---

"Please?"

"No."

The demon lord did not understand why his ward wanted to learn to fight. He provided her with food, clothing, warmth, protection...even life itself. She wanted for nothing.

"But Rin wants to be like Sesshoumaru-sama!"

He studied her from over his shoulder. When he finally tore his gaze away from her imploring brown eyes, he felt flattered despite himself. She had not lied.

"...Perhaps."

Grinning widely, Rin managed to maintain her silence and composure as she happily followed her lord. She knew she had won, but it would not do to push her luck by rubbing it in.
