Shrew
"What, exactly, are you?" Sesshomaru questioned an hour later when Rhian had finally stopped laughing.
"A lowly half breed my lady -- I mean, my LORD Sesshomaru." Rhian snickered as she gave the dog demon a deep curtsy. Her dark green bangs fell across her face slightly, hiding her mocking smile.
"I'd watch my tung if I were you girl."
"I've tried that before actually. But my tung got all dry and cracked from keeping it out for so long. Not to mention the fact people thought I was trying to offend them! It's best if I keep it in my mouth I think."
At that point, Inuyasha had covered his eyes with his hands and was muttering something under his breath. Kagome had to bite her lower lip so she wouldn't laugh out loud at Rhian's antics. And Rin was standing next to her, nodding her head every so often as if hanging on Rhian's every word and agreeing with her. Sesshomaru had had enough.
"What type of demon was your father girl?"
"Your guess is as good as mine, Fluffy." Rhian stated innocently just before both Kagome and Inuyasha burst out laughing. Sesshomaru glared at his younger brother out of the corner of his eye. Which only caused him to laugh harder.
"Fluffy? Tell me girl, do you have a wish to die, or are you just insane?"
Rhian's eyes became as hard as steal and her jaw tightened as she lean forward. "I don't know who my father was, demon. The only reason I know he even existed was because almost every other year my mother would come home with his sent and his unwanted child. As fare as I'm concerned, I have no father.
"And I have no fear of death, so saying you'll kill me has no effect on me. When it is my time, I shall embrace the moment. If that makes me insane however, so be it." With that, she left the others to sit on the ground by the woods.
Rin looked after her, tears in her eyes. "She holds great pain in her soul. You'll help her, wont you Sesshomaru? Please?"
"What makes you think she wants my help Rin?" Sesshomaru asked, resting one of his hands atop the girls raven hair.
"She doesn't want it. But she needs it. You'll help her though, right? I like her and she needs help. Please help her, for me...."
"For you Rin. Would you like her to remain with you until you grow old enough to rome the world freely?"
"Oh!! That would be so much fun! Could she really?!"
"Hold on! Sesshomaru, you can't do that! She's not some plaything you can give to Rin!" Kagome shouted angrily, pushing Inuyasha's hands away from her arm. "No Inuyasha, he can't do that, it's not right! He can't just say --"
"That damn wolf cub! I can't believe he followed me here! Damn it! Faolan, get your sorry tail out here boy! Your father is going to skin us BOTH alive for this one!" Rhian suddenly shouted out into the woods, her back ridged and her body seething with anger.
Slowly, the fifteen-year-old wolf demon stepped out of his hiding place, his head held high and his deep green eyes looked strait into Rhian's without shame. "I've come to ask you again to be my mate Rhian. This is your last chance however, for I don't plane on asking you again."
