Author's note: AWWW Lauren said she was in love with Sesshoumaru! Sesshoumaru admitted his feelings---well kind of. At least to himself anyways. He wants her to come back! He showed some sign of caring about her. I bet Lauren really did enjoy sitting Inu Yasha like that! ^_^ Kagome, kissed Inu Yasha! :o Wow! I wonder if Lauren is actually ganna stay in her time and see if Sesshoumaru comes after her. Can we find out in this chapter or will it be the next one I'm not sure. Let's check.
Chapter 7: Am I---Alone?

(This chapter is a little sad so if you want you can cry I know I did cuz this is exactly what happened to me, except it was a friend-not my dad.)

"Mom? What's wrong?" Kagome asked, seeing tears in her mother's eyes and the sad look on her face.

"Lauren, honey, I'm really sorry." Mrs. Higurashi said, a tear fell down her cheek.

"What's wrong" Lauren asked getting worried. "Your father-he-" Mrs. Higurashi couldn't bring herself to say it.

"No-NO! It's not possible! He can't be! No-He can't be-he's not-" Lauren gasped for breath. She started crying, now that she realized what had happened.

"I'm sorry, Lauren. He-last night-he was at his girlfriend's house. He left to come get you this morning-but he-" Mrs. Higurashi stopped. She couldn't continue.

"NO!" Lauren yelled dropping her book bag. She stood there for a moment and when Kagome looked at her, her face was red with tears and she couldn't believe what had happened to her father. Her best friend, (besides Kagome). Mrs. Higurashi wanted to put her arms around Lauren and comfort her, but when she tried Lauren yelled and ran out of the well house.

"Lauren!" Kagome yelled and ran after her. Lauren ran down the street. About 5 houses away from the shine and stopped in front of a big house. Her dad and her weren't that rich but they could afford something as nice as this.

"Daddy-" Lauren whispered wiping the tears from her face. She walked to the front door and stood there with her hand on the doorknob.

She finally opened the door. Everything was quiet. The only nose Lauren could hear was the sound of her ferret upstairs in her room. Nothing had moved from the time she had left until now. No one was home.

"Daddy-?" Lauren said, expecting an answer. She walked in and looked around. She went upstairs to her room and found her ferret going almost crazy.

"Hey, Baby. What's wrong? Are you hungry? You haven't been fed, have you?" Lauren asked her ferret. She looked to see if there was food in baby's dish. There was still food there.

"You've been feed, baby, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Lauren asked slightly smiling. She took baby out of her cage and held her in her arms. Lauren started to cry again and baby looked up and tickled Lauren's face with her whiskers. Lauren laughed a little.

"So you do know what happened, huh Baby?" Lauren asked as Baby climbed onto Lauren's shoulder.

"Lauren?" Kagome yelled out of breath at the front door. "Upstairs!" Lauren yelled smiling at Baby. Lauren noticed a box sitting on her pillow. She sat down on her day bed and picked up the box. All the while, Baby was climbing onto Lauren's other shoulder. Lauren opened the box and found a picture frame. Her and her father were in the picture. The last picture they took together, before Lauren left for feudal Japan. Kagome came into Lauren's room and saw Lauren sitting on her bed looking at something.

"What's that?" Kagome asked sitting down. Lauren looked up.

"My birthday present from my dad. I guess he couldn't wait." Lauren said smiling.

"Your birthday is next week though." Kagome said. "He never can wait. He always gives me my gifts a week early and then we go out and buy even more stuff on my birthday." Lauren said smiling.

"What am I ganna do Kagome. My dad was the only family I had. Mom died when I was 5 and my brother-I don't even know him." Lauren said looking at Kagome.

"Where is he?" Kagome asked. "Hell if I know. I think he lives somewhere in Japan, just not sure where." Lauren said.

"Well you can come live with us." Kagome said seeing Baby.

"Baby too." Kagome said smiling and taking Baby in her hands.

"You think your mom is ganna want a third kid to care for?" Lauren asked smirking.

"Sure-why not. She loves you! Sota loves you too." Kagome said.

Lauren smiled and got off the bed. Lauren went and got a few suitcases and the girls packed Lauren's stuff.

"Mom can get some movers to get your furniture, if you want." Kagome said, seeing Lauren smile in agreement.

"How? How did it happen?" Lauren asked holding Baby up and looked at her.

"Don't know. But hey, come on, cheer up. Oh, let's hurry and get your stuff to my house. We still have the test to study for, remember?" Kagome said picking up some of Lauren's things.

Lauren smiled and nodded. She picked up her other suitcases and Baby climbed onto her shoulder. The girls walked back to Kagome's.

"Hey, don't forget, you have me still. My family, too. Oh and Shippo and the others. You still haven't met Sango and Miroku yet." Kagome said smiling.

"Do I want to-meet Miroku, I mean. I don't know if I want him groping me." Lauren said laughing a little.

"Eh, whack him on the head or let Sango do it if he does." Kagome said smiling.

The girls got to the shrine and Lauren remembered her bag that she had dropped in the well house.

"Hey, Kagome, I'll be in, in a minute. I gotta get my book bag. I left it in the well house remember?" Lauren said putting her stuff on the front stairs to the upstairs, as they went into the house.

Kagome nodded and Lauren went out to the well house, playing with Baby.

"So, Baby, wanna come to school with me tomorrow?" Lauren asked sliding open to well house door.

Her smile went away when she opened the door. "Brr. It's cold in here. It wasn't this cold before. I wonder what-" Lauren paused feeling something, some kind of presence, in the well house. She could feel something watching her.

"Brr." She said walking down the stairs and picking up her book bag. 'What's going on? Why do I feel as though something is watching me?' She thought.

"Hope you didn't care for him that much, girl. He was worthless to you anyway." A voice said.

"What the-?" Lauren turned around. No one was there but the voice kept speaking.

"He was nothing to you! You are alone! Inu Yasha's killer does not have family! She cares for no one except herself and her lover." The voice said.

"Killer-What? Who are you? And that's not true, I care for a lot of people! My dad and Kagome and her family are #1 on my list. And then there's also a guy-well-wait that isn't your business! Who are you?" Lauren yelled.

"A killer-much like yourself." The voice said.

"Like I said, I don't kill! WHO ARE YOU?" Lauren repeated.

"Your father's assassin. Well kind of. I'm not of your world. I killed his soul which killed his body-I'm not exactly sure it went so quickly-" The voice went on and on.

"What?! you killed my dad?" Lauren asked.

"Yes. I will kill anyone who gets in the way of you killing Inu Yasha! And then becoming my mate!" The voice yelled.

"Sesshoumaru? No wait, you aren't him-you're that Naraku guy right?" Lauren asked.

"Yes! I am Naraku! Now listen to me! You must kill that half-breed Inu Yasha!" Naraku yelled.

"Why? I mean yea, he's a jackass but still, why kill him?" Lauren asked.

"It's your destiny!" Naraku yelled.

"Yea, ok. Whatever! Bye Naraku." Lauren said walking to the door of the well house and looking at Baby.

"Weirdo, huh, Baby?" Lauren whispered with a smile.

She got to the door of the well house and it slammed shut. "Whoa! Ok! Let me out right now, Naraku! Not only am I not in the mood to deal with this, but I am also in the mood to kill something if you bug me!" Lauren yelled.

"Save your anger for Inu Yasha!" Naraku said coming out of the well.

"Whoa! When did you-Where did you? Whoa!" Lauren said looking at Naraku.

Baby hid in Lauren's jersey. She climbed down the back and rolled into a ball.

"You are alone, unless you become my mate and kill Inu Yasha, you will always be alone." Narauku said getting close to Lauren.

Naraku was now so close to her that her shoulders were leaning against the well house doors.

"Umm, yea. Ok, can I go now?" Lauren said looking at how close he was to her.

Naraku got really close to her and Lauren started to get nervous. If he didn't leave her alone she would have to hurt him.

"I care for you, Lauren. I'm the only one that does." Naraku lied.

"Care? What? But you're the bad guy. You don't care about anyone." Lauren said, as Naraku got even closer.

'Ugh! Sesshouamru, I really could use your help right now.' Lauren thought.

Naraku leaned to kiss Lauren, when something around her neck started to glow.

"What is this?" Naraku asked. Lauren looked down at her neck and saw the little glass ball and remember Sesshoumaru.

"You don't need this. You're a killer. Killers don't wear jewelry like this." Naraku said, reaching his hand up to tare the ball from Lauren's neck.

"It was my mother's. My dad gave it to her when I was born. Its all I have left of either one of them." Lauren lied.

"Hmph! Keep it them, but later you will want to get rid of it." Naraku said turning away from Lauren.

'Please, Sesshoumaru! Someone, get here and help. Where are you Kagome? Don't you think I've been out here too long.' Lauren thought.

Lauren slowly moved her hand to the door slot. But Naraku turned back around and looked at her.

"How did you get through the well?" Lauren asked.

"I have jewel shards of my own." Naraku said.

"Really? Then maybe I could take them off your hands and give them to Kagome. I'm sure a half-breed like you, doesn't really need them." Lauren said holding out her hand.

Naraku looked at her surprised. 'Whoa, he really is a half-breed? Ha, and that was just a guess, too.' Lauren thought.

"You always seem to amaze me in different way." Naraku said kissing her.

'Oh, God! Get him away from me! Sesshoumaru!' Lauren thought.

Her little ball seemed to glow even brighter and explode in front of her.

"Whoa! This thing can do that?" She said holding it in between her thumb and index finger.

"Cool! I didn't know that Sesshou-ma-ru-Coff, I mean umm, I didn't know it could do that." Lauren said watching Naraku get back up off the ground of the well house.

"You dare!" Naraku yelled.

"I dare what? I didn't do anything." Lauren said.

Naraku looked at her, and then at the little glass pearl around her neck.

"If you haven't decided by the time you go back to feudal Japan, then I will kill everyone of your family and friends. And in front of you!" Naraku yelled jumping into the well.

"OOOh boy! That was weird. Baby, you ok?" Lauren said taking Baby out from under her shirt.

Baby tickled Lauren's face with her whiskers to show she was ok and Lauren opened the well House door.

She opened it to see Kagome. "Whoa! Holy Geese! Don't scare me like that!" Lauren said.

"Sorry. What was taking so long?" Kagome asked.

Lauren thought back on what just happened. 'I will kill everyone' Came into her head. "Lauren?" Kagome asked.

"What? Oh nothing. I couldn't find Baby. She jumped off my shoulder and ran around the well house." Lauren lied.

"Oh ok." Kagome said smiling, and the girls walked back to the house.

'Was he telling the truth? Will he really do that? If he does, then he's right, I will be alone. But am I alone? Does anyone TRULY care about me, that much?' Lauren thought as the girls went inside.
