Leanika rinsed the conditioner out of her hair from the water pouring out of the shower head then turned it off and grabbed the scarlet red towel sitting on the toilet seat next to the bath tub. She stepped out drying off her body then was wringing the water out of her hair when she opened her bathroom door that led to her bedroom to find her six year old brother staring up at her. "Urg, Yoshimitsu, what are you doing in here? " She quickly wrapped the towel around her toothpick like body glaring down at him. "B-but...Sister, he-" Her brother pointed behind him to the bed covered in just about everything that had to do with leopards and cheetahs. Their fur print blankets and pillows with black borders allow the edges. She gasped when she realized a man with long silvery hair sat on the left side of her queen sized bed staring at her with an eye brow lifted. "Sesshomaru? What're you doing here?" When he didn't answer she finally remembered she was standing in front of him with only a towel wrapped around her. Not to mention she had came out with nothing on. Quickly she went over to her black dresser on the other side of the room, opened the first drawer, took out her two leopard piece pajamas, and went into the bathroom closing the door while calling over her shoulder to her brother. "Tell mom I'm out of the shower and she can get in."

"Okay, Sissy." He scampered off smiling at the stranger his sister called Sesshomaru.

Leanika let the towel fall to the ground lifting her pajama top up from the granite counter. She stared at her reflection in the mirror clutching her top at her right side. Staring back at her was a girl with shoulder length darkened brown hair with light blonde streaks her body was very slender. Her friends called her toothpick when they were playing around. Her skin was a ghostly white like Sesshomaru's. Her sapphire blue eyes looked her mirrored image over one last time before quickly dressing, running a brush through her hair that was turning to it's normal strawberry blonde color as it dried, then grabbed her black bathrobe putting it on and tieing it as she turned around to find Sesshomaru staring at her the door closed behind him. "How long have been standing there?" She demanded crossing her arms.
"Long enough." He merely said. "As for the reason I'm here...was to get you."
"Well, you're too early. I have a test tomorrow and I don't plan on missing it." She walked around him, opened the door, and went out him following.
"So you expect me to wait here until tomorrow?"He asked watching as she got into bed.
"You can if you want. I never said you had to. But I'm not planning on going back for another week."
"What do you mean you're not coming back?" He sat on the bed to her left.
"Well, the day after tomorrow is Saturday, right? This week is my weekend with my dad."
"I'm not waiting another four days for you to come back home, girl."
"I'm sorry, but you have no say in what I do. Besides, you don't have to wait for me at all. And you've known me for a year so stop calling me "girl" all the time!' She sat up glaring at him. "And don't even think about sleeping here. My mother will flip. You'll have to sleep in the guest bedroom."
"Who said I wanted to sleep in here with a human."
"If you have a problem with me then why come here?"
He glared at her before standing and walking over to her balcony on the other side of her bed. He stood on it looking out at the ocean below. The waves crashed against the rocks far below before sinking back underneath the rest of the ocean before coming up and attacking the rocks again. Leanika sighed before turning to her night stand on her left, turning off the lamp before snuggling into her pillows and falling asleep.

Leanika woke up in the middle of the night and turned to the balcony to find Sesshomaru was still standing there staring at the cresent moon that looked about the same as the violet blue one on his forehead. Rubbing her tired eyes she sat up.
"Aren't you getting tired?" She asked watching him turn slowly to her.
"I'm a demon. I don't get tired usually. You should know that by now."
She nodded. She had noticed that he rarely slept. Sighing she laid back down. "Don't stay up too late." Suddenly she realized she was sounding like her mother.
"I don't wanna go to bed!" They heard Yoshimitsu cry out at their mother.
"Shush! You'll wake your sister!"
"Ewww! She's sleeping with that guy?!"
"What guy? You don't mean Sesshomaru? Your sister wouldn't sleep with a guy."
The argument continued on, but Leanika didn't hear the rest. She glanced at her silver alarm clock that matched the color of Sesshomaru's hair. "10P.M.!" She grabbed the alarm clock and brought it to her face sitting up. "You don't mean to tell me I've only slept for thirty minutes?!"
Sesshomaru glanced at her amusement in his eyes, but it faded as soon as she saw it. "What are you looking at?!" She slammed the stupid alarm down on the stand then got out of bed, undid her robe, hung it up, and went into the hall where her mother and little brother were still arguing. "Keep it down!" She went into the room, after slamming the door, and colapsed head first in her bed.

Sesshomaru watched her as she sighed heavily when they started arguing again. "What does a girl have to do to get some sleep around here?" She looked up to see Sesshomaru sitting next to her.

"Why not try using a different method?"

"Any suggestions?" She asked propping her head up

with her right hand.
He smiled lightly. "No. That you'll have to take care of on your own." He stroked his index finger along her jaw bone. He narrowed his eyes before getting up walking on to the balcony.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Go to sleep."
"How-" She stopped herself hearing the hallway was silent and the only thing she heard were the crashing of the waves.
"They're in their own bed. Now is time for you to sleep."
She crawled up to her pillows lying her head on them. 'What about you? Don't tell me your going to stand there all night."
"I sensed his presence here when I got here. Then it was gone."
"He as in...Atsushi?" He just looked at her. "So, he was here? Must've been when I was in the shower." Either way. It's a good thing his spirit can only come to this world and not physically. Otherwise I would be toast. She thought before Sesshomaru broke in.
"Didn't you say you had a test and that you need sleep in order to do well on it?" She nodded sort of dazed before remembering the test.
"But I don't want to leave you to suffer by staying awake."
"I said I-"
"I know what you said." she patted the bed beside her gently motioning for him to lie down beside her, "C'mon it'll be fine."
"Then will you sleep?"
"Yes. That way I won't feel guilty."
Rolling his eyes he laid on her right underneath the covers relaxing surprisingly quickly beside her. Satisfied she turned back into her comfortable position on her left side and decided to ask him something not very important, but she was still curious.
"Where is your armor?"
"I don't need it here."
At the edge of sleep she felt his right arm drape over her waist protectively before she finally fell int sleep's waiting arms.
