"You did WHAT?!" Two pairs of jaws hit the ground.

"Shippo and I kinda drenched him in honey…hehe"

Rin was currently talking to Jaken who had been made one of Lord Sesshomaru's advisors, and Tsukimaru the Lord's rather distant cousin who also served as his retainer.

"Man, no wonder the whole palace is tense…Hope Shippo said is prayers" That was Tsukimaru, he had no doubt in his mind that Rin would be able to get off without any issues, the Lord would likely forgive her after another day or two. Jaken on the other hand was worried for both, he'd never seen his Lord get so made before…

"Please hide me?" Tsukimaru looked at Rin decked out in his cousin's mokomoko.

"First, tell me how you got that." Now normally nobody can order Rin around, she was the Lady of the West even if she didn't behave it. However Tsukimaru thought in dire circumstances measures have to be taken. In his mind it was better to protect one than let both unfortunate souls have a date with his cousin's whip. As Rin filled Tsukimaru in on the events that transpired in the past hour, a certain Kitsune was running for his life.

In woods behind the palace.

Sesshomaru tread silently through the forest floor, his black boots not making a sound. He made sure to stay in the shadows cloaking his presence so the Kitsune's eyes had no way of detecting him. The two were in his forest, the area practically permeated his aura. Making sure to hide the sharp twang of poison from his scent, Sesshomaru silently tailed his prey. A deadly hunter intent on eliminating the foul creature that had corrupted his precious Rin. Through a fit of laughter Rin had told him that she and Shippo had worked together to prank him. Rin had made sure to stress it was her idea and Shippo only helped out. That if punishment must be dealt it should be to her alone. Sesshomaru however refused to believe that. Rin was free spirited and known to act…out of the box…but even she would not humiliate them with such an infantile prank. Sesshomaru was certain if she was involved there must have been some outside force, to goad her into such action. After all what type of Lady would submit to being DOUSED IN HONEY of all substances? To Sesshomaru's logical mind it made no sense no matter how mischievous Rin could be. The only "outsider" currently at the palace was Shippo. Thus he concluded Shippo must have induced it, and Rin being a curious playful creature went along with it. Being the caring thing she is Rin wanted to shoulder all the blame, because she knew he would never harm her.

'A person of such foul nature as Shippo is not fit to associate with this one's mate' He thought to himself 'he must be disciplined no matter the cost. This one will not have anyone corrupting my Rin' (Author pops in: Ah~ the angel Rin…Lord Sesshomaru you hold her in such high regard) Deliberately breathing in through his nose, Sesshomaru caught a whiff of something sweaty and musky. Immediately he took of flying through the forest in the direction of that smell. Arriving at a small thicket, Sesshomaru saw something brown wearing blue robes crouched and shivering within. He lighted on the branch of a nearby tree. Letting his whip fly out, he wrapped it around a large stone and swung at the thicket making the thin branches crack or break. His prey jumped and he released the stone from his whip sending it flying to land right in front of Shippo. The Kitsune immediately transformed into his true form and ran for his life. Sesshomaru smirked. He was in no hurry, scaring the fox proved much more entertaining anyway, he leapt into the thicket finding Shippo's bag of tricks. He held it up in two fingers and far away from himself, as if it were infected his hand glowed a sick green and the bag plus all it's contents melted.

Meanwhile in the palace.

"And so that's the story" Finished Rin, as Tsukimaru rubbed his temples feeling a headache coming. How his stoic cousin fell for this girl, he will never understand, but he did not question the intelligence of either…especially when Rin had somehow gotten her hands on the one thing NO ONE, not even uncle Toga, Aunt Kiyomi and himself could touch. The Mokomoko.

"Ano, Tsuki-chan, can you tell Rin about this boa?" If this were anime the vein twitch would be big and red all over Tsukimaru's head. The girl had the nerve to call the mokomoko a "boa"

"Don't you dare defile the mokomoko you insolent human!" (Author is certain if Sesshomaru had heard the tone of his cousin as he said those words, Tsukimaru would be the one dating the Poison Whip…)

Rin's eyes however lit up, she finally had a name for the Boa it wasn't "The Boa" anymore it was "Mokomoko" such a pretty name. Rin looked at the fluffy mass wrapped around her and nuzzled the section on her shoulder mimicking her Lord-mate as best she can. "Don't do that unless you have his permission you pathetic girl! It's rude to touch an Inu-youkai's mokomoko without his/her explicit permission."

That certainly got her attention…was it something special? Why was permission needed? Maybe it was something only…say a mate could touch?

Back in the forest.

Sesshomaru stopped in his tracks as he sensed someone touching his mokomoko. Who would dare do that he wondered. He had left it with Rin…surely she won't touch without permission. She had always been good about asking for permission regarding it… Any others were not allowed in the private quarters, except two Tsukimaru and Hahaue…neither would touch it. The sensation was similar to how he felt with Rin…maybe she had fallen asleep with it again? Knowing she had a tendency to do that Sesshomaru went back to his task. He had since cornered Shippo into a Spider-Youkai's web. The Kitsune was struggling as said Spider tried and failed to wrap him up as lunch. Watching the spider curse "Divine Intervention" was equally amusing, but Sesshomaru wanted to be the one to deliver "judgement" on the Kitsune. Finding a stone he threw it at Shippo, purposefully missing his target. He did this a few times, until the Kitsune was free 'Correction,free from that despicable spider but not this Sesshomaru' Blending back into the shadows, he pursued his "prey" using his whip he caused branches and rocks to fall on them to kill the Spider and maim the Kitsune.

Shippo for his part was exhausted, he knew very well that the branches slashing at his paws, and the rocks hitting his sides were no coincidence. He hasn't seen the wielder yet, but he has caught glimpses of the infamous whip wrapped around an object before that same object hit him. Sesshomaru was toying with him he had no doubt but why he cannot fathom.

"Would you really like to know Kitsune" A deep baritone said, calm and cold with a dangerous edge. Shippo skidded to a stop. In front of him was the Lord of the West. Weaponless, his pale, refined complexion made him look deceptively weak, very unlike Inuyasha's rugged looks. Shippo shuddered, after all everyone knew the Lord of the West was anything BUT weak.

Sesshomaru smirked as he scented fear in the kitsune, the chase had been amusing while it lasted but he was greatly looking forward to disciplining the mistune who dared to pollute his innocent Rin with thoughts of mischief and causing her to forego all decorum. "MiLord! Please, Rin asked me to…uUmmph!"His sentence didn't finish as the whip wrapped around Shippo's waisted and he was sent flying to a tree. "Please she asked me to help….AArgh!" Again he went flying this time Sesshomaru sent him up higher. "Get you to…uh oh…"

A/N: Huh I got carried away so I'll be splitting this into two sections. Comments anyone? I wrote this on a fly so any type of feedback is welcome. Sesshomaru was hard to write for me because I can't see him being funny without sarcasm, and because of Rin's involvement that didn't fit to well, canon only showed him as sarcastic to enemies after all. Anyways to those of ya in Uni or HS good luck in new Semester. Hopefully this story has helped relieve some "start of the term stress" by making you laugh.

Thanks to: sorrellkaren, SessRinFan, Vidanime Cami and Guests for reviewing. Also a special thanks to Miraia, Mia Montes, inu-love-kag, and 16chickenugget16 for favouriting Mokomoko. I hope I have managed to make you all laugh at some point. As well as any one else I didn't mention, I honestly didn't expect this little story to get any attention. :0
