Well, not very many reviews...but thanks for the one I did get! It's very much appreciated! :D Thanks for reading!

Sesshomaru had managed to get Inuyasha to assist him, as much as it damaged his pride to do so. Inuyasha, of course, would not let the whole thing slide...and attempted to tease Sesshomaru as much as possible. When they reached Rin and Jaken, everything Sesshomaru did NOT wish to happen...happened.

"Jaken look! Sesshomaru-sama has returned!" Rin exclaimed happily.

Jaken frowned, "And you have...Inuyasha?"

Rin squealed, "Inuyasha!"

She ran up and hugged the Hanyo's leg with a smile, earning a chuckled from him. Inuyasha picked her up with a kind smile (which was very rare), "And you are Rin, correct?"

Rin giggled, before turning to Sesshomaru, "Is Inuyasha-sama staying?"

"For a short time," Sesshomaru said simply. "Once my mokomoko is found, he will be leaving us."

Rin smiled, "Inuyasha...can you do that cool trick with your sword again?"

Inuyasha put Rin down, and smirked at her, "Well...it would probably ruin all of the pretty scenery around us...not to mention Kagome would KILL me-"

"WELL!" Sesshomaru interrupted coldly. "To be frank, Inuyasha shall not be performing his 'trick'...or else I shall have to cut his ears off."

Inuyasha glared at Sesshomaru, "I'm not a baby, Sesshomaru...I know what to do, and what not to do. I'm not dumb enough to randomly summon up my wind scar...who KNOWS how many demons would be attracted to it..."

Sesshomaru sighed nonchalantly, "Jaken, fetch us some fish."

Jaken swallowed, because he was not exactly a pro at catching fish. That was Rin's job... However, he had to follow his master's orders...and so he went down to a river to catch some fish. Or at least try to...

Inuyasha sat down on the ground, seeing as it was actually getting pretty late...and they would probably camp there anyway. Rin sat down right next to him, and Sesshomaru found himself sitting on the other side of her protectively. He glared at nothing in particular as he stared forward, hoping to ignore his brother and his little companion's fascination of him.

"Yo, Sesshomaru-"

"I am attempting to ignore you, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru said nonchalantly.

"But Sesshomaru-"

"You are causing me to fail at it, Inuyasha."

"But-"

"I'm still failing, Inuyasha..."

Inuyasha glared at his brother, "Seriously dude, look."

Sesshomaru turned to glare at his brother, but when he did he couldn't stop his eyes from widening. He felt a strange feeling at the pit of his stomach...something that he had not felt in years.

There, sitting before him, was his brother... Not only did he have an extremely annoyed expression on his face, but was also garnished with what seemed to be dozens of flowers in all colors. His hair was braided, and covered in flowers...which Rin was still placing in his hair. Inuyasha slowly turned to look at Sesshomaru out of the corner of his eye, and glared...but directly at him.

"Get. Her. Off," Inuyasha growled.

Rin was busy humming, and not paying attention to what Inuyasha had said. Instead she continued to place flowers in his hair, and on his clothing.

The feeling in Sesshomaru was so overwhelming, that he could not contain it any longer. So, instead of keeping it in as he usually would, he let it out... As he did so, he nearly fell to the ground in a fit of laughter. Seeing his brother in so much emotional agony nearly made him jump for joy, and he almost decided against dying Inuyasha's hair pink (but decided to go ahead with it anyway).

"Yeah you go ahead and laugh you bastard!" Inuyasha yelled at his brother angrily.

Rin sat down in-between them once more, holding a bunch of flowers in her hands. Sesshomaru smirked at Inuyasha's appearance, and was about to come up with some witty comment when...

"Your turn Sesshomaru-sama!" Rin exclaimed happily, skipping over to her master.

"Rin..." Sesshomaru began, but did not have a chance to say it.

Rin began to braid Sesshomaru's hair, except much fancier than Inuyasha's, "Your hair is a lot softer than Inuyasha-sama's...and a lot prettier."

"Ya hear that Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha smirked. "It's a LOT prettier!"

Sesshomaru glared at his brother, but said nothing. He managed to keep himself from blushing, but nearly felt his pride completely crumble when he felt Rin place not only flowers in his hair...but a CROWN of flowers on his head.

Inuyasha burst into a fit of laughter with that, rolling on the ground in glee.

Sesshomaru stood and walked over to the nearby stream, and stared at his reflection. He frowned, and began to blush uncontrollably.

"I think that look fits you Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha laughed.

"You are jealous that I am FAR prettier than you, Inuyasha," Sesshomaru said coldly.

Inuyasha froze, "Nu-uh! I'm WAY prettier!"

"I am."

"I am!"

"No, I am."

"NU-UH!"

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

Sesshomaru smacked his brother in a girly fashion, and Inuyasha did the same. Soon the too proceeded to hit each other, with their faces leaning away from their extended arms...much like a girl cat-fight.

"Erm...excuse me Milord," Jaken spoke up quietly. "But I managed to catch a few fish!"

Sesshomaru blushed, as did Inuyasha, "Oh...yes Jaken...erm...well done..."

Rin giggled, but said nothing.

Jaken prepared the fish, and Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, and Rin all waited patiently for it. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru did not make fun of each other for the rest of the day...mainly because Rin would not let them undo their hair or take off the flowers.

"Say Sesshomaru," Inuyasha said after a moment, noticing something different (besides the obvious) about his brother. "What's that around your neck?"

Sesshomaru sighed, "Rin gave it to me."

Sesshomaru had a beaded necklace, with a few spiked beads on it. He did not seem to care about it, obviously not knowing what it was. Inuyasha grinned before laughing once more, earning a glare.

"What?" Sesshomaru asked, slightly confused.

"Hey, Rin..." Inuyasha smirked. "Where'd you get that necklace from?"

"Lady Kaede!" said happily.

"Do you know what it is?"

"No, why?"

Inuyasha grinned further, "Do you ever get mad at Sesshomaru, Rin?"

"No, why would I?" Rin asked confused.

Inuyasha sighed, "You sure?"

"Well..." Rin thought hard for a moment, for something her master had done that she disliked. "He does leave me behind a lot...and I get lonely."

Sesshomaru admitted to himself he felt bad after she said that, though he would never say so out loud. He frowned at where Inuyasha was going with this, and how Inuyasha knew what the necklace was.

"Alright, I want you to tell Sesshomaru..." Inuyasha paused to eye Sesshomaru with an evil smirk. "To sit."

Suddenly, everything clicked in Sesshomaru's mind. His eyes widened, noticing the exact same necklace on his brother...except in worse shape. Sesshomaru turned to Rin quickly, but did not have a chance to say anything. He jumped up to cover her mouth, but was too late.

"Sit?" Rin said slowly.

Sesshomaru let out a strange noise, in between a shriek and growl. He never screamed...it would ruin his image. So the noise was certainly strange...especially since nobody had ever heard Sesshomaru yell out before. Sesshomaru's face met the ground, causing an extremely large crater in the earth to form.

Inuyasha burst into laughter once more, while Jaken and Rin stared at their fallen lord in confusion. Then Rin immediately caught on, knowing that Kagome would do the same to Inuyasha if she became angry with him. Rin's eyes widened, and she ran to Sesshomaru's side in a second.

"Sesshomaru-sama?" Rin asked wide-eyed. "Are you well?"

Sesshomaru grumbled, unable to get off due to the spell not wearing off. Then he lifted his head to glare at EVERYONE in the area...due to his mere anger towards the dumb necklace.

He turned to Rin, "You should have kept your mouth shut, girl."

Rin's eyes went wide at his sudden rudeness, and felt herself frozen in place. She didn't know any better, so why did he have to be so mean?

Sesshomaru got up and turned to his brother, "I'll claw you in half, little brother."

Inuyasha smirked, "Why? I was just doing Rin a favor."

Sesshomaru was about to speak, when one word caused him to freeze.

"SIT!"

Sesshomaru let out the same noise as before, and fell back towards the ground.

Rin ran up to Sesshomaru in anger, "SIT SIT SIT SIIIIT!"

Meanwhile, Kagome, who was searching for Inuyasha...knowing that he would get into trouble, heard a strange noise. The ground beneath her vibrated as she heard the noise, and would recognize it anywhere.

"Is someone telling Inuyasha to sit?" she asked herself.

No, it was impossible...only she could do that. Right?

She ran up towards the noise, to find a laughing Inuyasha, a surprised Jaken (almost fearful), a face-first-on-the-ground Sesshomaru, and a rather angry Rin. She frowned, and ran towards her husband in confusion. Inuyasha was shocked to see her, and at the same time not.

"What are you doing here?" he demanded.

"You need me, if I'm not here...who knows what problems you'll get yourself into," she said simply. "Now, care to explain?"

"Rin can tell Sesshomaru to sit!" Inuyasha burst into laughter once more.

Sesshomaru looked up at Rin slowly, "S-stop..."

"SIT!"

"R-Rin!"

"SIT!"

"Rin?" Kagome giggled. "What did Sesshomaru do?"

Rin then burst into tears, "He was mean to me!"

Sesshomaru slowly, and for once weakly, sat up. Rin waited to be scolded by him, but instead was met with his arms wrapped around her. It was killing his pride to hug anyone, let along a little human girl, ALONE...so it was butchering his pride to do it in front of everyone. He would never let anyone hear what he was about to say but her, however, and that was that.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, almost so quietly she could not hear.

She hugged him tightly, "I'm sorry Sesshomaru-sama...I'll get rid of the necklace..."

She was about to pull it off, but Kagome stopped her with another giggle, "I'm sure it will be useful in the future."

"Who's side are you on wench?" Sesshomaru demanded, glaring at her.

Kagome grinned, "Whichever side I chose."

Sesshomaru made a mental note to kill her later, like his notebook said to.
