6. Sesshomaru and co
Rin was sitting in a big pot full of really hot water. She didn't mind because it was pretty chilly outside - she could feel the cool air on her face. She had also plenty to eat -pieces of onions, carrots and other vegetables were in the hot water as well. She reached out her hand and grabble a carrot. Munching on it she peered above the edge
of the pot.
There was fire going under the pot, explaining why the water - obviously a bath - was so warm. Rin looked to the edge of a small meadow where Ah-Un was sitting, playing an erhu, a soft melody filling the crisp air. She was listening to the music for a minute before praising the youkai for it was really lovely. Then she turned to her left and saw Jaken with a big spoon approach the pot.
"Hi, master Jaken!" she greeted the little youkai. "Why am I bathing? It's too late for a bath."
"Oh, don't eat the veggies!" he exclaimed and put the spoon in the water. "Here, stir it a little while I'll add more wood to the fire."
"Okay, master Jaken!" Rin switched to a kneeling position and stirred the water. "But don't add too much, the water's almost boiling and..."
"Jaken," said a calm, quiet voice. "What's the meaning of this?"
Rin almost dropped her spoon when she turned to look at her lord approach from behind the treeline. The daiyoukai's gaze swept across the meadow, taking in the unfazed Ah-Un, the cooking pot with Rin inside and Jaken bent down, a few sticks in his hands.
"Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin greeted happily while Jaken gulped.
"Rin," the girl felt the warmth around her shift and she blinked her eyes to realize she wasn't in a pot of hot water. She was sleeping between front paws of a huge white dog, his paws shining in the morning light. "It's time to wake up."
"Yes, my lord!"
A/N: What? I know it's silly! It's set after Sess got his left hand back.
