Notes: Companion to the previous drabble. Yes, they are very similar at the beginning.

Jin couldn't believe this.

The whole entire scenario was just…unbelievably weird.

How in the hell did he end up working for some old human guy in the on a farm?

Jin was pretty sure that it had something to do with getting drunk and gambling with Chuu, but he couldn't really remember all that clearly…Not that it mattered, he would just have to beat up Chuu once he got back to Makai.

But first, he and Touya had to figure out how to milk the goddamn cow!

Jin glanced over to his left, giving the ice demon a doubtful glance. "Do ya really think it'll be easy, then?"

Touya pursed his lips and surveyed the mammal calmly standing before them and the bucket and stool sitting at his feet. "It can't be that difficult…the old man said we just sit down next to it…um, her, put the bucket underneath, and then gently pull on those…um, things."

Jin gave Touya a confident nod. "Shouldn't be too difficult then!" He grabbed the bucket and the stool and bounced over to the cow. He happily placed the bucket underneath the animal and pulled the stool underneath him. The wind demon stretched out his arms and cracked his knuckles as his friend cautiously came over to join him. "Remember," Touya reminded Jin, "The human said to be a little cautious around her. She's supposedly a little…sensitive."

Jin shrugged. "I'll be tryin' to be careful, then."

Touya held his breath as Jin bent down and cocked his head at an angle so he could see what he was doing. He reached a hand out towards the cow's udder…

…and pulled.

Two seconds later Jin found himself flat on his back, having burst through the barn doors and causing them to buckle and split. He slowly and painfully sat up and pulled up his shirt to observe where the cow's hooves had pounded his chest.

Jin didn't think those bruises would fade anytime soon.

Damn Chuu.

When the grumbling redhead entered the barn five minutes later, he was greeted with Touya, who walked up to him and handed him a bucket full of creamy white liquid.

Jin stared into the bucket dumbly as Touya, smirking, walked out into the sun.
