A Child's Curiosity
A tickling sensation at the end of his nose startled him out of a sound sleep. He opened one eyes nonchalantly to look down at the small white flower that was angled under his nose.
"Lord Sesshomaru?" her big brown eyes gazed up at him questioningly.
"What human?" Sesshomaru asked opening both eyes now to glare down at her.
"I was wondering... Since dogs have tails... Do you have one?" moving the flower from the end of his nose she quickly tucked it in his sash and backed up a few paces to stare at him.
For the first time in his life, Sesshomaru blushed and he didn't like it at all.
"Human, whether or not I have a tail is none of your concern, now go back to what ever you were doing and leave me be." Without another word he shut his eyes and fell back to a quiet slumber.
Not being one to give up easily the little girl walked up closer to him and gently placed herself into Sesshomaru's lap.
"Lord Sesshomaru? Are you awake?" She whispered.
Growling at being bothered still he opened his eyes again and looked at the girl who had maneuvered herself into his lap.
"What is it now?" He grumbled.
"Do you have a tail?" She asked again.
Wondering why he didn't leave her dead when he had the chance he swiftly got to his feet, dumping her to the ground. Walking at his slow place he left her there underneath the tree and managed to get to the lake they had stopped near without anymore dumb questions.
Running after him as fast as she could she found more flowers and quickly put them in his sash before he got to far ahead. He turned around and looked at her.
"Rin, stay here." He said while jumping into the trees.
"But my Lord! You didn't answer my question!" Rin looked up into the trees and saw his movement toward the lake.
I'm going to ask him again and maybe he will answer me... He shouldn't be too mad if I just follow him a bit.
Taking his kimono off and slowly stepping into the cold water and then slowly dog patling to the middle. His normal mask was off for once and a small smile of pleasure was on his lips. He dove underneath the water and swam back to the edge of the lake. As he reached the dry beach beyond he didn't hear the small rustling of the bushes just next to the shore. Stepping carefully onto the shore Sesshomaru shook himself and looked up just in time to see Rin standing in front of him with a happy expression on her face.
"Lord Sesshomaru! You do have a tail!"
Glaring at her he walked over to his clothes and put them on all the time keeping an ear out for Jaken.
Jumping up and down happily she twirled around him while he just stood there wishing he was a mole demon.
