Hello, People!!! I didn't take too long, did I? Only 3 days... Like you care... Nobody reads this anyway... Or at least nobody reviews... Except Sam-sama! You honestly are the GREATEST!!!

"Sesshoumaru-Sama?" said Rin shyly, "Why is Kagome with us?"

"I said so, that's why."

"But why did you say so?"

"I felt like it."

"Why did you feel like it?"

"I'll tell you in few years."

"But Rin wants to know now!"

"Go ask Kagome."

"Kagome!" yelled Rin, leaving the room and running down the hall.

Kagome got up and went to the door and locked it. A second later there was a loud thud. Kagome opened the door. Rin was sprawled on the ground looking up at her. "Kagome?" she said quietly.

Kagome sighed. "Yes, Rin?"

"You said ask Sesshoumaru and he says ask you and you say ask him and he says ask you and-"

"I get it, Rin."

"Rin is confused. Why are you here?"

"Go ask Sesshoumaru."

Then Sesshoumaru yelled down the hall, "Tell her, Kagome!"

"Yeah, tell me, Kagome."

"You tell her!"

"Tell her!"

It went on this way for quite awhile without much change before Rin just gave up 'I wonder what I could do to pass by a few years...' she wondered.

So Rin went up the stairs to her room, which in my opinion is too large for a 7 year old. Anyway, she set to playing with her dolls acting out the argument going on downstairs. She put on a deep voice and said, "Go ask Kagome." She made the doll that was supposed to be her run into the side of a box. She made her Kagome doll very squeaky and said "Go ask Sesshoumaru- sama," even though Kagome doesn't add -Sama to the end of his name, Rin does. Her dolls argued for quite some time before she got bored.

She went off in search of paper and something to color with in her closet, which by the way, is very large. As she searched, she threw things. Fortunately, she was alone, or else there would be many casualties. "This isn't it. This is my bear." So she sat and played with the bear for awhile before tossing over her shoulder to join the pile. "Ooh! My sword!" she said picking up a small wooden sword Sesshoumaru had made for her. She waved it around for awhile, tearing the curtains. Sesshoumaru peeked in the doorway, but upon seeing this funny sight, he left to laugh by himself. She stopped waving the sword and "sheathed" it and threw it over her shoulder. Then she dove back into the closet to continue her search for paper. She ended her search, throwing the paper over her shoulder in the opposite direction of the pile. She then set to drawing pictures of all of the people she'd seen that day.

Sesshoumaru returned soon after, and sat down next to her. "What are you doing?"

"Coloring."

"Can I see?"

"This one is you." She held up a picture

"It's very good."

"This one is Kagome." She held up another.

"It's very good."

"This one is me."

"It's very good."

"This one is all of us."

"It's very good."

"This is the other puppy guy."

"It's very-wait a minute, why do you have pictures of him?"

"He has cute ears."

"Right... So what's that last one?"

"That's Kagome's friend that you poisoned." She pointed to a girl lying on the ground. "And that," she pointed again, "is you and Kagome. See? She's scared. But I think she likes you. She thinks you're pretty."

"I think she's pretty too."

"She likes your tail, too." she paused. "How come you're face is turning red?"

"How about if I read you a book."

"Okay!"

Rin jumped up and ran once more into the closet, throwing things in her search for a book.

"I can't find one, Sesshoumaru-sama."

"Come with me and we'll find you a book."

She jumped up on Sesshoumaru's back and snuggled up to his tail. "Are you quite happy?"

"Yes!"

So they went in search of a book. He found a book of fairy tales, and not wanting to read the whole book, he decided to tell the stories as he remembered them from his childhood. Incidentally, his childhood was so long ago, he didn't remember quite the same stories as Rin.

"Once there were three bears. Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear. One day Mama Bear made porridge. Mama Bear's was too cold and Papa Bear's was too hot. Baby Bear's was just right. They decided to go for a walk while they waited for their porridge to get to the right temperature. While they were gone, the wicked hanyou came and ate all the porridge. He didn't care if it was to hot, to cold or just right. Then, the evil hanyou set off to destroy the three bears' house. He broke the chairs and jumped on the beds. Finally, the three bears came home and when they found the evil Hanyou, they killed him and lived happily ever after."

"That's not how it goes!"

"Yes it is."

"Nuh-uh!"

"Do you want to hear a story or not?"

"Yes."

"Then, listen. Once there were three pigs."

"Do you like the number three?"

"Yes. Anyway, the three pigs left home to seek their fortune. The first pig saw a man selling some straw. He went and bought all the straw and built a house with it. The second pig bought some sticks and built a house with them. The third pig built his house with bricks. It also happened that in that same town, there was a wicked hanyou. He went to the first pig's house and said 'Little pig, little pig, let me come in!' and the pig said 'no!' and the evil hanyou said, 'then I'll huff and puff and blow your house down.' And he huffed and puffed and blew the house down. He ate the little pig and left to find the next pig. The wicked hanyou said, 'little pig, little pig, let me come in!' the pig said, 'No!' so the hanyou huffed and puffed and blew down his house too. And he ate him. So he went to the next pig, who had the brick house. The hanyou asked to come in and was turned away, so the hanyou huffed and he puffed, but he couldn't blow down the brick house. He kept on trying, and he huffed and puffed so hard that his lungs blew up."

"That's not a nice story."

"It was one of my favorites as a child."

"The hanyou wasn't nice."

"My brother is a hanyou. He isn't very nice. You should always stay far away from him."

"Ok. But I still like his ears."

"Let's get you back upstairs."

"Has it been a few years yet?"

"No. It's been about a two hours."

"Is that almost a few years?"

"Almost."

"Ok."

So Rin went back upstairs, where Sesshoumaru left her and dove once more into her closet in search of something to do. She found some far-too-large clothes. She entertained herself playing dress-up. After about an hour, she settled on a large floppy hat and a Kimono that's sleeves trailed along the ground, it was so big. She found something to tie it together with because it hung far too open. She went and found her toy sword, which she had trouble picking up with such long sleeves. When she finally got it, she played as though she were Sesshoumaru and her stuffed bear was Inuyasha. She had a very serious look on her face as she throttled the life out the poor bear. In the end, the bear was no longer a bear, but a pile of stuffing and Rin held and extra sword, which she had taken from the bear, which had just sat staring at her as she "killed" it.

"I wonder if it's been a few years yet." She said to herself. She left the room and went to find Kagome. "Why did Sesshoumaru-Sama bring you here? You said you'd tell me in a few years and it's been a VERY long time."

"Well, it's only been about three hours, Rin."

"But, I want to know!"

"Ok... Sit down here next to me. What have you been doing?"

"Playing. I was being Sesshoumaru-Sama and my bear was the other puppy guy and I killed him!"

"You killed Inuyasha?"

"Yup!"

Kagome laughed.

"Hey! Don't change the subject!"

"Ok... Well, when a demon is in heat..."

~*TBC*~

I assume you know what she's going to say, so I wont go into detail on Kagome explaining sex to Rin...

I want to give a big thanks and a hug to my cousin. **hugs SJL** She helped me very much with this chapter, because I don't know what I would have come up with. I didn't want to use my last resort. I don't want them to mate for quite awhile.

Next chapter, I think Anna and Inuyasha will read some more poetry. He still doesn't get the metaphor thing. She's going to explain figurative language to him. Honestly, how dense do you get... And I think Rin is going to ask Sesshoumaru-Sama for a second opinion, because she thinks sex is 'yucky' so she doesn't think Sesshoumaru would want that... Hehehe... At least she isn't asking Miroku about it...

BTW, SJL will probably be helping a lot in the future, so expect a lot of SJL-osity.

Also, Sesshoumaru's stories came from Samurai Jack. Aku was telling stories to the little kids to make Jack look bad. He didn't tell the three pigs as far as I remember, but he DID tell the Three Bears. So that ain't mine. Dammit.

Much Love,

Jean ^_^
