AN: Okay. I must admit that I'm not entirely inspired enough to write but I'm going to try. So as usual I hope you enjoy, and review.

Little Red Riding Rin

Chapter Two

Weakness

- Last Time –

Sesshoumaru let out a grunt as he caught the fainting Rin. He assumed that the small mouse scurrying away from her had been the cause of her surprise and despite his better judgment he let out a soft chuckle that caused her to awaken. She looked up at him and smiled, much to his surprise he smiled back.

"Hello Sesshoumaru-Sama."

"Hello Rin."

"I uh . . . brought you your cloak."

- Now –

It was always a matter of pride to him and many other demons that they had no need to steal from humans for food. He had claws, he had fangs, he could hunt, it was absolutely insulting to have to steal his food. In fact, he had once sworn that he would never touch human food.

He reached across her lap to grab another pastry from the basket she had brought. After returning his cloak to him he had caught sight of the large basket she had on her other arm. At the scent of it his stomach let out a loud grumble to which she let out a soft giggle and offered him a small, warm bowl of rice.

Now he had spent nearly an hour sitting next to her, eating her food in silence. He had hardly spoken to her when she spoke.

"Sesshoumaru-sama. Why did you save me?"

This had been a question that he himself had been pondering for a long time. Ever since her face began to haunt his dreams the question had become more important then ever. Now he came up with the most eloquent answer that he could think of on such a short notice.

He shrugged

Causing another fit of giggles to come from her...

The sound was pleasant to his ears and before he could help himself he felt his arm go around her shoulder. She was stiff under him for a second and then she relaxed. He couldn't help but inhale her scent, it wrapped around him and his eyes closed. She nestled against him and he let out an affectionate grunt and numbly stroked her hair. He hardly knew her and already his feelings for her were starting to grow, unfortunately he knew this would be a weakness.

And as Naraku watched the scene between the two...he saw the weakness too.

AN: I know it's pretty short but this is about as much as I had the inspiration for. Let me know what you think.
