Moshimoshi minna! This story is a little fluff one with Fluffy himself and Rin. I wrote this during my stay at the awesome Camp Davern. Practically everyone in my cabin read it (including one of my crazy councilors) and they all loved it, so enjoy!
Disclaimer: OKAY! Geez. I don't own anyone from the program Inu Yasha. Only Rumiko Takahashi does and ever will. Now don't waste anymore time and read the fic!
Chapter 1: Any Question?
Sesshomaru could admit that he was quite bored as he sat on the grass against his tree trunk. He squinted as the bright rays of the sun met his bright gold eyes. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he semiconsciously stroked the fur boa wrapped around his shoulder. There was literally nothing to do on this lazy day except possibly torment that little imp Jaken. The imp however was doing something of his own business and was no where to be found. Sesshomaru had considered sparring with his worthless brother Inu Yasha but he didn't feel like finding him at the moment. I guess you could call him... lazy.
The only thing keeping Sesshomaru from dozing off was the girl about seven large paces away from him picking flowers in a nearby field. The demon didn't really know why that little human girl had stayed by his side for so many years. Sesshomaru really was a cruel demon lord who usually killed humans without so much as even a first thought, but he had done the complete opposite in reviving this not-so-little-girl anymore a few years ago. He didn't want to publicly admit it but Sesshomaru enjoyed the girl's company, even if she was annoying and smelt bad sometimes. He often caught himself staring at her as she picked flowers or did something else familiar. Like right now.
He blinked himself out of his trance as Rin smiled and began walking over to his lazy figure. Sesshomaru loved that smile. He almost felt like cracking his emotionless mask into a smile at the sight of it. His eyes followed her tall figure as she skipped over to him, folding her arms behind her back. Sesshomaru knew she was bout to offer him the bouquet of wild flowers held in her hand.
Rin reached the man and knelt down in front of him, holding out her freshly arranged collection of flowers ever so slowly. She was all too used to doing this and if Sesshomaru had kept all the flowers she had given to him a box a few meters squared, it would most likely be filled to the rim. Rin didn't really know if he kept all her flowers but all she cared for was the fact that he accepted them in the first place. Little did he know though, was that Rin's continuous bouquets were moistened in a layer of her love for him. When she was in the younger years of her life she had simply seen Sesshomaru as a good companion and savior. But now that she was older, her heart had developed strong affection for him unlike before.
Every time Sesshomaru's hand grasped the green stems of the flowers and pulled them from the young woman's hand like he was doing now, he could smell her happiness coming off in waves. But another scent always tingled at his nose which baffled him at what it was. In the past few days of being around the woman, he figured out the powerful scent, surprising himself. It was lust and love.
The ever-so-famous smile was plastered on her face as her hand was once again converted flowerless. Rin stared at the masculine yet feminine face of the man a foot away from her, captivated by his features. She was well aware of his superior nose and knew that he could most likely tell she loved him already. Sesshomaru's gold eyes slowly moved from the pink and yellow flower heads to the chocolate brown ones of Rin. Now the scent Rin was giving off was so strong it was making Sesshomaru feel a bit of pity for the human girl. He looked deeper into the eyes a foot away from him and stared. Rin blushed and cleared her throat.
"Um, Lord S-Sesshomaru?" she asked, the name rolling off her tongue like it was second nature to her. She had an important question to ask.
"What?" he said in a deep mono-tone voice. 'Oh no...' he though as he could smell her getting very nervous.
"C-could Rin – I mean I ask you a question?" Her face reddened even more.
"I suppose," he replied ('Even though you just did!'), already not liking the mood of things. 'What question could make her this nervous?' he thought. He was hoping he wouldn't have to break her heart with his answer to her question.
"Any question?" she asked again, fiddling with her hands.
He thought about it for a moment and decided if there could possibly be a worse question than what he was expecting. "Yes, any question Rin," he replied.
Feeling less nervous, Rin smiled and prepared to ask her question...
Dun-dun-dunnnnn!!! Read my next chapter to find out what the oh-so-important question is! I'll just say it's gonna be funny. So please I'd great appreciate it if you pressed the purple button down there that says GO. Arigatogosaimas! (sp?)
