Hey, I updated! It's a somewhat longer chapter.

Rin was sleeping soundly, curled up next to Ah-Un, the dragon in a light doze. Nearby, Jaken paced around, fretting about why Sesshomaru hadn't returned yet. Last night, he and Rin had gotten into an argument about the demon lord's whereabouts. Rin had won the argument when she had told Jaken that Sesshomaru would return when he was done with whatever he had set out to do. She had also added that they shouldn't worry too much about it. Sesshomaru always returned.
Jaken had puffed up to make a retort, but Rin had already retreated into a shallow cavern where Ah-Un was resting. When she had gotten to the dragon, Rin had curled up next to it and promptly fell asleep. She hadn't heard Jaken's splutter of annoyance at her ignoring him.
Early dawn...
Rin awoke when Ah-Un shifted, one of its heads rising and looking out of the cavern. Rin tilted her head to see what it was looking at. Rin had to cover her mouth to stifle her giggles.
Jaken was being tossed around in the air by violent air gusts.
Rin watched with interest for a few minutes, before turning to Ah-Un, whose other head had now joined the other in watching the flailing figure in the air.
"Ah-Un, can you rescue Jaken? He'll get angry if he's up there for too long."
Ah-Un got to its feet and lumbered out of the shallow cavern, taking to the air and chasing after Jaken, who kept getting tossed higher and higher.
Rin wondered if she could do that too...
Sesshomaru returned an hour or so later, and was greeted by the sight of Jaken clinging to Ah-Un's back as the dragon tried to reach Rin, who was shrieking with laughter as she was tossed around in the wind gusts. Sesshomaru stared for a moment and wondered if perhaps he were still asleep. What in the world did that child think she was doing? The wind gusts wouldn't last forever...
As Sesshomaru thought that, the wind lessened and Rin fell from the sky with a frightened cry.
Sesshomaru leapt forward and caught Rin, landing on the ground lightly. He watched as Ah-Un landed nearby, a frazzled Jaken falling off and teetering around on the ground before finally falling over. Sesshomaru wasn't the least bit sympathetic as he set Rin on the ground.
Rin was silent for a moment, before looking up at Sessgomaru with a smile,"That was fun!"
Sesshomaru gazed down at her for a moment, and, seeing that she hadn't been injured, turned and walked off.
Rin clambered onto Ah-Un's back, the dragon moving as soon as she was seated. Rin called over her shoulder, "Come on Master Jaken! Sesshomaru is leaving!"
Jaken was still flat on his back, dazed.
Sesshomaru walked forward without any concern, knowing that the imp would eventually catch up.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Jaken's on the ground."
"..."
"Lord Sesshomaru! Jaken fell into the stream!"
"..." It was hopeless.
The wind picked up and Sesshomaru watched impassively as Jaken flew overhead.
"Lord Sesshomaru! Master Jaken is flying higher than I was!"
Sesshomaru's lip twitched ever so slightly as he predicted where the wind gusts would toss Jaken. A patch of pointy bushes next to a tree that held a nest of some kind.
Well, at least the wind did something good every once and awhile.
"Owowowowoaaaw!"
"Master Jaken! Are you all right?"
"Ngh."
"Lord Sesshomaru! What's in that nest?"
Sesshomaru looked over at Rin's expectant face. Then, "Demons." He deadpanned, and watched Jaken race around and towards the stream, chased by tiny little mice with enormous teeth.
Rin frowned, "Will he be all right?"
Sesshomaru started walking, "...yes..."
Ah-Un followed Sesshomaru again, leaving Jaken to throw off the mice and chase after his companions.
"Lord Sesshomaru...the demons are still chasing Jaken."
"..." The exercise was good for him. Besides, this way, Jaken would be too tired to pester him about the plans for the next day.
Yes, windy days did have their uses.

I think this was a very random chapter...but it was fun to type. I'd like to write more often, but sometimes I have to wait for something to inspire me. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Even words or phrases would be helpful to jump start my brain.
Anyway, until next time, thanks for reading and/or reviewing.
