(A.N. Ok answer this question for me. If 25 people have me on their author alert list then why did I only get one review last chapter? I mean really. I put a lot of work into this story. And I know it's not the best, but I'm only 14. Perfection is not expected. I'm sure I'll get better as time goes on. Anyway, I hope I get more reviews for this chapter. I'm also in the process of writing a one shot. It's only for a laugh at Kikyo's expense but I think it's a good idea. Oh and happy Valentines Day. /mumbles about retarded guys and not having a valentine/ REVIEW RESPONSE...

drvnkrazee: I'm starting to get tired of this story. I think I might force plot into it somehow just so I can find an end. I was bored so I added a new character.

Disclaimer/yawns/ Do I gotta? Ok ok fine I don't own anything except the three boxes I am currently living out of. And my mom is going to take those away too!)

/Kagome's POV/

'I'M HUNGRY!' My stomach protests as it growls at me. Is it really my fault that I am still at Sesshomaru's house? Ok maybe I still am not doing as good at math as I want to but is it really necessary for me to be tutored anymore?

My stomach growls again and this time Sesshomaru stops showing me how to do a certain problem and raises an eyebrow at me. Why did that just send shivers down my spine? No I can not like Sesshomaru! No possible. No way. Why am I smiling at him! No bad Kagome! Bad bad Kagome!

Was that a half smile? Sesshomaru lord of meanness just smiled at me! Why do I feel so giddy? NOT GOOD!

As soon as the smile on his face was there is was gone. "You are hungry."

/Sesshomaru's POV/

What possessed me to make me smile at her? I wipe the smile off of my face and state the obvious.

"You are hungry." Maybe she'll just forget I smiled at her...

/Kagome's POV/

There is no way I'm going to forget that smile. It might not happen again. But it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen...

"SESSHOMARU!"

I see a six year old little girl run into the room. She is adorable! She has big brown eyes and some of her hair is in a pony tail on the side of her head. Sesshomaru's eyes get a little wider, you wouldn't notice if you weren't looking at him. Which reminds me. Why am I looking at him!

"Rin." Sesshomaru says in acknowledgement. A woman with the same wide brown eyes as Rin walks into the room.

"I'm sorry I had to drop her off so early, Sesshomaru. I have to take some over time. I'm short on money. I hope you don't mind. I see you have company over." When she says that she winks in my direction. Then she continues talking. "Rin's father still isn't paying child support but you will have your paycheck. And I'll pay you for the extra time you will baby sit today." She ends with a cheerful smile at Sesshomaru as she walks out the door.

"Sooo... You baby sit?" I say conversationally. He glares at me. I grin back. Then Rin says

"Who is the pretty lady? Do you baby sit her too?"

"I help her with school." Sesshomaru says in his indifferent voice but I can almost here his voice soften when he talks to Rin...

Rin smiles a huge heartwarming smile at me. "Will pretty lady play with Rin at the park? Sesshomaru takes Rin to the park but Sesshomaru won't play." Then she whispers in my ear "I think Sesshomaru is afraid of the flowers."

She talks so cute! I can see Sesshomaru frown at the flower comment but he doesn't say anything. Maybe flowers just hurt his sensitive nose? I almost laugh when the mental picture of Sesshomaru running away from Rin when she tries to give him flowers. But my stomach yet again growls.

Rin looks at me and says "Will pretty lady have a picnic with Rin at the park?" I think she can tell Sesshomaru is about to protest so she looks at him with huge puppy dog eyes and says "Please?"

I can see him trying to resist but who could? He finally gives in and says "Ok Rin."

I mentally cheer. I get food! YAY! Rin launches herself at Sesshomaru and hugs him. "Thank you Sesshomaru!"

He pries her off while I go into the kitchen shouting "Where do you keep picnic baskets!"

/Kagome's POV at the park/

We finally got lunch packed and got out of the house. It is just starting to get warmer out side. We're lucky we picked today to do this or we could have frozen to death.

Normally when I think of a park I think of a jungle gym and swings but this park is right next to the lake and has woods and fields of flowers surrounding it. I can tell that whoever made this park really thought about the best place to put it.

I lay out the picnic blanket, which is just a sheet, and set the picnic basket down. I open up the basket and set everything up. We just packed stuff to make sandwiches instead of making them at the house. Sandwiches tend to get soggy if you leave them in a plastic bag.

I look at Rin and ask her "What kind of sandwich do you want?"

"Peanut butter and jelly!" She says and smiles a big toothy grin. That's when I notice the teeth missing from her grin.

"When did you loose your teeth, Rin?" I ask happily not expecting the reaction I get.

She bows her head and says "Daddy made my teeth missing."

Sesshomaru looks surprised and then deadly. I myself am very mad. Her father did that to her? I decide not to jump to conclusions to quickly and ask her "You mean your dad helped you pull them out?" I sure hope that's the case...

Rin looks up at me her big brown eyes full of tears. And that is all the answer I need. I hug Rin to me tightly and rub her back. While Saying "Sesshomaru, tell her mother."

"Daddy said not to tell mommy! He said he would hurt Rin worse if she did!" Rin cries out and hugs me tightly.

I start rubbing her back again soothingly. "We need to tell your mom. We need to make him stop hurting you."

"Daddy says Rin deserves it for making mommy leave him." Rin says quietly

"You never deserve to be treated like that, Rin. No matter who says it." I say firmly to make sure Rin under stands.

/Sesshomaru's POV/

I can feel my eyes turning red. Who would dare to hurt someone under my protection? I fight against my demon blood and I see Kagome hugging Rin. Kagome looks right at me and says "Sesshomaru, tell her mother."

I can hear Rin objecting but I am already on my way towards the restaurant Rin's mother manages. I leave the car parked in the parking lot and instead I run as fast as I can. I will get there faster this way.

Soon I see the restaurant and her car. I slow down but I don't stop completely. I walk in and see her. I walk strait towards her calling her name. She looks at me, smiles, and then looks around me. Her face becomes worried. And she walks the rest of the way toward me.

"Where is Rin?" She asks worriedly

"She is with... a friend. I have some rather disturbing news to tell you."

"Is Rin ok!" She was getting more and more frantic.

"Yes and no. It seems that Rin is being abused by your ex husband."

Her eyes get incredibly wide at this, then fill with anger, then intense worry. "Can you take me to Rin?" She asks her many different emotions in her voice.

"Yes but we will have to drive your car. I ran here."

She nods and we exit the restaurant with everyone staring at us.

/Kagome's POV/

I notice Sesshomaru has left. Did he leave to get Rin's mother? As soon as I think that I hear a screeching noise that can only be made by a car slamming on it's breaks.

I see Rin's mother running towards us and them I glance at Sesshomaru. He seems to be in shock at the speeds that Rin's mother drove at. He then shakes his head and exits the car.

Rin's mother takes Rin from me and hugs her tightly. "Why didn't you tell me, Rin?"

By now they are both crying. And Rin says in a very small voice "Daddy said not to."

"Don't worry Rin. You won't have to see him again. We'll go to the police tomorrow. He will go to jail for this."

"Ok mommy."

I feel like I'm intruding on a private moment so I walk over to Sesshomaru.

"Can you take me home now?" I ask timidly

He only answers by nodding and he walks towards his car. I follow glancing back once towards the mother and daughter.

"You have to tell me if he goes to jail." I say as soon as we enter the car.

He nods again. And we drive off towards my house.

(A.N. Well I needed to have something happen. And I am very sorry it had to happen to Rin. Review please!)
