sess: i could care less.

faith: hey! that's what i say to my brother when he shows me something stupid like a stupid gameboy!

Aki: um... guys... aren't you eating up all my tme with sesshumaru-sama?

Aki: (falls on the grass anime' style) ehhh. sorry, got carried away.

'Aki? is that you?'

Aki:(turns around to see a very happy looking Moose) / you know, ranma? the duck?/ moose?

Moose: oh, Aki, i missed you so much! (runs to give her a hug and maybe a little kiss)

Aki: AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

sess: (grabs Aki's hand and pulls her away from Moose)

Moose: (kissing a tree 5 feet away from them) i love you so much!

Aki: Ba-ka! (idiot)

sess: (still holding Aki close and looking at the Baka Moose)

Aki: (looks at their position) AA!!!! IYA, sesshumaru-sama, i didn't know you had it in you to make the first move!

Aki: Baka!

(silence)

back at sengoku:

faith: girls, is it me, or am i getting bored?

Akina: nope, it's boring.

Rem: what can we do to pass the time?

Malia: i don't know...

faith: how 'bout we play Trick or Treat?

kag: what's that?

faith: it's a mixture of spin the bottle, truth or dare and hehehhehe, STRIP POKER!!!!

Malia: um.... sounds fun?

Faith: yeay! let the games begin! oh, first we spin the bottle. whoever the bottle points to must take off a peice of something

in your clothes. no taking off of clothes people! that's a bad thing.

Akina: so we only take off accessories?

Faih: yup. then, whoever gets pointed by the bottle but doesn't have anymore accessories to take off, we'll ask if they want

Truth.... or Dare!

Akina: sure!

kag: i'll start!

-####----####----####----#####----

Aki: sesshumaru-sama?

sess:.....

Aki: why don't you speak to me a little?!

sess: i do not like noises. i do not like to talk.

Aki: listen, i know you don't like me that much. but atleast treat me as a friend!

sess: you are incorrect.

Aki: w-what?

sess: i already consider you as a 'friend'. but nothing more. nothing less. and i do 'like' you.

Aki: y-you do?

sess: must i always repeat myself for you pitiful humans?

Aki: (smiles sweetly and shakes her head no) iie. you don't. it's just nice to hear it.

sess: (nods and looks at the moon's reflection on the lake)

Aki: arigatou, sesshumaru-sama (leans on her arms on the grass and watches the moon and the skies)

sess:( looks at Aki's smiling face beside him) you're welcome.

that night: the date was done and sesshumaru felt like walking

he was walking silently down the wide lane of huts when he heard a rustling sound from his right. he turned to see a shorts

wearing, babyblue tanktop with a yellowish colored jacket wearing faith.

faith saw him and smiled sweetly.

faith: kobanwa, sesshy-kun.

sess: (raises eyebrow) sesshy-kun?

faith: oh, sorry, didn't mean to offend you or anything. i just thought that sesshy-kun was a cute name for you.

sess: fluffy-sama.

faith: eh?

sess: Rin calls me fluffy-sama.

faith: so does that mean i can call you fluffy-sama?

sess: hell no!

she giggled. it was like music to his ears.

faith: would you like to accompany me in my walk?

sess: at night?

faith: well, yeah. i couldn't sleep so, i decided to-

before she could say more sesshumaru already grabbed her hand and lead her away. faith was blushing a little. afterall, she

was holding hands with the Taiyokai of the West.
