. She'd finally have her Mommy, and it'd be Kagome! She barely held back from squealing right then, quietly tiptoing away. None of the youkai princesses were worthy of her lord, not to mention they didn't really love him.
She skipped off to her room, met halfway by Kyoshii, one of the servant's kids. Said youkai child stopped short of tapping Rin's shoulder when she made no move to run away. The youkai child blinked twice, taking in the glowing smile Rin held. Her auburn her suddenly seemed much more like a real flame, and the room heated up. Kyoshii could tell, Rin was planning something, and she wanted in. "The hideout?"
Rin nodded, and the pair linked hands, bolting for the fourth floor library. By the time they got there, the servants were long gone. They had learned the hard way. When Rin and Kyoshii were giggling like that, you run away as fast and far as you can.
Rin burst into full out laughter when the next servant that came into view attempted to scramble away. This servant, Akira, had always been the slowest of the bunch, and therefore the girl's favorite unwilling cohort. The brunette was wearing a simple cotton kimono in light brown to match her chocolate eyes and hair, which went to the small of her back. She groaned when the two kids caught the edge of her kimono and dragged her into the library, still grinning maniacally.
Kyoshii held Akira, while Rin pulled out a book from the shelf, triggering a classic secret room's opening. Actually, they had discovered the room on accident when Rin pulled a random book to teach Kyoshii to read. Needless to say, that had been their favorite hiding place ever since. It was a relatively plain room. Just stone walls and a wooden floor, with coloring books, paper, and crayons Kagome had brought littering the floor. Along with a small circular table with three stools around it.
Akira sighed when the door closed. The two girls had yet to tell her how to get out. And it seemed as if they never planned to. She took a seat by the table, facing the devious kids. You'd never know they could be so evil, with how cute Kyoshii was in her green kimono, matching Rin's orange. The servant folded her hands in her lap, slumping on her stool. Her voice was defeated. "Alright. What's the plan?"
Rin and Kyoshii high-fived wearing identical cheshire cat grins. Rin pointed to a piece of paper she had been working on. "You know how Rin has been looking for someone to be her Mommy to Fluffy's Daddy role." Akira gave a cautious nod. She already didn't like this idea. Rin beamed, tapping the paper. "Well, you'd never know if you didn't know him, but I found out who he likes during tag, a complete accident..."
Akira sighed at the ridiculous plan. She knew it would work; Rin's plans always worked, but she had yet to name the female Sesshomaru was supposedly in love with. Kyoshii decided to ask the excited child the important question. The redhead raised a hand. "Uh, Rin, who's the girl?"
Rin suddenly burst into a fit of giggles. "You seriously couldn't tell by my predictions?" Kyoshii gaped when recognition flashed past her eyes. Rin just giggled again. "I know, right?! it's so unexpected, but perfect! It hadn't even occured to me until I saw them together!"
Akira groaned and slapped her forehead. It was kind of obvious, only one female in the whole castle would react as Rin had written on her planning sheet. She wasn't sure about Rin interfering, though. Would it work? Rin stared intently at Akira, as if sensing her unease. She frowned, crossing her arms and waiting for Akira to speak. The servant sighed, with Kyoshii looking between the two. "Are you sure it's a good idea to interfere?"
Rin slammed her fist to the planning sheet. "YES! I don't want some stuck-up proper princess as a Mother! And there is no way Fluffy will confess on his own!" Kyoshii folded her arms and nodded in agreement.
Then the youkai child grinned. "We'd better start if we want this operation to finish before the ball."
Rin gave a cute giggle-cackle. "Oh Akiiiraaaa.~" The servant paled. Well... shit.
A/N: Le gasp! What's got Akira so scared? Stick around to find out! ;D
