Author's Note: Piano Time! Five verses in this chapter! Seven all together!

Ok, if you haven't noticed, fanfiction.net has now put up that it had an error with the reviews. It seems I was not the only one with this problem.. lets hope they fix it sometime soon!!

And one more thing. For the people who told me I spelt "Amore" wrong, I didn't. I checked in a dictionary, and it clearly showed it with an "e". To prove it, I'll even put the definition. "An Italian word meaning "love"."

Well, enough of that. On with the story!

Inuyasha, was having the time of his life. He was learning how to dance! It was amazing, and fun! He would have to do this more often, and Kagome looked like she was having fun down there too. He decided to press his luck. He pulled her closer to him, her body touching his, and his chin a top her head. Oh yes, now this was amazing. And she complied with the closeness.


"When the stars make you drool just like a pasta e fasul,

That's amore.

When you dance down the street with a cloud at your feet,

You're in love.

When you walk in a dream but you know you're not,

Dreaming signore.

Scusami, but you see, back in old Napoli,

That's amore,

That's amore."


The song ended, and all was quiet. He didn't want to let go. So, he didn't, and he just talked softly into her hair, "That was fun.. can we do it again sometime?"


She nodded her head, and he let go. "Time to learn to piano?" She asked.


"Yes, but I have one question.." Inuyasha said.


"Shoot." Kagome said, walking over to the piano to take a seat.


"What's, 'Amore,' mean?" He asked, looking at her eye's and they softened when he said that.


"Love."

Kagome sat down and checked out her surroundings. She situated herself in front of the piano, and Inuyasha sat down next to her. She told him all about the main major's, and the basic tunes and sounds and everything of the piano. She also told him about the pedals at the bottom of the piano.


"Sit behind me, as if you were riding a horse." He had no idea why she said that, but he did that anyway.


"Now, put your hands on the key's, like right beside me." He did as he was told, once again. She put her hands on top of his, and her palm touched the top on his hands. "I will guide you, on what notes to press."


She guided his hands across the piano, as gracefully as she did her's. He was amazed, once again! He was playing it, with Kagome's help of course, but it was still fun.


She then let go of his hands, and he was playing it all by himself in no time at all. Kagome smiled on the inside, she was happy that she could help him out. "Okay, as a test, I want you to play this song, and I will sing the lyrics, okay?"


He nodded, and began playing.


"Been a fool, been a clown,

Lost my way from up and down.

And I know, yes I know,

And I see it in your eyes.

That you really weren't suprised at me at all,

Not at all.

And I know by your smile it's you."


Her singing.. it was wonderful. He didn't know how many times he thought that, it must have been over a million or two. This girl had talent. He wished she would just talk like that in front of other people, or sing. He wanted them all to know how wonderful she was.


"Don't care for me, don't cry,

Let's say good-bye, Adieu.

It's time to say good-bye, I know that in time.

It will just fade away, it's time to say good-bye."


'I'm not saying good-bye to anyone. I hope if I ever have to, it won't be to Kagome. I don't know what I would do around the house without her, be bored like I was before she came. But before she came.. it was beyond boring. Without her, all would be boring. No music.. no dancing, no fun. What has this girl done to me?' He thought.


"I stand alone, and watch you fade away like clouds,

High up and in the sky.

I'm strong and so cold,

As I stand alone.

Good-bye, So long, Adieu."


'For some reason.. this song is like my feelings for Kagome.. it gets more and more intimate as it goes on, like my feelings are progressing..' He made that observation, just by listening to her voice, and his piano key's playing by his hands.


"Oh how I love you so, lost in those memories.

And now you've gone,

I feel the pain, feeling like a fool, Adieu."


'Love..do I? Do I love her? How could I though? I just met here about a day or two ago..but, it seems as if I have known her forever. Maybe love at first sight? Damn fairy-tale stories are starting to get to me. Feh!' He went on and played the fifth verse.


"My love for you burns deep,

Inside me, so strong.

Embers of times we had,

And now here I stand lost in a memory.

I see your face and smile."

'Her smile..' He stopped playing. Kagome was about to go on singing, but instead she asked, "Why did you stop?"


He looked at her, and since he was sitting in the back of her, like on a horse he put his arm's around her waist. He then put his head on her shoulders. "Kagome.. thank you. For everything. The dance, the music, you trusting me on the talking and singing issue..your like my best friend."


She smiled, her wish for him to show her his soft side had come true. "Your welcome, Inuyasha."

Miroku, Sango, and Naraku walked down the halls, discussing what happened earlier in first period, Math class.


"Yeah, so he was like, all holding her, as if they were lovers! How come he never told us about her?" Miroku complained.


"Well, maybe he didn't want perverted guys on his tail, teasing him about it." Sango stated, glaring over at Miroku.


"But, why wouldn't he be asking Inuyasha all sorts of questions? It sort of just came out of the blue, you know?" Naraku had to walk fast to keep up with Sango and Miroku. Then, Sango stopped dead in her tracks.


"Miroku, remember when Inuyasha was in the fight with Kouga? He said Kagome wasn't his!" Sango exclaimed, very surprised.


"Yeah, you're right.." Miroku stated, rubbing his chin. "Hm.. now what could this mean?"


Naraku got an evil grin on his face, "Are you guys thinking, what I'm thinking?"


"That you have to feed your cat when you get home too?" Sango asked, sarcastically.


"No, just one word. MATCHMAKER!" Naraku said to Sango, pointing to her. "You get close to the girl, Miroku and I will get close to Inuyasha, and in the end, get them together! How's that?"


"I think that just might be the best idea you have had all year, my friend."
