To My Reviewers: I am sorry to Lia and Derhellman about the relationship. Relationships don't really work out when you're young. But don't you worry. I'm sure you two will live happy lives. And thanks for all the praying, comforting about my jaw. It's much better now even though one of the screws in my mouth came loose and its bugging me, but hey. And school's okay too! And I know you love Rashi, so do I.
I am really happy to see some new readers reading my stories, which means more reviews. (Still aiming for a thousand) Now I can only update on weekends because of school. I'm a Freshman at High school now. Yippy....
Oh and just to let that one person know how they find out the sex of a child, that was how they used to do without that technology junk they have this modern day. So yeah. Sorry, I never was pregnant so I didn't know they updated the sex check for a baby.
Can ya blame me? I'm frickin 14.
And to top it all off I'm in a bad mood because I'm sick!!! Gar! I need to get this up by Saturday. ((Currently Friday)) I have a minor cold. I don't believe in taking medicine either. Unless I have a fever. I had one but I took some Tylenol and it went away. So no more medicine for me. Gawd I'm sick.
About the picture of InuYasha: I'm going to get one of my better artistic friends to draw InuYasha as a girl. I'm sure Sarah or Lacy could do it for me.
And you know the surgery thing? It wasn't working so they had to yank out the screws in my jaw and now they're going to pull my teeth out. I'm so lucky, aren't I....

Tsasami Rashi wiped her forehead rid of the small beads of sweat as she watched the movers carry the boxes into the large U-haul. She turned her back to the door and looked at her empty house. "Echo!" she yelled and it repeated the word back to her. She smiled. ((I always yell 'Echo' in an empty house)Soon she would be on a plane to Okinawa. Her dream finally coming true. But what of her life that she had so well implanted here on the mainland? Rashi shook her head. She had so much here. Sesshoumaru. Kagome. InuYasha. Rin. Her store.
Though she knew Kagome would be able to handle the store, she couldn't help feel that maybe Kagome would need her. ((I need a tissue....got my tissues))
"Miss Tsasami? We're ready to ship your things to the airport. All we need is for you to tell us," said the mover in the doorway.
Rashi turned, tears in her eyes. "You may take the boxes and furniture to the airport. Thank you." The house had already been sold so she didn't have the burden of paying for two house payments. She heard the truck engine start and then leave.
Rashi exited her house and closed the door, locking it. "Goodbye...home..." she said quietly as she stared up at the house.
0000000000000000
InuYasha patted his stomach as he looked out the window. Finally no more calls from Kagome. No more haunting voice messages on his cell phone and no more feminine taps on the door. Peace.
Did he honestly want peace and quiet from the world? No. He wanted to hear Rashi's and Kagome's voices laughing. He wanted to see Miroku and Sango making out. He wanted to see Sesshoumaru's serious face, but soft gaze upon Rashi.
He wanted his friends back. "Keh," he snorted. "Life's a bitch."
The phone rang and InuYasha picked it up and held it up to his ear. "Hello?"
"InuYasha! It's me, Rashi! I'm calling before I get on the train. It leaves in ten minutes. I just wanted to say that you can't keep running away from those who love you."
"Rashi-?"
"No, listen to me InuYasha. Please go back. Kagome needs you. She lost a lot of things. Think of all the hard things she's going through."
"Think of all the stuff I've suffered through!" InuYasha growled into the phone.
"I know. I completely understand, but Kagome needs someone besides Sango. She needs friends. She's just one of those people who can't be happy without friends," Rashi explained. "She needs someone who loves her and that's you."
"I can't," he replied.
"Please just think about it InuYasha," Rashi said.
"...Fine, I'll think about it."
"Thank you InuYasha," then the phone clicked off.
InuYasha sighed as he hung his phone up. 'Kagome...what do I do?' he thought as he slumped into the couch and placed a hand on his stomach and felt the baby move in rhythm to him. 'And what about this life in me...?'
0000000000000000000000
Sesshoumaru sat at his desk, his eyes on the screen of his computer. "Rashi leaves today...in five minutes..." he drummed his fingers on the oak desk. "Damn..."
He looked at the clock and Rin came in. "Sesshoumaru-sama?" He turned to her and looked at her.
"Is something wrong?" she asked as she climbed on a chair and faced him. "You seem sad..."
"No, nothing is wrong Rin," he assured. "No reason to be concerned."
She stared at him. "Is it because of Rashi-chan?"
Sesshoumaru sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Yes, Rin. It is because of her."
"Why can't you marry her like Sango and Miroku?" she asked as she played with his name plate on his desk. "That way I can have a mommy and a daddy."
Sesshoumaru looked at the little girl. "Do you like Rashi?"
Rin nodded. "She's a lot nicer to me then Kagura ever was or your other girlfriends too."
"Did you eat a one of those pills again?" he inquired as he looked at her. "I told you not to take those pills."
She smiled. "No I didn't Sesshy-sama," she replied as she hopped from the chair. "If it helps, I miss Rashi too."
That comment made him feel worse and he slumped further into his chair. "Rashi..."
000000000000000000
Rashi got on the train and sighed. "Goodbye," she said quietly as she sat in her chair and looked out the window as the train started to move.
She sighed as her cell phone buzzed. Rashi opened it. "Hello?"
"Rashi?"
"Sesshoumaru?!"
"Yes it is me," he replied.
"Why are you calling me?"
"Because...I wanted to hear your voice."
"Oh...I'm glad you called..."
"You are?"
"Mm hmm."
"Rin misses you already."
Rashi smiled. "And what about you?"
"I miss you too."
"I miss you," she replied.
0000000000000000
Kagome was sitting on the couch, watching TV. "Sango...why is it that I feel..." she couldn't finish. She just felt empty. So empty it was driving her mad inside.
"Empty?" Sango guessed. "Because Rashi and InuYasha left?"
"Sort of...she's part of the reason," Kagome answered as she shifted. "I think...I think I miss InuYasha. I mean, Taka, but I want to get to know InuYasha...he won't come back..."
"Oh Kagome," Sango wrapped her arms around Kagome. "I'm sure he just needs time to cool down is all."
Kagome sniffed as she cried into Sango's shoulder. "It happened so fast, Sango, I wasn't prepared."
"None of us were, Kagome-chan," Sango said quietly. "I'm sure everything's going to be okay."
But it didn't feel that way. Kagome had been torn from the inside out, bit by pit. All the pieces were now gone. One was gone to Okinawa. Another part of her was taken from her by that kiss that she couldn't even remember. And the most important piece hated her back.
Kagome rubbed her face in Sango's shoulder as their faces flashed before her. 'I have a baby. I'm a mom. And the person carrying that baby is someone that I love. That I shunned. That is really mad at me right now. What am I going to do...?'

Sesshoumaru walked out of the store and towards the subway, Rin's hand in his as they walked across the street and down under ground.
"Where are we going, Sesshy-sama?" Rin asked curiously looking up at him.
"We are going to see a very special friend," Sesshoumaru replied as he looked at the long list of departures.
"What kind of special friend?" Rin asked.
"Someone that will light up our life, Rin, someone who we can't live without. Someone who made me see that I do not need to be cold and distant," Sesshoumaru said, looking down at her. "Are you ready for this kind of person?"
Rin nodded. "Yeah!" she hugged his arm as he got on the long subway.
Sesshoumaru sat down in the seat as Rin danced around the poles. She would stop every once and a while to look out the window and 'ooh' at the sight.
"It's the ocean, Sesshy-sama!" Rin pointed at the vast sea of dark blue blankets going on for miles. "Can we go there?"
"We will," he assured as he remembered the trip the Inu Crew had been.
Rin then ran up and down the cart, annoying the tar out of the people on it, but they didn't protest since she always had such an innocent smile. She then got tired and jumped on Sesshoumaru lap, snuggling into the fur.
'I still think it's a pillow.'
'But it's not...'
Sesshoumaru shook his head of his thoughts as he gazed down at Rin. He placed a hand on her head and stroked her hair fondly.

InuYasha was at Mushin's once more. "Two more weeks a few days till this baby gets out," InuYasha said anxiously. "Then I can be normal again."
"Not really," Mushin replied. "You will have to care for the baby. It's a wonder how you will breast feed it, InuYasha, for you have no breasts."
"I'll give it formula," InuYasha replied.
"Formula is not a good thing to feed a newborn while it's brain is still developing. The baby needs breast milk for it has the necessity vitamins and minerals to make a baby grow strong," Mushin explained. "It needs it's mother, InuYasha."
"..." InuYasha looked at his stomach and placed a hand on it and rubbed it gently, feeling the baby kick. "I can't face her right now..."
"But you will need to soon. So she can provide the food for the baby," Mushin replied. "I know she hated you and detested you, but people change, InuYasha."
"Keh," he said, frowning and turned his head away. "She hates me. Because I lied to her. Because I hid my real self from her. Because she knows that I'm a hanyou."
"I don't think the hanyou part is bugging her. I think the hanyou part is bugging you, InuYasha," Mushin replied as he lifted InuYasha's shirt to scan the stomach for a picture that appeared slowly on the screen.
InuYasha didn't reply as his gaze went to the baby screen. "Can you determine its sex now?"
((Crisa: The reason I put 'sex' instead of 'gender' is because it's politically correct in writing format.))
"Yes, vaguely," he looked at the screen, squinting. "It's going to be a girl. Congratulations it's a girl, InuYasha!"
"A girl...?" he said, "Kagome wanted a girl."
"I see no penis," Mushin said, "so it's a girl. And see the way the baby moves? That's what girls normally do in the stomach. Roll around and can never find a good position. Though that object is still there in its mouth."
"Maybe it's a silver spoon," InuYasha joked. "Meaning it will be spoiled by Kagome."
Mushin chuckled. "Swallow any spoons lately, InuYasha?"
"No."

The subway stopped and Sesshoumaru stepped off with Rin on his shoulders. "Wow, Sesshy-sama! I can see everything from up here! You're taller than everyone else!"
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything as he moved across the sea of people easily. He walked up the steps.
((Crisa: I just remembered Okinawa is a different Island and Rashi is taking a train...eheh...well...umm...what to do is this predicament. Can I ask you a favor please just pretend there's a bridge to Okinawa. Thanks! Because Rashi hates planes))
He walked to the train station and looked at the arrivals and smiled. "Perfect. We got here just in time."
"Where is she?" Rin scanned the people. "I don't see Rashi-chan anywhere."
"She'll be here," Sesshoumaru said. "This is where the train stops and she needs to switch trains." He pointed to the map of trains. "She's riding the green line currently and she needs to switch to the red line to cross the Okinawa bridge."
000000000000000000000
Rashi looked at her watch. She should be arriving at the train station in two minutes. She sighed as she looked out the window.
She wondered what Okinawa would bring her and whether her manga would sell or not. Of course it would. The way she drew was magnificent. Her story plot was wonderfully comedy and romance. It was going to be a dead on hit with the public. Or so she hoped.
She would come back when InuYasha had the baby. She had promised him that.
The train slowed and came to a stop and the bustle of seatbelts and people shifting around the grab their bags was heard. Rashi stood up and grabbed her small bag that was overhead and then followed the crowd of people out onto the platform.
"Rashi!!!" a girl ran towards her and clung herself to her. "Rashi!"
"R-Rin? How did you-?"
"Hello," Sesshoumaru appeared.
Her eyes widened, "Sesshoumaru...? Why-what are you-?"
"I came to do this," he said softly, stroking her cheek and pulled her chin towards his and brushed his lips against her warm petals. ((Squee)). He pulled away and then kneeled down on one knee.
"...!?!" Rashi watched him kneel before her and pull out a small white box.
He gently opened the box, revealing a large diamond on a gold band. He lifted it to her gaze and spoke, "Tsasami Rashi, will you marry me?"
Her breath caught in her throat and she lost her voice. Her mouth became dry and she licked her lips as she thought. She couldn't burst out laughing. Not at a time like this, but a giggle escaped her lips as everyone's eyes were on her and him.
"Sesshoumaru...I accept!" she said and threw her arms around him, sending the both of them crashing to the concrete. She showered him with kisses as tears streamed down her cheeks and applause filled the platform. Rin had joined the huddle.
"I have a mommy now!" Rin cheered as Sesshoumaru picked up Rashi, marriage style.
"But...I still need to go to Okinawa," Rashi said in his ear.
"I'm coming with you," he replied. "And no one can stop me."
She smiled brightly and kissed him on the cheek. "I love you so much, Sesshoumaru-kun! And your portable pillow too!"
He twitched and looked at her and kissed her lips. "It's whatever you want it to be, Rashi-chan."
00000000000000
InuYasha stared at the TV screen. He was lost in thought. 'Should I go back? Everyone says I should...but...Kagome...hates me. I don't know what to do...'
The doorbell rang and his heart stopped.
