Hey, I'm finally updating after some evil writer's block. I just came up with this in my English class, but hopefully it's all right. And again, I do think that Sesshomaru will humor Rin.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Inuyasha.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sesshomaru was watching Rin in silence. The little girl was looking at some book with pictures in it and was giggling occasionally. Sesshomaru wrinkled his nose ever so slightly. Jaken must have let Rin out of his sight, as he could smell remnants of that woman who traveled with his half-breed brother, as well as that puny fox demon. He would question Jaken later. At the moment the smaller demon was attempting to catch fish in a nearby stream.

Rin turned a page and giggled again at the page she had turned to. The book that she was currently reading had actually been bound together by Kagome. The pictures had been drawn by Shippo, who had been having a burst of creativity. Rin had been given the book earlier in the day when Jaken had forgotten about her and she had wandered off.

Rin had been very excited to receive the book from Kagome and Shippo. Rin smiled when she remembered how she had thanked them and, after looking at a few of the pages, praised Shippo for how great the pictures were. She had giggled when Shippo ran off, blushing. Rin had then said good-bye to Kagome and wandered off to locate Jaken.

Rin had found Jaken a few minutes later, and apparently he hadn't noticed her absence. Rin followed Jaken back to camp, where she had settled down and began looking through her book full of colorful pictures.

This brought things back to the current page she was looking at. It was a picture of Sesshomaru in his true demonic form, batting a paw at a crudely drawn Inuyasha. Rin noted in amusement that there was a scribble under one of the paws, which she assumed may be a squashed Jaken.

Jaken,meanwhile, had given up on fishing, and was currently attempting to get a fire started. He was slowly growing irritated with Rin's seemingly never-ending giggling.

Sesshomaru rose gracefully from the rock he had been resting on, and passed by Jaken, who was blissfully unaware of the look Sesshomaru had shot at him. Sesshomaru rested on another rock, where he could glance down and see what was amusing Rin so much. Not that he really cared. More just curious. He watched as Rin turned a page and started to laugh again.

Sesshomaru tilted his head slightly, and gazed down at the book, then blinked. The picture Rin was looking at suspiciously resembled him throwing his half-breed brother into a pool of water. Sesshomaru's dead-pan expression changed ever so slightly. He remained on the rock, silently looking at the pictures as Rin turned the pages. Many of them depicted him either fighting with Inuyasha, beating up a scribble of Jaken, doing something in his true form as well, like playing around in a field, which Sesshomaru couldn't recall doing or would ever do.

Rin closed her book suddenly and set it to one side. She flopped onto her back and smiled widely up at Sesshomaru, "Hello Lord Sesshomaru. What are you doing up on that rock?"

Sesshomaru turned his head to gaze at some nearby trees, "Nothing. I am merely resting here because I feel like it."

Rin smothered another giggle, because she had noticed Sesshomaru glancing down at her book, "Did you like any of the pictures?"

Sesshomaru seemed to ignore her for a moment, before replying, "They all seemed to be rather…interesting in their illustration." There was a silence, than he asked a question with a faint smirk, "Perhaps one of them will be real again."

Rin looked confused. She couldn't remember the last time she saw Sesshomaru smile, unless he was enjoying beating Inuyasha, and even then he usually didn't smile. Thinking of nothing else to say, she questioned, "What do you mean my Lord?" Rin watched in silence as Sesshomaru hopped down from the rock and stalked over to where Jaken was seated, cursing the pitifully small fire he had got going.

Rin grinned when she realized what Sesshomaru was up to. Rin laughed as she watched Sesshomaru punt a flailing Jaken through the air and land with a splash into the stream. Rin picked up her book and ran over to where Sesshomaru had seated himself on another rock. "Was that what you meant by one of the pictures being real, Lord Sesshomaru?"

Sesshomaru's expression was blank again, " Jaken seems to be neglectful of keeping an eye on you and allowing meetings with my half-breed brothers' friends." Sesshomaru fell silent and pretended that he hadn't even said anything.

Rin merely smiled and sat down on the ground to look at the pictures again, as well as watch Jaken get out of the water with a wriggling fish attached to his backside. Rin laughed at the sight, and didn't notice the faint trace of amusement in Sesshomaru's eyes.

Sorry if the some of the punctuation was off. I wanted to get this chapter up because I feel bad for not updating as often. It would help if people would just say random words or something. That might spark a chapter. Like this chapter I based it around the word book.

Anyway, thanks for reading and/or reviewing and hopefully the next update will be sooner.
