Playful passtime chapter 5
Hiyas, I've been writing even though I've been on vacation, be happy! ;) Please check out my other fic, 'Death vs Fluffy'
which is a fic with a guestappearance by Death from the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. I wrote it along
with my best friend, and we're quite happy with it. It's short though ;)
Anyway, I did a little sketch for chapter 4 of where Jaken walks in on Sesshoumaru and Rin doing eachother's hair:

I might work on it in Photoshop, who knows?
Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, I'm so glad people think I'm doing a good job keeping Sesshoumaru IC! **lets out a
sigh of relief**

Rin carefully leaned forward, her eyes wide and alert incase anything, or anyone came close. Right now it was quiet,
but Sesshoumaru-sama had taught her to be careful, as most dangerous things knew how to sneak upon their victims without
making their presence known. So she kept still, clinging her precious cargo close.
She didn't like being alone. She had never liked it, not since loosing her family. She didn't want to loose the family
she had now, even though it was a weird one.
Her ears then caught the faint sound of footsteps, and Rin could feel her small shoulders tense. Someone, or something
was drawing closer! Her small fingers tightened around the item in her arms...
**SPLASH**
Sesshoumaru's delicate ears caught the sound of Jaken's spluttering and Rin's joyous laughter as he entered the gardens.
Since he himself had been busy as Rin asked for someone to play her strange games with her, he had ordered Jaken to amuse
the pup for now. As for what she had in store today he had no idea, and he arched an eyebrow as he found them among the
blooming orhcards next to the big fishpond. Jaken, soaked to the bone, was standing in a puddle of water, waving his arms
frantically at Rin who was doing her best at not breaking into fits of laughter at how comic the servant looked.
Sesshoumaru had to stiffle back a chuckle himself.
"Rin."
Upon hearing her master's voice the girl immediately brightened up, a big smile spreading across her face as her flew around
her when she quickly turned around.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!"
In a matter of seconds she had run over to him, her empty bucket still in hand.
"Rin and Jaken-sama are having a water fight!" she announced with a wide grin, pointing over to the annoyed toad
youkai who was wringing the water out of his clothes. Amused but not showing it, Sesshoumaru gave Rin a nod.
"I see."
"Jaken-sama was juuuust about to splash Rin, but Rin splashed him first because Rin remembered all the things that
Sesshoumaru-sama taught Rin!"
The pup was clearly proud of herself, and the youkai lord was glad that she at least knew she had to be quiet when
she was hideing. Otherwise it seemed like she didn't know that ears needed peace too.
But it was ok, she had spent several hours today practicing her writing, and pups needed to play too.
"Will Sesshoumaru-sama play with Rin and Jaken-sama now?"
Those eyes again. How were brown, big human eyes able to make his stomach clench that way? Why should he degrade himself
to splashing water on this pup and his servant?
"Rin, you shouldn't get too wet. It looks like it will get cloudy soon."
"So...?" Rin blinked curiously, obviously not comprehending.
"You'll get cold then, and you might get ill." Humans got ill way too easily, Sesshoumaru thought. Most of the time
it didn't bother him, but if Rin got ill, well... he would most likely have to keep her company. And a lord as himself
didn't have time for that!
"But it's sunny today, see?" Rin said and pointed up to the clear blue sky. Sesshoumaru was just about to protest to his
ward when his ears caught the sound of a splash right behind him, and the next thing he knew, he was soaked.
His regal robes clung to his skin, his hair dripped and stuck to the front of his face, and his usual soft and
fluffy tail would surely need alot of grooming and drying to get it back to it's normal state.
He dangerously turned his head to find the one responsible for this, and his eyes glared at Ah-Un who was splashing around
in the pond.
"Rin taught Ah-Un how to splash around so he could help Rin in the waterfight against Jaken-sama!" Rin said, not
seeing the agitated look in her master's eyes. More able to see the signs of Sesshoumaru's dangerous moods, Jaken
quickly took a few steps back.
This was simply great. Not only was his favourite garments soaked and probably ruined, his pond was now ruined by the
big beast of burden who was waltzing around in it, no wait, it was no longer a beast of burden: Rin had trained it to
be a stupid water canon.
"Get out of there," he commanded the big beast with a slight snarl, and it instantly obeyed, trampling through a couple
of flower-beds in the process to Sesshoumaru's great dismay.
"Jaken."
"H-h-hai, Sesshoumaru-sama?" Jaken asked as he took a step forward, bowing.
"Go prepare one bath for me, and one for Rin."
"Hai!"
Then the toad youkai scurried off to obey his master's orders, glad he had gotten out of the silly waterfight.
He just HATED to get wet, the youkai lord thought as he shook himself off like a dog, soaking Rin as he did so.
She giggled and picked up her bucket.
"Since that you're wet, can you have a waterfight with Rin, Sesshoumaru-sama?" she asked, holding up the bucket to him.
He idly watched it for a second, his eyes drifting over to the pond, then back to her. Well, since they were alone...
Before Rin got to register what was happening, he had snatched her up and tossed her into the shallow end of the pond.
She eeped, then blinked before looking over her shoulder at Sesshoumaru, who was crouched. His smirk was there, though
only if you knew how to read his almost stoic expressions.
At that Rin started to giggle, getting to her feet and got a better grip on her bucket as she filled it to get Sesshoumaru
just as soaked as she was now.
