Disclaimer: No one's mine. I wish they were. Oh, Sesshomaru! Why are you so hard to get? Why?
Sesshomaru: What the hell are you on?
Reaka: Oxygen! Want some?
Sesshomaru: I'll pass. I've got my own supply.
Reaka: Okay. Now, on with the chapter!
Sesshomaru: Shouldn't you tell them some important stuff?
Reaka: Like what?
Sesshomaru: Like I'M IN THE DAMN THING???????
Reaka: Oh yeah! You are, aren't you? Okay, Sesshomaru's in the chapter, so his thoughts will be in brackets. ([[]]). Rin's thoughts will be in here too. She gets the slashes this chapter. (). Just letting you know. Without further ado, let's get this party started! (starts singing the Pink song)
Sesshomaru: Oh great. She's singing. Someone help me.
Chapter 6- Curiosity.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Lord Sesshomaru! Over here Lord Sesshomaru!"
Rin ran to Sesshomaru once she saw him. She put her arms around him and hugged the demon. He patted her head lightly.
"Rin, come and take a walk with me."
The little girl followed after the demon once he left the study. The two of them were just about to leave when Jaken stopped them.
"Has the girl awakened?" Sesshomaru asked.
"No," Jaken answered. "It's just that I'm concerned on how I'm going to let you know when the girl's awakened if you and Rin are out taking a walk. Should I just run and tell you guys?"
"No, just tell us when we get back. And Jaken, whatever you do, don't leave Kagome alone in that room. For some reason, I have a fear of what she might do. And I still haven't been told what became of Inuyasha."
/What does he mean by all that? Is she really sick?/
Jaken nodded and left for Kagome's room. Sesshomaru and Rin turned and left for the forest. Rin ran ahead of the demon. She skipped along and breathed in the fresh air. A butterfly flew by her head, and she started chasing it.
[Rin, you always know how to make me forget about my problems. Even if you don't even realize it.]
A slow, kind smile was forming on his face.
[Was this feeling I have now for her the feeling my father had when Inuyasha was born? Is this how a father feels?]
Rin looked back at Sesshomaru. He smiled at her.
"Look Lord Sesshomaru! There's a river! Can we go there? Please?"
"Yes, you may."
They sat by the riverbank. Rin put her feet in the cold water. She liked the feeling of water rushing against her feet.
"Lord Sesshomaru, why don't you look so happy?"
"There's a lot on my mind, Rin."
"Was it because of that girl that came here?"
[Should I tell her about Inuyasha? Would she be frightened?]
"Is she really sick?"
"Well, Rin, yes and no. You know of my brother, Inuyasha, right?"
"Yes."
"The girl, Kagome, used to hang around him all the time."
"Did something bad happen to Inuyasha?"
"I don't know."
/How would Lord Sesshomaru act if something bad really did happen to Inuyasha? I don't like how he's acting now./
[What is wrong with me? Am I actually feeling concerned over what happened to my little brother? But that can't be true. I loathe that little half- breed. I'll kill him one day. But what if...]
He noticed Rin was looking at him strangely.
"What is it, Rin?"
"What would happen if Inuyasha died?"
"I don't know. Anything could happen, I guess."
/Lord Sesshomaru looks too sad. I know! I'll pick some flowers for him! That always cheers me up!/
Rin stood up and went to the woods.
"Rin..."
"I won't go too far! Don't worry Lord Sesshomaru!"
Rin stayed there for a few minutes. When she came out again, a beautiful bouquet was in her hand.
"These are for you, Lord Sesshomaru."
"Thank you Rin. Let's go home and put these in a vase."
The two walked back to the house. Sesshomaru found a glass vase and put the flowers in there. Rin was tired. She went to a chair and fell asleep in it. Sesshomaru put her in her room. Then he went to Kagome's to check on her.
When he walked in, Kagome was sitting up and looking around the room. Jaken was lying on the floor, unconscious.
[Something tells me I shouldn't ask what went wrong here.]
"Sesshomaru! You're back! I thought you left me for good!"
"I decided to give you some rest after you fainted."
"I fainted? I must've been so caught up in what happened to me, I didn't realize it."
"Should I wait for a while until you're ready to tell me what happened to my brother?"
"I'm ready. I'll tell you. Where'd I leave off at?"
"The woman shooting Inuyasha. Did she kill him?"
"Well..."
Reaka: (Struggling to breathe. Slowly turning red.) You're (cough) very welcome.
Sesshomaru: I'm appreciated...Wait a minute! Am I appearing in the story again?
Reaka: Not telling.
Sesshomaru: Why you...
Naraku: Reaka, I've got a bone to pick with you!
Reaka: Oh really?
Naraku: I didn't appear in the chapter! That's not fair!
Reaka: You didn't appear in the first one, and you didn't complain.
Naraku: Because I didn't kill anybody.
Miroku: (Coming out of nowhere accompanied by Rin and Reese) Wrong thing to say Naraku!
Naraku: No! Not again!
Miroku: Rin, Reese, ATTACK!!!!!!!
Rin and Reese: (beating Naraku to death) HOW COULD YOU KILL OUR PRETTY MONK? WE'LL KILL YOU FOR KILLING OUR MONK!!!!
Naraku: Reaka, I'll kill you, Rin, and Reese by the end of the story! I swear it.
Rin, Reese, and Reaka: (cackle) You shouldn't have killed our pretty monk! (Reaka joins in Naraku beating)
Sesshomaru: Please review the chapter dedicated to me! It's a dream come true! It really is! (sighs)
Naraku: HEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!
