The Jaken Drabbles

Chapter 20: "And I, You."

"Let's go, Jaken," Sesshomaru snapped, glaring at the imp who was dragging at least a hundred feet behind him, "This Sesshomaru will not wait for you."

"I apologize, Milord. It's just I'm so tired. We've been walking all night. Can we not rest?"

"NO," he replied harshly. They couldn't stop now, not when Edo was only a mile or so off…

The imp groaned, "Wait for me…"

~oOo~

Jaken collapsed face first in the dirt.

"I can't do it! Forgive me, Sesshomaru-sama. Go on without me!" He waited for the growl of anger.

Minutes passed.

"Milord?"

No reply.

Where was he?

Jaken lifted his head, "Sesshomaru-sama?"" What was that PURRING he heard? It was awfully familiar. Glancing up into the trees, his jaw dropped at what he saw.

The inuyoukai hadn't been lying. He wasn't going to wait on the imp.

Jaken wasn't certain how much more of this cuddling he could withstand to watch. A thirteen year old Rin sat in Sesshomaru's lap, letting her long lanky legs dangle in the air beneath them. The mokomoko had instinctively wrapped around her, his nose wandered its way to bury itself in the locks of her hair.

"Have you been behaving yourself, Rin?" he whispered to her, running his hands down her spine.

And Rin smiled that same special smile reserved just for the inuyoukai, "Hai, Milord," and she planted a kiss on the hollow of his neck, "I missed you."

Sesshomaru breathed in her scent deeply, "And I you."
