A few nights later they lodged in an abandoned castle, the passed human occupants had left the place in shambles. That was no bother, as it kept the rain out well enough. Jaken tended to Ah-Un as Sesshomaru followed Rin about the rooms. "Oh master, this should be your room!" She said sliding open the doors and revealing a large empty room, its walls barren and its floor rotten.
"And where shall your room be?" He asked looking at her with no argument to his sleeping arrangements. She skipped on down the hall until she threw open the doors to another room. This one was small and equally barren. Its floors had holes where the wood had rotted away and there was a leak in the corner.
"This one shall be mine." She beamed up at him.
"This will not do." He said with a soft nod for her to continue looking. She searched through most of the estate, the rooms all seemed to be in similar shape and finally she stopped and turned to look at him.
"Well then you pick one." She said taking his hand. He turned and walked back to his designated room.
"Share mine." He said pushing open the door and stepping inside.
"As you wish master." She bowed deeply before him before she began skipping about the room.
"Rin come here." He said as he sat in the middle of the floor. She ran over and plopped down next to him. He reached up and undid her hair from the pony tail it was in allowing it to fall about her shoulders. He began running his fingers through it, untangling, and pulling things from it like leaves and grass. When finally he was done he did it back up in a nice neat pony tail.
"Thank you master." She said turning to him. "My turn." She beamed and moved behind him. He was unsure what she was doing, but her fingers were deft in their task and she was done shortly. He had a beautiful neatly done braid in his long white hair.
"Thank you Rin." He said softly. "Now we shall rest for the night." He said as he leaned on the wall.
"No no Master." Rin chide with a smile. He looked at her patiently. "You must sleep up there." She pointed to a raised platform in the room with a veil surrounding it. It was riddled with holes but still hanging. He got up and went over, brushing the thin curtain aside to reveal a moth eaten sleeping mat. He toed it out of the way and pulled the veil down easily tossing it on top of the mat before sitting with his back against the wall. "No no master." She laughed and went over to him. She began taking off his fluff and his armor. He did nothing to stop her as she removed all his clothing until he was just down to his billowy pants. "Now lay down." She directed him. He did as she said. "Isn't that better?" She asked beaming. He reached out and grabbed her, pulling her against his bare chest and holding her tight. He buried his nose in the crook of her shoulder, inhaling her scent before kissing her neck.
"Yes this is better." He smiled.
"Master-" She murmured.
"Hush Rin, let me rest." He said before falling asleep.
