Chapter 1 - Puppy Eyes

Rin's jumps, twirls and slight jogging came to a sudden stop.

'Curious,' Sesshoumaru thought, coming to a halt before continuing on slow enough, for the girl-child to follow.

Rin watched, she stared, she gaped in delight. Her mouth forming an 'O' shape as her hands reached up and her knees bending before pushing off the tips of her bare feet, only just succeeding in jumping several centimeters. With a small grunt, she landed and huffed, frustrated at her inability to grab what caught her attention.

She blew into her mouth, forming two pouches of air. Her eyebrows furrowed leaving small lines of indentation between her brows, her eyes growing wide and doe-like, arms crossed on her chest before turning to the one person who could grant her wish.

"Sesshoumaru-sama~" She whined.

Said youkai's ears twitched.

He pretended he had heard nothing but the soft whispers of nature, not the devil child behind him.

"Enough Rin!" Jaken screeched, "Do not bother Lord Sesshoumaru with your childish whi-"

"Jaken," Sesshoumaru cut in.

The water-kappa 'eeped' before falling dramatically at his Lords' feet uttering nothing but praises about the benevolent deeds of the 'Great Lord Sesshoumaru-sama, the Inu no Taishou of the prosperous Western Lands, King of all Youkai'.

"Enough"

He could feel the startings of a small headache forming within his head.

"Sesshoumaru-sama~...pleasssseeeeeee?" Rin begged, letting her lips quiver, her eyes well up with unshed tears and her hands clasped together under her chin.

Sigh

Turning his attention away from the imp beneath him he faced the demon-child.

"Rin"

She giggled happily finally having the attention of her Lord, her brown eyes no longer cloudy with tears and her frown turned upside down.

"Can I?" Rin pointed at his shoulders, then at the tree above.

'Her innocent little ploys against this Sesshoumaru works every single time,' He groaned in the confines of his mind.

'Yet I never seem to mind.'


A/N: I had this idea whilst half awake at 3:34, or so said the time stamp, but its cute sooo. Also this will be a three-shot, and a short one at that.
