Okay, so next chapter! I think we're narrowing it down to the suspect who stole Sesshy's fluff! :) Btw, for those who don't know...Pho is a Vietnamese food. It's basically animal guts in some soup, which I admit is very resourceful (nasty but resourceful) if you live in a place where every bit of 'meat' is practically the most important and rare thing ever. If you have to save every bit of meat, then go ahead and make pho...see what I care. I've actually tried it (as did my parents), and I'm not a very picky person when it comes to food (the only foods I don't like off the top of my head are: Liver, Squash, Cilantro, Breakfast Sausage, Cabbage, and Ketchup). I thought Pho was about one of the nastiest things I've ever eaten (right next to Estonian 'Meat Jell-O'). No offense of course if you like it...you can eat what you want. I happen to love Brussels Sprouts...xD Rofl!

Anyway, peace, love, and chicken grease! :D

Please review!

Sesshomaru had quickly tossed the men out of his way, nearly injuring them. Kagome did not approve of this, and managed to get Rin to convince the demon lord not to hurt the men further. He had already given nearly all of them quite a fright, and who would not with his intimidating looks? He could be quite frightening when needed... He was especially frightening when he lose his fluff, and was on the verge of killing everyone (with the exception of Rin...he would never hurt her) around him. If someone (besides Rin) could stand in a room with him glaring at that person for longer than a minute, that person would probably be given a trophy for bravery and insanity.

"Sesshomaru-sama," Kagome said. "Do you always turn to violence?"

Sesshomaru did not answer, but instead glared at her out of the corner of his eye. Kagome's eyes widened, and she swallowed...though attempting to remain strong. He turned away once more, so she would not pee on herself from fear, and continued to walk down the path they decided to follow. The trail of fluff had ended, but both Inuyasha and Sesshomaru admitted they smelled the suspect's scent faintly in the air.

Inuyasha glared at his brother for glaring at his wife, but this remained ignored by the demon lord. Of course he noticed the insolent, juvenile, and just plain idiotic looks his dear brother made behind his back. He especially liked the one where Inuyasha made his eyes cross, stuck out his tongue, wiggled his fingers over his ears, and did something disturbingly close to a belly-dance. However, Sesshomaru attempted to ignore it and hope that Inuyasha would stop...which he eventually did. At least...after he shook his butt out at Sesshomaru rudely...

"Inuyasha!"

Okay, so maybe Kagome stopped him...but he ceased his mockery either way.

"Sesshomaru-sama," Rin said skipping up to her master with a smile. "Are you hungry? Because I sure am..."

"I've told you before, Rin," Sesshomaru sighed nonchalantly. "I do not require human food."

"I know, but have you ever had it?" Rin asked smiling.

"Yes," Sesshomaru answered.

"And...?" Rin prodded his arm with a grin.

"It was terrible."

Rin frowned, and crossed her arms in confusion, "Well...what did you eat?"

"Um...something the Chinese refer to as Phở..." Sesshomaru said with a slight and nearly unnoticeable shudder.

Rin burst into a fit of giggles, "Of all the foods to try, you go with Phở?"

Sesshomaru frowned, "I tried it. I hated it. End of story."

"But Phở is disgusting!" Rin exclaimed. "Even I think that a bunch of cow guts in some soup is yucky..."

"Is that what was in it?" Sesshomaru demanded, going wide eyed.

Rin smiled, "Maybe you should try something normal...like rice!"

Sesshomaru eyed her, "Is that the stuff that looks remarkably like little fat worms?"

"Well now that you put it that way..." Rin made a disgusted face.

Sesshomaru 'huffed', and turned his gaze away from her once more. They walked a little further, before Rin surprisingly -and yet not- took off running. She yelled that she would be 'very quick' behind her, and fled from the group. Jaken yelled at the girl angrily, saying that she should not just take off running like she had when she was attacked by that demon a few episodes-(HACK! ARGH! Alright alright! I got it! LET GO OF MY THROAT! *gargling noise)- I mean weeks before.

After a while Jaken finally stopped, and Rin returned safe and sound...holding something that Sesshomaru did not find amazing to the eye at that moment. However, when he felt a tug on his sleeve he looked down to see Rin holding out something to him. His eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not glare at her...more like in confusion.

"I do not require food," Sesshomaru said simply.

"Just try it, please?" Rin begged. "You'll most likely like it!"

"Most likely..." Sesshomaru repeated sarcastically.

"Pleeeeease?" Rin begged.

Sesshomaru groaned, before grabbed the object and shoved it in his mouth in frustration. He chewed for a moment, prepared for a disgusting taste to fill his mouth. However when he tasting something rather pleasant, he slowed his walking slightly in surprise. It was sweet...but not too sweet. It was a rather small object, and full of liquid...but he enjoyed it for once.

"What is this nourishment?" Sesshomaru asked bewildered.

"A grape," Rin said plopping one into her mouth with a smile. "Good eh?"

Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and looked away without another word, hoping not to hurt his pride further. However when Rin was not looking he quickly (extremely quickly) snatched a couple more out of her hands and ate them. He did not need food...but perhaps it would be a nice treat now and then. For one Rin was not being a crazy little girl...she was actually right when she said he'd like it.

Rin giggled quietly, but Sesshomaru heard it. He glanced over at her from the corner of his eyes, which she noticed and looked up at him with another giggle. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow, and Rin giggled further. As mature as she could be...he still had to realize that she was still a young girl.

"Continue that unnecessary giggling, and I'll have to give you a reason to do so," Sesshomaru threatened, slightly playfully.

Rin giggled again, before gasping and covering her mouth. She looked up at him, giggling more...earning a quick smirk from her master. Sesshomaru picked her up and slung her over his shoulder gently, earning more giggles. Of course Inuyasha, Kagome, and Jaken were confused at these actions. Kagome soon realized what he was doing, and laughing quietly at the cute sight. Sesshomaru grabbed Rin's foot, with her still over his shoulder, and began to tickle it...earning kicks from her other foot.

Of course it did not hurt him any...

Rin laughed out loudly, begging for him to stop in between breaths. After a moment he did, and set her down where she staggered a bit. Rin crossed her arms and stuck her tongue out at her master, earning another risen eyebrow. Sesshomaru faked grabbing her, causing Rin to screech in laughter and Run behind Jaken. She then noticed that Jaken would probably not be much of an obstacle, and so she ran behind Inuyasha instead... Sesshomaru turned back around and continued to walk, smiling on the inside.

"Yo, Nancy boy..."

That nickname was beginning to get on Sesshomaru's nerves.

"I think I caught the scent again...and it's from that way," Inuyasha said.

Sesshomaru turned to where Inuyasha was pointing, and frowned...noticing that a scent indeed came from that direction. Sesshomaru grabbed Rin by her stomach, holding her under his arm, and took off in that direction. His hanyo brother followed close behind, though not nearly as fast as Sesshomaru. In comparison to one another when it came to speed, Inuyasha was like the strongest human ever to walk the earth...and Sesshomaru was Superman.

Sesshomaru noticed a long trail of fluff, and continued to follow it. By this time, his mokomoko was BOUND to be in shreds! With that thought in his mind, Sesshomaru growled...his eyes tinting slightly with red...and ran faster; leaving Inuyasha far behind. Rin held her breath as he ran, knowing that Sesshomaru ran far too fast for her to get oxygen. Thank Inu no Taisho she did not get motion-sickness...

The trail ended, and Sesshomaru stopped in frustration. However, then he gasped looking around at his surroundings. He'd been at this place before...but when? Rin looked up at him, still held under his arm, and raised her eyebrows.

"Well?" she asked.

Sesshomaru frowned, "The trail has ended, and the scent is faint once more."

Inuyasha caught up with Sesshomaru after a few minutes, "You bastard! You left me to eat your dust! Why I outta-"

"Sit boy!" Kagome cried, hoping to pause her husband in punching Sesshomaru out of anger.

Kagome walked up to Sesshomaru, "Well?"

Sesshomaru frowned further, "I don't detect hardly any scent at all...but it's stronger than it was earlier."

Kagome nodded, "Well...why don't we stop for a bit?"

Everyone agreed with her suggestion, except for Inuyasha...who was still eating dirt from being 'sat'.
