A/N: This is just trial run for a Vampire Knight/Inuyasha crossover. If you want me to continue it leave a review stating so. I am just on the second book of the manga and watched one episode, so if the characters seem out of place forgive me.

Chapter One:

"You're on in five minutes Kags." A petite young woman called out from behind a curtain before walking towards the person she was calling for.

"Thanks Megumi, I'll be out soon." She replied before putting on a thin sheet of gloss on her already plump pink lips, the younger girl nodded enthusiastically before running off and attending to all the other performers that would be singing that night. A soft sigh escaped the woman's lips as she checked her reflection in the mirror.

"Pull yourself together." She told her self before untying her long raven locks from their messy chamber and letting the black silk like threads fall down her back. She turned to the side and let out another exaggerated sigh before standing up and making her way towards the small stage. She could already hear the murmurs and whispers from the crowd outside as the soft beat of the piano sounded off through the place.

"Here, now go out there and sing your ass off like I know you can!" A tall male stated before giving her a slight push. She rolled her eyes before taking in a deep breath and walking towards the stage. She sat in her normal stool and crossed her long legs before closing her eyes and getting lost in the music.

"Natsukashii itamidawa

Zutto mae ni wasureteita

Demo anata wo mita toki

Jikan dake ato modori shita no

Shiawaseta? Kikanaide

Uso tsuku nowa jouzujanai

Tomodachi nara irukedo

Auna niwa moeagarenakute

Ushinaata yume dakega

Utsukushiku mieru nowa

Naze kashira

Sugisaata yasashisa mo ima wa

Amai kioku

Sweet Memories"

The crowd went silent as she sang her heart out practically pouring out everything she went through in the past. The heartbreaks, the trials, the tribulations and all the tears she had cried for him, and for them. She tried her best to push back the memories as she opened up her eyes, blue clashed with red as she looked up at an oddly beautiful male standing in the back, his bloody red eyes glowing in the dim lighting as he watched her intently. A cold wind passed by her causing goose flesh to raise up her slender arm as she closed her eyes once more, a tear sliding down her heart shaped face as she continued her song.

"Don't kiss me baby, we can never be

So don't add more pain, please don't hurt me again

I have spent so many nights thinking of you

Longing for your touch

I have once loved you so much…..

Anokoro wa wakasugite

Itazura ni kizu tsukeaatta fatari

Iro aseta kanashimi mo ima wa

Tooi kioku

Sweet memories…"

A round of applause sounded through out the small establishment as the music faded and she hopped down from her post. Her lips curled in to a small smile as she took a small bow and walked off the stage.

"You did amazing Kagome." Megumi greeted as she presented the lithe female a bouquet of red roses.

"Thank you Megumi but you didn't have too." Kagome replied as she took the flowers.

"Oh nooo Kagome, I didn't buy them this really handsome tall man did, he asked me to give them to you while you were finishing your song!" Megumi stated before waving goodbye and walking off. Kagome watched her leave before shrugging her shoulders and walking towards the dressing room to get her things.

"Excuse me miss." A deep velvet voice called out causing her to turn around. Her eyes widened slightly as she stared up at the man she had been eyeing for the past months. All the blood in her body seemed to rush to her cheeks as she turned away.

"I'm sorry for staring, you just surprised me." A small smile erupted from the male as he offered her his hand. Kagome stared at it for a few seconds before setting her smaller appendage in his and allowing him to escort her towards the dressing rooms.

"I know this may seem abrupt but would you do me the favor of joining me for some coffee?" He questioned as she grabbed her belongings, she bit her bottom lip and contemplated the question before turning towards him and nodding; it had been months since she went out, why not with him?

"Okay, tomorrow night maybe? I can't really go tonight; I still have to watch over my mother." Kagome replied as he took one of her larger bags and followed her towards an awaiting taxi.

"Tomorrow is fine shall we meet by the café' close to the bookstore on 5th street by the plaza at say around seven?"

"Sounds wonderful, that's my favorite place."

"It's a date than." The mysterious man stated before handing her the large bag.

"I didn't get your name by the way." She stated suddenly before he could close the door.

"Kuran, Kaname Kuran." He replied with a small smile before closing the door and watching her disappear through the streets and snow.

"Are you ready to go Kaname?" A blonde haired green eyed male stated out of no where. Kaname closed his eyes and turned towards him before nodding.

"Yes Aido." He replied before following after the jubilant blond and his cousin.

[The next day]

"Bye mom, I'll be home later on tonight. I love you guys!" Kagome yelled out before grabbing her scarf, coat, and large purse. She ran out of the house and stopped at the shrine steps before turning her head to face the well house that brought so much pain. She put her hand up to her aching heart before slipping on her mittens and letting out a sigh.

'Forget it Kagome, that was the past you have a future to look towards now.' She told her self before turning back towards the steps and flying down the flight of stairs and across the street towards a hoard of taxi's waiting for passengers. It was already nearing seven and she didn't want to make a bad impression on a first date.

'Date? What am I thinking this can't be a date, more like a friendly get together?' She tried to convince her self as she slipped inside the warm vehicle and directed the man towards the café fifteen minutes away. Many thoughts raced through her flustered mind as she gathered up the courage to face the handsome man.

"We're here miss." The cab driver called out completely snapping her out of her daze as she handed him her money and exited the car. A shiver ran through her petite form as the cold winter chill swam through the air in a frosty dance. She secured her belongings before entering the quaint establishment and breathing in the welcoming freshness of brewed coffee, cinnamon, and other enticing scents that only café's could bring.

"For a minute there I was starting to believe you stood me up." A silky voice stated causing her to whip her head to the side and smile up at the elegant looking male. She quickly brushed off the small bits of snow on her coat before setting her things down and taking it off to reveal a black dress that reached mid thigh on top of a long sleeved white shirt and underneath a oversized cardigan, her legs sported knee high black and white stockings complete a pair of slouchy suede boots.

"Of course not, my apologies for being late." Kagome replied as a blush found its way to her cheeks. He offered her a small smile and a seat before handing her a menu.

"Order anything you like." He stated before scanning the menu over once and putting it down.

"Good evening ma'am, sir, what can I get you for today?" A young girl that looked to be sixteen questioned before pulling out a notepad and pink pen.

"Coffee, black preferably and your bloody Sunday special." The stoic male replied before handing her his menu.

"I'd like a mocha macchiato please, real hot and that's it." Kagome added with a bright smile before following his lead.

"Coming right up." The waitress stated before walking away to fulfill their orders. Kagome let out another sigh before propping her chin on her hand and tapping her fingers on the table.

"Something on your mind?" Kaname questioned as he flipped through the book he brought with him.

"A lot I guess you could say but aside from that I feel embarrassed that I haven't even introduced myself to you." The young woman stated as she looked up at him, "My name's Kagome by the way."

A light chuckle erupted from the impassive male as he turned his red eyes towards her. Amusement danced through the molten pools of crimson before dieing back down to their normal apathetic tone. Kagome fidgeted for a few seconds as she adjusted her self to the way he could mask himself so quickly. The familiarity of his calm and aloof attitude brought back memories she tried hard to suppress.

"Nice to finally know the name behind the beauty and the voice." He replied in a calm tone.

"I guess so…" She replied nonchalantly as the waitress came back with their orders. Her face lit up instantly at the sight of the delicious drink before blowing off the rising steam and taking a small sip. The flavor woke up her taste buds as bursts of chocolate and coffee flowed through her tongue leaving nothing but tastiness in its wake.

"So tell me about yourself Kagome." Kagome looked up from her beverage before setting it down in front of her and taking in a deep breath.

"There's not much to say about me, I'm just a normal girl that happens to live on a shrine with her mother, brother, and grandfather. I'm currently twenty and stuck at a bar gig while going to school in the morning and singing in order to help my mother out." She stated flatly before taking another sip.

"I see." Kaname replied as he took a sip of his coffee and set it down. "I see a lot of mystery that surrounds you, but I will not push the subject."

Kagome was taken back by his understanding nature, she was so use to abrasive, brash, behavior that she had forgotten what calm and collected looked like. She shook off the feeling once again before looking up at him and taking in another deep breath. For the rest of the night they chatted aimlessly about their individual lives, each leaving out great details but still keeping things in order. By the end of the night they both felt they had a great knowledge of one another. Kagome's smiles widened and appeared brighter as Kaname seemed to ease up and warm up towards her carefree and kind hearted attitude. They both were lost in conversation that time had completely slipped beneath them. Only the clanking of chairs around them woke them up from each other enough for realization to dawn in.

"Oh my god it's already eleven, I need to get to work." Kagome stated frantically as she searched through her purse for her wallet.

"Do not worry abou it Kagome, I invited you so I will take care of the bill." Kaname stated as he stood up the same time she did.

"I can't let you do that Kaname….." She began but stopped as she saw the look of finality in his red orbs.

"Fine, but I'm leaving the tip!" She countered with a playful smirk before setting down some money and grabbing her things. Kaname could only smile at her childishness before guiding her out the door and in to the cold night once again, Kagome huddled closer to his warmth before extending her arm out to call for a taxi only to stop as he lead her towards a all black Bentley parked close to the restaurant.

"You've already done a lot Kaname." She blushed as he opened the door for her.

"Nonsense." Was his reply as he shut the door and got in to the drivers seat.

"You've done enough Kaname, I already feel embarrassed that you paid for everything."

"Kagome, a coffee is hardly anything but promise me you will join me for another night out tomorrow?"

Kagome let the words sink in to her brain before playing around with the idea and nodding her reply.

"Okay, I had great fun tonight and I feel like I know more about you."

"That's wonderful." Kaname answered before starting his engine and driving away.

[End]

It's a rocky start but it will gradually progress over time. I have everything mapped out already, this will be exciting, if you like it let me know in a review!
