This is all Luna Inverse's fault for showing me the '$two0,000 Zig'. That was scary...

An Explanation.

By Icka! M. Chif

Sesshou-maru sighed as he looked over the small opening in the forest. It was highly... abnormal, to say the least. And he wasn't quite sure what to do about it.

"Rin." He finally asked, looking down to the small girl who had attached herself to his leg upon his appearance. "Could you please explain what exactly happened here?"

The little girl beamed at him. "Yep!" She cheered, skipping a few steps away from the tall youkai before beginning her narration. 

"Rin and Jaken were walking in the woods like normal-"

As she talked, she did a far impression of Jaken's waddle. It would have been amusing to the Deamon Lord if he hadn't been so puzzled at the moment.

"-When we hears this noise! But it's not a scary noise-" 

This was punctuated by her wide eyed head shaking. 

"-But a Happy noise!!! So Rin and Jaken goes to see what it is!"

Rin paused, a hand over her eyes as she pretended to look for something in the distance. She then straightened and pointed to the small mushroom village in the clearing in front of them.

"Then we find it, it's coming from this village right here!!! So's Jaken come running out at them, all fierce like-"

She curled her fingertips like claws and waved them over her head while making ferocious faces and pretending to stomp around.

"-And he shouts 'All your base are belong to us!', which Rin doesn't think makes much sense. But the little people here, they just look at him."

Rin stopped her stomping to stare up at her adopted father, her eyes wide and innocent once more. 

"Then they smile and start singing a song!!! La-la-la-lalala-la!"

The tiny girl proceeded to skip around, dancing and singing the strange up beat tune. Sesshou-maru raised an eyebrow. After a few moments of singing, which attracted some minor un-wanted attention from the villagers, Rin stopped, looking slightly puzzled.

"But as they sing, Jaken starts to shiver, like he cold. And he curls up in a little ball and wouldn't move no matter how Rin pushed him!"

Rin pointed accusingly at the small toady, who was curled up in a ball in the middle of the village. As they watched, some of the villagers swarmed around him, decorating Jaken with some flowers and tree branches. One of them was hard at work with a small paintbrush, industrially painting Jaken's robes with red spots.

"Thank you, Rin." Sesshou-maru finally said, patting the girl on the head. She giggled and hugged him around the legs again, delighted at the contact.

Sesshou-maru sighed again, silently musing if it really was worth it to try to retrieve his servant from the clutches of the small blue cursing youkai known as 'The Smurfs'.

Fin.
