A little girl sprinted across a field. "Kagome-chan! Kagome-chan!"

Kagome closed the book she was reading under the shade of the tree, and looked up at the child bouncing back and forth.  She couldn't help but smile. " What is it Rin?"

"Rin made Sesshoumaru- sama look pretty with the gifts you gave Rin!" She grabbing the Miko's hand and tugged on it a few times. "Come See!"

'Oh no. What did she do this time?' Kagome just laughed, while getting up. "All Right, all right."

Rin had dragged her to see her 'pretty Sesshoumaru', and Kagome gasped at the sight of him. 'He looks like a primped poodle that's seen better days.'

He sat there with his arms crossed, and his hair in one of the most 'interesting' styles she had seen. On top of the left side of his head, held Rin's favorite side ponytail tied with a yellow and pink spotted ribbon. Beneath that was a layer of looped hair, that went all around the bottom side of his head, held together with various colored ribbons. Below them a few stray wisps of hair hung down his back that had manage to escape the child's grasp. Last part of the style hung thick clump of hair in front of each pointed ear, tied at the ends with red ribbons.  Even his poor Mokomoko had not escaped the ribbon-y torture, and had them tied in various places throughout the dense fur.

Rin stared on dreamily, and sighed, " Doesn't it look beautiful..?"

The Miko wondered what she was thinking. 'Maybe for a deranged version of a Christmas tree. Poor Fluffly.' She giggled. "Yes Rin, very nice."  Sesshoumaru for his part looked like he wanted to die. She caved in when he sent her a slightly pleading look. "Hey Rin..." Kagome voice sang out in mischief.

Rin quickly tore her eyes away from her masterpiece to give the woman her full attention.

"Don't you think Jaken is missing out? I'm sure he's appreciate the wonders of your work."

A huge open smile broke on Rin's face in delight. "You're right!"  She turned and quickly spotted the green blob in a field leaning against Au and An, and ran off. "JAKEN~SAMA! Rin is going to make you pretty!"

Kagome heard a terrified squawk and could only grin maliciously. Turning her attention back to her hair tied friend. " I think it's safe to remove them. Do you want help?" He just scowled at her, and turned his head, which she took as a 'yes.' Kneeling down she started to remove the loops. "I must say, she is very creative."

"This is your fault woman. Your gifts cause nothing but trouble for this Sesshoumaru." He grumbled.

She grinned though he couldn't see it, as she was behind him working on a particularly tough knot. "You know I could bring back other things for her that are far worse." She felt him tense beneath her.

He tried to keep the tension out of his voice. " Like what?"

Her grinned depended. "Just things." She sang out, making him shuddered. "So, don't tempt me."

He felt the urge to growl at the threat, but knew better. The fact that she could inflict torment on him via Rin, made Kagome all the more terrifying.
