First day after spring break

My alarm went off and I threw it against the wall. Sesshomaru must have heard it because he rushed into my room making sure I was okay. I was I was still asleep as he looked over he saw the alarm and smirked. Everyone else was awake, he walked over to my bed.

"Hun it is time to wake up." He whispered.

"I don't want to go away I am sleeping."

"We have school today you can't sleep."

I peeked over the covers, "watch this." I flipped over and closed my eyes.

I heard his sigh. He crawled onto the side of the bed I was facing and laid down with me. I was happy with this. He kissed me but pulled away abruptly. I groaned, "Why did you go and do something like that?"

"Get up and I'll finish the kiss." I growled, he chuckled, I chucked an unused pillow at his head, he dodged and stood there smirking. I felt the smirk, I sat up and glared at him. "You are an evil person." I stated. "Yes but this evil person loves you and wants you to do well so he is trying to get you up." My eyes got big, "you said you loved me!" He nodded I got out of bed really fast. Walked straight over to him and pulled him into a mind blowing kiss after the kiss I whispered, "I love you too evil person." We kissed again when we pulled away I skipped literally to my closet. He chuckled, "someone is a happy camper." "What would make you say that?" I motioned him to turn around so I could get dressed and he did. "Well you skipped and you got out of bed, I had expected it to be harder." I Hn'ed him and walked past him heading down stairs him following.

"He got you up, he must be a miracle worker and you are happy something must have happened." The last time Inuyasha tried to wake me up I punched him straight in the face giving him a black eye so he swore never to wake me up again. I got my back pack and headed to the bus Sesshomaru to my right Inuyasha on my left and Rin in front of us. We waited about five minutes for the bus and got on the seats had changed now it was Sesshomaru and I, then in front of us was Kagome and Inuyasha, to our right was still Rin and Shippo, behind us was Sango and Miroku, and to their right was Celeste and Koga. I laid my head on Sesshomaru and fell back to sleep with his arm around my waist and the other holding my hand in my lap.

When we got to school Sesshomaru woke me up and we headed to the benches on our way we ran into Brittany and her crew, they had been leaving us alone but I guess today they grew some balls.

"Oh look it is the whore and the mute." She was pointing at me and Sesshomaru.

"Damn you haven't died in a whole yet, guess shooting stars don't work, but you are still ugly as can be so wishing wells must." I replied.

"You bitch how dare you say that."

"Easy I am tired and not in the best mood and you are in my way."

"Well at least I have a dad that cares enough to be home every night, oh and my mom isn't rotting in a grave." I lost it I lunged at her tackling her to the ground beating the crap out of her. I didn't even stop when Sesshomaru asked. It took two teachers Sesshomaru and Inuyasha to get me off of her. Her group helped her up she was bleeding and bruised and I was still seeing red.

"Babe calm down don't let her get to you anymore." Sesshomaru whispered as he still was holding my waist. I slowly calmed down and headed to the principal's office. "I am sorry Ms. Holder I am going to have to suspend you for three days since this is your first offense, and she might have said inappropriate things but you through the first physical attack as well as she had to be taken to the hospital." I nodded and walked out.

"What is the verdict?" Kagome asked.

"Suspended for three days." I shrugged.

They had to call my dad but we all knew he wouldn't show up so Kagome's mom picked me up. Sesshomaru walked me out hand in hand we got to the parking lot. He looked down at me, "are you okay?" "Yeah I am fine now." I saw Kagome's mom's car kissed Sesshomaru good bye, "I'll see you at home after school Maru have fun love you." "Love you to babe see you in eight hours." I smiled. He gave me a small wave and headed back in.

I got in and explained everything to Kagome's mom. She dropped me off at my house and all was good for about five hours. There was a knock on my door when I opened it there stood a man that could have been Sesshomaru's twin.

"Um can I help you?"

"Yes I am looking for Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru Takashi."

"Um they are at school right now. Who are you?"

"I am their father Tashio Takashi."

My mouth fell open. He is supposed to be dead. Wait he isn't dead. Did Sesshomaru lie to me?

"Come in."

"Who are you?"

"I am Sheri Holder, Sesshomaru's girlfriend."

"Oh, well it is nice to meet you."

"Um you too."

We talked for hours he told me everything, his sons did know he was alive. He didn't know they had been abused. He did know Inuyasha had a girlfriend but Sesshomaru never responded to his letter so he wasn't aware of me. He got the address from Inuyasha. I couldn't get over the fact Sesshomaru had lied to me about his father. It must have been three hours later because the door opened and in came Rin, Inuyasha, and Sesshomaru. I glared at him.

"Sesshomaru, I want you to meet your dead father Tashio." I said very sarcastically. Sesshomaru knew I was pissed because I used his full name.

"You wouldn't understand." He said coldly glaring at his father.

"I understand perfectly you lied to me, what else did you lie about Sesshomaru. You mother being dead, you being from Japan, you loving me." That one stung and I knew it, it was apperent on his face.

"No those weren't a lie."

"Right because he naturally lie to those you care about."

Without another word I walked out grabbed my keys and left just driving no where.

Back with Sesshomaru

"What are you doing here father?" I said coldly

"Am I not allowed to come see my children while I am on leave?"

"I would prefer if you didn't."

"Sesshomaru give the old man a break it was 3 years ago dude let it go." I heard Inuyasha say.

"He left us, he has no right to come back whenever he pleases."

"I am sorry I left son but it was my duty to do so."

"Was it also your duty to not come to mom's funeral?"

"Yes I was not able to leave you know I would have been there in a heartbeat if I could have."

"I doubt that. You forget I heard you guys fighting the day you left. That night she was driving around crying because of what you sad. It is your fault she is dead!"

"Yes it is my fault but it was also the drunk drivers fault."

I walked out of the house I was so mad, then it dawned on me Sheri had left because she found out I lied to her. I wished he was dead that is why I said it. When she came back would she understand? Would she forgive me? This is just like the night my mom died. That struck fear into my veins

With Sheri

I was just driving had no idea where I was going. The man I loved lied to me and it broke me to pieces I couldn't trust him and that hurt and scared me. I've been lied to so many times by my dad you would figure I'd be immune. All I could think was, "I trusted you, you broke it how could you?"

When I stopped I was outside my dad's law firm. Why did I drive here? I haven't seen him in forever. I headed up to his office. I knocked and once I heard Enter I opened the door and there he sat my dad who I hadn't seen in almost two years.

"Sheri, what are you doing here?" I heard the concern in his voice I never came to him for anything.

I ran up and hugged him tightly he hugged me back just as tight. I told him everything about Sesshomaru, our relationship, his lie, his dad, my suspension everything.

He just hugged me as I let it all out. I never expected this from my dad but maybe the fact he was never there made him realize that if I needed him bad enough I drove to the firm he better damn well be there.

My phone started vibrating I got a new text message

SESSHOMARU: I am sorry I should have never lied to you, but you have to understand my father and I don't have a good relationship you can relate. I sometimes wish he was dead because then I know it isn't that he just doesn't care.

I read it and more tears flowed to my eyes wonder what he would think if he knew I was with my dad right now and it stabbed me in the side that he wished his dad was dead I could never relate to that I loved family I didn't have much of is. He would never understand.

I ignored the messaged and I stayed with my dad at his hotel for a few weeks. Everyone was texting me asking where I was, if I was okay, if I would ever forgive Sesshomaru. So many and I never replied I just couldn't I was kind of dead inside after I got it all out. I hadn't been back to school my dad did call and found out if I didn't want to I didn't have to go back until graduation because I had plenty of credits. So I didn't go back I closed my self-off from everyone. My dad still was never really alone once in a while he would go out of his way to make sure we went out to dinner and talk and that was the nicest thing he had done for me in a long time. I finally just turned my phone off everyone still messaged me called me. I couldn't hear their voices and I couldn't even stand to think about hearing his.

Graduation

It had been three months and tonight was the day I was graduating high school. My dad told me to go shopping and get a new dress I decided online was safer just case the wanted to look for me. I took every precaution to avoid everyone, it got here a couple days ago. It is dark purple with a silver swirl design from the bottom to the side of my breast. It is sleeveless, hugs my curves nicely, goes to my ankles and my silver heels match it perfectly.

I turned my phone on it vibrated for a good five minutes. 42 missed texts, 17 missed calls, and 13 voicemails. I went through them there was one that caught my attention though from Inuyasha.

INUYASHA: Shina you need to come back. Sesshomaru is falling apart, are dad left again. He has been cutting again and I am afraid one day he will go too far and not stop. He is hurting a lot since you've been gone. He once said that you took his heart with him so he didn't feel anything. Obviously a lie but he has become the school bully and if anyone mentions your name he pounds them into the ground. He sent Naraku to the E.R he is still there. You need to come back we all miss you. Kagome is depressed, and hardly leaves her room I miss having someone that understands that damn woman. Most of all though Sesshomaru misses you and loves you and would do anything to take it back.

Sesshomaru is cutting, Kagome is depressed. Was this the right choice? Should I have left? Guess it is too late now. The limo picked me up and we headed for the school. I had to do this I needed to graduate to get my future on a role.

I felt the car stop this was it this is when everything I had been avoiding for the past three months comes back to bite me. I slowly got out of the car and headed into the school gym where this was being held. I heard aw and gasps as I walked past people, guessed they thought I was dead or I look that fine. Then I heard behind me one of the voices I had been dreading to hear.

"Shina, is that you?" Kagome asked.

"It might be depends what you have to say." I said not turning my face her.

"Shina!" That got everyone's attention. I heard a lot of rustling 5 different footsteps it sounded like. Must me Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and the dreaded Sesshomaru.

"Shina?" I heard them say in different volumes.

"That's my name done wearing it out yet?" I heard them running. I couldn't help but smile. I felt so many arms wrapped around me.

"Yes, I am alive I just needed a break. Tends to happen when people you trust lie to you and cover for him." I looked at Inuyasha.

"Yeah sorry about that but I wasn't sure what to do." I nodded.

"So spill what has been happening." I said trying to lighten the mood. Every once in a while I would glance over and see Sesshomaru standing in the corner in a black tux and a blank look on his face. I couldn't take it anymore I got up without a word and walked straight to him.

I could feel all the eyes on me and I looked straight into his amber colored eyes that I wasn't sure if I should miss or hate. I grabbed his arm.

"Sesshomaru we need to talk." I whispered.

He just nodded and followed me.

The Talk and The Graduation

As we walked outside I was trying to figure out what to say I could tell him I hated him, or tell him to explain. When we go to the football field we just stood there in our gowns staring up at the sky like it was supposed to give us the answers we wanted. It was a full moon tonight I glanced over at Sesshomaru and realized how the moonlight made is silver hair shimmer and his eyes shine. I couldn't help but notice there was a lot of emotions in Sesshomaru's eyes that didn't show on his face.

"Staring is rude you know." He said in his silky deep voice. I notice the smirk on his face and turn my head so I am looking up at the sky again.

"Why?" I whispered almost too quiet for my own ears.

"I always wished he was dead. I guess I figured one day he would be. I didn't expect to see him again until I had to go to the funeral. Where have you been Sheri?"

"With my dad. I realized after the thing with you I needed to see him tell him I loved him and hear him say it back."

"Why didn't you ever come look for me?"

"I looked for you for the first month or so and figured you didn't want to be found so I gave up."

"Why didn't you come back?"

"The first man I was ever in love with lied to me about his family. My heart was broken and it needed time to repair and figure everything out. I think we need to get back in there, I would like to get my diploma" He nodded. Before we got to the doors leading to the gym I felt him grab my wrist gently. I turned to look at him.

"Will you ever be able to forgive me?"

"I forgave you a long time ago Sesshomaru but this is something I will never forget. Plus I don't trust you, if you could lie about something as big as that what else have you lied about."

"I know you won't believe me but I have not lied to you about anything but that. I especially didn't lie when I said I loved you, and I still love you. You were my savior, you are my savior." He said quietly.

I nodded and headed into the gym where all our friends were. I could not get his words out of my head, 'I still love you', 'you are my savior.' I looked around the gym and smiled I could not be happier for once he was here to see my achieve something. I sent a small wave his way and he waved back.

Not a second later something ran into me and I almost fell over but I felt a strong arm around my waist and a firm chest against my back. I looked up and thanked Sesshomaru and then looked down to see Rin clinging on to me crying. "Shhhhh, I am here now ever thing will be okay I promise." "You left us! How could you! Do you have any idea what you put everyone through?! Did you even care?" He sobbed some more. I looked at her, her words cut deep she was my little sister I loved her so much and I left her with two guys. "Rin look at me." She shook her head no. "Rin please look at me." She slowly raised her head her eyes were red a puffy. "I am sorry I left, and I care deeply for you. You are my little sister no matter what happens I will always be there for you. Okay you got that?" She nodded wiping her tears. "I missed you so much Sher." She said quietly. "I missed you too sis, now how about we go get me graduated? She nodded vigorously.

Sesshomaru was still standing next to us. I looked up at him. "We are partnered to walk in and out together." I nodded and got to my position at one of the gym entrances and he got to his. After about 5 pairs of people it was finally our turn. I walked next to Sesshomaru down the aisle made out of chairs and we sat next the previous pair of walkers.

I started to get really nervous during the speeches. All that ran through my mind was, what if I trip, what if I don't get any scholarships, what if I can't graduate? Plus many more impossible possibilities. I guess Sesshomaru noticed my bouncing leg, he put his hand on me and sent me a –it-will-be-okay smirk. I nodded and took a deep breath, and calmed myself slightly. I noticed his hand was still on mine and with a quick movement I made it so our fingers laced together.

What seemed like hours later I heard it, "Sheri-Lynn Holder! Who will be attending Yale in the fall, and will be working towards a bachelor's degree in social services. There was loud clapping I saw all my friends and Sesshomaru clapping then I looked at my dad and to see a smile on his face like that again I would go through the hell of high school all over again.

After a few more minutes I heard, "Sesshomaru Takashi! Who will be attending Yale in the fall with Ms. Holder, his brother Inuyasha Takashi, he will be working on a bachelor's degree in child services. I cheered and whistled for him a big smile on my face. In that moment I realized yes he lied to me but I am in love with him, and probably will be for a very long time.

After graduation Sesshomaru and I made up and officially agreed to date again as long as he wasn't stupid and lie to me again. I was so happy, nothing in this world could change that or so I would hope.

Well that was until, I had to start worrying about college.


The end, decided to just post the rest.
