A/N : i dont own inuyasha! and sorry this is a short chappy!

Steven flopped onto his mattress looking up at the darkened ceiling. His digital clock read 3:19 AM sighing he rolled over and looked out his small room window. The street lights were setting off a light orange glow. Sighing again he heard his sister moving around, getting ready for her night shift at the factory. He heard her swear under her breath as she tripped over his shoes. Wincing he thought of the long school day ahead.

Schools between the demon and human barrier were different. Human schools taught them the usual things such as math and science, the demon schools were a tough place to try to learn, most of the teachers weren't qualified, they weren't funded enough, and the factories were the only place a demon could work, so the point of going to school wasn't that good, besides they could be human hunting, if a human was found on the demon side of the city, then the human could be killed, eaten or punished however the demon sees fit. At first there were children getting hurt, eaten and killed for crossing the line to see there friends, but if a human child (under the age of 9) was killed then the humans would retaliate and attack with there weapons, which normally wouldn't hurt them, but special demon killing devices were used, so to contain the peace they passed a law that any child crossing to see a friend or someone of importance to them couldn't be hurt or touched in any manner that would cause them harm, they instead would be led back to the boarder. That law wasn't used very often, for the law was over 12 years old, and no parent let there child knowingly go a mile in range of the border, As well as teenagers were vastly attracted to crossing it and coming back alive. Most made it, but quite a few got caught and were punished; only a few were killed…

Sighing Kess got up at the sound of here alarm going off. "mmmmhhhh… damit, morning comes too early….ugh" Kess muttered. But thinking back to when she was with Steven she smiled. 'he's so sweet, nicer then any human on this side…' Wincing she thought of her tormentors. As she made her way to the bathroom her mother and Kagome were getting up. After her shower she made her way back to her room, where she grabbed her school books and went downstairs to see Kagome. "Hi Kagome! You staying in this time? Is that why you are crashing here?" nodding Kagome sighed, and looked at her with tears threatening to fall down her face. Kess wrapped her arms around her, and murmured, "what happened Kag.? What happened?" "I…I saw Inuyasha k…I was…him and Sango…were kissing!" as soon as she had said that she burst out crying. 'Inuyasha you are dead…' was Kess'es only thought.
