Beneath the dappled shade of a maple tree, one small nervous hand crept across the mossy ground. In a few more inches she would reach her destination. She could imagine the white luxurious fur between her fingers. It looked so soft and comforting. She wondered what it would be like to wrap that appendage around her body and drown its fluffiness. Her hand almost made contact when a firm voice put an end to her intention.

"Stop." Rin's hand froze. She looked up at Sesshoumaru's reclining form. She was so sure he wouldn't notice. His eyes were closed! His furry appendage taunted her from its sunny patch. For a moment Rin considered disobeying. "You were told not to do that."

Rin relaxed back on her heels. Her shaking hands folded into her lap.

"But Sesshoumaru-sama, you're so pretty. Rin just wanted to pet your mokomoko-sama." Rin clutched her hands together. She knew Sesshoumaru would be cross with her. His eyes slowly opened and sternly looked her over.

"Don't touch this Sesshoumaru," he said.

Rin's lip quivered as she bolted from his side.
