-------------------------------------------
Sunlight awoke Rin the next morning, and tiredly she yawned, stretching her limbs and pushing the blanket
away as she did so. When she rubbed her tired eyes she noticed that Jaken was busy roasting a fish over the
re-newed fire, not paying much attention to her. Some distance away, eyeing the forest, stood Sesshoumaru.
Another usual morning, Rin thought.
"Morning, Jaken-sama," she said with a slight yawn, running her slim fingers through her hair to untangle
some of it.
The toad youkai grumbled back in response, seemingly more interested in getting the fish prepared for her,
she thought, then looked over to Sesshoumaru. He was still standing there, most likely he was trying to
decide today's route. Getting to her feet, she began to walk over to him.
"Morning, Sesshoumaru-sama!" she greeted, earning a nod. Which meant he probably wasn't angry at her any
longer, otherwise he would have simply ignored her she thought. This was 'normal' for him.
"Your breakfast should be done soon," he said in his usual non-chalant matter, his eyes slowly
moving over the landscape infront of him, then they glanced at Rin once before returning.
She nodded, standing by his side for a while, occasionally glancing back at Jaken.
"I will go somewhere dangerous today, so you ought to stay near the village," Sesshoumaru suddenly said,
and Rin blinked curiously up at him.
"Sesshoumaru-sama...?"
"Most likely I'll be back at nightfall."
Accepting that, Rin nodded, then blinked as she heard Jaken call out to her that breakfast was ready
and that he would toss it away if she didn't come quickly. Chuckling a bit the girl turned, running back
to the fireplace and not noticing the ways the youkai lord's eyes softened a bit.
After finishing her breakfast Rin went down to the river to get herself cleaned, splashing the cold water
into her face. She wondered where Sesshoumaru was going today, but she didn't think too much of it,
whenever the youkai lord was going to fight he always left her behind, and he always came back to her when
he was done.
But what was on her mind most was that she was going to stay at the village! Which meant that she could
see Hatsui again! Blushing a little Rin looked at her reflection in the water, remembering the last evening's
events. He had kissed her... the first boy who had kissed her... Maybe he would kiss her again today?
That thought made her stomach tingle, and she giggled a little as she got to her feet, picking some flowers
on her way back.
At least some things hadn't changed, Sesshoumaru thought bitterly as he saw Rin walking up to him and Jaken,
who was busy strapping things on Ah-Un, the large packbeast. Rin would always pick flowers he guessed...
It was fitting for her.
"Rin, we are going now," Sesshoumaru said non-chalantly, giving her a glance before turning to make his
way toward the forest.
"Ok, be careful!" responded Rin, looking up at him as she ran over, leaning up to tie a flower to his armour.
Arching an eyebrow, Sesshoumaru arched an eyebrow at the blue flower which certainly did... stand out against
his otherwise fearsome appearance (at least according to himself). To his own surprise he merely walked on,
letting the flower stay on his armour for now, at least until Rin was out of sight. He gave her a nod, then
continued on towards the forest through the tall grass, Jaken stumbling after him while yanking at Ah-Un's
leash.
Standing there for a moment, Rin waved to them before looking over her shoulder. Another whole day in the
village... with Hatsui. With that she began running, hugging the flowers close.
-------------------------------------------
"Hatsu i!"
Looking up from the ground Hatsui wiped his sweaty brow, eyes squinched as he tried to make out the form that
was running towards him from the south, the bright sun cast directly into his eyes.
"Rin..?" he blinked, then his lips widened in a smile, "I thought you were going travelling?"
Rin reached him, smiling widely as he rested his dirty showel over his shoulders.
"I'll be staying another day, so I thought I'd come to see you!" she said, blushing at the end upon remembering
the kiss last night. In response to that Hatsui smiled even more.
"Great! Dinner will be ready soon, I just got to finish up plowing some here."
"Want me to help you?" Rin offered meakly, and he nodded gratefully back at her.
"Sure, you could move the rocks?"
Rin nodded, crouching down to start on the work.
-------------------------------------------
Like the predator he was, Sesshoumaru watched the two young humans intently, standing still inbetween the trees
and concealed in the darkness of their shadows.
After reaching the forest he had dismissed Jaken, telling him to go bother someone else or face his wrath, and of course
the toad youkai hadn't ignored that order, scuttering off on his short legs. With that Sesshoumaru headed in the direction
of the village, sniffing the air and soon finding Rin's scent, then only pleasant one among all the human
stench in the area.
When he stood there outside the field, he had to snort as he saw the human boy Rin was busy chattering with, picking up
small rocks while he was busy plowing.
Was that really the boy Rin had been with last night?
He looked scrawny, but at least he seemed to be good at doing servant work... fitting for a human.
Snorting, Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes. Would that really do? Would that boy be able to take care of her?
He would have to wait and see. So Sesshoumaru kept still, eyes glued on the boy, not able to hide the malice in them though.
Yes, he would wait... ready to interfere if needed... ready... to kill the human boy if he harmed her.
-------------------------------------------
After a healthy meal Rin and Hatsui were sitting on one of the fields not too far from where he lived.
Lazy from the meal, both just sat there, enjoying the nice weather and just soaked in the calm atmosphere and
the sunshine.
"Your mom makes really good food," Rin sighed contently, leaning back a little on her elbows, watching the clouds.
Hatsui smiled and nodded.
"I know, she's really good at it... I'm sure she can teach you some things if you want to?"
"I would love to! I could really need some cooking lessons," giggled Rin, thinking of all the times she had
to find berries on her own, or catch fish in the river along with Jaken. For a long time she had to eat the same
things again and again, badly prepared. It would be nice to be able to show Jaken that she was indeed good for
something!
"Then you could help her with the dinner maybe?" Hatsui said, stretching out with a slight yawn.
"Yeah, I guess so," was her reply, watching him with a smile. Though he seemed rather shy and timid, he was really
a nice guy. Maybe not super handsome like some of the other boys she had seen, but there was something special
about him...
Silence reigned for a few minutes, and both sat there in peace.
Rin blinked as she felt his hand move to cover hers, and she turned her head to give him a surprised look.
He smiled back at her, a slight blush covering his cheeks as he scooted a little closer.
"Umm, do you... think we could kiss again?" he asked, his eyes searching hers. Slightly dumbfounded Rin
watched him for a second, then she nodded and edged closer to him, feeling that nervous feeling enter her
stomach again. Both seemed to hesitate for a moment, eyes locked as the distance between them slowly decreased,
until lips met lips. Blushing even more Rin closed her eyes, glad that she was already sitting on the ground.
Her limbs seemed to quiver a little, was it because she was afraid of this? She didn't quite know, but for now
this was quite nice...
Her hands moved up to rest against his chest, gripping the material of his shirt lightly. In return she felt his
hands slide carefully down her arms, then moving to the small of her back before his arms wrapped themselves
carefully around her waist. After a few minutes their lips parted, and Rin's eyes fluttered open, staring
right into his grey ones. Neither said a word as they regarded eachother, then Rin leaned slightly up,
shyly kissing him again, but not feeling as uncomfortable on this new territory.
-------------------------------------------
It took alot of his willpower to just sit there, and Sesshoumaru found himself to be quite sceptic to the
scene that was unfolding infront of him. The hour they hadn't been outside where he could see them had made him
surprisingly agitated, but he had calmed down after finding them back on one of the fields. That was, until
the human boy had kissed her. And it didn't seem like Rin was protesting either, by the looks of it.
Lowering his head like a stalking lion the youkai lord snarled a little for himself. Human courtship.
How distasteful.
-------------------------------------------
Upon feeling one of Hatsui's hands sneak up towards her breast, Rin's eyes went wide and she abruptly broke the kiss,
pulling back and looked at him with big and slightly troubled eyes.
"Hatsui... I... think we should keep to kissing for now... I... don't know you that well yet," she explained with
a blush colouring her cheeks when she saw his confused, if not disappointed look. But he nodded, smiling a tad
and glanced away.
"I... I'm sorry Rin, I... accept that."
Feeling better at hearing that Rin smiled too, then moved closer again, leaning her head onto his shoulder and
wrapped her small arms around his waist.
"Thank you."
-------------------------------------------
Wanting to snarl and seriously injure the human boy for even daring to grope Rin, Sesshoumaru's fists clenched and
threatened to break through the skin of his palms. So it was a sudden, but pleasantly surprise when he saw that
the human boy actually let Rin stop him in his way too daring adventure. His demeanor cooled, and he allowed himself
to relax just a little as the two human teenagers merely hugged eachother. That was ok... at least they had stopped
kissing.
