Well... yes, I am... wait, never mind, I'm now 15 and I live in DC. Thanks so much for your review and I REALLY appreciate it. Let me explain why I chose this style of writing... well... not much to explain. Never mind. I just thought it would be different. I guess no one really considered having a narrator at the beginning of each chapter. And I used twit' and missus' just because it was adding flavor to the character. Inuyasha is quite a gentleman... only when he feels like it. ;) hope you like this one just as much as the last!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh... Where was I? Oh, yes. Inuyasha and his companion Seiya are having tea at an overly enthusiastic widow's home. As you might recall, (which I hope you do) Inuyasha was just grumbling over the woman's insistence to pinch his twenty-year old cheek. It comes down to this: Inuyasha, sitting rather stiffly in a squashy chair, finally asks what the woman brought him there for. Of course he asked in a slightly less arrogant manner...

Inuyasha cleared his throat. Missus, why is it that you have brought me here this good-Seiya gave him a look-Oh, you two! She laughed, swatting away the question like it was unimportant. You know I can't possibly figure out all this bank stuff by myself!

Inuyasha tried desperately not to roll his eyes. Bank stuff'.

Continuing her mindless babble, she took papers out of a nearby coffee table. Inuyasha tried to look professional when she passed them to him, but he could only make sense of certain statements and bills. (Let's just say that he had a long ways to go to live up to his father.) Seiya did come in handy at this point and Inuyasha nearly blessed the man right then and there.

A long discussion and many crumpets later, Inuyashas and his companion were free to go. The woman shook both of their hands and lingered on Inuyasha's a little too long for comfort.

Yutaka, my dear... She said in a hushed tone after Seiya had left the mansion. There is a reason I brought you here.

Inuyasha tried not to look too frightened.

She let go of his hand and whispered under her breath, There's someone I really want you to meet.

Inuyasha looked down at her with his violet eyes and tried not to look curious. Someone else in the house? That never got past him. Ever.

The witch screeched up the stairway. Come meet our guest!

Inuyasha tried to look comfortable and at ease when a girl's face poked around the corner. Glancing either way, she came down the steps at a hurried pace. The hostess cleared her throat. Kagome didn't speak. Inuyasha looked confused. Instead of scolding the girl, the older woman looked up at Inuyasha.

Yutaka, this is my niece. She comes from the main Island, Honshu. Kagome, say hello. Came the sullen answer from the girl. Inuyasha found her quite fascinating.

The older woman nudged Kagome in the side and she winced, before holding out her hand to the man in front of her. She didn't like him, not at all. He had a face of stone and any emotion he did show was a sour scowl. This man was not what she wanted. He was rich and spoiled and she wanted him to go away right now.

Inuyasha took her hand and shook it, wondering why she wouldn't look at him. Of what he had seen of her face earlier, she had to be angelic. Her height was a good head below his, but for a woman, she was tall. Her tangled hair held something that Inuyasha found wild, exotic, exciting. Something about this girl drew him to her and he was determined to find out what.

I work for the business firm owned by the Takahashis. I am the youngest brother of two. If you would like, Kanmaru and I would love to take you to see the business. Pausing for a moment, he tried to find out this girl's weakness. Something that would get her to react. Are you studying law?

She glared at him and snatched her hand away. He was taken aback by stormy grey eyes. Yes, I'm studying the mistreatment of youkai! She snarled. This man was nothing like her. He didn't understand. Her Aunt hissed at her.

Do not say such things! The wretches get what they deserve! The woman drew her hand back to strike the girl, but Inuyasha found his own hand over her wrist.

I... would not do that if I were you. He suppressed a rumbling growl that tried to break from his chest.

The woman looked surprised and Kagome looked up from where she had been covering her face in defense. He suddenly realized his mistake and let her wrist go.

He kept his face straight, but something in him was tearing at him. The thought of this girl harmed did something to him he did not understand. Rubbing his temples, he finally looked at the elderly woman before him. I'm so sorry, missus, I think I'm coming down with something. May I have your permission to leave?

The Woman composed herself and smiled. Of course, dear!

He nodded and opened the door, leaving the two women to wonder.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Well... I hope you liked it. It was harder to write than my first chapter, but I think I got the point across pretty well. If you can't see the plot unfolding, then you are stupid. :P

Love y'all! PS:

SORRY IT'S SO SHORT!

gomen nasai!
