Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine. Period.
Thanks to all my reviewers! Without you, I would not have even completed this chapter! So, I want to give special thanks to S saiyan Vegeta4013, shikome kido mi, Yukina, Sho Tsuzuku, drake, Ali, Bonnie Yang, my cousin Ashley, and xfantasyx. Thanks so much!
Note: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews! I thought I was only going to get one, but I got 10! Yeah, now I have lots of motivation! Sometimes I switch from the Japanese terms to the American ones, so I apologize for that ahead of time. Also, I have been watching my Inuyasha tapes over and over again to try to understand Sesshoumaru's character. From my little homework assignment, I realized that Sesshoumaru is not as cold hearted as many authors portray him. If you watch the episode where he resurrects Rin (including the one before it), he shows more emotion than usual and actually seems to have a slight sense of humor. He actually smiles and takes time to throw rocks at Jaken when the ugly toad is behaving stupidly (lol I would too). One more thing, Rin might be a little OOC now and then because I haven't seen or read much about her. I am basing her character on the impression I received from reading many fics with her in it. It would be nice if I got some tips on her character *hint hint*.
Remains of What is Burned
Kikyo watched the little girl in awe. Never had she seen a being with such enthusiasm. The young one didn't even seem to mind the fact that her only companions were a demon lord, a despicable toad demon, and for the time being, an undead priestess.
"Does Kikyo not want to pick any flowers?" Rin stated in a sad voice while looking at Kikyo's feet.
The priestess laughed a little, stood up, and walked in the direction of the young girl.
"I do want to pick flowers with you Rin, I'm just thinking"
The girl shuffled her feet about and asked, "What is Kikyo thinking about?" She smiled warmly at the young girl who was beginning to grow on her. She was too cute to dislike! "Nothing of any importance, don't worry about it at all, let's gather some more flowers to..."
"Bring to Sesshoumaru!!" Rin yelled enthusiastically, throwing her hands and unfortunately her mini-bouquet up into the air.
The priestess stifled a chuckle and helped Rin grab the flowers that were gently floating down towards the ground.
"That can wait awhile, let's try to pick these up..."
**************************************************************************** **
Sesshoumaru watched Rin and the priestess attempt to catch the flowers that were caught in the wind. He was aware of the fact that the creature was not comfortable "picking" flowers for him, he wouldn't be if in her position. Sesshoumaru smiled slightly, as Jaken had once said, his resume was one long death wish.
He sat within the shadows near a tree, for the purpose of watching over Rin. He had joined forces with the undead priestess Kikyo, but that did not mean that he had complete trust in her. Sesshoumaru did not think she would harm the girl, but precaution measures where necessary.
He had observed how the priestess would almost change personalities when speaking with Rin. To him, she was cold, distant, almost unpredictable. Her conduct varied from time to time, making it virtually impossible to predict what she would say or do next. Even in the short amount of time they had spent together, the complex creature never ceased to amaze him in the process of her actions.
Kikyo acknowledged his presence by the simple turn of her head and the meeting of their eyes. In her he saw a depth of desolation that had been dug too deep to ever be rooted out, and it fascinated him. The only person whose eyes had ever came close to such dejection was that of his mother's. The female demon had been forgotten of when the human wench stepped into his father's life.
Kikyo had sensed the demon Lord's proximity long before she and Rin had begun picking flowers, but paid him no mind. When she had finally turned to his direction, he appeared to be in deep contemplation, with a thoughtful look on his face (which had surprised her). When Sesshoumaru finally looked to her, he got up and walked away.
She sighed and continued to help Rin, who had found a found another flower.
"Look Kikyo!" the little girl exclaimed holding up her flower in her hands, "This flower reminds Rin of Sesshoumaru!"
"This daisy reminds you of Sesshoumaru?" questioned Kikyo as she took the flower in her hand.
"Yes, doesn't Kikyo see it?" Rin began. "It has white and yellow, just like Sesshoumaru's hair and eyes!"
Kikyo smiled, "Let's put this one in the group too."
**************************************************************************** **
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin yelled, "Where are you? Rin and Kikyo are looking for you!"
Kikyo led Rin into the area where she had met the trio before and was greeted by a not-so-happy Jaken and a silent Sesshoumaru.
"Look Sesshoumaru!" Rin began while shoving her bouquet into Sesshoumaru's hands, "Look at the pretty flowers Kikyo helped Rin pick! And they are all for Sesshoumaru!"
The one daisy fell from the group, landing near Kikyo's feet. She picked it up and held it close.

Note: Yeah I know, it was sappy and boring, but I need some character development, right? Can I get at least 5-10 reviews before the next chapter? It would be nice and it would get me to update faster...
