Chapter Three: Preschool Songs from Hell

"I'm a little teapot short and stout...Jaken-sama, this song sounds like you!...here is my handle, here is my spout…Jaken-sama, what's a spout?" Rin asked happily.

"It's an especially evil demon with really sharp claws that hunts down little girls who annoy their elders," Jaken snapped.

"Ohhhh…do teapots have spouts?"

"The pink and frilly ones do, and they jump out and bite your hand…"

Rin didn't look in the least frightened. "Jaken-sama, you're not telling the truth," she accused.

"How do you know?"

Rin chose to ignore the last comment. "I'm a little teapot short and stout, here is my handle, here is my spout, when I get all steamed up, hear me shout-"

"SILENCE!" Jaken screamed. It was bad enough being practically crippled, but having to listen to the human blathering? Unbearable.

"- tip me over and pour me out!" Rin finished joyfully.

Jaken wanted, very badly, to throw something at her. He reached as far as he could over the rock that served as his chair, but his fingers were inches away from being able to grasp a pebble. Then a sweeping motion caught his eye and he thought better of it.

Sesshomaru landed a few meters away. He had seen the pebble Jaken was reaching desperately for, no doubt to throw at Rin, who he had heard obnoxiously singing. Sesshomaru gave Jaken a look of evil, and turned around to gaze at the horizon some more.

"Twinkle, twinkle little star…how I wonder what you are…that's silly. How can you wonder when you just said it was a star?" Rin said, a scandalous look on her face. "Well, I don't wonder…up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky…Sesshomaru-sama, can diamonds fly?"

"I don't know, Rin," he said absently.

"Puff the magic dragon, lived by the sea, and frolicked-"

Ah-Un snarled loudly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Ah-Un, you don't frolic, do you?…okay, I won't sing that…"

"Don't sing ANYTHING!" Jaken yelled. Sesshomaru was snapped out of his fantasyland in the clouds (A/N: hehehe…) to tell Jaken, "Silence." All this singing and yelling was starting to get on his nerves.

"Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow…"

Sesshomaru resisted an urge to lick his lips.

"…and everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to gooooo." Rin hit an especially high note, and dragged it out for an excruciatingly long time. Sesshomaru fell to the ground, clutching his sensitive ears.

"Oh, no! Sesshomaru-sama, Rin is sorry!" she cried, dropping to her knees in front of him.

"It's…okay, Rin…" he said through clenched teeth.

Rin tossed her head happily and continued. "Yankee Doodle went to town, riding on his pony, stuck a feather in his hat and called it macarooooni!"

Sesshomaru felt a vein start to throb in his temple.

"Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream…"

"I hope you row your boat down the stream and it tips over and you die!" Jaken croaked. His ears were on the verge of combustion as well.

"…merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream!" Rin screamed. Gosh, this was fun! Look at Jaken-sama! He didn't like it at all!

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Kagura…'cause she's your dear, Sesshomaru-sama!...happy birthday to yooouuuu!"

Sesshomaru never knew if it was the extremely high note Rin hit on 'you', or the mention of Kagura, or anything else. He felt his sanity smash into small pieces in his head and he screamed,

"NO MORE SINGING!"
