Sesshy's Awkward Moments
Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha peoples. (Though sometimes I wish I owned Sesshomaru...)
Summary of chapter: Rin wants to figure out some things about her Lord Sesshomaru... This is based a tiny bit off of the first story/chapter. Just a tiny bit. And if you've seen Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a part in this story kind of reflects off of Dobby.
Chapter/Story 2. Rin's Curiosity
Sesshomaru was leaning with his back against a tree and both his legs bent into an Indian-style position. He was looking at the grass, the only emotion visible on his face was pure boredom. Rin was watching him, and she decided that he must be doing it for a reason.
She was just walking around, admiring all the beauty around her while picking wildflowers. Rin suddenly saw a big, beautiful Japanese bellflower. She gasped in awe and quickly plucked it up with a smile on her face. "Lord Sesshomaru!" she said while running towards him, "I got you a flower."
Sesshomaru gazed at it a moment, then took it in between his index finger and thumb. He looked at Rin and gave her a small smile, twirling the flower around in his clawed fingers. "Rin, what is this for?"
"Rin doesn't know, Rin just thought you might like it. You also seemed sad after those girls left back to their time."
It was like Rin had poked Sesshomaru in a very sensitive place. He had just began to forget about the girl that he had started to like, and Rin had to remind him, 'But' he reminded himself, 'she doesn't know any better, it's not like I tell her everything that goes on in my life.'
Rin looked hard into her lord's eyes and saw a glint of sadness. "Oh, Lord Sesshomaru, Rin is sorry... Did Rin upset you?"
Sesshomaru tried to smile, but Rin thought it looked more like a grimace. "No, I was just thinking."
"'Bout what?"
Sesshomaru answered without knowing what he was saying. "Sora."
"Yeah, Rin misses Miss Sora too, but she told Rin she would be back to visit."
At this remark, Sesshomaru perked up a bit. "She did?"
"Uh-huh."
"When?"
"Before she jumped into the well. Her and Miss Kiri said that they would be back." Rin said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Sesshomaru shuddered at the thought of seeing Kiri the Psychotic Fangirl again. "Lord Sesshomaru," Rin said, "Rin does not understand why you do not like Miss Kiri."
Sesshomaru pondered on how to explain how he felt to Rin. He was never that good at expressing his emotions. "It's not that I don't like her... She's just... Strange."
Rin smiled, remembering the Fluff Petting incident, then giggled lightly. What's so funny, Rin?' Sesshomaru asked.
"Rin has never heard you purr before, until Miss Kiri petted your fur. Rin thinks she's funny."
He remembered that day almost a week ago, then asked. "When did Sora say she would be back?"
"She said something about 'ten days'. What's 'ten'?"
Then Sesshomaru recalled that Rin is uneducated. "Ten is a number, Rin. It is how many fingers you have." Sesshomaru said, not being able to think of any other way to explain it.
He took Rin's small hands in his and showed them to her. She looked fascinated as he counted all of her fingers, one by one. "Does Rin have ten toes too?"
"Yes, see for yourself." Sesshomaru replied.
Rin knelt down beside Sesshomaru and counted all of her toes as he had counted her fingers, getting every number correct. 'She learns almost as fast as demons do,' Sesshomaru thought.
Suddenly Rin was curious of other things too, and not just about education. "Why do you hate humans?"
"Sesshomaru was taken aback by her sudden curiosity about his hatred. "Rin, I-"
"Why did you purr when Miss Kiri petted your fur?"
"She hit a tickle sp-" Sesshomaru began, but was interrupted once more.
"If you don't like humans, why do you like Sora and Rin?" Rin asked.
Jaken heard the commotion and walked over to them. "Stupid human! Why are you bothering Lord Sesshomaru with your weak human curiosity?!"
Sesshomaru looked at him like he was ready to kill him and enjoy every minute of it. "Jaken, what did I say to you a week ago?"
He realized that he had insulted humans without his master's permission. His bottom lip quivered and he started hitting himself with his staff repeatedly, yelling as loud as possible, " Bad Jaken! Bad, bad Jaken! Very bad Jaken!"
Finally he decided that he'd punished himself enough to satisfy his master and tottered away, still muttering "Bad Jaken..." every once in a while until he passed out.
Rin and Sesshomaru just had those anime-style sweat drops while watching his theatrics. "Okay, Rin, now that that's over, you may asked your questions, but one at a time, and I will do my best to answer them as I see fit. And repeat the ones you asked before Jaken started acting like a moron."
"Moron?"
"Never mind."
"Oh," Rin said, "okay, why do you hate humans?"
"No offense to you, Rin, but I believe that humans are weak and have no purpose in life."
Rin looked sort of offended and Sesshomaru said that he didn't mean ALL humans, just humans that aren't her or Sora. She looked happier and continued her questioning. "Why did you purr when Miss Kiri petted your fur?"
"She hit a tickle spot, and it felt really good."
"What kind of demon are you?"
"Dog," Sesshomaru replied.
"Do you have flea-demons?"
"No," he said with a hint of pride on his face, "I take the time to bathe and rid myself of such pests, but Inuyasha doesn't. He has a flea-demon called Myoga."
Rin laughed, then she thought of other questions that she'd always wanted to ask. "Why are you so quiet all the time?"
Sesshomaru opened his mouth to answer, but closed it again because he couldn't find the right words. He sighed. "Rin, to be completely honest... I haven't really thought about it."
"So Lord Sesshomaru doesn't know?"
"Nope."
Rin looked confused for a moment. She thought her lord knew everything about anything! "So, why do you not love your brother?"
"He is a pitiful half-demon. My father died protecting him and Izayoi, and it is Inuyasha's fault that he's dead!" Sesshomaru said rather loudly.
Rin's eyes widened in slight fear at his outburst. His expression softened slightly when he looked down at her big, watery-brown eyes. "What's your next question, Rin?"
"Why do you like Miss Sora?"
Again, Sesshomaru answered without thinking about what he was saying. It was like he zoned out, or something. "I think she's beautiful and smart, and she's kind to all those around her, except Inuyasha. Sora has the perfect personality in my opinion, but her friend is downright crazy."
He realized what he was saying only after he said it. 'I did NOT just tell a mere child about my romantic relationships!? CRAP!' he scolded himself.
Rin giggled madly and found her breath a moment later, Then she thought of a question that had nothing to do with her lord, but she was curious about it none the less. "What is 'mating'?"
Sesshomaru had stood up and was walking away, telling Rin to follow him, but his eyes got wide at this question. "Rin, where did you hear about mating?"
"Master Inuyasha said something about it after he saw you and Miss Sora in bed together with no clothes on." Rin said, "By the way, Rin would like to know why Lord Sesshomaru was in bed with Miss Sora with no clothes on. Why did you do that?"
Sesshomaru tripped and fell when he heard that. He pushed himself into a sitting position once more and stuttered, "I...We were... Really, I..."
Rin was patiently waiting for her master to answer, but his eyes were still freakishly wide and his mouth was hanging slightly open. He snapped out of it enough to remember Kiri's excuse for her tickling him. "I was trying to make her smile..."
"Oh," Rin said, "That's good."
"And, trust me, she smiled all right. I'm just surprised that she was quiet through the whole process." Sesshomaru said.
"Why would she not be quiet while smiling?" Rin inquired.
Sesshomaru realized what he had just said to a 7-year-old girl! "Never mind, Rin, that is enough questions for today."
He let out a sigh of relief when she was finally quiet, but it was short-lived as she asked, "Just one more?"
"Fine."
"How are babies made?"
Sesshomaru was tired of these sort of questions so he said, "Go ask Jaken, and tell him I command that he tell you."
She skipped off to ask Jaken and Sesshomaru watched. He was a safe distance away, but being a dog-demon he heard every word.
As soon as Rin finished asking her question, Jaken started bawling uncontrollably and passed out, but Sesshomaru eventually made him tell.
Rin was wide-eyed. "Ew..."
This one wasn't that funny except towards the end, but my friend thought that it was cute. Next chapter/story will be funnier. We'll just call my friend FluffDaddy'sGirl because will will be sharing my account. The next chapter/story will be short and sweet, but funny. It is called "Sesshomaru's Thanksgiving."
