A/N: I just love the fact that I've broken every grammar law known to man
with this story. Author's eyes begin to tear. It makes me so proud:) Here
is part one of the trilogy. Just know that my heart goes out to all the
poor souls reading this.you are forever in my prayers...kukuku....:) I'm
giving away Jaken cookies to everyone who reviews...wait, really, they're
not gonna KILL you...a side effect here or there never hurt anyone;)
*******
Under the false assumption that someone out there actually cares, I have decided to relate to the audience what a beautiful night it was outside. The moon was full, crickets were chirping, there was not a cloud in the sky, all was peaceful... too good to be true you ask? Quite. And thus the fear of impending mayhem is inevitable. Do not ignore that strange feeling that lurks at the bottom of your stomachs my faithful readers...for things are indeed about to go wrong. How wrong, only words can tell.
To recap the events of the past five minutes, Rin and Sesshoumaru had had another 'go-at-it' (no...not like that, ya perverts...) and Rin had found herself downstairs, being tempted into a new scheme by none other than our favorite imp. And there they stood as Rin listened with the utmost curiosity. They say that curiosity killed the cat, no one never said nuthin' 'bout humans.
"Alright froggie, you've got my attention. I promise I won't hurt you before I hear what you have to say. Now out with it," Rin said as gently as was humanly possible.
*Brat, I have you right where I want you.* "Listen here you ugly- ah... Rin... what if I were to tell you that I have obtained a special -elixir- that, if and when you consume, will change your scent..."
*And I'd want to do that because...???* "To what exactly?"
*Good question...I'm not exactly sure but I am assuming that...* ............ "You will smell as if you have been around another male."
"Ok...now you've completely lost me. Why in the name of all that's sane in this world would I -ever- even -think- about doing that? Do you want Sesshoumaru-sama to go berserk?" *Not to mention lose the little mind he has left?! Hmm... Maybe it's best not to think that one out loud.* Good girl. The walls seem to have ears in this place...
"You stupid human! Always thinking so simply. Don't you understand that this will make him jealous!? He will be confessing his affections towards you- God only knows why- in no time. He fears losing you, don't ask me why for I have spent ten years of my life trying to determine a reason." *Kukuku. If only this were true. Drink this and I have been assured by that miko- in- training that in no time you will have the most offensive scent that not even Sesshoumaru-sama will be able to stand you. It has been a pleasure knowing you Rin...well...perhaps I am lying. Sayonara Rin no baka ningen!*
Payback's a full-blooded bitch.
But let's give Rin a little credit, for amidst those cobwebs lies a fairly new- if somewhat untouched- brain, just begging to be used.
*There must be more to this. He honestly thinks that I'm going to fall for it that easily...Jaken you stupid little heap of moving spinach...I'm gonna get you for this...whatever -this- is.* "Why oh why would you ever assume that I would trust you with such a thing? And since when do you want to help me out anyway?" She squinted her eyes at him and gave her best sideways glance.
"You ungrateful wench! I go to all this trouble just to help you out and you repay me with insults and distrust! Haven't I cared for you all these years!" *If we don't count the times I've almost -accidentally- killed you, that is.*
"Oh yeah you've cared for me all right...and if I know you, you'll care for me right off a cliff too... I know you're scheming something and I'm not going to fall for it!" So she performed her trademark nose-lifting ritual and waited to be convinced as to why she would be stupid enough to accept such thing. Answer: because the fates have foretold that you will Rin:)
"Listen you pest, you've been causing too much trouble for Sesshoumaru-sama lately and when he's mad at you he gets violent on me. It ain't fair so I've decided to handle the situation MY way. Now, you can either take the elixir and trust me, or you can refuse and wait for Sesshoumaru-sama to get tired of killing me and start on you instead!"
Rin looked surprised by that statement. Goodness knows why. "He would never!"
Jaken just blinked. Rin stood there and thought for a moment. *Then again...we ARE talking about the almighty ruler of the baka lands...oh what the hell...*
"Ok fine! Give me the damn thing!" Her face suddenly grew dark and the background flared with a red aura. (A/N: I paint quite a picture, don't I. Ring the rhetorical question siren.) "But Jaken you have my solemn promise that if ANYTHING goes wrong, you will not only be facing me but my friends Smash, Kick, Punch, Kill, Destroy and Annihilate as well." And then all turned cheerful once again as she smiled and said: "Ok?"
Al grew silent. That child is friggin' scary when she wants to be. Jaken just gawked as she clutched the elixir from his hands and ran off in some random direction. Hmmm... perhaps this wasn't one of his brighter ideas? Nah... Everything would work out fine... doesn't it always? Hehe.......hehehehe...
Meanwhile, back upstairs, Sesshoumaru pondered his new curse. He replayed Rin's sentence in his head: *I...I HATE YOU!! I HATE YOU, HATE YOU, HATE YOU!* And after replaying it several more times (from different angles and also in slow motion), he came up with the best conclusion: *Yes...she most certainly wants this Sesshoumaru.* Author sweatdrops. Some people are just born optimists:)
It was several minutes later that he heard the sound of someone coming up the stairs. Ah yes...it was his little minion again. She was back for another round of verbal abuse. Let us switch back to Rin's viewing.
*Hahahaha how dumb does he think I am? Just because I agreed to drink this stuff doesn't mean that I'm going to be the only one doing the drinking. Oooh no sir, not this Rin. If I'm risking my life then so is he... Now, where did I last scream at him?* And thus, with two drinks in hand, she walked back upstairs to meet the second victim, er, 'volunteer.'
"Sesshoumaru-samaaa?"
He didn't answer her but she knew that he was there in his room, probably still holding onto his ears for dear life. That overgrown poodle. Rin decided that he needed a drink...and dammit, she was going to scream him senseless if he had the nerve to refuse... Of course we all know that when it comes to nerves, our dear Sesshoumaru-sama is not one who lacks. Ah but if we could all be like him...shudder...
Rin knocked on his door and entered. It was quite difficult to see in the dark but she noticed a pair of eyes, glowing mind you, and looking her way interestedly. It was time for action. Sesshoumaru was prepared. But the attack came in a new form called...niceness? Something was horribly wrong. He cringed on the inside.
"Sesshoumaru-sama I made us drinks. Here." This seemed the safest way to go about it. Sesshoumaru took the offered drink somewhat reluctantly and sniffed it. The smell did not seem poisonous but something just didn't feel right. Does it ever? Rin noticed this as she frowned and squinted her eyes at him in a "you'd-better-drink-that-because-your-hearing-depends-on-it" sort of way. Sesshoumaru seemed to understand and refrained from commenting. Such accomplished telepathics we have here. Well, she had said that she had made it, right? What on earth could possibly go wrong? Never ask such futile questions. So Rin sat down next to him and the there they were...just sitting...and...not speaking... enter the cricket. Enter the author and her shoe...carry on everyone!
*I'm going to be bold and drink this thing. After all, Jaken doesn't have enough brains to plot something evil that would actually work. And after all, whatever happens to me will happen to Fluffy-sama too so I really have nothing to worry about, right? Right! Here goes!* Self-assurance is the key. So she downed it. AND THEN!.. nothing happened... so she continued to sit there for several more minutes... nothing seemed to change... It wasn't until she got the feeling that Sesshoumaru was, in a very guarded sort of way, sniffing the air, that she had a glimmer of hope. And what a perfect time for the author to smash that hope to inconceivable dust particles followed by oblivion. Was that mean? Ah but did I not mention the fates being cruel...
Sesshoumaru felt it getting incredibly hot in the room. What the heck was going on? One minute her scent was normal and the next- it seemed to be screaming arousal. It was enough to attract every male demon from here to Cucamonga:). *What on Earth is she thinking! Such a strong scent is giving this Sesshoumaru a headache. If she keeps this up we will have every male demon in the lands trying to get their filthy hands on her. I do not wish to bother with those lowlifes at the moment. -* But he was startled out of his thoughts by Rin urging him to finish his drink, which he had obviously forgotten.
Rin, of course, was trying not to smile but man, it just wasn't happenin'. She was just too damn pleased with herself for having that drink. She couldn't help but think: *This is perfect! He's starting to go red! But hey...wait a minute...isn't the color of jealousy green? There's something wrong with this picture...* No sooner had she finished her thought that she noticed him take his final sip. Now I beg the audience to realize one crucial factor: things such as elixirs and potions or whatever the Hell you're consuming, have different effects on that of the human and demon species. Unfortunately for us, Rin's thinking only went so far in this current situation. Such young minds... how fun they are to scar:)
Yet they continued to sit and gaze into beautiful nothingness until Rin turned to face him. 'Twas time to break the silence. But apparently it was not meant to be as her mouth remained open, inviting precious air molecules in and out... Sesshoumaru still faced forward yet he snuck a glance at what she seemed so interested in. Funny, he never knew eyes could get that big.
*What does she think she is staring at? Impossible girl...*
But Rin just kept on staring and it remained this way for a good minute until she finally managed to effectively articulate her confusion to whatever God may be listening: "...Eh...?"
Sesshoumaru was getting peeved. *What is this? My vision is dulling...perhaps this Sesshoumaru is tired. 'Tis strange though, her scent is not bothersome anymore...in fact, I do not smell a thing. Did she say something a moment ago? She has screamed so much it must be having a deafening side effect.*
But Rin's version of events was of a somewhat different nature: *His hair... has gone...black...ok... no, I refuse to believe that -I- am going crazy. Let me look again. Okaaaaaaay so yes, it is black.* Looking up at his face she realizes: *Funny, I remember him having stripes on his cheeks...and wait a minute, didn't he have a crescent moon on his forehead? I'm confused... no, scratch that, I'm scared... Kyaaaaa anyone?*
She gulped. She had no clue as to what was going on but he sure as Hell wasn't going to be pleased about this. Now that's a no-brainer. He, on the other hand, was getting fed up with her staring. "What is it Rin?" *I suggest your answer to be something in the form of a compliment. For -your sake.*
"Ehehehe..." she laughed nervously... "Sesshoumaru-sama, did I tell you lately that I think the world of you?" Sh*t was getting ready to hit the fan, eyes were getting ready to squint. But really, how does one go about telling a proud full-blooded demon that he's starting to look...human? Easy- you do it one compliment at a time.
He put on his "I-am-so-unfazed-it's-not-even-funny" look. Rin just gulped some more while thinking: *Right...didn't think so...* "Sesshoumaru- sama...do you ah...-feel- a little different by any chance?" True that one must always use caution while operating heavy machinery but one ought to use a ten foot pole while dealing with such a -sensitive- situation as the aforementioned.
"Why?" *Indeed I do but how would a human be able to sense such a thing?*
"Well...ah..." *Let's see, how do I put this gently?* "You look rather...ah...what's the word..."
He arched another eyebrow and waited. *Handsome is the word you are searching for my dear.*
Rin gulped one last time. "Umm...human...ehehe...you look rather human...?" She squeaked. He frowned. He took a strand of his hair into his hand and brought it closer. Yep...there was no other name for it...it was black. She could tell he was getting angry and what's worse, angry at HER. He got up and went towards a mirror. He looked, his reflection looked back.
After another moment or two of silence, he calmly walked back to where Rin was sitting and sat down next to her. In that charmingly arrogant voice that he pulls off so nicely, he asked her softly: "Rin, just what was in that drink?" she looked into his eyes and her lower lip started to tremble. Enter the sniffing.
"THERE IS NO CRYING!..ahem... there is no need to cry Rin." He said hastily and somewhat loudly. Hey, you try keeping your marbles in check at a time like this. But hey, she stopped sniffing and answered silently: "I...don't know... Jaken gave it to me...It's all his fault!!!" *God damn *^#$%**&&^%%$##! Oh he is sooo going to get his!*
Sesshoumaru simply nodded and called: "Jaken." The faithful servant bustled up the stairs with a smile on his face...that is, until he stood before his master who, if he were a demon at the moment, would have been glowing as red as a traffic light. Jaken just let his mouth hang and his voice crack. "AA.a.a.a.a.a.a..." And in that moment of blind rage, Sesshoumaru simply took out his lethal sword Toukijin. Thus ended Jaken's life for the umpteenth time that week. It seems he is going for the record.
Sesshoumaru simply turned back to face Rin and he seemed somewhat calmer. Rin just continued her gulping session. She really wished she were someone else right now. In fact, she wouldn't mind being in that Jerken's place.
"Umm...Sesshoumaru-sama?...Ehehe...Jaken is the only one who knows how to undo this," she said, noticing the fact that her body chemistry seemed very male-friendly at the moment. Sesshoumaru seemed upset at this new revelation but took out Tenseiga nevertheless. He walked up to the pile o' Jaken and struck with his sword. He did this once. He did this twice. Alas, the third time was not the charm. It seems that Tenseiga had not taken a liking to his new-and-unimproved human version. He looked at Rin and, yes, Hell was in his eyes.
"Ehehehehe..." Rin tried lamely, "This is a...good look...for you...??" *He's trying to growl...it's not working... poo:(... -ENTER, two gals that, as always, need no real introduction-
Hello Rin dear! Guess who's here for the show...kukuku...
Oh no...*
*****Switch to Sesshoumaru*****
*Well darling, let's face it, it could always be worse...
How could it possibly be worse you imbecile!
Well...I could be here to make fun of you in person...kukuku...
Grrrrrrrrr...*
For those of us who have yet to understand, Sesshoumaru, as a side effect of a spell that was meant only for a human, has turned 100% full-blooded human. I leave abundant room for your imaginations. Jaken was dead -no surprise there- and Tenseiga absolutely refused to work for a human. Thus there was no way to revive the sacrifice..er..Jaken. For the one time when he would hold purpose in his life, Jaken was not alive to fulfill it. Without him, there was no way of knowing how long the spell was to last, if indeed it would or would not wear off on its own (thus begging the question: do we need to find a cure for the damn thing? If one exists...kukuku:) and if further side effects were to be expected. Of course, our little minion Rin is not to be forgotten. With the heat on full blast, she was like a little bonfire, vulnerable to assault by any male demon that should desire a...mate, shall we say. If and when Jaken was brought back, he would pay. His children would pay...his entire lineage would pay. Hard times stood before our couple-to-be. On top of all this, they were alone with one another. Yep, it was just the four of them: Rin- chan, Sesshoumaru-sama and...their respective voices. Now THAT takes the friggin' cake.
To be conspired...

With the heat on full blast, she was like a little bonfire, vulnerable to assault by any male demon that should desire a...mate, shall we say. If and when Jaken was brought back, he would pay. His children would pay...his entire lineage would pay. Hard times stood before our couple-to-be. On top of all this, they were alone with one another. Yep, it was just the four of them: Rin- chan, Sesshoumaru-sama and...their respective voices. Now THAT takes the friggin' cake.
To be conspired...
