Disclaimer: This is really tiresome. I ONLY OWN LILY, THIS PLOT, PERSONALITIES, AND MY INSANITY!!! OKAY?! By the way, once my editor *cough cough AMY* Is done editing this, I'm replacing this section with the good copy.











Lily smiled, "I really miss my family. I know mom is giving them all hell." A faint smile crossed her face. * I wonder what's going on there right now. * ~~~~~***~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~~~~

Gohan sighed. His mom had been yelling, screaming, and throwing furniture for the past hour. He had to walk outside before his eardrums burst. *How could Dad live with her all those years? * Gohan stopped. He felt so bad for his friend. Trunks was sitting on a boulder over looking the cliff. He stared straight ahead. He had no expression except that of a man who lost something very dear to him. Gohan understood him perfectly. "You shouldn't berate yourself so much. Lily is strong; she can take good care of herself. We both know that. She's almost as strong as us. She doesn't have our powers, but she doesn't really need them." Gohan placed his hand on Trunks' shoulder. Trunks looked up at his friend. Maybe he was right. *Lily is fine*

"YOU LOST MY LITTLE GIRL!! IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT GOKU!!!! YOU GO FIND HER NOW!!!!" Screamed an angry Chichi. Goku came flying out the door as Chichi threw him. Trunks and Gohan couldn't help but laugh at the full-grown Super Saiyin being bossed by his human wife. "Don't worry Trunks, we'll find her."

Goku looked at the two boys "Never get into trouble with an angry pregnant woman." Then all three started laughing until Chichi started screaming again . ~~~~~***~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~~~~

Sesshoumaru was tired. He didn't know what had happened to Lily. Jaken told him that when Jaken went to give her her meal, she wasn't in her room. Why would she have left? Wasn't she happy? Did she think she could find a way to her time without his help? He tried following her scent, but it ended at a river. He knew she was alive. Lily was too strong to die easily. Where was she? The rumor about his brother was false. He couldn't smell the pathetic half-demon. Once he returned he had hoped to spend more time talking with Lily. But he was confronted with the new of her disappearance the moment he entered his castle. Jaken most have been frightened out of his life at the roar Sesshoumaru let lose. Then he disappeared in search of the girl from the future, who had taken him by storm.

"My Lord?" a nervous Jaken asked.

"What is it?" Sesshoumaru asked, never looking at his faithful servant.

"Do you wish to have dinner? I can have the cook make you some--"

"I want nothing," Sesshoumaru said, barely audible.

"But my Lord, you need to eat SOMETHING! Is it because of that human?"

"Are you daring to question me, Jaken?" "N..no my lord! Never! I would ne..never do such a hor..hor..hor." "Quiet Jaken!" Sesshoumaru sighed deeply, " Why did she leave? More importantly why do I care?" the great demon said, more asking himself then Jaken. "Leave, I wish to think alone." And with that Sesshoumaru turned his full attention on the stars and the forest surrounding his castle. Jaken looked helplessly at his master. He silently exited the room and walking down the hall. His master would be fine as soon as he forgot the useless piece of flesh that had captured the demon's mind.

Sesshoumaru looked out of his window. * Why couldn't I find her? I'm Sesshoumaru! I could find a hawk in the middle of a storm! Yet I can't find one simple girl. Why do I care? She's a human! I hate humans! Except for Rin. And Lily. I have to admit this to myself. She is more then an ordinary human. She's got an aura around her I can't describe. I have to find her. * Sesshoumaru sat on the couch on the balcony, contemplating his search for the beautiful blonde with enchanting blue eyes.

~~~~~***~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~***~~~~

Lily lay next to Kagome. Both were talking and giggling. Shippo had fallen asleep in Lily's arms. Inu Yasha retreated to a tree hoping to find some peace for the night Soon he too fell asleep, lulled by the sound of the two girls talking.

"Weren't you scared?" Kagome had asked.

"Of who?" Lily blinked at her friend. She had no clue as to what Kagome was talking about.

"Sesshoumaru! I've met him once and he scared me out of my wits!"

"No, I wasn't scared at all. Only when he kidnapped me. After that we talked for hours in the garden. I found out a lot about him. I don't know why but I felt relaxed around him. He made me feel safe. I wish I were there now. That or at home. Why do I want to be there? Get attacked by that gross little creep again."

"What do you mean, 'talked for hours'? You talked to Sesshoumaru? And you didn't get scared? At all?"

"Nope. He was so kind. He smiled and laughed."

"Wait wait wait, Sesshoumaru SMILED?"

"Yes he did. Kagome, I'm tired and I can tell you are too. Let's go to sleep"

"Okay, You have to tell me EVERYTHING in the morning."

"Okay. Night Kagome -Chan."

"Night." Kagome fell asleep the second she closed her eyes. Lily smiled at her friend, and then slowly got up. She needed to think. She slowly got up, checking to see if anyone had woken up, then walked to a stream that she had found when looking for water to heat for dinner. She looked at her reflection silently. *God! Look at me. I'm a mess. * She silently laughed as she looked at her tear and mud streaked face. Her clothes looked like they had just gone through a washing machine of mud. Her once nice Candies ankle boots were now caked in mud so that you could never tell their true color. Lily quickly took off her shoes and soaked them in the stream. She then proceeded to wash off her face. She stopped and looked out over the stream. She could have sworn that she felt someone looking at her. "Who ever it is, show yourself. I mean you no harm."

Inu Yasha chuckled at her. "What are you doing out here? Why aren't you back in camp asleep?"

Lily looked at him skeptically "I could ask you the very same thing."

Inu Yasha moved to sit by the girl. "I promised Kagome I would look out for you, I noticed you leave camp, so I followed you."

"I don't need anyone to look after me."

"What if I said I thought you would go back to Sesshoumaru's castle?"

"I'd have to tell you you're insane. I'm not going back there. I really don't feel like committing suicide."

Inu Yasha looked at the girl. "But you have thought of going back."

"Why do you sound so sure of yourself?" Lily turned and looked straight at him. "Okay, maybe you're right, I have thought of it. I don't understand this at all. The person you and Kagome talked about is the exact opposite of the one I met. *Sigh* I don't understand this at all."

"I don't see how Sesshoumaru could be called at "nice" person. He maims, kills, destroys, and infects everything he sees. I once watched him take an entire village. I still remember the people begging for mercy. First he took out the soldiers, each suffering a painfully slow death due to the poison from his claws. Some got lucky and bleed to death or were stabbed in a vital spot. Then he turned his attention to the villagers themselves. He let his friends rape the women, at least the ones that weren't too old, too young, or too ugly. With those he either feed to his pets or played "games" with them. Watching people being torn apart by wolves and tigers is no game. Finally he burnt the village to the ground. Any who didn't die in any other way, died by burning to death. And he was barely in his teens when he did this." Inu Yasha closed his eyes for a moment; "I hate humans as much as any other demon, but I could never do that."

Lily looked at Inu Yasha horrified. Her eyes widened as each detail came spilling out of the half demon's mouth. *No way! This isn't true. It can't be! He would never do that! *

"Oh but it is. Ask anyone in the village we're going to. Some had family there."

"Did I saw all that out loud?"

"Yes, you did. And yes, I am telling you the truth. I don't know what demon you met, but the Sesshoumaru I just told you about is the REAL Sesshoumaru. I'd be careful with him. He's dangerous. I think you should go to bed. You look to tired to do anything and we're going to be leaving in a few hours."

Inu Yasha started to get up till he heard Lily finally speak. "You fell left out, kind of outcast from the others in your family, don't you?"

Inu Yasha looked at her blankly, "You don't know what you speak of. You're a human from a human family." He turned to walk away. He suddenly stopped as he heard Lily burst out in laughter. "WHAT IS SO DAMN FUNNY?"

Lily stopped laughing long enough to answer him. "You're the one who has no clue! I'm just like you! My father is the greatest warrior in the entire universe. He's a Super Saiyin. So is my brother! I'm the only one in my family that isn't powerful or strong. My mom can throw my father through a wall! She is a plain human, yes, but she's the most powerful one I've ever met. And Android 18, she looks like a girl, but she sure as hell isn't. Everyone I know isn't normal. I'm the only one who can't fly, throw people through walls, shoot balls of energy, or crap like that. You think you're alone in this world? Try being me for a day! I feel so alienated from all of them it's ridiculous!"

Inu Yasha blinked. "You're crazy."

"Am I? How do you know?" Inu Yasha looked at her again. She had sat down by the stream again. He moved down and sat by her once more. The two ended up bonding and understanding each other. Soon Inu Yasha felt as if this girl was family to him. She finally fell asleep in his arms. Inu Yasha picked her up, walked back to camp, put her in her sleeping bag, and watched the two girls from the future until, he too, fell asleep.





Author's Note: Okay okay I know that Inu Yasha isn't usually this open, but you have to understand, Kagome is warming his heart. That and him and Lily have a lot in common, so the just connect. I'll give more insight to it in up coming chapters. Arigatou! Jaa!
