Man being in human form sucks I sighed and slowly trudged along as the full effects hit me, "It's hottttt. Why's it sooo hot?"

"Your butt is going to be hot in a minute if you don't stop complaining," Sesshomaru warned.

I swallowed hard, "Yes Sir."

"Welcome back!" Rin smiled at us.

"Master Sesshomaru!" Jaken greeted excitedly, before narrowing his eyes at me "Miss Sasshamaru."

"Good to see you too Toad-face," I replied, kneeling down to give Rin a hug. I saw Sesshomaru glare at me warningly over her shoulder.

I cringed inwardly and Rin looked at me, "You alright?"

"Yeah, of course, come on let's go," I smiled picking her up and setting her on Ah-un's back. She took a lock of my hair and examined it giggling, "Look you're like me now!"

I smiled and ruffled her hair, "In more ways then you think kid."She giggled again and Ah-un started to follow Sesshomaru.

"So now everyone will think you're my sister," She said excitedly.

"Rin I already think of you as my sister," I told her.

"Well now everyone will," she said matter-of-factly.

I smiled at her and soon she fell happily asleep.

I ran to the other side of Sesshomaru, "Could you maybe slow down a little why do we have to go so fast Sesshy my ankle hurts?"

He narrowed his eyes at me, "We continue."

"But it's so hot," I pouted.

He rolled his eyes at me, "Stop complaining or I will give you something to complain about."

I dropped my head in defeat pouting further, "Can we at least stop and get some water?"

"None around, keep moving," he ordered, "Rin isn't complaining."

"She's asleep and she's been riding Ah-Un this whole time," I hissed. He stopped and looked at me.

"I'm sorry," I whispered quickly looking at the ground.

"You're going to be keep it up. This is your final warning." I blanched and looked up only once I saw his feet moving. He looked extremely irritated. I sighed hoping wherever we were going, we'd get there soon.

We walked for a while in silence as I did my best to keep my complaints to myself before I saw it. In front of us about a mile away there was water and lots of it. Tr sun shown down glistening off the sparkling blue waves.

I smiled excitedly and couldn't help the happy squeal that escaped my mouth as I jumped up and down clapping.

I saw my older brother smirk with amusement out of the corner of my eye but when I looked at him he quickly hid it, "Such reactions are not appropriate of my sister and I will not tolerate it so you better straighten up at once."

I quickly stood up straight, and what I hoped to be elegantly, as I did my best to contain my excitement. I can't wait to jump in!

When we finally arrived I tried to make a dash for the water but I was tugged back by my kimono. I looked up at my brother and laughed nervously, "Please?"

Rin clambered down off of Ah-Un and tugged at Sesshomaru's kimono, "Can I go swim now Master Sesshomaru?"

He nodded and she ran excitedly to the water giggling the whole way.

"Oh come on see I reacted normally!" I whined.

He furrowed his eyebrows at me, "You are not a normal human girl, you are the daughter of the greatest ruler to ever live and more important the sister to a lord, act like it, and then maybe there will be time to play."

I nodded and mumbled, "'m sorry Sir."

He shook his head, "Unsheathe your sword."

"Can I at least get a drink first?" I asked.

He pulled his sword out quickly and swung it at me. I ducked, "Whoa okay so that's a no, got it."

He pointed his so word at me and I fell back onto the ground to avoid it, "I am not amused. You have five seconds before we finish this conversation elsewhere."

My eyes widened and I fumbled for my sword, knowing that the way I've ticked him off today I am probably just postponing the inevitable at this point but I hoped for my backside's sake that I was wrong.

I finally pulled it out and ducked away holding it in a ready position. I let out a slow breath trying to concentrate myself but I was just so hot and so thirsty and exhausted, "Im kind of hungry now too. Can't we just have one day off?" I asked hopeful.

I watched as Gris eyes turned fierce Uh-oh this can't be good.

He swung his sword forcefully and I quickly blocked it with mine. I managed to keep this up for a few more minutes but it was difficult since my ankle was still feeling pretty sore too.

"Come on Sesshy please?"

He growled at me and I glared at him, "Fine." I sheathed my sword once more and laid my stuff against a tree before collapsing on the ground and shielding my eyes from the sun with my right arm.

I laid there momentarily and I could sense him looming over me I just hoped he wouldn't attack if I was unarmed. I peeked out from under my arm and he crossed his. Hmm... That can't be good.

"What are you doing?" He asked angrily.

"I'm taking a break, outside of the water since I apparently didn't earn that yet," I replied just as angrily.

"Get up," He ordered.

"Sesshomaru please!" I whined.

Jaken had to add his comment, "Disobedient, ungrateful,"

"Shut up you stupid ugly fucking..." I whimpered as Sesshomaru grabbed my arm and yanked me up cutting me off.

"No Sesshy please!" I cried as he effortlessly threw me over his shoulder. I began my futile struggles and he landed a very forceful smack on my backside,"Owwww!" I cried out sobbing. That alone hurt enough, especially since I was in my human form, and I knew I was in for a lot more.

I was already sobbing uncontrollably when we got to a spot on an old tree stump, "Please Seshy Please I'm s-sorry."

Sesshomaru sighed and set me upright on his lap. He brushed the tears away and held my face between his hands, "Now hush I haven't even done anything yet." He rubbed my back and waited while I quickly calmed myself down.

"Please Seshy can you just give me another warning?" I asked.

"We both know where that leads," He said.

"Please just one more! I promise i'll behave I just need a break for a while please?" I asked.

He shook his head do you think you deserve one?"

"A break or a warning?" I asked.

"Either?" He answered.

I sighed and answered honestly, "No."

"You did not stop complaining even after I warned you. You disobeyed and disrespected me multiple times, you swore and continued to fight with Jaken even after I..."

"He started it though!" I interrupted. He smacked my thigh hard and I whimpered.

"What do you think our father would say if he could see you now?" He asked.

I shook my head and played with a string on his kimono.

"He would beat both of our asses and you know it, yours for being spoiled, and mine for allowing such a thing," He said.

I nodded knowing he was right, "I'm sorry Sesshy. I will accept this punishment and then I will do back out there and train graciously."

He tried to hide his smirk and sighed, "No you will accept this punishment then go out there and do the very important prestigious job of keeping Ron company. Tomorrow we will train."

I hugged him tightly, "Thank you brother."

I felt him smile and then I whimpered as he flipped me down onto his lap. Thirty painfully rough swats later I was crying quietly into his chest as he rubbed my back and rested his chin on my head.

"Hush Sasha it's over now, and you have more important things to be doing then sitting on my lap crying," He said pulling away from me.

I smiled and nodded. I would have probably been fine with just falling asleep on his lap but today he was allowing me to play in the water and that was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

I hopped off his lap, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek muttering. "Thank you," excitedly before dashing out to the water. I hopped in quickly washing my face to hide from Rin that I'd been crying and then ran to her scooping her up into the air as she giggled in my arms.
