Thanks for the couple of reviews, they were appreciated! :) I shall continue this story…and hopefully receive a few more hits. Thanks for reading this completely random story!
Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Rin each spent the next two days searching for the lost fluff. Sesshomaru was starting to become restless, which started to worry Jaken (because when Sesshomaru was angry, he always took it out on the imp). Rin, however, spent most of her time trying to make the demon feel better; whether that meant giving him flowers, or singing made-up songs about how much she cared for him.
At the present time, Sesshomaru, Jaken, and Rin were each sitting by a small campfire. Usually after a while, Sesshomaru and his little 'group' would return to his castle…but Sesshomaru was so keen on finding his mokomoko that he paid no mind to how long they had been traveling. Rin did not seem to care; in fact she seemed at her utmost happiness. Jaken sat against a tree trunk, holding the 'staff of two heads', watching Rin's actions like a hawk. Sesshomaru was acting his usual neutral self, with that exception that he had a slight scowl on his face, and he would snap at Jaken for any wrong sentence that the imp spoke.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin giggled with a wide smile, returning to their little campfire.
She had gone out to look for some food, seeing as even though she had been fed all three meals, she apparently was in need of a slight nighttime snack. Sesshomaru had been listening to her the entire time she was absent (his hearing was spot-on), and was relieved that she had not been in any danger.
"Look what I've found!" the girl exclaimed.
Sesshomaru opened his eyes, and looked down at what Rin held before him. Slowly, the demon's eyes widened, and he a low growl of anger erupted from his throat. Rin placed the little item in his hand, apparently feeling very important at that moment. Sesshomaru examined the item, and recognized its look and feel in a second.
It was a little piece of his mokomoko, that had apparently either been shedding pieces of fuz…or someone (or something) he started to shred it.
Either way, the demon lord was not pleased.
"Milord, what ails you?" Jaken spoke up.
The demon lord growled and tossed the thing away, obviously angry.
"RIN!" Jaken exclaimed. "Did you give Lord Sesshomaru a bug again? If you did, so help me I'll-"
"Jaken," Sesshomaru spoke in a loud, clear, and cold voice. "Let her be."
"Yes Sesshomaru-sama," Jaken said quietly, though glaring at Rin.
Rin sighed, "It was your tail, was it not?"
Sesshomaru did not answer; instead he ran through the forest trying to find the thief. The thief had obviously been in that area before, so they could not be too far. Jaken squealed in distress, and Rin merely stared as Sesshomaru left them at inhuman speed.
"MILORD!" Jaken exclaimed. "DON'T LEAVE YOUR HUMBLE AND FAITHFUL SERVANT! MILORD! MILOOOORD!"
Jaken ran around in circles, yelling 'milord' repeatedly. Rin stood and started walking in the direction Sesshomaru had left, going to look for him.
"RIN!" Jaken exclaimed. "Where are you going?"
"To find Sesshomaru-sama," Rin said simply, with a smile.
"Oh…good idea," Jaken spoke following Rin.
Meanwhile, Sesshomaru was running throughout the forest, hoping the catch the scent that had emitted off of the piece of fluff Rin had given him. Sadly, he could not find one…which angered him greatly. Sesshomaru was nearly about to resort to sniffing the ground, when he realized that would lower him to his half-brother's rank. And as everyone knows, the second thing Sesshomaru fears most is for him to be like his brother. Heaven knows what would happen if he did become like Inuyasha…the world would be nothing but sacred jewels and ramen.
"Sesshomaru?"
Sesshomaru came to his senses when he heard a familiar voice behind him. Turning, he found that the girl was none other than Kagome.
Sesshomaru groaned, "Leave human."
Kagome frowned, "What are you doing? You aren't here to hurt Inuyasha are you?"
"Hang on…" Sesshomaru reached under his kimono, and pulled out a piece of parchment. "Let's see…"
Kagome was deeply confused at what the demon lord was doing; he was obviously troubled by something. He was acting very strangely, not to mention actually speaking to her with more than three syllables (he hated Kagome, because she was human). Plus, there was something different about him…though she couldn't quite figure out what it was. It was like, he was missing something…
"Hmph," Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed, and he read out loud quietly. "Play with Rin…try Chocolate Cake…hit Jaken…learn how to paint…blow raspberry at human child…and find mokomoko… Sorry, I don't believe fighting with my dear brother is on the list for this week. Sorry to disappoint."
Kagome rolled her eyes, before she gasped, "Wait…your mokomoko is gone!"
"I am not blind," Sesshomaru said simply.
Kagome was about to speak when a husky voice was heard behind her, "Oi! Kagome! Where'd you run off to?"
Inuyasha came up, only to see his 'girlfriend' and his brother standing there. His eyes narrowed, and he walked in front of Kagome protectively.
"Inuyasha, it's okay," Kagome said. "He's not going to hurt you…today."
Sesshomaru sighed, "Well if that is all, I best be on my way-"
"Wait!" Inuyasha frowned at him. "Where'd your fluffy thing get to? Did you lose it? Did you get rid of it?"
Inuyasha leant forward, "Did it run away?"
Sessomaru growled, "Someone apparently has taken it from my possession, and I am out to search for it. Now, if you'll excuse me…I need to go searching once more."
"Well," Kagome said. "If we see it, I'll get Inuyasha (or Myoga if he's around) to get you."
Sesshomaru nodded, and bowed politely, "Thank you."
Even if Kagome WAS human, she was still a woman…and Sesshomaru would never allow himself to become as low as to not show a woman respect. At least, not a kind woman…
"Actually…" Inuyasha spoke mockingly. "If I find it…I think I'll just keep it as a nice, comfy pillow-"
"Inuyasha, sit boy!" Kagome yelled at Inuyasha, resulted in a Inuyasha-shaped crater on the once flat earth.
"Sorry," Kagome apologized to Sesshomaru. "If I find it, I'll get someone to tell you!"
Inuyasha stood up abruptly, "Ya know…I'm not that stupid as to lose something like that…I'd kill the guy! Plus, I'm much smarter than that!"
"Oh really, little brother?" Sesshomaru said coldly. "It seems to me you have lost something dearly already."
"What?" Inuyasha asked confused, before noticing that his brother held not two, but three swords.
Inuyasha growled, "Give me back Tetsuiga! How can you even hold it?"
"Sleeve…" Sesshomaru pointed out that he had his sleeve around the hilt of the sword, so technically his skin was not touching it.
Inuyasha glared as his brother tossed the sword back to him, saying, "I have no need of it today."
"Well," Kagome said simply. "If we find it, we'll let you know. Oh, and say hi to Rin for me!"
Sesshomaru did not answer, but instead ran back towards Rin and Jaken; only to find them both gone (obviously looking for him). Sesshomaru sighed, seeing as he would have to find more than his fluff that night.
Meanwhile, Rin was giggling at Jaken in the night. Jaken was sitting in a pit full of mud, obviously not to happy.
"Master Jaken..." Rin giggled. "I told you not to walk that far!"
"Oh hush up Rin!" Jaken exclaimed. "Now hurry up and get me out!"
Suddenly, Jaken was picked up and placed at the edge of the mud pit...much to his surprise.
"Wow Rin, have you been working out-OH LORD SESSHOMARU!" Jaken looked up to see Sesshomaru standing over him.
Jaken smiled widely, happy that his master returned.
"Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin cried happily, walking up next to the demon. "Have you found the thief yet?"
"No," he said simply, with a frown.
"But I will."
