A loud sound of smashing glass could be heard from down the hall.  A startled shriek and what sounded like a shrill lecture came right after.  From his room, Sesshomaru heard the ruckus.  H rose from his bed, crossed the room and went out to the hall, and then began walking towards the source of all the noise.  He could hear clearly the dialogue going on between Rin and Jaken, and he shook his head disapprovingly from what he heard.

“How many times must we tell you not to run around?” Jaken’s shrill voice was even more annoying when he yelled.

“But I wasn’t running!” Rin objected, “I was trying to get it down so I could dust it-“

“Clearly you weren’t careful enough!  Look at this, there’s glass everywhere!” Jaken cut her off, not bothering to listen to her reasoning.  “Lord Sesshomaru won’t be very pleased with you when he sees this!”

Sesshomaru turned the corner, and the arguing parties both turned to look at him.  Rin looked down at her feet and Jaken just looked up at Sesshomaru.

“Mi’lord, look at what-“

“That is enough Jaken.  I know what happened.  Go get something to clean up this mess.”  Jaken was about to object, but with one stern look from his master, he scampered away.  Sesshomaru walked over to Rin and looked around at the scene.  He looked at where a vase once stood, and then to the pieces of glass on the floor.  It was just a small decorative vase, nothing that should have been taken as seriously as Jaken had.

“I-I’m sorry!  I didn’t mean to break it,” Rin looked up, and tears were welling up in her eyes.  Sesshomaru looked at her as he replied.

“Don’t worry about it Rin.  It was just an accident.”  At that moment he noticed a slight smell of blood.  Looking more closely, he noticed that one of her fingers was bleeding.  “Did you try to pick up the glass?”

“Yes, I was going to try and clean it up but then Jaken came in and-“

“Calm down, Jaken can clean it up later.”  Sesshomaru knelt down to be at her level, and took a look at her hands.  Her index finger on her left hand had been cut, but it wasn’t very serious.  He let go of them after checking the rest of her hands for more cuts.  He stood back up and turned to walk away.  “Come on, we’ll get a bandage on that and clean it up.”  He started to walk back the way he came, and Rin followed close behind being careful to avoid the shards of glass as she went.  She was smiling as she always did while folloring Sesshomaru.  She was glad that she haddn’t caused too much of a problem.

A moment later, Jaken returned with a small broom and dustpan.  He held them up assuming that Rin would be there to clean up.  When he noticed that he was alone, he realized that he was the one who would clean up.  Grumbling to himself, he started sweeping up the mess.

Sesshomaru lead Rin to one of the empty rooms in the manor, and had her sit down on the bed.  She looked up at him and he had turned back towards the door.

“Just sit here and wait.”  With that, he walked out the door and out of Rin’s sight.  She waited for him, sitting at the edge of the bed and swinging her legs back and forth.  She held her cut finger in her hand.  Sesshomaru was only gone for a few minutes, and he returned with a small basin filled with what looked like warm water, and some small strips of cloth hanging off the side.  He walked over to where Rin sat, set down the basin, then took one of the small strips of cloth and dipped it into the water.

“I can do that Mi’lord,” Rin started, “I don’t want to cause you any trouble!”

“Just sit still, it’s fine.”  Without another word, he took the damp cloth and cleaned the small cut.  When the blood was gone, he took the dry bandage and wrapped it around her finger, tieing it tightly enough to keep it in place.  When he was done, he stood up with the basin in hand.

“Thank you!” Rin said, jumping up from the edge of the bed.

“Just be more careful next time,” he said, turning his back and leaving the room.  Rin just smiled and left the room herself, following him.
