AN:

Lady Fiona: OMG I'm soooooo Sorry! You see my computer went kaput and I lost the file. This story is actually very much done! I promise I'll update this each week until it is finished!

Lady Shard: yeah and I didn't have the revised copies for the updates either. Goes off to cry

Disclaimer: We do not own Inuyasha and gang. But we do own Touya and Kokonomaru. Starts chasing the men down the hall.

Touya and Kokonomaru: HELP!

"Argh!" She turned to look at her captor. She blushed. "Oh, it's you."

"What are you doing?" asked Kokonomaru

"Snooping. Nasty habit I picked up from my father." Replied Nai

"I see."

Kokonomaru had gone quiet after that and Nai continued her search. She opened the door to Sasha's room. She gaped in awe at all the strange objects in her room. Kokonomaru walked past her and picked up the guitar sitting on the ground. He sat on the bed. Nai walked over to him.

"What's that?"

"I believe it's a guitar. Sasha had told me about it in her letters. She also drew pictures for me. So from what I remember this looks like that picture."

"Oh, I remember now. She was so excited about it. She said she was going to practice it every day. I remember thinking it was some kind of strange weapon and when I asked her, she laughed at me. I didn't think you can laugh in a letter but she did I tell you."

Kokonomaru chuckled. Nai blushed. She liked the sound of his laugh. She sat down close to him.

Maybe this is it. I'll finally be able to tell him how I feel.

"That's Sasha alright. I asked my mother about a guitar and she had gotten teary eyed. Worried me a bit but she explained later that she played guitar when she was younger too."

"It sounds fun." She said sitting down next to him. He looked at her and grinned.

"It's a fairly strange object. Sasha said that it played music. But I don't see how?"

"Maybe if you tap it? Like the villagers do in the festivals?" Nai tapped the side of the guitar. No loud sound came from it.

"Hmm. I wonder if the strings have something to do with it?" Said Kokonomaru.

"Let's see. " Nai ran her fingers stroking the strings down the neck of the guitar. It made a raspy noisy but it wasn't music at least not to their ears.

"Let me try the other way." Said Kokonomaru. Nai had gotten closer to him to better see him stroke the strings.

Strumming his fingers down the strings the guitar sang to life. Nai squealed at the lovely sound it made. She had gotten very close to Kokonomaru in order to see the guitar more closely.

"Koko-kun? Can I try?" asked Nai

"Nope." He said teasing her. Placing the guitar farther away from her.

"Oh c'mon Koko. Let me?" Reaching for the guitar.

"Nada." Putting the guitar higher above his head so she couldn't reach.

Nai made a grab for the guitar and wound up falling. Falling right into Kokonomaru's lap. Nai blushed bright red. She couldn't believe that she had fallen into the prince's lap.

"S-sorry." Said Nai

The door to the room suddenly opened. Sasha came springing in. She looked at the two on her bed. She raised her eyebrows and grinned.

"You know it's kind of rude to be doing that sort of stuff in a family members room Koko-Chan. But hey do what ever. Ah there's my guitar. You guys should come down, my band is here and we're going to play. Of course after you're done with what ever you've been doing." Sasha snickered and grabbed her guitar out of Kokonomaru's hand.

"Tohru-kun Yuki-kun, Kyon Kyon! You all came!" yelled Rin racing over to Tohru.

"Don't call me that!" Yelled a pissed off cat.

"Of course Rin-san. Kagome-san wanted us to be here along with the others. They'll be here soon."

"Very good very good. Oh Tohru-kun you haven't met my husband yet have you?" asked Rin. "Well come on lets go introduce you."

They walked off together toward Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha. Leaving Yuki and Kyou to find their bearings.

"Uncle Yuki, Uncle Kyou? What are you doing here?" asked Sasha, her guitar in hand.

"Your mother invited us Sasha. Happy Birthday." Said Yuki

"Thanks, but with you being here that means that SHE will be here too." Said Sasha.

"I guess so runt." Said Kyou. Knowing fully well whom Sasha was talking about. He had stopped a few, dare I say it catfights between the two.

No sooner had she said that Bakane Souma and her new boyfriend had walked on the scene.

Sasha's heart had dropped. There was the boy she had really liked. The only boyfriend that was willing to give her strange, mainly her father, family a second chance. He didn't mind her less than enthusiastic attitude toward others. She had a perfect relationship with him. But for the life of her she couldn't figure out what she had done wrong and what Bakane had done right.

"Oh dear, I knew this party was going to be a drag." Scoffed Bakane.

"If it's so bad then why don't you go home?" Snapped Sasha. She really wasn't in the mood to deal with this conniving creature.

"Hmm. Don't thinks so. I believe it's perfect time to provoke you. After all it is your birthday and I have to give you a present this year."

"Oh really?" Sasha quirked an eyebrow at her.

"Oh, yes I'm quite proud of myself this year."

"Uh huh. So what is it?" asked Sasha sick of talking to her already.

"My present to you this year." Bakane laughed. " This year is the reminder that no matter how hard you try you will always remain alone. Oh, and a constant freak to boot. Men will always choose me over you any day."

Bakane laughed even harder as she walked away tugging a sympathetic ex-boyfriend with her.

"I'm sorry…" he mouth at her.

Sasha watched them walk away unbeknownst to her that somebody was watching the whole scene.

"Hey runt, don't let her get to you. She's been hanging out with Akito for too long." Said Kyou.

Sasha looked at her mother's cousin. Out of the entire Sohma family, he and Yuki were her favorites. They were much more down to earth than any of the others.

"Thanks Uncle Kyou. If you excuse me I need to warm up my guitar." She said.

"Sure thing."

Sasha walked away from Kyou and Yuki. She wanted to be alone. Depression had begun to settle in. She walked to the gazebo in her front yard, far away from the partygoers.

"Stupid Bakane. Why'd she even have to have to be born?" Sasha sniffled.

So much for the tough act.

She reached the gazebo and sat on the bench. She put the guitar in her lap and began to tune the strings.

"What on earth where they doing to this guitar?" she smiled happy for her few friends.

She continued tuning it until it sounded right to her ears, unaware of the figure slowly approaching her. She began to sing, strumming her guitar.

I wake from my sleep and face the day,

But I have to hope to reach you someday,

I cannot go on take other steps,

'cause my way's not easy to go.

No, even I do really wanna see you,

I need to take my time,

Spend some days alone, being be myself, will be all I do

If, does exist an everlasting love in which I could believe,

I got hurt because, I was very awkward

Know it but I don't want no losing, no!

Thinking of you made me cry, so my eyes

They were filled with tears and all I got

Is my will to be with you again.

Thinking of you made cry, so many times

The only thing left in this song was you

And I have my will to be with you someday...

(Inuyasha MY WILL Performed by Dream)

Sasha's eyes began tearing up.

No Sasha, Bad girl you can't cry about this.

"Hey, "

Sasha jumped. Not realizing that she had an audience. She turned and saw Touya.

"What do you want?" asked Sasha wiping her eyes.

"How is it a beautiful female such as yourself be sitting alone when she has a family gathered out back?"

"None of your business. You wouldn't understand. "

"What? Understand the feeling of wanting someone for so long and having them ripped away from you before you can act on it?" asked Touya. "Because believe me I know how that feels. "

"You heard the song?"

"Yeah, and I also heard that alpha female wannabe remarks. Sasha, don't listen to her. She's nothing in the looks department."

Sasha snorted. "Okay then Mr. Smarty Pants answer this then. Why has every guy that I dated dumped me and gone after her."

"Well, I don't know them personally but I'd say they're nothing sort of horny minor demons."

Sasha looked at him for a second she forgot that he was from the feudal era. She began laughing. Touya raised an eyebrow at her. Sasha was laughing so hard that she had to put her guitar down and grabbed her sides.

"Ok I don't get it what's so funny?"

"Oh, I had forgotten that you were from the feudal era. So when you said horny minor demons you had me confused for a second."

"I'm also a demon. Sasha, I can smell what her secret is. I can tell you she's not…."

"STOP! Don't even go there. I don't want to know!" squirmed Sasha.

Touya laughed. Sasha smiled.

"Well, we've never had a civil conversation. This is nice."

Touya narrowed his eyes. Ha sat next to her, leaned over to her ear.

"What I think would be nicer, is that I bend you over that railing over there and make you mine." He said licking the outer shell of her ear.

Sasha turned beat red. Touya smirked and walked back to the party.

Oh My God! Does he… no way… Him? I thought he hated me?

She then remembered something her mother had told her in second grade.

"Mama there's this boy at school that won't stop pulling my hair."

Kagome laughed. "Dear that's how a boy shows you his affection."

That boy Sasha was talking about had turned out to be her best guy friend later on.

"So that means all that pulling on my ears and teasing me was Touya's way of showing affection?"

What? Understand the feeling of wanting someone for so long and having him or her ripped away from you before you can act on it? Because believe me I know how that feels

"He liked me then? So all this time I've been ignoring him he's been pinning after me?"

Sasha got up and walked back to her party in better spirits then she had been before.

When she got there she noticed that she had more family and friends there. Who needed to be depressed? Not when she had a group of wonderful friends.

"Sasha you ready for you debut to your family?" asked Daisuke.

"Damn Straight Daisuke-kun" Sasha grinned. "I'm going to show that bitch whose boss."

"Right on milady!"

They all gathered on stage. Sasha waited for her band to warm up their instruments. She scanned the crowd. Her eyes caught the icy green of Touya's eyes. He looked straight into her soul.

Something inside of Sasha screamed. Go to him! Go to him. Run to him. Submit to him. You're his for the taking! Touya smirked. He licked his lips. Her eyes followed every movement of that pink tongue. Her body flashed back to the sensations she received when that very same tongue had traced the outer shell of her ear.

And make you mine… his words echoed in her mind.

Lady Shard: Is it hot in here or is it just me?

Lady Fiona: laughs. Aren't touya and konohomaru gorgeous? Eyes the demons tied up to the chairs with unicorn hair.
