iNuOTpIe-Yup! I love torturing them and I like making Yasha act sweet. Though I do have to add in other people's thoughts too.

Tim-All I have to say is nice going! Thank you for reviewing though.

Gem: I now have two reviewers! I'm excited!

Kagome: Gem sorta got stuck on this story but now she's updating.

Gem: I only own myself and my ideas! Plus, this is going to be a Sesshy-centered chapter. I can't just forget about him! This chapter also goes back in time a bit. It's still September in this chapter. Also, more Sesshomaru OOCness.

Sesshomaru walked to work that weekend since he needed the money for school. He also didn't have a car which was a downside. He wouldn't have to leave so early. Jaken was watching Rin and making sure that the young girl did her homework. He had hated to leave her at home where she couldn't ask him for help. As he walked into the little shop, a girl approached from the back. Sesshomaru almost immediately recognized her scent. He had no idea that Kat worked here.

"Dom, Sesshomaru's here!" she called back.

Sesshomaru went around the counter until he was behind it. He listened as Kat explained a few things that she knew before Dom emerged. It turned out that she would be training him on the register and occasionally cooking. Dom would teach him how to cook later that week.

"You need a ride home?" Kat asked as they did the mountain of dishes. "I'm gonna guess that since ya have no car, ya walked."

Sesshomaru wondered if he should take her up on her offer. It would be a lot faster and she was done a half hour after him. He supposed it wouldn't hurt but he also knew that he would need to inform Rin and Jaken.

"Yes, please."

"Ya might wan' ta call home now before we get another rush. It's happened the last few Saturdays."

Sesshomaru nodded and picked up the phone. The first time it rang, he literally jumped and then stared at Kat as she giggled at him and picked up the phone. He'd also watched as Gabi picked up the phone when it clearly didn't ring. It turned out that the back door had a loud bell somehow attached to it. Kat had giggled at this one too. Why did she find so many things that funny? He shook that thought out of his head and waited for someone to pick up. It turned out Rin had learned how to use the phone because the first thing he heard was "Hi Sesshomaru-sama!" He suppressed a grin and told Rin everything she needed to know and to pass the information to Jaken. (a/n my friend actuallly did that once with the doorbell)

Kat was up front again helping another customer and Gabi was out cleaning tables. He watched as Gabi pocketed the money someone left on the table. Were they even allowed to do that here? The phone rang again and he picked it up this time. He still wasn't used to the English but Kat was helping him with this too.

He awkwardly balanced the phone on his shoulder while trying to write down the information provided. He also found it weird how easily some of these words fit into a native English speaker's words. Vaguely he noted that Kat didn't find it funny that she shortened hot dogs to dogs.

Dom looked back at him and nodded which really confused him. What Sesshomaru didn't expect was for Kat to be so darn close when he turned around to ask what was meant of the nod. He helped her steady the pile of trays before she told him that Dom had signaled that Sesshomaru could "clock out." The time had gone by really fast and he'd actually made a few tips. He decided to save that money rather than buying some lunch with it. He sat down in one of the booths to wait for Kat to finish her shift.

Sesshomaru was still surprised that Kagome was here. It would explain why she was wearing such odd clothing in the Feudal Era. The people here didn't seem to mind extremely revealing clothing including the people who chose to wear it. He had watched Kat and Kagome come out of Kat's house one morning in loose pants and camisoles. As far as he could tell, neither girl cared that they were fairly exposed.

"Are ya ready ta go?"

Sesshomaru snapped out of his daydream and nodded.

"'Kay then. Le's go."

He got out of the booth and followed her out the door. She had pulled a set of keys from her pocket and was trying to find the right key. It finally occurred to him that he had no idea which car was her's. They approached a little silver car that had the front seat pushed up very far. He noticed that he had to wait for her to unlock his side of the car which was very odd for him. Kat slid in and turned on the car. Almost immediately "Brand New World" started playing and she started singing to it. He was surprised that even though she didn't know a whole lot of Japanese she was still willing to sing in it. The windows and sun roof also got put down. Sesshomaru watched how she worked the car in case he would have to drive for any reason. Kat pulled into her driveway and turned the car around. Sesshomaru then remembered that he was supposed to come over to study around the same time she said she got off of work.

"I will go change and then come over."

"Okay. I'll see you in a few then."

Sesshomaru nodded and got out of the car. This tiny girl amazed him with how trusting she was.

"Almost like Rin. She didn't judge me or even think that I was going to kill her. Rather, she is trying to be my friend."

Sesshomaru unlocked the door to his house and was almost tackled by a small body. He allowed himself a smile as he leaned down and picked Rin up in his only arm. She automatically shifted her weight so he could carry her better.

"She almost feels like my own daughter, sitting in my arm. I wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn't saved her."

"Sesshomaru-sama? What are you thinking about? I can't read your eyes right now."

"Something I should have thought about a long time ago Rin."

"Like what? I already know that you saved me."

Sesshomaru smiled and then realized that Rin would be able to understand. Perhaps he could quit fighting his brother. It would be a nice change.

"I was unable to save my own brother's childhood. He was forced to grow up too fast. You reminded me of him in a way. I wanted to see a child grow up normally."

Rin smiled and hugged him before she started to undo the buttons of his shirt. She was a very bright and perspective child. She hadn't been scared of Sesshomaru and maybe that's what had also compelled him to save the child.

"It was not considered proper for me to associate with my brother. But there have been several people in my life who've helped me see my mistake. I was unable to save Inuyasha's childhood but I found another. Kat has also taught me to cherish what family I have left. It may not be much but still, some family is better than none."

Rin had finished unbuttoning his shirt and then left. He continued to undress and then went to go find some suitable clothes for a Saturday study session.

"I hate buttons. And where did I put the shirt I decided to wear today? Oh, I put it on my chair so I wouldn't forget it. I'm beginning to think too much."

Sesshomaru finished getting changed and threw his dirty work clothes in the hamper. He picked up his book bag and walked downstairs. Rin was waiting by the door with her own bag and a large smile on her face. He felt his lips twitch up in a small smile as Rin grabbed his hand. He wondered why he had never felt this way towards anyone until Rin came along. She seemed excited to go down only a few houses.

"I never thought that the day would come when I'd have someone to love and cherish. Once I find a way back to the Feudal Era, I'm going to quit fighting with Inuyasha. It will be for the best."

He smiled a bit bigger smile and watched as Rin skipped on ahead of him.

Gem: Sorry this is so short but I'm having lots of issues with Sesshy being involved.

Kagome: Please R and R. The next chapter will focus on more than one person.
