Mercedes slumped to the floor her face was really hurting her Though it wasn’t as bad as when she was younger Those days made her so afraid to come home. Sesshoumaru was always intimidating.
Flashback
A 15 year old Sesshoumaru and a 9 year old Mercedes were sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast. “Sesshoumaru darling I am leaving you in charge of Mercedes till Hiroshi and I come back.” his mom told him.
“Yes Mother.” he said.
“That means my little pup you will obey him, I am giving him permission to punish you as he sees fit.”
“But mommy why, can’t you hire a baby sitter?” Mercedes asked her.
“ I could but I thinks it better that your big brother watches you.” she said as she kissed her and Sesshoumaru on the cheek before leaving .

Mercedes sighed as she looked at Sesshoumaru. “I’ll try to be a good girl big brother.” she said to him.

"Of course you will." Sesshomaru told her as he stood up and began to clear off the table. "Don't you have school work to finish?" Sesshomaru asked her as he put the last plate in the dish washer. "It's all most done, I just have a few math problems that I need help with." She responded.
"Go to your room, I will be up there in a minute to help you." Sesshoumaru told her. Mercedes stood up and walked to her room.


She left the kitchen and went up to her bedroom, and took her math book and put it on her bed opening it to the page she needed help with. Mercedes than walked over to her dresser and combed her long silvery white hair.
" I wonder what I would look like with blue eyes and black hair." she said. Sesshoumaru walked into Mercedes bedroom and saw her looking at herself in the mirror. " Sesshoumaru can I go and see my friend today? I ,meant to ask mommy but I forgot." she asked him. "We'll see after your school work is done." he said to her.

"Okay." Mercedes said as she stood up and walked over to her bad and set down by the book. "Which ones do you need help with?" Sesshomaru asked her. "All of them." She responded. "Excuse me?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Well, I didn't understand in class." She told him.
"You weren’t paying attention." Sesshomaru told her.
"Maybe." She responded. Sesshomaru then looked annoyed.

Mercedes looked at him. "I'm sorry, I..I'll wait for my daddy to help me ." She said shaking as she closed her book.
Sesshoumaru looked at her. "Why would you lie to me and tell me you only had a few when you have a whole damn page!" he yelled at her. Mercedes flinched at icy cold voice. "A..are you going to punish me?" she asked him.

"You have ten minutes to get it done. If your work is not completed by then, you will be punished." Sesshomaru told her just before he left her room. Mercedes smirked to herself as she walked over to her window. "He can’t punish me if I am not here." She said to herself as she climbed out of it. Her feet hit the grass and she took off running to her friends house.

Mercedes made it to her friends house. "Mercedes what are you doing here?" A young girl with dark hair and blue eyes asked her.
" Suki my parents left Sesshoumaru in charge and he's mad at me for lying to him about my work, he gave me ten minutes so can I hide here please?" Mercedes asked her friend.
"Yeah let's go to my room, my mom's not home right now." Suki told her.
The two girls went up to the bedroom and locked the door. The two listened to music. "I wish my hair was black like yours." Mercedes said to her.

Sesshomaru walked back into Mercedes's room and noticed that she wasn’t there. Sesshomaru growled. "She must be over at Suki's." He hissed to himself. Sesshomaru walked out of her room and slammed the door shut. He walked out of the house and down the street to Suki's. He knocked on the door and a black headed Mercedes opened it.

Mercedes eyes went wide, she slammed the door in Sesshoumaru's face and ran up to Suki's room. "What's wrong?"Suki asked her.
"Sess..Sessshoumaru is at the front door." Mercedes stuttered.
"Go out through my window , I'll stall him." Suki told her.
"He's to big for you." Mercedes told her.
There was a knock on Suki's bedroom door. "You didn't lock the front door?." Suki whispered to Mercedes.
"Sesshoumaru you can't be here my mom doesn't allow boys over wen she's out." Suki yelled through the door.
"Send my sister out and I'll leave." he told her.

Mercedes left out of the window and ran back home, hoping that her parents were back. Suki opened the door. "She's not here." She told him.
Sesshomaru looked over at the window. "You know what I am capable of?" Sesshomaru asked her.
"Yes." She answered.
"Then stay out of my way and you wont get hurt." Sesshomaru told her just before he left her room. Sesshomaru made it back home and found Mercedes in her room.
"Don't touch me." she said letting out a little growl.
Sesshoumaru walked over to his little sister, he pulled a piece of her now black hair. "You disobeyed little sister." he said right before he slapped her across the face some of his poison seeping into her skin.
"I want my daddy." Mercedes cried.
" I don't care what you want, I told you I'd be back in ten minutes and you left!" he growled as she ran over and curled up trying to hide in the corner.
"Please don't hurt my friend." she said in between tears.

"I'm not going to hurt her, you little twit!" Sesshomaru growled as he walked over to her and grabbed her by the arm. Mercedes let out a slight cry of pain as she felt Sesshoumaru's poison seep into her arm. “Get your work done now! Or it will be a hell of a lot worse!" Sesshomaru hissed as he threw her next to the book.

End of Flashback :
Mercedes got up off the floor she took a shower and placed some cream on her face. She walked out her room and found Sesshoumaru sitting down reading in the den. "Why have you always beat me, and why didn't they ever stop you?" Mercedes asked him as her black hair covered her face.

"Because they made me." Sesshomaru told her in a toneless voice.
