The three had sat outside until the sky opened up and it started to rain. InuYasha and Rin were out father in the field picking flowers, while Sesshomaru was under the tree. When the rain started to come down, InuYasha grabbed Rin and ran to the castle with Sesshomaru. It rained for the rest of the afternoon and well into the night. When they woke up the next day, the weather had not changed. It was still raining and both InuYasha and Rin got bored.
InuYasha was staring out a window watching the rain fell as Rin played with his hair. He didn't mind it, she was entertained and keeping him company.
"What's wrong master InuYasha?" Rin asked as she brushed his hair.
InuYasha looked at her from the corner of his eye, "Stop calling me Master InuYasha."
"But Lord Sesshomaru wants me too."
"Yah well, when he's not here you don't have to. Just call me InuYasha ok?"
"Ok. Can I braid your hair?"
"Sure." InuYasha sighed and went back to looking at the rainfall. He felt Rin braid and then take it out and re-braid it a few times.
"How is it that you came to meet Sesshomaru?" he asked, he always wanted to know why he had a little girl with him.
"Lord Sesshomaru saved me," she said simply. "I helped him and then he help Rin."
When she didn't say anything after, he just left it at that. Soon after Sesshomaru walked into where they were.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin said happily as she ran up to him and hugged his leg. InuYasha turned and gave a nod to his brother, which Sesshomaru returned.
"What have you two been up to?" he asked looking at InuYasha's braided hair.
"Master InuYasha was allowing Rin to play with his hair!" Rin said running back over to InuYasha to show off the braid.
"Very nice Rin." Sesshomaru congratulated her as InuYasha just rolled his eyes. Sesshomaru walked a few feet and sat across from his brother and closed his eyes. Just as InuYasha was about to think that he went to sleep he spoke.
"I will be leaving for a few days. I should be back in three days at the most. Rin you will stay here with Jaken. And you InuYasha, will also be staying here."
"What! Why? I don't need to stay-" InuYasha stated before Sesshomaru cut him off.
"You will stay here because I do not know what is causing you the pain that causes your body to erupt into huge spasms." He explained, still with his eyes closed.
"So, it'll happen here. Why would it make any difference if I was here or out there?" he asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Because here you'll be safer if you were to pass out. If you were to pass out while a demon has crossed my path and wants to fight, I would not be able to protect you and kill the demon. Its simple, and you will stay here with Rin and Jaken." Sesshomaru explained, knowing that InuYasha would argue.
"I'm not staying here!" InuYasha argued.
"You mean Master InuYasha doesn't want to stay here with Rin?" Rin said sadly as she looked up at InuYasha with the best puppy eyes she could muster. Sesshomaru grinned, knowing after he saw those eyes he would stay. Like clock work, when InuYasha turned to Rin and saw her eyes, he groaned and gave up.
"No…no I'll stay here with Rin." He said though his teeth.
"Its settled then." Sesshomaru started as he stood up, "You three will stay here, and when I come back InuYasha, I will teach you ways to control your demon side." With that he walked out and left the castle grounds.
"Is he always like that?" InuYasha asked Rin.
Rin looked at InuYasha thoughtfully, "Hmm. No not really. Sometimes but not all the time, he usually just goes and comes back." Rin then watched as InuYasha paced back and forth muttering something.
"Master InuYasha?" Rin asked a while after.
"I told you not to call me that." InuYasha pointed out.
"Sorry. InuYasha?" she tried again.
"Yeah?"
"Lets go for a walk!" Rin exclaimed as she got up, grabbed InuYasha's hand and dragged him out of the room.
"Rin!" InuYasha said startled as she pulled him down the hall, she ran pretty fast for a human. She dragged him all the way to a door, and opened it.
"Look InuYasha! The rain stopped!" she cried with excitement and dragged InuYasha out side, where she threw her hands up and spun around, all the while giggling.
InuYasha couldn't help but chuckle as Rin played. She ran off to the flowers and started picking some. InuYasha walked over and stood a few feet away from her and just watched her look through all the flowers.
They were out there for the rest of the afternoon; Rin had a huge bouquet of flowers by the time they were going to head in.
"Come on Rin! Its way past lunch and I'm starving!" InuYasha called halfway across the field. Rin's head popped up and she came scurrying back to him, with more flowers in her arms.
"Gee Rin, one of these days you're going to pick the whole garden bare of flowers." He chuckled and he heard her laugh.
As Rin ran back to InuYasha, a pair of burnt red eyes following her every movement from the near by trees. Hunger for human flesh was clearly seen in the eyes as the body shifted in its crouched position. But when it moved a branch snapped under its weight, giving its self away to the young half demon.
InuYasha's head snapped fully up as his ears picked up a twig snapping over where Rin was. He lifted his nose to the air and took a long sniff. His ears moves like little satellites trying to locate where that sound had come from. But the sound of Rin running was all her could hear.
"Rin stop moving!" he called out, and she froze to the spot. His eyes scanned for any sign of danger.
The demon in the trees saw that the girl stopped and used this as its chance to feed. With a roar, it came crashing out of the trees and headed straight for the little girl. Hearing the roar, Rin turned around and saw a snake demon headed straight for her. She screamed, dropped her flowers and ran to InuYasha who was already running to her.
"InuYasha!" Rin cried as the demon chased after her.
InuYasha urged his legs to move faster, he reached for his sword and took it out waiting until Rin was behind him to use it. Seeing the demon gaining fast ground, InuYasha jumped into the air and attacked.
"Iron Reaver!" he called as he brought his claws down across the snakes face. The snake stopped and snarled at InuYasha.
"You insolent little fool." It hissed. Getting revenge it struck InuYasha in the chest throwing him back.
"InuYasha!" Rin cried seeing crimson seep through his haori.
InuYasha looked at the demon though his bangs, and growled barring his fangs. He took out his rusty sword and transformed it into a gleaming powerful fang.
He had to protect Rin, if he didn't Sesshomaru would likely kill him.
He raised his legendary sword above his head and brought it down with a cry of, "Wind Scar!"
With a huge blast of white light the demon was destroyed in a matter of seconds.
"Heh." With a satisfied grin on his face, InuYasha placed his sword back into its scabbard and turned to Rin. "No problem." He said as he walked to her.
"Thank you InuYasha!" Rin said happily as she took his hand and they headed back to the castle.

InuYasha collapsed onto his bed that night tired. After fighting that snake demon they had gone inside and he had gone to take care of his wounds. They weren't that bad, but Rin had insisted that they had gotten wrapped. So after that, they had something to eat and Rin took it upon herself to make Jaken's life a living hell for the rest of the day. When he was feeling better, InuYasha joined in and together, both he and Rin had Jaken hanging upside down from the ceiling in less than twenty minutes.
"I never knew that toad could run so fast." InuYasha muttered to himself as he layed in bed looking at the ceiling. He heard his door slide open and saw a tall being standing in the doorway when he turned his head to take a look.
"You gave me a new decoration?" Sesshomaru said, meaning the upside down toad named Jaken.
"It was Rin's idea." InuYasha said with a grin.
"So I heard." He mused, "I also heard that a demon attacked you two earlier today. Is that true?"
InuYasha went back to facing the ceiling, "Yeah, I took care of it though. Nothing that I couldn't handle."
"I see." Sesshomaru turned to leave, "For saving Rin… thank you." he said.
InuYasha sat up and looked at the demon in the doorway. He was surprised that he thanked him for saving her, but he smiled nonetheless.
"No problem." He answered as he went back down and as Sesshomaru walked out and slid the door shut.
"No problem…"
