My Little Doll

Summary-

While playing near a river, Rin stumbles upon a doll that looks just like her Lord. Sesshomaru finds Kagome as she searches for a treasured item that she has lost. When Sesshomaru returns the lost item to Kagome, the dynamic between the two groups change and Sesshomaru allows himself the privilege of dropping his mask just a little.

Chapter one- Lost and Found

Rin giggled as she flew through the air and landed in the shallow end of the river with a decent sized splash for a young girl her size. Rin kicked her little legs sending water up in the air with them, she laughed as the little droplets of water found their way onto her face and hair. She loved when the weather was warm allowing the flowers she loved so much to blossom and her to be allowed to play in the water like this. Rin ran and jumped landing in the water, sliding a few feet before coming to a wobbly stop.

The snow had melted a few weeks ago allowing her Lord and father figure to deem it warm enough for her to leave the castle and continue traveling with him again. Rin stretched and tilted her head towards the warm sun. She loved traveling with her Lord, seeing the land, learning new things and just being with him. But what she really loved the most was when he allowed them to cross paths with Lady Kagome's group.

Rin giggled and twirled, sending little splashes of water with her. She loved being able to play with Shippo and learning new games. She also loved spending time with Lady Kagome. Lady Kagome was really nice and sweet and smart. Whenever they would cross paths with Lady Kagome's group, Rin always liked to pretend that Lady Kagome was her Mamma.

Rin was pulled out of her thoughts by something gently hitting her leg. She looked down, half expecting to see a fish, only to see something white. Curious as a pup, Rin bent down and gently picked up the white item. The item had long silver hair and a soft white haori with red and white honeycomb patterns over the shoulders and on the bottom of the sleeves, reminding Rin of her Lords haori, and soft white hakamas.

Rin turned the item over and gasped in shocked delight when she found herself staring to golden eyes so much like her Lord's. Rin's chocolate brown eyes roamed over the item, her eyes landing on the blue crescent moon on the items forehead and the two maroon strips on each of the item's cheeks. It didn't take long for Rin's young eight year old mind to realize she was holding a doll in her hand. A doll that looked exactly like her Lord.

Excitement flooded through her little body at her discovery. She turned and ran from the river to where her Lord was sitting against a tree. Though his golden eyes were closed as if in rest, Rin knew that he was not, that he was alert. The second that her tiny body came within five feet from his larger one, his eyes opened.

"Lord Sesshomaru, look what Rin has found." Rin said as she proudly showing him her find. His eyes slipped from her face to the little doll in her small hands. His cold eyes roaming the doll, eyes focusing on the fact that the little doll resembled his likeness.

"Where did you get that, Rin?" Sesshomaru asked his voice cold and sharp, though that didn't faze the little girl that he had come to see as his pup. Sesshomaru breathed in, trying to scent where the doll had come from, but all Sesshomaru could scent was the salt from the river. Wherever that doll had come from, the water had washed all scent traces from it.

"Rin found it floating in the river as she played." Rin informed her Lord with a lopsided grin. "May Rin keep the doll, she likes that it resembles her Lord." Sesshomaru held out his hand silently demanding the doll and Rin obediently placed it in his clawed hand. Once the doll was in his hand, he wrapped his claws around it, securing it, before lifting it closer to his eyes so that he could inspect it even more.

Whoever had made this doll, Sesshomaru noted, did so skillfully and with care. Every stitch seemed to be in it's rightful place, the fabrics used to create it's haori and hakamas were of very fine quality, similar to the fabrics used to create his haori and hakamas. The doll's eyes were made of glass-like substance that caught the light in a way that made them look as if they were glowing from the inside out. The doll's hair was soft and a similar in color to his, Sesshomaru brought some of the doll's hair to his nose and breathed in. The hair looked and felt real, but it was not.

Shuffling from the young human pup by his side brought Sesshomaru's attention from the doll in his hand to his human pup. He looked at her, she was anxious, nervous, and hopeful. He would allow her to have the doll for now, but should they find the true owner of the doll, he would force them to create another doll for his human pup.

"Hn." Sesshomaru grunted handing the doll back to his human pup feeling his beast purr in happiness at the happiness his human pup held on her face.

"Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru." Rin thanked him happily before bounding away towards the two headed dragon and the green toad demon to show off her new doll. The happiness in his human pup's aura assured that he would be forcing the creator to make another doll. "Master Jaken, look at Rin's new doll. Lord Sesshomaru let her have it. Doesn't it look exactly like Lord Sesshomaru?"

"Silence you foolish girl, that looks nothing like the handsome, charming, and magnificent Lord Sesshomaru." Jaken squawked causing the harsh scent of anger to flood through Rin's aura.

"It does too look like Lord Sesshomaru." Rin said stomping her foot in agitation. Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes at the toad and went to throw a pebble at him for angering his human pup when the wind changed bringing with it the scent of the human miko, Kagome, that traveled with his half-breed half-brother and had caught Sesshomaru's attention.

Mate. His beast purred out pacing in his cage.

Without a word, Sesshomaru swiftly stood up and silently made his way towards Kagome's scent, it was full of worry and confusion. That bothered Sesshomaru, her scent should never be full of anything but happiness and content. He found her searching through bushes and the undergrowth and came to a stop just out side her view, watching her.

Since the first time he had seen her she had changed, she had stopped wearing that strange kimono and started wearing a beautiful traveling kimono that he was left in her strange yellow bag, that she constantly carried around with her, without her noticing. Her body had grown into one of a beautiful woman, her hair had grown to fall to her lower back. But it wasn't just physical changes she had gone through, but mental changes too.

"Oh, where is it?" He heard her mutter as her search continued coming closer to him. "Oh, Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome cried softly as she saw him.

"Kagome." Sesshomaru said, his deep voice causing Kagome's cheeks to heat up. At seeing her blush, Sesshomaru's beast purred and pushed against his cage in an attempt to get closer to the one he claimed as his. Sesshomaru glanced around subtly scenting the area for his half-brother's scent, a scent that was usually not far from Kagome. There were rare moments when the half-breed was no where to be seen, Sesshomaru hoped this would be one of those times.

Movement to his left brought his attention back to Kagome to find her search had continued. Sesshomaru tilted his head slightly in confusion, wondering what was so important that she would all but ignore him to look for it. The thought that she was ignoring him caused his beast to growl in anger, his bitch should never ignore him.

"I assume that if you are here, then the half-breed is not far off." Sesshomaru said his attention focused solely on Kagome who had paused in her search to glance at him.

"Inuyasha's not with me. I left without him knowing, though I assume that by now he knows." Kagome informed Sesshomaru as she brushed her hair behind her ear unknowingly baring her unmarked shoulder. Sesshomaru bit back a possessive growl and stopped himself from pulling her to him and marking her as his.

"You are in search of something." Sesshomaru started forcing his eyes away from her shoulder to look into her sky blue eyes.

"Yes." Kagome confirmed as she continued looking.

"Something important." Sesshomaru said annoyed as she once again ignored him.

"Very." Kagome told him.

"What is it you have lost." Sesshomaru demanded, he would find this item for her so that she would not ignore him. He watched as Kagome's cheeks flushed that beautiful red that caused his beast to purr, this time he was not able to stop himself from reaching out and gently rested a clawed hand on her cheeks, deepening her blush. Kagome opened her mouth to answer him, only to be cut off by a shout.

"KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted as he shot out of the tress to land in between Kagome and Sesshomaru, facing Sesshomaru and shoving Kagome away from Sesshomaru. "Keep your filthy hands off her, asshole." Inuyasha growled and Sesshomaru's eyes narrowed his eyes in response. The rare moments Sesshomaru ever found time to be alone with Kagome were always interrupted by the half-breed.

"I grow tired of your interference." Sesshomaru drawled out, in response Inuyasha pulled out Tessaiga, unfazed Sesshomaru glanced over to Kagome who looked concerned yet annoyed at the same time. A growl from Inuyasha pulled Sesshomaru's attention back to the pissed off half-breed. "You're growling irritates this Sesshomaru, I shall shut you up once and for all today." Sesshomaru informed the boy as he cracked his knuckles, showing he was serious.

"Be careful Inuyasha!" Kagome called causing Sesshomaru's beast to become furious. His bitch should not be calling to anyone but him in battle.

"I grow impatient, prepare yourself." Was the only warning Sesshomaru gave Inuyasha before he rushed at Inuyasha.
