I
don't believe
In the smile that you leave
When you walk
away
And say goodbye
Well I don't expect
The world to move
underneath me
But for God's sake
Could you try?
I know that
you're true to me
You're always there
You say you care
I
know that you want to be mine
Kagome leaned closer in Inuyasha's arms, her lips centimeters from his.
Where
is your heart?
'Cause I don't really feel you
Where is your
heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard
To
give me what I need?
I want your heart to bleed
That's all I'm
asking for
Oh, where is your heart?
Inuyasha just looked back at her. He dropped his arms and turned to walk away. Kagome put her hands on the back of his shoulders and rest her forehead on his back.
I
don't understand
Your love is so cold
It's always me that's
reaching out
For your hand
And I've always dreamed
That love
would be effortless
Like a petal fallin' to the ground
A
dreamer followin' his dream
"Stop." Sesshomaru got up from his chair and stepped onto the set. He didn't look at Kagome choosing to look at the wall behind her instead.
"Was it good?" Kagome stepped away from Inuyasha and stepped closer to Sesshomaru.
"It will do for this portion of the filming. Everyone get the stage ready, we'll film the scene with Kagome on stage next."
He turned and walked away, leaving everyone starring at where he'd been minutes before.
"Does that mean it's lunch time?"

Kagome followed after Sesshomaru. He went outside into the back alley and she came out a few seconds after him.
"What was that all about?" Kagome sat down on a crate and looked down at her feet.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Yes you do. After whatever happened yesterday in your studio, you have been avoiding me."
"And?"
"And I want to know why that is."
Sesshomaru stayed standing and glanced at her through the corner of his eye. "I told you that I played and someone else did the singing."
"Yeah."
"It was a long time ago. After I did my first few major films. I met a woman and we moved into the house we are currently staying at."
"Hmm."
"She loved to sing and I knew how to play the guitar. And so we recorded a few songs."
"Anything I've heard?"
"No, we never went public with them. She as it turns out, already had another band and a fiance. She'd sneak them into my studio when I was off filming."
Kagome frowned. "That's so sad."
Sesshomaru shrugged. "It was no matter to me. I was rid of her once I found his scent in my home."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Your singing voice, is like hers. It has a magic to it."
"Yes, it does. My ancestors are said to have been miko's. My voice is what I inherited."
"I think she was the same way."
"Who was she? Anyone I know?"
"Yes, I think you do."
"Who?"
"Kagura."
Kagome's eyes widened in shock. "Kagura? I have met her. Her work, it's brilliant."
"Yes, her work may be but I can not say the same for her personality."
"You want to know something?"
"What?"
"The song 'Where Is Your Heart', well I wrote it about you."

Kagome didn't talk much on the way back to Sesshomaru's. Not only was she exhausted, but she was too busy thinking about what Sesshomaru told her.
'So I just remind him of his ex? And here I was thinking he might actually like me or something. How stupid am I?'
"Kagome?"
Kagome jumped at the sound of Sesshomaru's voice.
"What?"
"We're here, you can get out now."
Kagome rolled her eyes and got out of the car. She went to the door and went inside the house without waiting for Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru sat in his office and rubbed his temples with the tips of his fingers.
'I told her too much about myself.'
He sighed and looked down at some paperwork. A knock on the door brought him out of his thoughts.
"Come in."
Kagome opened the door slowly and walked in with a plate of food. "You weren't at dinner, so I thought you might be hungry."
Sesshomaru didn't say anything as Kagome put the plate down in front of him and sat across from him.
"Your office is really nice."
"I suppose."
Kagome fidgeted with the bottom of her shirt. "I'm sorry."
"May I ask why?"
"For, you know, bringing up old memories. If I'd known that my voice reminded of you of someone else, I wouldn't have, well, I don't know what I'd have done, but I'm sorry anyway."
Sesshomaru raised his eyebrow. 'She's jealous of Kagura.'
Kagome got swiftly to her feet. "I'll see you in the morning I guess."
"Wait, Kagome. I do not think you understood what I told you."
"Was I supposed to be reading between the lines or something because it seemed pretty clear to me."
"I did not mean that you are anything like Kagura. You are not. And your voice, holds a different magic. While Kagura uses hers to ensnare victims, you use yours to bring happiness to others."
Kagome opened and closed her mouth in shock. "Um, thanks."
Sesshomaru looked her in the eyes. "There is nothing to be jealous of Kagome. Now go to bed."
"Okay, but Sesshomaru?"
"Yes?"
"I think I may have written my song a little too hastily. I think you do have a heart after all." Kagome smiled sweetly and left the room.
