Sesshomaru's Story

Sesshomaru trekked through the deep, leafy forest in the middle of the night, hurrying to get back to Jaken and Rin. He didn't trust that filthy imp to take care of Rin for a few hours, let alone a whole day. The dog demon exhaled in relief as he found the two huddled together before a dying campfire, fast asleep. He quickly seated himself besides them, watching out for danger. Hours passed until it was almost dawn.

Rin peeked through her long girly eyelashes and found Lord Sesshomaru in front of her. Smiling with delight that her lord had returned to her, she closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep once more. But she couldn't because an odd screeching sound jerked her awake. Sitting up, the girl drew her knees to her chest, trembling slightly with fear.

"Do not be alarmed, Rin," Sesshomaru said, his voice as cool as always, "Whatever that is, it will not hurt you."

The screeching sound erupted into the night once more, causing the little girl to curl up with fright and rock back and forth in painful terror. Suddenly, there was a rustling in some nearby bushes. Sesshomaru stood up, protective of the two in front of him, and drew out his sword, ready to attack. But, nothing happened… They waited for a minute… They waited for 5 minutes… 10… 20… Suddenly, the creature popped out! Sesshomaru quickly rushed out to attack it, but then stopped, staring at it. The thing that had caused all that noise was some kind of short, fat, old, furry thing that looked half dead.

"Aw!" Rin exclaimed, forgetting her fear, "It's a kitty!!!" The girl rushed over to thing and picked it up, "It's so cute!"

Sesshomaru's eye twitched. It was a cat? Who would have known? "Rin, put that creature down."

"Why? It's just a cute little harmless kitten!" She cooed, pulling on the thing's whiskers and stroking it's tangled bushy white mass of hair that was supposed to be a tail, "Can I keep him? Please?" Rin stuck out her lower lip and made her puppy dogface.

"No, Rin!" Jaken spoke for him, "Don't be stupid, girl! There's no way Lord Sesshomaru can keep around that cat for he is a dog demon. Don't tell me that you are foolish enough to not understand that! Can't you smarten up for once to-"

"That is enough, Jaken," The dog demon spoke, making the imp go quiet at once. It was nice having power, "The creature is staying with us if that is what Rin wishes."

Jaken's mouth hung open in surprise, but he quickly bowed down and said, "Yes, my lord."

Rin giggled with delight, "Yay! You're going to be with us forever, Mr. Snugglepuss!"

Sesshomaru stared at the cat with hate in his eyes for a full minute without blinking. Finally, he turned around and inhaled deeply, "Let's go."

As the weeks passed, Sesshomaru grew more and more frustrated with that cat that Rin called "Mr. Snugglepuss". Rin grew way too overprotective of that animal in a way that was not reasonable for a young girl. She acted as though that cat was her baby or something. That cat was afraid of Sesshomaru, him being a dog demon of course, but soon he discovered that around Rin, Sesshomaru wouldn't dare hurt him, so the cat would tease him in ways that left him fuming in rage. For example, just that day that cat actually had the nerve to climb on his shoulder and paw at his ears, but scurried off to hide behind Rin, where he was safe, before the dog demon could pound that cat to his painful death. Sesshomaru was about done with that cat, but what could he do? Rin loved that cat in an unhealthy way… So, that means I have to be sneakier… Sesshomaru thought, eager to kill Mr. Snugglepuss.

That night, Sesshomaru came back to Rin and Jaken very late, for he had some "business" to attend to. It was so late that the stars had been long out and soon they would sink down and disappear. The full moon hung high in the sky, so close it was as though you could reach up and touch it. The moon's brilliant light shone a path in the midnight blackness, helping the dog demon find his way to the others, though he didn't need the moon's help for he knew Rin's scent anywhere. As the others came to his view, a bloody thirsty look gleamed into Sesshomaru's eyes.

Mr. Snugglepuss was wide-awake and he placed himself near Rin, for protection against Sesshomaru. The corners of the dog demon's lips curled upwards. "Rin isn't going to be able to help you this time," He whispered, not wanting to wake the girl and the imp. In one fluid movement, quicker than you can blink your eyes, Sesshomaru had snatched up the fat creature and in another blink; he was deep in the forest with the cat. Mr. Snugglepuss let out a loud whiny meow for Rin, but obviously, she couldn't hear him. Sesshomaru's smile widened to a grin…

Rin woke up in the middle of the night with a start. Something just wasn't right. She looked around for Mr. Snugglepuss for comfort, but she couldn't find him. The girl frowned; looking around for her beloved pet, but still couldn't find him. Not wishing to wake Master Jaken, Rin softly began to call out, "Here kitty, kitty, kitty… Mr. Snugglepuss, where are you?" When she got no answering meow, the girl started to move into the forest, worriedly searching for the cat. When she was far enough away from Jaken, Rin's voice grew louder and more desperate, "Mr. Snugglepuss! Mr. Snugglepuss! Where are you? Come back!"

The girl ran as quickly as her small twiggy legs would allow through the thickly densed forest, calling as a frantic mother would to her child. Suddenly, Rin stopped dead in her tracks as she heard a familiar screech. It was Mr. Snugglepuss! The girl quickened her pace, for she was definitely sure that her pet was close by. She screeched to a hasty stop, her feet sliding on the mossy ground. Her big brown eyes widened to an unnatural size, "Mr. Snugglepuss?" She whispered softly.

Sesshomaru stood stunned in his huge white youkai form, staring back at the little girl. The remains of the piteous creature, Mr. Snugglepuss, hung in his mouth. Only a big bushy white tail still stuck out from Sesshomaru's mouth, the only thing left of the cat.

Tears filled those deer like large eyes and then they spilled over as Rin began to hysterically cry, "You ate my cat!" She exclaimed, pointing a finger accusingly at Sesshomaru, "How could you eat Mr. Snugglepuss?" But then she said no more for her sobs took her voice away.

Sesshomaru spat the dead remains of the cat out and changed back into his human form, the taste of its tail still on his tongue, "Rin?" He said softly, trying to comfort her. But she wouldn't hear any of it. Instead, she moved away from him, and cradled her face in her hands, the tears dripping down from the cracks in her hands. The dog demon felt very uncomfortable. He never knew what to do around crying girls.

Suddenly, a loud, high-pitched sound filled the air and the bushes started to shake with the presence of something approaching. Forgetting about her sadness, Rin gasped and went to hide behind Sesshomaru, her face peeking out from his thigh to see what it was. Sesshomaru drew out his thin blade and scowled, prepared to battle. They both stood in anticipating silence as they waited for the creature to pop out. The minutes passed…

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeei!" The creature screeched, jumping out from behind a tree. And there it was! There, standing big tall and fierce was a- a bunny?

Rin squealed with delight and rushed out from behind Sesshomaru, scooping up the bunny in her arms and hugging it tightly, "Aw, you're so cute! I'm going to name you Mrs. Cottonbuns!" She cooed, tickling the small white furred, red-eyed creature under the chin, "Can I keep him? Please, please, please, Lord Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru sighed, exasperated. Here we go again…
