Maru-sha: this will be the longest chapter yet, so laugh and enjoy !

It was a peaceful snowy day in Japan. Everyone was downtown in the shopping center. Chanel was looking at some jewelry. "I wish I had money to buy something in there..." said Chanel. "Don't worry, when I get enough money, I'll buy it for you" said Sesshomaru. "Wow, thanks Sesshomaru-san !" said Chanel.

"I wish my love-life was like that" said serenity. "You're too young to be in love, besides, your kinda funny looking with those ears of yours" said Inu-yasha. "That's true, but I have the same ears as you, yet you have Kagome to love" said serenity. Inu-yasha noticed that serenity looked like she had a blush on her face, but it was sign of a cold. "Are you feeling ok ?" asked Inu-yasha. Shippo jumped on Serenity's shoulder and felt her forehead. "Shes burning hot !" shouted Shippo.

"I caught a cold yesterday..." said serenity before she sneezed. "Aww, are you sick ?" asked Miroku. Serenity sneezed again, answering Miroku's question. "Ugh...see you guys later, im going home" said serenity as she began to walk off. "I'll walk you home if you like" said Koga. "No thanks" said serenity. "but-" started Koga. "You worry too much ! Im just going home !" said serenity. Koga watched as serenity walked off into the crowd and out of sight.

Serenity staggered on the sidewalk, trying not to faint. "I can't wait to get home...I feel weak. And some soup would be nice too..." thought serenity. She came to a crosswalk and waited for it to change. "Hurry and change light !" she said. When the light finally changed, serenity began to cross the street, but her vision was becoming blurry. "I feel dizzy..." said serenity to herself. A few steps later, serenity collapsed on the street and tried to get up again, but the light changed before she could get up. She saw a car speeding towards her and she screamed. Then, she was carried out of the way just in time by someone. "Gottcha !" said the person. Serenity opened her eyes and saw the person, but only for not even a second since she fell unconscious quickly afterwards. The person looked at serenity in his arms, he saw her dog-ears and he laughed. "Aww, how cute" he said. The person carried serenity to his house.

(Later)

Serenity awoke in someone's bed. She sat up weakly, but laid back down. "You shouldn't move, you have a fever" said the person. "Hey, you're the person who saved me !" exclaimed serenity. "Now what was a small girl like you, doing walking around in like this weather with a fever ?" asked the person. "well, I was shopping with my friends and I decided to go home and rest, but I passed out on the street and almost got hit by a car, but then I remember seeing your face when you saved me before a passed out !" said serenity. "I see, by the way, my name is Chris" said the person. "Nice name, my name is Serenity" said serenity cutely. Serenity then got out of bed. "I wouldn't try moving, you are still very sick" said Chris. "You worry too much, I'll be-" was all serenity could say before she hit the floor, passed out again. "Told ya' so..." said Chris as he put serenity back into bed.

(One day later)

Chanel ran onto the porch of the Inu-house and knocked on the door, Inu-yasha let her inside. "Is serenity home ?" asked Chanel. "No, she wasn't home when we got back yesterday" said Inu-yasha. "Hey, maybe shes run away from home" assumed Sesshomaru. "Huh !" shouted Inu-yasha. "Well Inu-yasha, do think that's possible !" asked Koga. Inu-yasha growled, knowing that might have been the case. "Of course not ! What are you talking about !" yelled Inu-yasha. "I'll bet something you said made her leave !" shouted Miroku. "Im more mature than that !" shouted Inu-yasha. "Yeah right !" scoffed Koga. "I doubt that !" said Miroku. Chanel grew more upset every second the meaningless bickering lasted, she finally spoke up. "ENOUGH FIGHTING !" screamed Chanel.

(It's dead silent)

"Thank you ! Now I say we should go look for her !" said Chanel. "I agree with Chanel !" said Sesshomaru. Everyone nodded and soon left the house to look for serenity.

(Back in Chris' residence)

Serenity awoke in Chris' bed again, but this time Chris was sleeping with her, WAY on the other side of the bed. "Hmmm...his ears are kinda pointed, he has a wolf-like tail, and he has long black hair. He looks like Koga !" said serenity. Chris opened his eyes slightly and looked at Serenity. "You feeling better ?" he asked. "Yes, lots better !" said serenity. "Are you hungry ?" asked Chris. "Im starving, I have had anything to eat since yesterday !" cried serenity. Chris got out of bed and went into the kitchen. "Ok, I'll fix something" said Chris. "Do you have any ramen ?" asked serenity. "Whats that ?" asked Chris. "Instant soup" said serenity. "Ohh, yeah I have that" said Chris. "Good, 'cause that's my favorite food" said serenity.

Meanwhile...

Inu-yasha ran through all the alleyways looking for serenity. "Serenity ! Where are you !" shouted Inu-yasha. Shippo looked in all of the places serenity would hang out at, but no luck. Koga left no stone unturned as he looked for serenity in the park. "I knew I should've walked her home !" thought Koga. Miroku went to the police station. "Her name is Serenity, shes almost 5ft. tall, she has violet eyes, silver hair, a fox-tail and dog-ears. Has she been here ?" asked Miroku. His only response was "is this your idea of a joke ?". Chanel called everyone she knew, which was nearly everyone in Japan and told them to keep a look out for Serenity. Sesshomaru checked the hospital, just in case serenity was there, which he was thankful to know she wasn't there.

(A bit later)

"You sure you know how to get home from here ?" asked Chris. "Yes" said serenity. "Before you go, take this" said Chris as he handed serenity a red hair ribbon. "Wow ! Thanks Chris !" chimed serenity as she took it. "Come and see me again sometime" said Chris. "I will !" assured serenity as she walked off down the block. Chris watched her until she was nowhere in sight.

Meanwhile...

"Any luck ?" asked Inu-yasha. "Not any !" shouted Koga. "I hope Serenity is ok" said Miroku. "Im sure shes somewhere, shes my best friend and I know shes ok" said Chanel. Sesshomaru sighed. " I wonder where she is..." he said. Shippo saw someone walking down the sidewalk and gasped. "I see her, I see her !" shouted Shippo. "Where ! Where !" shouted Inu-yasha. Everyone saw serenity walking down the sidewalk as well. "Serenity-chan !" shouted Inu-yasha as he ran over to her and hugged her. "I was so worried !" cried Inu-yasha. "We all missed you !" said Chanel. "Hmm ? Whats with that ribbon in your hair ?" asked Koga. "You mean this one ?" asked serenity as she pointed to the red ribbon in her hair. "Yeah, that one" said Miroku. Serenity blushed, "It doesn't matter !" she said.

Back at home, serenity had on her pajamas and was beginning to brush her hair. She took the ribbon out of her hair and looked at. She sight all dreamy-like and held and set it on her dresser with her brush. She got into bed and laughed to herself. "Finally ! Im in my own bed !" said serenity.
