She had dreams like everyone else, she had a family, which she thought she could trust, and she also had friends that would be there for her. But with all of that she gets into trouble each and every second of the day.

Kagome Higurashi walked dishearteningly to the window with her cell phone in hand. Weak, fragile, stupid, this was everything she was but trying to exclude those futile labels she had to call the one person that would actually listen to her. So putting the phone up to her ear, she waited for her to pick up. Sango maybe pissed to the point that this conversation would lead to a tirade of screams but as she waited for her to pick up, Kagome was absolutely right.

"Kagome! Where the hell are you!"

Cringing, Kagome smiled. "I'm okay. I'll be coming back tomorrow and if you think our band is over think again."

"I know, Kohaku just spoken to us about that. What's going on Kagome?"

"Nothing. Aren't you happy that Rapture's going up to the top."

Sango sighed. "Of course but everything seems out of place right now."

"Don't worry okay. We'll be making our debut album soon and everything's going to-"

"Kagome. He knows."

Kagome gripped the phone at the stern tone that projected from Sango's voice. There was never a point where Sango would ever sound serious…mad but never serious.

"What do you mean he know? Knows what? Who's he?"

Suddenly the phone went silent. Kagome stared at her cell just to make sure she didn't accidentally hang up on her. Putting the phone back on her ear, she heard Sango yelling than SLAM! A door shut so loudly it caused Kagome to immediately pull the phone away.

"Sango?"

"You damn idiot. You're lucky I didn't have a chance to go on a plane. I would have been wasting money for something that wasn't important. When you come back you better stop by my dressing room you understand me Ryo."

"Sesshomaru?"

"Just make sure you see me when you get back. You wasted all my time going to that damn airport only to find out that you're coming back. So you better take the time out to see me understand."

Not even having a chance to reply the phone went dead. She really didn't understand what he meant or what his intentions were but it didn't concern her too much. It was better than staying here in America, cooped up in a room with out any chance of getting out.

Speaking of escaping, that was pointless, there were guards blocking the front door and if she even attempted to touch that door she'll only receive punishment. That was all Naraku said, she didn't know what kind of punishment was in store for her but she sure wasn't going to find out.

"At least I get to sing again." 3 more hours than it was off to the airport. The plan was set and all she had to do was follow them precisely. As much as she hated her brother, there was no choice but to follow these malicious plans. It would either be that or her brother's death. She would have voted for her brother's demise but he was still family and her own life was on the line as well. So plan one was about to begin, play the role as Ryo Takuya and sell millions.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"So we can't tell her. Why would I listen to my stupid brother? Once she gets in here I'm going to tell her straight no matter what my brother says."

Sango laid her feet on the table. She was stressed out, it was the day of Kagome's return and everything was supposed to be normal. After being pushed out of the conference room and getting her phone taken away by Sesshomaru yesterday, the whole action angered her. Though when Sesshomaru was over with the call all he said was 'You tell Kagome I know that she's a girl I'll tell the president of Shikon Records what you all are scheming.' He was stern about the whole thing but that was all he said until leaving with nothing but anger on his face.

"Just shut it Inuyasha. We have our careers back and you want to blow it. Just play along with Sesshomaru. It's not like he's going to hurt her or something. Trust me, I'm Kagome's best friend so there's nothing to worry yourself about."

Waiting patiently in the conference room, Sango looked out the window with disgust. The birds were fluttering, the sky was clear and the sun brightly illuminated the room, it was a perfect day. It wasn't like Sango didn't want to see Kagome's arrival but she had plans as well. Miroku had a romantic brunch planned out for the evening and she had to cancel.

Sango, who slouched in her chair, finally sat up right as the doorknob slowly turned. Inuyasha's eyes were glued to the door but once it revealed a beaming smile and a hat, sigh's broke out as Asaka jovially walked in.

"Where's Ryo huh? I can't wait till Ryooooo comes back. I made a song for him want to hear." Asaka jumped on the table and struck a pose with a hand laid flatly on his chest and his other hand rising toward the sky. It was something like a Romeo and Juliet skit, as Romeo calls out above the balcony. Though as the two of them beamed glares at the hyperactive lead singer, they were quickly brushed off. Asaka cleared his throat not even wanting to hear a reply from them.

"Okay here it goes. Ryo is ariiiving. He's going to be so liiively. I'm going to spend some tiiiime with him… Because he's my friiiiend." Asaka was immediately stopped by a forceful tug to the ground. Landing on his butt with his eyes brawling with tears, Asaka took off his hat and stood up. The lead singer gave them the puppy dog pout with rivers of tears streaking his face. He bit the edge of his hat and ran out the door like rapid fire.

"I'm telling Sessho-Kun!" His voice echoed through the corridor as footsteps faded down the hall. Inuyasha paid no mind to it as he leaned back in his chair, letting out an irritable sigh. If he hadn't pull Asaka off of the table he didn't know what was going to come out of that guys mouth.

"What did you do to Asaka?" Gentle, soothing and also a relieving voice was heard at the doorway. Almost as quickly as she could react, Kagome was pulled into a hug that eased her muscles, letting worries to escape her.

"Kagome you idiot. I'm glade you're back I thought you would never come back. What happened?" Sango inquired frantically.

With a nervous smile she scratched the back of her head. "Let's shoot for the top. Start over… what do you say?"

"Huh?"

"We're going to be number 1 on Shikon Records charts. That's what I mean. Shoot for the top!" She shot a fist in the air with a gleaming smile on her face. But when the good mood was finally spreading throughout the room, Kagome found herself flat on her face as arms grappled her waist.

"Ryyyyooooo!"

"Damn get off of me Asaka! I thought you ran away!"

Asaka held Ryo tightly, still lying on the man's back. "I did but when I heard your voice I came running back and here you are. Hehehe. Now lets spend time together Ryo!"

Ryo strenuously crawled away from his grasp, his claws digging into the carpet. Though the more Ryo tried to get away from Asaka the more his intensifying grip constricted his waist. If it wasn't for Inuyasha who particle wrenched the man off of him, Ryo knew he wouldn't have escaped.

"Let me go! Ryo promised me we spend time together!"

"Shut up you childish idiot!" Inuyasha exclaimed, making tears build in the man's eyes.

"Waaahhhh! I'm telling Sessho-Kun!"

"Wait Asaka!" Ryo was amazed how Asaka completely stopped at the sound of her voice. He was half way down the corridor, turning his attention toward Ryo who poked his head out of the door. "Where's Sesshomaru?"

"I'm not telling!"

"Come on Asaka! Please tell me where he is!"

"Why? So you can spend more time with him than with me?"

"No of course not. I just need to speak with him about-um- about the manga we're secretly going to give you for your birthday."

Even a few feet away you could see Asaka's pearly teeth glimmering. "Fine, sense it involves my manga. He's in his dressing room I think but it'll always be lock. But when you're done talking to him I'll be waiting down stairs for you so we can go to the bookstore okay."

"Yeah." Preparing to run out the door, a hand grabbed his wrist and he stared at piercing golden eyes that caught his breath for a moment. "Inuyasha let me go."

"You're being stupid. Don't follow his games he already Kno-"

Bam!

Ryo was let go while Inuyasha crashed to the floor by the powerful punch he received from Sango. The whole thing seemed eye opening but there wasn't time. Ryo bolted out of the room before Inuyasha could regain consciousness and went down the corridor, taking the elevator to the 11th floor.

Anxiety coursed through her body as she paced in a circle, waiting for the elevator to stop. Sesshomaru sounded pretty mad over the phone and all the talk of being at the airport was out of place. How would he even know that Ryo was being sent away from Japan? Who told him? That was all that concerned him for now. Just thinking of what he might do was devastating enough. Maybe a severe beating was coming his way.

When the double doors slid open, Ryo calmly walked into the hallway, slowly making his way to Sesshomaru's dressing room. Depression suddenly loomed over his head, just touching the doorknob made her shudder. He expected the door to be locked but it smoothly opened, a creaking noise reverberating in her ears.

"Damn. You call this a dressing room?" His eyes searched the big area; the so-called dressing room was more like a well-furnished living room. With its white couch in the middle of the carpeted floor, the body length mirror plastered beautifully up against the wall and the many doors along each and every corner of the area. She started to search the premises and opened doors. Door after door it revealed more clothes than her own closet.

She couldn't believe all the doors she opened that only had clothes to shoes, to even numerous of materials such as diamond watches, chained necklaces and belts. It could have been endorsement materials but it's not like Ryo ever seen Sesshomaru wearing any of it.

"That bastard." Feeling a little jealous, Ryo walked into the glimmering room filled with jewelry. It didn't catch her attention before but down on a spotlight, in a glass case was his own watch that he received from his mother. While everything was laid scattered in glass boxes, Ryo's watched laid in a holster in a single glass box all by its self.

"He kept it safe." Ryo touched the glass, the cold feeling on his fingertips enveloping in his very soul. It may sound insane but the sight of his personal belongings taken care of so safely caused his heart to leap for a second. "He does care after all."

Ryo lifted the glass case, placing it gentle and quietly on the ground. The moment she touched her own watch is when an alarm set off in the room. Red lights and a blaring siren made her step away from the watch but the person she bumped into caught her attention. Just the whole soulless glare made every inch of her being ignore the ear piercing alarms.

"At least I know you can follow directions you petty thief." Sesshomaru shoved his hand into his pocket and pulled out a switch, the alarm finally turning off.

"Petty thief. You're the one who stole my stuff you bastard."

"Really cause I thought you gave it to me." Sesshomaru snatched Ryo's wrist and dragged him out of the room, vigorously placing him on the couch. "Didn't you give it to me Ryo. I thought you loved me." With his back laying firmly on the couch and his waist straddled by Sesshomaru's legs, there was no way of escape. Ryo didn't even bother to struggle out of his grasp because he already knew Sesshomaru to well. He was just playing with his mind once again and he wasn't going to fall for it this time.

"You're a dog you know that."

"Interesting word. Dog…I never have been described as such a thing."

"What ever. Just stop it." All Ryo did was plaster a scowl on his face as his neck was being outline with kisses. The feverish feeling of Sesshomaru's fingers trailing down the side of Ryo's face invigorated his skin. He felt a rush of adrenaline when Sesshomaru's lips traced his chin and working its way to the bottom of his lip. Ryo wanted to open his mouth, there was this feeling that itched for his mouth to open but the slight thought of demeaning himself to that level stopped him from doing so.

The light kisses were enough to please him but Ryo wanted more. His ego was big and his mind didn't let the fact go that Sesshomaru thought he was kissing another guy. Afraid… that was all Ryo could feel. He was afraid to lose Sesshomaru, afraid that if he told him that Ryo Takuya was a girl, he would just drop him like that.

Just when the buttons of his shirt was being undone, Ryo felt the need to let the feeling of Sesshomaru's hands explore his body to go on. Though Ryo pushed him away and lunged a fist to Sesshomaru's face. He successfully landed the punch and Sesshomaru fell to the floor.

"Stop doing that you bitch." Ryo got up and head for the door.

"You know. I can help you."

"What?"

"I said I can help you with your career. I'll leave Linear light and help you with your songs."

"W-Why would you do that?" Ryo asked incredulously.

With a smile he boldly said. "Because I love you Ryo. I trust you and I want to be with you, all you have to do is trust me." Giving him clues that Sesshomaru actually knew about Ryo's little secret wasn't going into his thick skull. Ryo just shook his head in disbelief.

"I'm a guy. You can't just say those kinds of things."

"I hold secrets and you hold secrets, if you love me than share them with me."

"You're wrong. I don't hold anything from you and I don't love you." His touch, his warmth, his kisses…how can Ryo be such a fool to deny all of that. How can he just turn away from him and walk down the corridor? There was a force that wanted him to go back, to run back to those strong arms and stay with him but Ryo marched forward and into the elevator.

He had a career to think about and a life to think about. His life was at stake and proceeding with Naraku's absurd plans had to be played out soon. Like he said, Rapture was going to become big in three months and in that three months Naraku was going to take control of the business while Ryo distracts the president with the booming success of there band.

He didn't know how he was going to do that but he knew there was nothing that could stop him. He had the talent, he had the will to save both her brother and her own life but with music, there is also a remorseful melody of regret that will always cling to you.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
