Chapter 4

After an hour being home Sarah was playing with the gift that was left for him by Koga.

§flashback§

"Thanks for driving me home Mr. Takahashi!" Sarah told him.

"It was my pleasure Sarah-san, I'm glad to help." Sarah smiles to Mr. Takahashi.

"Hey Sarah-san? You know the present that Koga left you?" Sesshomaru asked her.

"Yea?" Sarah said in wonder.

"Well it just moved." They looked at the present on Sarah's porch, and sure enough, it moved. Sarah walked up to her porch and picked it up. It was heavy, like a brick was in it. Suddenly it started moving.

"So what do you think it is Sarah-Chan?" Sesshomaru said surprising her.

"AHH! Don't scare me like that Sessho-sama! Well I don't know what it could be. Might as well find out!" Sarah handed Sesshomaru the present for him to hold it for her. Sarah started to carefully open the top of the box. The more she lifted the top off, the more it moved. She finally lifted the top off and inside was, a rat, Sarah screamed and ran away from it.

§End flashback§

Sarah was inside cooking and thinking about how to kick Koga's ass for the rat. After she opened the box and saw the rat Sesshomaru covered the lid an took it to his father, who in turn was laughing his head off, and went to get Sarah who was on the side of the house wiping her hands on her skirt and swearing her head off about Koga being a total ass. He took her inside and told her that he would get a hold of his neck and hit him with everything he had until he was not recognizable. Sarah only said no that she was going to deal with him herself. Sesshomaru only nodded to her and said that he would see her the next day, they both said their goodbyes and left it at that. The phone started ringing and Sarah went to answer it.

"Hello?" She asked into the phone.

"Sarah! It's me! Me and my husband will be home late so why don't you make yourself something to eat and lock up the house OK Sarah?" A lady suddenly told her.

"Yes ma'am." Sarah replied to her

"Oh Sarah don't call me ma'am, call me mom!" The lady said again.

"Uh, OK ma'a- I mean mom." Sarah said feeling weird about it.

"Alright I'll see you in the morning bye!" Said her new mom.

"Bye!" Sarah hung up the phone. She started walking to the kitchen to make something to eat. She at that very moment she remembered the letter Koga that was with the rat, she walked back to the living room to get the letter, and she started reading the letter.

"Dear Sarah, I am sorry, I didn't know that you would be so hostile. But if we can start over maybe we can be friends. - Koga

Sarah finished reading the letter and was very angry. Koga was sorry but to give her a rat was something a boy shouldn't do.

'I'll definitely have to kick his ass now.' Thought Sarah.

"I'll make sure I hurt him real hard in front of his friends." Sarah tore the letter and threw it away. She walked into the kitchen to finish making her meal. After it was all done cooking she sat at the table and ate alone plotting the hurt she planned on for Koga. It was hours later when she felt better after her bath and she finished all her homework. The phone started ringing again and she quickly went to get it before going to bed.

"Hello Basho residence Sarah speaking. How may I help you?" Sarah answered more perky than ever, which made her think why she spoke that way, she only shrugged it off and waited for the person to talk.

"Sarah nee-Chan? It's me Rin." Rin said softly.

"Hi Rin. Do you need something? Is something wrong?" Sarah said started getting worried about why Rin was calling her.

"Um, Sessho-oni-Chan want to talk to you." She said softly.

"OK." Sarah said, she heard some rustling in the background.

"Sesshomaru speaking." He said.

"Hi Sessho-sama it's me Sarah. Is there something wrong?" Sarah said completely worried now.

"I'm bringing Rin over to your house." He said almost cold.

"Why?" she asked him.

"I'll tell you when I get there." He said to her.

"OK." Sarah hung up the phone and walked down stairs and waited for about 15 minutes until the door bell rang. She ran over to the door and opened it to find Sesshomaru with his eyes covered by his bangs standing with Rin in his arms half asleep.

"Sessho-sama! What happened!" she said worried.

"Sarah-Chan? You sound upset. Are you?" Rin asked said rubbing her eyes.

"Just a little Rin." Sarah said calming down to not get Rin upset.

"May we come in Sarah-Chan? I'm tired." She asked yawning. Sarah nodded and took Rin in her arms and headed to her room to lay Rin down for the night. Laying Rin down she thought about why she was suddenly brought here, turning the light off and leaving the door cracked for her when Rin called to Sarah.

"Sarah nee-chan? Can you make Oni-chan happy? I saw him crying on our way here." Sarah nodded and watched as Rin went to sleep. She went downstairs to find Sesshomaru taking his shoes off by the door.

"Sessho-sama?" She asked softly. He didn't answer her and walked to the living room to sit on the couch, she followed him and touched his shoulder.

"My father, he's dead…" He said suddenly. Sarah's eyes widened at the news and sat next to him.

"Oh Sessho-sama I am so sorry." She said quietly. He only nodded to her and held his head in his hands.

"I just can't believe he's dead…I wouldn't think anyone would be able to kill my father…" He said. Sarah saw that he had tears flowing from his eyes. Sarah grabbed a tissue and offered it to him, he took it with a clawed hand. Sarah stopped and thought that she must of seen wrong, she checked his hand and she wasn't wrong and saw he did have claws.

"Sessho-sama?" She asked. He looked up and she saw that his eyes were golden, he had magenta strips on his cheeks, and he had a blue crescent moon on his forehead. She only looked at him and saw that he had a confused look on his face.

"What's going on with your face Sessho-sama?" She asked him. He got up and headed to the bathroom. He came back and he sighed wiping his face.

"I'm sorry you had to see me like this, Sarah-san. I'm a demon, a dog demon to be correct." He said. She only looked at him which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Aren't you scared of me?" He asked her. She shook her head and walked over to him and poked at his now pointed ears and looked at his marking in wonder.

"No I'm not scared Sessho-sama, my uncle is friends with a lot of demons and I grew up with some as my friends. Who else is a demon? I know you are, are there anymore in your family?" She asked him.

"Only me, Inuyasha who is a half-demon, and my father was a demon. Rin and Izayoi are human. That is all I know about us, I don't know if anyone else is I haven't gotten the gift of finding other demons." He answered her watching her circle him.

"Wow. So do you have any powers?" She asked him.

"well I'm a dog demon so I have everything a dog has. I also have a whip, poison claws, and speed." They kept talking about demons until Sarah parents came home. Sesshomaru put a spell on him to cover his features from her parents to not scare them. Sarah told her parents about Sesshomaru and Rin's father and what had happened and Rin needed to be away from the house as it was a mess with all the police and what had happened. Then they all went to bed an hour later, but there were no extra bedrooms so Sarah and Sesshomaru slept downstairs, Sarah took a chair to sleep in, and sesshomaru on the couch, he had offered to switch with her but she said that she liked sleeping in a small area so he only nodded to her and they both went to sleep the night off of all the problems that day.
