AN: This next chapter is brought to you by Madame-Chevre Goat�s Milk Feta Cheese. Oh, and as a personal tribute to Greaterbeast-Xellas, of course. My ears were not deaf to her pleas for more Jaken/Rin sexiness.

Greaterbeast Xellas, feel the power of the staff of two heads!

Disclaimer: I don�t own Inuyasha.

Jaken scanned the mossy undergrowth of the forest glen, his sharp eyes recognizing and mentally categorizing many of the plant and fungi growing among the roots of a huge magnolia. His bulbous eyes narrowed and he sniffed slightly, I recall that the particular plant I am searching for has this same bitter scent, but I cannot seem to spot it here.

Jaken�s eyes were distracted for a moment by an insect passing along the edge of his vision. He swatted at the fly comically with his oversized staff, causing him to stumble, off-balanced by the weight of it, across the gnarled tree roots.

�Blast!� he swore, rubbing a stubbed toe and suddenly he spotted the bitter herb. Grasping it greedily between his thumb and forefinger, Jaken ripped it from soft earth and held it up to a band of sunlight to confirm its identity. For Rin, he thought eagerly.

Jaken had taken great care to steep the leaves for several hours to achieve full potency. He required a fairly potent dose, since he would not be able to utilize much of the bitter-tasting liquid in Rin�s soup without altering the taste overmuch. He watched her warily, his eyes narrow slits, as she tasted her soup daintily, and making certain it was not too hot to drink.

�Thank you for making something new for dinner, Master Jaken,� Rin said, her eyes cast downwards towards her soup and away from the imp.

�Think nothing of it, Rin,� Jaken replied evenly, trying to appear as normal as possible.

I cannot allow her to suspect anything, not after all that careful planning and preparation.

�Jaken�

The imp almost jumped at this address, lately Rin had hardly spoken at mealtimes. Once the adequate attempts at formalities were completed, Rin and Jaken generally ate without speaking, and at least on Rin�s part, without looking at one another.

�Yes, what is it,� Jaken answered with a gulp of his own soup, worried that she was about to reject her portion.

�I just wanted to say that I�m sorry about,� Rin trailed off here and left him to wonder which direction she might be going with this apology. Rin picked up her water cup and glanced over it at Jaken, her dark eyes seeming to shimmer in the light of the half-moon looming large and bright over the horizon. He was pinned beneath the weight of her gaze, and he felt as if he were held there like some sort of squirming bug in a child�s insect collection. �I�m sorry that we let things go so far the other evening,� she finally forced out, her voice sounding rehearsed and very unlike her normal vivacious self.

�Rin you don�t have anything to apologize�,� he was interrupted in mid-sentence by Rin�s terse reply.

�Yes I do, Jaken!.� As soon as the sharply spoken words had crossed her lips, Rin looked peevish. �I did not mean for it to come out like that,� Rin continued softly, taking another long sip of her soup, �it�s just, we both are to blame for what happened.�

�To blame? Rin, it is not as if we committed a crime.�

�But Lord Sesshoumaru,� Rin interjected.

�But nothing. Sesshoumaru-sama has not forbid either of us to engage in those activities. To concern himself with such deeds would certainly be below him,� Jaken explained imperiously, though his confidence was marred by a niggling doubt in the back of his mind, perhaps he would not concern himself with me, but Rin is another thing entirely.

�I suppose you are right,� Rin conceded, looking down again, but her tone belied the meaning.

�Do not say things unless you mean them, Rin.�

At this, Rin looked up, watery tears making her eyes shine even more brightly in the evening�s dull light.

�Rin�

�Jaken, don�t say anything. You are my friend. My best friend, in fact. You know me better than anyone, except perhaps,� Rin paused here.

�Sesshoumaru-sama,� Jaken completed for her, adding softly. �Yes, yes, I know.� Any further words he might have used to convince her or himself that should not feel regret died on his tongue at the despairing tone in her words. Closing his eyes, he sat there for a long while contemplating the emotions behind these simple words. Though he did not consider her shallow, it was not often that she expressed deeper emotions or allowed melancholy to overtake her naturally sunny disposition. At least outwardly, he reminded himself, since he was sure she had been hiding many things behind that tight smile she had been giving him of late.

Unable to sort out the mystery of her newly altered and volatile emotions, nor even his own, regarding their changed relationship, Jaken sighed and opened his eyes, preparing to offer some words of comfort.

Despite himself, what he saw came as a shock. Rin�s unconscious form was slumped over to the side, her knees still tucked underneath.

He sat there, unmoving, watching her sleep off the effects of the root.

-------

Ugh. What�s wrong with my head. It�s pounding.

Rin closed her eyes against the sunlight which seemed to be leaking through her eyelids and burning holes in her brain.

Ouch. I don�t remember sunlight being this painful.

She gave herself a little more time to adjust and gradually the pounding in her head subsided to a dull thudding. What was I doing last night, she wondered. Did I drink more sake? She tried to recall the events of the previous evening and could not remember any alcohol, only soup.

Soup, something tugged at her memory, Jaken had cooked a new type of soup. It had been strangely bitter, but she had deemed it impolite to say so, especially considering the newfound tension in their relationship. But there was something suspicious about his actions last night.

Jaken�s soup was always delicious, she suddenly realized, he was an excellent cook and would never hesitate to complain and berate himself if his food had not turned out well. But he had said nothing. Her suspicions were quickly being replaced by an angry feeling of betrayal.

�Jaken!� She screamed out and opened her eyes, finding the subject of her wrath sitting directly in front of her.

�Hentai! What did you do to me!� Rin jumped up and angrily pointed a finger at the imp.

�Absolutely nothing, Rin�

His calm demeanor and simple words caught her off guard and her anger dissipated, replaced by confusion.

�What do you mean �nothing�? You gave me some sort of sleeping potion in my soup, did you not?�

�I mean that I did nothing while you slept,� he answered quietly. �It is shameful. I did give you the root, planning on having my way with you again.�

Rin�s mouth tightened into a thin, hard line at this statement, but Jaken only continued softly, �I could not bring myself to touch you, not against your will, without your consent. As you said last night, I also consider you as a friend. I am ashamed that I would have considered such a thing and ask only for your forgiveness, if you are able to forgive my lustful behavior.�

�Jaken,� Rin seemed to be contemplating something, �of course I can forgive you, but why would you do this to me?�

Jaken did not hesitate in answering, �After our intimacy, I have to say that I have wanted to experience this with you again. I may not be human, I may be an imp, but I am male. And also I kept hoping,� Jaken paused here, causing Rin to understand that his next words were not easily expressed. �I also, like you, miss our uncomplicated friendship. A part of me also wishes that things could have stayed as they were. I kept hoping that by our being intimate one more time, I could get it out of my system, so to speak, and we could forget it ever happened and things could once again return to normal between us.�

�I would hardly call your having your way with me while I was unconscious as our �being intimate�,� Rin cried, her voice now high-pitched with girlish indignation.

Jaken hung his head in silent agreement. �I�m sorry, Rin. I realize that I do not deserve your forgiveness.�

Rin tried to remain angry. She really did. However, the sight of Jaken looking so ashamed, his shoulders slumped so aberrantly in defeat, made her instead desire to reach out and comfort the dejected imp. He really is sorry. From what little I know of others, most men, or youkai, would not have hesitated at molesting me in my sleep. He really does care for me. He cannot really help his other feelings.

It was pleasurable, after all, for us both.

That thought interrupted Rin�s train of thoughts like a peal of thunder. This was exactly the kinds of thoughts which she had been trying to avoid. Jaken, though he was a friend, was an ugly green toad-like youkai and not at all appropriate as a lover. She was human. He was�what was he anyway?

This inner conversation � so similar to many which she had held over the past week - was leaving her feeling vaguely guilty. She simply did not feel it was noble to base her rejecting Jaken based on this excuse alone. She felt shallow for rejecting her good friend�s advances because his appearance was repulsive to many. She should be good-hearted enough to overlook this. His ugliness was not his fault. Outward appearances should not be of utmost importance in judging others.

Rin recalled a vaguely remembered event from early childhood that seemed to have some loose relevance on her current state of mind.

�Rin, Riiiin, where are you child.�

Rin could hear her mother crying out across the village and quickened her pace, her short legs churning across the dusty path. �Mama, I�m coming.�

�Child, where have you been? It�s almost time for dinner,� her mother chided, bending over to wipe her daughter�s face clean of grime and dust. Her mother�s smile let her know that, despite her words, she was not angry with her.

�I�ve been playing with Yuri, Mama. He gave me a ride on his back around the village. It was like riding a mountain. He�s so tall.� Rin raised her arms high for emphasis and her enthusiasm was only dampened when she noticed her mother�s expression harden.

�You should stay away from Yuri. He was cursed from birth with that hideous face of his and the village dogs are far more intelligent than he. I don�t want him touching you, my precious Rin.� Her mother stroked her cheek, her face softening once again.

�But Mama, I don�t think he is ugly, no matter what the other kids say. And he�s nice to me. I want to marry him when I grow up.�

�Rin, do not speak of such things.� This time, her mother�s face matched the sharpness of her words. �You will do no such thing. Now come inside this instant!�

Rin was brought out of her reverie by Jaken�s sudden movement to stand and leave. He was careful to keep his expression blank, she could tell, but she knew that her words had hurt him. Her heart aching with regret, Rin reached out and caught his shoulder, tugging him back and cradling him against her belly. �Jaken, I do forgive you. If it means that much to you,� she hesitated her, almost losing her nerve, �our being together again, then what could it hurt for us to�again.� Rin blushed a deep red, unable to articulate the words.

Jaken turned his head and stared up into her eyes, as if searching for something, his expression inscrutable. She wondered what he must be thinking. Likely that I am crazy. Finally, he offered her his hand and they both walked together towards her sleeping chambers.

----------

One week later, Rin did not exactly regret her actions of that morning, but she did not know what to feel. Their intimacy had been as gratifying as the first time, however it did nothing to further the purpose of making either of them forget those very feelings. Instead, it seemed to fan the very flames she had hoped to extinguish that morning. I should have known better, but it had seemed a reasonable thing to do at the time.

Jaken was always after her now�walking too closely at her side, touching her too often, watching her movements with a none-too-casual eye. Once, when she was bent over on the floor scrubbing the skins off of a wild vegetable he had foraged for her, Jaken had come up behind her and wrapped his arms around her thin waist, pressing himself against her boldly. This evening, he had materialized directly behind her as she had been reading a scroll from their library by candlelight and she could feel his hot breath across the shell of her ear.

�Jaken. No. Leave me be while I am reading.�

At this admonishment, he had quickly scampered off.

But there had been several times when she had purposefully stretched her bare legs out sensually from under the folds of her kimono when she had know he was near, or flirtatiously fingered her hair if she caught him staring. No, she was not an innocent player in this little game of theirs. Nor had she been able to resist all of his advances. One evening, as they lay under the stars together, a childish game of tickling had turned into a less-than-innocent chance to fondle and roll around on the springy grass together. One thing had led to another and they made love yet again under the stars. Another time, yesterday evening, she had allowed him into her room.

Jaken�s breathing was labored as he pounded himself into of her wetness with surprising force. Normally, Rin lay there, silent and still, during this later part of their lovemaking, simultaneously slightly ashamed and fascinated as she waited for him to finish his animalistic thrusting.

�Rin,� he wheezed, barely able to articulate the words through his fervor, �touch yourself.�

�What, what are you saying?� Rin was mortified. Was he implying that she should�

�Yes,� he ordered through gritted teeth. His normally cultured voice was hardly recognizable, the speech sounded ragged and harsh, �touch yourself like I touch you. Do it Rin� He shoved her hand downwards and held it there, still pumping her furiously.

Rin brushed her fingers experimentally across the soft curls of her privates. Jaken forced her hand to press harder against it, and she gasped in pleasure. Feeling around, she began rubbing gently, then a little more firmly at a hardened nub she found there.

�Mmmmm,� she cried, grinding harder against her hand. At this, Jaken let out a yelping cry and slammed into her from behind one more time. She felt the warmth of his semen spread through her and her fingers were now circling the nub furiously.

She threw her head back, shaking with pleasure as she reached climax for the sixth time that evening.

Or was it the seventh, she couldn�t remember.

Rin sighed at the memory. Should she worried that she would be �ruined� for life by this experience, that as a result, that now only Jaken or other short, green youkai would be able to sexually excite her. Or, perhaps she would begin to think of her own kind as �ugly� and unappealing.

Rin giggled a little at her own silly thoughts and made her way to bed.

---------

The next morning, Jaken was silent and aloof. There was no more ogling, no more sly advances. Rin thought that perhaps he was not feeling well and dismissed it. By late afternoon, his behavior had not altered. He would not look at her either, even when she tried to catch his eye as they completed their adopted daily chores of cleaning, maintaining the gardens, and preparing food.

Perhaps this is a game meant to force me to seek him out, Rin thought quizzically. I will play along then. Rin stood up from her gardening and approached the imp, who was standing and gazing towards the forest. She placed her hands on his shoulders and whispered in his ear, �Lazy Jaken, what�s wrong?�

Jaken jerked away from her grasp, surprising her. She pulled her hands back into little fists against her chest, feeling both rejected and curious at the same time.

�Jaken, why are you acting so strangely?�

Jaken took a couple of steps away from her, confusing her further. He did not speak for a long moment, but then she heard him softly mutter, �Sesshoumaru-sama.�

Sesshoumaru-sama. The name circled in her mind. Her Sesshoumaru-sama, he was coming. And she was�.Rin immediately darted off in the direction of the nearby hot springs.

She sat in the spring until she was a wizened as a prune, scrubbing and washing her water- logged hair and body until her skin felt raw and sensitive.

---------

The next morning Jaken and Rin stood, side by side, watching the forest quietly together.

�He will be arriving shortly,� Jaken stated, breaking their strained silence.

�Hm.�

Rin felt both nervous and giddy. She had been thinking of Sesshoumaru-sama less and less in the past few weeks, being, as the two of them were, preoccupied with something else. However, since the mention of his name the previous evening, she had grown increasingly excited over his impending arrival; her thoughts taking on the familiar hero-worship quality which they had possessed for so long.

She saw a flash of light in between the trees and Rin held her breath. He�s finally here.

Within seconds, he stood before them, his pure white hair and hoari billowing in the wind and his golden eyes brilliant yet impassive in the morning sunlight. A few steps forward and he was directly in front of the two, towering over them. Rin could almost touch a strand of his silvery hair which brushed past her.

�Sesshoumaru-sama, milord, you have finally returned. Oh how we have missed you these many months,� Jaken began to gush. Rin glanced over at him and saw a nearly blank, adoring look in his bulbous eyes. She wondered if her own eyes held the same expression, but all thoughts were wiped clear of her mind when he turned his eyes to her.

Those beautiful golden eyes. Her Sesshoumaru-sama.

Rin did not know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt as if she were drowning in the color of those jewel-like irises. Suddenly, she felt herself lurching forward and without any consciously forethought, she had wrapped her arms tightly around the inu-youkai.

�Sesshoumaru-sama, thank you for coming back for your Rin.�

AN: Whew-wee! That was tough, and it was all thanks to you, Greaterbeast_Xellas beast-ie. Now if you don�t mind, I�m going to try and think about sex. Normal sex. Not animal sex. Not Jaken sex. Not even midget sex. Just normal sex. I think I�ll try and find a sex fic to read on AFF now. I�m worried that I�ll be permanently scarred after this chapter. Please Don�t enjoy this and make me write more. Hate it! Hate it! I beg you!
