Rin's Four Legged Obsession
Chapter 9: You Lost My Pup!
Sesshoumaru placed Rin on her bed, and tucked her in. She was getting big. Older. This could become a problem soon . . .
Turning and walking toward the door to leave, Sesshoumaru looked back, frowning.
Rin was up, no longer asleep. She instantly looked at him. He continued walking but she called out to him. So he stopped, turning to her.
Rin smiled and got up out of the bed, abeit a bit unsteadily. She looked around her room as she walked over to him, either looking for her pup, or just looking for the sake of looking.
When she stopped before him, she bowed her head, blushing. Even with her flushed cheeks, Sesshoumaru could more redness spread.
"Lord Sesshoumaru, Rin is kinda afraid to sleep in here." When she glanced up at him, she noticed his frown hadn't left(he usually puts up that emotionless facade), so she quickly defended her reasons, "It's dark and cold and makes spooky noises. And if Fluffy isn't here to sleep with me, I can't go to bed!! I'll stay up the whole night!"
Sesshoumaru raised a brow. He was sure she was over those little fears. He had hoped she was, anyway.
He turned on his heels, walking out of the room. Rin on his tail, following closely. For someone who was supposed to be tired, she sure didn't seem tired. She skipped and twirled and clapped a few times, causing the sound to echo throughout the hall. Yea, she didn't seem like she had just woken up.
Sesshoumaru stopped outside his office door and looked around. Neither Jaken, nor Ryo was around. The pup was no where insight either. Sniffing the air, he realized they weren't even inside the castle.
"Go to the room," Sesshoumaru ordered as he walked in the opposite direction.
"But Rin doesn't want to be alone," Rin squeeked, "that's why I want to sleep with you!"
Sesshoumaru nearly sighed, but opted to not to. He didn't sigh. "Come, then."
He led Rin to the front doors of the castle and walked out. He sniffed the air, unoticably, as he headed toward the garden on the side of his home.
And low and behold, there lay Jaken and Ryo, sprawled out on his flowers. The pup was on top of Ryo's belly sleeping. His little hindpaws twitching as he dreamed.
Rin gasped in joy. "How kawaii!" She squealed.
Sesshoumaru actually did sigh this time. How could Ryo actually do this, betray him like that? He was so sure that the coyote youkai hated the pup as much as he did, but looks like he was wrong...Just for that, Ryo would have bathroom duty! And Rin made a big mess in the bath, after playing outdoors and training all day.
Sesshoumaru expected Rin to run over and pick up the pup, but instead she stayed by him. She had a smiled spread on her face from ear to ear, though.
"What is so amusing?" Sesshoumaru asked.
Rin just smiled. "Rin thought Ryo didn't like Fluffily but now I know he does!"
That's it? That's all it takes to cheer her up, something so simple. Well he should have expected that, every since he had revived her, she had been easy to cheer up, smiling at the simpliest things.
Sesshoumaru turned and begin to walk away. He'd let them sleep outside, if just for tonight. Hopefully it would rain on them.
Maybe tomorrow, he'd send to them a village to get the pup food, so he can rest. Or maybe the three of them could starve to death...that idea was a lot more appealling.
Rin skipped along behind him, humming. It sounded like a nice song, but it wasn't his song. This song was different from the song she sang, when he left, as she'd wait for him to come back.
"Rin."
Rin continued to hum, then stopped and answered Sesshoumaru. "Yes, milord?"
"You do not wish to take the pup with you to sleep?"
Rin placed her index finger on her chin. "Hmm . . . Not really. He looks happy sleeping with Ryo and Jaken, so I'll let him stay."
Sesshoumaru nodded once. At least he'll have Rin for one night without worrying about the pup bothering them.
Satisfied with the way things were going, the taiyoukai smiled mentally to himself. Just like old times . . .
Finally reaching his room, Sesshoumaru opened the door and let Rin in. She smiled as she entered his room. He had, yet again, redesigned it. Those oh-so-comfortable, silk sheets he'd had on his bed, when the pup laid on it, were gone.
Rin smiled as she made her way to the big, comfy-looking bed. Boy was she going to sleep well in this bed. Even though he had moved the other silk sheets, he had new, equally as comfty, sheets on, now.
Sesshoumaru shut the door and made his way to his bed. Finally rest and relaxation. With his Rin.
Upon laying on the bed, Rin was immediately alseep. And even though he didn't 'sleep', Sesshoumaru dozed lightly, closing his eyes.
Not a few hours later, was he growling as he turned(gracefully) onto his back. What in the world was bothering him so much that he couldn't sleep properly.
Something kicked his thigh.
Damn this! He thought as he opened his eyes narrowly. Then there was a sharp pain in his chest.Enough of this!
Sesshoumaru sat up and looked to his right. There sleeping peacefully was Rin. She turned sideways, so she was laying horizontally on the bed, rather than vertically. And kicked her legs out, barely missing his very special (and needed) nether regions.
He kind of wished he had slept in his armor. She had one foot on his chest, so when he sat up, it dropped down to his thigh, where her other foot lay, resting.
She would not sleep here, anymore. By morning she would have subconsciously beaten him to a pulp. Now he knew why he never let her sleep, overnight, with him.
Again, she turned, her knee hitting him and to gut as her hand tangled in his hair (it was so long, even as he sat up, it still lay spread around him on the bed). She yanked the silver locks, then relaxed again, breathing peacefully through her mouth. (Her nose was stopped up).
Maybe she wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor or in a closet, or even outside with her pup. She slept deep enough that she probably wouldn't wake up, anyway.
Rin turned again but Sesshoumaru quickly caught her leg. She was trying to kill him or injure him very badly, in her sleep.
Sesshoumaru moved away from Rin, but didn't get very far, realizing there was no more space on the bed. He looked to the right of Rin, and noticed she had moved a hell of a lot throughout the night. There was so much space beside her, and yet she continued to move, hit, roll, and kick on him. He was nearly off the bed!
Sesshoumaru lifted Rin up and moved her over. Maybe for the rest of the night she'd stay in place. But alas, he was wrong. Very wrong.
Less than a minute after he'd laid back down, he felt a sharp pain in his back. She kicked him. Hard.
He sat up again and looked at her. Now she was spread out on the bed, with her foot in his side, her other foot near his pillow, and her head and arms nearly off the bed.Humans...
Finally realizing he wasn't going to sleep tonight, Sesshoumaru, sat up and read one of his books. Every once in a while, Rin would toss or turn, and nearly knock him out or something close to it, and he'll have to catch her flying leg or arm.
A few times, she nearly fell of the bed(head, first), but he would grab the closest body part to him, and pull her back, securely on the bed.
Morning came fast, for Rin at least. Sesshoumaru felt as though he'd been in a battle, fighting all night with a competitive foe. And although Rin wasn't a foe, she had Sesshoumaru doing a hell of a lot of protecting himself.
She yawned as she sat up. "Good morning, Lord Sesshoumaru." She smiled, brightly.
Sesshoumaru nearly yawned, but held it back. He glanced at her, before looking back down at his book. "Good morning, Rin."
She stretched and looked into the book he was reading. "What are you reading, milord?"
Sesshoumaru stared at the book. He'd only read about two pages the whole night. If he wasn't trying to fend off one of her kicks, he was trying to stay awake, so he wouldn't get hit by constantly moving limbs.
"It is no longer interesting," He said, monotonously. He honestly didn't remember what the book was about or what was on the two pages he had read...
"Oh . . . well, Rin is hungry, wanna go eat?"
Sesshoumaru nodded. "Go clean yourself, then we'll meet in the dinning hall."
Rin nodded and rushed off to her room. "Can we go to a village today, milord?" Rin asked with pleading eyes.
Sesshoumaru raised a brow. Why does she want to go to a village? He nodded. "Later."
Rin squealed and rushed out.
Sighing, Sesshoumaru closed his eyes, just resting, not sleeping, not yet.
Rin rushed to get dress, leaping out into the hall, and ran to the dinning area to wait for her lord.
He came only a few minutes after she did. Smiling, she headed to her seat and waited for the chef.
"Good morning, Lord Sesshoumaru, Lady Rin," He said as cheerfully as ever.
Rin smiled, larger. "Good morning!"
Sesshoumaru just nodded.
"Where is your pup, Lady Rin?" The chef asked.
Rin gasped. She'd nearly forgotten about him. "He is with Ryo and Master Jaken. Rin will go get him now, can you please cook him some beef?"
Sesshoumaru nearly growled. She had been feeding the pup beef? His beef? He looked over to Rin, then at the chef and raised a brow. Wonder what he will do? Surely he wouldn't feed another dog his food, right before Lord Sesshoumaru...
Rin excused herself and ran outside to get Fluffy. Sesshoumaru eyed the chef, waiting to see what he'd do.
The chef twitched nervously under Sesshoumaru deadly glare. "I think I should . . . " he started.
Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes. Feed the pup his beef and die or don't feed the pup and Rin cries and the pup dies of starvation?
"You should what?" Sesshoumaru said in his usual cold voice, but a bit more menacingly.
The chef began to sweat. "I should . . . -" he was cut off by Rin's yelling.
Ryo and Jaken came running into dinning hall, yelling something about it wasn't their fault. Then came in Rin, who was apple red and had tears in her eyes, yelling about her pup.
"You had him last and now Rin's pup is gone!" Rin yelled.
Jaken pulled up his staff to defend himself, but Rin threw a bowl at him and it crashed onto the heads of the staff.
"When I woke, he wasn't there . . . we'll find him, just give us time!" Ryo shouted.
Jaken just trembled. Ryo hid behind Jaken, although he was way too tall to actually call it 'hiding'.
Rin growled then started to cry, running over to Sesshoumaru. She buried her head in his shoulder. "Fluffy is missing, and Ryo and Master Jaken does not know where he is!" She wailed.
Sesshoumaru gave Jaken and Ryo one of his deadly glares. "Find the pup and return it here," He ordered, coldly.
Even if he didn't want the dog back, Rin did. And, well, that's all that mattered.
They both nodded and stumbled over each other, trying to get out. Ryo actually stepped on Jaken but tripped and fell when Jaken grabbed his ankle.
"Please hurry. He could be in danger!" Cried Rin, as she tried to follow them.
Sesshoumaru kept a tight grip on her wrist. "Stay, we will go to the village, if you still wish to." He said.
Rin sniffed and wiped her tears on her sleeves. "Okay, we can go, Lord Sesshoumaru."
He nodded, but released her. "Eat, then we will leave."
Rin smiled, tears still in her eyes. "Okay."
A.N.- Hello y'all. I tried to make this long, and hopefully it is. I know I'm taking longer and longer to update, but I'm also taking a class online, and I have to download some things that my computer won't let me setup, so I've been trying and trying and freakin' trying some more, but to no avail. I'll have to try at school. Anyhow, thank you all VERY much for more than a hundred reviews. I almost fainted when I saw that 108 reviews. -starts to cry- You've made me the happiest girl in the world -sniffs- Anyhow, thanks again, and look out for an update.
Review please.
P.S.- I know this is a long author note, but I have a question. Ya see, I have an idea for another fic and it'll be called "The Girl Who is Always There." It's a SessRin fic about Rin's devotion to Sesshoumaru.
Edited: 3.1.08. Fixed Grammar mistakes and corrected sentences. NOTE: The story The Girl Who is Always There will be written. But I've read enough fics with a similar themes, so the theme has changed.
