"Why do you wish to destroy Naraku? Besides the fact that's he's an annoying twit, I mean."
Sesshomaru sighed. Whenever Rin had gone to her lessons, his attendant would always find her way into his study. She was currently distracting him by walking around his study on her hands.
"Does this Sesshomaru need a reason?" he asked, clearly irritated. The miko ignored this and continued. "No, I suppose not. But a reason is always good." She said, flipping back onto her feet. She walked a few steps before sitting in front of his floor level desk, legs crossed. "So, that being said, may I know your reasons?" she pressed.
He focused his cold eyes on her curious brown ones before looking back at his paperwork. "He tried to hurt Rin." She groaned and stood up. He watched as she paced before she smacked her hands on his desk, bent over to where they were at eye level, their faces a few mere inches apart.
"This is why she needs training, Lord Sesshomaru!" she cried exasperatedly before standing up again and pacing back and forth in his office. She stopped and turned to him, a crooked smile on her face. "Sorry, I just had to say my piece." She said before she resumed walking around his study on her hands.
He shook his head, hiding a small smile from her. She was proving to be amusing and endearing to him. The way she cared for Rin, as though the girl were her own daughter, Sesshomaru could only pray to find in a mate. He mentally scowled at this. He would not let his mind go down that track again. He was the great Lord Sesshomaru, he would not lower himself to mate with a human…just like he wouldn't lower himself to caring for a small human child.
I slowly eased myself back to my feet soundlessly. I carefully watched my Lord, who was glaring holes into his desk. He had been sitting like this for the past few minutes, a scowl on his face. I slowly crawled across the floor, afraid of startling him.
"My Lord?" I stage whispered.
Nothing.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" I said again, crawling closer, waving my hand in his face.
Still nothing, although the scowl on his face and anger and confusion in his eyes grew stronger as time progressed. I sat on the table in front of him and gently put my hands on each side of his face, bringing his eyes to mine. I fought down my blush as he heatedly stared at me.
"Sesshomaru? Are you okay?" I asked him quietly.
He blinked. "Hn, why wouldn't I be? This Sesshomaru is perfectly fine." He said. I raised a brow at him. "Are you sure? You've been sitting here for the past five minutes, glaring at your desk, and I am still awaiting my impending death for touching your person." I countered. He blinked ad looked me down then back up to my eyes. With the look he was giving me, it was impossible to hide my blush.
"Hn." Was all he said. I don't know how long we were sitting there like that when the door busted open and Rin came in giggling.
I quickly removed my hands from his face and turned to Rin, who jumped into my arms. "Lady Elizabeth, Lady Elizabeth! Rin was just learning how to read and Rin read a fairytale and had the bestest idea in the world!" she squealed. I smiled down at her fondly. Such a sweet girl.
"What was it Rin? I would very much like to know." I said, watching as her eye shone brighter. "Rin heard Sakura tell Master Chef that you like Lord Sesshomaru and Rin also heard some demonesses talking about Lord Sesshomaru's singleness and Rin thought that since you both want mates, you could mate each other and we could be a real family and Rin wouldn't be an orphan anymore! Then Rin could find a Mate and stay with you for forever!" she cried, dancing around the study.
Sesshomaru watched as his attendant's eye widened in horror and her face redden in utmost embarrassment. Rin looked at her and her face fell, tears almost coming to her eyes. "Lady Elizabeth, Lady Elizabeth! What's wrong? Don't you want to be with Rin for forever?" she said, crying. Elizabeth pulled Rin into her arms, avoiding the eye contact he was trying to make with her.
"Of course I do, Rin. Who wouldn't? You're such an amazing girl, I would be so lucky to spend forever with you." She said. Rin sniffled. "Then why are you upset, Lady Elizabeth?" she sniffled.
"Yes, why are you upset?" Sesshomaru asked with interest hidden in his voice. If she liked Sesshomaru and loved Rin, what was the problem? Not that he'd want to mate with her.
She set Rin down gently before bowing low. "I apologize, but I have business to attend to. Good day, my Lord, Rin." She stood up straight quickly before leaving. Sesshomaru sighed before he heard Rin clear her throat. He looked down at her, shocked to see that all her tears were gone. She was standing with her little hands on her little hips, something she picked up from Elizabeth no doubt.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you're letting her get away! Rin didn't just bring out the waterworks for no reason, did she?" she pressed. He felt his eyes widen slightly as she pulled him to her feet and pushed him down the hallway.
"Rin, you were faking?" he said. "Yes, Lord Sesshomaru. Lady Elizabeth told Rin that if she didn't want to be bossed around by men or wanted a man to do something, Rin should cry and make the man feel guilty so he will do what Rin wants." Sesshomaru blinked. He was not going to let the two have girl time anymore if this was the kind of thing she was teaching his not so naïve little Rin.
"Hn." He said before following the miko's scent out of the castle and into the forest. He could only hope she didn't do anything stupid beforee he could get there, like running into that stupid brother of his.
