Hikaru- San: Remember, I own nothing… except the OC characters…and if I did… then

1. I would be one wealthy girl

2. I wouldn't be writing fan fiction, I would be busy making and publishing manga… though I'll get there eventually…

Any who… I'll shut up and let you read… tee hee I talk too much.

"Ok… I have no idea what to do for that room…" Sayuri said, pointing at the picture of the room in question that Karei was trying to hold steadily for her mother.

"If you're clients weren't so darn picky…" 16 year old Rin muttered.

"Those are the Hiltons for you…" Sayuri replied.

"Mommy, my arms are tired…" Karei said, as her small arms were starting to shake.

"Ok… cookie break…" Sayuri said.

Karei gently place the giant photo down, knowing that it was valuable for her mom's work, and reached for the cookie tray. Only, she was stopped when a pair of mysterious arms picked her up.

"WHOA!!!!" Karei cried out in surprise.

"Oh my god! Rei- chan! You've gotten so big!" Lili said, trying to squeeze the life out of Karei.

"We're here…" Ryusei said, knowing that it was pointless.

"Nice to see you two…" Sayuri said, trying to get up from the piles of sketches and fabrics.

"Lili!" Rin said, running over to give Lili a hug after she released Karei.

Lili has been going to Berkley and comes back to Japan every chance she got. This time, it was a little more permanent because Chiyo hired her as an intern for the next semester in the fashion department for the Satome line. (a/n: Sayuri and Chiyo use their maiden names for their fashion/ interior business)

"I knew I smelt trouble…" Sesshomaru muttered, as he entered the living room. Lili automatically ran over and gave Sesshomaru a hug.

"Aw! Come on! Admit it! You're really happy to see me!" Lili teased, hoping to get at least a smirk.

"Fine… I'm really happy to see you. Excuse me while I go jump for joy…" Sesshomaru said, finally getting out of Lili's death grip and went into the kitchen.

"Wow… still a kill joy?" Lili asked sarcastically.

"Only when you're around…"Sayuri said with a smile. "You're happy enough for everyone.

"Well you know… I try…" Lili said.

"Sae, are you really going to go in that?" Ryusei asked, pointing at Sayuri's oversize button up shirt. She better not, especially for what he had planned tonight.

"Good god no! I'm wearing this…" Sayuri quickly unbuttoned the shirt and revealed a cashmere halter, with a beaded skirt.

Sesshomaru just walked out at the time, only to turn around again to find a rag for his bleeding nose. (Yes Sesshomaru gets nose bleeds too…. Lol)

"What's with him?" Sayuri asked, making Lili and Ryusei laugh harder.

"Ok… Rin! Karei!"

"Yeah?" Rin replied.

"Remember, you two are on your own tonight. Remember the rules?"

"Let's see, keep Rei- chan from sugar…. Make sure she gets to bed on time, don't stay up too late, keep doors locked, don't invite any one in… I pretty much got it!"

"And don't forget to call if there's trouble." Sayuri said, kissing Rin on the forehead.

"No problem…"

"Oni-chan! Why can't I come!?" Karei said, while Ryusei carried her on his shoulders.

"Because… dad said so…" Ryusei said, handing her over to Sesshomaru.

"Please can I come? I'll be good!"

"Then who's going to make sure that Rin stays out of trouble?" Sesshomaru said.

"Fine I'll stay home…" Karei said glumly.

"Brighten up and smile sweetie… guess where we're going this weekend?" Sayuri said, bending down to look her daughter in the eye.

"Where?"

"To see grandma and grandpa in America…"

"Really!?"

"Yup… make sure you get to bed on time, kay?"

"Kay!" Karei said, hugging her mother.

"Ok… let go before we're late." Sesshomaru said, handing Sayuri her jacket.

"You two be good now!"

"We will…" Rin and Karei said, both crossing their fingers behind their backs.

"I saw that…" Sayuri said without even looking at the two.

When the adults were gone, Rin and Karei raced for the HD TV in the living room.

"If I beat you first thing in DDR, I stay up as long as I want!"

"We'll see Rei- Chan!"

"I wonder what Rin and Karei's up to…" Kagome said to Inuyasha.

"Rei- chan's probably kicking ass at DDR…." Inuyasha snickered, remembering his last attempt at trying to beat the six year old.

"Dad! Come on! You still have to play me!" Akane shouted from the living room, gripping her guitar controller for her Guitar Hero II game (a/n: A hell of a lot of fun!)

"I'm off…" Inuyasha said, leaving Kagome smirking in the kitchen.

He still doesn't know…

(A Few Hours Later)

"Rei… it's 8:30…" Rin groaned.

"Don't break the deal!" Karei said with an evil smirk.

Rin sighed. 500 rounds of DDR later and Karei was still kicking butt. Never challenge a six year old at video games. Ryusei better make sure Lili said yes for the hours of torment that she went through tonight.

Then a crash was heard upstairs. The alarm started to go off.

Karei stopped bouncing on the mat and stared with wide eyes at Rin.

"Karei, go hide…" Rin said. Karei made no hesitation and went to find a hiding spot.

Rin tried to find something to use as a weapon. The fire place poker was going to half to do. Rin gripped the poker tightly. Whoever it was, they were not going to hurt her or her sister. Rin held her breath as the alarm stopped and the stairs started to creek.

Then, a hand reached out from behind her, covering her mouth.

Karei watched in horror as her sister was taken down, but knew better than to make a single sound.

Rin, remembering her self defense lessons from Ryusei, tried the SING technique (remember Miss Congeniality? Lol) , elbowing his stomach, poking his eyes, slamming the bottom of her hand to his nose, and tries to kick his pride and joy, but only got punched in the gut before making her final move. All the air was knocked out of her and the man held her in a position where he could break her neck if he wanted to.

"Easy Hakudoshi…." A female voice said. A woman with short purple hair and blue eyes entered the room. She was six feet tall, and dressed all in black, with a bunch of gadgets connected to her belt.

"We only came for the little one…." She said, smiling at Rin, showing off her fangs.

"Where's the brat?" the man said, clutching Rin tighter, making her lose her breath.

"You better speak up, sweetie. He wouldn't mind snapping you in half."

Rin remained silent. She saw out of the corner of her eye that Karei was perfectly hidden behind the heater vent. The dragon demoness slapped Rin.

"Where is Tashio's heir!?" the woman shouted, now getting impatient.

"She…. She's not here!" Rin said, her cheek turning red from the impact.

The demoness glared to Rin. She started to toss the furniture aside, in an attempt to find Karei. Karei flinched as the furniture made the hard contact with the floor in landing.

"Tie the woman up, and help me find that little bitch…" the demoness said.

The man pulled out some nylon rope, and tied Rin's ankles and wrist. But he did it so tight that small amounts of blood were oozing out of the cuts.

"Rin… chan…" Karei whispered, but then covered her mouth. The demon's ear twitched. He walked over to the heater vent, stared at it for a minute, then tore it out of the wall.

Karei screamed as he pulled her out.

"I found her!" Hakudoshi said triaphently.

"No! Let me go!" Karei cried, trying to get out of his grasp.

"Then we came for all we needed." The demoness said.

"But Ryuka, what about the teenager?"

Ryuka glared at Rin, who was trying to tell them to stop passed the gag.

"How else is Tashio suppose to know that his daughter's been taken?" she said, as she headed towards the door, where the get away van was.

Hakudoshi, meanwhile, covered Karei's head with a black sack and bond her wrist together with the rope, care as to not injure her because of orders. He toss her on his shoulders and followed Ryuka.

"Rin- Chan!" Karei screamed, before the engine started and the van disappeared.

10 minutes later, the police arrived, but too late.

"This has been nice!" Lili said. "It's been a while since you took me to a five course restaurant, Ryu- chan!"

Ryusei turned red a little at the nickname that Lili gave him since third grade.

Sayuri and Sesshomaru couldn't help but smirk.

"It's just really nice to see you again…" Ryusei said, avoiding eye contact.

"So… I heard you're going to graduate soon." Sayrui said to Lili, changing the subject.

"Yup! Just do this internship with Chiyo- San, and I have all my credits to graduate!" Lili said with a smile.

"That's sounds like a good deal…" Sesshomaru said, never taking his eyes off of Ryusei. Ryusei was figiting with something in his pocket.

"Ryu- chan, is everything ok?" Lili asked, a little concern.

"Um… yeah…"

Sayuri and Sesshomaru leaned in a little closer, something was up.

"Quit figiting then!" Lili said cheerfully, while waving a hand at Ryusei.

"I… I just don't know how to ask you this…"

"Ask me what?"

Sayuri's eyes then narrowed in a knowing way. She got the idea what was going on. Lili didn't notice.

"You know that we've been friends for a really long time right?"

"Since preschool… why is that suddenly coming up?" Lili asked.

Ryusei then got up from his chair, got down on one knee and took Lili's hand in his. Lili finally placed the pieces of the puzzle together.

"Oh… my… god…."

"Lili, will you marry me?"

Sayuri and Sesshomaru lean in even closer. This was indeed an interesting night.

"yes!" Lili said, hugging Ryusei.

"So, that's what this big fancy thing is all about…" Sayuri said in a teasing manner, taking a sip of her wine. "And having the parents come with you totally altered all suspicions… why didn't your father think of that?"

Sesshomaru sighed.

"I kind of like the rain and the palm tree set up we had…"

Sesshomaru's cell phone suddenly vibrated. Sayuri glared at him.

"You promised…" she said.

"It's from home…" Sesshomaru said, as he excused himself from the table, and went into a separate room to answer the call.

"Hello?"

"Figures you would answer…" Inuyasha said.

"What do you want?" Sesshomaru asked a little impatiently. It was bad enough that Sayuri thought it was a business call.

"You're not going to like it…"

"I'll take my chances…"

"oh my! It's pretty!" Lili said, at the small diamond ring Ryusei placed on her finger.

"But I really like yours, Sayuri- san… it looks just like that lotus ring that Harry Winston released a few years ago."

Sayuri took a look at her wedding ring. The small lotus bloom of a diamond sparked in the light reflecting off it.

"Actually… it is the Harry Winston…"

"No way!"

"Yup… I'm too spoiled for my own good."

"sae…" Sesshomaru said, walking back to the table. "We have to go…"

"Go where?" Sayuri asked suspiciously.

"I think that Ryusei and Lili would like to be alone…" he said, emphazizting the think and alone.

Sayuri could tell that the tone of voice he used meant that something a really wrong.

"Ok…" she said getting up.

"You two behave now!" Sayuri said, putting on the happy demeanor.

Then she and Sesshomaru left.

Ryusei and Lili looked at each other blankly.

"Wait ten minutes then follow them?" Lili suggested.

"Sounds like a plan…" Ryusei said.

The police cars surrounded the Tashio home. Sayuri was now in a panicked state.

As soon as Sesshomaru placed the car into park, Sayuri bolted out of the car and into the house.

"Rin! Karei!" she shouted.

"Sae…. Calm down…" Sesshomaru said, pulling his wife close. The house was a wreck. Everything was turned upside down. Rin and Inuyasha were in the living room, while the officer was trying to talk to Rin while being constantly interrupted by other officers.

"Rin…"

Rin looked up to find her parents at the doorway. She jumped up from her seat and embraced Sesshomaru.

"Dad! I tried! I really did!" Rin sobbed.

"What happened?" Sayuri asked, afraid of the answer. " and where's your sister?"

"There… there was a crash upstairs…. And two demons came down. I tried to fight them off but… but…"

"It's ok Rin…" Sesshomaru said, smoothing out her hair.

"no it's not dad! It's my fault! Karei's gone!" Rin cried.

All color in Sayuri's face drained. Rin continued to cry into Sesshomaru's chest.

"Karei…" Sayuri said quietly. She suddenly bolted upstairs. Sesshomaru followed, leaving Rin with Inuyasha.

Sayuri kept on opening rooms. Her child couldn't have been kidnapped. She finally stopped in Karei's room. But the little girl was no where to be found.

"No!"

Sesshomaru ran to Sayuri's side and embraced her, while she cried.

Hikaru-San: Did ya see that one coming… (Tapes shikonprincess15's mouth shut to prevent from answering) anyway… this sequel is turning out more exciting than the original story. A little weird… but who cares really?
