Miroku: Poor Inuyasha! (starts to laugh)
Rose: Oh, Inuyasha does not like my punishment measures.
Inuyasha: No I don't.
Miroku: (on the ground laughing his ass off)
Inuyasha: (in his trademark stance; arms folded and sulking) I don't see what's so funny here.
Rose: Well I do.
Inuyasha: (glare)
Miroku: (still on the ground) What happened Inuyasha? You fall in tub filled with pink hearts?(you see Inuyasha's clothes are all pink and his hair is purple)
Inuyasha: (a deeper glare)

**********************************
Rin looked at Sesshoumaru with hope in her eyes. /Two left and it's only the first day./ Her tears had stopped falling and were replaced with a smile. Sesshoumaru felt happy; a feeling he hasn't felt in years. /I love the way she smiles at me./ Sesshoumaru felt uneasy in the now growing silence.
"Well then." Rin broke the silence first. "Why don't you show me the proper way to fight and kill."
Sesshoumaru was startled at Rin's request and the fact that she wore a smile as she said it. "You want me to teach you how to fight and kill?"
"Of course! I mean you've been a demon much longer than I have. Plus, you have much more experience than I as well."
"You do have a point. Okay, I'll teach you. But you have to listen to everything I say and do everything I do, understand?" Sesshoumaru told Rin with a stern but gently smile.
Rin nodded. "I understand Sesshoumaru-sama."
"Sesshoumaru." He said.
"Excuse me?" Rin asked with a confused look upon her face.
"I said Sesshoumaru. You can call me Sesshoumaru now. If we are to be mates, then you may call me Sesshoumaru. There is no need for the '-sama' ending anymore."
"Oh." Rin looked at Sesshoumaru. /He wants me to be his mate!/ "Of course Sesshoumaru-sama...uh, I mean Sesshoumaru. This will take some time to get use to."
"No it won't. Don't worry." Sesshoumaru turned and started to walk down the river bank. "Come follow me for your first lesson in fighting, Rin." He called in a soft tone.
"Okay." Rin started to follow when she remembered Jaken. She turned to him.(a/c: Is Jaken a he, she, or it? Very tough question..) "Are you coming?"
Jaken didn't answer.
"Okay." Rin turned back and started to walk in the direction that Sesshoumaru went. "Stay there then." With that she ran to catch up with Sesshoumaru.
Jaken just stood there. He (a/c: or it!) didn't even speak a word.
********************************
As Rin ran, she noticed how everything now seemed strange to her now. She could run much faster than she used to and because of that the scenery flew by much faster. It was like a blur. /This must be what demons see when they run./ Rin ran through the forest until she sensed that Sesshoumaru was very near. She slowed down and came to a walk. /I'm not even getting tired./ Rin walked into a field lit with flowers and saw Sesshoumaru sitting on the ground.
".*gasp* ." Rin couldn't believe how beautiful the scene was. /This is so beautiful. This can't be where he'll teach me how to fight and kill./ She walked up to him. "Sesshoumaru..why are we here?"
Sesshoumaru looked up at Rin. "I thought you might like it here." He found himself having found joy when Rin smiled. /I guess I'll have to cope with these flowers. I do not like the smell of flowers. But if I must tolerate them for her then I will./
"Really? You'd actually tolerate the smell of flowers for me?" Rin asked him.
Sesshoumaru wore a shocked expression. "You know about that?"
"Yeah." Rin winced. "To tell you the truth.I can't tolerate this smell either."
Sesshoumaru let out a soft chuckle. "Your demon senses are going to hate and like different scents."
"Well .can we at least go somewhere else?"
"Why?" Sesshoumaru asked in a particular irritating tone.
"Because.." Rin left her answer at that. She knew he would be difficult with her. ".never mind."
Sesshoumaru gave Rin a little smirk. "This will be very interesting."
"What will?"
"Seeing you fight." Sesshoumaru said while getting off the ground.
"You think I can't fight?!?!" Rin said with a little anger in her voice.
"Well..this IS coming from a person whose never fought before." Sesshoumaru had hit Rin's anger head on. /If I get her mad at me, maybe she'll attack me. That would be the easiest way for me to see exactly how strong she is at this moment. I know she won't attack me if I ask her to./" But if you say you know how to fight, then prove it to me."
Rin's demon side was now starting to show it's anger. "How?" she snarled.
"By attacking me, right here right now."
"Fine." Rin got into a fighting stance. ".if it's a fight you want, then it's fight you'll get." Her demon side was pulling out of the 'helpless' act. /If he thinks I still need help even when I'm a demon, then he's got another thing coming./
Sesshoumaru was a little shocked at Rin's sudden eagerness to fight him. "Okay then." He also got into a fighting stance. /I'll go easy on her. She has never fought anyone before and if I fight her with my full strength then it will most likely be to much for her. Plus she is my mate. I wouldn't want to kill her./ "Let's begin-" Sesshoumaru wasn't able to finish. Rin came at him as soon as he started to speak. She threw punches and kicks, one after another, at him with great force. Sesshoumaru had trouble keeping up with her. /For someone whose never fought before, she's really good. I just might have to use a little more of my strength./
Sesshoumaru used his great speed to dodge an incoming punch. He came up behind Rin and grabbed her from the back. "You're a very good fighter. With the right training, you could become very strong."
Rin's anger had subdued and now she was showing a tiny bit of exhaustion. "You really mean it? But I only have a short time as a demon."
"Didn't I tell you earlier that if you want to stay a demon then I will make sure that you'll stay a demon?"
"Yes, you did. But I don't know if I'm able to kill and drink the blood of a miko."
"Drink the blood of a miko? You have to kill and drink the blood of a miko?" Sesshoumaru asked still holding Rin from behind.
"Yes I thought I told you. The third requirement is that I must kill and drink the blood of a miko."
"Maybe this'll be a little difficult." Sesshoumaru felt Rin's muscles relax. /She's sad./ He maneuvered Rin's body so that he now held her bridal style. He started to walk toward a nearby tree.
"Sesshoumaru?" Rin said softly as she buried her face into his kimono and inhaling his wonderful scent. /He smells so damn good. I love his scent./
"What is it Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked as he sat down against the tree with Rin still in his arms.
Rin repositioned herself in a sitting position on his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck and laid her head on his chest.".I'm sorry about before."
"What? About me degrading you?" Sesshoumaru wrapped his arms around her waist. "You have no reason to be sorry. I didn't realize that because you were transformed into a demon that your strength was increased as well." He placed one of his hands on her back and started to rub his hand up and down. "If anything, I should be sorry."
"Let's just forget about it." She moved slightly as to get closer to Sesshoumaru. "I wanna talk about more important things."
"Like what?" He had stopped rubbing her back and was now stroking her beautiful raven-colored hair.
"Oh I dunno.maybe..us?" She snuggled up to him a little more.
"Really?" Sesshoumaru pushed Rin away so that he could look her in the eyes directly. "Cause that 's exactly what I was thinking." He pressed his lips onto hers. He gave her a passionate kiss full of emotion. Her scent was driving him wild. /She's going to be mine. No one else's. Mine./ She returned his kiss with a little more emotion than she wanted to give him. She knew that her scent was driving him wild; she could sense it. But now because of the spell, it seemed her body was driving him wild as well. /I giving him too much. Something's going to happen soon if we don't stop-/ Rin panicked as she felt his hand slip down her kimono. He felt her squirm in his hold. /I shouldn't be doing this. I should have more control than just this./ He lifted his hand off of her thigh and broke their kiss.
"..Sesshoumaru?" Rin was relieved and confused. /I'm glad he stopped but he could have kept the kiss./
Sesshoumaru was mentally kicking himself for what he almost did. /How could I lose control.I knew she was a little nervous..and I had to go and push her./ He looked at Rin, who was trying to get his attention, but was still lost in thought. /Maybe I should just ask her before..or maybe not./ "..are you listening to me?"
She put her hand on top of his, which instantly brought him out of his thoughts. He looked down at her hand. "I-I'm sorry.I don't know what came over me." He looked up at his newfound mate.
"It was just instinct. Don't worry yourself about it." She saw that he was really upset about what he almost did. /He's really kicking himself for this./ Just as she thought of the thought, an idea came to her. "Why don't we worry about finding a miko instead? We'll talk about this later, okay?"
He nodded a simple 'yes'. /I'll have to regain my control over my emotions or it can prove-/ He was startled by the feeling of a kiss, with tongue and everything, plus the addition of a pair of arms around his neck. /Or maybe not./ He gave into it a little and then she pulled himself off of him and stood up. He looked up at her.
"Come on, let's go." Rin grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand and helped him up. "I want to find a miko quickly." Then Rin had finally let it sink in. "Sesshoumaru? Where can we find a miko?"
"Don't worry. I know of one." With that Sesshoumaru walked back into the field of flowers. Rin just stood there thinking. /I shouldn't worry about it. He says he knows of a miko so I'll just have to trust him./ Rin put a smile on her face and ran after Sesshoumaru.
**********************
"*sigh* ..this feels so good." Kagome said as she slid into the hot spring's relaxing waters.
"I agree." Chimed an equally relaxed Sango, as she too slid into the wonderful warmth of the hot spring.
"We're going to have to do this more often." Kagome said closing her eyes and letting the warmth of the water engulf her. "I mean we just can't go week after week without a bath. It's inhuman. The guys can do whatever they want but me and you need to bath more than just once a week."
"I understand that perfectly. They think just because they get knocked into a river or lake that it qualifies as a bath." Sango added.
Kagome opened her eyes and looked at Sango, who returned the look. Both girls busted out laughing uncontrollably.
Rustle, snap, GROWL!
"W-W-What the hell was that?" Kagome asked in a shaky.
"It sounded like it came from the bushes." Sango said in a strong but frightened voice.
"What do you think it is?" Kagome asked her equally startled friend. She waited for an answer, but didn't get one. "San-" Kagome was stopped by a hand over her mouth.
"Shhhhh." Sango whispered into Kagome's ear. Kagome nodded a simple 'yes' answer and quietly listened to Sango's instructions. "Listen Kagome, let's move to the other side of the hot spring. Move very slowly. Understand?" Sango whispered as she removed her hand from Kagome's mouth.
"Yeah.of course." Kagome whispered back to Sango. /What the hell is in those bushes?/
Sango and Kagome silently made their way to the farthest side of the hot spring. But it seemed that the farther they move the louder the growling became, even though they were as silent as death itself.
/We're going to be killed! Or worse..eaten! They're the same thing! There's no way out of this except.our trump card./ Kagome had figured out how to get out of this 'life-or-death' situation: call for Inuyasha. "Sango?" Kagome whispered to her frightened friend.
"Y-Yes.." Sango answered in a shaky voice. /Oh hell, there's no way out! Maybe it's just Miroku..no it can be he wouldn't scare us this much./
"Sango I have an idea." Kagome whispered to Sango, her eyes still glued onto the bush.
/She has an idea!/ "Really?.What is it?"
"On the count of three yell for Inuyasha. He'll hear us a come and get us."
"Perfect." Sango stopped talking as the growling became louder.
"Ready? 1.2.3."
"INUYASHA!!!!! HELP US!!!!!!" The two girls screamed simultaneously and at the top of their lungs.
***************************
Back at the campsite, Miroku was tending to his head injury, which had stopped hurting and was just sore. And Inuyasha was sitting a tree in his trademark position while he wore the illusion that he was sleeping.
"..stupid Inuyasha...why'd he have to go and hit me..he could have dumped water on me..or something else..." Miroku was mumbling while tending to his bump on his head.
/Is he stupid or does he not know that I can hear everything he says? Idiot ecchi.call me stupid./ Inuyasha opened his eyes to find Miroku glaring intensely at him. "What do you want?"
"It's getting late. Do you think Lady Kagome and Lady Sango are alright?" Miroku asked with an innocent look on his face.
"Can't you come up with a better excuse than that, you bastard?" Inuyasha shut his eyes again and leaned into the tree, which he missed by a mile and fell out of the tree and hit the ground hard with a 'THUMP'. "Owwww." Inuyasha was clutching his head, the same exact way that Miroku was earlier.
"HA!" Miroku that it was funny that Inuyasha could hold up against multiple wounds from a foe but cry at the sudden pain of his head hitting the ground from falling out of a tree.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY MONK!" Inuyasha screamed at the laughing priest.
"Oh..yes it is."
Inuyasha replied by giving Miroku a low growl.
"Fine if you're that upset about it.." Miroku turned his back to Inuyasha. But Inuyasha could hear the soft chuckles coming from Miroku.
Inuyasha picked up a rock. "I said STOP LAUGHING!" And hurled the large rock at Miroku's head.
CLUNK! The rock had made contact with Miroku's head.
"YOU FUCKING ASS BASTARD! THAT REALLY HURT!!!" Miroku was clutching his head as a second bump came into view.
"Haha.now THAT'S funny!" Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at the monk in pain.
"Shut up Inuyasha!"
~INUYASHA!!!!! HELP US!!!!!!~ Inuyasha could hear the faint cries of Kagome and Sango. /Shit.he was right.they were in trouble./ "Come on Miroku!" Inuyasha grabbed Miroku and ran toward the hot springs.
"Inuyasha.where the hell are we going?" Miroku asked.
"I heard Kagome and Sango scream, they might be in trouble." Inuyasha told the monk.
"Oh.so the ladies need help..at the hot springs.I'm glad you heard them." A mischievous smile appeared on Miroku's face.
"Oh shut up." Inuyasha ran as fast as he could before he saw the hot springs come into view and something else unexpected.

I should have more control than just this./ He lifted his hand off of her thigh and broke their kiss.
"..Sesshoumaru?" Rin was relieved and confused. /I'm glad he stopped but he could have kept the kiss./

He nodded a simple 'yes'. /I'll have to regain my control over my emotions or it can prove-/ He was startled by the feeling of a kiss, with tongue and everything, plus the addition of a pair of arms around his neck. /Or maybe not./ He gave into it a little and then she pulled himself off of him and stood up. He looked up at her.
"Come on, let's go." Rin grabbed Sesshoumaru's hand and helped him up. "I want to find a miko quickly." Then Rin had finally let it sink in. "Sesshoumaru? Where can we find a miko?"
"Don't worry. I know of one." With that Sesshoumaru walked back into the field of flowers. Rin just stood there thinking. /I shouldn't worry about it. He says he knows of a miko so I'll just have to trust him./ Rin put a smile on her face and ran after Sesshoumaru.

"*sigh* ..this feels so good." Kagome said as she slid into the hot spring's relaxing waters.
"I agree." Chimed an equally relaxed Sango, as she too slid into the wonderful warmth of the hot spring.
"We're going to have to do this more often." Kagome said closing her eyes and letting the warmth of the water engulf her. "I mean we just can't go week after week without a bath. It's inhuman. The guys can do whatever they want but me and you need to bath more than just once a week."
"I understand that perfectly. They think just because they get knocked into a river or lake that it qualifies as a bath." Sango added.
Kagome opened her eyes and looked at Sango, who returned the look. Both girls busted out laughing uncontrollably.
Rustle, snap, GROWL!
"W-W-What the hell was that?" Kagome asked in a shaky.
"It sounded like it came from the bushes." Sango said in a strong but frightened voice.
"What do you think it is?" Kagome asked her equally startled friend. She waited for an answer, but didn't get one. "San-" Kagome was stopped by a hand over her mouth.
"Shhhhh." Sango whispered into Kagome's ear. Kagome nodded a simple 'yes' answer and quietly listened to Sango's instructions. "Listen Kagome, let's move to the other side of the hot spring. Move very slowly. Understand?" Sango whispered as she removed her hand from Kagome's mouth.
"Yeah.of course." Kagome whispered back to Sango. /What the hell is in those bushes?/
Sango and Kagome silently made their way to the farthest side of the hot spring. But it seemed that the farther they move the louder the growling became, even though they were as silent as death itself.
/We're going to be killed! Or worse..eaten! They're the same thing! There's no way out of this except.our trump card./ Kagome had figured out how to get out of this 'life-or-death' situation: call for Inuyasha. "Sango?" Kagome whispered to her frightened friend.
"Y-Yes.." Sango answered in a shaky voice. /Oh hell, there's no way out! Maybe it's just Miroku..no it can be he wouldn't scare us this much./
"Sango I have an idea." Kagome whispered to Sango, her eyes still glued onto the bush.
/She has an idea!/ "Really?.What is it?"
"On the count of three yell for Inuyasha. He'll hear us a come and get us."
"Perfect." Sango stopped talking as the growling became louder.
"Ready? 1.2.3."
"INUYASHA!!!!! HELP US!!!!!!" The two girls screamed simultaneously and at the top of their lungs.
***************************
Back at the campsite, Miroku was tending to his head injury, which had stopped hurting and was just sore. And Inuyasha was sitting a tree in his trademark position while he wore the illusion that he was sleeping.
"..stupid Inuyasha...why'd he have to go and hit me..he could have dumped water on me..or something else..." Miroku was mumbling while tending to his bump on his head.
/Is he stupid or does he not know that I can hear everything he says? Idiot ecchi.call me stupid./ Inuyasha opened his eyes to find Miroku glaring intensely at him. "What do you want?"
"It's getting late. Do you think Lady Kagome and Lady Sango are alright?" Miroku asked with an innocent look on his face.
"Can't you come up with a better excuse than that, you bastard?" Inuyasha shut his eyes again and leaned into the tree, which he missed by a mile and fell out of the tree and hit the ground hard with a 'THUMP'. "Owwww." Inuyasha was clutching his head, the same exact way that Miroku was earlier.
"HA!" Miroku that it was funny that Inuyasha could hold up against multiple wounds from a foe but cry at the sudden pain of his head hitting the ground from falling out of a tree.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY MONK!" Inuyasha screamed at the laughing priest.
"Oh..yes it is."
Inuyasha replied by giving Miroku a low growl.
"Fine if you're that upset about it.." Miroku turned his back to Inuyasha. But Inuyasha could hear the soft chuckles coming from Miroku.
Inuyasha picked up a rock. "I said STOP LAUGHING!" And hurled the large rock at Miroku's head.
CLUNK! The rock had made contact with Miroku's head.
"YOU FUCKING ASS BASTARD! THAT REALLY HURT!!!" Miroku was clutching his head as a second bump came into view.
"Haha.now THAT'S funny!" Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at the monk in pain.
"Shut up Inuyasha!"
~INUYASHA!!!!! HELP US!!!!!!~ Inuyasha could hear the faint cries of Kagome and Sango. /Shit.he was right.they were in trouble./ "Come on Miroku!" Inuyasha grabbed Miroku and ran toward the hot springs.
"Inuyasha.where the hell are we going?" Miroku asked.
"I heard Kagome and Sango scream, they might be in trouble." Inuyasha told the monk.
"Oh.so the ladies need help..at the hot springs.I'm glad you heard them." A mischievous smile appeared on Miroku's face.
"Oh shut up." Inuyasha ran as fast as he could before he saw the hot springs come into view and something else unexpected.
