"Mom, I'm home!" Inuyasha shouted as he slammed the door to their apartment shut.

Walking into the living room, he threw his backpack on a deserted couch. Triangular ears twitched atop his head as he looked around. The house was neat, but something was off.

"MOM?!" He bellowed.

He frowned; usually his mother greeted him right away. Sniffing the air, he didn't find anything out of the usual.

"Maybe mom's out?" Inuyasha nodded his head at the thought.

Yep that had to be it! Grinning ruefully he made his way to the kitchen. It was plain, and could hardly be called a kitchen.

"Just wait mom…One day soon I will give you the home you deserve!" Inuyasha grinned at this thought.

Making his way to the refrigerator, he opened the door. Finally spying a tuna wrap, he grabbed it along with a glass of tea. Munching on his food, he sat the glass on the counter, as the phone started to ring. Sighing he made his way towards the noisy contraption.

Opening his mother's door, he let out a scream. Lying on the floor was his beautiful mother. Phone forgotten he quickly dropped to his knees beside the fallen form.

"Kaa-san?" He mumbled, gently shaking her.

Tears filled his golden eyes, she wouldn't budge. He tried again, still there was no response. Now shaking he reached over her body, picking up the phone and calling 911.

*4 hours later*

Inuyasha sat in the waiting room, chewing his bottom lip.

"Kaa-san please, please pleaseeeeeeee be alright!" He begged silently.

"Inuyasha Heartsaharu?" A strained voice asked.

Inuyasha looked up at the figure of an old woman in white standing before him. The name on the tag read Higurashi.

"Mrs. Higurashi?" He asked breathlessly, as he stood.

The woman smiled kindly at the young boy.

"You may call me Kaede, young one. Now I am sure you would like to speak with the doctor?" She reached over patting the hanyou's head gently.

Inuyasha nodded his head in silence, not registering the touch.

"Follow me then..." Kaede smiled warmly.

Inuyasha was soon led into an office…of white. As if that were surprise. Oh how he hated these bleached walls and what they stood for. He could smell the diseases in the air, it made his stomach roll.

"Ah, Mr. Heartsaharu please sit down." A fox demon asked, gesturing to a chair.

"Mother! I mean how is my mother?" Inuyasha blurted out worriedly.

"Now, now Mr. Heartsaharu, if you will please have a seat. It will make things a whole lot easier." The kitsune insisted.

Inuyasha grimaced, as he done what the doctor suggested forcefully. Looking up from his chart, the fox sighed.

"I'm going to be frank with you, Mr. Heartsaharu your mother is a very ill woman. It seems as if your mother has lung cancer. Luckily we caught it early, which means it is treatable." The nameless fox said voice full of regret.

Inuyasha was stunned. It seemed as if everything froze. He stared in mute horror. Shippo stood walking over to his patient's son. He waved a hand before the unseeing gold eyes.

"C-cancer?...You must be mistaken…there's no way…" Inuyasha shook his head in disbelief.

"I'm sorry" Was the whispered reply.

Inuyasha stood up, so fast his chair toppled over.

"I'm telling you there is no way that it is possible." He ground out through clenched fangs.

"Mr. Heartsaharu I assure you, that I would not lie about something so dreadful." The fox retorted.

"But you obviously are! My mother is healthy!" Inuyasha sputtered.

Pushing past the man leaned against a wall.

"It's just not possible." He thought over and over again.

*ten minutes later*

Numbly Inuyasha made his way home. It was as if a fog had enveloped him. He couldn't think straight. He sat heavily on his beat up couch, holding his head with clawed hands.

"How am I ever going to come up with that type of money?" He agonized silently.

Looking over to the left he eyed his discarded backpack. It was then that he knew what he had to do. He would quiet school, and redraw his tuition. It wouldn't be much, but it was a start.

Deciding to call it a night he went to bed, feeling drained.

Inuyasha woke with a start as his alarm clock started screeching. Looking around the room groggily, he rubbed his sleep filled eyes. It wasn't until he was brushing his fangs, when yesterday's events hit him like a ton of bricks.

His reflection of horror stared back at him. Shaking his head determinedly he rinsed his mouth and set his tooth brush aside. He needed to go get that money!

*two hours later*

Inuyasha made his way back to the doctor's office, a wad of cash securely in his hand. Not even bothering to knock he flung the door open like he owned the place.

"That is uncalled for, wouldn't you say?" The doctor asked looking up, from a stack of papers.

Inuyasha pulled his lips back, showing his fangs. Stalking forward he slammed the money down on the desk. Raising a red brow, the fox counted it.

"Well then, I suppose it would be a start." Shippo said nodding his head.

"That's 3,000…it's all I have! I swear-"

"It's more than enough to begin the procedure needed. Though I will expect payments, by the months." Shippo said gravely, cutting the dog off.

Nodding his head Inuyasha let loose a sigh of relief.

"When can I see her?" He murmured, placing his hands in his back pockets.

"Not today that's for sure. Your mother is a very weak woman and needs her rest. I have Kaede sitting with her now."

Inuyasha hung his head in defeat.

"I see." He responded dully.

"Don't fret within two weeks' time; your mother will be home." Shippo reassured.

Inuyasha gave a curt nod and exited the room.

*10:30 pm*

Now that he was out of school, Inuyasha knew he had to start looking for a job. He searched all over town for the remainder of the day. Nothing was available, either because the positions were filled, or the prejudice against his kind.

Walking downtown he saw a nicely dressed man that had two women on either side of him. Frowning he looked up at flashing lights that read "Club Cherry Blossom". Snorting in disgust he made a face at said sign.

"Oh what the hell? It can't hurt..." He thought tiredly.

Walking inside he was shocked at the atmosphere it gave off. Men were surrounded by women of every type. Everyone was impeccably dressed.

"Excuse me, sir!" A bubbly young woman asked appearing before him.

Inuyasha started, at how she had appeared out of thin air.

"Y-Yea?" he asked blushing.

"Welcome to Club Cherry Blossom, where our host are always in season. Full-filling your deepest fantasy! My name's Kagura, may I seat you?" The young demoness asked brightly.

Inuyasha gave a nervous shake of the head.

"N-no thanks, I was just looking about."

The wind demoness's face changed from friendly to nasty without hesitation.

"Then what can I help you with?" She asked as cool as you please.

"I was looking for a job?" Inuyasha questioned somewhat confusedly.

Kagura eyed him up and down.

"Alright then, one of our host, hasn't shown up for work today. I'm willing to give you a try. Who knows if you turn out to be any good, I just might keep you. Say kid what's your name?" Kagura spoke brusquely.

"Inuyasha..." The hanyou said somewhat stunned by his luck.

"Well then puppy follow me." She led him to a room in the back.

Pointing to some clothes, she ordered some of the staff to see him dressed and groomed.

"No offense kid, you definitely got the look, but you dress like shit. When we close, come and see me. I'll tell you if you're a keeper then." Dismissing herself then she sauntered away…

Well then guys what do you think? I hope you liked it and be sure to review I want to know your honest opinions!
