Amaya and Sesshoumaru burst into the kitchen a few minutes later. Both surprised by what they saw.

Amaya's step-mother stood on a chair in the center of the room, staring at the floor. Amaya turned her eyes from her step-mother to the floor and let out a loud squeal of surprise.

On the floor was a tiny, brown mouse.Amaya backed away slowly,staring hard at it, as if wishing that it would go 'POOF' and dissapear. Her step-mother was still wimpering and trying to tell Sesshoumaru to kill it, but by the look on his face he didn't understand. He looked over at Amaya, silently asking her what her mom wanted.

"Kill it you moron!" Amaya shouted.

"Uh, before I do that," Sesshoumaru chuckled as Amaya triped over the chair behind her. The one he had been just about to warn her about." Never mind."

With his black boot he strechted out his leg and squased the mouse under his foot.

"Oh," Amaya moaned, looking at the dead, bloody mouse on her kitchen floor.

" Amaya, Sesshoumaru why don't you two go upstairs... Amaya you have school in the morning, and you can't miss it. Your exams are coming up you know," Amaya's step-mom said with a smile. " I'll go find your father to clean up this mess."

Sesshoumaru turned and walked up the stairs, Amaya following him.

"So you are educated." Sesshoumaru was sitting on Kagome's bed about a hour later, questioning Amaya about practically everything in the room.

"Of course," Amaya smiled over at him. " Everyone here in this era are."

"Huh."

Sesshoumaru fell silent. The only noise in the room was that of Amaya's pen scratching across the paper she was writing on. Sesshoumaru was staring around the room, taking everything in.

In Sesshoumaru's opinion, Amaya was alot like his father. She enjoyed the company of humans but she, even if she didn't know it, was very powerful. She was also cold and angry at times. But,unlike his father,she seemed kind of sarcastic. Hell, she even looked like him.

Her long, silver hair resmbled that of the Inutaishou. She also had the same cool, amber eyes. And when she had picked up the Tenseiga earlier, even thought she hadn't noticed, it had called out to her. It had reconized her soul.

"Sesshoumaru..." Amaya was waving her hand in front of his face, draging out his name each time she said it. "Sesshoumaru..."

"Get your hand out of my face,Bitch,before I hurt you,"

"Whatever." Amaya snaped rudely. She looked as though she was about to slap him, but decided not to.

Turning she stormed out of the room.

'What did I say?' Sesshoumaru thought to himself. Shruging he looked out the window, thinking of how much this women seemed to be growing on him. She reminded him indefinitely of both Rin and his Father.

Amaya walked outside, trying to think of something to do. Something to burn this anger off on. She thought of grandpa, it was always fun to annoy him. Her being a demon, he was extremly paraniod around her. He'd get all nervous and sweat would start to run down the side of his face. Once, Amaya smiled as she remebered this, he had angered her greatly and her eyes had turned red. It has scared the hell out of him!

Chuckling to herself she went out back to the shed where she heard noises. Entering it with great caution, she found that it was only her dad sharpening a long sword. The sword was almost as tall as him.

"Hi, Dad." Amaya smiled lightly and sat down across from him. She didn't know why, but being around him almost always made her happy.

"Hi, hunnie," He replied in a light and cheery voice. " I have something for you."

"What?" Amaya asked, sounding excited.

"This," Her father held up the sword he had been sharpening. " Its for you. With you going back to the Feudal era and all. Sesshoumaru can't, and probably doesn't want to, protect you all of the time. So you can have this. Its name is Katsu. It will protect you in times of need."

"Wow," Amaya breathed, taking the sword from her fathers hands. It was as tall as her and a little heavy, but not to bad. Her father also handed her a long ribbon, like that of Sesshoumaru. It was long and pink with white flowers. He also handed her a brand new Kimono. It was dark blue with half moons on it.

Helping her into it, he laughed at how big the sword was to her and how clumsly she handled it.

"You'll get used to it afetr a while."

"Ok..."

"There, all done."

He stood back to look at his daughter. She stood tall and proud. She wore the half moon kimono and the pink ribbon with pride. The sword was tucked into the ribbon and practically touched the ground beneath her feet. The kimono's colours brought out the colour of her amber eyes and silver hair.

"I want you to always where this..for me that is."

"I promise."

Turning Amaya walked back to the house, feeling much better.

Sesshoumaru looked up, surprised, as Amaya walked in. She wore a dark blue kimono with half moons. It had a pink ribbon with white flowers to. She also wore a long sword at her side. She didn't look as angry as she had when she had left.

"Hello" Her voice was cool. She was still mad.

"Hello."

"I must go to sleep. You must be quiet, I have school tomorrow."

"Alright." Sesshoumaru retreated to a corner and settled down as Amaya turned off the lights."Goodnight."

"Goodnight."
