I Do Not Own Inuyasha

Chapter 13

Not again!

His mind groaned as he rolled over and covered his head with a pillow. The sixteen year old was beginning to regret giving her the damn iPod. Music was blaring and she was singing along to it, happily too, he might add; and he only wanted to sleep. She leapt onto his bed then.

"Sesshomaru!" she whined as she shook his shoulder.

"Go away Rin," he grumbled.

"Come on Sesshomaru!" she persisted as he rolled over. She needed to go to sleep or something, for the love of all that was holy it was his only day off! And it was six in the morning according to his clock.

"Go to sleep Rin," he ordered. Usually the command would get when he wanted but the child appeared to be in one of her moods as she continued jumping on him and shaking his king size bed.

"You promise!" she reminded him sharply.

"And we'll go, just not now. Besides it's not open," he yawned out as she sat on his back. He glanced over his shoulder, she appeared all set to go. Her messy hair had yet to be brushed, her morning breath was killing him, her plaid skirt matched her poke-a-dot shirt and kitten stockings, and her eyes were bright with excitement. There was no way in hell he was being seen with her if she was dressed like that! He didn't care if she was best friend or not, she was not leaving this mansion dressed like that! He rolled over, she straddled his stomach and grinned at him in excitement.

"But I wanna go now!" she persisted.

"It's closed at the moment," he grumbled as he fell back on his pillow. He had created a monster!

"But!"

"We're going Rin, I said we'd go, but it's not open yet," he said firmly.

"You promise?' she challenged.

"Of course, now if you do not mind I wish to sleep and turn off that music!" he growled as he grabbed the child and set her off of him so he could hide under his cover again. Perhaps she would stop being so demanding and would sleep a bit. Else she'd be a tad bit cranky this afternoon. Before he really thought about what he had thought she was curled up against him, yawned and was back to being the heat monster from his nightmares. He propped himself up to glare at her as mokomoko wrapped securely around her. Then he went to sleep.

They woke at eight to get ready. He had her dressed properly in one of her sundresses rather than that atrocity she had thrown on earlier. He did her hair how she liked and then he had loaded her up in the car. Rin talked a million miles an hour she was so excited, he just listened because that's what he did best as he drove them to their destination. He carefully unloaded his human, then he scooped up the new eight year old who had yet to stop talking in her excitement and walked to the ticket booth. He ignored the idiots who gaped at him and Rin, she was oblivious to the stares but it didn't matter as she told him everything she wanted to do on her birthday.

"Rin," he said coldly as he handed her her ticket. She grinned with delight.

"Thank you for taking me to the zoo, Sesshomaru-sama," she kissed his cheek she he was carrying her and he gently pressed his nose to her cheek in affection.

"Happy birthday," he said as he set her down. She grabbed his hand and he found himself dragged all over the zoo. Not that he particularly minded. Rin was happy and that was all that mattered. The people staring at him and Rin though were beginning to annoy him, but since she was happy he decided to enjoy himself for the day.

"Hello," he answered his phone coldly as he watched Rin feed a giraffe.

"Where are you Sesshomaru!?" her voice demanded.

"Off," he replied.

"Well, we're waiting at the café for our study group." Sara informed him, he scowled.

"I'm not going to be there," he said firmly as Rin laughed when the giraffe's tongue lapped up her offered food. He felt himself smirk as he watched her giggle with delight and chat with another boy around her age. The boy was scared, he guess from the scent and trembling the boy was doing and she was coaxing him to feed the giraffe. She waved at him he didn't acknowledge her with anything but a nodd.

"What could be so important you're missing our study date?" Sara asked in annoyed voice.

"Many things," he hung up with that as Rin skipped up to him. She latched onto his hand as they continued walking through the zoo. She told him all about feeding the giraffes, she pouted when there was a crowd in front of the tiger enclosure. Being the dutiful guardian he was he grabbed her and leapt into the air so she could look at the tigers.

They ate ice-cream, they even had American burgers which Rin loved, and they did all the zoo stuff which he found boring but Rin thought was a blast. He bought her a new stuffed animal and a shirt, he even bought a shirt for himself at Rin's insistence, and he got her a ball cap before they left late that night. She was fell asleep in the back of the car as he drove them home. Pulling up to the Taisho Manor he glanced in the rearview mirror at Rin's sleeping form. Today had been fun, even for him, he smirked as he got out of the car. He carefully unloaded Rin into his arms when he was greeted by Koga. Koga blinked at him as he walked up to his home.

"Where ya been mutt?" Koga demanded.

Sesshomaru shrugged as he walked in.

"Seems the date was hot if you tuckered her out," Koga commented.

He glared at the okami.

"She's going to break some hearts one day, what are you going to do then?" Koga asked softly as Sesshomaru placed her in her bed.

"She's not dating!" he hissed at his friend.

"Uh-huh, you can't prevent it unless you lock her away."

"Hn," he just might…

"Sara was pist that you blew off the study date," Koga informed him as they walked to the kitchen.

"Hn." Sara could go fuck herself for all he cared. Then again, he did need a bed partner so he'd need to make up with Sara and soon. But he was happy he had kept his promise to Rin. She would never forget today. And pissing Sara off had been worth today.

That's all for now folks!

Night!

Enjoy Rain for Tears! =)
