"What?! How the hell did this happen?" Kouga slammed his fist down on the chestnut table top, his eyes narrowing across to Myoga. "How the hell is he able to do all of this?"

"He's the President of DreamMix Television; he can do whatever the hell he wants to. And right now what he has done makes it really hard for us to release your next CD. He bought out all of our venues plus the recording studios. Let me contact him again to see if we can strike a deal." Myoga pulled out his silver Nokia phone and punched in Sesshomaru's main number. While he was on the phone with whom the guys believed to be Sesshomaru's assistant, the aura in the room rapidly decreased to an upsetting degree. With the flip of Myoga's cell, he looked to the band and let out a sigh. "Sesshomaru will make us a deal, but…"

"Well what is it Myoga? Spit it out." Inuyasha commanded his manager for he had trailed off and stopped speaking for a while.

"He wants Miss Higurashi to become the exclusive lyricist to Sido Music."

"Hell no. I won't let that happen." Inuyasha's voice raised an octave and it came out sharp and firm as if daring the others to make him waver from his decision.

"Now, hold on Inuyasha. Let's talk this out more." Miroku rose from his seat and tried to calm down his band-mate.

"No. In no absolute way am I letting Kagome do that, Miroku." Inuyasha rebutted to his long-term friend.

"I am right here you know?" Kagome spoke for the first time since arriving at the station. "You don't have to talk about me like I'm not here." She lifted her head to look at Inuyasha and let out a sigh. "I have to do it, Inuyasha. It's the only way."

"No it's not Kagome. We'll figure something out; I don't want you working with that man." Inuyasha spoke to her, his voice returning to his normal tone, but it still carried a hint of determination in it.

"But if it lets you guys release your album it'd be better for me to go." Her tone rose as she spoke to him, he was being stubborn and she knew that her being direct would be the only way to get the point across to him.

"No Kagome." He slammed his fist down against the chestnut table in anger. "I won't allow it."

Myoga came around the table and started guiding Kagome to the door, practically telling her to get out while she could. "Kagome… perhaps we should get you home. We'll figure something out and we'll give you a call, how bout that?" With a nod from Kagome, she started to head out of the room to leave behind a fuming Inuyasha and the rest of Demonic attempting to talk him out of his brash choice. But before Myoga could even open the door it had slammed open revealing a new intern that the company had co-op'ed with during his last year of college to become a television receptionist.

"Mr. Fleoni the phone's ringing off the hook. All of the networks are canceling Demonic appearances. We need more people to cover the phones, there's only me and a couple others." The intern rubbed his hands over his face, it was only into his second week here and everything was going downhill.

"Get all of the non-essentials from floors 5 and 7 to take over the phones. It's going to get a lot more hectic around here. Guys…" Myoga turned to look at the band and let out a frustrated sigh. "You might want to go ahead and call it day; I'll get a hold of you guys later when I get more concrete information. Kagome, you might want to lay low for a while."

Kagome nodded her head and made her way out of the building, leaving Demonic to converse with each other. It was nearing six in the evening. It had been a long day and her mind was already filled with thoughts of the band and the issues that they were dealing with. She dismally remembered that today was the day of her Calculus test. She had missed yet another one again. She was pretty sure that her grades were well below average. She would need to crack down on her studies soon. Walking down the sidewalk of the busy streets of Shiodome, Kagome let out a sigh.

"What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall of Vibe Records. It must be madness in there." A familiar voice spoke over her shoulder. And with a turn of her head she came face to face… well she had to upturn her head to make their eyes connect with cold amber ones.

"Why? Why the hell are you doing this?" Kagome pointed her finger in his chest making him take a step back and his eyes tapered slightly at the young girl.

"Why? It's for you of course." Sesshomaru stated coolly, his shoulders shrugging slightly.

"Me?! Money can't buy someone's feelings!" Kagome lifted her hand away from him and felt her eyes constrict, her anger starting to get the best of her.

"Are you sure about that? In my arms every night adorned with expensive dresses and jewels. I've bought and sold many women before you… Kagome." Sesshomaru wrapped his hand around her small bicep and pulled her closer to him. But he didn't anticipate her next move for he released his hold and took a step back from where her hand had collided with his cheek, leaving a red imprint from the force of her action.

"I can't believe you share the same blood with Inuyasha. I sure do feel sorry for him to have a half-brother like you." Kagome commented before turning her back to him and running the rest of the way to the station and grabbed the next tram back to her place. Sliding her card in and out of the electronic pay machine, she heard the soft ding of her cell phone notifying her that she had received a text. Pulling it out she noticed that it was from Inuyasha telling her that he wouldn't be home tonight. For the third time that day she released a sigh. She rode the tram silently back to town and pressed her eyes shut as she was getting ready to turn the key in the lock, but she crumpled to the floor in front of the door and let out a shaky breath as a lone tear trekked its way down her cheek. I'm going to have to write for Sido Music. I won't be able to write for Inuyasha anymore but it's the only way to let the guys release their next CD. It-It's better if I go. More tears stained her cheeks as the thought of leaving Inuyasha frightened her.

"Inuyasha… where are you?" She muttered, huddling in front of the door with her face resting on her legs that were pulled up to her chest by her arms.

"I'm here." She felt his breath against her neck. And when she lifted her tear-stained face and red puffy eyes made contact with his concerned amber ones.

"Inu-Inuyasha, why are you here? I thought you weren't going to be home."

"I can't stay long, but I figured you would be worried." Inuyasha smiled softly to the girl and helped her to her feet. "Now why don't we get you inside where it's warmer." Turning Kagome's key he heard the lock release and shouldered the door open while wrapping an arm around her and guided her inside.

"Oh." Kagome breathed out and leaned her head on his shoulder relishing in the fact that he was there.

"What would you have done if I didn't come?" Inuyasha lifted her face to let his eyes travel over her soft features.

"I probably would've been still sitting there, waiting I guess." She shrugged her shoulders trying to evade the idea about her waiting the entire night for him. When he had lifted her face to look at him, she tried to smile for him, but failed. "Um… when I go to Sido to become their lyricist no-nothing will change between us right? I mean it doesn't really matter who I write for as long as…"

"No. Kagome, I'm not sending you to Sido Music. Sesshomaru Masaki can go fuck himself for all I care."

"But Inuyasha…" Kagome placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah sure Myoga is practically pissing in his pants about all of this, but the guys and I are having fun with it. It'll be nice to see how far we can get without the publicity. Now I'm not going to just hand you over to Sesshomaru without a fight. I'm never going to let anyone take you away from me." Inuyasha spoke calmly to her.

"But I was almost positive that I would have to go…"

"Don't you trust me Kagome?" Inuyasha's amber eyes bore into her chocolate ones. She nodded her head slowly and pressed her lips together before the need to wet them came over her and she let the tip of her tongue slip through her pink lips to moisten them. "Mark me."

"Mark you? As in…" Her voice trailed off, he couldn't mean what she thought he meant, did he?

"Yes, Kagome, as in a hickey." Inuyasha slid his arm out of his button up shirt and exposed his collarbone to her, his finger tapped on a patch of skin at the corner where his clavicle and his throat joined, his black hair caressing the skin that he bared. "Here."

"Are you sure?" Kagome asked as the nervousness in her spiked. If he allowed it, this would be the first time that she would kiss his body and leave a mark on him.

"Yes I'm sure." Casually he pulled her closer to him and ran his hand through her silky ebony hair, which shone like the wing of a crow under a full moon, to soothe her nerves. It worked because the next thing he felt were lips moving silently over his collar bone. He released a soft sigh and ran his hands down from her hand and rested them on her hips. The fingers on his right hand lifted the corner of her shirt and ran his fingers along her pelvic bone. "Hnn." Feeling her lips suck a patch of his skin inside of her mouth he let out a compliant moan of pleasure. Yes he did know a lot about sex and had some knowledge of relationships, but never in his past had one girl turned him on so much.

Slowly she pulled away from him and kissed the patch of skin just as sensually as when she had given him the hickey. A blush crept over her cheeks as her eyes stared at the red mark she had given him. It looked tacky against his bronzed skin, it seemed out of place and that she had done it to him. "It looks tacky." She muttered softly not even thinking that she had said it aloud, though hearing Inuyasha chuckle made her realize her slip of the tongue.

"But it was enjoyable, wasn't it?" Smirking, he held her face up to his and kissed her long and hard before letting her rest back on the heels of her feet. With a quick glance at the watch on his wrist he let out a sigh. "I have to get back to office."

"But… can't you relax for the rest of the night, it's getting late." Kagome tilted her head to side and looked at him.

"I can't. We have to get this done. Don't worry Kagome, everything will be alright. Now don't even start thinking that I'm going to let you to go Sido Music, okay?" Inuyasha gave her his signature smirk and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Okay." Kagome muttered softly and wrapped her arms around his waist to try and stall him on getting back to business.

But he unhooked her arms from around him and lowered his head and gave her a deep kiss. "Now I'm leaving and I want you to try and get some sleep. I'll call you in the morning." Again he lowered his head and kissed her before leaving for the night.


The sun shone in the room, the rays fell and illuminated a king-sized crème bed-spread that was wrapped around a petite body. Black hair was spread across the beige pillowcase and the body let out a groan. It was too early, and as her eyelid fluttered open the red digits on the alarm clock confirmed her suspicions, 7:04 she read. It was early. Before she could get comfortable in the bed, her cell phone rang it's annoying song that had come with the phone. Stretching her arm out to the side table she managed to grab her cell and accept the call before it was forwarded to her voice mail.

"Kagome speaking." She mumbled into the phone. Inuyasha's voice responded back to her. She bolted into a sitting position and cradled the phone to her ear to and covered her other ear with her hand to hear him. What she managed to hear from his voice was that he wanted her to come to Kiba Park. When he disconnected from her, she looked once more over to the alarm before getting up and tried to quickly get ready and get to Kiba Park. He had said he wanted her to be there in a half hour that only gave her fifteen minutes total to get ready. Taking a quick shower Kagome dried herself off and slipped into a red summer dress that came to her thighs. With a quick glance over her shoulder she took notice of the time and clasped a silver-chained cherry around her neck. And for the last touch, she slipped her feet into silver ballet flats. Grabbing her silver handbag she slid her make-up, wallet, brush, and cell phone into it before slinging it over her shoulder as she locked up the house and headed for Tokyo Metro.

Arriving at Kiba Park, Kagome was greeted to the sight of everyone crowding around a stage that had Demonic's equipment emblazoned on it. Turning her head every which way she kept seeing women of all ages and on occasion she had seem men, some with their girlfriends, some she presumed were gay that loved the band just as much as the female fan base did.

"Miss Higurashi." She somehow was able to hear Myoga's voice and managed to spot him next to the stage. Squaring her shoulders she slowly made her way over to Mr. Fleoni and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey Myoga, what's with the stage?" She questioned, her voice having to rise a little for him to hear her.

"You'll find out. We couldn't publicize it or anything because we were almost positive that Mr. Masaki would have done something to stop this from happening." Myoga responded. "And just look at this turn-out and all just by word of the mouth. Demonic can not be pushed around him." Kagome saw a grin break over Myoga's face and she couldn't stop from smiling herself. Before she could speak to Myoga, the repetition of Shippo banging on the drums brought her attention to the stage, just like the million others who turned their heads to the stage. As Shippo slowed his movements his foot pounded down on the pedal making the bass drum thump loudly through the speakers, the speakers letting the sound-waves hit everyone in the crowd. Kagome felt her body tremble as the music rocked her back a step. Miroku then joined in with his bass, his fingers strumming with every other beat, going up and then back down to the original note. Inuyasha and Kouga joined in at the same time.

"Let's think outside the lines
Reason and Logic, out the window
Had too much to drink
I don't want to think
I just want to feel you

Hands run up and down
Trying to shed ourselves of what conceals

We're down to the last garments
That hides our true selves
Unclasp that bra and
I'll show you mine if you show me yours

Let's think outside the lines
Reason and Logic, out the window
Had too much to drink
I don't want to think
I just want to feel you."

It felt like he was singing to her. Kagome could feel her body warm up drastically as the thought of her and Inuyasha going all the way. She felt her panties dampen but she pressed her thighs together to hide the fact, but her cheeks redden not believing that it had happened to her. The other females in the crowd though didn't hide that fact, some of them were moaning and swaying, others were yelling up at the guys and very quickly throwing the bras up on the stage. It was just like when they performed at Tokyo Arena. Everyone was going insane and they expressively showed it too. Kagome eyed the lead singer and licked her lips. Her eyes drifted down from his face and she blushed when she saw that his shirt was buttoned really low, exposing her hickey that she had given him to the entire audience. Her cheeks flamed up even more so. She couldn't believe it; somehow she had managed to snag the man that every female was wanting. He chose her. He had wanted her. And she definitely wanted him; there was no need to deny it. After he had finished singing, she heard Miroku and Shippo end the song. Miroku continued to strum his bass after Shippo finished and strummed an E that resonated throughout the park.

"I'm here in Kiba Park where an impromptu performance by Demonic had shut down traffic within 5 blocks. Ladies and Gentlemen, I've never seen anything like this, back to you Ai." A news reporter said to a camera. Blinking, Kagome then saw the camera-man lower his camera and the both of them turned and started walking in the direction of the stage where Demonic had vacated. They were probably hoping for a private interview with the band. Apparently not all the networks were following Sesshomaru Masaki's directions; at least that's what Kagome assumed what Sesshomaru would pressure other companies to do. To try to make other companies follow his way. She was starting to wonder what his next attempt would be.

Making her way she meandered her way to the stage, she figured that Inuyasha and the others would be in the back wings somewhere. She smiled softly as she saw Inuyasha receive a "Good Show" comment from of the stage-hands. At least that was what she presumed what was going on. As she walked towards him she beamed up to him.

"Hey." She said happily.

"Hey yourself," he grinned at her and leaned down to give her a kiss. He didn't even bother due to the public that surrounded the two. Miroku, Shippo and Kouga came into view and found themselves smiling at the pair. After the shared kiss, Kagome looked up to him, he was still grinning.

"What's up with you?" Kagome asked.

Shippo answered for his band-mate. "He's been on an adrenaline high now, so he was going nuts up there on stage. Now personally I think we should push it even further the next time."

"You always think that Ship." Kouga mentioned with a wolfish smile crossing his face.

"Hey, what do you guys think about doing a show under a different name? I think it'd be nice to be known by two names." Miroku commented as the thought had crossed his mind earlier in the day, mainly during their show.

"Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea. We could easily book a studio after this show." Kouga was starting to like the bassist idea.

"And you… You'll write the words for my songs, words suitable for grinding, please." Inuyasha wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her back against his body.

"Okay." Kagome smiled and leaned into his body loving the way that his hard chest felt against her back. It was nice. "I think I'm getting inspired anyway." She rested her hands on top of Inuyasha's as her head tilted up to meet with his amber eyes.

"Well then. Perhaps we should call it day?" Inuyasha grinned and whisked Kagome off without telling his band-mates good-bye.


Kagome found herself once again heading to Vibe Records because of Inuyasha who had texted her telling her to come. He didn't give her a reason, but just told her to come. Releasing a breath, Kagome stepped off of the tram and just like before she was greeted to a horde of females screaming at the top of their lungs to see Demonic. As Kagome walked closer to the door she had to plug her fingers into her ears to soften the blow that her eardrums were receiving. As her hand started to go for the badge to show the guard, a girl yelled to Kagome. She turned her head and had to yell back to the girl for her to hear Kagome.

"Do you work here?" A girl with dyed red hair yelled to her. Kagome had to press her lips together having to think before she responded to the other female. Kagome nodded her head slowly. "Is it true? Is Demonic breaking up?" Now it wasn't just the one girl who was asking, but fifteen others were yelling the same thing.

Kagome's eyes widened before speaking. "No-No, they're just on hiatus." Kagome spoke but she wasn't able to get into the building for all of the girls had swarmed around her and brought her back into the front square. All of them were yelling/asking about their favorite band member of Demonic. They all wanted, well according to them they needed to see Inuyasha, Miroku, Kouga and Shippo. "Who-Who did this? Who stole them away from us? We need to see Inuyasha."

Slipping away from the masses of girls, Kagome panted and kneeled down to gather herself, her eyes focused on the concrete tiles. I-I did this. This wouldn't have happened if I didn't go to Sido and write music for Sesshomaru.

"Well, look who we have here. What now, Miss Higurashi?" Kagome rose to her feet and lifted her head to connect her chocolate eyes with Sesshomaru's cold amber ones.

"Woah, look at that. It looks like a mob scene down there." Shippo smiled while looking out of the glass planed window. "Hey. Is that Kagome, who's that she's talking to?"

Inuyasha turned around and peered down through the window and spotted Kagome on the sidewalk near the road talking to… "That damn bastard." Inuyasha growled out and bolted out of the room not listening to Myoga and Miroku who were telling him not to go out there and before Miroku could suggest that Kouga run down to stop him, Kouga had already fled out of the room to stop his friend. Having done track when he was in High School definitely had its benefits now.

Both of them were out of the front doors, they didn't even pay attention to the fans who had screamed for them to notice them. Kouga managed to catch up to Inuyasha and pull him away. Already he had caused a scene. Inuyasha's voice yelled through the crowd.

"Don't do this, Kagome!! NO!!!" He yelled, but Kagome didn't hear him or the desperation that he had screamed.

"Inuyasha come on, you can't be out here man." Kouga did nothing to help the Sesshomaru situation to help Inuyasha stop Kagome. What Kouga did just made Inuyasha madder, for he had started pulling Inuyasha back into the house despite the name-calling Inuyasha had lashed out at Kouga.

"NO!!" Inuyasha had screamed, but it went unheard by Kagome. She had entered the slick black American Bugatti Veyron, it's black tinted windows hid Kagome from the public eye as the door slammed shut and Sesshomaru lifted his head and directed his gaze over to Inuyasha and smirked before sliding behind into the driver side, leaving Kouga pulling Inuyasha into the building. The door slamming with finality to it telling Inuyasha that Kagome had broken her word, she had left him.
