Let It Snow!</u>

*queue music*


The weather outside is frightful

      Sesshomaru shivered as he peered outside at the white that blanketed the earth in its cold grip, he wondered if in fact this happened everywhere.  The thoughts quickly vanished though as Rin pouted at Jakken having lost another of her treasures, this time however, he joined in the search for the lost item only to help recover it for the time being.  He sighed slightly as she finally recovered it.   A slight shiver as the cold seeped in from a nearby opening; he lifted the small child and walked back to the main room.

But the fire is so delightful

      Finally he stopped placing the young girl in front of the warm fire.
“It’s so cold out Lord Sesshomaru-sama,” She spoke so softly he almost couldn’t hear.  All he could do was nod and try to keep from smiling, he was yukai after all and he was one of the most stubborn, born to be feared by all, even humans, yet this one human did not fear him.

And since we’ve no place to go

      Sesshomaru settled down on a comfortable chair, placing both hands so that none could view his face in his confusion wondering still why Rin stayed and why he, in the most fatherly way, protected her, almost like a loyal dog, he mused.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

      He paused to look outside once more at the endless torrent that cascaded down remembering how, he, Sesshomaru, had quickly changed pace back to the castle noticing the change in wind and oncoming onslaught of winter’s wrath, and then only allowing Rin outside when warmly dressed and only when the snow had stopped falling so harshly.  As with earlier they had ventured out for some fresh air.  For Rin however, fun was more her style, he smiled slightly as he remembered the snow ball fight between her and Jakken when a stray white ball slapped into him.  Both had stopped their “fun” as they watched, Sesshomaru gathered up some snow and gave it a gentle toss.  It hit Rin; her eyes grew wide and looked as though she might cry.
      “Sesshomaru-sama” she whined plaintively, he was about to go to her aid when both of them suddenly pelted him with as many snowballs they could make, as they made them.   Until he at last surrendered and proved he was finished “playing”.

Well, it doesn’t show signs of stopping

      He was too suddenly pulled away from his memories by a small tug on his clothing; he looked down into the distraught youngsters face overcome with worry, he leaned forward moving his hands from his face and gave Rin his full attention.   “Are you alright, Rin?” He asked, his gaze not faltering in the slightest.
      “Sesshomaru-sama I’m hungry,” He smiled slightly before calling one of the servant’s, which one promptly appeared.
      “Yes Lord Sesshomaru?”
      “Prepare something for Rin to eat.”
      “Aye, my Lord,” And with that, the servant, disappeared.

But we’ve got some corn for popping

      It wasn’t long before the servant returned with something edible for the young child.  He watched her as she ate glad that she was indeed eating and apparently very comfortable despite being surrounded by demons.   She ate so slowly almost enjoying it, it looked to be chicken and rice this time with a bit of chow mien on the side, chow mien, he thought, holding onto the arm of the chair.   Almost falling asleep until the young girl climbed up next to him curling up in a seemingly uncomfortable position and fall into the land where dreams are made.  Jakken walked in, causing Sesshomaru to roll his eyes slightly.   He did not need the toad’s two cents at this time, the western Lord stood lifting Rin up with him, careful not to wake her.
      “Ah…Sesshomaru-sama…?” Jakken asked slightly confused by the action, no reply came.

And the lights are turned way down low, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

      The halls were dark lit only by candles enchanted to give off the smell of blooming wildflowers in the midst of spring’s celebration.   The calming scent drove away most of the thoughts for the time being allowing Sesshomaru to almost, completely relax, the smell reminded him of a meadow where he and his father talked for hours.   Not only had they talked but they trained as well in that same meadow the smells relaxing the muscles and allowing the body to move freely, like liquid.  
      Each window allowed a slight view of the chaos outside, not a single change, as of yet, and seemed determined not to change.

When we finally kiss goodnight

      Sesshomaru gently placed Rin in her bed and kissed her forehead, a habit he had picked up from the first few times he had carried her to the room she stayed in within the castle, he sighed, watching as peacefulness covering the youngster’s face.   A long time passed before he stood taking a slight glance of the room knowing she would soon need wood for the fire in the fireplace in her room soon, to ensure her a warm night’s sleep

How I hate going out in the storm,

      He looked outside again and shivered, silently hoping that there was enough wood left in the castle so that he would not have to venture outside and leave the poor child in the castle to worry endlessly about the time he would return to her.  He decided it might be best to check now while it was on his mind fresh and new.

But as long as you hold me tight

      Rin woke up as he was about to leave, and whispered “Sess…” He was at her side in a moment; she opened her arms, as if asking for a hug and he, unable to resist, Obliged.

Oh, all the way home I’ll be warm

      A warm feeling spread through him and made him slightly happy, safety and comfort also came with the happiness mingled together in a strange sort of jumble that kept him from saying anything, what made this Sesshomaru change so? He wondered.   Surely it was not the Young girl in his arms, no human could change a yukai’s entire world, could they?    The answer would undeniably put him in a great lapse of denial, of course.   He released her then allowing her to fall back into the softness of her bedding.

The fire is slowly dying

       He looked to the fire and thought again about wood to feed the slowly dieing fire, Rin looked to Sesshomaru questioningly now worrying slightly, he allowed a smile to show calming the child for now.  So much work, he realized suddenly, Children!    He sighed inwardly and closed his eyes before heading out and towards the storage room.
      “I’m sorry, Sesshomaru-sama, its empty.” She winced when he turned to her.  He “hmm”ed as though wasn’t of all that much importance, causing her to look up in surprise and “awe”.   He walked out and began to head for the front-most room of the castle.
      “it’s not all your fault,”  He chuckled now thinking of his mate, sure, Sesshomaru, let’s go “fetch” some firewood.   He told himself; soon she’ll have me “sitting” at her will!   His brow furrowed in irritation at the turn his thoughts had taken.

But my dear we’re still goodbye-ing

      And there she stood a vision of wonder before his very eyes, standing at the door, the same female that waited up for him whenever he was gone too long, or at least she did try.   She turned as if sensing his presence and rushed into his arms a worried look on her face, he hated worrying her so much it pained him to that to her, he sighed and faced that look with a slight smile.
      “I’ll be back, m’dear,” he told her kissing her lips tenderly, not going for the soft inside knowing Rin was watching the slight exchange, the young one tugged at his clothing.  He pulled her up for a group hug before handing her to his mate. “Make sure she gets to sleep aye?”
      “Aye, Dear that I will.”
      “Come, Jakken.”
      “Coming, Lord Sesshomaru-sama,” the toad panicking only slightly before following his Lord to a nearby “shed” housing many different tools and outside necessities, from which he tossed Jakken.

And as long as you love me so

As he walked, Sesshomaru, thought about his mate, she held and harbored so much love for him, love that he had thought he could not return until they had mated that is.  It had been so dark that night when he had found her wandering alone, sobbing hysterically, she had no intention of returning to her friends.   He had followed her, not knowing why until he had unintentionally gotten to close allowing her to run straight into him at full speed knocking him to the ground, he had been so angry. Until…. “I was looking for you, Sesshomaru-sama,” his heart had skipped a beat at her words totally taken aback.  His half-wit brother had abandoned her once again to be with that other woman.
      Anger flared within him at those thoughts of his half-brother power cracked at his fingertips forming a whip which he promptly used on a fair sized tree cutting so perfectly into firewood.  “Jakken,” he spoke, calming, his feelings under his control again.
      “Yes Lord Sesshomaru?”
      “bring the wood,” Jakken’s jaw dropped, but he complied as Sesshomaru turned and headed back towards the castle, indeed it was cold out, almost as cold as the Taiyoukai.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
