"Little Toad, chill."

"SHUT UP!" Jaken screeched, still staring open mouthed at Rin the Puppy. She seemed very happy chasing her tail.

Sai watched her too.

"Aw! She's so cute! I hope her puppy lover likes her as much as I do!"

With an evil gleam in his eyes, Jaken pointed his staff at the sorcerer.

"Turn her back. NOW."

"No," Sai said flatly, "It was her wish, Toad."

"My name is Jaken!"

"Whatever. This is what she wanted. If I have the ability to give a sweet little girl her wish, why shouldn't I?"

Jaken grinded his teeth, "You are an IDIOT! This is NOT what she wanted!"

Sai frowned.

"You know, I did think it was kinda weird, her wanting to be a puppy and all. Seriously, who falls in love with a dumb dog? Well, actually I had an uncle on my mother's side that had an affair with a puffer fish…"

The sorcerer's yakking was beginning to unnerve him.

"You need to change her back!"

"… Love will prevail, I am sure of it! Why, if my uncle had had a talented spell caster like me around to help him maybe he wouldn't have died trying to mate that damn Isa. You know, 'cause puffer fish have poisonous spikes on their –"

Horrified, Jaken clasped his hands over Rin's floppy ears.

"SHE'S ONLY EIGHT, YOU SICKO! MY SESSHOMARU-SAMA IS NOT GOING TO MATE HER!"

Sai gasped at the daiyoukai's name.

"Did – did you just say… Se – Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Hai!" he said hotly, "And you, foolish ningen, have turned his ward into a mangy mutt!" Jaken tried to hold Rin in his arms, but she wouldn't stop squirming.

"Well, well, well, Toad," Sai said.

"JAKEN!"

"Whatever. How was I supposed to know she belonged to Sesshomaru? No how! She told me she was in love with a puppy, not a freakin' demon lord!"

Jaken pinched the bridge of his nose, "Just turn her back! And we'll pretend this all never happened!"

"Ha, good one, Toad! If only I could. You see, I'm still kinda new to this entire spell casting stuff…" he started to walk away.

"Where do you think you're going, Ningen?"

"Away," he answered simply, "You think this sorcerer is gonna stick around for Sesshomaru to come kill him? HA!"

"Correct," Jaken hissed, "Because I will kill you!"

Sai shook his head and grinned sadly. Then he pointed behind the imp and gasped.

"HOLY CRAP! It's Sesshomaru!"

"MILORD!" Jaken spun around to bow to him.

No one was there.

"Curse you and your trickery!" he turned back to see Sai vanish in a wisp of smoke. Now he would have to face his lord on his own.

He turned to pick up Rin.

But she was gone.

"HELL!"

Back at the camp, Sesshomaru was pacing in the clearing like a caged animal. He was debating whether he should just go and comfort Rin. He hadn't meant to be so harsh. She was, after all, his delicate little flower, who must be tended and nourished to grow to her full potential…

Potential? He thought, and then quickly tossed the thought away.

"Woof!"

Sesshomaru glanced down at a chocolate brown puppy.

"Shoo," he said to her, returning to his pacing.

"Woof! Woof!" He saw her tail wag so hard at the sound of his voice her entire bottom half shook with it.

As an inuyoukai, he could also understand the language of an ordinary dog. The 'woof, woof, woof!' of this pup translated literally to 'love, love, love!'

Sesshomaru paused again and frowned at her. Curious, he bent to pick her up in his arms. He gave the pup a sniff.

His eyes widened.

"Holy Mother of Kami!"
