Quiet…As usual He watched the rain fall upon the earth, causing the leaves upon the trees to twitch. The rich smell of soaked earth hitting his nose full impact and, in his mind, giving a more comforting embrace. Her words could have been a thousand arrows trying to pierce his hide and he wouldn't have flinched no matter where they hit. The demon wouldn't have it. The child was not his, first off, and it was his brother's. Dead, or alive, he was not going to watch his brother's child. Hell would have to freeze over and turn into an ice ring before he decided to do such a thing. Rin fixed her kimono up, glancing towards Sesshoumaru but seeing his eyes watched the outside world. She'd dare something…She hoped, mentally, Sesshoumaru-sama wouldn't catch on. Most likely he would but she'd give it a shot. "Kagome, how old is she?" Perhaps a bit of a conversation would stir the icy demon. She knew Kagome wanted him to speak but she wasn't going to make him with the way she was approaching. Rin, though not what she'd call close to Sesshoumaru, knew the demon well enough to know his quick attitude and stubborn temper.
"She's three in human years I am not sure if there are hanyou years that imply." The child looked to her mother barking playfully. "I wish the human children wouldn't have taught her to bark or growl she's better then that I know it..." She petted the child's head gently before pulling some fruit out of her pocket for the child soon holding out her hand to Rin. "I'm sure you must be hungry will probably be here for awhile."
Auburn hues glanced towards the fruit before looking at the woman. "Could… I really?" she questioned, hesitant upon asking. Rin fended for herself. She gathered her own food most of the time. Asking Sesshoumaru or Jaken to do such a thing was ridiculous. Besides, she didn't want to seem anymore annoying to them or trouble her lord much more than she already bothered him. She approached Kagome, sitting before her and then looking to the kid. "Three years old? Wow." Aun-Une groaned, lowering both heads and preparing to rest…As usual, the beast was close to its rider, Sesshoumaru, who at this point, held his head bowed slightly and eyes closed. Tensaiga and Toukijin somehow, not bothering him even as he left them on his yellow sash.
She nodded smiling at her kindly. "Of coarse it would be rude not to ask you looked hungry." She placed the sweet plums in her hands letting her eat as she helped her child eat the plum trying to make sure she didn't make a mess. "Rin your starting to grow out of your clothing since I last saw you."
She ate the offering, content at the sweetness. Chewing she nodded before swallowing the contents in her mouth. "Hai." She smiled but said no more. She was indeed growing and she knew she'd need to get different clothes soon. They were growing smaller on her every year…Rin was no child anymore and both demons she traveled with knew that. Her body was changing but had yet to show it's prepared for a family. Till that time, they could deal with her…or so Rin suspected in her mind. She wondered, but knew well the changes the body goes through from the human village she had been in before accompanying Sesshoumaru on his travels. She shook the thought of quite literally, giving a small quiver as the temperature began to drop from the wind and rain entering their shelter. Jaken caught it, rising and moving to exit from under their shelter. "I'll fetch some wood." He scampered off into the rain and vanished from Rin's sight. Even as the wood was wet now, Jaken could make fire with his staff, which he left here with them. A few minutes passed between Kagome and Rin, talking to one another before the imp returned, making a fire quickly and continuing to throw in wet wood, which released gas once touched by the hot flames from the staff. Rin bowed, thanking the woman for the food and moving to the fire, getting warm and soon, laying down to fall asleep… As did Jaken who was now drying and unbothered by the fact he was still a bit wet…their lord...Well…He was still up.
The child had fallen asleep in her lap her head rested against her mother's chest Kagome's fingers going through the small infants silver hair. Her eyes trailed to the girl in front of her making sure before she asked that the girl was asleep. "Lord Sesshoumaru I want to take Rin to the village and buy her a new outfits."
The male remained still, the only indication he was even alive was the light lift and fall of his chest and shoulders. He really didn't need to answer that but… "If she wishes." It was Rin choice and he already knew what the girl was going to say… No…Why; because Rin didn't like human villages. Come to think of it, Rin was shy with humans, period. He supposed that was his fault for allowing her to join his side…She was growing up with demons.
She nodded lightly. "I will ask tomorrow then if she does not wish to come then I will bring her kimono's." She closed her eyes halfway the baby curled up in her lap resting peacefully.
Lids parted, allowing his amber hues to stare down at the ground for a time. "Do as you wish." He was silent again, listening to the rain outside… The more he listened the more Sesshomaru's mind grew distant from the world. He was thinking...Thinking...Thinking about what? There was nothing to think about when it came to Kagome and her child. Nothing at all. She laid down her back facing him the child on the other side of her resting against her mother's chest still the wall blocking her from rolling away during the night the child's mother's eyes closed slowly as she hummed before finally drifting off to sleep.
The storm filtered into the night. The air becoming warm again as the rain began to fall less and less. The world was already growing dark and the simplest light left was from the fire which was slowly going out…Funny how it took it hours. A sound, not too far off, caused the demon to open his eyes. He searched for but a second before hearing it again…Towards Kagome…Her child most likely, and as he thought so, he saw her sit up and rub tired eyes. His own amber hues giving off a dull glow from the flames that danced upon his profile lightly. Her eyes turned to him, seeing he was still awake and he stared back with little care before looking away. What he wanted was for the child to go back to sleep but even that wouldn't be a blessing for him. A bit of noise again and he was forced to look back…seeing the child had slipped from her mother's arms and against the wall. The hanyou rose to her feet…now any fool could tell what was next and Sesshoumaru frowned seeing her approach him. Her small mouth opened, allowing sight to her tiny canines, letting out a yawn. She drew closer, all the while, their eyes locked upon one another. A light sound caught his attention and the small child tripped forth, her foot getting caught beneath a piece of wood from the fire Jaken had made. Something unusual occurred then, and Sesshoumaru blinked, strangely closer to her then he had been before. Perhaps out of reflex. Or simple instinct, the male had reached forth, placing his hand at her stomach and catching her weight before she hit the ground
Her head lifted, looking up at him once more before she found her footing once again but not approaching anymore. Instead, her small fingers grasped hi thumb, lifting his hand some before lowering it again…as though inspecting it. Sesshoumaru blinked, tilting his head to a side, watching her silently…A different look within his eyes this time as she admired the size and smoothness of his skin, ignoring how he was still leaned forward and away from the wall. After a minute or so, the youkai did in fact pull his hand free from her grasp, once more, leaning back and watching her as she looked back up into his eyes…. What he had seen…What he had seen within those eyes…That face, was Inuyasha. 'Idiot brother...' His mental voice sounded within his mind. 'You fool.'
