Okay, chapter two! Thanks for the guys that reviewed! Um, I have to say, I don't really like fics where Sesshomaru is OOC, but he kind of ran away from me in this. This is pretty short again, sorry! Also, everything feels kinda rushed (things just kept on coming and I was trying to get it all down before I lost it) so Im sorry if you get confused or there are mistakes or if it sucks. As of now, I'm my own editor. So, you know how that goes. But I'm trying, and I promise the next chapter will be better. More detail, everyone will be more IC, etc. Also, no Kagura yet. But she will come in. Swear. :-) Now, onto the story!


Rin woke to the sounds of birds chirping and Is that Inuyasha-san?

Sitting up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Rin spotted her favorite red-clad half-demon and his gang. She launched to her feet, all grogginess gone from her body. Lord Sesshomaru and the others were standing a ways away. As she neared, Rin picked up on the tail end of the conversation.

"...she's a bitch, Sesshomaru, just like you. Of course, that is to be expected. I hardly think that that would work. Why don't you- Oh, hey, Rin."

Rin giggled internally at Inuyasha. It was from him that she had picked up so many colorful words. Running up to her 'uncle,' Rin hugged his middle. "Who's a bitch?" She asked.

Sesshomaru stiffened. "Rin," he warned.

Inuyasha smirked and ruffled Rin's hair, despite her protests. "Sesshomaru's mom, that's who. He wantsa dump you wit' that crazy witch. Says you're a brat."

Rin pouted cutely. "Sesshomaru-sama's mother is not a bitch-"

"RIN-"

"-she just needs some."

Inuyasha's eyes widened before he was rolling on the ground. Sesshomaru pinched the bridge of his nose and Kagome gasped. "Inuyasha!" She screeched, staring at the hanyou as he gasped for breath between snorts of laughter. "This is no laughing matter! Sesshomaru was right, and this is most likely all your fault!"

Inuyasha stood, still laughing, and wiped tears away that had gathered at the corners of his eyes. "Me and the perve taught her well."

Miroku rubbed the nape of his neck and stretched his lips into a long, tight smile. "What are you talking about, Inuyasha?" He asked, glancing at Sango. That was a mean glare she was sending his way. "I've been so busy raising my own children that I could not have possibly had any time to teach Rin such things."

Inuyasha sputtered. "What! Don't try 'n get out of this, you ass!"

Sesshomaru waved his arm. "Enough," he gritted out, beyond annoyed now. Rin glanced up curiously. "Inuyasha, you and your companions are out of the question. My mother, apparently, is as well. The old miko is dead. Is there anyone else that you can think of that can educate Rin?"

Inuyasha huffed and shook his head, as did the rest of his friends. "Ain't gotta clue."

This day, Sesshomaru thought, could not get any worse.


Let it never be said that Sesshomaru was favored by the Gods.

Rin had been happily kicking Jaken all day, when she thought that Sesshomaru couldn't see or that he wasn't paying attention. So far, he hadn't stepped in- because Jaken deserved it, really- but it was starting to try his patience.

Not to mention that damn wolf demon.

"Hey, Inuyasha's brother!"

Sesshomaru didn't intend to stop, Get away from the idiots, Don't murder in front of Rin, but his ward had attached herself to his leg at the sight of the pack of wolves. Really, what was he supposed to do? Walk around with a human on his foot? His dignity was blown away already, no need to stomp on it.

Not bothering to turn, Sesshomaru didn't even blink when the scent of mangy wolf invaded his nose. Koga shoved his face into the inuyokai's bubble. Rin dug her fingers into his leg harder.

While trying to detach Rin from his person, Sesshomaru asked Koga what he wanted.

"Well," the wolf prince started, glancing down to Rin. "I ran into Inuyasha. He told me that you need someone to help out with Rin. My wife, Ayame, is pregnant, and she wants a kid for- practice, I guess. Thought I'd find ya and offer my services."

Sesshomaru groaned inwardly when Rin didn't budge and Koga didn't back away. "Actually," he spoke gruffly, trying to subtly push Rin off his leg, "I have already found someone. We are headed that way now."

Koga frowned. "You sure? Its not 'cause of what happened when we first met, is it? You know, you sure can hold a grudge."

The demon lord stared blankly at the wolf, finally giving up. Koga still hadn't backed off and Rin was still intent on being a leg ornament. I'm surrounded by morons.

Sesshomaru said nothing as he walked around Koga and continued on his way, ignoring the yelling wolf and the screeching Jaken and the sticking Rin. Would it be considered dishonorable if I just flew away and never came back?


"Who is she? What's her name? Is she pretty? Does she sing? What does she look like? Does she have a-"

"Shut up, you stupid human! Can't you tell that you're bothering Sesshomaru-sama?"

Rin landed a well-aimed kick to the imp and continued her questioning. "Anyways, does she have a pet dragon, too? Or, oh! I should have asked this first! Is she a human or a demon? Is she related to you? IS SHE YOUR SISTER? Jaken, where are you? I'm going to go live with Sesshomaru-sama's sister!"

As Rin pranced away, happy with what she had deduced from her Lord, Sesshomaru stared off into nothing, silently bidding his sanity a long overdue goodbye.


Personally, I think Sesshomaru should have lost it a long time ago. Eh, does anyone consider this crack? Slight crack? Maybe I should put up a warning.

...Reviews help restore Sesshomaru's sanity?
