Since Rin had left to take care of a few things in the village, Sesshomaru and Jaken had the privacy of her hut to themselves. The imp sat in the corner, twiddling his thumbs, watching his master dozing against the opposite wall. It was very weird, he seemed so peaceful whenever they came to visit Rin, Sesshomaru actually allowed himself to relax. She's always been capable of making him act in the strangest ways, Jaken thought, remembering Inukimi's words. Just like his father.
The relationship between guardian and ward certainly changed since they first met. Or maybe, it had always been this way, he just never noticed, until Rin finally became a woman.
Jaken shuddered. He could remember the exact day, time, and place he was when it started.

"Let's go swimming, Master Jaken!"
"Shut up, you insolence! I'm tired of listening to your demands!"
"C'mon! You're an imp; don't you know how to swim?"
His face flushed, "Of course!"
"Then let's go silly!" the twelve year old Rin ran out Kaede's hut, heading to the river. Jaken stumbled after her.
"Kagome-chan!" she shouted, "Master Jaken and Rin will be back!"
The young miko looked up from her garden and waved. On the fence beside her was Inuyasha, and even further behind him a stoic daiyoukai stood hidden in the shadows. He watched his young ward for a moment, and then followed. Knowing very well Jaken couldn't swim, Sesshomaru thought it necessary to keep an eye on them.
"Rin is gonna beat you, Master Jaken!"
"Silly girl, we're not racing!" he wheezed.
She laughed, reaching to untie the red obi around her waist. She threw it in the imp's face.
"Last one in is a stick up Ah-Un's butt!" she called, pulling off her kimono. Of course, Jaken had seen her naked several times now, but, thankfully, he'd gained some composure over the years (plus his sexuality preferences were questionable). Rin wasn't a modest child, this was Jaken, her care-giver, and there was no reason to be embarrassed.
With a running leap, Rin swan-dived into the rushing rapids of the river, resurfaced, and spouted water like a fountain.
"Come in!"
He glared at her as she backstroked, "Be careful!"
Rin rolled her eyes, "You're no fun!"
Jaken sat on his rump on the banks of the river, still glaring at her as she splashed around happily. He must've sat there for nearly an hour, utterly bored, when she suddenly appeared beside him.
"Master Jaken, what's this?" she stuck out her hand, which was dripping in a massive amount of crimson red blood.
The imp fainted.
"Master Jaken…?" she cocked her head, then looked up, "Oh, hello Sesshomaru-sama! Do you want to swim with Rin?"
The dog demon's face noticeably paled at the sight of her hand and the area between her thighs. His nostrils flared. Inuyasha appeared behind him, having smelt blood, drew Tessaiga.
"Hey, Rin, are you alirriiiiii….. WHOA!" the hanyou quickly look away.
Rin was confused.
"Sesshomaru-sama, why is Rin bleeding?" again she held out the hand.
He had to admit, she was taking this well.
"Put on your kimono, this Sesshomaru will take you back to the miko."
"What about Master Jaken?" she pointed to the unconscious imp.
"He'll come around… eventually."

"I'm home, Sesshomaru-sama!" the older Rin called. Without opening his eyes, her purred his greeting at the sound of her voice.
"I visited Kagome-chan today. She had her second child."
"Hn."
"And Sango's youngest just turned five yesterday. He's so cute!"
"Hn."
"Sesshomaru-sama, let's have a baby!"
The daiyoukai's eyes snapped open wide, just in time to see Jaken faint again.
