Milika looked at Rin who was engaged in the television. She sort of regretted showing her the magic of TV. It was turning her into a vegetable. Milika wanted to take Rin to the park but what if that Inuyasha person showed up again? She didn't want to put Rin in any danger and wasn't really that good of a fighter. Oh, heck she had to take a chance.
"Rin, you want to go outside? Maybe to the park?"
Rin nodded but still kept her stare on the TV. Milika quickly clicked it off. Rin jumped off the couch. "Okay." Milika searched through some of her old sandals and put them on Rin. They went out the door with Milika keeping a close lookout for any danger.

Kagome quietly closed the door behind her room. Inuyasha was in there sleeping and Kagome was afraid to make any sound because now his ears were quite sensitive. Kagome put earmuffs on his ears to hopefully block out any sound. She tried to tiptoe quietly out in the hall but suddenly one of the board squeaks.
She then heard Inuyasha calling from her room. "Kagome ..I need to talk to you."
Kagome quickly ran back to her room to where Inuyasha was on her bed.
"What is it, Inuyasha?"
"That little girl, she reminded me of you know, that kid that is around Sesshoumaru."
"You mean Rin, but how can she get here?"
"I don't know but that girl who was with her also had the scent of Sesshoumaru on her."
Kagome could not figure out what was going on. That girl must have lived here, she ran straight to a house had got a key to get in. But how did she know Rin? And how did she get that jewel shard.
Then Kagome remembered. A week ago her mother was talking to this lady who just moved in. She and her niece had moved from a small town in the country. They had moved because of the death of her niece's mother, father, and little sister. The lady said her name was Tiama and her niece's name was Milika. Tiama apologized for her niece not there because of her sadness was keeping her in her room and given her mother a picture of her niece.
Kagome ran to the kitchen and found the picture. She ran back and showed it to Inuyasha.
"Is this the other girl?"
The picture showed a girl about Kagome's age with soft blue eyes and curly long hair she had a big smile on her face.
"Well, I be, that is the wench."
Unknown to both Inuyasha and Kagome, very angry looking Sesshoumaru was making his way down the shrine steps. Inuyasha caught whiff of the scent but thought nothing of it. Thinking it was just the two girls he had just found earlier.

Milika pushed Rin high in the swings. Rin was having the time of her life. There was children everywhere and this place had so much fun stuff to play with.
"Wheee! Higher Milika!"
Milika gave Rin another hard push. They had been at the park for a while now, and is was almost time for supper. All the kids started to go home. Milika decided it was time to head home as well. She slowly stopped Rin on the swing.
"Rin it is time to go. It is almost supper time."
"But Rin wants to play a little bit more." Rin looked up at Milika with big sad eyes.
"I guess we can stay for a ...."
Rin took off for the monkey bars. Milika ran after her in pursuit. Rin grab the first bar and swung over to the next one. Milika tried to follow but she was horrible at monkey bars and fell after the second bar. Rin laughed and jumped down.
"I stink at these bars, but you are pretty good at them."
Rin smiled at the complement but then slowly frown. "Rin wishes Sesshoumaru-sama could see me."
Milika almost forgot that she didn't tell Sesshoumaru that she and Rin were going to be here. She wondered if he would be angry at her.
"Well, Rin, maybe we should go back. I think Sesshoumaru is probably looking for you."
With that Milika and Rin got up from the ground and turned around to find Sesshoumaru sternly looking at the both of them. Milika almost fainted from the surprise. Rin was happy as usual.
"Sesshoumaru-sama! Did you see Rin? She can go across the monkey bars, see? Rin ran up to the monkey bars and climbed across. Sesshoumaru face did not change a bit. He looked at Milika who was smiling at Rin. When she saw him looking at her, she quickly wiped the smile from her face. Milika looked at Sesshoumaru, "Hi, Sesshoumaru, I..I .." For a strange reason she couldn't finish. His golden eyes were looking straight at her almost cutting her in two.
"I'm really sorry." She looked quickly down at her feet. Why was she feeling like this? This was the person that saved her life but he looked so..mean.
"You should be sorry. I had to come to this..place." He looked at Rin who had stopped climbing the monkey bars. She ran up behind Milika and looked at Sesshoumaru.
"It isn't Milika's fault." Sesshoumaru glared at Rin in surprise. This was the first time she had ever opposed him.
Milika quickly added, "Look Sesshoumaru, I had to come here. I had to tell someone where I was. I'm sorry if I scared you." She shouldn't of said that.
Sesshoumaru gave her a look. "I, a demon scared? That is not possible." He looked at Rin. "Rin, come. We are going back." He looked back at Milika. "I do not need to see that girl again." He turned around and started to slowly walk away. He needed to get out of this place. There was too many humans and it was so, strange and different.
Milika saw Rin almost about to cry. She didn't want to leave Sesshoumaru or Milika. She saw her eyes start to tear up. Milika decided to do something.
"Hey Sesshoumaru, before you leave can you come over my house, Rin needs to have supper." She saw Rin's face light up with happiness. Milika hoped he said it was okay. Maybe he would even let Rin stay with her.
Sesshoumaru didn't need to deal with this. Milika was just a human. He could care less about her couldn't he? He saw Milika's pleading eyes and halfway smile. "What is with that girl and that smiling? That is all she seems to do!" He looked ahead and quietly answered.
"Rin, we can stay just to you get......."
Rin broke in with her happiness. She started jumping up and down like a grasshopper. She grabbed Milika's hand and ran with her up to Sesshoumaru. She walked between the two. Milika smiled as Rin skipped along. Milika quickly grabbed a glance at Sesshoumaru. "Why does he always have that emotionless face. I wish I knew what he was thinking..or feeling. What am I doing? Am I having ........feelings for Sesshoumaru??? Dear, I hope not, I mean he is a DEMON!" Sesshoumaru felt her looking at him and quickly stared back. Milika quickly looked down and started to get red in the cheeks.
"Gosh, Milika get a grip. I mean look I'm blushing!"
Milika quickly kicked a rock in front of her to get her attention to something else.
Sesshoumaru couldn't believe what he was doing. What was happening to him? Was he losing his mind or something rather? He stared at Milika's long curly hair and sniffed her scent. She had a very sweet smell to her. Milika quickly looked up to find Sesshoumaru looking at her. "Is he doing what I think he is doing?"
The walked for a while until Rin saw the house in the distance.
"There it is!" Milika reached in her pocket and took out the key. They walked up to the front door and went in. Rin was bouncing off the walls.
"Sesshoumaru look at this place! It is so neat!"
While Rin was showing Sesshoumaru everything, Milika went into the kitchen to heat up some leftovers. Suddenly the phone rang. She heard Rin yell in surprise.
"Rin don't worry it is just the phone, remember?"
"Oh yeah. Don't worry Sesshoumaru you don't have to hurt it."
Milika looked in the other room and almost laughed. There was Sesshoumaru fist raised to smack the heck out of it. Milika quickly grabbed the phone.
"Hello?"
"Milika sweetheart, I am very sorry to leave you like this after you just came back but I have to go out of town for a meeting tonight. It was an emergency."
"Do you need anything, clothes, or stuff like that?"
"Nope, always keep some with me in the car."
Milika giggled. "You never know. Well I hope you have a good meeting, Aunt Tiama."
"Milika, don't forget school is tomorrow. Bye honey."
Milika forgot, school! What was she going to do? Oh heck she could figure out something by tomorrow. Right now she had to cook supper.
Sesshoumaru looked around the house. What was this place? It is so different. He watched Rin become engaged in this box that showed pictures. He wasn't that easily amused. He walked around and looked the entire house and came upon Milika's room. He walked into it and was overcame by her scent. He sat on the bed and found a book filled with pictures. He became so fascinated with them. They were paintings that were so.....real, more interesting, they were of Milika.
Milika finished heating up the leftovers and called Rin to the table. She came running in and sat right down in front of her plate.
"Hey Rin where is Sesshoumaru?'
"Rin doesn't know, last time he was walking that way." She pointed down the hall.
Milika left Rin eating her chicken and rice to look for him. She was surprise to find him in her room.
"Um, Sesshoumaru, are you hungry?"
Sesshoumaru was surprise to see her standing there. He didn't even notice her coming.
"No, I don't care for human....food."
"Okay." Milika saw him looking at something. "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing."
Milika recognized her family photo album. She had it for years. She sat down next to Sesshoumaru. He was surprised that she just sat next to him.
"Oh, this is my family." She pointed out to the picture of them at their old house after it just got painted. "That is me, my mom and dad and that is my little sister, Kilia."
Sesshoumaru looked at the little girl in the picture. She resembled Milika quite well with the same blue eyes and brown hair but it was a bit shorter. He pondered why maybe he didn't see these people, around here.
"She looks just like you."
Milika smiled, "Yeah everyone use to say that." She started to feel all sad again. Everyone use to say how they were almost like twins, only different in age. Nobody said that anymore. Milika didn't want to cry. She couldn't cry in front of Sesshoumaru. She didn't
Sesshoumaru saw the tears forming in Milika's eyes. What was the matter with her now? Why did he care anyway? "But she is different, than other humans. For some strange way, I like her."
"Milika?" Milika looked up from the floor. Did she hear her name? And, in a caring way? She looked into his eyes.
"My, family, they ...they are dead. Dead because of ME!"
Milika broke down in tears after that. She couldn't stop them they just keep coming, tears of anger, tears of pain, tears of sadness, and tears of guilt.
Sesshoumaru saw Milika in great sadness. He couldn't stand this, to see Milika in this much pain. Like last time he couldn't stand to see her twisting and turning in her sleep from the pain of the bite on her leg so helped her. He had to help her, he was too use to the smiles she always given him. Not these tears.
He wrapped his only arm around her and hugged her to his chest. Milika just kept on crying and saying, "It was all my fault." Through her tears.
Milika started to feel Sesshoumaru's tight grasp around her. Was he really doing this?
Sesshoumaru calmly whispered in her ear, "No it isn't Milika." Milika slowly wrapped both of her arms around Sesshoumaru. She wanted to. She started to feel better. He gave her this calming feeling that everything was going to be all right.
Milika rubbed her head deep into his clothes, trying to breath normally.
He whispered into her ear, "That is right, breathe deeply and slowly, Milika, it will make you feel better." He stroke her long hair. Milika concentrated on Sesshoumaru's breathing to make her own match his. Slowly but surely their breathing almost calm as one person.
Milika felt she could stay like this forever. She slowly lifted her head from his clothes and her blue eyes met his golden ones. They both looked at each other for quite a long time. Sesshoumaru brushed a bit of hair away from Milika's cheek. Sesshoumaru quite like this feeling, the feeling that Milika gave him whenever she was around.
Sesshoumaru quickly realized what he was exactly doing. "Am I really doing this?" He quickly released his grasp from Milika, but surprising to him, she hung on.
Milika felt almost happy again. She could fill the void left by the absence of her family. Maybe, just maybe, Sesshoumaru and Rin could fill the emptiness.
She almost could.... Milika slowly raised her head up and put her lips to Sesshoumaru's cheek and gave him a small kiss.
"Thank you so much."
Sesshoumaru was speechless. He wanted to comfort her and then Milika ended up kissing him. He just looked down at her and smiled....
