Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha... Did you really think I did?

AN- I was in a somewhat fluffy mood when I wrote this and realized my Sess/Rin story didn't really have any Sess. So here's this chapter and this one really is the end. Um... I tried to keep everybody In Character as best I could. I'm not sure if I did though, because I was in a fluffy mood and we know Sess is not like that. But I think I did an okay job. If they are OOC let me know.

"-and then Shippo did this cool trick and there was like pretty blue fire that was shaped like a star!"

Lord Sesshomaru and Rin had returned to where he had left Jaken and Ah-Un about five hours ago and Rin was still going on about what happened while she was with Inuyasha's group.

Sesshomaru was only half listening as he sat against a tree watching the fire. Jaken, however, was getting irritated with her constant chatter, "Enough, Rin! Lord Sesshomaru does not want to listen to you babbling on and neither do I! So why don't you just-"

"Jaken."

With that Jaken was silenced.

Sesshomaru then turned his attention to the talkative girl, "Rin, it is late. Go to sleep."

Rin nodded "Hai." She went over to Ah-Un and patted it's noses "Goodnight, Ah-Un" she then laid down next to the dragon closing her eyes, going into a light sleep.

"Finally the brat shut-up," muttered Jaken

Sesshomaru glared.

Jaken quickly tried to cover, "W-what I meant was-"

"Be silent, Jaken."

"Y-yes, my lord." Jaken stuttered. He eventually went to sleep holding the Staff of Two Heads.

Lord Sesshomaru stayed awake, listening for any threats. There were some wolves howling in the distance, but otherwise it was relatively quite. But as the howling got a little louder he heard whimpering.

He turned his head to see Rin, who was awake.

"Rin, why are you still up?"

She jumped, startled, "Rin is scared of wolves."

'So that's it. She's afraid of howling because she was killed by wolves.'

A particularly loud bark came and Rin shot up, running over and sitting very close to Sesshomaru.

"Lord Sesshomaru, they sound so close. They won't attack, will they?"

Sesshomaru looked down at her frightened form which was slowly moving closer when she thought he wasn't looking. "They wouldn't dare come near me. You are safe."

She looked at him with big, trusting eyes, "May Rin sleep here tonight?"

He thought about it for a minute before giving the slightest nod of his head. Thinking she would stay where she was and just go to sleep beside him, it surprised him when she got under his arm and cuddled to his side. He went stiff for a moment before relaxing and letting her stay. Rin's fears forgotten, she fell asleep.

Strange, he thought, that she feels safer with youkai . Normal humans would be running for their lives. But not her. Shaking his head, he closed his eyes. Not sleeping though, he was very alert to what was going on around him.

Jaken woke up early that morning. The sun was shining brightly in the little clearing. He yawned and looked around, Ah-Un was grazing, Lord Sesshomaru looked like he was sleeping but Jaken knew better, and Rin was missing. This was bad! If Rin was gone Jaken would surly be blamed!

He looked around again in a panic, then he spotted her. He didn't see her before because she was mostly covered by Lord Sesshomaru's huge sleeve, still under his arm, sleeping by his lord's side. This was very wrong! Rin had no right to invade Lord Sesshomaru's personal space. Forgetting his place, Jaken screeched, "Lord Sesshomaru! That human is touching you!"

Sesshomaru opened his golden eyes looking at Jaken, "I am aware of that, Jaken. Do you have a problem?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Y-yes! That is-" Jaken was cut off when Sesshomaru threw a rock at his head, causing a huge and painful bump to appear.

"Jaken, go get Ah-Un."

"Yes, Mi-lord!" Jaken bowed and left in a hurry, eager to do as he was told lest he get another rock thrown at him.

Once he was gone, Sesshomaru gently shook Rin awake and said "We are leaving, Rin."

Rin nodded sleepily and got on Ah-Un -who Jaken had just gotten- and went back to sleep knowing she would be safe.
