A.N- This isn't my first fic, but it is my first Rin and Sesshoumaru fic. Criticism welcomed. Keep in mind this is comedy, so OOC is more than likely going to occur. [I've edited this story, so sorry for the previous grammar errors and other mistakes.

Rin's Four Legged Obsession

Chapter 1: The Puppy

The villagers continued on with their everyday life, farming, trying to persuade merchants for a bargain, scolding the naughty little children who got in the way and, of course, watching out for demons.

Rin skipped into the village, followed closely by Jaken, who was as usual complaining about how Rin annoyed him, and constantly got in the way! The villagers didn't seem to mind Rin in their village, though. A young girl who was as harmless as a water sprite? Of course she was welcomed! Demon frog with her or not!

But Rin continued to skip and hum as she had been doing since she left the castle, ignoring Jaken's complaints with perfection. Half the way to the village, she had ridden AhUn but the other half she walked, well, skipped.

As a kid in the Western Castle, she didn't get much excercise. Not many people her age were at the castle, so she had to play with Jaken a lot. And he was uber lazy when they were home.

Rin made her way up to a Merchant's stand and saw the most beautiful kimono she'd ever laid her brown eyes upon. It was pale pink and made of silk, with tipped velvet, red edges.

Pulling the kimono off the stand, Rin placed it up against her. Almost fits.

"Do you like that, young one?" Asked the kimono's creator.

Rin looked at him, nodding, then over her shoulder at Jaken, hopeful."Master Jaken? Can I?"

Jaken immediately yipped out a "NO!"

Walking away, the young girl mumbled a few choice, bad, words under her breath before throwing the kimono back on the stand.

"Why you...!!" started Jaken, angry at being disrespected.

Rin kicked sand at his face. "If Lord Sesshoumaru were here, he'd buy Rin that kimono!" Rin yelled. When she got angry, she started to refer to herself in the third person. But she referred to herself in third person a lot...

Jaken grumbled as he tried to get the sand out of his eyes. "Why you...I'm gonna...Ungrateful runt!"

Rin was now around ten summers old and had quite an attitude with Jaken. When she wanted something, he said 'no', but when she didn't want any of his badly chosen kimonos, he got angry. So she'd learn to get angry back at him.

You know the saying 'Monkey see, monkey do'. Or the more popular one of kids learn from seeing? Well, this little human child learned quickly around the demons who were raising her!

"Lord Sesshoumaru would get Rin the kimono!" Rin yelled again, drawing the attention of the merchants nearby.

"Lord Sesshoumaru would do no such thing, you stupid child!" yelled Jaken in return.

Rin kicked more dirt at his face, then turned away and looked up at the merchant again.

"How much?" she asked kindly. Talk about bipolar...maybe she was too spoiled for her own good...

The merchant stared down at her, wide eyed. "L–L-L-LORD...SE-SE-SESSHOUMARU?" he yelled in shock.

Rin turned around, glancing at the nearby people and merchants, who were all staring at her in fear. She didn't realize they were ALL staring at her.

"Where?" she asked, confused. She glanced around, "I don't see milord anywhere."

Jaken came up, eyes teary from the sand that was still in them. "Where is mi'lord?"

"You are the lord's...uh...you know?" Asked a young man, who was just a few summers older than Rin.

His question wasn't as innocent as it sounded. How could he even thing a child was Sesshoumaru's concubine!? Jaken thought, disgusted. Humans were so-- But Rin's question stopped him from reprimanding the young boy.

Rin did not hear the boy's question, though. "Master Jaken, will lord Sesshoumaru be mad if Rin buys this kimono?" she asked, holding the kimono in her hands. She was having second thoughts. Sesshoumaru did say that Jaken knew what was best for her. Sometimes.

"Yes!" Jaken decared, but the girl didn't seem to acknowlege him.

The merchant begin to sweat furiously. "Aye, she is..." He mumbled to the boy.

Rin glanced at the young boy then back to the merchant. "Rin wants to buy this," she said, resolutely while shoving the kimono in the merchant's face.

"YOU BAKA GIRL,YOU ARE LORD SESSHOUMARU'S CHARGE, SHOW SOME RESPECT TO YOUR ELDERS..." Jaken yelled, referring to himself, "OBEY ME, AND DO NOT BUY THAT!"

The determined look on his face went unheeded by the small girl. "How much?"

The merchant backed away a bit. "You...y-y-y-you are the l-lord's charge?" he asked, "Our governing Lord? The great inu youkai, Sesshoumaru-sama!?" The villagers knew much of Sesshoumaru since their village was just outside the borders of the Western lands. Lord Sesshoumaru had a popular reputation. Very. Whether it was a good rep. or bad, that depended on how you came across the inu.

If you were lucky, it was on good terms; meaning you lived through the encounter. On a better note, he was a praised demon. He protected the lands and their village...If anything, the safest place to live, for humans and demons alike, was the Western lands.

"Yes," said Rin, "you know Lord Sesshoumaru?"

The merchant freaked. "Take the kimono, take anything you want!" he said shoving it at her.

Rin smiled, completely oblivious to the fear that radiated off the Merchant. She threw all the 'gifts' at Jaken, who was forced to carry them.

She walked ahead of Jaken, a few feet, then stopped dead in her tracks.

Jaken bumped into her legs, dropping Rin's newly acquired belongings. 'Filthy humans' He thought, still angry at the girl's rude behavior.

He was sure one of the wretched humans had gotten in their way. Since they, somehow, found out that Rin was Sesshoumaru's charge, they've seemed to keep their distance, hoping not to catch Rin's attention, and have heractually start a conversation.

They actually parted ways, when she passed by them.

Jaken looked around Rin's leg and noticed a wagon full of creatures; dogs and puppies.

Rin squealed in joy. "Oh, Master Jaken! Rin wants one!" She rushed to the wagon, leaving Jaken to clean up the mess he made.

The merchant at the wagon winced and fidgeted as he saw Rin approach him at full speed. One of his puppies jumped off the wagon and ran to meet the girl as though they were destined to be together.

"Awwwww!" Rin squealed, again, "Can Rin have it?"

The merchant twitched in fear and stuttered out something that didn't sound anything remotely like human speech.

"Hm?" asked Rin, cuddling with the puppy.

"Take 'em, please! Just...have it!" Said the merchant. He finally gained enough courage to speak.

"Thank you. How much?" asked Rin, not bothering to look at the man. She just couldn't take her eyes off the pup!

"Nothing! Free of charge! Take it!" cried the merchant.

Rin smiled and took the puppy. "Master Jaken, Lord Sesshoumaru will be so pleased, look! Rin got a puppy for us!".

Jaken doubled over. "You WHAT?"

And so, as they headed back to the castle with Jaken struggling to carry all Rin's clothes and Rin petting her puppy, happily, Jaken couldn't help but think of what his Master's reaction would be.

'This is not good,' Jaken thought, 'Lord Sesshoumaru won't stand for another dog in hiscastle'.
