Okay... explaination of why Sesshomaru didn't know it was Kagome. He was in his human form so he couldn't smell her behind him and didn't know who it was. Also, Kagome could have changed her scent before so he wouldn't know because she is tryingto prtect her family. - If it doesn't make since I'm sorry-

Disclaimer- I don't own Inu and co! Or Kenshin for that matter... or any other Anime I just randomly throw in. ( If you don't know anything about Kenshin please tell me andI will explain it to ya!)

Chapter 8- 1000 words

*****************Inu's POV**********************

I walked up to Sesshomaru's office just like Kagome told me and sat in the corner once inside. Sesshomaru didn't even look my way as he worked on some paper in fron of him.

* Damn fool* I thought looking at him in disgust.

" What do you want Inu Yasha?" he questioned me looking up from his paper finally.

" I was sent up here by force. I take it you took Rin with you considering the fact that she is no longer with Kagome's mother," I stated looking out the window.

" Yes, I have her," he said as I fiddled with a gun. I opened it and looked in it to see how many bullets I had left. One, I had a single shot left, damn, I needed to get more bullets.

" You'll have to get Kagome to sign some forms then because she is her adopted mother," I stated as I started to search my pockets for bullets but sadly I found none. I put the gun away and started to twiddle my thumbs because there was nothing else to do.

" I am aware, I want to talk to you about what happened last week. Why did you come out and talk to me about Kagome?" he questioned and I looked at him really confused.

" I did no such thing, I was in with Shippou talking about some things then I went on another mission," I stated as he glared at me.

" Don't lie, you were outside talking to me in your hanyou form," he said.

" I can only turn hanyou on the night of the full moon so clearly you are mistaken," I stated.

" Are you calling me a liar?" he questioned.

" No, it was Naraku," I heard someone say as the door opened to relieve Kagome.

" I see," I said.

" And there is something I must tell you, Inu Yasha, Kikyou is alive once again," she said sitting in the oppisite corner.

* What the hell? How did she come back?" I questioned in my mind.

" Easy, the same way the old witch did in the past, mud and ashes," she stated and I nodded. I walked out of the room leaving her wih my moronic half- brother and went back to the post I was currently at, which happened to be protecting the Hobo guy. I seriously didn't have anything against him but there was that one time he touched Kagome and tried to kiss her that made me go all phyco on him. I took a seat in the corner as he continued his press meeting.

*****************Kag's POV****************

I sat with my sword leaning against my shoulder with my head slightly bowed as if sleeping. I was acting like I was sleeping because I was being selfish and I didn't currently want to talk about last week. I suddenly remembered the papers in my pocket and got hem out. I threw them at Sesshomaru who caught them and unfolded them to reviel the adoption papers.

" Sign them and I will take them back to the hospital," I stated emotionlessly as he put them in the drawer in his desk.

" I didn't mean what I said the other day," he said.

" Save it, I don't want excuses, I'm here for one reason and one reason only, that's to kill Naraku and get my father. I don't wish for my heart to have to suffer the same fate it had to over 500 years ago," I stated bowing my head again ending the conversation. The rest of the day went by slowly until it was time to go. We rode in the same limo as Sesshomaru and the others. Sango looked at me strangely and I told her not to ask as we reached the house to find Rin outside waiting for Sesshomaru.

" So, this is where she has been, Kagome, why is she hear?" Sango questioned as I walked past her without looking her way to my room. Sango followed me to my room and shut it once she was in.

" She is here with Sesshomaru now, she doesn't need me anymore," I stated trying my best not to cry.

" Kagome, everything will be alright," she whispered embracing me as she wipe a tear that fell from my eye.

" That's what you say," I spat as she hit my arm playfully.

" Hey, I have an idea, lets go to a club and party, the boys can hadle just for one night without us, what do you say?" she questioned as I nodded. Maybe some clubbing is what I needed to get my mind off aof a few things for a while. We both changed and snuck out when everyone else was asleep, or so we thought. Little did we know that Miroku, Inu Yasha, and Sesshomaru were also planning on going clubbing that night and went to the same club as us. Once we got inside we started to dance to the music and we got caught up in the moment to even notice anything around us. I made my way to the middle of the dance floor where I saw someone who looked firmiliar. I looked closer and relized that I knew him.

" Kouga?" I questioned walking up to him as he looked my way with a smile.

" Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you would be with Sesshomaru or someone," he stated as I forced myself to smile.

" Nah, still single and loving it," I stated as he smirked. I knew what that meant, he was also single and I had a gut feeling that he still had a thing for me.

" It was nice running into you again but I really must be going, I have word tomorrow but perhaps we will meet again since yo are my wonmen and all," he stated with a wink. I knew he was just playing around and I smiled at him.

" That would be nice," I stated as he walked away. I smiled and continued dance until I heard someone call my name from on stage and I looked up to see Inu Yasha standing at the mircophone.

* What the hell?* I thought as I made my way towards the stage. I leaned on it and he grabbed my arms and pulled me up.

" What are you doing?" I questioned as he smirked.

" Forcing you to sing with me since the song is a duet," he smirked as the music started. I reconized the song and I glared at him because I got the hint that he was doing this on purpose. The song was 'Bring me to Life' by Evanescence.

how can you see into my eyes like open doors

leading you down into my core

where I've become so numb without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold

until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

before I come undone

(Save me)

save me from the nothing I've become

Kagome- now that I know what I'm without

you can't just leave me

breathe into me and make me real

bring me to life

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

before I come undone

(Save me)

save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life

(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)

Bring me to life

Kagome- frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

Inu Yasha- all this time I can't believe I couldn't see

kept in the dark but you were there in front of me

Kagome- I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems

got to open my eyes to everything

Inu Yasha- without a thought without a voice without a soul

Both- don't let me die here

there must be something more

bring me to life

(Wake me up)

Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up)

Wake me up inside

(Save me)

call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up)

bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up)

before I come undone

(Save me)

save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life)

I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside

(Bring me to life)

When we were finished I looked at Inu Yasha and he just smirked at me. Another song started up and i noticed that it was a slow song but I also noticed that it was one of the songs I had written and haven't released yet. I never had the nerve to release it because it was how I felt about Sesshomaru and I wasn't ready to sing it. Curse the seven hells now that I have to sing it in a club with him in it to heard me and I will most likely cry. The song was called 1000 words ( from Final Fantasy X-2)

I know that you lied to me

Using just your words to shatter me

Your words are like a dream

But dreams could never fool me

It's not right to me...

I'm acting so distant now

Turned my back as you walked away

But I was listening

That you fight your battles far from me

It's not right to me...

"Don't you worry 'cause I come back."

I could hear you speaking as you walked through the door

I acted strong to hide the pain when I turned back the pages

Crying out a windy answer

What if I shed my tears and begged you not to leave?

But now I'm not afraid

To do what's in my heart...

Those thousand words have never been spoken

So far away I'm sending them to you wherever you are

Suspended on shiny wings

Those thousand words have never been spoken

They'll treasure you, make you no longer dare seem

So far away, and hold you forever

That dream isn't over yet

I pretend and say, "I can't forget."

I still live in my day

You've been there with me all the way

It's not right of me...

"Don't you worry 'cause I'll write to you."

I could see you speaking as you looked away

I acted strong to hide the love when I turned back the pages

Anger might've been the answer

But if I shook my head and said that I can't wait

But now I'm not afraid

To do what's in my heart...

Those thousand words have never been spoken

So far away I'm sending them to you wherever you are

Suspended on shiny wings

Those thousands words have never been spoken

They'll treasure you, make you no longer dare seem

So far away and hold you forever

Those thousand words have never been spoken

La la la la

I'm sending them to you wherever you are

Suspended on shiny wings

Those thousands words have never been spoken

La la la la

Make you no longer here feel like calling me

La la la la...

When I finished singing everyone clapped and I bowed as a single tear fell down my cheek. I jumped off the stage and went to the back to sit for awhile.

" Hey Kagome, that was the song you wrote for Sesshomaru isn't it?" Sango questioned walking up to me as I nodded and I ordered a water. She sat down scross from me and smirked.

" I never knew Inu Yasha could sing did you?" she questioned and I giggled.

" I didn't know he did until he called me up for the duet, that was the last thing I expected out of him," I laughed as three guys walked up. Not just any three guys but Miroku, Inu Yasha, and Sesshomaru.

" Hey Kag, may I have this dance?" Inu Yasha questioned holding his hand out to me and I giggled asI accepted. I knew he was doing this to piss off Sesshomaru but I figured if he didn't ask me then he truely did have someone new and I would have to attempt to move on. Miroku and Sango were right behind us and a slow song came on and we danced.

* Sesshomaru, come here* Inu Yasha thought as Sesshomaru listened and started to approch us. I was too comfortable to notice that I had switched dance partners and that I now had my head on Sesshomaru's chest as we danced. I heard purring come from the person I was dancing with and looked up to see Sesshomaru's eyes closed as he held me close to him. I placed my forehead on his chest looking down at our feet and I guess he noticed this because he stopped danceing and tilted my chin up so our eye's would meet. He ran his thumb over my cheek and I looked up at him sadly as I slowly started to pull away from him. He tightened his hold and wouldn't let me go.

" I lost you once Iris, I'm not going to lose you again," he growled in my ear as he kissed my neck. Tears started to fall from my eye's as I relaxed into his hold as we continued to dance, " so, you major in dance?"

" Yes, I'm taking two years or dance and two years of music," I stated as he nodded.

" I see you got your wish of being a bodyguard," he smirked and I shook my head with a smile on my face.

" I wonder how you figured that one out, genius," I giggled as he slid his hand down my back to the small in my back bring me closer to him more.

" What was that song you were singing earlier?" he questioned as I stopped danceing and looked at the ground.

" It was called 1000 words, I wrote it," I stated as he lift my chin up with his index finger.

" You want to know what I wanted to do during that song?" he questioned with a smirk on his face. I looked at him with a raised brow. He brought his lips down to mine nd captured my lips in a sweet kiss before he pulled away, " I steal your first kiss, shame on me, you let me steal your second kiss shame on you," he whispered into my ear making me shiver.

" Your a jerk you know that," I whispered laying my head back down on his shoulder as he placing his chin on my head as we started to dance again.

" Yes, yes, I have been told this many times," he stated with a smile. We were too caught up in the moment to notice the four people watching us with smiles
