A/N: Hey! I'm back again and… I would like to get more of your opinions, suggestions and comments. Actually I already have the complete story… I just need to type it TT. If you still haven't noticed… I am a VERY LAZY person! Besides… ever heard of school! I had a really hectic schedule! Term paper here, mid terms there… etc. But it's over for now! Christmas break is so… indescribably great! Anyway, you can tell me what your expectations are and I'll try my best to meet them! Also I must warn you that Sesshoumaru can be a bit out of character -only when he thinks but nobody exactly knows what he thinks except for Rumiko Takahashi so you can't really call it out of character right? Yeah… I also need a Japanese name for a guy that starts with an S. If you know a good one, please tell me! And lastly… thanks for all your reviews! It motivates me to write more! yea yea! I know it's a cliché but it's true!

'Hmm… she hasn't change at all. Still the same old Kagome I knew.' He thought then he caught a sniff of her scent. 'But her scent changed… it became sweeter.' Sesshoumaru thought as he drifted off to sleep.

The two had been sleeping there on the couch for almost an hour but the Taisho couple still did not show up. But after a few minutes, Izayoi and Inutaisho arrived home. It was already eleven o'clock and they were both tired and wanted to go to bed right away. But their plans seem to be broken when they were stopped dead on their tracks when they saw their son currently sleeping on the couch with a girl on his left and arm wrapped around her waist. When they went nearer to get a closer look at the girl, they immediately recognized her even though it had been years since they last saw her. "It's Kagome!" Izayoi blurted out. "SHH! You'll wake them up." Inutaisho whispered. But it was too late. Sesshoumaru with his keen hearing started to stir up.'What is that noise! It's my first time to sleep so peacefully in years! Not that I'll admit it out loud.' He thought as he opened his eyes slowly. Then he saw a not so pleasant view of his dad and step-mom staring at him with wide eyes that showed utter shock. 'What are they staring at?' Sesshoumaru thought. 'I can't feel my left arm already and am I embracing something?' he thought as he realized that Kagome was sleeping right next to him. His eyes still remained emotionless though. And as he felt his parent's still lingering stare at him, he carefully unwrapped his arm around Kagome's frail form and slowly stood up. "When did you find Kagome?" Izayoi asked silently. "She happened to cross my way. I should drive her home now." Sesshoumaru said in a deadpan voice. "You should just let her stay here for the night, son. She looks really exhausted." Inutaisho told him in a hush tone. "But the guest rooms are still not ready… Where will she stay?" Izayoi asked, her voice distant while she thought of a solution.

'Why is the damn guest room not yet prepared! Isn't it suppose to provide a room for the night for a guest? What is its use if the unexpected guest can't stay there? What is the use for all the people flocking around the house if they can't even prepare a single room' he thought furiously as he made his way to his room carefully so that he won't stir up the 'luggage' he is carrying.

After awhile, he finally reached his room. It was a very huge one and looked like an apartment. Everything he ever needs is right here.

He carefully placed Kagome down on his bed and then tucked her in. 'I can't believe I have to sleep on the couch. She owes me a lot.' He thought as he hastily grabbed another pillow and blanket. His mind was already very hazy. He couldn't think well and was determined to get sleep as soon as possible, which is strange… he never really needed to get a lot of sleep. He was a demon. But he could ponder about that all day long tomorrow, ne? After all the preparation, he then went off to sleep instantly.

'That's funny… By now the sun should be disturbing me! It's rays always disrupt my sleep' she thought as her eyes slowly fluttered open. Then it hit her. Panic. 'Where am I? Why does this room look familiar…?' She got up hastily and tried to assess her surroundings. Then she remembered all the events that occurred yesterday evening. At least, most of the night while she was still conscious. She later realized that this was his room. She wondered where he slept and right on cue she saw him sleeping peacefully on the sofa. Guilt washed all over her quickly. 'Doesn't he feel cold?' she thought as she pulled the blanket, that was only up to his waist, up to his neck. After, she quickly went out of the room. She did not know that the youkai on the couch was wide-awake by the time she went near him.

He was so confused. Why did she do that? She only made things harder for him. She made it hard to control the emotions she had re-awakened. He had been there for a few minutes now, still as a statue. When he looked at his clock across the the sofa which he is currently accommodating, it was already 6 o'clock. He usually wakes up, if ever he slept, at 5 o'clock. Then he stood up and made his way to his bathroom to get all groomed.

By the time he was done taking a bath and changing, she in the mean time was still busy preparing breakfast. She had told all the servants to leave it all up to her. She was so engrossed in what she was doing, that she didn't notice the couple that went inside the kitchen. "Kagome! Glad to see you again!" she heard as she jumped around to see Izayoi walking towards her and smiling madly. "Me too." Kagome said as she tried to breath properly. 'She still hugs with a iron grip for her age' Kagome smiled more at the thought. Actually, Izayoi doesn't look old at all! She looks like she is in her early thirties. But you can't change the fact that she is older than that. "What are you doing here at this time of day anyway?" Inutaisho inquired. Kagome looked up at him when Izayoi released her from the iron grip. "Huh?", she wondered, "oh! I was preparing some breakfast for us. I wanted you guys to taste my special omelettes." The couple stole some wary glances over the stove. They knew that Kagome wasn't a great cook but decided to just brush it off. Everyone in the room failed to notice him stand by the door. Looking as bored as every. Sesshoumaru said, " Father, are you sure it is safe to eat the food she'll cook? Is it even edible?" Everyone turned around to look him. Kagome was fuming and bit back " Still sarcastic as ever huh? Well, you can eat air if you want." With that she huffed and turned her attention back to her omelette. Surprisingly, after that, breakfast went by smoothly. Everyone, even Sesshoumaru, had to admit that her cooking changed drastically. Then Sesshoumaru drove Kagome back to the Tokyo University dorm. The ride was full of awkward silence which both did not even bother to break.

"Oh come on!" she said while she looked for her keys to her room. After a few minutes the door suddenly burst open with a young student as old as Kagome staring at her. She had jet-black hair, which was up to her waist and had really dark brown eyes, which almost looks like black. A marking that clearly showed that she was a demon can be found on her right cheekbone. She had some hair that was up to her jaw, which is currently covering her marking. She met Kagome and Sango on the second week of school at the library. She had bumped into them while she was making her piled up home works because she had missed the whole first week of school and had to make up for it. Ever since then, they became fast friends. She found out that Sango, Kagome, Miroku, and Inuyasha were also new students like her so she often came along with them. She ate with the whole Inu-tachi at lunch and came over to Kagome and Sango's dorm room most of the time, where they often hanged out if they weren't with the guys. She also helps Kagome and Sango a lot in English. She seems to be an expert in the subject. But apparently, she didn't have the same class with the others. If they had a common subject, it's either she took a different time or had a different teacher. She is really quiet in her class, attentive and seemed like a goodie-two-shoes type but that is the total opposite of her! If you didn't know her well, you'll be shocked to know that she could curse all day long if she was in a bad mood. But she really is kind deep inside. And honestly, she is a bit of a mystery. She smiles a lot, has a great sense of humor and seems cheerful all the time but sometime Kagome could see that she has a fair amount of sorrow hidden behind her eyes. She never talked about her family and the gang knows nothing of her background except that she used to travel a lot with god knows whom. It's either she's lonely and misses her family or maybe even someone dear to her.

"Kagome! Where were you last night? Sango really got worried because you often called her when you won't come back but she told me that you never did so." She said and bellowed for Sango. "Gomen! I went to visit an old friend and I fell asleep waiting for them. They didn't wake me up and allowed me to sleep in." Kagome told the two and went to her room. Their dorm in the university was big. It even has a little kitchen and living room. While Kagome was in her room, the two just shared confused glances and shrugged.

It was a busy Monday morning and Sesshoumaru left home early to prepare to go to the university. When he woke up, he already found his uniform lying on the couch. 'Mom must have placed it there while I was still sleeping.' He thought as he went to his bathroom. When he was all set, he came down, told his father that he was leaving and bit his parents goodbye. He did not take breakfast because he was sure that when he went to the university, he would have to need a great amount of time trying to get to his class with all those human and demon females flocking around him. When he arrived at the school, he realized that his thought on the matter earlier was the understatement of the century. The school was overpopulated and much of the population was women. And that made really his day hard.

It was lunchtime and they were looking for a table. "Hey! Hana is sitting over there." Sango said as she hurriedly made her was through the thick crowd while trying not to drop her tray. "Hey thanks for looking for a table for us. Don't you want to eat or something?" Sango asked. Her curiosity got the best of her. "Nah… I'm not really hungry." Hana said as she reached in the pocket of her skirt and took out a white ribbon. 'Man is it hot today!' Hana thought as she placed the ribbon in between her mouth and started to pull her black tresses up. "If you're that hungry, then why don't you just eat?" a gruff voice filled with sarcasm interrupted her musings. "Yeah, I think I'll take your advice genius." Hana said as she kicked his foot. "Sarcastic like always. Just like Sesshoumaru." She grumbled. Hana's hair was now in a ponytail and the end of her hair was now twisted a bit. And even the half demon didn't even hear it. "Hey!" Inuyasha hollered. "Ne, where's Kagome-chan?" she said trying to ignore the loud mouth. "She said she was going to get her lunch in our room." Sango said. "Ah…" was all Hana said. "You look beautiful even with your hair is up in a messy ponytail Hana." Miroku said trying to hit on her. "Oh shut up Miroku! Sango will beating the crap out of you, and I'll beat the hell out of you."

Kagome ran all the way to her dorm room. 'The school should buy carts for students to ride in when going to the dorm! The campus is too big… well if your in a hurry to go to the dorm.' Kagome thought as she finally reached her destination panting really hard. When she got in, she hurriedly went to the kitchen counter and took the bento boxes. 'I am not gonna run all the was to the canteen.' Kagome thought as she stared at the boxes. She woke up early to make lunch and made sure to make extra incase anyone wants. On the way back, she passed by the area where a lot of cherry blossom trees were. No one spent lunchtime here even if it was a great place. Then it was when she spotted him, of all people, sitting under a huge tree. She wanted to ignore him and just be on her way but it was impossible. When she will pass she would be right in front of him and it's too late to go the other way now. With his senses, he would have noticed her minutes ago. So she mustered up all her courage and went to him. He was sitting there because he noticed not much people pass or even stay there and it was the perfect area where he could escape those regurgitative females. Then after a few minutes he heard someone coming. He didn't bother to move a muscle, kept his eyes closed and if it were one of those whores, he would take care of her once and for all. He heard the footsteps stop right in front of him and expected shrill voices. But he didn't hear any, only the rustling of leaves and the whoosh of the wind. So he opened his eyes only to drop dead at the sight. It was her. The girl who made his life complicated ever since Friday afternoon. She woke up dormant emotions within him and it irked him. "Hi." A timid voice interrupted his ponderings.

A/N: ok…it's done… so… who is this Hana and why does she know Sesshoumaru? A lover? Maybe… hahahaha Anyway, Hana is my original character. And if you really want to know, her hairstyle is like Aya's or Ceres' (Ayashi No Ceres anime) but black in color and straighter. Yeah and in the first scene I introduced her I didn't mention her name… It just seems to make it more thrilling. I think… :P Sesshoumaru is a bit out of character at the starting b'coz he's sleepy… Well see ya next time! Belated Merry Christmas and an advance Happy New Year!

Send me your reviews ok! I really love them :D
