Rin stared at the ground for most of the way back. Her face still warm despite the cool of the evening. She looked at Sesshomaru's muscular back and averted her eyes. She felt dizzy.
Jaken turned blue by the time they got to him. Sesshomaru stood there to take in the imps blue face and bulging eyes. The side of Sesshomaru's mouth turned up a fraction of an inch. Then he carefully took Ah Un and without the slightest bit of struggle moved him on his side. Jaken puffed back to life.
" Ooo THANK YOU MILORD! Thank you thank you thank-"
Sesshomaru moved so the imp wouldn't start kissing his feet. Rin smiled and said
"I'm glad you're better now Jaken!"
"Oh! You too Rin thank you for getting Lord Sesshomaru!"
Sesshomaru placed his armor on the ground and sat by the fire to dry off: he crossed his legs and closed his eyes while resting his arms on his knees. Rin quickly looked away and curled up with Sesshomaru's fur throw. Suddenly things were silent. Jaken stood there and looked from the girl to his master and back to Rin. He rubbed his chin. There must be something going on here…Usually she would have clung on to Sesshomaru and thank him as well…
He then discreetly sat by the fire opposite of Lord Sesshomaru. His lord was thinking about something. He knew this by being his faithful servant for so long. He saw his master's eyes open and glance to the side where Rin was supposedly sleeping again. He then stifled something in his throat and covered his mouth to hide a small smile. Jaken's eyes bulged. Did THE LORD SESSHOMARU JUST LAUGH?!
Jaken bonked himself, pinched his arm, and smacked his cheek. Oh dear, I haven't got enough air yet I'm hallucinating. That must be it.
"Jaken." Sesshomaru said now very serious.
"Y-yes milord?"
"…Why would a girl hug a tree?"
…
It had to be a hallucination. A dream. Some parallel universe.
