A/N: Gee haven't seen the verdana font in a while it seemed like weeks that I haven't updated, and I've been focusing on my Xanga site. So sorry for the delay and I reread the last chapter and I almost destroyed my keyboard because of all grammatical errors. I am such a idiot...I'd like to thank the readers who reviewed the story and the ones who just read it. And If you are new to this story I welcome and please enjoy the ride. This chapter will focus on Kagome and Inuyasha mostly and I'm wondering how I'm going to fit Sango and Miroku in this story. I'll just have to squeeze them in the story line (literally). Thanks for all of the reviews and I hope you enjoy this chapter. *Bows and showers readers with balloon yo-yo's* I got one meself

Beyond the wiring
Chapter 10
Under the Sakura tree
Amber clashed with caldet.
For what seemed like hours, they broke each others gaze turmoil slowly building between the two. Who seemed speechless at the moment, neither saying a word.
'He will never love you for what you are'
Naraku's words flashed in her mind, engraving itself into her mind bringing the pain she had felt the day before. The feeling of heartbreak washing over her, tears slowly building in her eyes. She lowered her head shielding her face from Inuyasha's view, she wouldn't let him see her cry.
Inuyasha stood there silently gazing into her eyes, watching the feeling of pain fill her misty-blue eyes. He saw the tears that welded in her eyes, before lowering her head.
Why was she crying?
Was it even possible for her to cry, she wasn't a humanoid at all neither was she human?
Before he even had a chance to speak, she took off running towards the garden entrance. He ran after her trailing closely behind her. He ran even faster in determination to catch up to the 'girl', he burst forward his arms circling her waist slowing her down. They stood in the hallway, trying to catch their breath.
Kagome jerked out of his arms turning around to face him, tears sliding down her cheeks. The pain seemed to throb even more, pounding in sync with her heartbeat.
Ba bump. Ba bump. Ba bump.
She bit her lip, silently wishing the pain, she had tried to shun the day before to disappear. She choked a sob seeing the questioning glance Inuyasha shot at her, he would never understand even if she told him. She broke into her dash once more speeding around the corner, relieved that Inuyasha hadn't followed her. She reached her room, closing the door and locking it leaning against the door.
Hearing a thud on the other side of the door left her wondering why Inuyasha had insisted on following her. Maybe...maybe...No he'd would never care for someone like her.
"Kagome?"
She shook her head quietly listening to Inuyasha's words, leaving a hand to rest at her heart the pain slowly beginning to fade away.
"I'm sorry"
Disbelief struck her, as she sat there at the other side of the door as Inuyasha apologized to her for something he didn't do.
A part of her wanted her to fling the door open and tell him everything and say it wasn't his fault, the other part of her wanted to curl up in the corner of her room and die.
"Why?" She whispered.
She didn't receive a reply, as the door knob rattled before slowly turning clockwise. The door opened, Inuyasha squeezing through the small space. Kagome slinked back leaning against the wall, how did Inuyasha open the door?
"But..but, the door was locked and.."
Inuyasha smirked showing her a quick glimpse of what looked like a key. Kagome stood there dumbfounded, he had done all of this just to apologize to her?
He kneeled down brushing the tears sliding down Kagome's face, "No crying ya dummy".
She sniffed wiping her face with the back of her sleeve, she gave him a brief smile the total opposite of what she was feeling inside. Wasn't he freaked out beyond belief like Naraku had been when he had seen her cry? But somehow it seemed different that before like he had understood what she was feeling? Was he truly different from those who seemed to cringe at what she was?
Neither human nor humanoid.
She didn't what she was anymore, it was starting to make her wonder who se really was. Amber eyes snapped her out of her reverie as she stood up smoothing out her ruffled hair.
Inuyasha stood there silent, he wasn't surprised that she wasn't what she really seemed, there seemed something more to her than just Kagome. There was something special she had that Kikyo didn't, a aura surrounded her that seemed to glow making the things around her brighten. That was what her effect on people and somehow it was changing him for the better but it's not like he would admit it.
She transformed him from the silent brooding Inuyasha who barely spoke to anyone except Miroku and his family, to the old Inuyasha. The one who smiled and spoke too many times to count and most of all the Inuyasha who content with his life just like back then. When he was a child...so happy...so free.....so content
He glanced at her face, the very same that was etched into his mind for the past month. She made him forget, the pain he felt from when Kikyo died till the day before he met her.
Kagome blinked, Inuyasha was staring at her with this dreamy look plastered on his face. A smile grazing his lips, the sparkle in his eyes returning. She gave him a light tap on the shoulder getting no response, she tapped him on the shoulder once more getting a more successful reaction then the last.
He jerked slightly drawing a squeak from Kagome, snapping out his throughts.
"Come on mutt"
Inuyasha followed deciding not to snap at her just yet, he'd let it slide for now but that wouldn't mean he couldn't exact his revenge later. He stopped for a while a plan already formulating in the back of his mind, "Oi Kagome wait up!"
He stared blankly into the hall noticing Kagome had already turned around the corner and never heard a word he said. He ran after her muttering curses and something about 'stupid wenches not knowing when to stop'.
When he finally found her, she was sitting in the garden once more under the shade of his favorite sakura tree. Slowly he creeped among the bushes hoping not to draw attention to the rustling of the bushes. He sat next her noticing her eyes where closed and the same melody sprung from her lips.
Hontou ne taisetsu na
Mono igai subete sutete
Shimaetara ii no ni ne
genjitsu wa tada zankoku de
Kagome opened each eye slowly, a sheepish smile formed on her lips. Inuyasha smiled continuing to sing the rest of the song.
Sonna toki itsu darate
Me o tojireba waraettru
Kimi ga iru.....
She smiled humming the rest of the song, the sound of Inuyasha's voice dancing through her head. She inched closer to Inuyasha, leaning her head on his shoulder. Sleep slowly taking over her, her eyelids grew heavier as each minute passed. Darkness consumed her as a smile formed at the corner of her lips.
Inuyasha glanced at the sleeping girl next him brushing a strand away from her face. Slowly his eyes closed shut, a peaceful expression on his sleeping face.
-----
Miroku and Sango watched from behind the bushes, smiling at how close their friends had gotten. Sango inched away from Miroku knowning his hands were probably on it's way.
He smiled acting ever so innocent, hoping his dearest Sango wouldn't notice how close his hand was getting to south of the border.
Just a little closer....
In the end, he was rewarded with a ever so painful slap on his cheek and maybr the consequences of being deaf. Sango muttered a string of curses before returning her attention back to her best friends who had fallen asleep. She smiled one last time before leaving her friends to their slumber, dragging Miroku to the garden doors.
Leaving only the silence and the soft snores of Kagome and Inuyasha....
A/N: Yeah I know very short....And why the sudden change of attitude between Inuyasha and Kagome?? You'll find out sooner or later. I got a few boxes of Pocky from the grocery store and I only have one left but I'll share with you guys. *Showers readers with Pocky* Also read and review and can someone answer this senile person's question, What is a beta reader? what does this person do? and how does this person do it?
