Chapter 18: Tickling, Laughing, and Advice Giving

The next morning Rin and Akeena walked down to breakfast. Rin rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, while Akeena yawned, flashing sharp, white fangs.
"Good morning Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin said as she and Akeena sat down. Sesshoumaru nodded hello.
"How is your stomach?" he asked looking over at her stomach.
"Fine," Akeena answered and quickly ate breakfast.
"Well I'm going outside to practice," Akeena said and walked out the door.
As she walked towards the fighting area she spotted Bree swatting at some fish in the lake. She smiled and continued on her way. She started practicing and a few minutes later Sesshoumaru showed up.
"Tell me something Akeena," he said walking up to her and started helping her practice.
"Why don't you finish off my half-breed brother when you have the chance?" he asked as he blocked her kick. They were basically sparing.
"Because he's your brother," she answered blocking one of Sesshoumaru's punches. She doesn't kill him because he's my brother? he thought as they continued to practice spare.
"Why do you ask Sesshoumaru?" Akeena asked dodging a would-have-been fatal blow.
"It was strange seeing an assassin letting someone live," he answered dodging what would have been fatal blow.
"But I'm no longer an assassin you see, so I don't need to kill," she said blocking.
"Akeena-chan," Rin called walking into the fighting area.
"Hello Rin," Akeena said smiling and walking over to her, Sesshoumaru followed.
"Will you come play with me out in the flower fields?" Rin asked with pleading eyes.
"Of course. Lets go," Akeena said and Rin grabbed her arm, pulling her towards the fields. Sesshoumaru followed just to keep an eye on them.
Sesshoumaru leaned against a tree and watched the two girls play around.
"Grr... I'm going to get you," Akeena laughed as she chased a giggling Rin.
"No, no tickling, hahahahahahaha... stop... hahaha," Rin shouted while Akeena tickled her. Rin laughed and squirmed.
"Haha... Sesshoumaru-sama... hahahaha... help... hahahaha," Rin laughed.
"Hey Rin, lets trick Sesshoumaru into coming over here then we'll start tickling him," Akeena whispered so that only Rin heard. She smiled and nodded as she continued to laugh.
"(laughing)... Sesshoumaru-sama... (laughing)... help please..(laughing)," Rin laughed.
"He won't be able to save you Rin. He's too weak," Akeena lied while she continued to tickle Rin.
"Oh really?" Sesshoumaru said and walked over.
"Now!" Akeena shouted and they both tackled him to the ground, tickling him.
"You tricked me," he said then burst out laughing. They continued to tickle him mercilessly. He reached up and caught Akeena's shoulders. She looked down at him. He was smiling evilly and she looked at him with a look that said 'Uh-oh.' Suddenly he flipped over, now pinning Akeena to the ground as Rin started to tickle her. Akeena burst out laughing.
"Haha, Rin you traitor... hahahaha," Akeena laughed as Rin continued to tickle her while Sesshoumaru pinned her down.
"Okay, okay, I surrender. Whew... now I'm tired," Akeena panted, Rin sitting next to her also panting.
"Bree lets go play tag," Rin said getting to her feet and running after the panther.
Sesshoumaru was still pinning Akeena to the ground. He smiled at her with a mischievous look in his golden eyes. She gulped.
"My turn," he said and started tickling her.
"You bastard!" Akeena shouted as she started laughing. He smiled at her as he continued to tickle her.
"Okay, okay. Please stop, I surrender, you win," Akeena gasped. Sesshoumaru stopped and sat next to her, leaning back on his heads. Akeena laid on her back panting, her arm across her stomach.
"I didn't hurt your wound did I?" Sesshoumaru asked looking over at her.
"No. In fact it's almost fully healed," Akeena answered, still slightly panting. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the breeze.
"You know Sesshoumaru you should laugh more often," Akeena said out of the blue.
"Huh?" he looked over at her.
"You should laugh more often, instead of being cold and heartless. It doesn't suit you," she said looking up into the sky. Sesshoumaru stared at her kind of stunned. What? Well laughing like that was rather nice, maybe she's right he thought.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be telling you how to act. I'm going back inside," Akeena said getting to her feet and walking away.
"I don't mind Akeena," he said smiling at her. She stopped and turned around, looking at him. She smiled then continued back inside.
