Rambling Life – Chapter 2: Sesshy-sama

--

Sesshomaru woke up early in the morning, and went for a long walk. It was better to get out of the house right now. But when he got back, he once again saw the little kids, but this time they were in the garden poking the little flowers, or in Sesshomaru's mind... ruining.

"What are you doing!" said a frustrated Sesshomaru.

Inuyasha turned around and said in a sweet voice, "Goo mornin, Niisan!"

Sesshomaru stared at Inuyasha, and ignored his greeting saying, "Don't ruin the garden."

Inuyasha was confused but said, "Ok! We won't."

Sesshomaru sat in the garden watching the kids play a new game of hide and seek, except for Shippo who was sitting on the grass pointing at little things expecting Sesshomaru to look at them, but Sesshomaru got mad when he saw Sango hiding in the flowers crushing it.

"What are you doing! I thought I told you not to ruin the garden!" shouted Sesshomaru.

Sango cowered as she said, "I'm s-sorry Sesshomaru-sama... I dint know..."

Sesshomaru sighed and said, "Why don't you guys play your game inside?"

"But da servants are cleaning!" said Kagome.

"Well, don't play here..."

"Where are we supposed to play?" asked Rin.

Sesshomaru sighed and thought for a while. "Follow me."

"Ok Niisan!"

The children cheerily chatted as they followed Sesshomaru to a small river, in which Rin happily jumped in getting her clothes wet. Kagome peered in, and then jumped in. Shippo sat in the grass with Sesshomaru again pointing at wild things on the floor, while Sesshomaru rested under a tree. Miroku and Sango peered in the water for a long time and poked at it before Sango put her foot in, and slowly advanced in the water, seeing that her other two friends were perfectly okay. Seeing this, Miroku did the same thing before he accidentally slipped in the water, but got up to seem perfectly okay. However, Inuyasha did not advance to the water, and did not go anywhere near it. The kids were splashing each other, and trying to run away from each other in the water, while Inuyasha ran to Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow as Shippo said gibberish as a greeting towards Inuyasha. But Inuyasha had a sad look on, and just rested his head on Sesshomaru's shins. Sesshomaru wrinkled his forehead in confusion while Shippo poked Inuyasha's ears.

"Inuyasha... What are you doing? Go play in the water."

Inuyasha raised his head and met Sesshomaru's eyes. He pouted and said, "No." He turned his attention back to Sesshomaru's shins.

"Why not?" asked Sesshomaru.

"Cuz..."

"Inuyasha," he growled, "Answer me."

Inuyasha raised his head, and sat more comfortably. The sad eyes were still there, and Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes as his eyes met the pup's. Inuyasha pouted.

"I don't wanna play in water."

"Why not? All of you friends are..."

"I-I...I DON'T LIKE WATER!" shouted Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow at the little boy's outburst.

"Well maybe you should learn to cope with your fears."

"NO NO NO NO NO..." shouted Inuyasha as he ran away afraid that his brother would force him into the water.

Sesshomaru got up and told Rin to watch Shippo, as he walked after Inuyasha.

--
Inuyasha ran towards a ditch near the river, and hid himself in the whole, sniffing to himself, and thinking.

Niisan will make me go in water! NO NO NO! Don't wanna go in water... Niisan will be mad.

--

Sesshomaru peered over the ditch, and rudely stared at the crying pup, and smirked. The nerve of his brother to run off. It was stupid to run, because Sesshomaru was obviously going to find Inuyasha.

Hopeless pup...

He stared at the pup for a long time, until Inuyasha noticed, and cowered in fear, knowing he had done something wrong.

"Inuyasha..." he began.

Inuyasha had begun to cry hysterically, and now Sesshomaru didn't know what to do.

"Inuyasha..." he said again, reaching out for the crying pup. But as soon as he did this, Inuyasha broke into another fit of tears, and had grabbed Sesshomaru's hand. At that, Inuyasha crawled out and began to cry on Sesshomaru's thigh, and grabbing Sesshomaru's knee like a life line. Sesshomaru was shocked from the gesture, and was still recovering when Inuyasha had begun to talk.

"Niisan!"" cried Inuyasha with a fit of hiccups and sobs.

"Don't cry, Inuyasha. It won't get you anywhere," Sesshomaru said softly.

"I-I'm s-sorry, niisan..."

Sesshomaru hesitated, but put his hand on Inuyasha's head, and said, "Why did you run off?"

Inuyasha looked up with red eyes stained with tears. "Niisan want me to go in water, right? I don't wanna..."

Sesshomaru smirked, "So you were afraid that I would make you go inside the water. Inuyasha, I certainly have no intention of doing so."

"Really!" Inuyasha smiled as he looked up at his big brother.

"Why would I make you go in the water? Why are you so scared of the water, anyways?"

"I don't like water... And lotsa peoples wants me too..."

"..."

"And water is scary..."

"No, its not."

"It is..."

Sesshomaru sighed. There was no point in arguing with him.

"Rin isn't afraid of water."

"Rin-san is older... and bigger!"

"Your other friends aren't afraid of water."

"I am."

"Inuyasha..."

"I'M NOT GOING IN WATER!"

"Inuyasha," he growled, "Don't shout!"

"Yes, Niisan."

"Come..." Sesshomaru let go of the pup and turned back in the direction of the kids. He couldn't leave them alone for long.

"Okay Niisan, but I don't hafta go in water, do I?"

Sesshomaru didn't answer and began walking away. Inuyasha, unsure, hobbled after him.

--

They returned to see the kids unharmed and safe. Sesshomaru stood by the bank watching the kids in the water carefully. Inuyasha was clutching Sesshomaru's pants, and had hid behind his legs. Shippo and wobbled over to Sesshomaru, and had pointed to the water. Sesshomaru kneeled down to give him some attention.

"Ie ka?" asked Shippo.

"Water..." explained Sesshomaru.

"Wubba?" said Shippo trying to pronounce the word.

"Wah... terr," said Sesshomaru slowly.

"Water..." said Inuyasha cautiously.

"Wuh tare...?" Shippo said again.

"Wah terr..." said Inuyasha.

"Wuh ter...!" said Shippo, finally.

"Water," said Sesshomaru.

"Water! Water! Water! Water!" said Shippo excitedly.

After that, Shippo stepped into the water thinking it would hold him, but much to his dismay he slipped and fell in, only to be caught by Sesshomaru. Then Shippo looked at it curiously, poking it, and then advancing upon it again. Sesshomaru caught his arm again, and picked Shippo up. Shippo threw a tantrum.

"Ack blac! Fu te ka! Bee te na!" shouted Shippo. He threw a fit, and wriggled in Sesshomaru's arms. Finally, Sesshomaru gave in, and gently placed Shippo in the water, but still holding Shippo's waist so as not to fall. Shippo cried out in delight, and then kicked his legs, making splashes in the water.

Inuyasha watched as Shippo took delight in the water. He loosened his grip on Sesshomaru to watch Shippo. Shippo shouted out more senseless words, and Sesshomaru put Shippo deeper in the water.

"Rin, take Shippo so he can go further in the water. I don't want to hold him all day."

"Yes Sesshomaru-sama!" she said, happily taking Shippo in her arms and wading back to her new friends.

Sesshomaru turned to Inuyasha. "Still afraid of the water?"

"No! I won't go in! No!"

"Relax. You don't have to go in if you don't want to."

Inuyasha thought for a bit, and went back to the tree in solitude.

--

After some time, Inuyasha went back up to Sesshomaru who was sitting on the side of the bank watching the kids.

"Niisan? How do I get not afraid of water?"

Sesshomaru smirked, and picked Inuyasha up. "Like this." He placed Inuyasha in the water, and Inuyasha wriggled in his grasp, but unable to get out. Only Inuyasha's legs were in the water, and Inuyasha was already screaming. Sesshomaru was chuckling to himself, pleased with the new horror he had placed on the pup.

"NIISAN! LET ME GO! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Relax, Inuyasha... Its only a little water. It is completely harmless."

Now Inuyasha was in tears, trying to turn around to get out of the water, and climb onto the land. Sesshomaru outstretched his arms, so Inuyasha couldn't get near the land. Inuyasha wriggled and wriggled, and tried to hit Sesshomaru.

"Inuyasha, stop crying."

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"Inuyasha, do you want me to let go of you?"

Inuyasha nodded his head still screaming, while forgetting that he was still in the water. Sesshomaru let go of Inuyasha, and that's when Inuyasha realized that he was in the water all alone and he was almost sinking. Only Inuyasha's head was above the water as he screamed out, and said, "NIISAN!"

Sesshomaru grabbed Inuyasha's arm and said, "Will you stop screaming now?"

Inuyasha nodded with tears coming out of his eyes. Sesshomaru took him out of the water, and placed him on the grass. Inuyasha grabbed Sesshomaru and hugged him like never before. Sesshomaru smirked at the pup's fear. Inuyasha stayed on Sesshomaru's arms for a while.

"Ready to go back in?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Inuyasha.

Sesshomaru growled, and Inuyasha stopped. Sesshomaru picked Inuyasha up and placed him in the water again. Inuyasha stopped wriggling realizing it was no use, and Sesshomaru would never let him out again. All of a sudden Sesshomaru let go of Inuyasha, but Inuyasha was fast enough to grab Sesshomaru's hand. Sesshomaru sighed and didn't resist when Inuyasha grabbed his hand and held it for dear life. Inuyasha was looking at the water in fear, and turned his attention to the kids. Still holding on to Sesshomaru, he steadily looked around, and this is what happened for the rest of the time.

--

Sesshomaru looked up to see a crescent moon in the blue sky. He could tell it was late, and that it was almost evening. Sesshomaru picked up Inuyasha from the river, and placed him on the land, then turned to the other kids.

"Its getting late. Its time to leave."

"Ok Sesshy-sama!" said Sango cheerfully. Sesshomaru stopped at the nickname, but continued as he really didn't mind. Then the children got out of the water, and raced around saying 'Sesshy-sama' over and over again.

Sesshomaru picked up Shippo with Inuyasha following directly behind holding on to his older brother's pants. The cheery wet kids behind them.

Author's Notes:

ack! I haven't been getting any reviews. Come on guys. I know you're reading... REVIEW! PLEASE!

ugh! I think I have an oc Sesshy now that he's softened up for his brother, but how else is the story supposed to go on? aiya! confusion...

Sorry, I couldn't update. My internet wasn't working properly. The only thing that worked was the google search, and then no other site worked! Ergh...

'Sesshomaru looked up to see a crescent moon in the blue sky.': You know how you can see the moon sometimes but its still light outside. It looks like a small cloud until you actually turn your attention to it. It comes out at like 5. So yeah, that's how Sesshy knew it was late.
