(a/n): This is an AU (Alternate Universe) and sort of a "make up" story for my lost "I Found You" one. There were some people who were actually upset it was taken off. So, I wrote this instead. And hopefully it will be a good one!

So before you continue, if you haven't read my stories before, you're going to have to know that the titles before each indicated scene in dashed lines such as -Cheer up! Hojo- are not actually titles. They are the song from the Inuyasha soundtrack that corresponds to the scene. I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO IT! IT REALLY HELPS WITH THE IMAGINARY PARTS OF THE STORY. I PROMISE! All you need to do as a reader is open a new page to youtube, type in "Inuyasha sountrack _" and then the name of the title that I put for you.

Okay, well without further or do, enjoy! And don't forget to review ;)


-Cheer up! Hojo-

"So, how did you do this semester?" one of the girls asked.

"Well… Let's just say I could have done a lot better…" Rin replied, biting her lower lip nervously. Who am I kidding? 62% is terrible!

Rin was a troubled 2nd year university student at the University of Tokyo – troubled as in she had difficulties with her grades. It wasn't as though she wasn't intelligent enough to be scoring 90's like her friends. Rin had a problem with her attention span. Although her body physically developed, it was as though her mind never grew from the careless 4 year old she once was.

She, alongside her two best friends Lina and Seoji, both of which were demons, walked home together after school. In this era, humans and demons co-existed with one another, as long as the Sacred Jewel of Four Souls was tucked away from society.

Today was Rin's older brother's birthday and she knew she had to make it home soon. Otherwise, she would have to answer to her impatient and soon-to-be furious brother. "Okay, well I have to head on home! It's Sato's birthday today…" she waved her friends goodbye, only to head straight into the hard chest of a man who had just left an expensive designer store.

Rin rubbed her head as she picked herself and her books up from the painful cement. The nerve of this guy… he never even offered me help! She slowly lifted her head to see that she had in fact bumped into not a man, but a demon. He was dressed in a fine silk suit, decorated with a simple striped blue tie. Long silver hair cascaded down his stiff back and tied in a loose ponytail halfway. His face seemed to be painted with magenta colored stripes that hugged his hard cheeks and a faded blue crescent moon in the middle of his forehead. His eyes pierced daggers into her intimidated soul with their eternal gold.

"Watch where you are going," he coldly stated, eyeing her trembling figure. Without another word, he walked straight to his lavish, sleek black car and drove away, carrying a small wrapped box.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lina asked, dusting Rin's uniform off. Lina was a petite demon girl, with cropped red hair and eyes the color of the setting sun. Rin learned that she was a fire demon – intelligent and very quick on her feet.

"Wow, that guy was sure something," Seoji breathed, staring out into the busy streets of modern day Tokyo. Seoji was strong, built with muscle and blessed with abnormal strength. Other than her broad figure, she was a decent looking demoness.

"Yeah… tell me about it," Rin raised an eyebrow and stared at her watch. "Oh my gosh! I really have to run… bye!"

Her friends watched exasperatedly as she hastily ran down the street and disappeared into the corner.


-Searching for the Sacred Jewel-

"I'm home! Sorry, I ran into some crazy jerk of a demon outside the designer shop and he didn't even help me up!" Rin yelled as she closed the door behind her and hung her scarf and jacket on the hooks next to her head. Carelessly, she removed her shoes and ran inside the kitchen.

There, sitting next to her wide eyed brother was the very demon she had met earlier before.

A crimson crept onto her cheeks as her hands clenched into fists. "Sato! Why didn't you tell me we had company!"

"Does it matter? Stop being so obnoxious, Rin. You know better than that." Sato stood from the table and walked over to his shaking little sister. He placed an arm around her and smiled innocently before his friend. "Sesshomaru, this is Rin."

Sesshomaru's chin rested on his folded hands before him as he uninterestingly surveyed the girl. "Not only do you have to watch where you're going," he started. "You should also watch your mouth."

Rin's jaw dropped to the floor as she pointed straight at the glowing demon. "And you should watch your manners! Just who do you think you are anyways?" She was silenced by Sato's hand covering her mouth.

"Rin, Sesshomaru is the son of the man who runs Taisho Corp!" he hissed through bared teeth. "So be good to him, you pest!"

Taisho Corp was the mega-money-maker of Tokyo, Japan. It imported and exported more goods than all of the other companies combined and multiplied by 2. Taisho Corp, in a sense, ruled the stock markets, hovered over every other business and was the only institution that intimidated the government.

Immediately, she bowed before the apparently great demon and scratched her head nervously. "Sorry sir… I didn't… well…"

Sesshomaru stood from the table, slipped off his suit coat and tie and hung it on the chair he sat on. "It looks like her common sense is about as low as her grades." He used his long fingers to undo the top buttons of his white dress shirt and sleeves, rolling them up professionally.

Sato laughed and patted his friend on the back. "Well… what can I say? I guess I inherited the looks and brains in the family!"

Rin rolled her eyes and stared down at her feet. What was this stupid demon criticizing her for anyways?

"Rin," her brother called. "I have excellent news for you. I know it's my birthday and all, but I decided to give you a gift instead!"

She looked up at her brother inquisitively, staring at his jet black, shaggy hair and soft features. "What do you mean?"

"Sesshomaru is going to be tutoring you from now on!"

She felt the blood rush to her ears and pound with such intensity, the remainder of her eager brother's sentence was nothing but a squashed blur. Fixing her gaze on the demon who sat with his eyes closed and arms crossed, she felt shivers run down her spine. He was far too beautiful and superior to be teaching her. Is Sato insane? How on earth does he expect Sesshomaru to even agree to this?

"Don't worry about paying me, Sato," Sesshomaru said with amusement. "Seeing this girl improve will be a miracle in itself."


(a/n): As you can see, there is a lot of character development that needs to happen here. hahaha, anyways, I don't know how this willl turn out! We will see... review!
