"Aaaaahhh...." Rin sighed as she sank into the warm, bubbling water at the natural spring she had found. Her feet, strangely enough, didn't ache from the walking she had done today. The present still lay unopened as did the small pack of food she had brought with her. She had eaten fruits and berries she had found along the way, and saved the meat for when she really needed it, such as now.
Turning over and causing nearly imperceptable ripples in the water, she reached for her supply bag and pulled out a large piece of dried meat. A groan escaped her as the sharply spiced flavor washed over her tongue. Within scant minutes it was gone and she looked at her hands in dissapointment. Logically she knew not to eat more, but she ignored it and grabbed another piece, smaller this time, and downed it in much the same manner as she had done the first. When it was done she sighed in contentment again, and dived beneath the water to play underneath and wash.
oooooooooo
Sesshomaru gave a sniff to the air about him, and made a sharp left. He smelled a spring a little ways off in that direction, and, having spent the last two days with no water in sight, had begun to resent his own smell. The smell, although imperceptable to humans, as well as most demons, was pretty bad to someone used to bathing every morning and night. He smelled...like a dog...only not...He wasn't even sure what he smelled like, it was just different, and difference was bad.
Jaken protested at the sudden change in course, but said nothing after a glare was sent his way. Ah-Un didn't react at all.
By sundown they had reached an area close to the spring, and Jaken was told to wait there. He never admitted it, but having someone, servant or not, had always made him feel weird inside. It was as if his privacy was being invaded. Or maybe it was just a reaction to Jaken. He hadn't felt a need to be alone when bathing until he met the toad. He gave a sniff to the surrounding area before getting close enough to actually see the water. He could smell a human female a ways off, as well as a small amount of meat, but didn't let it bother him. The scent was at least an fifth of a mile away, and that was far enough for safety.
Giving a paranoid look about, he quickly stripped away his armor and robes, before diving in to the warm depths. It was wonderful to feel clean again, after all the dust that (believe it or not) had built up on his person from the road. A fish swam by him, but got away before he could playfully snap it up in his jaws. It was no big loss, he wasn't hungry anyway. He needed to eat every once in a great while, which translated into about once a month in large amounts, but other than that it wasn't a necessary function.
Regardless he followed the fish, wanting to chew on something. It began to swim faster, panicked from the large demonic aura following it, and after a few seconds of playing with the poor creature, he kicked faster. Unfortunately it took that moment to turn a bend that hid the other side from his view. He swam it too fast, and managed to not only get the fish snapped up, but almost ran into the same human female he had disregarded so casually earlier.
Her eyes widened along with his and they both immediately headed for the top of the water.
"Eeeeek!" Rin shrieked right after her feet and arms had her headed for cover behind a rock. Sesshomaru barely reacted at all, except to keep himself as submerged as possible. It wasn't that hard considering the water came up to his chin, which meant there was no way to see anything past about mid-chest other than a blur. He watched the girl, vaguely amused that she was cowering behind a rock and shooting him death glares.
"Who are you!?" She yelled at him. He almost winced, considering she was little more than an arm widths distance from him.
"Leave wench." He said calmly.
"Answer me!" She said again, this time lower than the first.
"Do as I say."
"I was here first. You leave."
"I could kill you."
"No you couldn't."
"You dare disagree with me?" Okay, now he was just amused. He wasn't in the mood to kill anything, so this was a nice distraction. Not only that, the girl tugged at memory somehow. He wasn't sure why she did, there was nothing special about her. Her eyes and hair were a common combo, and her height was hardly amazing. Maybe it was the fact that she was human, although the only humans he ever came into contact with were his brothers wench, the demon slayer, a few servants back at the home he hardly ever stayed in, and...
"Rin..."
He wasn't aware that he had said her name aloud until the girl gasped, then grew defensive.
"How do you know my name?! What are you, a demon or something???!!!" He held back a bark of laughter. Yes, as a matter of fact he was a demon. His mind went blank for a second, then started up again with a great deal of shock.
"Your name is Rin?" He asked her, suddenly curious. It was hardly possible that it was the same Rin, but then again, he couldn't smell anything except water. It was an unfortunate side-effect of being a dog demon. She glared harder at him, if that were possible.
"Well gee...after that last sentence, I guess so. It's not I like I can take it back and lie to you. Hi! I'm Michi!"
The smile on her face was so blatantly false, it offended him. But at the same time, it helped confirm the suspicion rising in his mind. Slowly, he began to swim toward her, trying to be as unthreatening as a person with a demonic aura the size of his could be. There was only one thing left to test. It was something out of his character, but he tried it anyways. He began to sing under his breath, loud enough for her to hear, but queitly enough so no one else could.
