Sesshy's got problems. He and Jaken are badly outnumbered, his mother expects some explanation of what's going on, and Rin's confused. What ever will he do?
What To Say
Sesshomaru leaned against a wall, contemplating what to tell his mother, and what to tell Rin. Rin wasn't his daughter; what's more, she was human. He didn't know if his mother would accept her. And the other way around, would Rin be afraid of his mother? She was terrified of wolves, and though he and his mother looked very much alike, she was a wolf demon.
Well, he was too, sort of. He frowned at that thought. He didn't really want Rin to be afraid of him. Then again, the girl seemed to fear humans and demons almost equally. She must have been treated awfully by other humans before she'd come with him. He sighed and glanced out the doorway next to him.
His mother was out in the garden, just as she usually was on nice days. Jaken was off somewhere or other, determined not to anger Sesshomaru with his obvious displeasure at Rhianwen's all-female entourage. And Rin was playing with Sevi, apparently unfazed by the fact the pup was a wolf.
There had to be some balance. Some way to keep Rin, so that she wasn't afraid, and still have his mother accept her. Of course, figuring out what that balance was, was not going to be easy. But he would, he was determined of that. And when Sesshomaru was determined, it was bound to work out eventually.

Another short chapter. But it's a chapter! Yay for updates.
No, Sesshy is not related to Koga. Thank heaven. And as for them smelling Rin, young animals often have faint scents, especially those that are trying to avoid predators. So say Rin's scent is faint (whether it works or not...) and then say Sesshomaru's and Jaken's scents are all over her. Her own faint scent would be covered, no? At least, that's how I worked it out.
Sorry for the wait, and thanks for the reviews all!
