Never Play With Poison Ivy

The day had begun in a completely normal manner for the trio of travelers. Rin had decided to go off and rick flowers while Jaken was supposed to watch her. Unfortunately for the little toad, he was a terrible babysitter. The one who normally watched Rin was Ah-Un, however since Sesshomaru had taken the dual-headed dragon with him, Rin was under the toad's sole supervision. Unfortunately for the two of them, that supervision was comprised of Jaken ordering Rin not to do anything, which she invariably did anyways.

"Don't touch that, Rin"

"Don't go there, Rin"

"Don't do that, Rin"

After a while, Rin became very tired with Jaken's constant denying of her fun. What she had really wanted to do that day was to play in the flower field, however Jaken said that the field was too dangerous. How flowers could be dangerous, she didn't know. Eventually, she decided to head out on her own.

Once Jaken was once again distracted, Rin began to slowly sneak out of his field of vision. Though it was slow progress, she eventually made it to the flower field without any problems. Once there, she spent the entirety of the day simply enjoying what she could do with such an abundant source of fun.

A large collection of flower bracelets, wreaths, crowns and necklaces later, Rin noticed Jaken calling for her. Though she didn't want to leave yet, she knew that Jaken had reasons for everything that he did, even if he was silly sometimes.

"Rin!" the little toad youkai shouted, looking for the little girl in the field of flowers, "You had better get back here before Lord Sesshomaru shows up, Rin!"

"This Rin will head right back!" the little girl in question replied, collecting all the things she had managed to make that day in her arms.

Rin was very careful walking back so as not to ruin all of her hard work. It had taken her a while to make all those decorations and she had made enough for everyone. Though it took her longer, she finally managed to make it back to the campsite with all her cargo in perfect condition. The odd thing was that once she got there, she was unable to find Jaken.

"Master Jaken?" she called, "Where are you? This Rin has a gift to give you."

A while later, Rin became tired of calling and decided to play with the flowers she had brought back. Though it took time, Rin took apart some of the wreaths that weren't properly done yet and put them back together, better than before. After a while, even playing with the wreaths became boring, and Rin became tired of waiting for Jaken to show up.

In the instant where Rin had given up on Jaken coming back, she heard a small noise coming from the bushes nearby. When she went to investigate, she heard a muffled voice coming from one of the plants. Just as she found it, Jaken burst out of the bush, muttering about irresponsible girls and not being supposed to be a babysitter.

"Master Jaken, are you all right?" Rin asked, wide eyed as she saw the toad's condition

"Of course I'm all..." Jaken began to feel a very persistent itch on his skin

"This Rin doesn't think so" the young girl replied, pointing out something on Jaken's skin

When the toad youkai turned to look, he saw a large amount of red bumps slowly spreading across his skin. Just looking at them made his arm itch unbearably. As he began to scratch, Jaken began to notice more itching and bumps all over his skin. A little while later, Jaken was rolling around on the ground, trying to scratch that irritating itch.

"You shouldn't do that, Master Jaken" Rin mentioned, "It seems to be making you worse."

"Why didn't you tell me that earlier!" Jaken said, irritated, "But how do I get rid of the itching!"

"This Rin believes that you should try washing the itchiness off" the young girl innocently replied

A few hours later Sesshomaru arrived to see Jaken completely soaked and covered with rapidly swelling red bumps. When he asked why, Rin was only too happy to tell him that Jaken had started itching when he touched a funny plant. Ignoring his vassal, Sesshomaru proceeded to warn Rin about the properties of the plant in question.

"Did the plant have it's leaves arranged in sets of three?" the taiyoukai asked

"Yep!" Rin said, "and when Master Jaken came out, he was all red and bumpy and itchy!"

"Rin, you must never touch that plant" Sesshomaru lectured, "It is called poison ivy and is dangerous to humans and weaker demons"

"All right Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin replied happily, "This Rin promises not to play with poison ivy like Master Jaken"

Ah-Un huffed at the toad youkai in question, as if to say, "Why didn't you take better care of Rin like you were supposed to?"

"Silly Master Jaken" the little girl said lightly, "These decorations will make you feel lots better!"

Rin then proceeded to decorate all the members of the traveling troupe with flower-based decorations. Jaken being the most decorated of all, due to his inability to tell Rin that he didn't want more, now that his tongue was swollen too much to speak at all.
