Thank you for the reviews! And sorry the chapters keep being delayed. It'll probably be like this until I have a break from school with no homework. Sadly, this chapter is short like the last one. Blame my homework. There' so much writing and typing to do for it.

Rin was lost. She didn't know how, and had lost track of how long it had been since she was separated from Sesshomaru.
Rin stopped walking and looked around nervously. The forest she was walking through was dark and scary. She hoped that she would run into Sesshomaru soon, or even Shippo and his group. A howl rang out, and Rin huddled underneath a tree. This wasn't any fun at all. After a moment, the howling faded, and Rin ventured out from beneath the tree.
Deciding that she couldn't just hide and wait, Rin walked around the trees until she found a clearing. Emerging from the forest, Rin found herself in a quiet meadow, that was unfortunately devoid of anyone but herself. Sighing miserably, Rin settled down in the middle of the meadow, wondering what to do now.
A light silver flash caught her attention, and Rin looked up, half hoping that it was Sesshomaru. It wasn't.
A tiny little siver butterfly was hovering around Rin's head, apparently interested in her. Or her hair. The butterfly landed, where its wings fanned up and down, seemingly enjoying its spot on top of Rin's head.
Rin giggled. Even though she couldn't see it, the butterfly made her feel better. She wasn't alone. Rin looked around at her surroundings, and gasped in delight. The entire meadow was suddenly filled with countless silvery butterflies, all of whom were fluttering serenely. "Pretty..." Rin murmured, wondering for a moment if Jaken would believe her if she told him about this.
Rin stood up, happy again. The butterflies were so peaceful, and seemed friendly enough. A few of them had joined the first butterfly on her head. Others caught a ride on Rin's shoulder as she dashed around the meadow. When she grew tired of this, she sat down near a stream and held out a hand, smiling brightly when a venturesome silver butterfly landed on her outstretched hand. Bringing the butterfly close, Rin inspected it, before speaking softly, "Hello. Have you seen Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Rin."
Rin let out another gasp and looked up. Sesshomaru was standing a few feet away from her. Rin looked at the butterfly on her hand. "Thank you. Bye." Rin watched the butterfly drift away, before glancing back up to Sesshomaru. Rin stifled a giggle.
The silver butterflies seemed to have taken a liking to Sesshomaru, because they swarmed him and landed wherever they could. Soon, Sesshomaru resembled a bush that was covered in live silvery leaves. Sesshomaru didn't seem put off by this, and walked off, scattering many butterflies. Many still managed to doggedly hang on, and Rin skipped after him, the first butterfly she saw still on top of her head.
When they reached the edge of the meadow, the silver butterflies drifted off, and Rin waved good-bye to them. The butterflies seemed to understand, because all off them suddenly flapped their wings rapidly in Rin's direction, before resuming their night fly.
Rin followed happily after Sesshomaru, giggling quietly when she noticed that one butterfly was still clinging to Sesshomaru's hair. Rin decided to wait and see how long it took Sesshomaru to notice that it was still there.
Sesshomaru walked straight along a path, in the direction where Jaken had set up camp. Sesshomaru was wondering why Rin kept giggling at him. "What is it Rin?"
Rin, still giggling, replied, "There's still a butterfly in your hair."
Sesshomaru attempted to get the butterfly to leave, but it refused to let go of him. Amid Rin's laughter, Sesshomaru gave a light sigh. It was going to be a long night.

Still short, but I liked the butterflies. They're fun to watch. Review if you'd like. I will attempt to update this weekend, since I have no school on Friday (finally a day off). And I will attempt to make it longer, but I'll have to see how it turns out.
So, until next time, thanks for reading/ and or reviewing!
