--A Song For Her Lord--
The little girl sang quietly, simultaneously plucking the delicate flowers to add to her bouquet. After she had collected what seemed to be a decent sized posy, she looked up, only to see that Lord Sesshoumaru was continuing on his way, obviously unaware of or unconcerned with Rin's pressing need to be among the wildflowers. After dusting off her old kimono, she ran after him, her light song growing and weaving around the traditional folk melody.
However, as always, it was only a few moments until Jaken turned and snapped at her, his sallow features looking pinched and tired. "Girl! Cease your noise." With a furtive look at the stoic tai-youkai, he hissed at her, "You're disturbing Lord Sesshoumaru!"
Suddenly, the small demon tripped, flying head over heels as his staff landed several feet away. A look of astonishment was on his face as Sesshoumaru looked down at him, his eyes burning with an icy fire. "Let her sing." As Jaken picked himself up, quaking slightly, the little girl's song wound through the treetops.
