"Sesshomaru sama! Rin's going to look for flowers now!" Rin piped up at him happily.

"Do as you wish, Rin, just bring Jaken with you. And be back before evening." Sesshomaru told her, looking down at the small mortal girl.

Why did you bring her into this? Why? She's just a mortal girl. Why save her? Why protect her? Why.....No. It's not like that. She's just a mortal child. I, Lord Sesshomaru, Lord of the eastern lands, can not afford to deal with such a child.

"Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Yes, what is it, Jaken?"

"'Tis nothing milord. Did you let the wretch of a-"

Squish. Sesshomaru stepped on Jaken.

"Miserable toad." He muttered.

How dare he interfere with what I do? If the toad does not like how I do my own things, he should just let the Half-breed brother of mine kill him and be done with it!

Walking along a path in the forest, Rin started singing to herself.

"In the mountain in the forest in the wind in a dream where are you Sesshomaru sama? with an ally like Jaken? I will wait alone until you come! Sesshomaru sama, please return."

"Oh! Look at the pretty flowers! Sesshomaru sama will be so pleased with Rin." She ran over to the flowers, and began picking them.

"Come on Kagome, let's go." Inuyasha yawned, stretching out.

"Is it morning already?" Kagome slipped out of bed.

"Yes, and we have to get back. Everyone's probably wondering where we are."

"Oh....Alright. I just have to pack everything."

"Sesshomaru sama! Look! Rin picked these for you!" The child held up a bouquet of flowers.

"........" Sesshomaru looked down upon the child silently. "Thank you. Just... Put them in some water, please." He patted her on the head.

"Yes!" She ran off to put the flowers in a small vase of water.

What am I doing? Why don't I just kill the child? It would be easier. But she looks like damn happy all the time! How can I kill her? It's not like I care, she's just a child. The world is filled with human children. Demon children, too.

Takimi.

No, he mustn't think of that.

"Sesshomaru sama, is it time to sleep?"

He looked down at Rin, startled out of his thoughts.

"Yes, yes it is Rin."

"Alright. Good night, Sesshomaru sama, good night Jaken sama." Rin jumped into Sesshomaru's lap, snuggling down into his fluffy boa.

A half our later.

"Kagome! Let's go!" Inuyasha glared at her.

"Inuyasha, would you rather not have your instant noodles?" Kagome shot back.

"......"

"That's what I thought." She smiled. "Now, be a good boy and calm down."

"Hmph" He put his arms around her, pouting. "You said this wouldn't take long, though."

"Brother Inu!" Shota ran down the hall, shouting for Inuyasha.

"Yes, Shota?" Inuyasha looked at the boy, his ears twitching. (A/n: Squeals)

"Dinners almost ready, wont you stay another night?" Shota tugged on Inuyasha's sleeve. "Please?"

"........" Inuyasha looked over at Kagome.

"Alright. We will."

"Yay!" Shota ran to tell Grandpa.

"And after dinner?" Inuyasha grinned.
