She knew it was disrespectful what she was doing, but she could not help it.

Come on, it was not often, no, in fact this was the first and only time Sesshomaru had ever done this in her present.

Sesshomaru was taking a bath!

Of course, a bath is not that big of a deal, but when it came to the great demon lord, Sesshomaru, it was! This might be the only chance she had.

Rin inched closer towards the hot spring, a fence of green bushes were blocking the view of the secluded area. She swallowed the thick lump that formed inside her throat.

This is unacceptable! She should not be doing this; she tried to talk herself out.

She had never been this daring and… naughty.

But it was already too late!

The moment her eyes laid on her target, all reasons were thrown out the window. The sight was too tempting. She couldn't make herself turn away even though she wanted to. Rin didn't care anymore.

Sesshomaru would not be pleased, she told herself. He might even be enraged, she knew, but she still wanted to take her chance. She just wanted to get closer and… touched.

Sesshomaru who sat peacefully inside the clouded, white, water, hot spring, his eyes closed, sensed Rin's approached not too far from behind his back. He could not help but wondered why she would be there when he had clearly told her to stay clear of this area.

Normally, he would take a bath only when he was completely alone, but it could not be help this time.

Jaken, with Ah-Un, went to take care of some random business for him and would not be back for days. Sesshomaru could not go without bathing for that long. But he could not take the risk of leaving Rin alone unprotected. So he was left with no choice but to take the bath while she was in a close enough perimeters; far from eyes to see, but could easily be heard.

But why did he felt her present so close by?

Yet, he did not open his eyes or intent to investigate.

Rin knew Sesshomaru knew she was nearby. Nothing could escape his supper sharp demon sense, but she didn't care.

Rin was getting closer.

Each step made her heart pounded.

She just wanted to touch, to caress, to embrace, and let her hands felt the heavenly texture of her target; so beautiful, endearing and perfect. Even if Sesshomaru were very angry, it would be all worth it. As she had said before, this might be her only chance.

She took one step after another, each second felt like hours, but she kept on moving. Finally, she knelled beside her target. Her heart was pounding so loudly she thought Sesshomaru would have no problem hearing it from here he was.

Holding in her breath, she lifted her shaky hand, inching toward her goal.

Sesshomaru on other the hand was wondering why Rin had to be so sneaky and nervous. Her caution footsteps that normally would be as loud as a horse's hooks, told him she was up to something. So he listened intensely to her.

Then she touched it! The touch was as heavenly as she had imagined. She slowly let go of her breath. The biggest smile plastered on her face. She knew Sesshomaru was aware of her present and hoped he would not scorn her too badly. But since he hadn't move from the bath yet, to stop her, she kept on with her touching. She would enjoy herself a little longer. Just little longer. Or so she thought.

Sesshomaru however after listened to the girl's soft sigh and content moan, he raised an eyebrow in wondered. But since there was no danger around, he let the girl be.

Some minutes later, he stood and wrapped himself up with the small towel he had brought with him to bath and walked out. He walked away from the shallow water, which was far too wide for his liking, toward the shore which was about twenty yard away, where his clothes were. After he walked past the bushes that had been providing him privacy, he found not only his clothes, but… Rin.

Sesshomaru stopped in his track.

Rin was cuddling snugly, wrapping his Momoko around her, fast asleep. His neat pile of clothes sat beside the eight-year-old child.

He should've known the girl wanted to touch his fur.

How dare she touch his fur?!

Not only touched, but wrapping it around herself as if she owned it!

He now knew why she had been so sneaky before. Because he would never allow the child to play with his Mokomoko as she pleased.

He should be angry, yet he couldn't.

With his inhuman speed, he ran pasted her in a blur, took his clothes before she woke up to see his indecent state. After full dressed, he came back to retreat his Mokomoko. However, the peaceful and happy looking face on the sleeping child made him… unable to disturb her.

But he would not stay here waiting for her to wake up nor would he leave her alone unprotected.

He sighed inwardly before he attached his Mokomoko to himself, carefully and gently lifted it over his right shoulder, with the child still wrapped snugly inside it, and walked away.

Review?

I don't know if this one make much sense and I'm not sure if Mokomoko is his tail or just fur because it's alive. Anyway, I hope it's a good read ^^

As always, thanks for reviews, follows, favorites, and the read :D

Taraah36: Lol, I wonder how he would answer if that were ever happen. XDD

Icegirljenni: XDDD Tissue?

Smpt: Lol, I know. It's seems impossible to do such thing when he doesn't even eat in front of others.
