Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate it! It helps me get motivated. I would have updated sooner, but I'm still running low on ideas, but hey, I updated! Amazing huh? ( I've decided that every ten chapters I'll make an interlude chapter, before attempting to make longer chapters).
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Inuyasha.

Rin glanced over at Jaken, who was cowering behind Ah-Uh. He had just recently gotten there, as an enormous demon had just been holding Jaken in its grasp moments before. But then Sesshomaru had attacked the demon, and it relinquished its hold (somewhat reluctantly) on Jaken, who had immediately fled.
Rin glanced at a few of the flowers she was holding as Sesshomaru 'talked things out' with the demons. Meaning he used Tokijin whenever the demons hadn't agreed to something he said. Rin looked at Jaken again, then up at the silent Ah-Un. "Do you think flowers would cheer Jaken up?"
The two dragon heads stared at her, the only sound being a soft grumbling growl.
Apparently, it had answered Rn's question, because she replied. "Yes, I didn't think so either...Maybe Lord Sesshomaru would like them." Again, she looked up at the dragon, and again she seemed to think it answered her. "No, you're right. Maybe not right now. He's busy dealing with the naughty demons."
The 'naughty demons' were currently being driven off by Sesshomaru's Tokijin when one of the demons had said something stupid. Even though there were several demons that were larger, they didn't seem to fancy a fight with another obviously more powerful demon.
The one demon that had been grabbing Jaken looked disappointed as it ran off, but it stopped a short distance away and continued to stare at Jaken. Rin noticed this and went around Ah-Un to question Jaken about it.
"Why was that demon holding you? Did it like you, or did you make it angry?" Rin asked curiously.
Jaken mumbled something about her and how she was annoying and foolish, but had fallen silent.
Rin turned around and saw why. Sesshomaru had crossed the field somewhat quickly, ignoring the demon gazing at Jaken. He must have not thought that the demon was in any way dangerous. Sesshomaru stared at the three for a moment, before walking away. "We're leaving." Was all he said.
"Okay!" Rin said happily, and she led Ah-Un off.
Jaken trailed after them, but glanced behind when he thought he heard something. The demon that had had a grip on him was now moving and following at a distance, its eyes glittering. Jaken let out something between a yelp and a gasp, and turned again, running after the retreating figures ahead. "Wait for me!"
The demon stopped, and seemed to watch Jaken's disappearing figure with something like sadness in its eyes. It waited until Jaken was out of sight, before turning and heading towards a forest, seeming to be depressed now.
---
Later that night, Jaken seemed to turn deaf whenever Rin questioned him about the demon.
Rin found this change amusing, so bombarded Jaken with many questions, some of them absolutely ridiculous.
"Jaken, did you like the demon? Do you think it will follow us? Would you fight it? Should Sesshomaru find it before it gets you again? Why won't you say anything? Why do you frown all the time? Why are you a small demon? What color is the sky? What color is my hair. What're the shapes on Lord Sesshomaru's kimono? Can fish fly? Why does the sun disappear? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not bothering you am I?"
"Of course you are silly girl! I'm just ignoring you."
"Why are you talking to me if you're ignoring me?"
"..."
"Master Jaken, why are you hitting your head?"
Sesshomaru didn't seem to care that Rin was bothering Jaken, or that Jaken was smacking his head against a tree. He was staring off into space, but it seemed as though a trace of a faint smile had passed across his face. "Jaken."
Jaken stopped hitting himself and glanced at Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru indicated something in the distance. It was the demon again.
Without a word, Jaken ran over to Ah-Un, and was soon disappearing into the night sky. The demon came closer and watched Jaken leave in silence. Then, the demon noticed another demon, and went over to it. The two left the area.
Rin was confused and looked at Sesshomaru. "Lord Sesshomaru? Where's Jaken going?"
Sesshomaru walked off, and Rin followed after him. She assumed that he was going to find Jaken.
---
They did find Jaken the next day. Ah-Un was curled up, and Jaken was seeming to try and drown himself in a waterfall.
But that wasn't what Rin saw. She seemed to think Jaken was playing. "Good idea Master Jaken!" Giggling, Rin ran forward and jumped into the shallow pool of water.
Sesshomaru stood silently next to Ah-Un, and he and the dragon heads seemed to exchange looks.
"Lord Sesshomau! You should get in too! Jaken likes the water!"
"..."

Yeah, kinda weird, but it was what came to mind. Review if you'd like. I'll attempt to get another chapter up sooner.
Right now it'll either be Rin waking Sesshomaru up in the middle of the night (would be around 1000 words at most) or having Rin meet up with Shippo again, but this time Sesshomaru would run into him as well, and possibly Inuyasha and the others too (this would be around 1000 to1200 words-maybe more). Those are the two I'm working on, so if anyone has a preference as to which one should come first, let me know and I'll focus on that one to get it done. If not, it'll be whichever one is finished first.
So, until next time, thanks for reading/ and or reviewing!
