Ch: 9
The Next Day
Sesshomaru woke up abruptly, as the sun climbed into the sky. He looked above him; no reason for waking was found there, so he looked side to side, and then behind him. Still there was no reason. Finally, he looked in front of him, and jumped in surprise.
Sky was right there in his face, staring at him intently.
"You know what?" She said, out of the blue. "I think I'm going to be mad at you today." Then she moved off without another word, hunkered down next to Mara Rose, and the two spent the day cheerfully insulting Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru himself spent the whole time doing nothing, just sat there, with a startled expression on his face, all day.
Rin said nothing. She was becoming used to the strange woman, her strange ways, and her entirely freaky habit of popping off into the bushes and reappearing with trays of hot food, enough for them all. She also said nothing because she was too busy wondering just what the hel-heck a banana was. Whew! For a second there, she almost forgot that little kids aren't supposed to swear.

WritingWoman: (waggles finger seriously, with serious face) Shame on you, Rin. Little girls aren't supposed to swear. (Grin breaks out on face, and author leaps away laughing like a crazy person; which she just may be, the doctor's haven't decided yet; leaving a thoroughly confused you sitting there. Suddenly, the author straightens, cracks neck, and begins to speak normally) Originally, there was a point to this chapter, but I forgot what it was. I'm entitled to forget some things like that, though. When you can remember who the last pharaoh of Egypt was, but you can't remember which toothbrush – out of two – is yours, you are officially allowed to lose your mind, and forget a few things. Let's move on to the next chapter, yeah?
