Sorry about the wait. This chapter was inspired by Chi Yagami's suggestion.

Sesshomaru stared off into space, pointedly ignoring the cursing coming from several yards away. Next to him, Rin sat fiddling with a flower she had picked. The silence between the two went on, as the cursing became cries of pain. Then, there was a loud splash.

Rin glanced back and saw that Jaken had leapt into the nearby stream, angry bees still hovering over the water's surface. Soon, however, the bees seemed to lose interest, and went over to where there hive had fallen and broken.

Just five minutes earlier Jaken had gotten into an argument with Rin, which resulted in Jaken bonking his head against a tree, causing the previously unseen beehive to smack him over the head and unleash the bees. They proceeded to chase Jaken, furious with their home being disturbed.

Rin looked up at Sesshomaru, who hadn't moved from where he had been standing. Glancing back at the water's edge, where a very wet and unhappy Jaken clambered out, she asked, "Lord Sesshomaru, will Master Jaken be all right?"

Sesshomaru cast an uninterested glance in the smaller demon's direction, "…" While Jaken might be uncomfortable with all of the stings, he'd eventually recover.

"Lord Sesshomaru?"

"…Yes…" Sesshomaru said in a monotone voice, turning his attention to something in the distance.

"…" Rin looked at Jaken, then to Sesshomaru again, "Lord Sesshomaru?"

"…"

"Why is there a really big bee over there?"

"…"

Jaken yelped all of a sudden and shot off, pursued by an enormous demonic bee, which the smaller bees may or may not have been trying to get to show up.

"…" Sesshomaru didn't bother watching and began to walk off. Jaken would follow eventually, once he shook off the obviously angry bee. Rin followed after Sesshomaru, wondering why he was being so quiet today.

If Rin had known that Sesshomaru had been stung as well, she might of understood. Some stings could be painful on some parts of the body.

And there was no way Sesshomaru would lower his dignity to complain or say anything about it. He would, however, think of some way to take care of it. Perhaps when Rin and Jaken were asleep.

Sesshomaru disliked bees almost as much as his idiot half-brother.

Rin followed Sesshomaru, left to ponder what could be causing his silence.

Bit short, but I wanted to put something up to show that I'm still adding chapters. I just kind of wait for inspiration to strike.

Until next time, thanks for reading and/or reviewing!
