A/N: This is my first posting here after getting my 'Lolicon Collection' yanked from . This is kind of just written to test on if my posting access to FF has been restored. (You guys wanna know why no new updates? I COULDN'T update, because FF net suspends posting access anytime you get a story pulled.) I dunno, between this and more flames than actual reviews, I'm kinda just getting to the point where I have no motivation to bother with SessRin anymore… I'll finish up BFT and Beautiful and then… I dunno. *sigh* (Excluding of course, a planned co-author fic with Darrakk)

The field of wild flowers stretched out before their path and Sesshoumaru subtly cringed when he heard the absolutely delighted gasp from the dark-headed girl-child who, up until now, had merely shadowed his steps with her head bowed in silent awe of him.

"Sesshoumaru-sama!" She gasped, looking up at him with eyes that said she was assigning some credit to him personally for her being happy.

Which honestly… confused the living hell out of him.

He was in no way responsible for the flowers and field she seemed so delighted by, nor had he gone out of his way to bring her to this place.

"Can Rin go pick some flowers, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

Since when had she started to look to him for permission? He held no authority over this child - nor did he wish to. That would have to be made abundantly clear. He was far too young to play 'chichi-ue' to some human whelp.

"Do as you wish, Rin." There. He had officially released her from any sort of obligation and hopefully from any stray thoughts she may have had that he was going to bear some sort of…responsibility for her now.

Such was most certainly not the case.

The young girl scampered out far ahead of him and knelt to pick flower after flower, while he kept his slow but steady pace.

The position of the sun had changed by the time they finally made it across the broad expanse and Sesshoumaru walked on with a chattering Rin in the background. Ordinarily, such noise would have bothered him, but it was so rare for the girl to speak that he ultimately decided her voice caused no harm. At least it was more pleasant than Jaken's annoying squawking.

A giant yawn and her rumbling stomach alerted him that the girl likely needed to stop for food and rest.

Bothersome, he quietly huffed to himself. He would stop… But only long enough for the girl to find nourishment and fall asleep. After that he would simply place her on Ah-Un's back and carry her along their trail.

He silently looked for a resting place and found one beneath a large tree, at the edge of the forest canopy.

When he headed off to the side none of his followers questioned him motives - even when he stopped, sniffed the air, made a small circle and sat down in what passed for a 'relaxed' posture on his frame.

Rin looked around, seemingly puzzled, or anxious. "Rin?" He questioned.

"Will Sesshoumaru-sama watch Rin's flowers while she goes to find food?" She asked hopefully.

He fought the rolling of his eyes. As if anyone in their camp or elsewhere would even want her stupid flowers. As if they would suddenly sprout legs and wonder off on their own… What a foolish child, indeed.

If only to placate her he gave a small nod and watched as she smiled broadly, placing the flowers in a pile near him and going off.

What is so important about worthless flowers?

Upon her return Rin ate several mushrooms and some berries she'd found, before she retrieved a riceball procured from a village from Ah-Un's saddle bag, happily munching away.

"Why do you pick flowers?"

The question startled both of them. He didn't actually… care… or anything, and he'd never felt the need to fill perfectly good silence with useless words… Perhaps… Perhaps he was merelycurious.

Yes. That must be it. Curiosity and nothing more.

Rin smiled broadly before giving the dumbest answer he could have imagined, "To make them happy!"

He raised an eyebrow. Child's logic was not something he was particularly good with. "Were they not happy before?"

"They get bored, stuck in the same place… They want to travel with me!"

He looked at the mixed bunch of flowers, wondering at how so many colors and varieties clashing so obviously could please her so much, "Do you not think they would be happier staying where they were, among their own kind?"

A very serious look came over her small face then, and she replied quietly, but fiercely, "No."

He meant to deter this insanity - and quickly… "They will die much sooner this way."

Rin smiled a small smile… A much wiser smile than a child's face should have held, "Yes, but… They are still much happier traveling, even if it shortens their life."

He slowly exhaled, unwilling to converse with her any longer and feeling very strangely uncomfortable, though he could not say why.

"I see."

Her brief silence made him think that she was as finished with the conversation as he was, especially when she turned and picked up a single flower.

Surprisingly, she approached him - almost shyly - and handed the flower to him. "For you."

He glanced between the girl to the flower and back again. "I do not want it." He huffed, turning his head abruptly away and hoping she would take the point and leave him be.

Rin frowned, but was undeterred, "But maybe… Maybe it wants you." She pouted and slow tears started to form… He just… He just had to accept the flower! "Please, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

He sighed, begrudgingly accepting her flower and tucking it under his Kimono lapel. He sensed this action was somehow significant, but couldn't fathom exactly how.

Rin beamed and scampered away, a very happy girl indeed.
