I do not own InuYasha (though I certainly wished I did) just the characters and the plot and, of course, the idea. Enjoy! :)

No reviews this time around but I'm okay with that. My muses demanded that I put this chapter out before any could arrive.

Anyway! Onto the chapter! xD

Chapter 6

Sara shivered in fright as she felt his aura draw closer to her. It was red with anger then it quickly changed to a clear awkward and she blinked in shock. He wasn't angry with her? Why? she wondered and dared a peek in Kaede's direction. She was still in her bowed position. She wanted to call out to her and make sure she was okay but was afraid to. She didn't want to change Inuyasha-sama's mood back to angry again.

"You can...uh...stop bowing now," Inuyasha said while rubbing the back of his head. Sara hesitated for a moment before getting up slowly and keeping her eyes low to the ground. Kaede followed soon after, trusting Sara and Inuyasha completely. Well, Inuyasha anyway. Sara could go back to crazy at any moment now.

"Inuyasha! What did you do this time?!" a female voice demanded and she saw him flinch. Sara guessed it had to be Higurashi Kagome-sama. She was the only person she could think of that could make him flinch like that and make him look guilty and sheepish at the same time.

"It was Shippo this time," he grumbled under his breath but said loud enough so Kagome could hear, "It wasn't me. It was our son."

"I was trying to bring Sara-chan to you but she went full-youkai," Shippo explained and Sara forced her eyes to look at him. Liar!

"Yeah right," she all but snarled. "You killed my best friend by having your youkai attack us." Shippo shot Sara a look and bowed his head when Kagome stepped out from the shadows.

Sara gasped. It was... her okaa-san? The eyes were a light chocolate brown with bits of gold, her hair long and black going to her waist, and the miko robes she wore made Sara want to cry. Her okaa-san returned to her!

"Okaa-san?" Sara called out, hope filling her eyes, and Kagome gave her a sad smile. The poor girl. She forgot her own daughter was her exact replica (except for the hair of course).

"No. Kira is dead, Sara-chan. Gomen na sai," Kagome said softly and Sara lowered her eyes. She felt stupid for even thinking that Higurashi Kagome could even be her mother. Especially since her hair is black and not a dark brown. Baka!

"Gomen," she mumbled and Kagome smiled at her before turning to look at her adopted son with narrowed eyes. Shippo shifted on his feet with a guilty expression on his face and downcasted his eyes to the floor.

"Is what Sara-chan said true, my son?" Kagome asked, saddened, and Shippo nodded. A look of disappointment crossed the faces of Inuyasha and Kagome and Sara scowled at him.

"I won't forgive you, Shippo-dono. Not after you killed my best friend," Sara snarled and he winced. He had a feeling she was going to say that.

'Mate' his inner-youkai whimpered but he shoved it to the back of his mind. Not right now, he thought to it and gave her a sad look.

"Kioshi-san..." Kaede said softly and tears collected in the corners of her eyes and fell. She never knew that Sara thought of her that way. Sara shot a glance and Kaede ran over to her. She opened her arms to the smaller girl who shot right into them and sobbed into her chest. She wrapped her arms around her and rubbed hr back with soothing motions.

"Hey, what's wrong? What happened?" Sara demanded and shot another glare at Shippo. He glowered at her and shook his head. She was clearly a baka, and a lot like Inuyasha.

"I'm...I'm so h-happy! You think of me as your best friend!" Kaede wailed as she drew back and threw her arms around Sara's neck, startling her She pulled back slightly to stare at the girl before smiling.. She slowly put her arms around the girl again and chuckled. Well, this was a surprise.

"Well, yeah. You were there for me the last week and you were the first person to befriend me when I came to this school. Of course I would think of you as a best friend," Sara said with a hidden smile. She never had a friend before coming here. Only Kenta and he didn't exactly count. Kaede was her first and then came Saya. They were her best friends and she had a suspecting feeling that they always would be.

Kaede sniffled and nodded before pulling back with a sigh. She felt kinda bad about being a cry baby over that but she couldn't help it. She never had a best friend before! She smiled at Sara then looked at Inuyasha and Higurashi Kagome.

"Why have you came to our school Higurashi-sama?" Kaede asked quietly and Kagome smiled. Sara tilted her head ans eyed the woman with the same question in her eyes. She wondered the exact same thing.

"I'm here because I'm gonna be your new archery teacher!" she exclaimed and Sara's eyes widened before she fainted from the shock. She fell and Shippo sprinted and caught her. He held her close to his chest and looked at her pale face in alarm. That was not a normal response.

"Kioshi-san!" Kaede called out as Inuyasha shot his mate a look. Kagome met his eyes sheepishly and shrugged.

"You could've brought the news a little bit gentler for the poor girl," he tsked and Kagome ignored him as she stared at Sara with concern. definitly not a normal response.

Maybe Inuyasha was right, Kagome thought as Kaede shrieked at her adopted son to set Kioshi Sara down. I shouldn't have brought this so roughly onto the poor child. Her granddaughter was still in a delicate mentality.

"Hey, Shippo?" Kagome called and he looked over at her, still playing keep-away with Sara's body. "You didn't tell Sara-chan that I was her obaa-san, did you?"

He gave her a grin and nodded. Kagome groaned and face-palmed herself. Inuyasha shared a smirk with his adopted son and put a soothing hand on his mate's shoulders. This just gets better and better.

Whoo-hoo! Two chapters in one day! Someone give me a cookie! Please review. I will not put up anymore without one now.

*stops and thinks* Well, I might but it'll be hard. Eh.
