Disclaimer: What? Oh, are you actually reading the disclaimer? Well, I do not own Inu Yasha, Rumiko Takahashi does.

Thank you everyone who reviewed! You've got such great energy!

Again, just for the record, the scene you are about to witness is not intended to be taken as anything more than it is, no "implied" m/m or anything of that nature.

Author's notes: (added MUCH later) Hi! Sorry that took so long. Please don't be mad, but I finished this chapter ages ago, but was originally going to post 11 and 12 together, but changed my mind when it became obvious 12 wasn't coming as quickly (this was a while ago), but in the confusion of it all I thought I posted it but I really didn't so here it is. Hope you like it.

Ch. 11- Playing Rough

"L-lord Sesshoumaru?" Squeaked a very wide-eyed imp demon.

"Master Jaken, why are you staring like- Oh." The little girl had just caught up with him when she looked in the doorway and saw exactly what it was Jaken was staring at.

The memory of what she was seeing would remain with her for the rest of her days.

Pinned to the floor on his back was the guest of honor, Inu Yasha, who was growling through a mouth full of fur. And pinning him to the floor was none other than the Lord of the Western Lands himself, Sesshoumaru, with a cute, hanyou, puppy dog-ear between his teeth.

"Lord Sesshoumaru? Why are you biting Master Inu Yasha's ear?"

Why AM I biting this half-breed's ear?

Rin giggled.

"Lord Sesshoumaru and Master Inu Yasha look like two puppies playing together!"

"Rin!" Croaked a horrified Jaken. "Baka! You must not say such things! Lord Sesshoumaru does not 'play'!"

But I was, wasn't I? This has gone on long enough. I must rid myself of this pup.

Playing? Fool, like 'This Sesshoumaru' would ever 'play' with anyone, much less a half-breed like me.

"Rin."

"Yes, Milord?"

"Breakfast will not wait for you. If you wish to eat, you must dress yourself and be at the table when it is served."

"Okay!" And with that, Rin bounced off.

"Jaken!"

"Yes, milord?" Croaked Jaken, with a look that said quite clearly he knew where this was going, and was not at all thrilled.

"Go assist Rin."

"Yes, milord." And Jaken scurried off, muttering about having to watch a human brat.

"Whatever happened to dressing herself?" Inu Yasha asked with a smirk.

"She will."

"But you sent Jaken?"

"Pups need independence, not neglect."

"You sound like a father!" Sesshoumaru turned a murderous glare at 'Little Brother'; a glare that spoke of power and fury, of centuries of suffering, of the patience, and spite needed to prolong suffering until death. And Inu Yasha could barely suppress the urge to back away.

Must've struck a nerve.

"Don't do that, it makes you look so old."

"Do not presume to tell this Sesshoumaru what to do."

"How about getting off of me?"

"Not until you apologize for biting my fur."

"You bit my ear!"

"I out rank you."

"You pushed me off of the bed and pinned me to the floor!"

"I still out rank you."

Inu Yasha growled… and then Sesshoumaru did as well.

Wow.

Sesshoumaru smirked.

"Come, Little brother," He said, as he rose off of the littler inu, "Breakfast will be served soon."

…End Chapter…

Ok, I am only ending that there because that's where it ends in my head. What comes next, to me, feels like a separate chapter. So, I'm ending it here, and continuing straight on to ch. 12.
