Rin shifted her weight slightly as waited patiently for Miss Wolf to awaken. For some reason she could not bring her self to call the woman by her first name. She thought it rude seeing as the wolf was a full grown adult and she was merely child. Then there was the way the wolf demon carried herself, so regal and poised even when she panicked. Rin hoped she would be like her when she grew up. Perhaps Miss Wolf would stay around for awhile. Even Lord Sesshomaru was curious about her. “Maybe Lord Sesshomaru will settle down with Miss Wolf and they'll have pups for me to play with…” The thought brought about a fit of giggles to the young girl as well as a blush.

 

Jaken in his infinite wisdom explained the birds and the bees to her one day when they came across two young lovers running back to their village after mating. Sesshomaru and Jaken seemed bothered by their scent while Rin was bothered by their behavior. She had seen the male caressing the female in a fashion that she thought was inappropriate and thus an explanation ensued. Naturally the talk only raised more questions and Rin ended up having to seek out her lord for answers after leaving Jaken laid out on the ground with his head spinning. The imp was so over dramatic.

 

Of course nothing could prepare her for her Lord's response. He answered her questions through gritted teeth that was until she asked him about how often he had done it, what was it like, when would he do it again, could she watch, and when would the pups come. She had never seen her Lord flabbergasted before, well his eyes widened slightly… close enough. Also she was not sure, but she thought she saw a faint touch of crimson on his cheeks before he simply got up and walked away. “Those questions are inappropriate, Rin, do not ask again,” he said while walking away.

 

Thinking back on the situation, she now knew that she embarrassed her Lord with such personal questions. One of her attendants explained while giving her a bath, she was still burning with questions, and they explained that mating was personal not to be public knowledge. After that she was good on information, but that did not change the fact that she noticed her Lord lacked female companionship. She had heard servants talk about how it was not good for a male to be alone and that it was inuyokaI instinct to form families.

 

Rin was so bold once to ask her Lord why he was not mated and he simply stated that he had not found anyone suitable. She nodded and gave her Lord one of her famous hugs then went to bed. That night she decided that she would find someone suitable for her Lord then he would be happy and she would have lots of friends to play with. She would be a big sister and tell them what to do like she saw some girls do in the villages when they passed near. Another fit of giggles started as she thought of all the fun she could have.

 

Blue eyes opened groggily at the sound of merriment so early in the morning. It had been the best rest she had had in quite some time. The dreams were extremely odd despite everything and she hoped she was not talking in her sleep again. The girls always got their best ammunition that way. All she needed was another goof up while resting. “Morning, Miss Wolf,” Rin greeted.

 

“Call me Ami, Rin,” she replied automatically before pausing. Her eyes widened and she sat up. Her brow furrowed slightly in surprise at the little girl sitting patiently at the bottom of her futon.

 

“Hai, Lady Ami.”

 

Ami smiled at the girl's compromise. “Good morning.”

 

“Good morning again,” she chirped before jumping to her feet. “We will be able to have breakfast together. Hurry, Lord Sesshomaru doesn't like it when I am late.”

 

Ami nodded and stood to her feet. “I need to freshen up first.”

 

“You can take a bath with Rin,” she pulled on Ami's hand and led her out of the room. “You've been sleeping a long time. I was wondering if you would ever wake up. Lord Sesshomaru said you foolishly released too much of your youki and had to recup…recuperate.” Rin slid the shoji of the bath house then pushed Ami inside. “I'm glad you're okay.”

 

“Sorry I worried you. How long was I asleep?”

 

“Three days,” Rin answered. She stripped her kimono then kneeled down in front of the small waterfall that had been diverted from the hot springs for bathing. The bath house looked like a garden with a bath as the pond. It reminded Ami of the Japanese version of the secret garden. The scenery was breathtaking. “It's so nice having someone to bathe with, I asked Lord Sesshomaru to bathe with me and he said it was improper.”

 

“He's right,” Ami agreed getting undressed as well.

 

“Is it because when a male and female are naked they mate?”

 

“Where did you hear that!?” Ami squealed nearly falling over. Rin flushed seeing that she asked an improper question gain.

 

“That question was improper, I'm sorry.”

 

Ami shook her head. “No… you wanted to know… so … well yes that is correct in most cases. With him, he probably did not feel comfortable.”

 

“Oh, okay.” Rin smiled. Everything made perfect sense. She was a little girl. If Lord Sesshomaru were to mate it would have to be an adult. “Do you have a mate, Lady Ami?”

 

“No, I don't.”

 

“Have you ever…”

 

“Rin, that's personal. You keep information like that to yourself and when you're old enough males will seek you attention as well.”

 

Rin nodded. “Lord Sesshomaru says that when I am old enough that he will find someone suitable.” She smiled then took on a Sesshomaru like expression. “… and not just anyone will suit you, Rin. You are considered my pup and will be treated as such.” She giggled.

 

“You won't find this so amusing in about six years. That will be quite a battle,” Ami smirked. Clearly he had rubbed off on the girl and was taking good care of her by the looks of everything. “Spoken like a protective father.”

 

“Really!” Rin blushed. “It would be an honor to be considered Lord Sesshomaru's pup, but I am just a weak human servant.”

 

“As a human, well when I am normal anyway, I resent that comment. You are not weak and neither is any other human. Rin, a servant does not dress in fine kimonos and speak freely with her lord.” Ami rinsed off and two settled into the bath. “He told you he considered you his pup and I have feeling he does not mince words.”

 

“Thank you, Lady Ami, for being so nice.”

 

“It's easy when you're nice as well.” She smiled and slicked her bangs back.

 

“Lady Ami, what's that symbol on your head? Is it your birthright?”

 

“Yes. It shows that I have the blessing of Mother Mercury, my home planet.”

 

“Planet?”

 

“Yes, where I come from is far away from her in the stars.” Ami hope it was sufficient enough. Explaining travel through space was not easily explained.

 

Rin clasped her hands together in delight, “so you're an angel then? You come from heaven.”

 

“Not that high up,” Ami replied. “I am a human well I used to be so I guess right now I am a demon. I'm either borrowing someone's body or in a past life I was a demon and never awoke to the experience.”

 

“Oh you're a reincarnation,” Rin concluded. Ami smiled faintly as she thought of the many times she had been reborn that she actually knew about. “You're just like Kagome. Except she comes from a place called Tokyo.”

 

Ami's eyes widened as she stood up. “She's from Tokyo? Does she dress strangely?”

 

“She wears strange kimonos that she calls uniforms. She says she wears them to school. That's a place where they teach you things. Jaken taught me my numbers and to read. He says Lord Sesshomaru doesn't like to be surrounded by idiots.”

 

“He sounds like a real winner,” Ami mumbled lowly then changed the subject. “Rin would you introduce me to Kagome.”

 

Rin's face clouded. “Lord Sesshomaru will not allow it. Kagome lives with his half brother Inu Yasha; I think they are mated now. Inu Yasha and Lord Sesshomaru don't get along very well, but I think Lord Sesshomaru likes Inu Yasha in his own way.”

 

“Rin…”

 

“Rin!” Jaken burst into the bath house, “you are keeping Lord Sesshomaru….”

 

“Hentai,” Ami screamed. She stood in front of Rin protectively then covered herself. A flush covered her face as waves formed in the spring. “Get out!” A small wall of water shaped like a fist knocked Jaken out of the house and across the hall.

 

“Ah,” he groaned as he slid down the wall in the hall.

 

“Hmmm,” Sesshomaru stood at the other end of the hall. Perhaps he should have warned the imp that their guest was bathing as well, but then he would have missed this display.

 

In record time, Ami was dressed and standing over Jaken. She nudged him with her feet. He was still alive. “It is not proper to barge in on ladies when they are bathing.”

 

“Apologies, I thought Rin was alone.”

 

“Rin is a young, lady,” Ami pointed out, “and I am sure your lord would agree. Come along Rin.” She turned her nose up and walked down the hall. Rin followed behind her curiously trying to stifle her giggles. She swallowed them completely upon seeing Sesshomaru. Judging from his lack of action he approved of Lady Ami's method. She ran from behind her wolf friend and greeted her lord.

 

“Good morning, Lord Sesshomaru, “she grinned.

 

“Rin, punctuality is a virtue,” he replied cryptically as he turned to leave, “that goes for the wolf as well.”

 

Ami nearly rolled her eyes. He was so stuffy. Now she knew why it drove her friends bonkers sometimes. “It is a virtue that I value highly.”

 

“We will see,” he replied walking in a different direction. “Rin, you and the wolf will eat and then assist her in arriving at my study.”

 

“My name is Ami Mizuno.”

 

Rin smiled and tugged on Ami's wristband as a warning. “Yes, Lord Sesshomaru.” The two continued onward, “Lady Ami, Lord Sesshomaru would not like that tone. He expects the utmost respect.”

 

“Then he should return it as well,” Ami nearly snapped then sighed. What was she doing? She was a guest and the demon had all of the answers to her questions. Angering him would get no where. There had to be a reason for all the games, bringing her here and then acting as though he knew nothing of the situation. It was going to take some time to sort out and by the looks of things she was going to be stuck here awhile. She had serious doubts of anyone saving her, they had to know where she was in the first place and figuring out the technical stuff was her department. She was so screwed. “Mina's probably telling them all the gory details right now and they are throwing a pity party for me. I won't have it!” Ami balled her fist. She would figure way out this situation with the best things she had her brains and for now the plan called for a cool head. She might as well play nice, besides it was not like she had a whole lot going on in her life. “Okay, Rin, I will try it your way.”

 

“Thank you, Lady Ami,” she smiled. She pulled Ami down the hall to the dining area as her mind swirled with mischief thoughts. Lady Ami is perfect.
