A/N: Hey, free time for me, able to type away, YAY!

"Sesshomaru, answer the PHONE!" InuYasha threw the phone across the room in frustration. "Damn it!" Who the hell does he think he is, he's just doing this on purpose!"

InuTaisho, nervously chewing on a clawed finger, reprehended InuYasha's potty mouth. Taijya just stared at the cell phone she had, worried beyond belief. InuYasha, as much as he hated to admit, was concerned for his brother's well-being. "Idiot." He kept muttering curses under his breath.

InuTaisho glanced at InuYasha, "We'd better get ready anyway, let's go and take on a more human appearance, I'm sure Sesshomaru is just fine." With that, InuYasha understood and fallowed his father downstairs.

It was a total mess. A total of a twenty-four car pile up. Unfortunately, the ones that were at the front of the line were in a lot more jeopardy then those that were tailing behind.

That is, if you were human.

In the wreckage, a certain youkai was not too pleased with this delay. Humans, they always got in the way. Always in a rush and them ALWAYS got themselves into more trouble.

Keeping the prized calm Sesshomaru was known for, he calmly unfastened his seat-beat and considered his car. His legs were a bit trapped, but that really didn't matter, being a youkai, he could get out of this without the assistance of more annoying humans.

Although he appeared to look human, his ears were picking up faint, muffled screams and he could smell the scent of human blood. There was also a distant heat he could fell, even a mortal should notice, the sign of fire.

Not wanting to dally too long, he proceeded on with trying to free his long legs. Pushing the dash board a bit, it allowed him just enough for him to slip his legs out. Now he was in a very uncomfortable position, knees drawn up to his chest, and for one of such a tall frame, it wasn't that comfortable at all.

With his sense of smell, he could tell that there was the possible outcome of an explosion, he had to work fast. Without his claws, this process would take a little longer than Sesshomaru would have liked. He tried his best to sit up on his knees so he could punch his way through the already cracked wind shield. After a few punches he realized couldn't gain enough momentum to knock down the thick glass. Growling with frustration and glancing at his blooded hand, he leaned back so he could try and kick it down.

With a few well aimed kicks, the darn thing finally shattered and allowed him to finally get free. With his eyes glowing red in fury, he crawled out on his elbows onto the glass covered windshield, cutting up his arms and the rest of this tall frame in the process.

The smell was awful, gasoline and human blood and to his oversensitive sense of smell, it really got to him. He felt a sudden trickling down his face, just more annoyance to the youkai.

After crawling and dragging himself along for a few minutes, he was finally able to get away from the wreckage and stand. He looked at his car, it was totally ruined. The front was smashed, but the back was far worse. The car that had been behind him was practically merged with his car, the humans inside no doubt in critical condition or worse.

The sound of sirens brought him back to his senses as he placed his palm on his temple were it was bleeding. With one last shake of his head and a small grumble about the way of humans, he swiftly departed.

InuYasha ran to the door, the door bell ringing frantically. Swinging open the door hurriedly, not sure who to expect he about ran over Kikyo's aunt in the process.

"Where are you going InuYasha?" Kikyo peaked around her aunt seeing InuYasha stumble and fall on his rump.

"Oh, you guys are here, that's great! Come in, it's pouring out there." InuYasha then removed himself from the doorway so they could enter.

Kikyo stomped in mockingly stating, "Geez, if your gonna mop the floor, just wait until we all get in so you don't have to do it more than once!" While the rest of the family was entering the wondrous house, Kikyo than smiled and offered her hand.

"I'll have you know." He said slowly a deliberately "I worked my tail off to clean this house because of my old man. He honestly thought the house was dirty, when there wasn't even a spot."

Kagome looked around the house in awe, it was huge! Souta and Kaede were behind Mrs. Higarashi as InuTaisho and Taijya entered the room.

"Hey all you! Thanks for coming!" InuTaisho exclaimed, going over and shaking Kagome's mom hand excitedly. He then bent down to Souta and Kaede, quickly warming to them.

Taijya gestured Mrs.Higarashi into the kitchen were they could chat. She tried to appear calm about Sesshomaru, for early they had come to the conclusion that the stubborn youkai was probably at his dorm with his phone off.

Kagome just continued to look around in awe, when the energetic InuTaisho came over with the two children, "Please, make yourself at home!" With that he ran up an impressive stair case with the children chasing him, he had promised he had some cool trinkets upstairs.

Deciding to join them, Kagome followed the spirited father.

Sesshomaru sighed, he had finally reached the city. It was still raining pretty hard and his head was pounding from the wound on his temple and the various cuts from the glass that were about his body. Being a youkai, this indeed hurt, but he could wait until he found shelter to nurse himself.

The tired inu youkai walked past a store when suddenly a bunch off people came bursting through the giant glass display window supporting various objects. Looking over his shoulder and sighed yet again, not believing his rotten luck. The streets were now stormed with humans that had been ransacking stores while shopkeepers were out for the holiday. He just tired to stay clear the best he could.

In all of the confusion, with many people bumping into him and items dropping and some even catching fire, Sesshomaru felt someone or something attach to his already scraped up leg. Looking down, ready to strike the offending person or thing his eyes came to lie upon a young human girl.

She was clutching so hard, not willing to let go. From the sound of it, she was crying. He didn't know what caused him to do it, but he put a hand on top of her head, drawing her attention and bent down. She had dark chocolate colored hair with the biggest brown eyes he had ever seen.

The young girl's eyes were filled with tears, so Sesshomaru unexpectedly picked her up into cradling position, ignoring the sting from his wounds and looked around. Waiting for her parents to yell for her or something. After a few moments of evading crowds, he made up his mind and took this mysterious little girl with him.

"Girl." He said in a soft voice, not wanting to scare her, "What is your name?"

The little girl was looking up at him in awe and she hoarsely whispered, "Rin."

A/N: Wow, great huh? Go Sesshomaru one more step at being a little more….nice, do I daresay?

Sesshomaru: glares I do not think so human

Danieru: Okay, I believe you, now, answers to you reviewers!

hyper person: I know, I can very evil sometimes, he's okay though (though he needs some medical attention for his 'minor' oww-es) Thanks for the complement on Kagome! I really appreciate it. I think that people always make her too…angsty. She is a bit in the beginning, but like Kagome, she comes to an understanding.

Kimonolover: Geez, I'm sorry. I just think she misunderstood. I am so glad you love my story though, you always review (and since chapter 1!) faithful reader, thank you!

Aqua Miko: Well, here's your update! And yes, Kikyo is 'nice' in this story, kind of like before she died in the series.

kagome of the western lands: Glad you loved it, smiles thank you
