Rin had woken up to muffled noises
It was dawn
Last night, she recalled
They all had settled down and camped in the forest
It was uncommon for Sesshomaru to choose staying on land
for he rarely liked to stop moving
Strange
She was comfortable and warm finding Sesshomaru's throw draped over her
She smiled lovingly as she felt its soft fur
She then set out to find where the noise was coming from
MFFFNG MMNFF!
Ah Un snored on the opposite side of the campfire that had burned down to embers
Jaken was squashed underneath him
Rin eye's flew open now wide awake
"Jaken!" she ran to his side
Ah Un was deep asleep and would not budge no matter how hard she tried
"G-gert Sesh-oma-ru sama!" Jaken squaked
Rin flew to find their disappeared lord
Shessomaru was restless, too many thoughts prisoned his mind
He sought refuge alone
Since he had not cleansed himself during the day
He had gone to a small waterfall near their site
And let the cool water rush over his head, through his silver hair
Down his powerful back
He slammed his hand against the rock at his reflection showing through the running water
Everything was the same, his kimono wrapped around his waist, the markings on his skin
His armor that lay near the pools edge
And yet his eyes shown something different
They were softened… they held emotion
Too much to be comfortable with
It was
For her
Sesshomaru spun around at Rin who stood surprised upon finding him suddenly
They stared at each other in silence before she started to blush rapidly
She hid behind a nearby tree and timidly spoke
"M-my aplogies L-Lord Sesshomaru but Jaken needs our help."
Sesshomaru was surprised as well and did not speak
"H-he's trapped under Ah Un my lord" Rin tried to explain the situation more
Sesshomaru slowly made his way out of the water
To where Rin was
She pressed so close into the tree she didn't notice him coming beside her
He leaned against it and whispered to her
"Rin"
She drew back startled, her face now flushed a deep pink
It was his soaked hair
It was his glissening body
His eyes
She didn't know where to look!
