"Rin's Punishable Act"

Rin backed into her room, her face askew with fright, and shut the door. Backing into her closet, she shut that door too and sat against the back wall. She closed her eyes tight, hoping he couldn't, but knowing that Sesshomaru would find her. 'Why did I have to go in his room?' the thought repeated itself over and over again in her head.

Flashback

On her way to the gardens, Rin noticed that Sesshomaru's bedroom was open. This struck her as strange, seeing how Sesshomaru always kept it shut (and sometimes locked) whether he was in it or not. Since Sesshomaru was gone away on business for a few days, the door should have been locked. Her first thought was that he had come home, and just forgot to close his door behind him. But this idea quickly fled her mind as she remembered that he always stopped by her room first thing to check on her, whenever he'd return from a journey. Curiosity getting the better of her, Rin knocked lightly on the door, and hearing no answer poked her head around it. Being the first time, she'd ever seen the inside of his room, she gasped at how marvelous it was. It was even bigger than hers (which is really saying something) and as full of many unique and interesting objects.

Wanting to get a closer look, Rin cautiously stepped inside, after double checking to make sure no one was around. Standing in front of a dresser, she looked at a collection of wolf figurines. The crystal blue eyes and white fur were so skillfully crafted, that they looked realistic. Not being able to resist, Rin grabbed two of the figurines that were in fighting stances and decided to make them become friends. Though she was fifteen now, she was still the happy playful little girl she'd always been, in some ways. Holding the two wolves carefully, as to not harm them in any way, she lay down on her stomach on Sesshomaru's large soft bed, and presumed to play with them. Not really paying attention to the time or what she was really doing, she felt a tad bit of annoyance when she heard Jaken sternly call her name, interrupting her fun little game.

"Lord Sesshomaru is going to have your head for this! You incompetent girl!" he roared, standing in the doorway.

Rin gasped as she came back to reality. She hastily scrambled off the bed, but in doing so, accidentally dropped one of the figurines. Jaken's eyes went wide with rage and fright and Rin's filled with tears as it laid in two pieces on the floor. Picking up the broken figurine, Rin placed both it and the one still intact back on the dresser. She then rushed out of the room in a fit of fear and tears.
