Notes: Still got nothing to say, which is sort of surprising.

Sesshomaru woke up in the morning to find Rin snuggled up beside him, still deep in sleep. He almost smiled, but Kaori walked in, still in her pajamas, and leaned against the doorway. "Well, isn't this a memorable moment..." she said with a smirk, then walked over to him, sat on the bed, and began stroking Rin's hair. "She's cute, isn't she?"

Sesshomaru didn't sit up or reply; Rin was holding on to his sleeping kimono. "She's had a hard life, believe it or not. And yet she's always so happy and free-spirited." he said solemnly.

"Well," Kaori looked him in the eyes and said, "You can't be that adorable and be depressed at the same time, it's not natural."

Rin giggled, then opened her eyes, knowing she was caught. "Sorry," she said, "but you woke me up when you started petting me, then I decided to listen."

Kaori laughed, and Sesshomaru's felt a strange feeling in his chest as she did. Seeing her happy made him want to smile, but he resisted, trying to stay true to his promise that he wouldn't fall in love with her again. "Hey, Rin," Kaori said, "Do you want to go try on your new clothes?"

Rin's face lit up. "You bet!"

She ran off to Suzume to get her clothes, leaving Kaori with Sesshomaru. "What about you?"

He looked at her exasperatedly. "I guess so..."

She smirked evilly, as he turned to follow Rin.

Sesshomaru walked out of the bathroom wearing the jeans and muscle shirt that Suzume and Rin bought him the other night, showing his arms, and a lot of chest. Kaori was stading outside the door, waiting to get dressed herself. "Whoa..." she said, stumbling against the wall and falling to the ground.

Sesshomaru lifted an eyebrow and helped her up. She, correcting herself, said, "... I mean, wow, you look great."

"Right," he said, "Thanks..."

Kaori suddenly got an idea and told Sesshomaru to turn around.

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

She grabbed his shoulders and spun him around so that his back was to her and began braiding his hair. It took a while, because it was so long, but Kaori managed. When she was done, Rin walked out of the other bathroom with Suzume in a little outfit that consited of blue jeans and a kimono-style shirt with long, flowing sleeves and a cherry blossom pattern.

Suzume said, "Isn't she so CUTE in this?"

Kaori laughed and Sesshomaru got that weird feeling again. "She's cute in anything," she said.

Rin looked up at him and smiled. "You look nice, Sesshomaru-sama. Guess who helped choose those clothes,"

"Who?" he asked, humoring the child.

"I did, silly!"

The two sisters laughed and even Sesshomaru let out a smile and a chuckle.

"So, what do you do on weekends, Sesshomaru?" Suzume asked.

Sesshomaru looked at her strangely. "I am in pursuit of Naraku every day."

Kaori smiled. "You need to loosen up a little. Have some fun, like we used to. Let's go to the amusement park!" she eyed Sesshomaru. "The only problem is those markings..."

"We could say that they're tatoos." Suzume suggested.

"Okay, but what about the claws?"

"I'm NOT cutting my claws." Sesshomaru said. That ended the convesation.
