A.N- Sorry I took so long to update, well not very long, but I planned on typing a chapter each day and posting it but I got caught up reading this fanfic which is really good and the author updated practically every day. So I'm really entertained and so on. Anyhow, onto the 'thank you's'. I really want to thank you all very much.
Rin's Four Legged Obsession
One reviewer asked me Rin's age, well I decided to make her around 10 years old, because I wanted her to still be able to have that childish innocence, but also be able to decipher right from wrong and that a puppy needs food. I really just wanted her to be older, but also be little Rin.
Chapter 6: More Jealousy
Jaken had spent most of his day with one of the demons from Ryo's coyote pack. The pup had, indeed, marked his territory in Sesshoumaru's castle. And that wasn't good.
It was not good at all.
"Do you still smell it?" Jaken asked, disgusted.
"What does it matter? Lord Sesshoumaru doesn't seem bothered by the pup's smell." Said the tired coyote demon. He had been sniffing every nook and cranny of castle all day!
"Oh, you're useless! ...Do you ever see Lord Sesshoumaru wandering around the castle, and suddenly deciding to . . . to . . . relieve himself on the wall!?"
The coyote youkai looked at Jaken as though he had a giant spider on his face. He didn't answer Jaken's question but continued to stare at him.
Really, did Lord Sesshoumaru ever do that? If not, then how did he mark his territory? Obviously none of the inu youkai-who lived in the castle-got to mark any territory, not even their bedrooms. It just wasn't allowed.
"Oh, you baka, go away!" Jaken yelled.
The poor coyote obeyed. "Geesh, I was only helping you out . . . BY THE WAY, I CAN STILL SMELL IT!" he said, smugly, walking away.
Jaken growled. "LORD SESSHOUMARU!" He yelled as he ran through the halls.
After the little incident with Ryo's tail, Rin decided to spend some time outside in the garden, until Sesshoumaru decided she could go into a nearby village to get puppy food.
She played with the pup and chased it, letting it chew on her hair. Good times, except when the pup had to . . . "relieve" himself. And it wasn't urinating.
Rin gaped at the scene before her. "Oh . . . " At first she was sure he was just being curious; smelling around. "Ah . . ." Then he turned and squated and "...EW!"
When the pup finally finished, Rin took him inside the castle so she could tell Lord Sesshoumaru about what the pup did all over his flowers. Hopefully he won' t get mad!
She ran through the halls calling out Sesshoumaru's name. As always, she didn't watch in front of her so most servants knew to look out for a speeding 10 year old, but Jaken never seemed to get out of the way fast enough. Or pay much attention to where he was going either.
So, the short toad demon was running toward Sesshoumaru's chambers just as fast as Rin was. He heard an odd sound.
Still running, he turned his head slightly to the side only to see Rin coming up behind him at an incredible speed. She wasn't looking in front of her, therefore, only one deduction could be made.
"RIN, LOOK OUT!" But it was too late.
She had hit, tripped and landed on him in less than three seconds.
"Ooowwww!" Rin howled.
Jaken was nothing less than unconscious and the pup was still safe in her arms.
Rin got up off Jaken and looked around, finally looking down at the Toad, who oddly resembled the present the pup left in the garden only a few minutes before. Except for the color, of course.
"Oh, Master Jaken! Are you okay?" Rin asked, actually concerned.
Jaken just groaned out a few syllables; parts of words Rin was too young to hear.
Scraping Jaken off the floor, Rin was met with a cold stare from Sesshoumaru. "Ano . . . "
"What is the meaning of this, Rin?" Sesshoumaru asked, although he had a really good idea.
"Well, Rin was coming to tell you about what Fluffy did and Jaken got in the way of Rin's running, and he tripped me."
Jaken only wobbled unsteadily and mumbled. Maybe Rin had done some serious damage, this time.
"What did it do?" Sesshoumaru asked, hoping the pup had done something bad enough to be thrown out of Rin's balcony. Of course he didn't let that show on his face.
"Well . . . Rin was playing with him and . . . " she stopped short when the pup began to squirm.
Fluffy jumped from her hands and looked around in curiosity. Circling Rin, and stopping behind her. He barked a few times at nothing in particular and said nothing important, either.
The pup dove through Rin's legs, landing in front of Sesshoumaru, only to run around him and through the nearest open door:
Sesshoumaru's chamber.
Before Rin could actually put together what had happened, Sesshoumaru was at his bedroom door, growling at the, now hidden, pup.
Jaken, snapping out of his little daze, calculated what happened and ran to Rin's side. She stood behind Sesshoumaru.
"See? You baka girl! Your pup only brings dire consequences to you AND ME!"
Rin frowned at Jaken. "Master Jaken, is lord Sesshoumaru upset at me?" He never got angry at her. Sure, he beat Jaken and growled at others, but even when she did something wrong, he just told her of her mistake and had her fix it. That was all.
Jaken would have bonked Rin on the head with his staff, but unfortunately he'd left it where he fell. "NO, He's not upset. HE'S MAD! He doesn't even allow me into his chambers, let alone another dog! Another dog who will probably try to sqirt his icky urine all over the place!"
Rin gasped after contemplating what her lord wanted to do to that pup right now.
Mad, jealous dog hated, but innocent puppy (It was pretty obvious what it equals)?
Rin gasped again. Total hell. Puppy guts here and there or the cleaner choice, puppy remains splattered all over the ground, under the balcony outside. Both choices will leave you with a very, very satisfied dog and a VERY dead pup.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, please! Let Rin find the pup, pleeeaaaassseee!" Rin whined, teary eyed.
Sesshoumaru tried not to look at her but once he did look, he tried to ignore the puppy-dog eyes she gave him. 'She reminds me of that . . . mutt'. He thought, bitterly. But the look was much more convincing on her than a flea-bag!
"You have less than five minutes, no exceptions."
Rin sighed and rushed in. First, stopping in awe of her lord's room. It wasn't her fist time in there, but he had redecorated since her last visit. It looked better than before. Much better!
"Wow!" It also looked bigger than before, but that wasn't important. Right now, the bed was important. It was, also, big, and looked very comfortable. How could he not sleep so much in it!? He barely slept at all and had a bed like this!
"Less than four minutes."
Sesshoumaru cold voice startled Rin so much, she almost fell. "Fluffy!" she called.
Sesshoumaru was becoming more and more impatient and his anger was rising more and more. Need. To. Release. Anger. Now.
Jaken looked up at Sesshoumaru, who now, had an evil look in his eyes. Pain.
Jaken knew that look too well. "Ah, milord?" He should've just kept his big, beak-like mouth shut!
Sesshoumaru kicked him. Hard.
Not as relieved as I would have been eliminating the pup, but it'll have to do, the lord thought.
Turning back to Rin, he announced the time she had left. "Two minutes."
Rin was out of sight now. Somewhere in the room, still searching for her pup, whose life was on the line. Damn dog didn't know how much danger he was in! Didn't his mom ever tell him that big, angry dogs(inuyoukai, especially) were a no-no to go near!?
Sesshoumaru stepped into his chamber and sniffed the air. Rin was in the direction of the balcony and the pup was . . .on the bed.
On HIS bed.
Sesshoumaru growled, and it was loud enough this time, that Rin heard. All the way from the outdoor balcony, where she stood.
She rushed from the balcony and stopped a few feet from her lord. Standing beside the bed, she called, "Lord Sesshoumaru?"
Jaken rushed in the room. "Oh dear." The foot-print still present on his face.
Since Jaken was too short to see over the bed, he didn't notice the pup there. But Rin was tall enough. She looked to her right, in the center of the large bed(or futon) was her cuddly, little pup.
Across the room was Sesshoumaru, nearly red-eyed and growling. Save the pup or save yourself.
It would be suicide to jump in the path of an angry Sesshoumaru. Even her ten year old mind knew this!
Saving the pup, Rin decided, was worth the risk. She leaped onto the bed(or futon) just as Sesshoumaru pounced toward the futon(or bed).
In reality Sesshoumaru would have made into the bed before Rin with time to shred the pup up and catch Rin before she landed on his bed, but he slowed down a bit, for her sake. He really didn't want to scare her and have her fear him, for any reason. The pup's death wasn't that important.
Luckily no one was around with skilled enough eyes to see how he'd slowed down just a smidget. (How sweet).
Rin dived onto the bed and grabbed the pup, holding it tightly into her arms, as she cuddled into the silk sheets for protection. (Sorry but I had to say this, just try to imagine Rin diving on the bed, matrix style). She had the vague fear of him not stopping in time. He moved so fast!! But was able to stop on a dime. It was amazing, really.
Sesshoumaru landed just before the bed, gracefully on his feet. Rin was still digging deeper into his sheets with the pup in her hands. Damn this!
Rin sighed once she realized that no pain had been inflicted upon her. "Lord Sesshoumaru?"
"Get off Lord Sesshoumaru's bed, wench!" Jaken yelled, entering the room even farther.
Sesshoumaru growled at Jaken, basically kicking him out. No one invited him in. That ungrateful, rude, yapping bug!!(Anyone can tell how spiteful Sessy is being, now?)
Rin turned to face Sesshoumaru in the bed. "Rin will get the pup out, please don't hurt him."
Sesshoumaru wanted to sigh, but didn't. "Leave." He ordered, turning away to look out the balcony.
Rin smiled once she realized he was back to normal. "Okay!" she said.
Standing up on his bed and letting the pup jump down to run out of the room, Rin reached up to pet Sesshoumaru on the head. It wasn't meant as anything disrespectful, but the urge just wouldn't let up.
Being totally oblivious to Sesshoumaru's ever rising anger (and embarrassment), Rin skipped out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
A moment later, she opened the door again, forgetting to knock. A wide smile was planted on her face as she grinned over at her lord.
He didn't bother to spare her a glance, but she knew he saw her.
"Thank you, Lord Sesshoumaru." She said, sweetly.
He was still facing the balcony. The door where she stood was on his left side, so he could see her out of his periphil view. He turned slightly, at her words. The only acknowledgement she would get that he had heard her.
But that was enough for her, as she skipped out the room, shutting the door, lightly.
Sesshoumaru sat at the edge of the bed(or futon). Sighing to calm down. She's only human, besides no one actually saw her . . . pet. . . . me, he thought.
Releasing another sigh, Sesshoumaru laid back on the bed. Peace, finally. Then it hit him.
The scent.
His bed, his room, his favorite, custom-made, silk sheets--it all reeked of mutt! The little runt was slowly claiming everything in the castle, piece by little piece.
He had even taken . . . Rin!
A.N- Hey, I'm back. Thanks for more than sixty reviews, which has really made my spring break a wonderful one! Besides the beach trips, oops! That isn't even relevant. Anyhow, thanks again for the reviews, I'm happy to serve you all with this fic, please continue to enjoy it, because I do enjoy writing it.
Question: Does anyone know a website that's dedicated to the anime 'Gad Guard'? Or a place that is for fan fictions and had it listed, because ff.n doesn't.(This question is no longer relevant. FF has added GG.)
Edited: 2.22.08. Added sentenced, fixed grammar mistakes, and changed Rin's age from 12 to 10.
