Chapter Six

"Can Rin cook breakfast, Sesshomaru-sama?"

"Never again."

"Lunch?"

"Forget it."

"Supper?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because, Rin, you made me eat the charred mass yesterday."

"Why?"

"I don't know why."

"Why?"

"Why don't I know? Because you have thoughts that I would not have otherwise dreamed in a million years."

"Why?"

"Because you're an eight year old human girl."

"Why?"

"Because your parents were humans."

"Why?"

"I don't know why, Rin. Stop asking me why."

"Why?"

"Rin…I'm warning you…"

"Why?"

Sesshomaru silently fumed. He could feel the vein throbbing in his temple. He was not one to let a human girl get the better of him.

"I said, why?"

If I ignore her, she will go away.

What am I thinking? Of course she won't go away!

"Why?"

It was taking all of Sesshomaru's self-control to remain seated and outwardly calm. Somewhat outwardly calm, because the vein in his left temple was pounding and his eyes were starting to look bloodshot.

"Sesshomaru-sama, you look crazy."

Thank you, Rin.

"Your eyes are all red!"

I know. Nice of you to point it out.

"And your head looks like it's going to explode!"

SHUT UP!

"Rin heard you say a new word today!"

…Oh shit…

"It was shit! What does that mean?"

"You must have heard me wrong!" Sesshomaru croaked. "I said sit!"

"Well, why would you say sit if you just bashed your hand really hard against a tree, Sesshomaru-sama!"

Damn it.

Rin was looking up at him, studying his face.

"I meant pit! Because an apple pit fell on my head when I banged the tree!" he said in a strangled tone.

"Sesshomaru-sama, apples don't have pits…"

Don't they?

"I meant a peach pit!"

"It wasn't a peach tree, Sesshomaru-sama…"

"So?"

"Pits don't just fall out of trees," Rin said matter-of-factly. "Anyway, what does shit mean?"

"I just made it up!" Sesshomaru was beginning to sweat a little. She should be a psychoanalyst when she grew up, honestly…

Rin looked unconvinced. "It's a bad word, isn't it?"

"No! Of course not! Why would I say a bad word!"

"Well, Rin heard you say f-"

"Um, never mind that!"

Rin gave him a searching look. Damn, she knew.

"You just never say it, Rin, okay?"

"Okaaay…" Rin said, a huge grin on her face.

"I mean it!"

"I knoooow…" she said, laughing, and ran off.

Pessimistically, but then, who could be optimistic with her around, he thought, Why do I even try?

(A/N: Hehe, like it? I won't be able to update until around Sunday the thirteenth, maybe not even then, going on vacation, sorry!)
