Alright so the good news: Inuyasha was in the city. The bad news: he was being chased after the police. The good news surprisingly out-weighed the bad though I didn't feel the need to celebrate. I had to find that brat & quickly.

I turned from the Tv quickly & grabbed my coat. "I have to go" I growled in a rush

"Wait, wait, where are you going-"

"Is everything ok-"

"Are you going to finish that margari-"

I shot them all a glance, noting Kagura's suspicious glare & jogged out of there. Why the hell would Inuyasha try to rob a store, assuming he was robbing it? (Personally I can't think of any other explaination for that tape). Was he desperately hungry but didn't have the money to buy food? That thought left me breathless & a heavy ache in my chest. He just wanted food...that's it.

I had no idea where he could be & I didn't know where to start. But I knew he was in the city & so I spent the next seven hours wandering the streets, searching the alley-ways, searching for him or any clue as to where he could be. When the sun began to rise over the dewy horizon, I collasped behind a restaurant & rested my face in my hands. I was cold, exhausted, hungry & a feeling I couldn't quite put my finger on. It made sense just to go home & search again later tonight. There wasn't any use in searching when I was barely awake.

I walked home slowly. I wish I could say I was planning & plotting all the way there but my mind was blank & whatever thought came to mind was fuzzy, like looking at a streetlight through a dirty, wet window. I ambled through the apartment complex & wearily climbed the stairs to my apartment door, noticing a dirty lump at the end of the hallway. As it shifted I realized it was a person. I sighed & walked up to it.

"Look this is not a place you want to be sleepin-"

"Go away" came the gruff snarl.

I frowned. "You should go find somewhere else to slee-"

The person flung the dirty rags away & snarled up at me, "I said go awa-...oh my God"

I was brought to my knees as I gazed upon Inuyasha's face. It was so drawn, dirty, scratched up...I barely recognized him. His left ear had a chunk of meat missing, a long scar adorned his cheek & he looked so hungry.

Tears began to well in his eyes & he whimpered. I snatched him up into a hug quicker than even I could follow. I held him to my chest, wishing I could transfer what little energy I had to comfort him, heal him, feed him...

"Oh Yasha..." I whispered.

He began to sob. "Sessh, what h-happened? I was looking & l-l-lookin' & I was so scared something had happened to y-y-you-"

I shushed him & stroked his hair, not caring that it was caked with blood. I was just happy it wasn't his.

.

..

...

I watched Inuyasha as he stuffed his mouth with the lasagne I had just finished making not too long ago, sipping my wine slowly. I hated how his eyes darted around like that zombie on the highway that ate my intended dinner that seemed so long ago, like he was afraid someone was going to take his food from him. I hated how it seemed he forgot to eat with a fork & grabbed the lasagne in his claws, stuffing as much as he could into his mouth, shoulders haunched forward. It was like he was a beast now.

Once he was finished he relaxed into a sitting position, legs crossed in an Indian position. "So...whatcha been up to?" he asked nonchalantly.

I put my wine glass down & stared at him warily. "What happened to you? Why did you leave the car?"

Inuyasha sighed, his eyes falling to the floor. "I just started panicking...I-I...I didn't know where you were & I started to worry...so I got out to look for you..."

"You should've just stayed right there! I was coming back!"

"Hey asshole I'm sorry I didn't get your telepathic messege telling me to stay put!"

I released an exasperated sigh through my nose, rubbing my forehead. "It was common sense, Yasha"

"Common sense told me to come look for your ass to see if you were alright!"

"I was worried sick about you!" I snapped, "I come back to see blood on the windshield & the door open. How the fuck you think I felt? You think I was proud of leaving you? You think I didn't want to save you? I saved your brattish ass by running away & luring the zombies to me so that you could get to safety, like, I don't know, the top of the fucking truck trailer & then we could leave when I returned!"

Inuyasha crossed his arms in a huff & scowled down at the floor. Despite my anger I couldn't help but smirk at his behavior. He knew I was right.

"I'm just glad you're alright" I say softly, standing & walking to the kitchen.

I began washing the dishes by hand even though I had a perfectly capable dishwasher. I needed to think. I hadn't once thought about having a wanted person in my own house since I was at the bar last night & now that I had time to kill my thoughts rushed by like lights outside a speeding car. I was assuming since he was on the news, it was serious enough that they'd come looking for him & I'd be considered an accomplice. What do they do to suspects found guilty nowadays? Last criminal I heard of being found guilty they left him outside the gates & let the horde have him. Would that be Inuyasha's fate too? To be thrown to the zombies? It went without saying that I couldn't allow that to happen.

Inuyasha slowly came into my peripheral vision & he leaned against the doorway. He was silent for a moment, shifting his weight continuously. "Dinner was good. Thanks"

I nodded silently.

"I went a long time without eating" he whispered after a long silence, "Sometimes I got lucky & found a dead deer or something but for the most part-" he shrugged, "I felt like a scavenger out there. I was so scared, Sessh. I tried to follow your scent but all I could smell was rotting corpses & myself cause, let's face it, I stink"

I nodded again, more enthusiastically but smirking.

He chuckled. "On that note I'm gunna take a shower. Mind if I borrow some of your clothes?"

"Help yourself" I murmured.

He stared at me for a moment before pushing off the doorway & walking to the other side of the apartment where my bedroom & bathroom were located. I would need to get him some clothes soon. & I'd need more food. & the cost of my utilities will go up. I might want to consider taking up another job. That thought made me feel like another two ton burden was placed on my shoulders. & what if they had inspections like our old landlord use to do once a month & they found Inuyasha?

I put the plate I was washing back into the soapy water & placed my hands on the rim of the sink, leaning heavily on it. We couldn't stay here, not for long. But where else could we go? There had to be another gated city we could escape to, right? We could grab some weapons & defend ourselves against the zombies & we might even find a car that wasn't an official (the only people who got cars were people who needed one for their job, for example, like mine) & hopefully the nearest gated city didn't know about Inuyasha's little stunt.

I finished the dishes & sat in the living room, aimlessly flipping through the channels. Inuyasha finished his shower & curled up under my arm like he used to, snoring so loud I didn't bother turning the volume up. I found it hard to be angry at him when he was like this. It was difficult to believe how I wanted to shake him until his neck broke when I saw that footage on the news. He was pretty much like my son now; it was my duty to take of him now & not be the big brother he's known me to be all his life.

Suddenly there was knocking at the door & my heart stopped. Whoever it was they could not know about Inuyasha. As the knocking continued, I gingerly picked Inuyasha up & took him to my bedroom, lying him on my bed. He was so much lighter than I remembered but I guess that's because he went so long without eating like a pig. I pulled the blankets over his head & walked quickly to the door before the fourth knock. Kagura looked at me expectantly.

"What took you so long to answer?"

I narrowed my eyes at her. "I think I'm entitled to answer my door whenever I'd like, especially since I pay the bills here"

Her eyes registered rage before it calmed into a restrained sort of anger. "Do you have anything planned for the day?"

I forced my mind not to wander to Inuyasha. "No"

"Good. Come have a few drinks with me"

When I started worrying about Inuyasha, I had to remind myself that he was an adult now; I didn't need to remind him not to open the door for strangers & all of that. I didn't really want to leave him though, not when we had just been reunited & he was now on the run.

"Maybe another time, Kagura" I said gently

She tilted her head. "I thought you said you didn't have any plans for tonight"

"I don't. But that doesn't mean I want to go out either"

Her magenta eyes bore into mine before she let out a sigh that sounded almost like a growl. "Fine"

She turned on her heel & walked away, her arms swinging angrily, heels clicking in an annoying cadence.

"You could've ditched me for your girlfriend. I wouldn't have been mad" Inuyasha said sleepily, rubbing his eyes before collasping on the couch.

I scoffed. "That was not my girlfriend. & why do you insist on sleeping on the couch when there's a perfectly fine bed in there?"

"Your bed smells like Dad" Inuyasha mumbled, curling into a ball.

I never thought about that. The thought of our parents now left an ache in my chest. How were they now?

I went over & gently ruffled his hair, falling into my favorite chair. "I guess it's just in my aura"

There was a silence before he asked, "That chick was pretty cute. You should go out with her"

"Not interested" I said too quickly.

He laughed. "What? She's hot man. You're lame if you don't think so"

"I didn't say she wasn't attractive, I just said I'm not interested"

"Oh, she must be a bitch?"

I mulled that over for a moment. "Not really. Just...really quiet & likes to stare at me kind of chick"

"Oh hell no, you hurt her feelings & she'll castrate you & boil your balls then force you to watch her eat them"

I frowned. "You are so vulgar"

"Well, hell, I'm just saying! What person in their right mind just stares at someone? I mean like is it one of those God-I-wanna-do-dirty-things-to-you-in-the-kitchen kind of stares or I-wonder-what-your-blood-would-taste-like-if-I-licked-it-off-your-dick kind of stares?"

I grimaced. "It's both, actually"

Inuyasha sat up, his furry ears swiveling. "I bet she'd be a good fuck man. One of those chicks that like to lick your butthole & enjoy golden showers, that freaky shit"

"I don't like my butt hole licked, thank you very much"

"I'm just saying, I bet she likes that kind of shi-wait, do you like giving golden showers?"

I threw him a murderous glare & he raised his hands in a surrendering gesture.

"I'm just asking, man, damn. Hell, if you don't want her I'll take her"

"Why, so she can lick your butthole?"

"Hey, fuck you, man!"

.

..

...

The next morning I ran a hand over Inuyasha's mass of hair before I left for work & prayed that he wouldn't get into any trouble while I was gone (though that was asking for too much).

I had lost track of time since the incident with my parents. I knew today was Thursday but I had no idea what the date was or even what month. I knew I got paid every other Tuesday; that was how I kept up with the days. But I bring that up because I didn't realize today was inspection day.

As soon as I walked in there was an air of tension & I immediately went into defense mode; my ears caught every sound, my eyes zeroed in on every movement, my claws were held at the ready. But when I walked into the breakroom & everyone was standing around, fidgeting nervously, I relaxed a bit.

"Inspection's today" one of my co-worker's murmured, tapping his foot impatiently on the floor.

That's it? These guys were acting like they had a loved one in the hospital & they were unsure as to whether they'd live or not. We always kept this place clean (minus the bathrooms, since some people thought it was funny to plug the toilets up with a roll of tissue) so there was really nothing to worry about there & most of us put things back where they should...that might be a problem. We worked with lazy people who felt it wasn't important to put things away before they left & God have mercy on them if they were caught but our fire chief didn't check often so there wasn't much to worry about...except when the inspecter came.

"Dude, we are so gunna get chewed out by the chief" a guy whispered to his buddy.

"I told you to put that damn ladder back but no you just had to rush home & be with your little girlfriend!" the friend bit back, frowning.

"If you'd seen the picture of her that she sent me you would've rushed home to her too!"

"Enough" the captain, Naraku, commanded in a low growl, "This is no time for bickering"

"What are we supposed to do, stand around & pray that the insection goes well so we don't have to run fifteen laps around the station?" Koga, the lieutenant, mumbled.

"Precisely" Naraku answered cooly.

At that moment the fire chief & the inspector walked into. The chief's face was always in a scowl so it was hard to tell if the inspection went well or not but the inspector's face registered disappointment.

"You all enjoy the rest of your afternoons" he said & left.

There was a moment of silence as everyone waited for the chief to speak but refusing to make eye contact with him.

"Get your PT gear on" the chief growled, "You'll be spending the next two hours busting your ass, exercising"

There was a collective sigh of disappointment & reluctance but we all ambled to the locker rooms, dressing in our grey shorts & grey t-shirts. We could hear some of the women continuing to moan & complain about having to do PT all because of some lazy jerk not wanting to do his or her job & some of the men were begining to get annoyed.

"Someone better tell those clucking hens to shut their trap before I cut their heads off" one of the men mumbled.

"Then how would they give you head?" Koga commented, earning a few laughs & high fives.

"I bet they're over there talking about how much they want to bang us" we heard one of the women say.

"Not like any of them are going to get it" the other replied & a few of the men made annoyed noises in the back of their throats.

"Well, except that new guy...what's his name, Sesshomaru?"

I froze as I felt all the mens' eyes turn to me & burn holes into my back.

"Oh my gawd I would rock his world"

"Girl he could rock mine!"

"He has the body of a God!"

"& the face of a supermodel"

With every compliment I felt my cheeks & ears grow hotter & the growing urge to sink my head in-between my shoulders. Sometimes it was a curse being so attractive.

"Koga's cute"

Koga puffed his chest out in pride as an arrogant smile graced his face.

"Sesshomaru looks better & isn't such an arrogant jerk though"

The wolf's chest deflated as he aimed a glare towards me. I shrugged, smirking.

"Stop standing around, listening to those airheads stroke your ego & act like you have something to do" Naraku growled & everyone slipped into their sneakers & jogged out to the open field where we did fifty push-ups, fifty sit-ups, two hundred jumping jacks then ran eight miles. I didn't have a particularly hard time doing all of that but I began to feel tired after six laps. It's been a while since my track & field days.

I was the first to finish so I was allowed to stand at parade rest until everyone was finished, taking sips from my water bottle when needed. The women had now taken to walking casually around the track, talking groups & gesturing as they gossiped, causing me to roll my eyes. Half the time we got punished & had to do more PT because of them.

"You're a hard worker"

I turned to see Naraku standing beside me, hands clasped behind his back. Had he been there the whole time?

"Thanks"

"I can tell by the way you hold your body that you were an athlete, yes?"

"Yeah I ran track & field & played some sports in high school"

He nodded to himself as if he answered a question in his head before glaring at the group of women walking, mumbling something about, "Lazy females that act like they don't have to work hard just because the world has gone to shit" under his breath. He stalked towards them, claws curled into fists.

"Pick it up, you lazy bums! The faster you get done, the faster you can get your asses to a more appropiate place to gossip so you can stop wasting my damn time!"

I smirked as the women gave him dirty looks & proceeded to walk a bit faster. Naraku's body tensed like he was getting ready to do his signature booming yell to call everyone into formation or to generally just chew us out but he seemed to deflate & he shook his head slightly before walking back over to where I was on the grass, standing off to my right.

"What is it that keeps you going?" he asked me quietly.

"Pardon?"

"Why do you bother to get up? Don't you ever feel like giving up?"

The questions didn't really surprise me, it was just the fact that he was asking them that put me into a slight state of shock. For him to be asking me this, it was very possible that he was feeling that way himself most, if not all, the time. Wow, so the cold spider wasn't motivated by yelling in our faces, screaming how imcompetent we were?

"Well, sir, I have a little brother I have to be strong for. I'm all he has & he's all I have"

The side of Naraku's mouth twitched & he nodded slightly again. "I see. That's very honorable of you. Your father must be proud"

I gritted my teeth against the warm moistness that threatened to come to my eyes. "Thank you sir. I'd like to think he would be too if he saw me now"

"Get your asses into formation!" Naraku's booming baritone of a voice carried out across the whole field & I was thankful to be distracted. The rest of the platoon gathered & stood at attention while Naraku fell into formation & the fire chief came strolling out of the building, his hands clasped behind his back.

"As you know...the inspection did not go as well as it could have" he started in a low voice, "Things were out of place...some things were not cleaned...& other things could've been neater. I expected much better out of you all but I won't stand here & waste my breath on lecturing you like you're all children. Do you understand?"

"Sir, yes, sir!" our voices shouted in unison.

"Will we do better next time?"

"Sir, yes, sir!"

"Good. Get to work"

"Platoon dismissed!" Naraku shouted while the fire chief ambled back into the building, most likely back into his office.

As we fell out of formation & went inside to begin cleaning I happened to overhear two women talking quietly.

"-Heard his wife got turned the other day"

"What? They aren't in the walls are they?" the other one squeal breathlessly.

"No, no. When he came here she had been bitten already & then the transformation completed & they had to throw her outside the gates"

"Oh my gawd, that's awful. No wonder he's been yelling so much louder lately"

"Jakotsu said sometimes he can hear him crying at night"

"Naraku, crying? Yeah, whatever"

I felt my eyebrows draw together. His wife's transformation could've very well been the reason why he asked me how do I get the motivation to get up in the morning. It was hard enough losing my parents, I couldn't imagine the pain of losing a spouse.

I shuddered & walked faster to get them out of my hearing range but the whole time we cleaned & scrubbed & wiped & swept & dusted & straightened up, I kept thinking about Naraku & how he really finds it in him to get up in the mornings.

.

..

...

I wasn't surprised to come home & find Inuyasha sitting in front of the TV, eating a bowl of oatmeal, his feet up on the coffee table.

"Take your feet down" I said quietly, putting my things down & sitting heavily on the loveseat.

"Hey to you too" Inuyasha grumbled around a mouthful of food, laying his feet on the floor, "Guess you had a bad day, eh?"

"Not really. Just really tired"

"You save any kittens?"

"I cleaned the building until the bricks shined"

"Damn"

"Exactly"

"You should get your girlfriend to come over here & give you a blowjob"

"What? Ok, first of all, she's not my girlfriend. Second, I don't want a blowjob. & third, no one's coming over here, especially not her. You're running from the cops, remember?"

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Dude, you may think you don't need a blowjob but you do. You wouldn't believe how good a jizz would make you feel. I bet she'd like you to jizz on her face-"

"Cut it out"

"I'm serious! Look when I get stressed I just jack off & bam! I feel so much better"

I started to say something then I glared at him. "You better not have jacked off since you've been living here, especially not in my room..."

Inuyasha looked away, ears laying out from both sides of his head & I flung a pillow at his face.

"You sick little prick! You're going to handwash my sheets!"

"Ok, ok! Damn, it's not like I shat on them or something, it's just cum"

"I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it if I left my essence on your sheets"

Inuyasha shrugged, setting his bowl down. "Long as it isn't still wet"

I stared at him, my mouth open in horror & my eyes unbelieving.

"I have fucked up morals, I know, I know!' he shouted, balling his hands into fists.

I stood slowly & went to the kitchen the see what I could scrape up for dinner, trying to ignore the uncomfortable silence. "Would you have considered that your dinner?"

"Nah I only jizzed like three times, not enough to satisfy m-"

"I wasn't talking about that you disgusting idiot!"

"Oh, oh, you meant food, my bad" I could almost see the embarassed way one of his ears would fall limply to the side, his whole face red, "Uh, yeah I'm good man. I don't want to eat you out of a house & home & all"

I sighed, closing the fridge that only contained some mayo, a few water bottles & a container of baking soda. "You already have"

"Dude you can still make a bologna sandwich with some noodles"

"There's no bread, no bologna & no noodles, Yasha"

"...Oh..."

I closed the fridge & sat back down in the living room, sighing in disgust. "We have to get out of here"

"& go where? There's this restaurant down the street a bit-"

"No, no, I mean we need to get out of this city. We have to leave soon"

Inuyasha tilted his head, giving me that look that used to make Mother cave in & give him anything he wanted. "Why?"

"For a number of reasons: one, you're a fugitive, two, we're going to starve at the rate that you eat, & three, because you're a fugitive & you're living with me & I know you're a fugitive which makes me an accomplice & that means if you get caught I get caught & then shit just goes downhill from there"

He looked down at the floor & considered that before saying anything, his torn right ear twitching. "What's the closest city?"

I sighed. "Urayasu"

Inuyasha nodded to himself, eyes glowing in excitment. "Ok, ok, that's only like 12 miles"

"But since it's so close who's to say they haven't heard about your little stunt at the gas station?"

His ears drooped when he came to that realization. "So where are we gunna go?"

"It should be a place where we might know someone; starting over from scratch again will just be a headache"

"Kikyo is in Chou"

"We are not going to be anywhere near your crazy ex-girlfriend"

"She wasn't crazy! Just...misunderstood"

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever"

"There's Yura. She's in Musashino"

I grimaced & shook my head quickly.

"& her gay brother in Soka"

"Hell no"

Inuyasha burst out laughing. "Dude, he had the biggest crush on you. He used to go on & on about how he wanted to suck your di-"

"Yasha, focus!"

"Fine, fine. What do you suggest?"

"Father had a friend in Kawaguchi. Hosenki, I believe his name is"

"Think he still lives there?"

"We could check"

Inuyasha sighed & rolled his eyes. "I don't want to go on a wild goosechase"

"Well I don't either! But we need to plan it out so we're not wandering all over Japan. We don't have enough supply for that"

"Speaking of..."

The way Inuyasha trailed off made me realize what I had just said. We'd need to save up supplies like food & water before we left; there was no telling how long or soon it'd take to get to the next city & then there was no guarantee the nearest city was gated.

"Dude, it's gunna be a while before we can leave"

I leaned forward & rested my elbows on my knees, deep in thought. "We're going to have to find some kind of container to hold our water, save all of our food, which means you're to have to cut back...a lot-"

He groaned.

"& we need a car & preferably something to put all of our items in"

"Your neighbor has a car"

I looked at him sharply. "Say what?"

Inuyasha shrugged one shoulder. "I saw the old biddy getting in it the other day. She keeps the key under the driver's seat"

"How do you know this? & why the hell would she keep the key in the car?"

"Cause I get nosy when I'm bored & I have no fucking idea, man"

I narrowed my eyes at him. "What else have you been poking your nose into?"

His eyes went wide for a moment. "You got something to hide?"

"No"

"You answered too quickly"

"Inuyasha!"

"Why so damn serious? Geez dude"

I massaged my forehead & sighed. We didn't have time for arguing. We needed a plan, not necessarily foolproof but logical, but it was so hard when your little brother practically had ADHD.

'It's going to be a long night...'

.

..

...

When we finally made detailed plans on how to get the car, where to go, when to go & how we were going to save food, it was three thirty in the morning. Inuyasha was now on the sofa, his long limbs thrown in every which direction, snoring. I had passed the state of sleepiness long ago, now I just felt like a zomb-...well...you know...I felt like I was barely alive.

I wanted to get up & go to my bedroom but my legs wouldn't cooperate with me & the next thing I knew the sun was warming the skin on my arm & I felt a strong urge to stretch. When I did my joints popped so much I sounded like bubble wrap. I grimaced as I popped my neck, making a mental note to make sure I take my ass to my comfortable bed next time. God knew I was too old to be sleeping on the couch like I was a teenager. & speaking of teenager, Inuyasha was still lounging on the sofa but he was staring at the cieling, hands folded on his stomach.

"You sleep like the dead" he said quietly.

"What are you talking about?" I've always hated how husky my voice sounded in the morning. I sounded like I was trying to seduce someone.

"You don't snore, you don't move...when I went to piss I had to check your pulse to see if you were alive"

"Aw do you really care about me that much?"

I meant it as a joke but a pained expression crossed his face. "You're all I have left..."

I sighed. "I know. I'm sorry, I was just-"

"I know"

There was a comfortable silence before Inuyasha chuckled to himself. "I was thinking about Mom's waffles. She'd text me, telling me they were ready but I was already up & ready to eat. They were so awesome. & Dad...he'd always eat the most...hey, remember that time when he made waffles & they were burnt & me, you & Mom sat there & forced ourselves to eat it just so we wouldn't hurt his feelings?"

I chuckled. "I remember"

Inuyasha smiled to himself. "He was so proud of himself, chest all puffed out & shit. He burnt the waffles, the bacon, the eggs...it all tasted like cardboard"

He let out another laugh that was a little louder this time but it trailed off into a whimper.

"Yasha?"

Unshed tears shimmered on his long eyelashes as he gave me a pleading look. "Sessh, I miss them so much"

I got up & pulled him into my lap, letting him curl up & cry into my shirt as I rocked him slowly back & forth. I didn't feel it'd be appropiate to tell him that it was going to be ok & that things would get better & that it wouldn't always be this way. I couldn't lie to him like that. Maybe it would get better...but it was very likely it would not.

"I take back every bad thing I ever said about Dad & all the time I gave him shit & all the time I didn't spend with Mom when she was lonely cause Dad was away on business trips & I'm sorry I gave them such a hard time cause I was hard headed &-"

I continued rocking him, running my fingers through his hair but letting him vent. This was probably the first time he got to mourn since they were turned.

"Sessh I love them so much. I'm so sorry. I love you too, even when I say I hate you. I'm so sorry..."

"I know, I know, little one. I love you too" I whispered, kissing the top of his head, "I know"
