Nope don't own Inuyasha..
Mei Lyn laid in her bed for hours staring up at the ceiling. 'That's it! I've got to go back. I need to see who his maid was. But I can't go alone and Kat's not going to be home tomorrow.' She sighed rolling over in her bed. 'Lei's coming home tomorrow. Maybe she'll go with me.'
Sesshoumaru sat at his desk trying to focus on the scrool in front of him. Kouga's words kept entering his mind. Could he really find a way to keep Mei Lyn and Kat from coming to their time? Were they in any danger if they came here? He slowly stood up and walked out of the Mansion. He kept walking he didn't know where he was going. When he finally stopped he was standing at the base of the treestand.
"You couldn't sleep either?" Kouga said pulling Sesshoumaru from his thoughts.
"What are you doing up there?" Sesshoumaru said jumping up into the tree stand with Kouga.
"Nothing. Thinking. I don't really know." Kouga sighed
"They're not going to come here tonight. Let's go back and get some rest." Sesshoumaru said putting a hand on Kouga's shoulder.
Kouga sighed standing up. "They're digging us an early grave."
Mei Lyn woke up hearing Larry and Lei laughing. She forced herself from her bed and made her way downstairs.
"Good morning did we wake you up?" Larry said pouring food in Sweet Pea's dish.
"Yeah, but it's ok." Mei Lyn yawned pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"I have to run into work. Leave me a note if you go anywhere." Larry said walking up to his room to get dressed.
"Lei, you wanna go back to see Sesshoumaru?" Mei Lyn whispered.
"Who?" Lei asked picking up the paper.
"Sesshoumaru. Inuyasha's older brother." Mei Lyn said sitting down at the table with her.
"Sure I'll go see Inuyasha. I miss him."
"Ok but as long as we stop to see Sesshoumaru. I think he knows something about my mother." Mei Lyn mumbled.
"I'll see you two grils later." Larry shouted walking out the door.
"Leave Larry a note saying we went to a different time era." Lei joked.
"I'll leave him a note saying we went with Kat somewhere." Mei Lyn said grabbing a pen and paper.
"I'll meet you outside." Lei said pulling on a pink jacket and blue boots.
"That doesn't match!" Mei Lyn yelled after her. She finished writing the note and ran up stairs pulling on a pair of dark blue jeans and a red turtle neck shirt. She pulled her black jacket out of her closet and ran downstairs trying to put on her black boots as she ran.
Kat leaned her head against the car window, watching the trees whiz by. She really didn't want to go to her grandparent's house. She loved them, but they were incredibly boring, and now she was even farther away from Kouga. No matter what she did, she couldn't get him off of her mind. Kat pulled out her yellow portable CD player and popped in her Utada cd. She closed her eyes and tried to imagine that Kouga was doing at that exact moment.
Mei Lyn climbed out of the tree stand and waited for Lei at the bottom.
"Let's go. I need to talk to Sesshoumaru." Mei Lyn said walking through the woods towards the mansion.
"I'll meet you later. I wanna go talk to Inuyasha." Lei said walking another direction.
"Lei! You don't know where he is! I'll get Sesshoumaru to take you to him!" Mei Lyn shouted after her. "You're so stubborn!" She sighed as she continued to walk alone towards Sesshoumaru's home.
She walked up the the familiar doors and knocked loudly. She waited expecting to be greeted by Uni but instead she was greeted by an angry Kouga. "What do you want?" He growled looking at Mei Lyn.
"Is Sesshoumaru here? I really need to talk to him." Mei Lyn said stepping back away from Kouga.
"Yeah he's here. I don't think you want to talk to him right now. He'll kill you on the spot if you say anything wrong. Look at what he did!" Kouga said holding up a bloddy hand.
"Maybe you want to get that checked out by Uni or Jaken." Mei Lyn said looking at the blood running down his arm.
"Nah, I'm fine. Where's Kat?" Kouga said noticing that she wasn't with her for once.
"She's visiting her grandparents. Would you please take me to Sesshoumaru?" Mei Lyn said stepping inside.
About two hours later, Kat's parents pulled up to a quaint little house. It was painted a bright white, with blue shutters on the windows. The front lawn was perfectly manaquered, and the garden looked picture perfect. Kat threw her CD player back into her bag and got out of the car.
Her cousin, Hoshiko, who was three years older than Kat, ran up to her and hugged her. "Hey, cuz. I missed you!" She said, squeezing Kat.
"I missed you too, Hoshiko. Please, put me down." Kat laughed.
Hoshiko set Kat down and wrapped her arm around Kat's shoulders. "I know you have some stories to tell me, so let's hurry up inside." Kat and Hoshiko ran upstairs and into Hoshiko's room. Kat sat down on the bed and sighed. "So, what have you been up to?"
"Well, nothing. Just trying to survive my senior year." Kat replied.
"Just wait till you're in college." Hoshiko laughed. She continued to talk about her experiences in college, Kat nodding every once in awhile, not really listening. "Hey, Kat, got something on your mind?"
Kat blinked a few times. "Sorry, I zoned out there."
"It's ok. What were you thinking about?" Hoshiko asked, excited.
"A boy." Kat mumbled, blushing.
"Do tell!" Hoshiko giggled. "What does he look like?"
"He has long black hair and icy blue eyes. His name is Kouga." Kat replied.
"Where did you meet him?" Hoshiko asked.
"He's a friend of a friend." Kat answered. "I haven't seen him in awhile. It's hard to get him off my mind."
Hoshiko giggled. "You're in love!" She said in a sing-song voice.
"Yeah, I guess I am." Kat laughed.
Hoshiko and Kat talked for the rest of the evening about boys and other girly things. Before Kat knew it, it was time to head back home. As she got back into the car, Kat waved to her cousin. "Bye, Hoshiko. Don't forget to IM me!" She yelled.
"Don't worry, I won't. You got to keep me updated!" Hoshiko grinned.
The drive back home seemed to take forever. Kat looked out the window and smiled. She would get to see Kouga soon, and this made her extremely happy.
Sesshoumaru kneeled down in a room behind the library. Nobody knew of this room except for Rin she discovered it when she was playing one day.
Sesshoumaru closed his eyes and began to pray. He didn't know why but it calmed his nerves somehow. He was deep in prayer when he heard a gentle knock at the door. Sighing he stood up and left the room. He made sure the door was well hidden behind a large tapestry before sitting at a desk. "Enter." He said in a cold emotionless tone.
"Umm. Sesshoumaru?" Mei Lyn said walkign into the library.
"Yes." He said looking up at her releived that he wouldn't have to put up with Kouga again. He did feel bad for jamming that knife in his hand but he deserved it for bad mouthing Rin.
"I have a question about one of your maids." She said sitting down in the chair across the desk. It made her feel like she was at school. Sitting in the principal's office haveing one of their heart to heart talks that just annoyed her to no end. So what if her parent's were dead. There's nothing Mr. Nick could do to bring them back so why bother trying?
"Which one." Sesshoumaru said studying her face. She seemed so distracted.
"The one that gave Rin a bath the other day. What was her name and when did she start working for you?"
"She started working here over the summer. I found her washed up on a shore. She was half dead when I found her. Her name's Mai. Why do you ask?"
"She looked like my mother that's all. I thought that she may have some how ended up here with my father and Lei's parents...oh my gosh. Lei! She ran off I've got to go find her." Mei Lyn said quickly standing up.
"You can't go out there on you own. It's not safe." Sesshoumaru said standing up. "I'll go with you."
"Thanks, I was going to ask you if you'd take us to see Inuyasha anyways." Mei Lyn slyly smiled.
"No way. I refuse to take you to him." Sesshoumaru said stubbornly.
"Come on you can hide in the trees. You don't need to fight him everytime you see him." Mei Lyn said pulling on Sesshoumaru's arm.
"Don't do this to me." Sesshoumaru wined.
"Don't be such a baby. Lets go." Mei Lyn said walking out of the mainson followed by a reluctant Sesshoumaru.
They quickly found Lei thanks to Sesshoumaru's help.
"Go talk to him. You've got five minutes." Sesshoumaru grumbled sitting down in a patch of moss.
"Go on Lei. We'll be waiting here for you." Mei Lyn said pushing Lei forward. "Thanks Sesshoumaru." She smiled sitting down beside him resting her head on his shoulder.
"What do you think you're doing?" Sesshoumaru said startled by her actions.
"Nothing why?"
"Never mind." Sesshoumrau sighed. "Maybe you should go talk to Mai yourself. Mei Lyn."
"Sesshoumaru! What do you think you're doing here!" Inuyasha shouted walking into the woods.
"I'm not here to start a fight with you. I'm not in the mood to fight with you today." Sesshoumaru sighed fighting the urge to stand up and rip Inuyasha's throat out. "I'm only here because they asked me to bring them to you."
"Since when do you take orders from humans?" Inuyasha smirked.
"You you ungreatful little..." Sesshoumaru growled standing up.
"Lets go!" Lei shouted running past the two brothers.
"Sesshoumaru come on." Mei Lyn said tugging at his arm.
"You lucked out this time little brother." Sesshoumaru growled walking away from Inuyasha and his friends.
