Maru-sha: Here's another chapter ! Thanks Kei-Ookami.kara.mori for letting me use your character. And yes, you may use Serenity in your story. Remember, fanart is still being accepted ! Laugh and enjoy !

"Yes, it'll be much better this way..." Serenity whimpered. Her idea of running away was sitting in a tree at the park. She starred blankly into the sky for a long time. "I wonder where I should go. Hmm..." Serenity said before completely going into deep thought. "Hiding in a tree are you ?" asked a voice.

Serenity looked up and saw Sesshomaru sitting on another tree limb. "Fluffy-sama ! You came for me ?" she exclaimed. "Yes, and needless to say, Inu-yasha and Vespa haven't noticed that you're gone" he said. "Not even Inu-yasha ?" Serenity squeaked. "Well, he was very upset that you left, but now he seems to have forgotten" Sesshomaru said.

"What am I gonna do, Fluffy-sama ? I don't know where else to go..." Serenity cried. "Hush, you know how I feel about your whining. You're coming with me" he said sharply. "w-with you ?" she stammered. "Where else ? It's obvious you don't want to go back home yet. I'll take you to my house" Sesshomaru said.

"You mean that ? You hardly ever invite people to your house" Serenity gasped. "I know, but you're my sister. Its different with you" he said, jumping onto the tree limb Serenity was on. "Okay, I'll go" she said with a faint smile. In one motion, Sesshomaru took Serenity into his arms and jumped down from the tree and ran home.

A few minutes later, Serenity was looking at a large black house. It reminded her of the ones in those storybooks with evil spirits living inside. "Wow...you're house is so cool !" she cried. "Really ? The neighbors complain about it being too scary...you should see it on Halloween" Sesshomaru commented.

"Oh Sesshomaru !" shrieked a voice. Sesshomaru snarled and took Serenity by the hand and ran to the front door, then reached into his pockets to find the house key. A young girl started running towards them with a crazed look on her face. She had long brown hair with blue and gold highlights, brownish green eyes, and wore a pair of black jeans and a blue shirt with a lighting bolt pattern on it.

"She looks scary !" Serenity cried. "Very observant...she is ! Where the hell is my key ?" Sesshomaru exclaimed as he searched the pockets in his pants and the ones on his jacket. "My love, don't run away !" the girl squealed. Sesshomaru then found his key, unlocked the door and ran inside while carrying Serenity under his arm. He slammed the door and locked it just before hearing the girl run into it.

"Aw, come on ! I just wanna talk !" she cried. "What's with her ?" Serenity asked. "she's my next door neighbor...one night I forgot to close the curtains before I took my shower, and with the shower being right in front of the window...must I go on ?" he asked, his face just begging Serenity not to ask anymore. "Oooh ! She saw you naked !" Serenity laughed.

"YES ! I mean...yes, she did..." he said in a low voice. "And she's been after you since ?" Serenity asked. "Yeah. I can't help it. The women love me with or without clothes !" he said into a microphone he was suddenly holding. "You're funny !" she said with a laugh. "I try not to be" he said coldly.

(Back at the Inu-house)

"Inu-yasha dear, you alright ?" Vespa asked. "Hmm ? Oh yeah, im fine" Inu-yasha said dully. "You're been sitting here in the dark all day. You thinking about Serenity ?" the alien girl asked. "No ! Why would I think about her ? She's the biggest brat in the universe !" Inu-yasha yelled. "Although," he thought. "The look in her eyes after I yelled at her is soul shattering. She looked so sad"

"Something wrong ?" Vespa asked, noticing Inu-yasha's eyes filling with tears. "I'M THE WORST BROTHER IN THE WORLD ! WAAAAAAHHHHHH !" Inu-yasha cried before running up to his room, bawling his eyes out. "Mommy, what's wrong with daddy ?" asked Vesha. "Nervous breakdown..." Vespa replied.

(At Sesshomaru's house)

"Listen Serenity, I have an errand to do. Will you be fine here alone ?" Sesshomaru asked. Serenity was nowhere in sight. "Wheeeeeee ! Look at me Fluffy-sama !" Serenity called, who was clinging to the ceiling fan while it was on. "Get down from there ! You're gonna fall !" he yelled. "Aww, okay !" she said as she let go and fell onto him.

Sesshomaru sat up and glared at Serenity. "You need a babysitter...I'm gonna regret this, but..." he said as went to open the front door. When he opened it the same girl was waiting on the front steps. "You, human girl. I need you to watch my little sister" he said. The girl smiled and nodded.

"Sure thing, anything for you Sesshomaru-sama !" she cheered. "What's you name ?" Serenity asked, "Its Kei ! Who are you ?" the girl asked. "Her name is Serenity, and you better watch her as if your life depended on it !" Sesshomaru growled. "Yes Sesshomaru-sama" Kei said. "Good" he said as he left.

"You're the cutest thing !" Kei cried as she picked Serenity up and hugged her tightly. "I can't breathe !" Serenity gasped. "Oops, sorry !" Kei said as she put Serenity down. "This is going to be a long day..." Serenity thought.

Meanwhile, Vesha ran down the street with her guitar in hand. "Wherever you are little girl, I'm gonna find you. I'm not through with you yet !" she thought before cackling with insane laughter.
