Sesshomaru's kind of girl

AN: Hello, sorry I haven't updated in quite a while! This story is so much fun to write! Please R&R and enjoy! Thank you!

-Jakenliker-

Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken, and Ah-Un walked calmly at their regular slow and steady pace. They were still trying to find Naraku after he had disappeared yet again. Every now and then Sesshomaru would pick up his scent, but it would fade away as soon as he was about to go after it. He determined that Naraku was playing games with him. He loathed him (loathed is such a funny word!). He was a deep train of thought, not even responding to the immature tongue twisters Rin was forcing Jaken to do. She had heard some of them from Kagome. For the past 4 hours, all Sesshomaru had heard was "Shelly sold sea shells by the seashore". Occasionally when Jaken would mess up Rin would giggle hysterically. Then, her stomach growled very loudly and deeply.

"Lord Sesshomaru, I'm hungry. Can I get something to eat?" She said trying not to be a bother while (she didn't know he was thinking this) he planned 198 ways to kill Naraku and betting with himself when they would stop the tongue twisters.

"Stop you stupid girl! We fed you just 1 hour ago, how can you be hungry again!" Jaken replied quickly before Sesshomaru could even say anything in his annoying, squeamish voice.

"Go ahead Rin." Sesshomaru replied calmly, going to sit down by a tree. Jaken got an anime sweat drop going down the back of his head.

Jaken's POV

Ever since that annoying human girl Rin joined us, I haven't been taken seriously at all and we are constantly traveling so slowly. Was I even taken seriously before? That doesn't matter now! We used to travel over half the lands in a single day! Now at most we get an eighth! Hmm, if I could perhaps get Lord Sesshomaru to somehow realize that I should be listened to and not simply pushed around be even those lower than me, I will be! Perfect, now how do I do that……

End POV

Jaken paced back and forth thinking of a plan. He decided that if he lured a ferocious demon to her, then saved her from being devoured, it would all work out perfectly! He thought his plan was full proof.

"Jaken," Sesshomaru said in his loud, deep, commanding (and not to mention sexy) voice.

"Uh, Yes mi'lord!" Jaken stumbled to his master's voice that his wasn't expecting. He was very worried that he had been thinking out loud again and that he knew what he was about to do. He gulped nervously.

"Go to Rin and make sure that she is alright." He said simply and carelessly. Before Jaken dared protest, Sesshomaru gave him a look that basically translated to do-this-or-enjoy-being-my-punching-bag-for-the-rest-of-the-week. Of course, Sesshomaru would never say that directly; he would just do it. Jaken left off quickly just to be safe, but kept a good eye out for any ferocious demons that would by chance be a man-eating one. Once he found none, he went off to Rin. To his (in his case) delightful surprise, an obviously man-eating demon had already found Rin. It looked at her frustratedly. He knew that it was about to eat her, but she was somehow outrunning it. Jaken ran to burn it to ashes, but tripped. Rin looked at the huge ogre in a very scared way. It was about to speak, Jaken assumed to be the very last words he and Rin would ever hear. He winced painfully.

"Shelley sold seashells by the seashore!" He struggled to say quickly. Rin cheered when he did it correctly. Jaken was very confused. The ogre obviously wasn't very smart, as it got up and began to do a happy dance. Jaken got yet another sweat drop.

"This stupid girl can spoil all of my plans so easily." He sighed.

"What plans are you speaking of Jaken?" Sesshomaru looked down upon him. Jaken got very scared trying to think of an excuse. Sesshomaru found it amusing to watch him. Jaken ran away as quickly as he could, straight into a tree. Sesshomaru rolled his eyes as he gave one of his very rare, yet beautiful smiles at his (he had to admit it) toadish friend. Rin was picking some of the many pretty little flowers smiling, until she got a very puzzled look on her face. The ogre left very soon after Sesshomaru had arrived. Sesshomaru noticed it. She came up to him, and he could tell she wasn't sure if she should ask her whatever it was or not, questions. He was hoping that it wasn't the infamous "Where do babies come from?" question. If it was, as he had been preparing for it, he would send her to see Jaken who would probably send her to see him and it would go on continuously. Then she asked it.

"Lord Sesshomaru, have you ever had a crush on any girls?" She was very curious. He was surprised that it wasn't the baby question and didn't know how to deal with this one, but he didn't show it. Should he tell her the truth, with Kagura? Suddenly, a strange feeling came over him and he didn't seem to feel as attracted to Kagura any more.

"I used to have one, but now I don't." He said simply. It was the strangest feeling, but it happened.

"Who was it?"

"You don't need to know that."

"Do you look for anything in a girl now?"

"Perhaps a good personality, moderately powerful, and I believe that that's about it." He couldn't believe that he had just told something like that to Rin. At least it wasn't something that that perverted monk that travels with Inuyasha would say, or he should hope. He had a slight look of disgust on his face even thinking about his brother.

"Does she have to be a demon?"

"I suppose so, it all depends." They both stayed quick for a moment, until something else broke their silence. In a gust of wind, Kagura appeared.

"Yo," she greeted him in her casual manner. She didn't know why she had come. She had no errands from Naraku to do and no information on how to defeat him.

"Hello Kagura." He said simply, not caring too much about her presence once again. It was nice to see her again though. Rin thought to herself "Isn't that the lady who likes Lord Sesshomaru?" She wondered. They all stood there silently looking at one another again, whether they were hiding behind a tree or sitting on a rock in clear view. The awkwardness slightly bothered her. She was always scared when no one talked. She always thought something was wrong. Luckily, that silence was broken too.

"Get away from me! For the last time I don't want to marry you!" Koga ran in obviously being pursued by Ayame. He had a stick and he was obviously about to use it. She ran in after him right on cue.

"You have no choice! You have to do it for the entire tribe! Why can't you see that loving a mortal is against the sacred code of honor, and so is disobeying the elders?" She pleaded for him to come with her,

"Please, why can't you just find some way to love me?" She said, her eyes beginning to slightly water. She had no idea what she was doing wrong.

"Because no one could love somebody like you!" Koga snapped in a cruel way, and turned around and was taken by surprise. He saw Kagura standing there looking at him. She thought that whatever he was doing to Ayame was very unkind, which it was. Somehow, Koga would not find a way to resist Kagura (yep guess who he fell in love with). Yet Sesshomaru's mind was too busy gaping at a certain other female in the area; Ayame (just to make it clear that it's not Rin, as that would be disgusting).At that very moment, Sesshomaru picked up Naraku's scent fairly close by. If he left then, he would definitely find Naraku and perhaps kill him, but then he would never see the beautiful crimson-haired woman who was running off in tears in the other direction. He had already gotten her addictive (to his nose) scent but he could tell that she was a mountain wolf demon. She was probably giving up and returning to her home. He was in a serious moral dilemma. He had to think quickly, so he did the only thing that he could do, using his knowledge of previous happenings. He took 3 steps in Naraku's direction and the scent immediately disappeared. He smiled to himself and went after Ayame.

Now over to the rising conflicts in Inuyasha's group

The large green centipede demon towered over them and roared loudly. Kagome and Sango were in perfect fighter stances. Inuyasha had his sword out, and Miroku his staff, but neither of them seemed like they were going to put any effort into defeating that thing.

"I've always wondered about why these centipedes can roar." Miroku said, saying something that truly is a strange thing to us all (or at least to me).

"Yeah good point," Inuyasha nodded just about to turn his back when the centipede was about to give a hard blow to Kagome with its tail.

"Kagome look out!" Inuyasha called as he immediately ran and picked her up in the usual bridal style. However, then the tail was heading towards Sango who was perfectly prepared and about to slice it off with her hiraikos (I hope that's how it's spelt, if not please tell me!) but before she could do that, Inuyasha had apparently dropped Kagome and then picked Sango up bridal style. This was making no sense to anyone. He and she were flying in the air when suddenly, the centipede breathed fire. It missed them and they got on the ground safely. Kirara in her true form (the big cat) jumped up next to Sango but Inuyasha's shirt of the cloak of the fire rat was tossed into them before she could jump onto Kirara.

"Um, thanks Inuyasha but I think-" Inuyasha shoved it on her and got her on his back. She was now even more confused then she was before. Inuyasha let go of her legs making her almost fall off so she grabbed on tighter and drew out the fully transformed tetsuaiga.

"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha yelled and it destroyed the centipede instantly. He landed gracefully on the ground and let Sango off. She got off and walked over to Kagome giving strange glances to Inuyasha ever now and then. Kagome was not very happy with it.

"Is it just me or did Inuyasha save me the way that he usually saves you and Kikyo?" That made Kagome even more furious. That was when Sango knew she should be quiet.

Later that night after they had had a lovely fish roast from a nearby river, Sango went down to the river to think about what had happened that day.

"I hope Kagome doesn't hate me for what he did." Sango muttered worriedly. She was about to head back when she noticed that :Inuyasha was now sitting right behind her. She jumped back slightly surprised, but tried to not let it show. Before she could do anything else, Inuyasha drew her close to him and hugged her. Not in the friendly way, but in the romantic way (and no, I do not believe in these pairings, it is simply a lesson to never try doing spells that you don't know how to do).

"I was so scared that you were going to die today." He said in that way he says to Kagome when she was attacked. Sango decided to be polite and give an awkward hug back. Yet did they know, that a once again heartbroken Kagome was watching the whole scene……

AN: Oh my, please don't kill me!
