~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Stupid Furball! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Inuyasha stormed into the kitchen and made a be-line for the livingroom, where he found his mom sitting on the couch eating a Hershey's bar and watching "Days of our Lives."

"Hey mom, I just wanted to forewarn you that we may have some unwanted company for awhile," he said, avoiding her eyes.

She looked up at him, "What do you mean?" she asked, still in the mindset of her afternoon drama.

Just then the front door eased open and the room suddenly grew colder. Inuyasha seemed to see everything in slow motion. He saw Sessho-maru enter the house and stare at the two of them on the couch. He saw his mother turn white and her Hershey's bar drop to the floor. He felt her grope for his hand and grip it with terrifying ferocity. All the while the soap opera droned in the background.

"Hello, mother, you're looking well," Sessho-maru said, sneering. He bent down to give her a hug. She tensed but didn't make a move to hug him back.

"Welcome home, son," was all she said.

Protectively, Inuyasha moved in front of his mom and let her hold onto the fabric in the back of his shirt.

Sensing the tension, Sessho-maru stepped back a bit. "Well, I just stopped to say hello. I suppose I shall retire to my hotel room now. I'll be back tomorrow to catch up. Shippo!" he called over his shoulder. A small foxlike creature appeared at the door with a heavy looking bag.

"Yes, Sessho-maru?" he asked. By the sound of his voice he was still a child.

"Get out the package in the side pocket, will you?" Sessho-maru said, with cool indifference. Just like him not to care that he's enslaved a child, thought Inuyasha. He felt bad for the pup, deprived of childhood pleasures. No one should have to work under that heartless beast, the minute there's trouble Sessho-maru will gladly sacrifice the small fox to save his own hide, Inuyasha thought with disgust.

Shippo pulled out a small wrapped box and nearly dropped it. Sessho-maru yelled, "Stupid furball!" and clubbed him on the head. The demon then picked up the small package and handed it to his still pale mother. "I picked this up and thought you'd like it," He said, as she unwrapped a delicate silver necklace with a purple stone pendant. It was exquisitely beautiful, even in its simplicity.

"Thank you, Sessho-maru, that was very thoughtful," she seemed to have regained some of her strength and gotten over the shock.

With a quick nod Sessho-maru went through the door, with Shippo following closely on his heels. When the door shut, Inuyasha sat down next to his mom. She looked at him, moaned, and fainted.

Stupid bastard, thought Inuyasha, why now?!?

A/N: Thanks for the reviews!! Shout out to poohsbestfriend. Thanks for pointing that out to me! I will be more careful from now on. I also know I have a few gramatical errors and end up repeating myself in some of the phrases of the earlier chapters. I was up really late that night and forgot to click on spell check. Thank you!!
