Just Like Sesshoumaru by Kittylin

Rin's New Puppy

This will be the first fanfiction I will have published. I am working on two others at the moment but this story was the least complicated and spontanious. It all started with one line in dragonball z. "He's just like Picaro. He only lets his quard down around Gohan." This set the wheels turning in my mind. I started out with a simple consept which has started to expand and become more complicated as I write. To write this story all I have done is read what I had previously wrote and once I'm done reading I keep on writing after that point. I have a couple more chapters already writen which I will be adding soon. This story isn't going to be that long but at the moment I'm really not sure of the lenght.

Just Like Sesshoumaru

It hadn't been long after Sesshoumaru and Inu-Yasha had joined forces in their quest for revenge on Naraku that he was defeated for good. But in the process. The jewel was shattered again in the final battle. So the groups were still stuck traveling together.

"Rin! Don't go too far." Yelled an irate Jaken from the edge of the tree line to his Lord's ward who had just disappeared within.

Rin had been sent into the woods to gather some mushrooms for the stew Kagome was making for their supper.

He received no response...

"Rin are you even listening to me?!"

...For Rin had already wondered out of hearing range.

'Oh no, Sesshoumaru's going to kill me. Or at least maim me.'

Rin was of course oblivious to Jaken's worries and was concentrating on her mission to find the perfect mushrooms for the prettiest, nicest, best-est miko in the world. Not noticing how far she had wondered from the watchful eyes of her care taker in her Lords absence. Keeping her eyes locked on the forest floor for her prize.

"Oh, where are they? I know I saw some not to far in this direction yesterday. Mushrooms can't just get up and walk away on their own." Rin asked herself just before she spotted some under a tree a short distance ahead. She bolted and attempted to pick as many mushrooms as quickly as possible. 'Can't keep Lady Kagome waiting.'

She almost had a big enough pile when she heard a bush shake a few feet to the left of her. finally snapping her out of the mushroom haze she had been in earlier. Causing Rin to realize her situation. She was all alone and without her Lord Sesshoumaru or Jaken; in the middle of a demon infested woods with no protection. The bush shook again making Rin nervous. 'I don't want to be eaten'

"Whoever's their better leave now if they know what's good for them! Or my lord Sesshoumaru's going to kick... ump" Rin had begun to warn the demon off only to be cut off when she was jumped and nocked to the ground by a big white dog.

Rin was too shocked for words. Not noticing she had been released from the dogs hold when it had gotten off of her to eat the conveniently placed pile of mushrooms off to the side. The dog looked almost exactly like her Lord Sesshoumaru in his true form but a lot smaller and instead of red eyes it had the normal gold. Snapping out of her shock when she heard the smacking of lips.

"No! Stop! Those are for Kagomes stew." Rin yelled while trying to pull the humongous dog away from her prize by wrapping both her arms around it's neck and pulling back with all her mite. Realizing after a couple of pulls that he wasn't going to stop unless he wanted too.

She let go and stomped to the front of the dog and poked it right on the nose. *Yip*

The dog raised its head while looking crossed eyed at his nose. Finally setting its sights on the little girl he had jumped earlier and forgotten about.

"Bad dog!" Rin berated the dog. Emphasizing each word with a poke of her finger to its nose. "Those...are... not... for... you." Rin put both her hands on her hips and tried to imitate her Lord's death stare. It wouldn't have worked on a person but it seemed to have the same effect her Lord's did on this dog.

It started to whimper and look defeated.

Rin tried to keep her angry front but when it gave her the puppy dog eyes. Her front instantly crumpled. "I forgive you." Said the defeated Rin. The dog instantly became happy and licked her right across the face. "Eww."

She started to pat the dog on the head. "Rin guess' it was you in the bushes earlier wasn't it?" In all the commotion she had almost forgotten about it.

The dog paused and looked at her with a confused face while Rin froze when she realized the bush was still shaking. She looked at the dog in front of her and the still shaking bush behind and put two and two together. "It your not in the bush then there must be a... demon!"

Getting out of the way just in time before a lower level demon's claws could rip into them. Rin backed up into a tree while the strange dog took up a defensive stance in front of her and started to growl and bare its teeth at the threat.

The demon started to move towards them but didn't make it too far before the dog pounced at it's neck; snapping it and killing the demon. The dog attempted wipe the blood from his face off in the grass, not wanting to scare the girl. Once it's face was clean the it moved towards the scared girl who still had her hands covering her face and nudged her leg.

"Is it over?"

Rin asked while peeking through her fingers and surveying the area. After spotting the slayed demon she threw her arms around the dog and hugged it tight.

"Oh thank you. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't here."

Rin started to run her fingers through it's fur. 'Oh, he's so soft and fluffy. I wonder if this is what Lord Sesshoumaru's fur feels like in his true form?'

"Do you have a home?" The dog shook its head and looked down. "Do you want to come with me." It pounced her again and licked her face. "Rin'll take that as a yes." She released the dog from her hug so it could roll off of her and sit up.

"Now I just need to give you a name." Rin looked question-ly at the dog. Knowing her first impulse wouldn't be right. "I know. How bout fluffy because your fur is, just so fluffy." The dog licked her again.

As Rin was greeting her new dog the bush began to shake. "Oh no, not again." Rin said as she hugged Fluffy closer to her. She waited anxiously to see what would emerge next.

It shook one last time before Jaken stumbled out mumbling about 'stupid, human children; who always wonder off on his watch and risk forfeiting his life by his Lord if anything happened to them'.

Rin let out a breath she hadn't realize she had been holding and loosened her grip on Fluffy's neck before she ended up strangling him. "Master Jaken you found me!" Rin yelled enthusiastically. Causing Jaken to pause in his rant.

Jaken was thinking 'thank god you're ok' but what came out his mouth was something completely different.

"Rin you stupid girl what have I told about wondering off." When his only response was a low growl that he could feel rumble in his chest Jaken finally turned to look in the direction Rins voice had come from.

"Aw! Rin what are you doing with that monstrosity? Get away from it right, now! we have to get back to camp before my Lord returns."

"But he's my new puppy. And besides I think he looks like Lord Sesshoumaru".

Jaken took a moment to observe the beast before continuing his complete refusal. It's true if it wasn't for the size of the dog he would have sworn it was his lord himself. It had the same coloured fur and length. The same curled tail and floppy ears. The fur around its neck was even so fluffy compared to the rest of his body that it resembled his Lord's boa.

"You can't take a dog with you it's too dangerous for it."

"But he saved my life. I think Fluffy can defend himself" Rin pointed in the direction of the slayed demon. Jaken almost had a heart attack. 'That was a close one.'

"Wait, did you just call that monstrosity, Fluffy. "

"Yep." Rin responded oblivious to the wrongness of that name for such a big dog.

"What type of a name is that for a dog that could take out a demon."

"Can I keep it?"

Jaken had to think about it. It seemed to him the girl had already become attached. 'She has already named it. I know! I'll let my Lord decide so I don't have to be the bad guy. Even if he does say no she still wouldn't be upset at him anyways.'

"You can keep him..." Rin was just about to jump up in celebration when Jaken finished his sentence. "...If you can get Lord Sesshoumaru to agree."

"Ok." Before he knew it Rin had gathered her mushrooms, told the dog to follow her, and was out of sight. 'I lost her. Again.' Jaken slowly walked back in the direction of camp and the way Rin had disappeared in.
