A/N: sorry guys, I know it's been forever but I've been so busy with school.

Cake

Rin was so happy, today was father's day! She was baking Sesshomaru a cake; she would surprise him with it once he came home from work. She hoped he would like it; she had worked long and hard on it. It was a vanilla cake, with maroon frosting; she had mixed the colors herself. Then she carefully spelled out Happy Father's Day on it in white icing. She covered the cake with a cloth and went to go change into a nicer outfit. She looked out of the window, just in time! Sesshomaru was walking up the driveway. Rin ran to greet Sesshomaru at the door and he eagerly told him that she had a surprise for him.

"Not now Rin." Sesshomaru said tiredly putting down his stuff. He must've had another hard day at work because he was rubbing at the side of his head and muttering to himself.

"But Sesshomaru,"

"What Rin?" He said in a harsh tone. Rin's face fell and she shrugged.

"Never mind; it doesn't matter." Rin said softly, she turned to go up to her room but Sesshomaru stopped her.

"I'm sorry Rin. Go ahead, what is it that you wanted to show me?" Sesshomaru said in a gentler tone. Rin still felt a shattered by what had just happened but she still went over to the cabinet and unveiled the cake. Sesshomaru didn't say anything at first and that only helped darken Rin's mood, but then he smiled. Actually smiled!

"Thanks Rin, you just brightened my day." Rin smiled back feeling happy again. "Why don't we have a piece?"

"Really?" Rin asked her smile widening. She wasn't usually allowed any type of sugar. Sesshomaru each of them a piece and then asked if she wanted to share with the neighbors. Of course she had said yes.

Rin took her plate with her piece of maroon and white cake and picked up her little glass of milk. She was so excited, the cake was sure to be delicious. She could almost taste the moist dessert on her tongue. Rin started to get a little tickle in her nose but it went away. Two seconds later she sneezed so hard that her body jolted forward and worst of all, her piece of cake flew straight into the trashcan.
