Thanks guys!

ENJOY!!

LAST TIME:

"Enough!" Sesshomaru yelled. "We don't need to explain to them. They don't know us. Why would they care for us. Let's go." Sesshomaru turned around to walk away but was held back by Rin. He turned around to yell but softened his face when he saw Rin bursting in tears.

"Please. Tell me what happened." Rin began crying louder. People began to look.

"Can you not cry please. People are looking." Sesshomaru said. "I'll tell you everything if you- huh?" Sesshomaru stopped.

"Rin!" Kagome yelled.

"Rin!" Sango echoed.

NOW:

"What do we do now?" Inuyasha asked.

"She passed out?" Miroku asked.

Sesshomaru picked Rin up bridal style and layed her down on a bench. "Does she always faint after crying?" He asked.

"We can't help it." Sango said. "We don't like to see people who are abused and treated like they mean nothing in this world."

"What makes you think we are abused?" Miroku asked.

"It's a little obvious." Kagome said.

"All our lives, we've been treated like we mean nothing in this world." Inuyasha said quietly. Kagome embraced Inuyasha.
"Wh...what are you doing?" Inuyasha stiffened.

"Now that you met us, you won't have to feel like that anymore." Kagome said. She turned to Rin when Inuyasha turned her to face him.

He looked into her eyes to find some kind of joke. He found none. "Now that we've met you, what would we feel?" He asked.

"Love." Kagome smiled.

"Kagome we need to take Rin home to get some sleep." Sango said.

"Right. Lets go then." Kagome said.

THE GIRLS APARTMENT

Sango opened the door and everyone entered. Kagome put a pillow on the couch. "Jut put Rin here." Kagome said.

The boys walked in and looked around the apartment. It had large windows and a balcony on one side that led to a perfect view of the clear ocean. They boys were in awe.

Sesshomaru put Rin on the couch. Sango came from the kitchen. "Before we all get started, what are your names?" Sango asked.

"I'm Sesshomaru. These are my brothers: Inuyasha and Miroku." Sesshomaru said.

"It's a pleasure. I'm Sango. This is Kagome and that's Rin. We're cousins" Sango followed.

"Inuyasha, can you come with me into the kitchen please?" Kagome asked. Inuyasha followed Kagome.

"Miroku come with me." Sango said. Miroku followed her to the balcony.

"I guess it's just you and me." Sesshomaru said. He sat on the floor and stared at Rin. Rin began to stir awake and she squinted her eyes opened. "Are you ok?" Sesshomaru asked.

Rin smiled and stared at Sesshomaru. She sat up and smiled wider. "I'm much better now." She replied.

"Do you always pass out after you cry?" Sesshomaru asked.

"No. I guess my feelings were overwhelming this time." Rin laughed at herself.

"Why? We just met."

Rin stared in his eyes softly. "Sometimes feelings get the better of you when it's a strong feeling."

"What feeling was this?" Sesshomaru stared in her eyes.

"I don't know." Rin laughed. "But I would like to find out."

"Me too."

WITH INUYASHA AND KAGOME

"And once he hit me with a glass vase because I helped my brother from the floor. He likes to pick on Miroku because he's human. He yelled at me to leave him alone." Inuyasha explained. He had explained the whole story of Naraku and him and Sesshomaru when they were children. He had also explained how they got away. He looked at Kagome who was in tears.
"Why are you crying?" He asked.

"I'm sorry I can't help it. I hate it when bad things happen to people I know." Kagome said wiping her tears.

"You shouldn't cry though. I heard your face will stay crunched up if you cry too much." Inuyasha said. Kagome laughed at the comment. It only made Inuyasha bring a small smile.
"See, you look so much better when you laugh." Inuyasha said kindly.

"Thank you." Kagome said smiling. "You have a nice smile even though it's barely a smile." Inuyasha stopped smiling for he did not realize he was smiling.
"You should smile. It takes away the sadness from your eyes."

"I don't have any reason to smile though." Inuyasha said quietly.

"Well you have me now." Kagome smiled. Inuyasha stared at her with a small smile.

WITH SANGO AND MIROKU

"He likes to beat on me more because I'm human and not demon so the pain is much worse for me. Still, I get quite used to it." Miroku explained. He had also explained the whole story of when he was young and how he was adopted by Naraku.

"How sad." Sango said quietly. "Is this 'Naraku' person a demon?"

"Yes. He's a demon just like my brothers. Though Inuyasha is only half demon so my dad likes to pick on us both most of the time." Miroku explained.

"You shouldn't call him your father. He does not deserve it." Sango said.

"That's what Sesshomaru says. But he took us in."

"Still. It gives him no right." Sango explained. "Besides, why would you live with him? You're out of high school and in college. Why are you still there? You had a right to leave if you wanted."

"He says that no one would ever take us in so might as well stay there. Besides, he'll kill us when he finds us. We escaped." Miroku explained.

"How old are you three anyway?" Sango asked.

"Inuyasha and I are eighteen. Sesshomaru is seven months older than I am. He's nineteen."

"Wait, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru are twins?"

"No. Their father had mated with a demon but she left him while she was pregnant with Sessho but she never said anything. So he then mated with a human and had Inuyasha. Right after Inuyasha was born, the female demon came and dumped Sessho on his father's new family. They told me everything but accepted each other as if Inuyasha's mother was Sesshomaru's mother."

"So their a month a part?" Sango asked.

"No, they're six months apart."

"Oh. So where have you guys been staying since you've escaped?"

"Wherever we can find. We usually go down to the train station." Miroku said.

"Well thats not acceptable." Sango said annoyingly.

"We have no money."

"Then stay with us." Sango said with a smile on her face. Miroku looked at Sango confusingly. (A/N: like this O.o)

WITH SESSHOMARU AND RIN

"It must be tough to protect your brothers." Rin sad.

"It is but I..." Sesshomaru began quietly. "I would do anything for my brothers. To make sure they are alive and have a better life." Sesshomaru said confidently.

"That's very wise of you." Rin smiled. Sesshomaru smiled a little but realized his cheeks were stiff. "You don't smile often do you?" Rin giggled. Sesshomaru shook his head as his cheeks turned red. Rin stood up and grabbed Sesshomaru's hand. He blushed quickly as he let Rin drag him around. "Come on. I want you to sit right here on this table." Rin said sweetly. Sesshomaru listened and sat looking confused. At that moment. Kagome dragged Inuyasha into the table followed by Sango who made Miroku sit.
"Kay boys. Sit tight. We'll be right back." Rin said as the girls ran into the kitchen.

The boys looked at them run off and stared at each other. They started talking fast.
"They're beautiful." Miroku said.
"They're really nice." Inuyasha added.
"I know. It's like they actually care about us." Sesshomaru said.
"Let's stay here with them." Inuyasha said.
"Yeah Sessho." Miroku agreed.
"Are you kidding? No way." Said Sesshomaru.
"Why not?" Asked Inuyasha.

"But we can." Miroku began. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru stared at him. "Ms. Sango told me that we can stay here and they can treat our wounds and we don't need to pay rent!" Miroku said excited.

"Miroku, your smiling." Inuyasha said excited.

"You are too." Miroku said laughing. Inuyasha joined him.

Sesshomaru stared at his brothers with happiness. Inuyasha looked at Sesshomaru.
"Can we stay here?" He asked.

"Sessho your smiling." Miroku said.

"For you guys. Ok fine we'll stay." Sesshomaru said.

"Yes!" The boys said.

At that moment, the boys smelled food from the kitchen.
"It smells good." Inuyasha said.

The girls walked with plates of food in their hands. The boys looked at the girls as they set up the table with food. There were sandwiches, rice balls, soup, chicken and mash potatoes.
The boys stood up as if on cue. "Sorry, we'll get out of your way." Miroku said.

"No, no sit down. We made this for the three of you." Sango said.

"No really, it's all appreciated but we are not used to this kind of treatment." Sesshomaru said.

Kagome stood next to Inuyasha. "You said you escaped from that terrible man back at your old home. That was one step of your freedom. You smiling was the second step. Now it's time to take the third." Kagome explained.

"The third step is eating?" Inuyasha asked confused.

"The third step is being free. Try this first. It's called ramen soup. You are all free now. Eat all you want." Kagome said.

Inuyasha sat down and took the bowl of ramen in his hands. He was uncomfortable but the scent of the soup was overwhelming. Inuyasha slowly ate it and his eyes lit up. He ate it all in one bite and looked at Kagome. Kagome encouraged him to eat anything he wanted on the table. He took mash potatoes, a sandwich and a rice ball. Soon, Miroku and Sesshomaru joined Inuyasha and ate whatever was on the table with joy.

"So the girls and I have decided on something." Rin said.

The boys stopped eating and looked at the girls. They still had food in their mouth.

"We want you guys to stay with us." Kagome said.

The boys swallowed their food and stared at the girls. "Why?" Inuyasha asked.

"Because we want you to stay and we want to help you get a job, buy some new clothes and get whatever you need to get until you guys are capable to be on your own." Sango answered.

"Thank you all so much." Miroku said.

"We accept your welcome and this delicious food so yes, we will stay." Sesshomaru said.

"Great!" Rin cheered.

"School is tomorrow so we need to get you guys some clothes so get your asses up. We are going to the mall." Sango said.

"Wait, we've never been to a mall before." Miroku said.

"That's ok. You have us on your side." Kagome assured.

"Cool, let's go." Inuyasha said cheerfully.
