Just Some Random Fun

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and Company. Also this story, or series of events are a result of boredom from two very talented authors. I'm hoping to have several chapters with maybe a chapter a different set of characters.

Sesshoumaru stands outside on the windy summer night, a light breeze blowing as the leaves of the cherry blossom flutter in the wind and create waves in his tail and hair. Rin steps out onto the porch silently considering she's suppose to be sleeping. She stands there watching her master. A whiff of the air alerts him to the presence of Rin. He ponders on how many years it has been since he had first encountered the girl and rescued her from the very servants of death from taking her to the underworld, he looks to his sword Tensiga then turns and makes his way towards Rin. Rin watches him silently through half hooded eyes and bangs.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" She whispers into the cool night air, knowing very well that he could hear her whisper.

"Hmm? What is it Rin? You're not usually up this late at night. Something troubles your sleep?" His voice is cool and on the outside appears to carry no sense of care, but being with her for so long he cannot help but do such.

"I..." She hesitates knowing how much he hates signs of weakness, so she lies through her teeth. "I'm fine...I just couldn't sleep." She looked over her shoulder at her 'supposed' guard, Jyaken snoring loudly next to the door, the staff of two heads across his lap. He looks up at the somewhat useless servant of his. If it were immediately possible to find another of his caliber he would be rid of the fool quickly, but he turned his attention back to Rin.

"Why would you have trouble sleeping? Aside from Jayken's constant snoring." He raises his eyes coolly.

She smiles slightly "I just....couldn't...do not worry about me Sesshoumaru-sama." She stepped off the porch, her bare feet making no sound. Rin walks out into the garden toward the mini wild flower field. A sudden gift from her master. A gift to make her feel less alone when she wasn't allowed to travel with him and was forced to stay in the manson. She smiles in remembrance of the old days when they traveled and she would pick flowers and try to give them to him.

"When are you going to look over your lands again Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asks not even bothering to turn around.

"Someday but there is nothing of real importance out there as of now, so I shall not bother with it." He turns around seeing she has gone to the flower beds and for once actually takes notice as to how much she has grown over the years and the quality of her dress.

"I will make note to Jyaken to fetch better clothing for you, these rags will not do." He lets his eye roam over her cotton tattered kimono.

"They are okay Sesshoumaru-sama." She kneels and picks a flower. "After all I'm nothing." She turns to him and smiles. "Don't you have a meeting with one of those minor youkai lords from your lands tomorrow?"

He huffs at the though of meeting those worthless dogs. It makes him think as to why he meets with them at all, after all, he best them ten fold in strength. But his mind could not stay focus. Why was Rin suddenly the center of his thinking at the moment, it was not making any sense, but he would certainly not let it show. "Some time later, but certainly not tomorrow."

She looks at him in surprise and raises her eyebrows in question as she rises, snuggling deeper into her stolen sleepwear. Her free hand reaches up and touches the red near the collar while she walks back to Sesshoumaru and hoods out the single flower. He looked down at the offering handed to him, a similar sight seen many times before, he simply ignores it but gives second glance to it.

"That flower. Wear it in your hair for me."

"Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama." Carefully she slips it over her ear and smiles up at him. "Like that Sesshoumaru-sama?"

He does not give an answer but certainly his expression hints to her his approval. He takes another whiff and realizes the kimono she is wearing has another scent.

"Where did you get this kimono?" He reaches out and touches the sleeve of his own haori.

Blushing deeply she looks down. Rin holds up the sleeve with the mended tear in it. She looks down to the ground.

"I got it from one of the servants, he was throwing it away. She continues to stare at the ground. "It helps me sleep."

He remembers a kimono he wore occasion as the mended tear jogs his memory. He looks down at the one he wears now and sees how alike they really are.

"That use to be a kimono of mine and it helps you to sleep?" He was completely confused as he had been since he first met her. Why does she care for me so while I'm so cold to her? He thinks to himself as he continues to look her over.

She nods still looking at the ground. "It smells like you."

"Tell me Rin, why is it that my scent does this to you?" Strange for him to be intrigued by something of this nature, but his curiosity got the better of him. He cursed mentally.

"Your smell is comforting. I feel safe with you near, but lately you've been so far away that I couldn't find. I've had to find some other way to sleep. Besides it's soft." She stops suddenly realizing she was rambling, something else he didn't like and gazed down at her feet again. He still could not fully figure as to why this girl wants to follow him. He gives no true hint of caring for her well being, but maybe because of her estrange persistence she's found some soft spot in his darkened heart.

"Rin, you are an enigma to me." He does something rather odd, something against his usual behavior. He kneels and holds her chin lightly in his hand just looking. Startled she doesn't move from his grasp.

"Sesshoumaru-sama." She mutters quietly her eyes glaze over and she bits her lip trying to keep from cry, although she doesn't know why. She didn't want to cry especially in front of him. He grazed his thumb over her cheek. She was quivering slightly as if to hold back something, typical as she would never express a weakness feelings in front of him. Such a strange devotion. But one I can say I appreciate. Sayings so as to reference the youkai lords, despite their loyalty to him they are never truly devoted as this girl is.

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" She whispers almost inaudibly. Her hands drop to the side letting the loosely tied haori top gape open slightly.

His gaze slowly moves down from her face as he notices her haori is loose, then it dawns on him truly how much she has grown. Merely by her attitude she is the same as when he met her but she had changed and he took no notice till now.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!? Is something wrong?" Rin asks almost frighten as she notices the slight flush creeping over her lords cheeks. Scared he wasn't feeling well or that he was angry with her, she took him by his hand and dragged him quickly back to his chambers. She opens the door then bows, quickly run/walked away from him back toward her own room.

"Rin come here." He understands her actions but certainly was not done with her, she had peaked his curiosity to levels of that which he had long since banished with knowledge. She stops mid-step and turns to look at him.

"I'm sorry Sesshoumaru-sama, I'm tired now." She chirps happily with a wide, fake yawn and turned again running down the rest of the hall and into her room. Slamming the screen shut she throws herself onto her futon and cries.

"That girl is a true enigma. Why is it that I cannot understand her?" That very question burned through his mind, what is it about this girl that makes her so difficult to truly know?

Rin fell into a fitful sleep. Dreaming about her parents deaths, the villagers ignoring and beating her, and the wolves attacking and ripping at her flesh. She threw her head to the side and whimpered. Not even his smell could help her sleep in peace this night and the dream was so deep that she couldn't pull herself out of it. The one thing that pledged her rang in her dream again and again, her lord leaving her. Causing her to be alone. Something she was so scared of, even when he went away there was still Jyaken, but he was little comfort.

Rin tosses and turns moaning almost painfully in her sleep. Sesshoumaru crept down the hall towards Rin's rooms, moving with great stealth, he peers into her room watching as she tossed and turned in her fitful sleep

"Why would she suddenly leave like that, this is very unlike her." Sesshoumaru pondered to himself, determined to find an answer. He remained in the shadows thinking of some means of divulging his answer. Rin suddenly cries out in her sleep,

"Sesshoumaru-sama please don't leave me." she reaches out to an unseen Sesshoumaru but her hand both in her dream and physically catch nothing. The youkai lord stepped further into the room and knelt at Rin's bedside.

"Leave you..." It was strange to him at first but it did not take him long to get the picture. With Rin being around him so much, it dawned on him that leaving her would cause untold suffering to her, though he never gave such a thing any thought. Rin's struggles with herself trying to keep from falling into darkness. She tosses and ends up to close to the edge of the bed, her sheets tangled around her body. Though Sesshoumaru could not see into her mind, he could tell this dream...nightmare was exacting terrible pain onto her, and strangely he was beginning to feel something he'd never felt, sympathy.

"Me feeling sorry for her? She's just a straggler I saved but...She's the only one who stayed of her own will..." Rin sits up suddenly as she's able to rip herself from her nightmare. Unknowing of Sesshoumaru's presence she buries her face in her hands and cries. Fighting with himself, for the first time, he's actually not sure of what to do. New feelings conflict with his stern and uncaring nature. But these new feelings suddenly overtake the demon lord and he finds himself putting his arms around Rin drawing her close to him, not saying a word. Startled Rin stiffens the relaxes in his arm, her tears still rolling down her face. Shaking now she looks up at her lord's face.

"Sesshoumaru-sama..." she says hesitantly then flings her arms around his neck burying her face in the soft skin of his neck. Sesshoumaru is not particularly startled by this action, but then again it's quite foreign to him, then he finally asks the question that may answer everything for him.

"Why?"

Rin pulls away just far enough to look into his golden eyes. A confused look crosses her face and she whispers hoarsely, "Nani?"

"Why do you follow me so loyally and for nothing other then to be ignored by me, it makes no sense." He asks in his usually cool voice, his eyes fixed on her. She blushes slightly and looks down.

"You saved me." She stated simply as if it was obvious.

"Is that it?" He was rather dumbfounded by how simple the answer was.

She carefully looked back up into his face. "And because I...I..." her eyes water. She lets out a bark of laughter. "I'm foolish, please forgive me Sesshoumaru-sama."

"Foolish? How so?" He stood back to let Rin sit up on her bed as he awaited her answer. Rin sat on the edge of the bed slightly disappointed at the loss of his warmth. Crossing her legs she looks down to make sure she was properly covered then looked back at him.

"To think that I could love a youkai lord and have his love in return."

The very word love struck Sesshoumaru, more so then would his hated brothers Tetsusaiga, he was deeply bothered by it as the very feeling had not truly registered in his own being, "Love..."

"Hai, my lord." she blushes softly and looks down at the ground. "I love you." She laughs. "You taught me how to defend myself in hopes of riding yourself of me but I stayed. I couldn't leave. Even though I knew you would never love me back." She stands and walks to where her katakana lay on her vanity. She touches it lightly. "I don't think I could ever leave. Please, Sesshoumaru-sama don't make me leave."

He didn't answer for several moments, though it not proper for a youkai of his caliber to truly be effected in such a way. He felt like a child and he didn't like it. " Of course not, I couldn't make you leave if I told you to, you'd die by my very hand before doing such a thing..."

She turned and looked at him. "Would you kill me, my lord."

"I suppose I would, but I did save you from death..."

"Why?"

Now for once he was speechless, his face contorted slightly with self disgust as he suddenly found himself saying something one would never find him to say, "I don't know." Rin's eyes went wide at hearing those words. She had never thought that she would ever hear him say those words. "Thank you." She said slowly as if unsure.

"A thank you would be empty at this point...my mind is clouded with strange things, that which brought about my actions so long ago. I've ignored them as I did you and now they come back to insight vengeance with confusion." He speaks placing a hand on his chin, his resolve was slowly beginning to melt.

"I'm a woman now. I'm still not quite sure what that means and all but I do know that I can hold my own against my enemies." She paused as if to think, "I do admit Jyaken is annoying but he does like me, at least a bit." She smiles softly.

" A woman you say? True your body has grown, a fine example may I add, but I still see the little girl I saved all those years ago...loyal and unafraid." Now random words were coming from him, if one was not mistaken then one could assume that another person had stepped into the place of the Youkai Lord. She nods as if in understanding but inside she's still trying to figure out his words.

"If you think me as but a little girl then I know for sure that you could never love me." As if making a heartbreaking decision she say cheerfully, "My lord you still have that meeting with that lord. You should go rest."

Sesshoumaru remained quiet then but took in her words. He suddenly found himself taking her arm and drawing her closer to him, not forcefully but then again she would never object, he gazed into her eyes, those eyes of his burning into her soul before his lips suddenly finding their way to her's. Rin's eyes widen then drifted close as she responds and kissed him back. Her arms wrapping themselves around him, pressing herself closer to him. As soon as their kiss deepened, Sesshoumaru pulled away, leaving the starry eyed Rin in the middle of incomplete bliss.

"The youkai lords can wait." He turned and left all the while pondering her next move.

Rin feeling hurt beyond words shouts, "Are you so WEAK of a youkai that you can't even finish what you started?!"

A grin formed on his face, his confusions of earlier were now turning into amusement, "Then what do you wait for? Challenge me." He kept his back to her. Rin goes back to her vanity and pulls the katakana from its sheath. She holds it in front of her as she had been taught.

"Fight me. If I win you finish what you started."

"As you wish." A flick of his hand the ribbon of energy flying towards the girl, a small grin hidden in plan site on his face. She holds the sword to block the attack and surprisingly does so. With soft running footsteps she charges him katakana pulled back ready to attack. The door to the mansion flies open and Sesshoumaru and Rin are seen flying out of the door. Rin's blade set to attack, but his composure is cool as always as he waits for her to draw near. With a quick twist of her footing she flips over him and swings toward him. He grasps the swinging blade in his hand, and throws it aside as he moves to catch her in mid flight, his arm holding her tightly as they slowly descend to the ground. Rin knowing defeat is near grows unusually limp in his arms.

She acts as though the death blow is near, he thinks to himself and decides to make things even more interesting. He nuzzles the back of her neck, feeling slight trembles coming from her.

"My scent does well on you..."

"But i have loss."

"But you never stated the conditions of my own victory"

"And what is it my lord wishes of me?" She asks in a meek voice.

"To be mine...." He accented his words with a feathery touch to the back of her neck, before turning her around and reclaiming her lips. Has a dreamy look in her eyes and this time Rin threads her fingers though his soft hair and holds him tight to her.

The night was passing quickly, the full summer moon slowly sailing over the sky. Sesshoumaru broke the kiss again but rather then walking away he held her to him, his arm securely wrapped around her.

"You may accompany me on my travels as you wish." He spoke as the breeze blew again, his silvery hair and magnificent tail flowing in the wind.

"I will follow you anywhere, my lord." She nuzzles his neck with her nose. She then whispers, "I love you." He does not reply, but he need not to. The moon shown strangely bright this particular evening as if heralding something great. Even if to Sesshoumaru it being an end to wondering. Rin looks up at him.

"I guess I should get some rest now..." she looks down again running her hands down his sides felling the silk of his haori and his tone sides under it.

He nods, "The day will be quite long and bothersome, are you sure you can endure it?"

Rin yawns widely and slumps slightly against him. "I'll be fine."

With a glance a bench appears out of the earth, with Rin still in his arms he takes a seat with her secure and comfortable on his lap.

She snuggles close to him. "Promise me something." She whispers almost unheard.

"Promise what?" "To make sure that toad doesn't interrupt us again?" Her eyes narrow as she glares at the approaching toad-youkai. She folds in on herself trying to hide her half-naked state. "..."

Annoyance forms on his face as he spoke telepathically to the toad, "You have business else where do you not?" Jyaken moves from his hiding spot as his two head staff became visible, he bowed and squabbled apologizes as he took his leave.

"I swear one day I'm going to make a stew out of him." Rin mutters, but yawns again and her eyes droop close. "Don't ever leave me, please."

"How can I? I'm already all over you." He spoke again closing his eyes letting the moonlight beat on his face.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I know that its kind of strange way of writing a story but please R+R!!!! Gomen!
