A/N: I'd never think I'd get this far with this fic usually I'm the one to think about it and not know what to do for the next chapter. Let's just say I run on short-lived inspiration, very odd I know but it's the truth and nothing but the truth. I'd like to thank you for all of your reviews and I didn't mention this in the last chapter.
Thank you to Lavender valentine and ChristyKay my fan fiction idols I hope to become like you guys some day and I owe it to them for reviewing mostly every chapter.
But I love all ya'll guys reviewing you make my day a better one so don't think you go unnoticed. If it wasn't for you my inspiration would be long gone and there would never be a chapter nine. So once again thank you for all of your reviews.
I have noticed that I have a tendency to have grammatical errors well since I use word pad because of my stupid computer spacing out on me. *Grumbles* And as you know it doesn't have spell check (what kind of typing program doesn't have spell-check? *gasps* runs around preaching about spell-check) And because my other typing program decided to hate me now. -_-;
In conclusion thank you to all of my reviewers, sorry for my spelling mistakes and I just plain hate word pad and my computer. Oh and by the way this chapter it will be a bit more vivid and detailed than the last. You'll know why :] I'll try to do some review shout outs or questions you'd like answered. If I have time that is :]

Beyond the wiring
Chapter nine
Emotions and A Quiet Reunion
.::Inuyasha dream sequence::.
Inuyasha watched the scene lay outbefore him, Kagome figure stood mere inches away from Naraku; her face casted a hateful glare mostly directed at Naraku.
"Shut up"
"Aw.. is little Kagome protecting lover-boy? you know he will never love you for what you are" Naraku jeered cupping her chin in his hands.
Kagome slumped to the ground tears staining her face, she hated to admit it but Naraku was right. He would never love her for what she really was a copy of someone he loved and his family's house maid. Like they say 'Truth hurts' what is even possible to have such feelings?
She held a hand up to her heart, pain residing there. What was happening to her?
It was if she was experiencing heart-break for the first time, the very same feeling she had during her excursion at school with Inuyasha. She felt her shatter like broken glass unable to pick up the pieces. The truth weighed her down tugging at her heart strings. For once in her life she felt helpless, unable to do anything.
"What are you?"
A fresh batch of tears cascaded down her cheeks glistening in the light.
"I don't know"
Inuyasha stepped back unable to face the truth that was Kagome.
.::End dream sequence::.
"Kagome!"
Inuyasha sprang up wiping the cold sweat gathering on his forehead breathing ragged breaths, he pulled away the covers rushing to the bathroom. He splashed the ice cold water on his face hoping to erase the fragments of the dreams incased in his head. He wanted to forget it but it seemed so real that it scared him.
Could it be true?
He shook his head, she couldn't be anymore than humanoid; he'd seen Naraku work and all he saw was wires and computer stuff. It was just one of those one time things but something felt very real about the dream and it was worming it's way through his mind.
He made his way back to his bed pulling the covers over his head having no will to contemplate on his frighteningly real dreams.
He awoke a few hours later, staring at the flashing red digits on his alarm clock.
'6:45'
He tossed away the covers rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he didn't really get enough sleep anyway and it wouldn't make any much of a difference.
He walked into the parlor with his dog boxers, wrinkled tank top and hair that looked like he ran into a hurricane. While many of the younger maids giggles the older ones sighed, 'When would Master Inuyasha learn to never parade in his undergarments.'
"Dear brother I suggest you get dressed it would be very disrespectful if you were to go around the mansion in that" Sesshomaru commented indignantly.
Inuyasha tossed his head and marched down the hall to 'properly clothe' himself. He headed to the shower seeing that one of his 'other' maids had prepared his uniform for him. He emerged out of the bathroom thirty minutes later with a towel wrapped around his waist. His damp hair wetting the floor.
After getting dressed he grabbed his backpack and tossed it in one of the parlor couches while making his way to the dining room.
He sat at the table digging into the food with out either of the occupants consent. Sesshomaru snorted, his father continued to read the newspaper while his mother just continued to stare at him.
"Inuyasha manners" she chided sending him a small smile.
"Yes mother"
Obediently, he straightened his back and using his fork instead of his hand.
He finished up his breakfast noticing the small hand of the dining room clock moving closer to the six. He rushed to the parlor grabbing his backpack before speeding out the front door.
The three stared at the empty space where Inuyasha sat, didn't he notice that the clock was
twenty minutes early?
Oh well at least he can get to school earlier......
The stopped in front of school apparently hardly anybody was there, he stepped out cursing to himself again. He had done it again, he went to school early because the clock was early again.
'Damn'
Inuyasha closed the door giving the limo driver a quick nod and the limo sped off. He hoped he could find Miroku since he always comes early to find some ladies. It would be close to impossible to find him, he'd be too busy chasing girls or escaping from his rabid fan club or getting knocked out.
He turned around quickly feeling a light tap on the shoulder only to come face to face with Sango who seemed peeved about something.(A/N: Hmm... wonder what maybe it had something to with yesterday)
"Well...do you feel like answering my questions?" she seethed hints of annoyance in her voice
"Keh! Kagome is with Naraku, he's going to fix her and bring her back today so don't worry. Now that questions are done let's go find Miroku"
Sango blinked, why was Inuyasha in such a hurry? Was it something she said?
Soon flocks of students came filling the front lawn as Inuyasha and Sango searched for Miroku. It always seemed to be one of those days.....
-----
Kagome sat in the back seat of Naraku's car silently wishing she reach home already. Last nights events were vivid and Naraku's words seemed to make the pain grow. She hadn't spoke a word to Naraku nor did she to Kaugra and Kanna who attempted to cheer her up. All she wanted to do was run into Inuyasha arms and tell him everything thinking all of it was a lie. But all she could do was dream there was nothing left for her, Inuyasha seemed to be everything she had for the last two months. She strived on it like it was her last lifeline.
The car screeched to a stop as the mansion doors came into view, oh how she longed to come back instead of the dreadful lab where she had resided.
She flung the car door behind her noisily slamming it closed, her hands clutched the door handles. The feeling of nostalgia washing over her as she turned the knob hearing the familiar sounds of the maids bustling and the clattering of pots and pans. She was truly home where she truly belonged.
'Home is where my heart is.....'
Confidently she pushed the door opened, a small smile forming at the corners of her lips.
Kagome walked slowly taking in the sights, sounds, and people of the place she called home. Oh how it felt good to be home, it was funny how one day made you miss home so much.
Kagome turned around the bend bumping into a solid figure, Mrs.Akuma who answered with a smile. "Nice to see you dear, are you feeling better?"
She nodded shifting uneasily between her feet, she hoped that she didn't worry them too much.
"Inuyasha was quite worried actually when he brought you home in his arms, he looked rather distraught"
Kagome blinked, why would Inuyasha worry about her?
Mrs. Akuma gave Kagome a small squeeze on the shoulder before continuing her way down the hall.
Kagome looked back on her recent thoughts, the question is why would Inuyasha be worried about someone like her? Someone who wasn't alive someone who didn't have lift beating in them. She was only a mere replica of something that once was...
The mansion was quiet, it's occupants busily working and Kagome sat in her room restless. Sighing for the umpteenth time, she stood up dressing her maid outfit. She work even if they refused, apparently they had given her a day off because of her so-called condition.
All the chores were done and to top it all off mostly all the maids were on break or sleeping. Only leaving Kagome to do one thing, relax in the garden and wait for Inuyasha to come home since it was only one o'clock and Inuyasha didn't arrive till three.
She sat under the shade of the Sakura tree, soft baby pink petals gracefully falling to the ground. Kagome smiled as one lone pink sakura petal fell into the palm into her hand, no matter how horrible she felt somehow nature seemed to put her to peace. She sang softly a content look graced her face.
Hontou ne taisetsu na
Mono igai subete sutete
Shimaetara ii no ne
Genjitsu wa tada zankoku de
She heard Inuyasha sing it once taking a immediate liking to tune and it's lyrics. She continued to sing not noticing the amber eyes watching her from behind. She held out her hand watching the petals glide softly out of her hands.
Inuyasha watched in awe, so much gentleness she had expressed in such a simple gesture. Was she a humanoid as so many believed, she more human than anyone even Kikyo hadn't shown this much emotion even when she was her old self. That song where had she learned that?
He must of probably heard her sing and picked up the song, her voice was soft and light. It brought him to peace hearing her gentle voice.
He took a step forward his shoes stepping on some leaves making a crunching sound startling the humanoid girl. She turned around sharply a startled look marring her once content face.
Kagome came face to face with those same amber eyes she had come to miss. She stood up striding over to Inuyasha. she had to face him feelings or not she still had obligations and her 'friendship' with him. It was all she would ever be might as well get used to it.
They both stood face to face not uttering a single word taking comfort in each others presence.
"Inuyasha.." her voice uneasy but her eyes held so much more so many emotions.
Uncertainty...Loneliness...Pain...Doubt...Love
Inuyasha saw it all, every single emotion that ran through her eyes that exact moment.
