Jaken began to walk then stopped. Rin hadn't moved yet. "Come along," he told her. "There are chests for you to sort through."

"Chests?" Rin's mind ran away from her again. All of her worldly possessions scarcely filled a sack, never mind a chest. "How many?"

"They clutter several rooms," Sesshomaru said, and rather dryly.

Rin was speechless again, but only for a moment. Sesshomaru was moving in the opposite direction—back the way they came. She knew he had his reasons but called out to him anyway. "Won't you come inside with me?"

Fur obscured all but his eyes and hair when he glanced over his shoulder. "Tonight," he said, before flying away.


Sesshomaru's an outside dog, Rin. He'll be back though.
