Author's Note: This is my second fanfic, I wanna see if people like it before I continue.

"Boyou, Boyou, where are you, you fat cat," yelled a young girl searching for her cat in the bushes.

"Meow"

She looked up and saw her cat in the arms of a young boy.

"Um, thanks for finding my cat," she said shyly.

"Feh, I didn't find your cat he came to me," the young boy replied rudely.

"You don't have to be so mean," said the little girl, "now give me back my cat."

"Why don't you come over here and take him from me," he said with a smirk.

She crossed her arms and glared at him.

"Feh that's what I thought just another wimpy little girl," said the boy turning his back to her and walking away.

"Nobody calls me a wimpy girl," he heard her say before he felt her pounce on his back; he fell hard on the grass. The cat skirted off towards the house. She was smashing his face into the grass "eat grass dogface."

"I see you've made a new friend Inuyasha," came the voice of a boy.

She looked up to discover the owner of the voice was the cutest boy she had ever seen. He was tall with long hair pulled up in a high ponytail, with sun colored eyes; she could see the amusement in them. He looked to be 13 or 14, five years older than her. She blushed when he offered her his hand to help her up.

"She's not my friend Sesshoumaru, just some stupid girl," the boy now identified as Inuyasha said.

"What's your name," the boy name Sesshoumaru asked.

"Kagome," she said shyly looking down to the ground.

"Well, I'm Sesshoumaru and that mutt over there," he pointed to Inuyasha, "is my younger half brother Inuyasha."

Inuyasha was to busy spitting grass and wiping dirt from his hair to realize his brother's insult.

"We just moved here from Osaka with our dad and Inuyasha's mother a few days ago, so I guess that makes us neighbors," Sesshoumaru explained.

"And friends," she said with a blush.

"Since we're new here I guess you can show us around huh Kagome," he said roughing up her hair. "Come on Inuyasha your mother's waiting on us, see you later Kagome,"

"Bye Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha."

Kagome, Sesshoumaru, and Inuyasha started spending a lot of time together. She was glade to finally have some friends to play with instead of her fat cat and little brother.

"Mom do you think you can take me over the Taisho brother's house this afternoon, there father said it would be ok if I stayed for dinner," asked Kagome. Her mom was preparing breakfast. "Sure sweety, that won't be a problem, now go get your grandpa and Souta for breakfast.

"How about some snack's Inuyasha," asked Kagome.

"You know where the kitchen is go get yourself," replied Inuyasha.

"I'm your guest baka," said Kagome hitting him over the head.

"Ouch, what you do that for," Inuyasha said rubbing his head, "and you stopped being a guest a long time ago your practically family now."

"He's right Kagome," said Sesshoumaru, finally making an appearance.

"Thanks Sesshoumaru," she said smiling a small blush appearing on her plump cheeks. Sesshoumaru gave her a little sideways smile before he sat down next to her on the couch.

The blush didn't go unnoticed by Inuyasha, who rudely said, "you still got that silly crush on Sesshoumaru, Kagome. You know he has a girlfriend now, that Kagura girl, she is hot, besides he only sees you as a little sis (WHACK)! Inuyasha was indiscreetly hit by a pillow.

"You should learn to hold your tongue, little brother," said Sesshoumaru slightly annoyed at his brothers ignorance.

"It's OK," said Kagome quietly. Not wanting to look at him or Sesshoumaru. She knew about Kagura, but Sesshoumaru always had girlfriends, before Kagura there was Yura, before Yura there was Sara. She knew he would never see her as anything more than a sister considering the age. He was almost 4 years older than her.

"Now look what you've done, you've upset her," said Sesshoumaru.

"I'm sorry Kagome, how about those snack alright, I'll be back," said Inuyasha, going towards the kitchen.

"Don't pay any attention to him Kagome, I'll always be here for you, you're my number one and we'll always be friends no matter what," said Sesshoumaru grinning at her.

"Always," she asked looking into his sun kissed eyes.

"Always," he said

Kagome thought for a sec, before adding with a hopeful tone, "even forever,"

Sesshoumaru couldn't help but laugh at her innocent behavior.

"Even forever," he said.

Kagome was in her bedroom reading her favorite novel when she heard a little commotion outside, she peeked through her window and saw a flash of white. 'It couldn't be Inuyasha she thought, he went school shopping with his mom, and as far she knew Sesshoumaru was still in Osaka visiting his mom.'

She decided to go outside and investigate a little.

By the time she made it outside whoever it was, was gone. So she went to sit under the Goshinboku tree and spotted someone she was not expecting to see.

"Sesshoumaru," he turned his head slightly at the call of his name, "I thought you were still in Osaka visiting your mom, when did you get back," she asked taking a step toward him.

No response.

"Sesshoumaru, what's wrong, are you okay," she asked reaching out to him.

He turned and fully faced her, his expression was different it wasn't the carefree one she fell in love with. Instead it was replaced with one of indifference, almost mean.

"Leave me alone," he said before turning and walking away from her. She didn't know what hurt most the way he looked at her or what he said.

She was going to go after him but Inuyasha voice stopped her.

"Let him go Kagome."

"What's going on why is Sesshoumaru acting so cold," she asked him.

"His mother was killed a few days ago, father brought him here to offer prayer," said Inuyasha solemnly.

"That's awful, how did it happen," she asked deeply worried about Sesshoumaru and what he must be going through.

"They were walking home from the movies, when some robber came and jumped them he knocked Sesshoumaru to the ground and took a knife to his mother, all he got was a mere 10,000 yen" explained Inuyasha as best he knew it, "they caught the creep, but by the time Sesshoumaru's mother made it to the hospital it was to late."

Kagome was in tears; Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her for comfort she couldn't help think how Sesshoumaru must be feeling. She wanted to go comfort him but that look he gave her, so frightening.

"He didn't even cry at her funeral, just stood there with that same stoic expression on his face, can't imagine what he's going through," said Inuyasha.

A few days later Kagome went by Taisho manor to check up on Sesshoumaru, she wanted him to know that she was here for him if he needed her. Jaken the house servant answered the door. "Is Sesshoumaru here," she asked not wanting to look him straight in the eye. "One moment," he squawked.

"Follow me," he said. He led her into the common room where they use to play not to long ago.

"Inuyasha isn't here, Kagome," said Sesshoumaru from behind. She whirled around at the sound of his voice

"Actually I came to see you," she said trying to sound cheerful.

"Regarding," he asked raising a questioning eyebrow.

'I never had a reason to come see you before,' she thought.

"Just wanted to see how you were doing, your going through a major tragedy and I just want you to know I'm here for, I know what its like to lose a parent," she said on shaky breath.

"You know nothing," he spat.

Kagome was hurt.

"What do you mean, you know my father died a few years ago Sesshoumaru how could you say that," she replied on the verge of tears.

"Your father died of stomach cancer Kagome, you expected his death, but my mother, my mother was murdered right in front of me and I was helpless, I couldn't do anything to protect her," he said voice cracking. "She bled to death in my arms; I'll never be that weak and helpless again. You say you know what it's like you don't and you never will; I don't need or want your sympathy."

Kagome didn't know what to say there was so much pain and anger in his voice, she just wanted to be a friend to him. She couldn't help the tears that were rolling down her cheeks, and she didn't bother to wipe them away either. His eyes were so cold, it was like he was a whole knew person, this wasn't the Sesshoumaru she knew.

"Take care of yourself, I really am sorry about your mother," she said before turning and running out the front door.

She didn't even bother to look back, because if she had she would have seen Sesshoumaru standing in the doorway with a pained expression on his face and a single tear running down his left cheek.

Well that's it for chapter 1 it's starts off a little slow in the beginning but it gets good towards the end of the chapter I think. Hope you enjoy R&R
