Okay, this is my first time doing a Sesshoumaru/Kagome pairing. Please tell me what you think

of it. ^_^

Alone



Cold.....

Lost.....

Unwanted.....

A nine year old young girl shivered as she searched the streets for her mother and brother

once again. Not comprehending the fact that her mother had deserted her and left with her

younger brother. "Mama?" called out the young girl once again, as she wiped away the tears that

had escaped her eyes.

So many people walking by her, but none willing to stop and help her. Life was cruel.

"Mama, did you really leave me?" whispered the young girl, as she shook her head. "No. No.

Mama would never do that to me, right?"

"Mister!" called out the young girl, as a busy man walked past her, not sparing her a

glance.

"Miss!" she called another. No one seemed to care. She quickly walked to an elderly lady

as she gently grabbed her arm. "Please help me." she cried.

"Huh? Who are you?" asked the elderly lady.

"I'm Kagome and I'm lost. Can you help me find my mommy?" asked Kagome, with red,

puffy eyes.

"What's a mommy?" asked the elderly lady. "Do you know your going to die a horrible

death today? I predicted it! Beware! BEWARE!" Kagome backed away from the elderly lady in

fright and ran. As Kagome ran, two nurses directed the elderly lady back to the mental hospital.

Kagome fingered her fluffy, white purse, filled with money that her father had left for her.

Kagome sniffed, as she remember his last words.



~Flashback~

"K-Kagome." choked out her father, as he stuffed a purse into her tiny hands. "T-this is

the rest of my money. Use it well and no matter what, don't let your mother or brother know

about this. Promise me."

"I-I promise daddy." cried Kagome, as she watched her father take his final breath.

~End Flashback~

"Did Daddy know Mommy was going to leave me behind in Japan as she returned to

America?" murmured Kagome, as a new onslaught on tears splattered onto the ground. "Then

why did she bring Souta and not me? What does Souta have that I don't?"

Kagome curled into herself in a small corner of the alleyway as her head spun with

questions. Suddenly her eyes widened in realization. "It's because I'm a girl." Kagome

murmured to herself. "I know it. I heard it so many times....Mama telling me how much Souta is

better than me because he was a male. Then she'll always scream at me and ask why she even

gave birth to a girl who wouldn't be able to support her."

"I might be a girl, but I'll show her and everybody else that I can be better than guys."

sniffed Kagome, as determination burned in her eyes. "I'll show them. I'll show them all." cried

Kagome as she burst into tears once again.

"Yada, yada, yada, yada. Blah, blah. I heard it all." snorted a young boy with ruffled silver

hair. "I don't have to listen to you. Your not my mommy!"

"Inuyasha, I am your older half-brother and therefore, you have to listen and obey me."

bit out an icy voice.

"Says who?" snorted Inuyasha.

"Says I, Sesshoumaru." replied Sesshoumaru calmly. "Now get your face out of my sight.

I don't ever want to see you again."

"Feh." snorted Inuyasha, as he turned and walked down the hallway and into his room.

"That baka thinks he can order me around."

"He doesn't think he can." stated a plump old man, as he appeared in front of Inuyasha.

"He knows he can. He can easily kick you out of the house. Though this house and the company

may belong to your father, Sesshoumaru is in control, he is the heir to all this."

"Why did father have to die?" asked Inuyasha, as he glared at the wall. "He wouldn't

allow Sesshoumaru to bully me around."

"Inuyasha, we've been over this. Your father's death has already passed for a year now

and you know he had to die eventually." replied the old man.

"Bastard Sesshoumaru, if he wasn't here, everything would be perfect!" argued Inuyasha.

"Maybe not." murmured the elderly man. "He is the one supporting you, though he is

only fourteen. If not for him, the company would have collapsed. You would be wandering the

streets right now. You should be thankful Sesshoumaru is a genius and able to run the company

so well at such a young age. Though doing it a bit ruthlessly." he murmured the last part.

"Myouga! I can't stand it! I can't stand that fact that I have to rely on a prick like him!"

snorted Inuyasha. "I don't want to live with Sesshoumaru!"

"This is getting nowhere." muttered Myouga as he left. "Master Inuyasha acted as if he

didn't understand a thing I said. Then again, maybe he didn't. Ah, what am I going to do with

him?"

"Myouga, Inuyasha is only nine. He's just a child. You can't blame him for not

understanding. All his life he has been cuddled by his mother and father. Their sudden deaths and

then living with Sesshoumaru, who has hated him from birth, isn't an easy thing for him to

overcome." replied an elderly lady.

"Your right Kaeda. But I just hope Inuyasha doesn't do anything rash to anger

Sesshoumaru. There will be nothing we can do if Sesshoumaru kicks him out. He is the master of

this house." sighed Myouga, as he walked into the kitchen to get a bite to eat.
