@~?~~,~~

Sess shifted the papers on his desk. He grunted as the door shifted open and students began to enter the room. He didn?t look at them as each one sat down in their seats. Sess got his papers organized and looked at his class. Most of the kids didn?t look at him. He noticed Kagome look directly at him. Her gaze was blank. She noticed he was looking at her and her gaze went cold. He glared at her back and continued around the class. Miroku was there this time. He was talking to Sango. He noticed Sango look out the corner of her eye and glare slightly.

?Ah so now they hate me,? he thought laughing slightly. He looked around the classroom some more. ?No Yasha, figures?

Decided to start class he began to ask for their reports. Most of the class started to hand it in. A select few started to groan. Once he collected the papers he began to speak.

?Okay class ? ?

Just then the door bust open and two figures came through laughing. Sess froze as the two figures came forward.

?Yasha,? Sess said coolly. ?Good to see you?ve made it,?

Yasha froze but then coolly smiled at Sess. ?I have a pass, I was showing the new kid around.?

Sess snatched the pass from Yasha, growling to himself then read the pass over. He then turned t look at the boy next to Yasha. He wore the boy?s uniform but didn?t look like a guy. His dark black hair was pulled up into a loose bun; most of his bangs were around his face. His cheeks had a natural blush around it. It almost looked as if he had eye makeup on too.

?And your name is??? Sess asked emotionlessly.

?Jakotsu,? He said smiling coolly.

He gave Sess a cool grin and waited for him to put him in a seat. Sess waved in a general direction for Jakotsu to sit. Yasha touched his shoulder and motioned for him to sit next to him. Once Yasha took his seat Miroku leaned in to whisper in his ear.

?Who is that??

?New guy. I found him in my apartment, he?s an okay guy but a little scary sometimes.? Yasha admitted.

?I thought he was a pretty new girl at first,? Miroku admitted whispering. ?He looks like one,?

?Yeah, that?s how we got on common grounds at first,? Yasha whispered back. ?When I was younger I used to look like a girl,?

?Alright class,? Sess said getting everyone?s attention. ?I?m giving you a free class today while I catch up on these papers here, I expect your reports to be good,?

?Reports?? Yasha repeated.

Miroku leaned in again. ?Yeah, they were due today, he pushed the due date up,?

Yasha growled. ?Damn it! I never got it done,?

He turned and glared at Sess. ?Damn it, damn it he did this on purpose,? Yasha thought. Miroku raised an eyebrow at Yasha.

?Yasha, are things going okay between you two,? Miroku said choosing his words carefully.

Yasha frowned and looked to the ground. ?I don?t think Ses- Mr.Youkai and I will be seeing much more of each other anymore,? Yasha said softly.

Just then both girls came over to Yasha and Miroku. Kagome nervously walked up to Yasha and gave him a shy hello. He smiled slightly at her and waved back. Relived that he wasn?t angry with her she walked up to Yasha and sat next to him.

?Hey Yasha?I?m sorry about yesterday and all?? Kagome said softly.

?It?s alright,? Yasha said and put an end to that conversation.

They noticed Sango walk up to Miroku and shyly sit next to him. He smiled at her and placed his arm around her shoulder. Kagome watched her friend?s face turn red and Kagome giggled.

?Aw?look at the cute couple Yasha!? Kagome said pointing at Sango and Miroku.

?Ack, don?t make me gag,? Yasha said gagging.

Kagome and Yasha laughed while Sango?s blush went redder. Miroku chuckled with them and tightened his grip on Sango?s shoulder.

?They?re just jealous that they don?t have a girl as beautiful as mine, or a guy as handsome as me,? Miroku said smugly.

Both Kagome and Yasha froze and started cracking up even harder. Kagome leaned into Yasha and Yasha nearly fell of the chair he was sitting on. Even Sango had to laugh at the two. Sess from his seat sneaked a look at Yasha. ?He?s happier this way,? Sess thought sadly.

?Excuse me,?

Yasha and Kagome stopped laughing and looked up. Yasha gave a slight wave to the newcomer.

?Jakotsu this is Kagome, Sango and Miroku,? he said introducing the group.

Each one of them waved or nodded at Jakotsu. Kagome patted a seat next to her. ?Here, come sit next to me,? She said cheerfully.

He gave her a cool smile and took a seat next to Yasha. She blinked in surprise at Jakotsu?s response, but everyone else ignored it. He smiled at Yasha and scooted close to him.

?Does the teacher usually give us free days like this?? he asked cheerfully.

?No, not usually,? Sango said.

?He?s a tough teacher, doesn?t take crap so I would try to act up in class.? Miroku said wisely.

Jakotsu nodded and smiled at Miroku. Sango raised and eyebrow at Kagome, knowing that he didn?t make eye contact with her.

?So when did you first come here?? Kagome asked politely.

Jakotsu looked at Yasha and Miroku. ?I moved here a few days ago, I was hoping to get an apartment but here I found myself in Yasha?s here,? he said touching Yasha?s arm. ?Scared the shit out of him.?

?Duh, if there?s some strange person in your apartment what else would you do??

?Oh I?m hurt, I?m not that strange am I Yasha?? Jakotsu said in mock sadness.

Yasha chuckled a little. Jakotsu got up and grabbed his things. ?I?d better go,?

?Hmm? Why?? Yasha asked.

Jakotsu waved a slip of paper at Yasha?s face. ?I have to go to the principal?s office, fix my schedule a bit,? He said and winked.

They group watched him walk away. Kagome turned to Yasha. ?Yasha?he was in your apartment??

?Hmm? Yeah, he was going to buy an apartment at the same building and Naraku must have been on some high because he stuck him in my apartment by mistake,? Yasha said nonchalantly.

?He was odd,? Sango admitted. ?I thought he was a girl at first,?

?Yeah, did you notice he never looked at me or Sango? Only at Yasha and Miroku,? Kagome said.

?I bet he only wanted Miroku and Yasha to notice him,? Sango pointed out. ?He?s probably??

?Gay?? Yasha finished coldly.

?Look Yasha, it?s nothing against you, he just creeped up us out,? Sango said.

?Yasha, he was flirting with you two, didn?t you notice?? Kagome asked softly.

Both boys looked at her wide-eyed but shook their heads no. Kagome sighed a bit and smacked her head. ?Are you two really that clueless?? She asked.

Yasha smacked her head slightly. ?Oh really??

Kagome stuck her tongue out at him and he pouted. Miroku chuckled slightly. ?Like a married couple you two?? he muttered softly.

Sess from his desk watched Kagome and Yasha. Laughing and playfully smacking each other. His gaze went blank. ?Like a married couple??

@~?~~,~~

Miroku waited for the city bus to come. He had missed the first one because he forgot his books in his last class. He ran for the bus he had just missed it. Winded from the run he had plopped down on a nearby bench. He clutched his stomach and started to breathe in and out. ?Shouldn?t have ran?? Miroku thought. ?I can barely catch my breath, and I?m still getting over my last illness.?

He watched the faculty parking lot, teachers move in and out of their cars. He smiled to himself, wishing he had a car. He sighed and waited for the bus. He turned around again when he heard a loud roar. He cocked his head to the side and studied the motorcycle that made the loud noise. ?Very nice,? he thought. ?But whose is it?? Just then he noticed the rider. ?Mr. Youkai!?

Sess paused and looked up. He noticed Miroku watching him and watched him back. ?He?s out of breath, it figures, after his illness? Sess thought. He got off his bike and walked over to Miroku. He bent down to Miroku?s eye level and looked at him.

?If you missed your bus, I could give you a ride home if you want,? Sess said.

Miroku smiled gratefully. ?Thank you Mr. Youkai,?

He got up and began to follow Sess to him bike. Sess handed him the passenger?s helmet. Miroku looked at it, turning it around. He then stopped and looked at Sess.

?I know this is none of my business, but what happened between you and Yasha so that now you?re acting cold to each other,? Miroku asked.

?You?re right, it is none of your business.? Sess said coolly.

Miroku raised his hands up in the air in a defending manner. ?I was just curious that?s all.?

Sess stopped and thought on that for a while. He looked at Miroku. ?Okay, but tell me one thing. What is wrong with you,?

?Hmm? What do you mean?? Miroku asked confused.

?A perfect student, always involved in school activities, very good grades. Now starts falling in his average, and isn?t involved in any activities. What happened to you??

Miroku paused. He turned his head and smiled at Sess. ?I guess we all have our secrets don?t we?? Miroku said quietly.

?I guess, but when are you going to tell them,? Sess said.

?Tell who??

?Yasha, Kagome, and Sango,?

Miroku?s eye?s shifted at Sango?s name. He looked to the ground sadly. ?Do you know??

?No, but whatever it is must be terrible considering you?re hiding it from your friends,?

?How do you know I?m hiding anything?? Miroku asked softly.

?Just a guess,? Sess said.

Miroku leaned against the bike. He gave Sess a small smile. ?What ever you did to Yasha must be terrible, for him not to talk to you or look so sad when you are mentioned.? Miroku said.

?How do you know??

?Just a guess,? Miroku said.

Sess nodded at the boy, and adjusted himself on his bike, turning away from Miroku. Miroku spoke up again.

?You know a wise man once told me it takes a strong person to apologize,?

?Really??

?Yeah,? Miroku said. ?I think you should,?

?Yes well tell me why I should listen to a teenager?? Sess asked sarcastically.

Miroku smiled and coughed. ?Because you?ll live to regret it if you don?t,? he said softly.

Sess stiffened. ?Why do you say that??

There was no answer. Sess waited for Miroku?s answer but he didn?t say anything. Sess felt something soft bump up against his back. He froze and turned his head around. Miroku was asleep, or what appeared to be asleep on Sess?s back. Sess gripped his shoulders and began to shake him.

?Miroku? Miroku, wake up,? Sess urged as he tried to shake Miroku.

?Miroku, Miroku!?

@~?~~,~~

Kagome laughed with her friend. Yasha sat off in the side watching the two girls giggle like crazy. All three of them made their way to Kagome?s house, and were now waiting for Miroku. The girls finally calmed down and started relaxing.

?So where do you think Miroku is?? Sango asked.

?Probably still waiting for the bus,? Yasha said.

?Maybe we should have waited for him,? Sango said worriedly.

Kagome smiled. ?Don?t worry, Miroku can take care of himself,? Kagome said.

Sango thought for a moment then smiled in agreement. Yasha paused and heard the phone ring. He excused himself from the group and went to answer the phone.

?Hello??

?Yasha??

Yasha froze again. He glared at the phone. ?What do you want Sess?? Yasha asked coldly.

?Your friend Miroku?s in the hospital again. I didn?t know your number so I called Kagome?s so she could tell you,? Sess answered.

Yasha felt himself relax again. He bit his lip nervously. ?Is he alright??

He could hear Sess sigh over the phone. ?I don?t know, but you should come over here and see him.?

?Alright,? Yasha said finally. ?I?ll come,?

??Yasha, I think we need to talk,?

Yasha froze again and glared at the phone. ?Look I?m going to see Miroku, not to talk to you.? Yasha said coldly. ?Just tell me where he is,?

?I?ll come and get you, I would tell Kagome or Sango about Miroku,? Sess warned.

?I know?? Yasha muttered.

Yasha could feel his heart melt for Sess. The calm mature voice calming him down even though his friend is in the hospital. ?I can?t help it?damn him? Yasha thought to himself, but them stopped and growled to himself. ?No, I can?t let him get through to me??

@~?~~,~~

?Miroku, what the hell are you doing here?? Yasha asked.

Yasha stood next to Miroku in his bed. Sess stood off to the one side of the room, watching Miroku and Yasha. Miroku smiled at his friend, he slowly pulled himself up on the bed, but stopped and let himself slide down the bed. Yasha bent down and helped his friend up. Miroku silently thanked him as Yasha helped him sit up.

?So what the hell is wrong with you?? Yasha asked again.

?I?m feeling a little off,? Miroku said smiling.

Yasha frowned at Miroku. ?A little off my ass. You passed out in Ses- Mr. Youkai?s back,? Yasha corrected himself.

Out of the corner of his eye Miroku could see Sess flinch slightly. But he didn?t say anything. Miroku looked back Yasha. Yasha watched Miroku, waiting for his response.

?There?s something wrong with you Miroku, and I want to know what it is,? Yasha said firmly.

Miroku looked away from Yasha?s gaze. He gazed out the window and watching the car lights flicker by. Yasha continued to watch Miroku. Finally Miroku looked at Yasha again, his eye blinking tiredly.

?I?m tired??

?Please tell me,? Yasha begged.

Miroku sighed tiredly and looked up at Yasha. For the first time since Yasha met Miroku he could see how awful he really looked. His eyes were dark with black circles, his skin was a white pasty color, he looked honestly sick. He sighed and tiredly learned his arms on the bedsides.

?A long time ago my father slept around before he met my mother. A lot of the times he didn?t remember the women he slept with. He finally met my mother and settled down. After she gave birth to me she started getting sick, really sick. By the time I was two she died before they could figure out what was wrong. My father died when I was eight.? Miroku said.

He turned to look Yasha in the eye. ?They died from AID?s. My father caught it from some woman she slept with, gave it to my mother and now gave it to me. I have AID?s Yasha.?

Silence met the room. Yasha stopped. He felt his breathing stop, he felt lightheaded. But he gripped the bed harder. His mind echoed with those words. His graze hardened.

?What do you mean??

?There are three ways to get AID?s. Through blood, intercourse, and birth. Since my father had it he gave it to my mother who in turn gave it to me. When I found out, I couldn?t forgive my father. I hated him when I was younger, but when he died?? Miroku said, his voice breaking. ?I never had a chance to tell him I loved him. I?ll never forgive myself for it,? Miroku said, his eyes looking over to Sess.

Yasha followed his gaze over to Sess. Sess looked up and gazed over at Yasha. They locked eyes and watched each other. Yasha heard Miroku coughed loudly and Yasha broke the spell between the two. He patted Miroku?s back in order to help him. When he stopped he looked at Yasha.

?Please Yasha, don?t tell anyone. Especially Sango. I don?t want her feeling sorry for me. I care about her too much,? Miroku said.

Yasha nodded. ?I won?t?but I think Sango would want to know,?

Miroku didn?t answer. ?She deserves better then me,?

?Shut up idiot,? Yasha said growling. ?You?re a great guy, don?t doubt yourself. That?s not the Miroku we know or Sango knows.?

Miroku looked up at Yasha and gave him a small tired smile. He yawned loudly and lied down on the hospital bed. His eyes began to flutter open and close.

?Go to sleep,? Yasha muttered softly.

He touched Miroku?s head gently and Miroku closed his eyes in sleep. Once Yasha was sure Miroku was asleep Yasha pushed way from the bed and sat down on the couch nearby. Sess finally moved from his spot and walked up to Yasha.

?How are you??

?About as fine as I can be,? Yasha said sarcastically. ?I?m great now, knowing my friend is going to die,?

Sess sighed and rubbed his hand with his fingers then ran it through his hair. He looked down at a tired Yasha. Yasha locked eyes with him again. Both men remained silent for a while. Until a nurse came in and told them that visitor hours were up. Both men got up and began to leave. Sess looked at Yasha.

?Yasha??

?Sess,? Yasha replied coolly. ?I didn?t come here just to run into your arms all over again. I?ve learned my lesion now,?

??Please let me talk to you,?

Yasha bit his lip. ?No, no, no?? Yasha thought. ?I can?t, I can?t??. Sess watched Yasha intensely. Yasha finally looked up at Sess. He bit his lip at the look Sess gave him. Sess reached out and touched Yasha?s arm. He started to pull Yasha closer, to hold him in his arms.

?No.?

Yasha pulled away from him and started to walk away. Sess stood there, alone and cold.

@~?~~,~~

The door opened before Yasha even pulled out his key. Jakotsu greeted him at the door.

?Yasha! You look tired.?

?Yeah?you wouldn?t happen to have coffee brewing would you?? Yasha asked, walking into his apartment.

?No, but I?ll make some.?

Yasha sat back on his dirty old couch, looked up at Jakotsu. He raised an eyebrow when he noticed what he was wearing. He had his usual bun down into a loose ponytail. He wore a loose smaller tanktop, exposing his stomach, and a pair of shorts. He smiled at Yasha and handed him a cup.

?Thanks for letting me stay here for a while,? Jakotsu said smiled.

?Your welcome,? Yasha muttered. He looked up at Jakotsu and raised an eyebrow. ?Uh, interesting outfit,?

Jakotsu looked at himself and giggled. ?Yeah, nothing else was clean,?

Yasha grunted and rolled his shoulders. Jakotsu cocked his head to the side, then smiled. ?Here let me help you,?

Yasha raised his eyes tiredly. Jakotsu moved his body and forced Yasha to move his forward. Yasha moved forward and let Jakotsu sit behind him. Jakotsu wrapped his legs around Yasha?s waist and started to rub his shoulders. Yasha groaned slightly and arched his back slightly. Jakotsu smiled slightly and leaned into Yasha?s ear.

?How are you feeling??

?Better, you?re pretty good,? Yasha groaned.

Jakotsu smiled slightly and laughed slightly. ?Thanks,?

Yasha arched his back a little more and continued to groan slightly. Jakotsu began to rub Yasha back harder, his grip around Yasha?s waist became tighter. He pressed his body closer to Yasha?s, making a slight groan.

?Mmm, Yasha you smell nice,? Jakotsu whispered.

?Hmm? Oh thanks,? Yasha said, not really noticing him.

Jakotsu?s hands began to rub Yasha?s shoulders, down to his arms. His rubbing motions began to rub down the sides of Yasha?s arms to his hips. Yasha now noticed this and jolted slightly. He turned around to face Jakotsu.

?Jakotsu?what are you doing???

?Shh?Relax?? He said touching Yasha?s lip.

Slowly he leaned into Yasha?s face and met his lips with Yasha?s. Yasha sat there in shock as Jakotsu kissed him. He pulled away slowly and kissed his cheek.

?You?re so unresponsive,? Jakotsu muttered as he kissed Yasha?s face.

?N-No?I can?t do this,? Yasha muttered.

?Yes you can,? Jakotsu whispered. ?There?s nothing wrong with kissing,? he said while kissing his jaw.

?That?s right?I?m not with Sess. There?s nothing wrong with this,? Yasha thought. Yasha leaned into the kiss as Jakotsu went back to his lips and fully kissed him. Jakotsu opened his mouth for Yasha as he plunged his tongue into Jakotsu?s mouth. Jakotsu moaned slightly as Yasha over powered his tongue. Yasha turned around and wrapped his arms around his waist. Jakotsu pulled their bodies closer and rubbed his hips against Yasha?s.

Suddenly Yasha pulled away. Jakotsu attempted to catch his breath. ?What??

?Excuse me, I gotta go,? Yasha said getting up and running to his bedroom.

Jakotsu watched as Yasha closed the door to his room. Jakotsu smiled and touched his face, rubbing his lips.

?Yasha?So beautiful?? he muttered to himself rubbing hips lips, grinning sadistically.

He began to chuckle to himself as he rubbed his lips, starting to lick them for the taste.

@~?~~,~~

?Are you sure this is where Yasha lives??

?Yeah, this is the directions Miroku gave me,?

It had been two days since Miroku was in the hospital and Yasha hadn?t been seen. Both Kagome and Sango were worried so they asked Miroku where Yasha lived. They had followed the directions to a run down apartment building. Both girls looked at the building in horror, but went in anyway. Both girls tried the elevator but found out it couldn?t work, so they went to climb the stairs. Once they reached the top floor they stopped to catch his breath.

?Why does Yasha live so high up?? Sango panted.

?I don?t know?? Kagome panted.

They looked around at the door until they came to Yasha?s door. Both girls looked at each other nervously not sure weather to knock. Finally Kagome knocked at the door. They waited for a minuet, then with more confidence, Kagome knocked harder, hoping someone would hear her. Finally they heard some groaning and cursing. They door opened and they were greeted by a half awake, half-dressed Yasha. He immediately woke up and cursed.

?Dammit, what are you two doing here?? Yasha muttered.

?We were worried about you,? Kagome said trying to hold in a giggle.

Yasha grunted and attempted to hide himself behind the door. Both girls tried to stop giggling at the site of Yasha. A slight blush crossed Yasha?s face as he excused himself as he went to get some pants. Once he had some on he came back to the door and invited them in. Both girls looked around the room, Sango blanching at the look.

?Um?Nice place?? Sango said.

?Yeah, yeah I know?? Yasha muttered. ?Want some coffee??

?Sure,? Kagome said.

Both girls sat down on the old couch and waited quietly for Yasha. Kagome looked over at Yasha.

?So Yasha how are you paying for this place?? Kagome asked.

?Well I need to get a job soon, so I can pay for rent,? Yasha started. ?Right now I only have enough for another month, but my roommate is paying for this month,?

?Roommate?? Both girls said in unison.

As if on cue the door opened and Jakotsu looked at the two girls. He cocked his head slight at the two and watched them blankly. He was dressed in looser jean pants that went up to his knees, and a very baggy T-shirt. His long black hair was done a loose braid. He placed a hand on his hip and held his bag with his other arm. Yasha looked at the door.

?Jakotsu, what are you doing there? Come in,? Yasha motioned tiredly.

Jakotsu gave Yasha a sweet smile and closed the door. He walked up to the two girls and handed them the bag.

?Please stick that in the kitchen,? he said waving to the girls.

Kagome and Sango looked at each other and went to the kitchen. Kagome dropped the bag and glared at Jakotsu. He smirked at her and placed an arm around Yasha?s arm. He tiredly handed the girls some coffee and looked to Jakotsu.

?You want some?? He asked.

?No, no, I?ve already had some,? Jakotsu said smiling at Yasha. ?I?ve been up since 6 so I?m going to go take a nap,?

Jakotsu smiled at Yasha and kissed his cheek. Yasha grumbled to himself and rubbed his cheek. Jakotsu winked at him and went into Yasha?s bedroom. Both girls looked at each other and Kagome turned to Yasha.

?Yasha?did he sleep in your room with you?? Kagome asked.

?Hmm? No, he slept on the couch. I just offered him my room whenever I?m not in it,? Yasha said.

He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked at the two suspicious girls. He suddenly realized what they were implying.

?Look, we?re not in a relationship okay? He?s just my roommate,? Yasha said angry.

Kagome shook her head. ?Yasha we?re not??

But Sango interrupted. ?Yasha, he kissed you on the cheek,?

?So what? He?s affectionate,? Yasha muttered.

Both girls looked at him and raised their eyebrows. He smacked his head. ?Even that sounds stupid to me,? Yasha thought. He looked at the two girls and rubbed his eyes.

?Look I?m not in a relationship with him. I?m not ready for that again, you believe me right Kagome?? Yasha said looking at Kagome.

Kagome paused and looked at Yasha. She began to chew on her lower lip but then relented to him. She smiled at him gently and took his hand.

?It?s okay Yasha. I believe you. I know it?s hard right now. But you have to admit, he is flirting with you,? Kagome said.

?Really?? Yasha said tiredly. ?I wasn?t really paying attention.?

Kagome laughed slightly and patted his hand. ?Yasha, you?re so unobservant. You need to tell him to back off though you don?t want him to get hurt,? Kagome said.

Yasha nodded. ?Alright,?

?We?d better go now,? Sango said.

Kagome nodded at Sango and looked at Yasha worriedly. She pulled him closer for a hug and waited for him to hug her back. He sighed tiredly and held onto her thin frame. She pulled back and smiled at him.

?Take care of yourself, okay?? she said.

He nodded at her. ?I will,?

He showed them to the door and waved them off. Once the door was closed Sango looked at Kagome.

?You think he?s going to be okay?? Sango asked her.

?I?m not sure?? Kagome answered biting on her nails.

Both girls started to walk away when they bumped into something. They looked down and saw a person lying on the ground, asleep. Kagome bent down to look at the person, checking for bruises. Sango looked down at her.

?Is he alright??

?I think so, he?s breathing,? Kagome said, pressing her head to his chest.

Kagome heard Sango scream as a hand went around her waist and press her to him. Kagome gasped and tried to pull away, but the hand was too strong. She turned her head and saw deep black eyes looking back at her. Kagome bit her lip as those eyes pulled her in, leaving her cold.

?Please let me go,? She whispered.

His eyes crinkled as he grinned, showing off some white teeth. She tried to pull away again.

?Who are you?? he asked smoothly.

?K-Kagome?? she stuttered.

?Ka-Go-Mei? He sounded out. ?And you?? he asked looking at Sango.

?Sango,? she answered coldly. ?Now let go of my friend,?

?San-go? he sounded out again.

He smiled charmingly at her and let Kagome go. Kagome rushed over to Sango and gripped her arm. Sango glared at him, he pushed himself up with his arms. He sat up with his shirt unbuttoned and pants undone. He smirked at the two girls.

?You came from Yasha?s room, are you friends of him?? he asked.

?Who are you first of all?? Sango asked.

Again he smiled charmingly at the two girls and stood up. ?My name is Naraku, the landlord,?

Sango glared at him and took Kagome?s arm. She started to pull her away from him to the stairs and down them, glaring at Naraku the entire time. Just then the door opened, next to Yasha?s and a little girl came out. Her ghastly pale skin shown in the light, along with her pure white hair. Her pure white dress matched her skin. She stood next to Naraku and touched his leg.

?Father, she?s gone again,? Her soft voice said.

He grinned and touched her head. ?I know, I left the window open on purpose. It will provide useful to us later,? he said.

Sango was shocked by the paleness of the small girl. Kagome looked at her and started to pull her away. Once they were farther away from them Kagome looked at her.

?Did you see that girl?? Kagome whispered.

?Yeah?she was as white as snow,? Sango answered back.

?But she?s Japanese too, you could tell by her eyes,? Kagome said.

?How odd??

@~?~~,~~

Sess walked into in apartment and threw his things onto the couch. Mitzui peeked her head from Rin?s room and smiled.

?Hey Naru! Sess?s here,?

Narumi came from Rin?s room and came out holding Rin, Mitzui following close behind. Narumi handed Rin to Sess and gave him a small smile.

?Here she is! She was really good today,? she said.

?Smart girl she is,? Mitzui said. ?If it?s not too personal can I ask why she isn?t in school??

He paused and watched the two girls. He reached inside his wallet and handed them some money. ?Thank you for watching Rin, you can leave now,?

Both girls looked at each other worriedly and handed the money back. ?It?s okay we don?t need it??

?Just take it,? Sess said.

Both girls paused again and pocketed the money. They started for the door. ?Okay then?well till next time!? Mitzui said cheerfully.

Narumi bit her lip but left with Mitzui. Once the door was closed the two girls looked at each other.

?What?s with him?? Narumi asked. ?Did we do something??

?Maybe it was something else. I mean I haven?t seen Yasha around,? Mitzui said.

?Yeah?that?s true, heh you know how I get when I?m upset,? Narumi said rubbing the back of her head.

Mitzui laughed slightly. ?Yeah, well that?s nothing like me when I?m having a visit from my monthly friend,?

Both girls laughed out loud. Narumi touched her friend?s shoulder. ?Maybe we should help him,?

Mitzui shook her head. ?No, we shouldn?t. It?s not our problem. You gotta learn that not all problems are ours to deal with!?

Narumi smiled and punched her friend?s shoulder. ?Man you can be cold,?

?Better to be cold then wrapped up in all this shit,? Mitzui said waving her finger.

Narumi wrapped her arm around her friend?s shoulder and headed for her apartment. Both they got in an elderly lady stopped them.

?Do you two know Mr. Youkai?? She asked.

?Yeah,? Narumi said.

?Is he in a relationship with anyone?? she asked.

Mitzui rubbed her chin, then looked at Narumi. Narumi took over the question. ?Yeah, but I?m not sure now.?

?Do you know who it was??

?I don?t think we can really say?Maybe you should ask him,? Mitzui said.

She paused then nodded. She smiled at the two girls. ?Thank you for your help.?

Both girls watched the woman walk away. Narumi looked at Mitzui. ?What was that about??

Mitzui shrugged. ?I don?t know, but like I said. We?re not getting involved,?

Narumi bit her lip. ?Oh?but it?s so tempting??

Kagura climbed through Yasha?s window. She had been running through the city all day and did want to go back to Naraku. She knew Yasha would let her in, and always forgot to lock his window. ?Idiot,? she thought. ?Someone will break into his apartment one day? Once she was in she paused when she heard a noise.

The light flicked on. Kagura paused and covered her eyes from the light, but when her eye adjusted to the light. Her eyes widened.

?Huh??

?Hello Kagura,?

Right in front of her was Jakotsu. Wearing the same thing from earlier, only his hair was down. She blinked and glared at him.

?Do I know you??

He chuckled and smirked at her. ?I don?t think you would remember. I?ve been hired.?

?Hired?? Kagura echoed.

?Yes hired. First I?m here concerning Yasha,? He said waving his arm around.

She looked at him suspiciously and started to back up. He headed towards her.

?What do you mean? Did Naraku hire you?? Kagura asked.

?Naraku?? Jakotsu echoed. ?No, no I would think not, who?s Naraku??

Kagura laughed. ?Good, then I guess your okay. What are you checking Yasha about??

He winked at Kagura. ?That?s for me to know and for you to find out,?

She shrugged and started to go for the kitchen but Jakotsu stopped her. She looked up at him and glared.

?Hey let me through,?

?I think not,? he said coldly.

?What??

He pushed her back into the window. She gasped at contact and lost her breath. Once she regained it she stood up slowly, glaring at him.

?What the hell are you doing?? she asked.

?I?m afraid you have to leave,? Jakotsu said smiling coldly.

She paused in fear. ?What do you mean??

He grabbed her shirt collar and held her by the window. ?I mean, goodbye,?

He pushed her out the window. She screamed reaching for the window, but slipped. She screamed as she fell down the building. Jakotsu watched as she fell from sight. He smiled and laughed gleefully.

?I hate woman,? he muttered.
