This idea come out of nowhere, and while I doubt Sesshomaru would react this way, it was still fun to write.

Rin rested more comfortably against Ah-Un as the two headed dragon fell into a light doze, ready to leave at any given moment. Rin glanced across the clearing, to where Sesshomaru was staring down at some small item on the ground. The demon lord had been standing in a tense position, ready to strike the object should it move or show any malice. Rin, however, had soon recognized the item as something Kagome would have with her. What was it called again? Oh. An umbrella. Did Kagome drop it?
Rin turned to Jaken, who was in danger of falling asleep, "Master Jaken?"
Jaken jerked out of his doze, "What is it?" He asked irritably.
Rin looked back at Sesshomaru, "When should we tell him that he's glaring at an umbrella?"
"..."
Jaken looked at Sesshomaru as well, who was standing motionless in the clearing, hand poised to attack, "...I wouldn't tell him at all..."
Rin blinked, turning her attention skyward.
It had begun to rain.
Ignoring Jaken's stuttering protests, Rin stood up and walked over to Sesshomaru, stooping to grab the umbrella. She missed the faint look of surprise cross Sesshomaru's face. It was gone almost instantly, but it had been there nonetheless. Rin fiddled with the umbrella, and when she managed to pop it open, she again missed Sesshomaru's reaction. He had taken a half a step back. Rin held it over her head, stopping the rain from getting her wet. She turned and smiled up at the baffled demon.
Sesshomaru relaxed from his tense posture when he had seen that the umbrella was harmless. He wanted to ask what it was, and where it had come from, but...
"I think this is Kagome's." Rin said in answer to his unasked question of where the umbrella had come from. She didn't know that Sesshomaru was trying to deny and ignore the fact that he had been glaring at the thing for hours.
Sesshomaru stared at the 'umbrella' for a moment, and, deciding that it looked like a fancier version of something a human would wear on their head that was native to this land, turned away. The material was different, but it didn't really matter to him anymore. Heedless of the rain, Sesshomaru began to walk off, silently stating that they were going to leave.
Since Sesshomaru hadn't said anything about the umbrella, Rin figured she could keep it until she found Kagome to give it back to.
It'd keep her from getting soaked, as the light rain had suddenly turned into a downpour.
I updated sooner! Thank you for the reviews! One of the reviews for ch. 37 gave me an idea for a new chapter, so that one will be up after the next interlude chapter.
Until next time, thanks for reading and/or reviewing!
