Thank you for the reviews! The waterfall chapter was finished first. The next one will be the animal following Rin, and it will be longer than this one. After that it'll be the cavern chapter.

Rin was dozing on Ah-Un's back as the dragon walked along. Rin almost drifted to sleep when she heard a faint roaring. Rin came wide awake and sat up straight on Ah-Un. Rin glanced nervously in the direction they were headed. She wondered why the roaring sound wasn't bothering Sesshomaru. He was as calm as ever, despite walking without stopping for over a day.
Sesshomaru was quite unconcerned, as were Jaken and Ah-Un. A few more moments of uneasiness passed, before Sesshomaru spoke. "What is it Rin?"
"What's that roaring noise? Is it a demon?" Rin fidgeted nervously with Ah-Un's reigns.
Sesshomaru continued to walk as he spoke. "It is not a demon." Of course Rin couldn't sense what was a demon and what wasn't from a sound alone (although sometimes it was obvious, especially if the demon was very close by).
"What is it then Lord Sesshomaru?" Rin questioned, curious.
"..."

Rin got her answer a few minutes later, when Sesshomaru led the group into a clearing. By now the roaring had already increased in volume, until it was hard to hear.
The source? A waterfall. An enormous one, where the top of the waterfall was very tiny. The water pounded down in torrents, into the pool below, spraying water everywhere.
Rin's head was tilted up, wide eyes taking in the sight. The mist from the waterfall was covering the entire area, but Sesshomaru didn't seem to care. Ah-Un had its heads tilted up, attempting to catch the mist.
Only Jaken seemed to be unhappy, and he let everyone know it.
"If we stay here too long, we'll all be drenched!" Jaken yelled over the roar of the falls. Jakens' answer was a punt into the water.
Rin watched with faint interest, as well as concern, as Jaken floundered around until he scrambled out of the water. Once out, he sulked near Ah-Un with his recovered staff, silent but obviously even more upset than before.
Sesshomaru acted as though nothing had happened. After a few more minutes, he turned and walked off.
Ah-Un waited as Rin got off it and picked up and pocketed a rock, before coming back over to the dragon and climbing back onto its back. Once Rin was seated, Ah-Un began to follow after Sesshomaru.
Jaken trailed after all of them, silent and in a very sullen mood, which wouldn't go away for at least a few days.
---
Later, when the group had halted for the night, Rin took out the rock and examined it.
It was a blue-green color, and it shimmered as she turned it to and fro.
After Rin was finished, she put it away, curled up next to Ah-Un, and fell asleep.

That was a short (hopefully not crappy) chapter. Anyway, review if you'd like. I was trying to remember what waterfalls sounded like, but I haven't been near one for at least two or more years.
Oh well, the next chapter will be longer than this, and it should be more humorous with a little animal following Rin around (and the ending of that chapter should be fun). I'll try to get it up either today or sometime tomorrow.
So, until next time, thanks for reading/ and or reviewing!
