A/N: Ok, so anyone who is a lover of Sessh/Rin reaaally needs to check out
episode 96. It was absolutely adorable. Is anyone else as angry as I am
about the fact that there have been two InuYasha movies and not one of them
has been officially released in the states yet? I have the first one (which
has absolutely TERRIBLE translations) but only I know the amount of
suffering I went through to get my hands on a very condensed summary of the
-second- movie. Gee, I guess if we're lucky then it'll be released 2 years
from now. DiLLiRgA points finger at life...yeah, THAT finger. What else...
hmm...oh yes: I'D JUST LIKE TO TELL YOU, MY AUDIENCE, THAT YOU'RE ALL A
BUNCH OF FRIGGIN GENIUSES.I SWEAR THOSE REVIEWS CRACK ME UP:)))) HONESTLY,
MY REVIEWERS HAVE MUCH BIGGER & BETTER IMAGINATIONS THAN I EVER COULD. YOU
GUYS ARE HILARIOUS.

DOWNSTAIRS (Sesshoumaru wanders in thought and is somewhat lost, perhaps because it is unfamiliar territory...)
Oh God Almighty, was there no winning with this wench? Not with this author there isn't. The lord's ears ached.and he was pissed. He had only meant to ruffle her feathers a bit...who knew she'd go all... feminine on him... Sheesh...women.
*Rin. For this Sesshoumaru it seems the battle has just begun...and it is clear that one of us will not make it out alive. It matters not. We will simply have to do without Jaken for a while.* Hehehe. What? You didn't think he was thinking about killing Rin did you? Poo on you, faithful readers.
And just what the hell was Rin doing upstairs? Well, let's just say that she was hating as opposed to appreciating.
"JAKEEEEEEEN!"
"What is it you moronic wench!"
"Why you stupid pea mutation!" *BONK* This year's Jaken will be sporting a very fashionable bump on his ugly green head. No Rin, Jaken won't look attractive no matter what you do. Now, I hate to say this, but Jaken wasn't going down without a fight. Oh Lord...
"Stupid witch! Just because Lord Sesshoumaru doesn't pay you attention doesn't mean that you'll get any from me- AACK!!" Tsk Tsk. Perhaps that wasn't the best choice of words at the moment. Alas, for the battle for the Staff of Heads had already commenced. It was a chaotic mess of arms and legs pushing and pulling, neither side willing to let go. Of course, the fact that the Staff of Heads seemed to have a mind of its own and kept firing flames every now and then certainly wasn't helping.
"TAKE THAT! NINTOUJOU!!!" It's a good thing Rin ducked. And it's a bad thing that Jaken wasn't looking at where he was aiming. Rin tried to stifle her chuckle, she really did. But right now, she couldn't make up her mind as to which was funnier: that fact that Jaken was about to make another trip to the netherworld or that Fluffy had gotten roasted- again.
Silence. The sound of a lonely cricket chirping. A ninja-like author with shoe in hand sneaking up behind that damn insect. SQUASH! Hehe. Gotcha.
*Honestly, did you have to kill him in my room? He's got his nasty blood everywhere!* (Not the cricket, people, we're talking about Jaken:) "Ewwwww... icky," she said as she carefully stepped over the stains, meanwhile refusing to look at the Lord. She walked over to her bed, climbed on and put her hands behind her head, humming a little ditty to herself whilst still ignoring the second 'entity' in the room. Yes, it was official: Rin was just chillin'.
*You dare to ignore me? We shall see about that.* "I do not recall giving you permission to leave the discussion Rin." *Wench.*
*Oh so it's like that now, huh?* "Actually, I don't recall asking for any Sesshoumaru." *Oops. I'm sure I meant Sesshoumaru-sama. Oh well.*
"I am several hundred years your elder, you will address me with the proper title." (A/N: yeah, let's get some R E S P E C T up in here).
*This I am aware of, you damn cradle-robber* "So basically you're not done insulting me, is that it? You're just inventing new ways to call me a child. Why don't you just- " *go turn into a human or something* "just...just leave me alone." She didn't yell that last part. What was the point anymore? We've already established that his ears work.
At this point in time, the youkai really couldn't bother anymore either. If that was the way she wanted it, then so be it. He did have better things to do. Well... ok fine so maybe he didn't but anything was better right now than putting up with her. So, he did what a lot of men have perfected the art of: he started to leave (A/N: no offense to my male audience, I've got nuthin but love for all of you:)
*He's.he's.leaving??? What the-! How dare he leave! You're not supposed to leave! No!..I'm sorryyy..I think. come back you idiot!.* "Wait!..I...don't leave Sesshoumaru-sama." Sesshoumaru stopped dead in his tracks but didn't turn around. A small smile formed on his face but disappeared in a mere second. *This is why I, Sesshoumaru, am undefeated...most of the time.* Damn that hanyou for tarnishing Sesshoumaru's otherwise flawless track record (just kidding:)
"Sesshoumaru-sama? How about we finish our discussion?" *I suppose I won't give myself a hernia just yet.*
Sesshoumaru sat down and Rin did the same thing, facing him. Although, she had failed to notice that the pile of Jaken goo was strategically placed behind her and the smell was now starting to make her dizzy. She chose to ignore it for the time being, even though her stomach was doing some impressive somersaults.
Sesshoumaru initiated the conversation with yet another one of his charming statements.
"I do not know why I put up with you." *I do...but I will be damned if I let you know, especially after that display downstairs.*
Rin just pouted and looked down into her lap. *Geez, add insult to a girl's injury why don't you...* "I'm sorry..."
"I highly doubt it so do not bother apologizing."
(A/N: well f*** you to you too buddy).
*Gosh I feel sick... why the hell is everything starting to blur?* "Sesshoumaru-sama..uuh... I really don't feel well."
*Do not dare to pull such a stunt on me now.* "What is the problem." *I will not fall for it.*
*Oh lord.someone stop the damn room from spinning please.* "Oh geez I must be dying.that smell is killing me." KERPLUNK. She fell forward, onto him. And before anyone can say what the !$#&?%, Fluffy has beaten you to it. Calm down people, she's alive, just fainted. The smell that she had referred to was Jaken's blood. It had no affect on Sesshoumaru as he was the farthest thing from a 'weak human' as you could get (damn him) but apparently Rin shouldn't have been exposed to it for such a duration. Figures the damn frog's blood would be toxic for a human... he's plaguing Rin even from the beyond. Ah, persistence is the key.
Sesshoumaru sighed mentally. Life (or the author) really needed to give him a break. He picked the wench..err..girl up, carried her into his room and placed her on his bed. She wasn't going to be very pleasant company when she woke up.
******************
SEVERAL LOOONG HOURS LATER.
"Ahhhhh..." she groaned with her eyes still closed. "I feel miserableeee." *and if anyone, and I mean ANYONE gives me doodoo right now, I'll make sure that they feel ten times as miserable as I do. You've got the Rin-chan garuantee on that one. What the heck happened to me?*
"You are awake." *Foolish wench...I am relieved.*
"KYAAA! Geez don't do that Sesshoumaru-sama!" *there goes another 10 years from my life. Thanks Fluffy.* "What happened?"
"Jaken's blood seems to be toxic for weak humans such as yourself."
*That stupid little- I'm gonna have his ass when he we resurrect him.* "Oh... How long have I been out?"
"Long enough." *I have been bored senseless.*
"Sesshoumaru-sama, you looked after me this whole time?" *Fluffy-sama you had better say yes...*
"Yes." *Of course you idiot. What did you expect me to do?*
*Hah! I knew I was doing -something- right. Mind you, I didn't know what, but it worked nevertheless!* "Sesshoumaru-sama...thank you." *And THAT was genuine.* His hand was right there, just begging for her to make her move. Come on, a little physical contact -needed- to start happening and, frankly, it couldn't make matters anything but better. So she inched her own hand forwards...slowly...bit by bit...
*What the heck am I doing?*
*What does she think she is doing?*
*I want to hold his hand dammit...or die trying*
*I only have one hand left Rin, you would not dare to inflict damage to it.*
And suddenly...she held his hand in hers. There now...that was rather painless wasn't it? The Lord took a good moment to analyze the situation at hand (A/N: pun alert!). What's a demon to do now? Well folks, coincidentally, Rin was pondering that very same question.
As fate (or the author) would have it, the door suddenly decided to fling open with a loud BOOM.
"KYAAAAAA!" she screamed, lunging herself onto the freaked-out-yet-never- faltering lord of the Western Lands. *What in the seven hells was that! Damn, there goes another 10 years of my life! What the heck am I clinging to? Ooooh... well... whatever came through that door, I should thank it later on hehehe...* Careful to remain in Sesshoumaru's arms, or how about we make that singular, arM, she tuned her head around to see whom she owed her luck to. Sigh... It had to be -him- didn't it.
Meanwhile, Sesshoumaru had not the opportunity to enjoy the close contact as he eyed the infiltrator. *To think that I, Sesshoumaru, am ever so naïve as to keep resurrecting you Jaken, is something -you- shall regret.*
"Sesshoumaru-sama!!! Please milord, do not let that human poison your judgment! I- "
"Silence Jaken." *Else you shall leave this earth for a second time tonight.*
Rin just smirked and stuck her tongue out at him. *Honestly toad, not even you could make me move right now...mental sigh*
"Jaken. Leave. See that you do not disturb me again tonight."
Now Jaken really knew better. He did... So he left... but in his twisted little mind, tomorrow was another day and Rin was going to feel every minute of it...Kukuku
Meanwhile, back in the room... some major hugging action was taking place. Neither one nor the other moved... hell, Rin was trying to stop breathing. She was nervous- they were making forward progress for a change!!! Sesshoumaru was having a mental episode: should he savor the moment? Should he take advantage of it? Should he leave it be and just keep it at the 'hugging level' for now? Hell, -I'd- like to now what he's planning to do.
Rin decided that they had filled their silence quota for the day. She pulled her head away from his chest and looked up into his eyes. (A/N: jeez I feel like breaking out into song:::)
"Sesshoumaru-sama?.."
He turned his head to the side to avoid her gaze. Of course... "Rin. Perhaps you should go to your room and rest."
She clenched her teeth. "No...I think I like it here just fine..." *Oh crap...guess I said that out loud...*
*Good girl* "It was not a question. It was a request."
Rin just smiled and lowered her head back onto his chest. And she made damn sure to hold onto him tighter. "Sesshoumaru-sama... if you make me leave now, I will personally make sure that Jaken is physically attached to you till the end of your days."
"Rin."
"Yes..."
"You are not to leave tonight. That is a request."
*Hehehe... there's a good doggy.*
Rin just smiled, all the while thinking that she had gotten her way and felt like she was in heaven. If she had bothered to look up, she would have seen the look of utter victory on the lord's face, as he thought: *Ah...tis a very effective method this reverse psychology...*

Well... at least I tried...don't hate:) Btw, living on a ramen diet definitely does wonders to a person... now I'm not gonna say whether these wonders are good are bad but...let's just say that my stomach has been cussing me out for the last half hour.
