Sesshoumaru looked down at the small girl at his side, who currently held his mokomoko-sama captive. He was accustomed to the girl sleeping at his side, but it was beyond him how she ended up completely taking over his prized possession to the extent of pulling it off of his shoulder and wrapping herself up in it without him noticing. It was time to move on, the sun just coming over the horizon painting the clouds and hillside with various shades of orange and red. He could just wake her up and take it from her, but she was so deeply asleep and snoring that he didn't want to wake her and hear her cry. Or he could wrap her up in it and put her on Ah-Un's back, but then risk being seen without his famous trademark "fluffy" and be the laughing stock as he didn't look as impressive without it. 'Do I even look menacing with that thing?' he thought to himself, still weighing out his options.

He shook his head, finally coming to his decision. He would pay the price for the redemption of his item. After all, it would be Jaken who would have to deal with it while he 'sensed a demonic presence' and left to 'patrol'.

Gently he shook Rin, already cringing at the thought of her shrill cries. "Rin," he said, shaking her a bit more.

She yawned and stretched, then her eyes fluttered. "Sesshoumaru-sama?"

"Yes, it's time to go." He began to work the oversized boa away from her, only to have her pull it back and curl up more.

"Rin's still sleepy."

He groaned. "Rin, it is time to go. You can go back to sleep on Ah-Un's back." He tugged at mokomoko-sama again.

"But Rin's happy here!" she whined. Her eyes were now wide open, she was fully awake and beginning to pout.

'Here it comes.'

As if on cue, her lip started to quiver and her eyes began to water. "Sess-sess-shoumaru-sama...."

His plan hadn't turned out quite as planned. Instead of the cries he got the whining, which was even worse in his mind. Not wanting to hear any more he wrapped the fluff around her and picked her up, depositing her on the back of the large creature that had become a mode of transportation as well as a friend to her.

Happily, Rin curled into her prize and drifted back off.

Sesshoumaru began to walk away, wondering when the girl had wrapped him around her little finger just as sneakily as she had taken his mokomoko-sama.

'Maybe no one will notice.'
