Sunrise came, Sesshomaru's alarm clock was found in the far corner of the room, melted down with his poison.
"Sesshomaru, wake up, come on, get up," a woman's voice badgered,
"Go away," Sesshomaru growled as he swatted the air and covered his head up with his comforter. Suddenly the blanket was pulled off of him,
"Woman!" Sesshomaru jerked up.
"You're late for work," Kagome explained, Sesshomaru was tired of living like this, hiding his true self among humans.
"Weak humans," Sesshomaru muttered, he slowly got up and got in the shower.
"Humans should be bowing down at our feet," worshipping the ground we walk on," Sesshomaru scrubbing his skin. When he finally stepped out of the shower his skin was red as if he had attempted to scrub his skin off. He came out in a towel and walked to his room, his clothes were already laid out for him on the bed.
~Woman, I do not acquire any assists!~ Sesshomaru huffed.
"Sesshomaru?" Rin running into his room,
"Do we have time for breakfast?" Rin asked softly.
"I'm already late Rin, stay with Inuyasha this morning," Sesshomaru running around, grabbing his laptop and throwing it in his bag, then he stiffened, he smelt something salty, he glanced around at Rin, she stood there in a pretty light purple dress, and crying. Sesshomaru growled, he called his father to tell him he was going to take Rin shopping for furniture for her room.
"Come along Rin," Sesshomaru sighed, she hugged the teddy bear Kagome's daughter had carried for two weeks.
"Where are we going Sesshomaru?" Rin sobbed,
"We need furniture for your room, we'll stop and get some breakfast along the way," Sesshomaru explained coolly. He led her to the car and took off to town.
In Town
Sesshomaru parked the car in a public parking garage and he always masked his true self because he didn't want to scare the little girl he had took into his home, nor did he want to be caught by the humans. He couldn't smell Kagome's scent but he knew the badgering spirit would show up somewhere.
"Come Rin," Sesshomaru getting out and shutting the door behind him, he waited till she stood by his side. He held his hand out for her to take, she hesitated,
"I wont hurt you Rin," Sesshomaru coolly explained, trying to be gentle with the kid. Rin slowly slipped her hand into his, they started to walk the sidewalk and finally they came to some stores.
"Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's momma says you are always cold and that you don't like her or your brother very much," Rin softly spoke. Sesshomaru huffed,
"This is true but he is only my half brother," Sesshomaru corrected Rin as he tried concentrating on looking for a good store to go in, he didn't like shopping, he thought it was a chore for servants to do but most of the time they couldn't get the right things so that was the only reason he was doing the chore.
"Why?" Rin asked, Sesshomaru stopped and looked down at her,
"This is better left to talk about at home," Sesshomaru voice getting a little rougher, he pulled open a door and ushered her in. As they started looking around he smelt the miko, he didn't bother turning around,
"They have a nice piece in the corner," Kagome explained without warning, Sesshomaru felt something hugging his leg, he looked down,
"Rin, its alright, woman you should warn the kid of your presence," Sesshomaru almost growling.
"I'm sorry Rin, would you like me to show you the dresser?" Kagome's spirit bending down to Rin's level.
"Yes," Rin shyly, Kagome giggled,
"You know, I'm shy too, why don't you and Sesshomaru follow me, I'll show you," Kagome explained, she led the way to the dresser. It was rather small, pink in color, Rin smiled,
"I like pink," Rin pulling the drawers open, Sesshomaru gave a nasty look as if the color had left a nasty taste in his mouth. Kagome laughed,
"Get used to it Sesshomaru, kids like bright colors, well most kids anyway, I also found a dresser you might like better for her," Kagome leading the way again, she went to the middle of the store, Sesshomaru was having a bit of trouble with squeezing through the dressers. When he finally reached the spot he stared at the dresser in front of him, it was a little taller than the pink one and made of a dark cherry oak with engravings of him on it in his true form, a large demon dog. Slowly he ran his hand and fingers over the markings, Kagome could tell he was pleased with the piece.
"Oh, its pretty, its even got doggies on it," Rin excitedly, Sesshomaru glanced at Rin, she liked his true form, to her it was a big cuddly dog to be played with.
"I see you have found something, this piece may be out of price range for you though," the sales person explained. Sesshomaru gave the man a large wad of hundred dollar bills.
"That should cover it and the transportation to get it to this address," Sesshomaru giving him a business card with the address on the back.
"Of course, we'll have it shipped this afternoon between four and five," the salesperson bowing, Sesshomaru nodded, he was above bowing to humans, that was one thing he would never do unless it was important business cliental. Sesshomaru was back on the sidewalk again, holding Rin's hand.
"Did you see Sesshomaru, it was covered with pretty doggies!" Rin smiling big.
"They are probably myths in this era," Sesshomaru spoke lowly,
"What is?" Rin curiously as she clung to the teddy bear.
"It's best to save the story until bedtime tonight," Sesshomaru stoically,
"Okay," Rin sadly, he glanced out the corner of his eye at her,
~This child does not fear them, she is anxious to know the story.~ Sesshomaru almost raising a brow.
"Rin, why don't you see if you can pick out some bedtime stories," Kagome trying to lift her spirits up and to get her mind off the story about the large dogs.
"Sesshomaru, may Rin go pick out some books now?" Rin asked,
"There are a few more pieces I need to get for your room," Sesshomaru coolly explained,
"Okay, Rin likes helping with shopping," Rin skipping down the sidewalk as she held his hand.
