Rin

This morning Lord Sesshomaru said something strange. Something about hating the stench of humans. I wanted to ask him if I was human, but I didn't. I know I'm human, but he never complains about me smelling. I'm afraid, if I asked, he'd notice that I smell. I don't want that, because then he'd make me go, and I don't want to. Even if he does sometimes scare me.

Lord Jaken, he never scares me, and he's always very sad when Lord Sesshomaru is gone. I can't figure out why. He always comes back, and unless we've been bad, he doesn't yell at us when he comes back. Lord Sesshomaru never yells, though, at least, not that I've ever seen. Not like those people at my old village, they were always yelling at something, for something, or just plain old yelling. They were dumb; that's why I never talked to them. And...well, I couldn't talk.

When I found Lord Sesshomaru, I knew he was smart. And strong. He was all bloody and torn up, but he still talked to me. And he didn't yell. I remember just being so happy that he didn't yell that I came back again the next day. And the next. And I brought him food, even though he never ate. It made me happy, to take care of him. I was

Then he saved me from those wolves. And I followed him. I don't know for sure, but I think he might be a fallen angel, or a god, or something. After all, who else but one of those could have saved me? I was dead.

Sometimes I wonder, though, because he stays up and mutters about some brother. He doesn't know I hear, because I keep my eyes shut really well and I know how to fool people. But if he's like...like that, then maybe he knows anyway...

Maybe I shouldn't listen to Lord Sesshomaru like that anymore.

But I'm curious! He disappears every few days, after some thing or the other, or to talk to someone. I wish he'd take me sometime; I want to know why he always disappears. I asked Lord Jaken once, and he just threw up his hands...claws...um... what ever those things are, and told me he didn't know where Lord Sesshomaru went and why he didn't ever take his faithful retainer!

Sometimes I wonder if Lord Jaken is in love with Lord Sesshomaru. That would be very silly, because Lord Sesshomaru certainly does not love Lord Jaken. That, at least, I know for certain. Still, it's almost sad how melancholy he gets when Lord Sesshomaru goes away. He mopes and mourns as if Lord Sesshomaru was going to leave us alone forever.

But I know he won't. He would not leave me alone forever with Lord Jaken. Besides, even though Lord Jaken is really annoying; I think Lord Sesshomaru likes him for some reason. I don't know why; I just think he's annoying.

Sometimes I worry that Lord Jaken is right, and one day, Lord Sesshomaru will leave me. After all, I'm just a little girl; what would an angel want with me? Then I remember that he saved me. I've been with him all this time. He won't leave me, even if does sometimes say he will.

Sometimes, people see me with Lord Sesshomaru and they get angry and scared. I don't know why they'd get angry. They yell at him to let me go, and stuff like that. Once I tried to tell them that I didn't want to go, but Lord Sesshomaru wouldn't let me. He told me to be quiet, and I was. I still don't know why they yell at him so; especially when they call him a demon. He's not a demon, I know because if he was, he'd be meaner. Demons are evil, and they don't save little girls; they kill them; like those wolves.

Jaken is squawking; I guess that means that Lord Sesshomaru is back again. I hope he's in a better mood then this morning. I don't want to him to think about humans being smelly anymore.

I feel that this requires a bit of explaining. Rin seems to be such a mystery to everyone, and I have only seen Inuyasha up to the current place in Adult Swim, so I had to take liberties with plots and such things. Also, trying to write in a way that would keep Rin in character was difficult, so if I slipped dramatically at any point, I apologize, that's why this fiction is being done, as a writing exercise.

Next up: Sesshomaru, aka Lord Fluffy (no, I won't call him that in this series ever.). If you haven't picked up on the pattern, I'm choosing a character and then doing their counter-part, romantically or otherwise.

Please review!
