Nope don't own Inuyasha..

Mei Lyn woke up in a cold sweat that night. She looked over at he alarm clock an the big red numbers read 1 a.m. Mei Lyn sighed at the clock and sat up in her bed. She'd been having these dreams for a month now. Her parents and friend's parents went to France together, Mei Lyn and Lei were supposed to go but decided to stay with Larry, an old family friend.

The plane their parents were on had an engine problem and crashed into the ocean, there were no survivors. Larry had taken the two girls in and took care of them.

After the accident Mei Lyn shut herself off from the world. She sighed as she crawled out of her bed and walked out of her room. Mei Lyn looked around the hall way Larry's door was shut tightly, as she walked down the hall past Lei's room she noticed it was cracked open causing her to tip toe down to the stairs.

She walked into the bathroom and turned on the light closing her eyes from the brightness. Slowly she pulled her long blonde hair back into a sloppy ponytail.

She walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen to get a cold glass of water. She sat at the kitchen table slowly drinking half of the water in her glass then dumping the rest in Sweet Pea's water dish. Mei Lyn stared out the kitchen window as she put her glass into the sink.

She jumped as she felt something brush against her leg. She looked down only to see the cat staring up at her meowing at her. Mei Lyn sighed as she turned to walk back up to her room. She began to pull her door shut when she hear Sweet Pea meowing at her door. Mei Lyn opened it staring at the cat. "Come on." She whispered as the cat walked into her room and jumped up on her bed. Mei Lyn shut her door and quickly went back to sleep.

"Mei Lyn!" Larry shouted up the steps. Mei Lyn moaned and shoved her head under her pillow.

"I'll get her in a minute Lar." Lei said as she finished brushing her short black hair. Lei put her brush away and ran up the stairs. She walked down the hall and into Mei Lyn's room jumping on the bottom of Mei Lyn's bed.

Mei Lyn moaned and tried to kick Lei. "Wake up sleepy head," Lei said earning another moan from Mei Lyn, "You were up again last night weren't you?" Mei Lyn sat up and looked at Lei, "Yeah I had that dream again. It won't go away." "Maybe you should see someone?" Lei suggested earning a dirty look from Mei Lyn.

"Listen, I'm not crazy if that's what you're saying. My parents and your parents just died a month ago. We were supposed to go with them! I feel guilty that I didn't die with them. I don't know why you're not sad but I am. Luckily enough Larry was kind enough to take use in if not for him we'd be in a home somewhere! Face it! Quit putting on your happy face and wake up and smell the coffee. Our parents are dead. We'll never see them again!" Mei Lyn shouted her green eyes showing nothing but anger.

The happiness seemed to drain from Lei eyes as she turned to leave Mei Lyn's room. Mei Lyn got out of bed and grabbed her skirt. She stormed down the stairs and to the bathroom slamming the door shut.

Lei sighed as she entered the kitchen and shoveled scrambled eggs onto her plate. "You goin outta town this week?" Lei asked Larry while shoving some of the egg into her mouth.

"Uhh, I'll be gone for about four days." Larry said as he fed Sweet Pea, "Mei Lyn! Hurry up you're going to be late!" Larry shouted.

"OK!" Mei Lyn shouted back with a stuck up tone as she ran up the stairs to iron her shirt of her school uniform.

"Well, I'm leaving I'll see you girls tonight." Larry said as he walked out the door.

Mei Lyn slowly ironed her shirt. School had been hard for her since her parents died. Her grades slipped, and she lost all of her friends except for Lei. She slowly turned into one of them people who everyone's afraid of.

She put her shirt on and walked downstairs putting books into her bag as she walked to the door. "Come on Lei." Mei Lyn said as she opened the front door.

"Aren't you gonna eat anything?" Lei asked as she pulled the door shut behind her.

Mei Lyn looked over her shoulder, "Do I ever? Come on we gotta hurry if we don't wanna miss the bus."

Mei Lyn said as she began to run down the road with Lei right behind her.
