"Lord Sesshomaru?"
"…"
"Lord Sesshomaru?"
"…what is it Rin?" Sesshomaru glanced over his shoulder, to where Rin was looking up at him hopefully. She had been pestering him occasionally for the past hour or so, and he finally decided to see what she wanted.
Rin smiled when she noticed that Sesshomaru was looking at her. With her best pout, she asked, "Could we please go to that village's festival?"
Sesshomaru blinked at Rin pouting at him like that, and then transferred his gaze to the village ahead of them on the path. The villagers were starting up some kind of festival. Sesshomaru considered his options. Since Jaken had been sent off on an errand with Ah-Un…it couldn't hurt to take Rin to the festival…Could it? He didn't exactly have a reason to say no...
"Very well." Sesshomaru intoned, hoping he wouldn't regret his decision. He was silently amazed at Rin's sudden change in emotions, going from sad to excited in a matter of seconds.
"Really?" Rin asked excitedly. At a nod from Sesshomaru, Rin let out a delighted whoop and dashed towards the village as quickly as she could.
Sesshomaru followed at a distance, before speeding up slightly, deciding he shouldn't let Rin be alone…in case there were any shady characters that seemed to appear out of nowhere when children were alone…Sesshomaru shook his head lightly. No. He wasn't going to be paranoid…there was nothing to worry about.

Ten minutes later and Sesshomaru was silently cursing himself for agreeing with Rin to let her attend this…festival…thing. Rin was quite happy though, having sampled several different foods and had fun playing games with other children.
Sesshomaru, on the other hand, had to ignore women who cast interested or dreamy looks his way, and avoid accepting anything from them. Human females could be very strange. What was attracting them to him? Was it his hair or eyes? His clothing? The fact that he was escorting Rin around the festival? Whatever it was, it was beginning to bother him. He didn't like all of the attention. It was...unnerving.
It didn't help that they thought he and Rin were a sweet sight. There was cooing over how adorable Rin was and how it was so nice that he father was with her. Father? Did those female humans actually think he was her father? They looked nothing alike.
Rin, however, seemed to find it all very amusing and would grab Sesshoamru's hand and attempt to tug him to different booths and stands, amidst comments whirling by them.
He couldn't take it much longer.
A teen boy sauntered over at that moment, smiling at Rin, who was looking at a few stuffed animals/dolls that could be won. He began a quiet conversation with her.
Sesshomaru stared down at the teen talking to Rin, his right hand twitching. He didn't like this teen. It reminded him of that blasted monk that traveled with his brother. If he got any closer…he would have to take drastic measures.
The teen seemed to be oblivious, and when Sesshomaru deemed he was too close, he took action.
Who said festivals couldn't be fun for demons?
A high-pitched scream rang out, along with shouts from older villagers rushing over to break up a fight.

Sesshomaru stalked along the path again, the festival a few miles behind him. Walking next to his side was Rin, who was trying very hard not to giggle. Sesshomaru pretended not to notice, so Rin spoke, "Lord Sesshomaru…he was only asking me if I wanted him to help me win one of the prizes. You didn't have to attack him…"
"…"
"Lord Sesshomaru?"

I know the last chapter wasn't very interesting. I am glad that I finally came up with another chapter. Hope it's okay. I've been randomly choosing words or phrases to help jump-start the chapters. I'd like to come up with a new list so I can update more frequently. And...Is it better for me to ramble down here than at the beginning of the chapter?
I'll update as soon as I am able to, and when homework doesn't interfere.
